    People seem very concerned about him firing execs, but that seems like the most normal part? Isn't it pretty common to clean house at the top after acquiring?

    They could have said no, they could have sent someone else, the mod could have had a shower and a haircut before. This is an embarrassing fuck up

    What manipulation? It was basically a softball interview, the interviewer just let the mod talk. They embarrassed themselves.

    How about we place the blame where it belongs, on the manipulator, Fox news?

    Absolutely legendary show, and several of the voice actors ended up being huge.

    I've always found anime movies to be better than tv, with some exceptions. The problem with most anime tv, is that there is always far far too much filler, with whole episodes devoted to a gimmick...

    I've always found anime movies to be better than tv, with some exceptions. The problem with most anime tv, is that there is always far far too much filler, with whole episodes devoted to a gimmick (the notorious beach episode for example), while movies don't have the luxury. A recent exception was Bunny Girl Senpai, which was just incredible despite its terrible name.

    As someone else said, full Metal alchemist Brotherhood is the ideal start for an action anime. For other genres, try the following: http://imgur.com/a/l9A1Z

    Its extremely annoying to try to remember which songs you liked, which means I end up listening to whole albums or EP's, which may have been the point

    Ok so I'm just being an idiot, the rolling function can do addition and subtraction, but not the others, so infix worked for those, while multiplication and division only work for post fix

    Ah I see, I misunderstood. A simple line.replace(" ", "") would fix that no? edit: indeed it does Edit 2: multiplication and division don't work, inputs of "2d1 * 2 1 1 2" and "3d5 / 5 4 5 1 10"...

    edit: indeed it does

    Edit 2: multiplication and division don't work, inputs of
    "2d1 * 2
    1 1
    2" and "3d5 / 5
    4 5 1
    10" are wrong

    Ok this is bothering me.
    elif token in operators:
    b, a = stack.pop(-1), stack.pop(-1)
    stack.append(operators[token](a, b))
    print(stack)
    never executes

    OK for operators only entries of the form 3d6 12 * are accepted, but if its + or - , 3d6+12 works fine, I assume cuz the other function works with them

    The input "4d6 + 12" throws an error, as does any addition attempt
