Wow, or a person from Jalopnik might be interested in the article, read it, and move on to the comments, only to find themselves being slagged off by someone claiming we are all a bunch of idiots that don’t know about the metric system, or the weight of water, and coming off as kind of a douche doing so.

I sincerely doubt they allow it unless the person has been suffering a long time and has tried everything else. Also, I think it’s every person’s right to decide if they think enough is enough, my/your personal opinion on the subject doesn’t matter. Would certainly feel bad for the people who care about them, but it’s…

Gravity sucked.

“Fascist regime arises from an aging democracy wrapped up in its own complacency” is a great story hook, if done competently.

*hugs you* - you be just as political as you want - this shit is important.

People disparage the “trade relations” part of Star Wars, but like...Imagine Game of Thrones but Star Wars? I’d be down.

Y’all motherfuckers can accept Gravity, an entire movie based around this concept that’s supposed to take place in our universe with our physics, but can’t accept that Leia can use the force to move like 20 feet in zero-G.

The 360° video...

I’d accept that argument before believing that she just fell for the dude.

I like the fanwank that suggests that she was being Kilgraved by Anakin the entire time. He was (probably subconsciously and accidentally) using the Force to seduce and manipulate her, which is also why the Jedi Council forbids romantic relationships because there’s no good way to tell if a Jedi Knight is simply…

As with so much of the prequels, lots of good ideas, poorly executed.

The biggest problem with Padme’s characterization is that she falls in love with Anakin.

I think she’s a great character that’s forced into a bad relationship for plot reasons.

I don’t understand how Padme can fall for a guy who is a) creepy, b) fascist leaning, and c) a murderer.

The new movies acknowledge the prequels. Kylo Ren mentions a clone army in the first one and Luke briefly recounts the rise of Darth Sidious in the new one. There’s not a lot of reason to dwell on those events 50something years later, honestly.

This is a great example of how tsunami waves can be funneled into a confined space and really beat the crap out of anything they encounter, despite not being very large. All it takes is for one thing to break loose, then the water has a battering ram to use on the next thing in its way. I would expect this same event…

Now this is meat and potatoes nature blogging. Good stuff.

The March 11, 2011 tsunami from Japan made its way across the Pacific and hit the west coast of North America at only a couple of feet yet was still able to do this in the Santa Cruz harbor:

Your rose tinted glasses are too strong. New cars are great, old cars looked the same too.

That wasn’t in the old show?

You never begin with “I mean.” You start a sentence with “I mean” when you’re about to clarify a point made in a previous sentence, unless you’re a whiny, 13 year-old girl.
