I call your comment “pop calvinism.” According to pop calvinism, the trappings of power and wealth are a sign that you deserved them based on merit. Just as in calvinism wealth is a sign of election, in pop calvinism, wealth is a sign of true merit. But it’s false, it’s all false. There are a ton of undeserving idiots…

Amazing. Sometimes you don’t realize someone has a weird way of speaking until you hear the impressions—this is definitely one of those for me.

KN: [reads Doug’s joke]

There’s no middle ground with older guests. They’re either really sweet and the best customers you’ve ever had, or they’re the absolute worst.

You are a moron. Console gaming saved PC gaming, if it wasn’t for Microsoft pushing the 360 controller on PC, and all the publishers putting more and more of their console games on PC, the PC market would not be what it is today.

I mean, its the right move for sure but I’m not so sure we should be actively applauding them for it. It should have never gotten out the door in this state.

So glad I stopped pre-ordering games. Thanks Luke.

It says something I only realized that was nonsense in the last sentence.

I started reading this seriously you fucking fraud.

I read halwfway through this thinking to myself, “damn this guy knows his stuff.” The “hog-nosed bat tap” sent me over the edge. Im crying laughing.

I was about two seconds away from googling a couple of those terms...

Guarantee that Rousey double shank legs Coerria right off of a rear choke helix. If Coerria lasts through all of that, I’d be surprised if Rousey doesn’t immediately force a Janckman’s Plexus on her and shatter her buttonhook. Coerria’s only shot is a quick, accurate Miranda’s Reversal into a hog-nosed bat tap. Once…

This gave me so much joy. All the politely upset people clutching their pearls and getting their panties in a bunch. LORD SAVE US. NPR WAS THE ONE KARDASHIAN FREE HOLDOUT AND NOW THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING.

then don’t call them when you need help

Not emasculated, because I think it’s perfectly ok for for women to propose, I just didn’t want to marry her, and I admittedly handled it like a jackass.

You...didn’t see them go burn down a bunch of tents? You didn’t catch the obvious beating of that point into you when Davos knew that exactly 20 men did the burning and horse killing?

I’m not talking about the characters, I’m talking about as the reader. If I don’t have any hope that a world is anything other than horrible things happening to people, then I am no longer vested in that world. Frankly, it’s unrealistic.

As I’ve said before, this is where both the show and books have lost me. There’s no hope, which means I don’t give a single shit about any of the characters, which means I don’t care what happens and I’ll go watch/read something else.

If I were such a huge asshole that my family had to tell people that I had brain damage to explain my behavior, I’d MAYBE think about dialing it back just a bit.
