Exactly. That specific toy wasn't designed for little kids, but rather for adult collectors. It might come as a shock to the author, but Lego doesn't just create toys for children.

I'd argue that this was not created for children, but for a very specific niche category of nerd in the cross-section of Lego fanatics and Star Wars fanatics.

Your last line reminded me of this:

What I don't get - and I mean, I GENUINELY don't get this - is the obsession with asking where everyone is from. I see this as private information. If you want to tell me where you are from, by all means, but really, to be asked this again and again because you look "different" to someone else is really bizarre to me.

Well of course you thought you were really mature! You were 17. Every single 17 year old girl thinks she's the most mature person in the world. But most 17 year olds have no actual real life experiences to back up their claims of "maturity". Mirroring the likes and behaviors of older women a mature teenager does not…

She is so beautiful but I almost didn't recognize her and I'm a big Glee fan. Lip color is not working.

I'm actually digging her whole look here. I like the very angular shoulders with the square buttons. The whole thing comes off as intentionally boxy in what I think is a really fun way!

I find I do this a lot when I write informally. I notice it and I realize it is an odd affect, but when I delete it from a sentence it doesn't feel right anymore so I put it back.

Huh? Uptalk is old as hell. Every manager trying to be young and hip in every crappy corporate job I worked in the mid-2000s used to do that "invisible question mark" shit.

How can any parent's ego be that tied up...

Excuse me? A mother can't handle her children laughing at her antics? EVERY child will think their parents are laughable, so get a grip on your self-esteem, "Tied Up"
This woman needs to buck up if she's serious as it's only going to get worse the older they get.

There's a store in NYC's Chinatown with window mannequins endowed with the biggest damn...tracts of land...that I've ever seen. If they were real women, they'd need some sort of wheeled cart to push in front of them in order to stand upright. They look like they're one nuclear code away from raining pert missiles of…

To be fair, she does GoDaddy commercials. That's like a long-running joke, AMIRITE??

I don't think she's ever had a good season. If she wasn't a good looking woman who appears in the most random commercials then she would be out of a job.

No, it's really fucking easy to tell.

No no, you are very much ignoring the 'racial component' and that it is very different and much more prominent than perhaps a concern for rape or other violence. I don't think it's fair or right to say, 'yes, me too, I am also afraid of my car breaking down somewhere' without considering that as a white woman, you are…

I can't even. Just, no. That woman was murdered, pure and simple.

Exactly! If you don't know what a random person knocking on your door wants but you don't want to answer because you're scared, even if you're a racist scumbag, just DON'T ANSWER. What the fuck. So angry.

JFC, what is wrong with people? Why does it occur to anyone to shoot someone knocking at their door???
