Feels like this is the stop-gap between now and the 2035 emissions requirements that a large portion of the word is adopting. 

Admittedly, the Prettiest Prius ever is a very low bar, but yeah, I actually dig the looks of this thing.

The only people that would buy this would be actual museums. But they wouldn’t, because it’s got way too much usage, and isn’t actually museum quality. Props to the owner for the meticulous care, but that doesn’t translate into selling it for half what it went for new.

This shit is such an apt metaphor for current day tech companies. Take two perfectly functional things (fucking GLASSES AND BOTTLES NO LESS), make them substantially less functional but they require you to use some nonsense other thing that only works with these glasses and bottles so that customers have to rebuy…

Well I hope he’s ok.

You mean Guillermo Del Toro’s one theoretical Hobbit film. The one that exists in another timeline where it was actually good instead of what we got. With a new cast a slightly more whimsical take. Nope, gottta have another Jackson trilogy. 

Exactly this! Japan was considered and by many Korean people still is considered to be the Nazis of Asia bug some of these weebwashed people around have such a glamorized and fake view of Japan, this realization could never start to pierce their thought process in even the slightest

Calling out prejudice isn’t imposing culture. Its calling out prejudice. And if said prejudice is enshrined in a culture, wrll tough titties its still prejudice

Yeah this falls into this weird trope where Japan is both somehow above all of this western nonsense and also “too stupid” to know any better and even if they weren’t, it is certainly not their fault dichotomy.

Race and racism certainly exist in Japan, but they don’t discuss it in the same way that Americans do. It’s a different context - literally different people with different history (although that history also, I want to stress, contains a LOT of racism). The reason why creating an ethnically homogenous setting seems…

Apartheid emerald mine and buying up companies he didn’t create.

He slithered his way out of various tubes attached to colonization beneficiaries.

How did this moron ever become a billionaire? lol!

Yeah this was a dumb attempt to unfuck his unforced fuck-up with charging for blue checks as a status symbol—that thing that originally did what this was supposed to do but in a less dumb and chaotic way.

Japanese games also seem to be held to a lower standard in terms of design. I finally gave into all the praise, and played Yakuza 0 back in February... and found the game game to just be a Shenmue clone. It plays like something from 20 years ago! This is also my experience every time I dip my toe back into JRPGs —…

Oh, this is going to get so many weirdos going off on one about how because Japan does something distasteful in something they are selling to a global audience we can’t criticise it (even though they will criticise the “forced diversity” of titles developed across the world).

We need to hold ALL video games to a higher standard. There is a higher percentage of boring time wasting garbage than their ever has been before.

$56B seems justifiable. Austin has become quite pricy since he moved there, at $56B he can live a comfortable, upper middle class life, which is really the least you could expect for someone like him. 

The whole movie has a wonderfully goofy tone and Hugo Weaving singlehandedly works his ass off to help make that a fun movie. Plus it gave us Peggy! The ridiculously fun goofy tone encases that entite film and makes it criminally underrated.

Yes. Much, much better than Infinity War. The second half, yes, has a bunch of relatively generic action. But:
