I see where you're coming from. I do think at the end of the day people will respond to the final horsepower numbers and get over the cylinder count needed to get there, but perhaps today is not that day.

The article discusses that the Avenger is outselling the Dart because it's discontinued and on clearance sale. It doesn't discuss the engine options at all, it gives comparative price as the reason for the sales differential.

Number of cylinders is irrelevant. Horsepower numbers and power to weight ratio are what's important. If you can get the same horsepower out of a smaller, lighter engine it's much better not merely for fuel economy but also for overall performance.

You're behind the times in terms of engine technology. There are twin cylinder motorcycle engines putting out numbers that would embarrass 4 cylinder car engines of even ten years ago, and 4-cylinder sports car engines with similarly impressive numbers that way outperform bigger engines of a decade past.

WTF. "No historical significance"...? Let museums decide that. No matter what legalities are involved, this is a huge PR disaster for Chrysler and someone needs to have their damned head examined.

Here's a solution. Re-donate them to car museums or private collectors with the stipulation that they cannot legally be…

Let me restate this for you.

Nothing infuriates me more than the "fish" insult. And I don't give a fuck about "oh I'm gay!", it's to me a man treating a woman like shit and I will NOT tolerate that. Period.

What systemic inequity do you refer to? What exploitation exists of imaginary elf girls rendered in line drawings and computer graphics? Have you forgotten what the word Fantasy in Final Fantasy means?

I think it's Olympus Mons on Mars, but I could be wrong.

You fall into the trap here of assigning western Puritan cultural mores to a different society and culture who does not hold or necessarily agree with those mores.

Or maybe you could just get over your prudery? Or your apprehension of being judged for what media you enjoy? Maybe leave a Playboy or two on the coffee table and learn to say "yeah, I like it, deal". Or, if you really don't like it, find something more bowdlerized to your standards.

It's a serious industry over here, too, but western Puritanism makes the line a lot brighter between "porn" and "legitimate media". But even over here, "porn parodies" are popular, and the internet / fanworks are all over anything that's highly popular especially genre work. If Marvel ever started doing X-Men and…

This entire thread is made of win.

This is brilliant!

There isn't a "reply to thread" button sadly, and you posted a reply on the side of the opposition and so I just tacked my post to yours. It was aimed at all the self-righteous milifem crusaders who choose to aggressively demonize male-demographic entertainments while throwing around words like "sexism",…

You know, reading shit like this makes me wish you hateful bitches would just kill us all already. You know you want to.

One, the small size of the unit was deliberate as most action in Vietnam was on the squad level and Cameron was deliberately trying to invoke a Vietnam feel. The film showed us a technologically superior and arrogant (and obviously American) group going in against a virtually unarmed enemy with superior numbers and…

I'm sorry, you're wrong. The film certainly does hold up today and remains influential. I get that you prefer one over the other, but it's wrong to say there's any form of consensus in that direction. As I said, it's generally held that the two are both extremely good and also very different films, and both excel at…

Xenomorph isn't a name, it's a term Lt Gorman uses like once in the second film and that's it. The word "xenomorph" means "other shape", it's just a term for an alien creature. The creatures never had a name for their species.

"Aliens, a film that most would agree is not nearly as good as the first"
