You know what I just realized about Doctor Who? The Doctor hates pears. Pears belong to the same genetic family as the the rose. Ergo, the Doctor hates Rose.

In check in the same way that a king in a game of chess is in check when he's about to be captured, forcing him to change his position.

In this case, keeping you in check mean making sure you don't rise above acceptable levels of Amauriness, which you clearly have.

Oh my god, Amaury, does this site really need me to keep you in check?

Enough lower that the higher cost of shipping doesn't justify it and that the customers will probably stop buying. Here's the example again to refresh your memory:

And I redirect you to:

In case you can't tell, I'm not being $100% serious anymore.

Maybe whining doesn't necessarily involve boasting, but boasting can come off as extremely whiny. Eren's "boasting" generally comes off as, "I GOTTA BASH DEYS FOOKIN ED IN CAUSE DEY KILLED ME MUM AND IF I'M NOT THE HERO I'M WORTHLESS," but maybe that's just me reading too much into a work of fiction that tries to be more complex than it is. Oh look, another similarity.

What about my example with the factory and the widgets? Would it be justified for the large amount of stores who only ever bought from the factory because of the widgets to refuse to buy anything from the factory until it starts properly selling widgets again?

(By the way, political correctness only matters in politics and PR statements. It has no place in casual conversation)

Actually, she was just tired. It's like that time I went into the ladies' room because I had to use the toilet and couldn't be bothered to check the sign on the door. She wasn't standing up (erm, sitting sitting down) for her rights, she was sitting down for her knees. It was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who saw an opportunity to use that small act of courage to kick off a boycott that would help further the civil rights movement.

I more or less agree with the rest of your post.

On a side note, we're extremely lucky that MLK used his intellect for the civil rights movement and not world domination. He'd probably have been a benevolent dictator, but some people might not have been born in that alternate history and I don't knwo about you, but I really want to have been born.

What constitutes "a true issue," though?

Imagine a factory in the US that makes knickknacks, wumbos, blimbos, and widgets and sells them to stores, a large portion of which only ever orders from the factory for its widgets and may also order a few knickknacks because of a discount that comes with every order of widgets. Somewhere along the line, however, the factory decides that widgets don't exactly fit in with its other products, so it discontinues the widget so there will be more room for machines that make a new product, thingies, but assures its customers that widgets will still be made and distributed by its sister factory in China, which costs more and takes longer to ship from and doesn't have equipment that can make widgets as well as the original factory. Would it be justified for the stores who exclusively buy widgets (and sometimes discounted knicknacks) to stop buying from the factory altogether or should they continue to buy more expensive lower quality widgets (which, as you may have guessed, won't sell as well to the stores' customers) just to show that they still want more widgets to be made?

You've never dealt with a big corporation before, have you? Criticism and feedback never make it to the people who have any real power.

No it's not and I'll explain why below.

Misty is a real person who sees the people on this forum as more than just hits and ad revenue and actually has personal relationships with a lot of us. Nickelodeon is a corporation that doesn't care about its viewers as long as what it does turns a decent profit. Unless there's a significant decrease in that profit, they're not going to give a crap.

Alright, then what big things make them unique from one another? Hell, some of the more notable Titans are pretty analogous to Angels from Evangelion. Colossal serves the same function as Ramiel, Sonny and Bean represent Sandalphon, the Female Titan Whose Identity Is Obvious As Soon As She Shows Up would work as a pretty decent replacement for Bardiel in an Adeptus Evangelion campaign, the Wall Titans collectively become Lilith, the Titan Shifters make up Tabris, and obviously the Beast Titan is Adam.

In the end, you're not going to convince me because there are *a lot* of straws that I can grasp to keep myself feeling like I have a valid point. I'd go into all the similarities between Hanje and Ritsuko, Kensuke and Armin, or Arduino and Toji, but I think you get my point.

To be fair, Guardians of the Galaxy did come first and The Lego Movie is just a more hyper, kiddie, and unsure of what it is version of it. Keep in mind that I'm not saying that being a ripoff makes it bad. It's just a fact of what it is. Really, I think the lesson here is that everything's been thought of, there is no such thing as originality, and the only reason anything is considered "new" or "fresh" and another similar thing is considered a ripoff of the first is that one was made into a reality first.

In the case of Evangelion and AoT, Evangelion did it first (Well okay, Gunbuster did it first, but Eva was made by the same team so I don't really count it as a ripoff) and AoT did it in a different setting roughly fifteen years later and around the time a series of four movie sequels to Evangelion got my favorite mecha anime popular again. Maybe it's not a ripoff, but it's an extremely similar concept that wouldn't exactly be out of place as an Evangelion alternate universe spin-off manga. Come to think of it, The Eren Jaeger Raising Project should totally be a thing.

Speaking as someone who rather enjoys Attack on Titan, yes he is. The guy can't shut up for two seconds about how he's going to kill all the giant zombies. I will admit that Eren's whining is a little more justified than Shinji's*, but that doesn't change the fact that he is a whiny little brat a lot of the time.

*Really, I have no problem admitting that Eren is an overall better character than Shinji, but that's not exactly relevant here.

I may try this out. I had some some with the beta and since the Destiny beta finished up I've had a craving for another MMO experience.

Can you think of any other way to make sure they get the point that you don't support their choice of programming?

Are you seriously saying that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was just an immature little brat?

I mean, he probably was at some point (you know how kids are), but that's not the point. It takes a lot of willpower to boycott the bus when you're part of an oppressed class that, for the most part, doesn't have any other viable means of transport. It was a difficult thing to do and in the end it sent the right message. What's so immature about doing what you have to do to effect change? If there's a bomb at a party and you can't get people's attention so you can tell them to evacuate, the best way to make sure they get out is to yell until you have everyone's attention.

Disclaimer: Personally, I'd just get the hell out of there without worrying about anyone but my closest friends and maybe any kids or elderly I see on the way out. But if you're trying to evacuate people, you yell.

He knows that. He was taking your comment and turning it around on you.

Evangelion: A whiny protagonist takes control of a giant robot that is actually a giant monster with armor to defend a large armored city against giant monsters while the organization he works for and another related faction are clearly plotting something that is just as bad as what the monsters want. Along for the ride are two very attractive teenaged girls (one of whom he lives with) who help him out when just his giant robot isn't enough. Pretentious symbolism is abundant and relevant to the story while motifs involving Abrahamic mythology serve only to make it look cool.

Spoiler

Also, one really powerful monster is a big reason why the armor on the city works, but even though she's helping them it'll be really bad if they don't keep her under lock and key.

Attack on Titan: : A whiny protagonist becomes a giant monster to defend a large walled territory against giant monsters that are also zombies while the government and another related faction are clearly plotting something that is probably just as bad as what the monsters want. Along for the ride are a very attractive teenaged girl (who he used to live with) and a very pretty dude who help him out when just his giant monster form isn't enough. Later, other people who can turn into giant monsters show up. Pretentious symbolism abundant but subtle while references to Western mythology are scattered throughout.

Spoiler

Also, a bunch of really powerful monsters is what the walls are made of, which is why doing anything to reinforce the walls will do more harm than good.

TL;DR: AoT is just a Bleachier version of Evangelion with a little bit of the magical girl genre and Spider-man mixed in as well.

Next Time: Why the First Kingdom Hearts Game is Obviously a Ripoff of Super Mario 64

I'm just gonna watch it there with AdBlock+ on so they don't get the ad revenue. You can also use this link to keep them from counting your hits in the statistics that are used to determine its place on search engines.

More proof that AoT is a ripoff of Evangelion.

Maybe they should get Stephen King and George R.R. Martin to co-write the rest of the manga too! That should get the whole story finished in no time![DOUBLEPOST=1406920410][/DOUBLEPOST]

As mad as I was about the safe. Which actually wasn't very. It was mainly the principle of the thing. If you're going to leave a massive safe in the basement of a house you're about to abandon, it's only polite to at least leave a few thousand bucks or something in there. Hell, I would've been happy with a meth lab or something. But no. Just a big ass-spider that probably didn't even get there until well after it was abandoned.

I am shocked and appalled.
