I'm not implying it would be all about inter-personal conflicts with a mixed cast, but that it could be a big enough theme to distract from the whole premise of the show which would be showcasing survivalist strategies first and foremost.

Does anyone think that it was less of "The show positions survival skills as some inherently (and exclusively) masculine concern, which assumes it's somehow unnatural for women to be competent and capable when dropped into the wilderness" and more "if we put six men and six woman on an abandoned island with none of…

If anyone is interested Io9 pointed out GRRM responded to the enormous response he got on his Not A Blog:

The second ethnicity listed is Aleut/Eskimo, yet they didn't include Alaska on the map. Awesome.

Another common problem of standing is the anterior pelvic tilt. It is especially common in women. It can cause back pain a lot of the time. (This was me a few years ago).

The Perks of Being A Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky

It was banned in 2011 for being "anti-family" which is funnier in my opinion. Using the system of putting her name in the 'lottery' more times to make sure her mother and sister were clothed and fed and volunteering for a life threatening 'game' to save your little sister's life is TOTALLY anti-family.

You are asking all the right questions. As far as Tyrell-Lannister game, both sides still need that alliance. I don't think we will see them going head-to-head just yet.

This one was my favorite...

"Back in my day" as in FIVE years ago I'm pretty sure that's all I spent also. I did my own hair, nails, and makeup up too dammit.

Is it okay to de-spoiler someone? I have a friend who watches GoT, but has not read the books. He said someone posted a fanart on Facebook of a character dying and he was sad because he really liked that character and the plotlines around him are now coming into play this season in a big way and seeing his death was a…

Yes. Google just informed me that it isn't common at all apparently. Guess I'm a product of where I live in what I think is normal.

No, I just don't think you know what I'm referring to. There is a different type of Honey all together that you can get that doesn't come from beehives, but from the clovers directly. I make my own on occasion in the autumn (similar to the recipe here), but you can get them in some supermarkets as well. I have a Vegan…

Eh, Yes there is honey made from bees who only pollinate clover flowers called clover honey, but I'm referring to a different type of Honey all together that you can get that doesn't come from beehives, but from the clovers directly. I make my own on occasion in the autumn (similar to the recipe here), but you can get…

What about clover honey? (Honey that is made from clover blossoms, water, and sugar, not from bee hives.) This is the type I usually get, and I definitely pay attention to the sugar content, but are they going to limit the sugar content in clover honey as well?

In all fairness, in the books they were more of a mix of races. Many slaves were blond hair blue eyed (especially in Lys) and some had darker features, and some were multi-racial and an odd mix of features. They couldn't do that in the show because of budgeting apparently. (Filming on location where the extras were…

You know who else doesn't speak for the Native American people? You.

Six weeks is the standard amount of time covered for pregnancy by short term disability. Some plans allow more time if you've had complications or a cesarean delivery, and many also cover bedrest before birth. I suggest you check your state laws and/or employee benefits, as I said they can vary, but yes maternity…

They don't have to pay, but most that qualify for FMLA also qualify for Short-Term disability benefits. Also, you can also add up vacation and/or sick days to extend the FMLA leave.

But the companies in question do have to currently and I think the person you originally commented to alleged this would be the next challenge they make based on "religious beliefs" and thus it could trigger a huge landslide against women's rights, not just be a single setback.
