Glorified bus driver same as pilots

You are ignorant to think of pilots as nothing more than bus drivers. Flying a plane is a bit more complex than driving a bus.

Posted in: Abe explains choice of Reiwa for next era name See in context

I am not happy with it. I’ve never liked the syllable ‘rei’ No matter the meaning associated with it has always sounded harsh. My wife actually wanted to give our “oldest” daughter the middle name of ‘rei’, but I was able to persuade her otherwise. Reading this name I wonder if the ascending monarch had any input which choice.

The hypocrisy of the Koreans is astounding. Bin Hoa, Ha My, and of course the Lai Dai Han.

I am happy to see how dignifies he was in announcing his retirement. At the press conference you could tell he was emotional about his career, but he held it together. Seems like so long ago (and it is) that he was in an Prix uniform.

Posted in: American man arrested over murder of wife at Tokyo Family Court See in context

I see a few commenters on here saying words to the effect of “if he could do this he was obviously unfit to be with her, and that she was right to remove the child“. You are obviously people that are not aware of what it is like for fathers going through divorce, especially foreign fathers, in Japan. I am not making excuses for what he did, but I can understand his motivation. Desperate times can drive people to do desperate things. It can cause them to not be in control their emotions. Maybe he was “mentally unstable“ as the deceased said he was.

Posted in: In success for 'Captain Marvel,' a defeat for trolls See in context

who saw it coming how Fury really lost his eye!

I'm not quite sure how to feel about that. It's kind of lame, but then again I like the expectation subversion.

The de-aging effects keep getting better and better. Russel, Douglas, Pfeiffer, and now Jackson. Absolutely remarkable.

The score was forgettable. As for the 90s pop song they used for the final fight . . .unimaginative.

Posted in: In success for 'Captain Marvel,' a defeat for trolls See in context

I saw this last Saturday, and while I did not hate the movie (parts of it were tremendous fun) I did not love it. This movie ranks with Black Panther in that I liked it when I saw it, but I cannot see myself watching it again (unless it's on BluRay in preparation for Endgame). Captain Marvel is directed by two people, and the movie feels like it. Some might point out the three MCU movies directed by the Russo brothers, but being brothers they are likely on the same wavelength most of the time.

I did not really feel a "feminist agenda" (whatever that may be). They simply portray Danvers as a strong person, not so much a strong woman. As for people going to see this, even the evil white males comic fans, I suspect many of them went hoping for some clue as to what might happen in Endgame.

Posted in: How a vintage film format brought 'Apollo 11' back to life See in context

And the whole Stanley Kubrick association?

There was none. It was impossible to fake the landings back then given the film technology of the day.

Even our Jaxa (Japanese equivalent of Nasa) would not plan for a manned moon mission, why? Russians also till now have not set foot on the moon, so it is nothing about Nasa per se, but other nations have dared not tried, yet there money and technology is a different story today than in the 60s.

In 1969 a single Saturn V cost $325 million. That would be about $2.5 billion today. In 1973 NASA reported to Congress that the entire Apollo program cost $25.4 billion. That is about $175 billion today

the questions on youtube about why the landing pads are very clean and no debris or anything? did Buzz have a vaccum cleanr or a broom to sweep it away? that part confuses me and as I stated I do believe it did happen, but those dang conspiracy theorists makes you think about those details a tad bit.

They conspiracy types do indeed raise questions. However those questions are easily answered. As for the landing area being clean remember that there is no atmosphere on the moon. Dust will not be blown around in the wind.

Accusing people of being a 'conspiracy theorist' is a cheap way of shutting down any form of questioning or debate while pretending to have all the answers. The posters above are right to ask the questions about this. It's called critical thinking.

Critical thinking would not dismiss the readily available answers to all the CTs questions. Critical thinkers would not instantly dismiss said answers. A cheap way of shutting down someone's argument is to call them a sheep.

I like how the press was separated from Ghosn. Usually when a famous person is released from detention they appear in front of the press to make their Humiliating Public Apology; "I am sorry for causing trouble." They could not have Carlos speak.

Every sensible on here knows that. Apparently there are some that believe Ghosn committed a serious crime, and that he is a flight risk, and that he will attempt to bribe his way to innocence.

Ghosn being locked up in his cell is the only one guarantee he will not leave the country, plain and simple.

Incorrect. Ghosn being locked up in his cell indefinitely increases the chance for the prosecution to get a confession. That is the only tool they have in the box.

guards checking on you every 10min

Someone has to yell at him to sit up straight in the middle of his cell.

This movie is barely above the halfway point in the MCU. There are several MCU that are way better than Black Panther; Ragnarok, Spider Man: Homecoming, and the best of the MCU - Winter Soldier. BP was mediocre at best.

Wakanohana, even when faced with make-koshi, still competed. Granted, he was just as terrible a Yokozuna as Kisenosato presently is, but he at least faced his shame head on.

Posted in: Ohtani wins AL Rookie of the Year; Acuna wins NL honor See in context

Otani is great, no doubt, but rookie of the year? Whilst his play was the best of first year MLB in the American League I would hardly call him a rookie. The man had years of development and experience in NPB. It's the same crap as when Nomo won it over Chipper Jones. Of course Japan media will be all over this. In doing so they are admitting to NPB being a minor league.
