Also wasn’t Cars 2 rated G? The bad cars brutally murder other cars in that movie. That shit was fucked up.

      Incorrect! Cars 2 is the most important one because it’s the only Pixar movie where the bad guy is anyone with a disability!

      I bet cars 3 doesn’t have eugenics!

        I don’t remember watching Cars 2, but did the OBD port say anything about this?

        Hopefully it doesn’t need to be said that representation is important in media and I don’t want to diminish anyone with a disability. This is just a joke.

      I didn’t mind it, but I think I would have liked it more if Lightning was more central. I think Mater is a better supporting character than lead. Or maybe I just didn’t like seeing people be mean to him for 2 hours.

        They weren’t trying to be mean, for the most part, they either didn’t get him or they underestimated him. By the end, all of that is resolved and Mater is known as the hero he always was!

          Messi is the Toy Story of soccer.

              Could you be more specific? Do you mean rugby football? Gridiron football? Gaelic football?

              Oh! Maybe you meant association football. But that’s kind of long-- maybe we can just say “asoc football” to save time.

              Actually now that I think of it, people just say “rugby” instead of “rugby football,” so maybe we can drop the “football” part as well, and just say “asoc.”

              There we go, now we have a nice, unambiguous way to refer to the style of football that we’re interested in. Now I just hope the school children don’t mess it up the way they did with rugby, calling it “rugger…”

                To be fair, pretty much anybody who’d use Messi’s name in context is gonna say “football” and never “soccer”.

                  He plays for Inter Miami in the MLS. I assure you, plenty of Messi fans use the term soccer.

                  To be even more fair, the British started calling it soccer, so the Americans called it soccer. If they want to fuck around with the English language, they’ll find out when Americans try to speak it.

                Obviously you know I was referring to association football. I’m aware of the etymology of soccer and ruggers, but thank you for your insightful comment. It genuinely was a nice read. While etymology is interesting. It doesn’t dictate the current usage of language.

                On the topic, I used to play Aussie Rules (Australian Football).

                  It’s pretty annoying when some rando on the internet pretends not to understand what you were referring to, isn’t it?

                  Thank you! There are two wolves in my heart: One favors being snobby toward the way Americans say things. The other favors being pedantic about term specificity.

                  “Soccer” causes these wolves to fight.

                If one of those types of football was by far the most popular sport in the world we might just call it “football” without any qualifier.

      Lemon cars have either shit reliability to the extreme or cars with a glaring insane flaw such as the infamous Ford pinto that would explode into flames if it got rear ended.

      Good example is the 2016-2021 Honda Civic! Tons of electrical issues, and refrigerant that is incompatible with the ac condenser, so you sink thousands into your AC for it to stop working after a couple of months.

        i had a CR-V which had a really great electrical issue where it would drain the battery if you didn’t start it every day. The dealer suggested that i should have somebody go to the airport and start the car for me every day while i was working out of town 0_o

      This may or may not be an official definition, but in my retail experience a lemon anything is something that has been returned as defective three or more times.

      I have no idea the formal definition but locally around me it refers to a car that has been sold for far too much due to the near guaranteed chance it will break down within the next dozen drives.

      Bonus points if its a brand new car.
