Western people often think Japanese storytelling ambiguous and shallow with moments of high melodrama. Japanese often think Western storytelling obvious and childish. Usually…

Why does everyone think soft wet egg whites are ideal? Yech. I like 'em browned, like they've been stir fried so they have a crust on them and are crunchy dammit. I like runny yolks though so I inevitably just eat eggs over easy and skip the scramble.

And Weinhard's root beer. I've never had one so creamy. I need to try their ginger ale.

You do know that the artists had a choice on how to draw this? And that the way they chose to draw the women reflected the male gaze and sexist depictions? They didn't have to choose to put them in swimsuits with their breasts spilling out. It's hypocritical to depict them in a sexist way then tell readers it's bad…

Single purpose? But… but you can make CAKES in them!

Not all TV shows are for everyone. We enjoy it because we like the animation, music, action and some of the characters, and we love the titans which are ridiculous and make us giggle, and we get a kick our of how the guy who wrote it basically draws the faces of people he hates as titans that are being plastered all…

No, that's really not the message at all. But you have to have read beyond the first few chapters to see that. You know, take the work as a whole to understand what it's saying.

What's sad is that he and his rep felt like for him to survive they had to come out and say he'd voted for Hillary. Because if he hadn't people would have ruined him. That's just wrong, that you need to reveal who you vote for, and that it has to be one specific candidate because you're afraid for your livelihood. …

We got rid of cable and only watch internet streaming channels, so no ads and less time in front of the TV. I only listen to a small listener supported radio station that plays jazz and old radio shows, so no ads there. And we've been spending more time outside with the neighbors and doing other fun things. I didn't…

My God, who cares? Cutting the cord has helped me avoid all the BS this election. The only place I can't seem to avoid it is the AV Club.

In other words, you, like Abrams, have no idea what it is that Trekkies fundamentally love about Star Trek.

That knife in his left hand is hand-made by a master bladesmith Bob Kramer whose work has a years-long waiting list, unless you're willing to pony up thousands of dollars at the occasional auction. There's video of their encounter on youtube.

Especially true if said children are male.

I guess he was given that name for the show, but in the comics he was given no name and Alvarez was his girlfriend, and he took hers. So really, he's anything people want him to be. Though if you go back far enough, I suppose all of us are African.
