well if your only standard for enjoying a thing is that that thing must be continually surprising while also being real, then i can see why you are such a frustrated viewer; few shows go for the “must be surprising every single week” motif, and of those even fewer do so in non-campy ways, and fewer still are good.…

okay, that i wholeheartedly agree with; it was definitely *way* too easy for Ramsay to destroy literally the most important asset to Stannis’ army, especially when Stannis was supposed to be a tactical genius. and i also agree that Ramsay’s death will be almost an emotional letdown where he’ll get off “too easy,”…

well, remember, the lannister second cousins were of literally no threat to the karstarks when the karstarks killed them in captivity. the karstarks do not seem to think in terms of actual threats; they think only in terms of revenge upon family lines when their family is killed.

sorry, i don’t mean to pick on you by constantly disagreeing with you, i just find all of your viewpoints interesting and debatable :) regardless, i actually like ramsay’s victories. it’s not like he’s winning by strategery like stannis almost did, or by strategery and inspiration like robb stark once did; i agree, it…

the freys *do* have a large army, or at least one as big as the starks; robb stark only went to them for the red wedding because their army was the only large army left, and it could specifically replace the karstarks is his then-battle against the lannisters. to me, an army that could replace the karstarks against…

you say it below, but i think the only motivation of the karstarks is hatred of the starks. that is it. remember how nuts they went at the lannisters at some of the karstark sons dying in battle? killing lesser second cousins of the lannisters? well the starks killed the *head* of the karstarks as a traitor in cold…

you are taking this the complete wrong way. do you honestly think that being completely truthful at all times with everyone in the media is good for him and the dolphins? should he answer media questions honestly when they ask him how they construct game plans are, how team injuries are healing, or whether or not he…

the evidence *might* say that, but i want to know how much the evidence controls for recommendations or personal connections. an insane amount of hires don’t go to (or even search for) the “best” candidate, but instead go to the candidate who already knew his future boss or was recommended by a colleague, and the rest…

well kinda, but i want to know how much the study controlled for recommendations or personal connections. an insane amount of jobs are acquired purely because the one who got the job already knew his future boss or was recommended by a colleague, and the rest of the process was kind of a formality.

to say nothing at all of your actual point, i find your use of the word best upsetting, being as the word “best” inherently means singular. there literally cannot be numerous “best” options, linguistically. i wish you had said there are numerous “ideal” or “perfect” choices.

well, how many non-JJ Watt people in Houston have 1.84 million followers and stand to make hundreds of thousands of advertising/marketing dollars if they have avid fans? any smart athlete will regularly tweet stuff out to maintain the interest of the proletariat. the article makes it sound like Watt is tweeting about…

this is silly. the mayor told public employees to stay home. watt is not a public employee, so watt did not stay home.

haha, he said that he found it fascinating. so your argument is that you somehow know that he did *not* find it fascinating? i.... don’t even know how to respond to that. congrats?

why the heck is everyone jumping on this guy simply because he very politely finds it fascinating that a website published one article that praised a widely hated trailer while said website also published a second article that is remarkably ambivalent about a second trailer that most people tend to like? it’s like in…

exactly. and whenever one person finds another person’s thoughts and opinions fascinating, the correct reaction, as you have shown, is to publically mock the first person. this clearly is the most adult and reasonable response.

not quite; after their last victory when they were 5 points up, they had something like a 85% chance of clinching playoffs due to remaining SOS and tiebreakers between two teams. Wild had basically won their way in by the time they finished their 6 game win streak.

I really don’t see a flop here... it does look like it in real time from the back, but from the replay from the front you can see that Gostisbehere is looking away when the hit comes so he doesn’t see it coming (look at the 20 second mark), yet he immediately jerks his upper body down when he gets hit; in my opinion,…

what? where in the world is she saying that demanding a candidate who represents the readers interests can *only* be for the rich? that is a bewildering stretch of what she actually wrote. what she says is that voting based on idealism, even when it runs directly against realism, is not a tactic that is available to…

hmm, interesting. i understand the distinctions you called out, but i can’t quite say i see them as persuasive. sure, keith only used one had, but that was only because his other hand wasn’t available to him, and with his one hand he seemed to deliver as much force as he could have (keith literally used all the space…

it what way was mcsorley’s more egregious? in both, a hockey player clearly and consciously swung a stick aimed at another player’s head, in both cases they made contact, in both cases they followed through the contact, and in both cases this was well away from the action where there could be mitigating impulses…
