If speed racer is anime, then transformers is anime. I say this as someone who has never watched an episode of the show, but what little I've seen makes me think it's low budget and made in Japan.

Yes, I've had that friendly argument with a fellow film nerd and I still insist that she's incorrect. Tri-X 4 lyfe.

Yes, this is why I went head to head with one of my oldest friends in laughter:

Metal is children's music. I even like some metal, but it's to music what anime is to cinema.

It all sounds the same. If you put on any given metal song and tell me it's Sabaton I won't just totally believe you, I'd need serious convincing it's not

PUT THIS WANKSTAIN ON IGNORE

According to him, it doesn’t qualify as a sandwich because a sandwich needs at least one substantial piece of food. He doesn’t see cheese as this because he views cheese as only a topping, comparing it to mustard and ketchup in that you only put cheese on other food. Since it’s only cheese, it’s two naked pieces of bread with a topping in between, and says this is as much of a sandwich as a burger bun with only ketchup is a ‘burger’.

This argument happened at the work cafe btw, and we asked the chef to chime in. The chef verbatim said “it’s called, a grilled cheese SANDWICH!” But he still refused to concede.

His points would be valid if you didn’t consider 2 naked pieces of bread pressed together to be a sandwich.

Which it is.

there are basically two freeway exits we can take to get home, a 1 minute difference between the two. my GF and i disagree on which is superior - i take the exit which takes one minute longer in order to get off the freeway sooner

sucks to be right
I arranged to meet someone at a train station today and we had to pick which side of the station we were going to meet up on. I suggested the north side and they went "You mean the west side, right????" I was pretty sure the tracks ran east-west and they were pretty sure they ran north-south, but in the end we agreed to just turn up and find each other.

Afterwards I checked the layout of the tracks on google maps and it turns out they actually run southwest-northeast so neither of us was completely right or wrong.

im left handed and I can’t imagine using a mouse with the left hand — it physically pains me to consider it. like, how could you gently caress up being left-handed that much? Do these people try to shift their (american) cars with their left hand too???

I'm right-handed and I use a mouse with my left hand. Someone told me that they did it so that they could keep their right hand free for writing so I tried doing that, but doing anything with my right hand while using a mouse with my left feels completely unnatural & makes me feel like a cartoon octopus or something.

I'm a righty and hold the knife in my right and fork in the left while proceeding drop food 20 times because I can't use my left hand. If I try to cut with the left it would look equally ridiculous and sad.

Distinguishing what is and isn't anime is stupid and western, it's literally just a shorthand Japanese term on the english word "animation". Nothing more, nothing less. drat weebs.

Phineas and Ferb is anime, there I said it.
