No one needs an example. Presumably, everyone here is either completely capable of hearing and understanding what loud cheering does, or they are deaf and do not really care about your explanation. Thank you for being Captain Obvious, though. Your reward is in the mail.

The Wii U being more difficult to tamper with is not as relevant as it seems. The same could be said for Nintendo consoles of the past, like GameCube—but that example doesn’t sound as good, because it wasn’t preceded by a console suffering from piracy. Nonetheless, the point is this: the Wii was an outlier, not a…

Considering Nintendo’s official commentary on piracy (http://www.cnet.com/news/nintendo-…), and how simplistic Wii piracy is (see: homebrew), I do not believe this would stop them. It would likely be little more than a passing thought in their minds. They may have been restrictive through their implementation of…

As someone who has played “Final Fantasy XI” since its North American launch on PC, and who understood every word of it (while also understanding how completely unapproachable it would be to an outsider), I can tell you that it is a dreadfully milquetoast story. It is perhaps the most mundane and everyday experience…

There were a lot of responses, but I thought it important to address this one, as they are living on a seven-acre farm, which they tend. Considering, I don’t believe they are foolish enough to feed it junk food.

Unfortunately, it is true that they regularly purchase animals from an exotic vendor, which is…

Even if it is a disabled animal that cannot survive in the wild? I have not read enough about this particular kangaroo to know the extent of its disability, but if it would not thrive outside of captivity, I do not have a problem with this.

I’m afraid I must chime in with those who find the video perfectly all right. It wasn’t nearly as stilted as your piece led me to believe. Well, except the “Charlie bit my finger” gag—that was awful. The rest, though? Mostly innocent, occasionally smile-worthy, and generally inoffensive. I’m okay with this.

After reading your lengthy post, I understand your anger, but I cannot believe that your stance is valid—mostly due to the lack of sources. The original article did contain a few videos, at least, but your rebuttal contains no references at all. You may be passionate, but I would recommend bringing more to the table…

I was wondering if someone else was going to say this, as I’d heard nothing but “douche-ine” throughout this whole thing.

Although we already knew that the brain did not stop developing at 18 years of age, it was considered “close enough”—but we are presently aware of our being off by even greater distances. As such, 17 and 18 year-olds are not different, but similar in one important way: they are not yet fully developed. http://www.bbc.c…

Thank you! I am in California, and I know that finding a 50-state car in another state may be much tougher the farther back I go, but that does not mean I’m limiting my options. Likewise, for a daily beater, I’m fine getting something that’s exempt from smog laws (e.g., certain low- and no-emission vehicles). That,…

Augh! Why isn’t anyone mentioning the names of these good dealerships?! You’re all making me so sad. I want to know where they are! I want to buy a car from them! We’ve talked about the bad apples—why don’t we give some sales to the good ones?

Why not share the name? You have only good things to say, and even if they are Internet literate, they’ll likely never see your comment anyway. I am presently shopping for a car, and would positively love to be pointed toward such dealerships, no matter where they are in the country.

Gian and Elastigirl aren’t alone. Mickey once suffered a similar fate...

Photographs and videos, especially. We all know that something cannot happen in this world unless it is captured by one of those two methods.

Certainly, but what a waste, no? Perhaps Nintendo did make enough profit to justify producing so many one-off rides—we’ll likely never know.

I must wonder: what happened to all of these rides after the parks were closed? They’re clearly refitted classics, but these aren’t all simple repaint jobs.

Ah, but Lunar wasn’t made by SEGA! Still, I completely understand and agree with your wanting to include it! There’s quite a few I’d tack on if we were talking SEGA platforms, and not development/publishing. For example: “Snatcher” on SEGA CD, which—while it was a point-and-click and not a JRPG proper—is one of my…

To answer the tail end of your post: yes, I do try to. Names and places, and so on, so forth—whenever I am aware of the native pronunciation, I try to use it, and if I do not, I correct myself.

Likewise, when speaking another language and using English loan words, I will say the word according to the English…

If anything, hearing that you’re a linguist of some sort disgusts me further. There’s many aspects of linguistics which one could have studied, and I presume you’re implying you’ve studied historical linguistics as part of whatever you’ve done, hence the implication that this is the way things are, for they’re the way…
