They stated that their show, about survivalism, is about "traditionally masculine skills"

Quote:

It that the show posits the skills of survivalism as inherently masculine, male skills - that knowing how to find shelter and build a fire is a men's thing specifically.

I was trying to think back to what my earliest internet experience could have possibly been ... and I think it might have been Neopets. I don't think I got online until I was at least 9 or 10 and it was probably specifically because I wanted to get in on all the sweet sweet virtual pet action that my friends were…

My cat never jumps on the countertops ... when I'm at home. He's the perfect model of a well behaved feline. But there are days that I get home from work and find an immaculate set of dusty little paw prints criss-crossing my freshly cleaned glass stove top.

That's taking a quality that should be admirable and taking it way past the other side into unreasonable. I don't like being in debt to my friends, but I seriously don't sweat it if a few bucks go one way or the other. One of the great conveniences of friendship for me is grabbing your friend a coffee or a beer…

This makes sense. I'm sure that there are lots of people who are unhappy in their jobs and their employers know it, but who otherwise are still performing at an acceptable level. It would be pretty unreasonable to fire someone just because they are unhappy, but you'd realistically want a person in the position who is…

I got my dad one of the Larva for his birthday. It is pretty tiny, but it is actually really kind of cute. These things make great conversation starters

Okay, okay, so I recently figured out that Americans don't have Smarties (The chocolate kind). But don't tell me you don't get Coffee Crisp either.

I've got my heart set on Margaery really. Because she is a sneaky, sneaky lady who just HAS to be up to something. :)

I haven't read the books, and I try to avoid spoilers like the plauge, but the moment that Oleanna Tyrell said " Killing a man at a wedding is such bad taste" I knew, KNEW Joffrey was a dead man walking.

I've read this like four times, and I'm pretty sure you are correct on this one. Shit they even find a plausible way to explain what the hell a penwiper is :)

Yo, if you need a whole paragraph to explain why the characters couldn't use this really easy solution, it's probably a handwave.

I once went to a breakfast meeting where I heard this guy do a talk on procrastination - and it was good. But there was something extra special about asking my boss if it was alright for me to come in late for work so that I could go listen to a talk on procrastination :D

Idea channel has something interesting to to say about this:

I... am not against this actually.

I love how I've seen this suggested like six times as I've scrolled through the list, but every time, just as a bare statement. It's like all the super fans just KNOW that this requires absolutely no justification. We can just see it.

I like my job, and I get satisfaction out of it. I have a good workplace and good co-workers, and if you gave me a choice of other work at the same pay I'd probably choose to keep doing this. If someone told me I could have a 30 hour work week and still be considered full time employed, I would jump for joy. Why?…

Ah the great lie of capitalism, that work can magically be transformed into not work if you enjoy it enough. The greatest phrase any employer ever heard is " I don't get paid much, but I love my work, so it's alright"
