I will give credit where it is due: Not actively making things worse is, on this issue, a major improvement over the last pope.

It’s a lot harder to foster superhero/heroine interest for girls when all the really prominent mainstream heroes are dudes, and the shows are marketed towards boys. Girls know they’re not “supposed” to like stuff thats for boys. Some girls and boys will make fun of the girls that show interest in boy things. Little…

*snerk* I wonder how many people will get the joke.

From what I understand it would, but if it was as pure as he says, it would be yellow, not blue.

How come no one is making Frozen references?

We have a winner!

I disagree with your assessment of Sansa’s rape; mostly because until the next episode, I’m holding out that the point is to prove she’s stronger than rape, even by the likes of Ramsay Bolton. But that’s beside the point, because I agree with your general sentiment.

Well...to be honest, my idea of being classy is squirreling away hors d’oeuvres in my inner jacket pocket, instead of my front pants pocket, and remembering to wrap them in a napkin first.

Point made. They’re really unpleasant though, but permanent damage > kinda uncomfortable.

I was just walking the dog, and thinking that we should make an effort to bring back male high heels in the name of gender equality. In fact, let’s bring back ALL pirate fashions. Longcoats, feathered tricorns, puffy silk sleeves, etc. Let’s make men dress as flamboyantly as women are expected to. I’m a man—-and a…

That doesn’t necessarily mean you literally need to be wearing a black tie. I’ve seen photos of several men without ties, but yes, I stand corrected on that one. However, clip-ons are ubiquitous at tux rentals. Granted, most celebs probably own their own, but not all people on the red carpet are celebrities

I really think that would undermine Sansa’s character arc. As cathartic as it would be, she should never be the one to actually kill (at least by direct violence), nor should she be rescued by a masculine woman (like Arya) or someone who she didn’t motivate towards her rescue in some way. Brienne would be both, so the…

A fair comparison in my opinion would be a necktie only policy. Those things feel like a fucking noose to me. I get a sort of animal panic when I’m in one, so tjank God for clipons.....and the fact that necktie only policies are almost nonexistent, and when they do exist they’re more selectively enforced than busted…

An actual fair comparison would be if they enforce a necktie only policy for men. As someone who can’t even stand a tight watch band or a ring that won’t slide off, afeelsa necktie feels like a noose to me. So, I am grateful no one fucking does that anymore, which means that yes, this policy is stupid and sexist

Could we see a Rambo progression?

I really don’t like people going “poor Sansa!” over this. She...god, there is no way to say it without sounding awful, so let me just skip ahead.

Yeah, when I was an E4 living in the barracks, I literally had more money than I knew what to do with. I wound up getting tons of miniatures, Magic cards, etc.

Some people probably (mistakenly) think they’ll hear the fake name easier. Unless you use one consistently like Spider-man elsewhere in this thread, it’s easy to forget. I’ve gotten dirtylooks for using my own real last name since Fishburne isn’t very common, and you’d be amazed how many things sound like Robert when…
