on nearly every modern car

That's kinda sorta where I was heading ... implication-wise. If you think cartoons are stupid or childish, your gonna thing anime is stupid or childish. Personally I like cartoons that are specifically created to be intentionally funny whether or not you consider their subject matter to be childish ... I also happen…

The biggest problem I have with Muricans going through all this soul searching trying to find the ultimate clarifying description for these "categories" is that so many people utterly and completely disregard what the word actually means in its original language. Case in point: "anime" means "animated" (which, by the…

Jeeminy Christmas, how is this so hard a concept for some people? You nailed the definition with 100% pinpoint accuracy, and having known that factual definition myself since the first time it was ever used on American soil, I cannot begin to understand why the question was even tendered in this place/day & age.

The word "cartoon" has negative stigma attached but "anime" doesn't? In what world?

Totes on board with your line of reasoning ... I've been treated very nicely and politely and courteously in a few of my interactions with cops, and I've also been treated like dog shit in a few, and I'm the same person in either case. I've been called a liar and accused of [potential?] DUI by a CHiP who pulled me…

Ummm ... when you say 'driving without a stop for' 40 years do you mean he's been driving continuously for that time or that he hasn't been pulled over in that time?

I think it's more a matter of good taste / common sense overcoming the urge to produce another stupidly ugly anime-inspired useless turdmobile like so many concepts the Asians are spitting out ... have you seen the new Maxima? Fugly with a capital Holy Shit that's one stupidly ugly thing. :-)

Interesting. Okay, I would gladly believe that there were hundreds of thousands of _cases_ worldwide, but deaths? Are all these deaths in poverty stricken 3rd world countries with no modern medicine at all? Do you know any trustworthy web sources that provide the factual data as well as analysis (as opposed to a web…

Well, for one thing "unemployed" is not a job ... it's the opposite of a job. The graphic is listing jobs, not "what do people do for the most part of their day".

Measles once killed hundreds of thousands of people

Arg! This I hate ... people who use their mirrors instead of doing a headcheck! TURN YOUR HEAD! Physically rotate that cranium on your neck, look over your shoulder! Do NOT rely on mirrors (or a feckin dashboard screen, ffs) for lane change clearance! If a person can't maintain spacial awareness of traffic using…

Seems to me your whole post kinda sums up exactly why we *won't* be seeing any of the so-called flying cars. Ever.

"Faceless turd"? Really, you're gonna be like that now? Jeez, much sand in your vagina? Am I "faceless" to you because I don't have a photo of myself in my profile? And without a face, must therefore be a piece of feces? By that logic, you are a talking car. I can't see how that makes your position any stronger.

Where do you get your cost-to-drive estimate for the Tesla? You're clearly not basing that on the cost of electricity ... a full charge is maybe 5 bucks of e-juice so that's about 2 pennies a mile. Are you factoring in asset depreciation, mechanical degradation, tire wear, stuff like that? Then to be fair you'd have…

Ummmmm ... day in and day out we see thousand of commenters post " ZOMG check out that [something desireable] I so much wanna [do something with it that you can normally do with that kind of something]" on this website ... why is it okay for CAR and DRIVE but not PERSON and SEX? It's no more childish or churlish. …

Your attitude towards Tesla makes no sense. Tesla sells to anybody who can pony up the cash, just like any other automaker. It has nothing to do with Tesla buyers being techies, it has everything to do with Tesla buyers being in the market for an upscale / luxury car. Tesla *is* a luxury car & a status symbol, not a…

That's precisely why many businesses require legal docs to be faxed and not emailed. Anybody can edit a word doc or a pdf. But changing the text of a fax is a bit more tricky.

Eleven years into free email? Only if you wrote this post about 10 years ago ... both HoTMaiL and Juno launched in 1996. And if we're not talking exclusively web based email, free email was included in just about every online service back in the early 90's as well ... CompuServ, AOL, etc. etc.

Hear, hear. I concur with your viewpoint ... I wasn't sure what that first car was exactly (I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess it's the Kia K9 referenced in the article) but every one of the other cars were immediately and easily recognized. Only a non-car person could fail to recognize the signature headlight /…
