I think it’s also worth noting that the only people to complain about “whitewashing” in GitS were Americans. The Japanese audience had pretty much no issue with the casting of ScarJo, and in general rather enjoyed the movie (at least, more so than the American audience). So if the people so many Americans are…

Just sue them! Take ALL their money! Just sue them if they even LOOK at ya funny!

Wild turkeys can fly, although it is unclear if he actually tossed wild turkeys

And that’s why you should read the EULA! The fact is, anyone who spent money on it decided to on their own. Welcome to real life, where you don’t get a free pass any time you make a mistake. There’s a lesson to be learned here, so just learn the lesson and move on.

That’s my dad’s line every time I misplace something.

I’d argue that video games are not power fantasies. Well, they can be, but that’s not all they’re meant to be. They’re meant to be, first and foremost, entertainment. And shooters have a lot of fun and engaging game mechanics. You could just as well ask why slice-of-life anime (like K-ON, Realize, and such) have such…

Bit of a late entry, if I may, and this specific car never tried anything odd, but my dad’s old Dodge Intrepid, some 90s model, had the airbag sensors encased in a plastic housing. I’m not certain if there are horror stories about these cars out there, but he was always afraid that if he ever hit anything, the sensors…

I wish I had a picture, but I remember when I was but a wee child and my brother and I spotted a Corvette with the plate “HAPPY”. That was the day my brother swore he would someday own a Lamborghini and get the plate “HAPPIER”

High internal compression stress is good, it strengthens the glass and prevents crack and dislocation movement. What they really need is a greater tolerance for surface damage and flaws, and maybe a manufacturing process that produces them already curved as they need to be

For the record, pepper spray is more potent than mace, which may be helpful against certain... insistent individuals. Of course, screwdrivers can be pretty damn potent, too. But if your state allows pepper spray, it could be a worthwhile investment

This one’s not so much creepy as really confusing and startling. My dad was driving me home from school, which involved a few miles on the interstate running through the city. We came up behind a woman driving a minivan, going about 5 under, and doing a terrible job of starting in her lane. Since we were less than a…

Or maybe, just MAYBE, this means that there’s someone out there who isn’t so filled with a stupid, senseless rage that he can still see Milo as human. Maybe it means Milo’s not as insufferable as you seem intent on believing he is. And maybe it means everyone on this hate mongering campaign against Milo is no better…

Observation 1: Rick & Morty brought some female writers on board for season 3.

More like Maya and the Birds and the Bees. But seriously, I doubt any kid who’s watched this has had the dick “burned onto their retinas”. Most kids of that age probably didn’t ever notice it, and those that did probably had no clue what it was, much less care enough to remember it. Dick move on the part of some…

This looks so fun! Oddly, though, I’m seeing a lot of “looks like the next SuperHot!” I remember playing that when it was but an itty bitty browser game, and Echo, frankly, looks vastly more impressive

KooThat’s literally what learning is: you don’t know how to do something, you observe someone doing it, you emulate their actions, and Bam! You’ve learned! Sure, copying the player isn’t quite as “human” as learning integration and trigonometric substitution and then being able to solve complex trigonometric…

Tons of open tabs don’t really eat RAM. Browsers are remarkably good at not hogging RAM and allocating it usefully. I rarely exceed a dozen tabs, and even then it’s usually for reading several short bits on one topic that I get to immediately. But even when I have three tabs open, Chrome likes to use as much RAM as is…

Woot for being a non-fundamentalist Christian, I guess.

Wait, first you said “ALL mufflers restrict flow”, then that there are some that don’t. Which is it?

How is dressing in sweats on any way “rude”? I can understand the disgust if someone wears obviously unwashed clothes that reek of sweat and a week of wear, but why should I give a shit how you think I look? What investment do you have in whether I’m in a stiff suit or my soft and comfortable lounge pants and hoodie?…
