I blame the existence of The Path of Daggers

Four years? Yikes. I get slightly weirded out when someone likes my comment from 12 days ago.

This comment is amazing, though that may because the context of the troll has been removed. I can only wonder at the depravities of the original comment. (I mean it was probably just homophobic shit, but a man can dream).

That's an insult now? Huh. People these days.

Oh definitely. The hardest part is when she's desperately trying to bargain for her companion's lives. But the other really tough part is when the septon tells her that her father would rather have a living daughter than her body on a shield. And she remembers her dead siblings and declares that her father ended up…

You think Belloq would know that opening the Ark is pretty much guaranteed way of having God open up a can of whoop ass on the offenders. What was the Nazis end game plan? To bring it into battle, open it, and have their entire army close their eyes?

That's okay, I'm sorry for reacting in a confrontational manner. I also apologize for modifying a Simpsons quote in a manner that may have implanted the image of Homer Simpson twerking into people's minds. (Because as soon as I typed it, that image came in my head, and man did I wish it didn't)

Well some people don't have curiosity about the music. They just aren't interested. This isn't meant as a slight against the people who are interested. It's just that we choose to spend our free time in different ways.

In hindsight I kinda of figured. At the time I was slightly confused because usually snark has an element of humor to it (rimshots).

I think the main criticisms of Brienne's storyline is that it doesn't go anywhere. I disagree, though I think that it could have been shortened a bit. I think it is going somewhere, but it's a little frustrating that we have to wait over a decade for it to be resolved. Plus, I think the scene on the Quiet Isle, and…

Happy Passover everyone (or Easter, or other spring holidays that are in the near past or future). This weekend I have finished my watch of season 1 of Sirens. It was fairly decent, and I found it more entertaining than most USA original series I've watched recently. Maybe more of them could benefit from a half hour…

First Point: I wouldn't call seeking out more music of artists that I like at least one song of a random way of approaching music. I mean, using the internet to seek out music is certainly different than 20 years ago. And it's probably pretty odd, and not typical. But not random.
Second Point: Exact opposite actually.…

Because I don't? My musical interest have just not coincided with that year. Okay, so this summer I carpooled with people who had a 90's station on all the time. Sometimes it would play Nirvana or Pearl Jam, and I would recognize the song. Sometimes it would start to play Ice Ice Baby and I would get excited by the…

It sounds like you and your peers are pretty big music buffs, with a vast knowledge of all sorts of music. And I'm sure it makes for excellent conversations. And I agree it seems weird that these people at the radio station were not as big music fans, and not knowledgeable about things that seem like they should be…

So all the laws are immutable until the Messiah comes. (Again?)

I always enjoy the explanations of the Song of Solomon that try to state why it's not one giant sex metaphor. "No its about God's love for Israel!" It's kinda of kinky.

So what exactly does it mean to fulfill the laws? I see that quote get thrown around a lot, but it's not entirely clear.

Maybe someone can come up with some theory about how digitization of music caused this trend by shifting focus from albums to individual song. But I would argue you knowing musicians such as Johnny Cash, and Buddy Holly is different than a millennial knowing about some song that was huge on MTV when she was too young…

Well, my viewpoint gets skewed by me being on the socially withdrawn side, and not attending parties my freshman year. And only using one example. Gangam Style popped up the next year, and that was so omnipresent it's probably stuck in some part of my head for all eternity. Ditto for Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" and…

Looking it up, that song came out the year I was born. And I have absolutely never heard of it. I think in most cases people aren't going to have huge familiarity with popular music that was before their time. Especially if the songs aren't still frequently played on non niche radio stations. Until last summer, the…
