I was born in '86. I was walking home, and staying there unattended for about 2 hours, every school day from first grade on. Be home by sunset and don't burn the house down were my only strict instructions as a child.

Near constant, ruthless verbal sparring is something of a family tradition. It's why I have so many healthy, long lasting personal relationships as an adult.

My mother, who is regrettably a Trump supporter, once uttered the phrase, "What do we even need lawyers for, anyways?"

It goes like this:

Hefty refund? Are you from Michigan?

The crossovers that these brands are producing are more like tall station wagons than actual trucks. As such, many of them handle like sports cars and have performance limits that exceed both the abilities of 99% of their owners and what you can get away with using on the street.

I haven't played any Pikmin games since the first one. And while I liked it well enough, it was way too hard for me in the later levels. I could never beat it and just spent all my time gathering Pikmin, who would all die as soon as I ran into a higher level enemy.

I certainly can't afford one, either. But I work for Chrysler so I try to keep up with the various FCA brands.

Cadillac is now positioning itself in the market space that used to be occupied by BMW. They are really going after the driving enthusiast crowd. From all accounts they actually beat BMW in performance metrics while lagging behind in the refinement category.

It looks fantastic, though. I don't hate the manufacturers for going that route. Those things basically print money.

Any type of stack on a pick-up struck is an automatic qualifier for douchebag. And anything that's got a single turbo and dual stacks is extra dumb.

I've beat the ever loving shit out of my '10 Impreza since new (now at 85K), still going strong.

Ponyo borderline sucked, IMHO.

I'm a big fan of Princess Monoke. It's the only Miyazaki film that I know of that is more, I guess, adult in its themes. I also liked Spirited Away but not as much as everyone else seems to. I did also really like Howl's Moving Castle.

Does anyone around here own a Switch? Is it worth it? I really, really want to play that new Zelda game. But I really, really don't want to drop $300 just to be able to play one game. The Nintendo game catalog has never been stellar. Not since the 64 days, anyway. I also don't give a shit about it being portable. I'd…

"When Breitbart sends their people, they're not sending their best…"

There's always next time.

Both of these things are common criticisms of that model. That and they are apparently very poorly made. And not in the typical deep-rooted-electrical-gremlins way most MBs are. But in the holy-shit-look-at-this-cheap-shit way that a 5 year old Kia is.

ST?

Is it? I remember loving the Frisco burger in the 90's and the Monster burger in the early 00's (one of those would likely kill me now). But everything I've had from them since their re-emergence in my area has been a dried out, flavorless brick.
