Nobody ever talks about Hayao Miyazki’s first directorial work... a few episodes of TV shows and children’s programming. Not exactly “Spirited Away” caliber material yet. He grew into it; he wasn’t born into it.

When the train ride is over, the crew applaud and congratulate you for reasons you will never understand.

This is stylish as fuck. I mean, the holy anime gospel that no one dare invoke by comparison, Cowboy Bebop, came immediately to mind. I’m so on board for this.

Ain’t you the great big white man that you are.....How do you feel if the English suddenly ask the fuckin’ Americans to speak proper english for a change first?

1. Taking off your shoes indoors is not ridiculous. It’s like washing your hands after going to the toilet. If I ever see you leave the toilet without washing your hands, I certainly wouldn’t want to shake your hands, rude or not.

Sure, as soon as English speakers stop pronouncing ゴジラ as Godzilla, 東京 as Toh-kee-oh, and 札幌 as if there is an English “r” in it.

One should only hope a massive counter-suit is pending for the similarities between Pixels and Pixels.

Or the more I watch it, the more I love its weird meditative tone, the half-electronic score, and the fable-like quality of the storytelling. I feel like anyone could make a case for “holes” in any of these stories, and the real differences in ranking are purely down to aesthetics and personal relation. Nausicaa is…

Nausicaa always and forever

You missed German Sekt. Often made from Riesling grapes.

That frame rate, that screen tearing, those out of date graphics. So wow.

Why: I haven’t really used any other once I started using this. It’s reliable, fast, has built in virus protection and gives me all the bells and whistles I need. It has a tiny footprint and doesn’t eat a ton of memory so overall, it’s the best of the bunch for me. Others I tried lagged, used too much…

Just because things are confusing doesn’t mean they’re useless; after all, English is a very, very confusing language filled with words that have multiple and sometimes opposite meanings. Context is what helps clear up the confusion and I can bet that teens know what they’re talking about to each other.

The “literally” issue still makes me cranky. I’m willing to give Tom Sawyer’s misused “literally” a pass because almost everything else in that book is awesome.

Man, he’s gonna be pissed when someone reads this article to him.

Anastasia refers to her ass as her "behind," her vagina as her "sex." Her juvenile exclamations of "Jeez!" and "Oh, my!" and "Hmmm" are interspersed with the least specific descriptions of Christian Grey—the guy who threatens to beat her up for mouthing off or misbehaving—as the hottest man in the history of…

This is exactly right.

As another commenter mentioned, notifications. A mobile website (very thankfully) can't invade your notification shade, but the app can. There's also the fact that Facebook links into Android's account systems, so if you use Facebook to log in to anything (which I occasionally do), then it's a two-tap affair. Rather…

There are reasons for those of course. I mean, Facebook will send you confirmation codes via text (thus "read your SMS messages), you can call your contacts/friends (thus, read your call log and directly call numbers), being able to record a movie/audio to upload (thus, recording audio).

Not saying there's not privacy…
