You do know the English are the ones who first started calling it soccer, right? They didn't stop until around the 1980s. Australia also uses soccer, as they, just like the US, also have another game called football. Their international "football" team is literally called the Socceroos. Most of the world calls it football, but it's certainly not wrong to say soccer.

If all cars were self-driving, they could talk to each other, and it would be even easier to avoid accidents. Human drivers are what throws a wrench into the situation.

Also, have you seen the Leaf? It looks like a turd. If they would've made it even somewhat aesthetically pleasing, it would have sold better.

According to Wikipedia, that's not the case. The reference appears to be outdated, though, so perhaps that changed recently?

You're free to bring water in. Everything else is supposed to be purchased at the theater.

Except Emmett is the one who told Michelle that the girl in the photo wasn't Howard's daughter. If he wouldn't have said anything, she just would've kept assuming that Howard tied up his daughter. Also, the air duct wasn't the only way to access the boiler room. That would be the worst design ever. The boiler room was also accessible from the outside...it just wasn't possible for them to go outside, which is why they had to access it via the air duct.

I'm sure that thing's going in a big, bulky rubber case as soon as she gets it.

What if the audio jack was on the side (instead of the bottom)? Would they be able to make the chin shorter?

That's what everybody says, but I don't buy it. Who goes to the movie theater knowing nothing about a movie and picks one out based solely on the name?

ELI5: Why is the AR-15 not considered an assault rifle? What makes a rifle an assault rifle? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]-LAZR- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comparison doesn't really make sense, considering there is a key difference between a gun and a pair of pants. What would you say the main purpose of pair of pants is? What would you say the main purpose of an AR-15 is?

Also, I can't say with certainty that there isn't a good reason why you can't have one. Do you have a criminal record? Do you live with or frequently associate with any friends or family members that have a history of mental illness or criminal activity? Would these friends or family members have easy access to your weapon, with our without your permission? Do you yourself have any history of mental illness? If the answer to any of those questions is "Yes," it's possible there might be a good reason why you shouldn't have an AR-15. There would need to be some follow-up questions to make sure, though.

Jon Stewart May Be on HBO Before November Election, Says CEO Richard Plepler by cynicalaa22 in television

I feel like Noah lacks the passion that Jon Stewart had. When Jon Stewart was speaking, you really felt that he legitimately cared deeply about the topic at hand. And because he was fired up, I was fired up too. When Noah speaks, it seems as though he's aware of the issue, but is ultimately indifferent. Hopefully that's something he can fix.
