That's all I could think of. In the middle of a comic shop seems like pretty much the worst place to murder a police officer, at least insofar as cleanup goes.

Agreed. Also he died really young. Even at the pace he was going and swollen to the size it eventually reached there was no reason not to expect that he'd be able to get through the whole thing.

Well at a certain point your capacity to play The Sims is significantly reduced, so it's important to keep at least some sort of handle on all that stuff.

I recall hearing in some criminal law class or other that the vast majority of planned murders for hire aren't even attempted - turns out it's way easier, safer and less likely to send you to jail forever to just take a significant up-front payment and disappear.

I think it's worse when your sims are ticking along great, living fulfilling and successful lives, and you realize that you're starving, exhausted, bored, and still don't have a job or friends.

4's what we keep in the house, but I miss 3 a lot. Especially the open world.

I think this sums it up really well.

Overlong reply: I think things are a little better in Canada, though we still have a case (Beatty) where our Supreme Court said that momentary trivial lapses in concentration while driving weren't necessarily enough to lead to criminal liability, even if death results - Beatty for no explicable reason (wasn't drunk,…

♫ By the way don't go back in time,

I read it as a variation on, like "tens". I was thinking, wait, so women get objectified out of ten but gay men are on a one to five star rating? Or are they like Michelin stars where even one is a pretty big deal?

In my limited experience of special ops killers, this is probably much truer to life.

I'm not sure age is inextricably connected to world-weariness, nor height to ability to ass-kick. Plus sometimes actors portray qualities that they do not in fact possess.

Unsolicited and only tangentially related anecdote: I'm pretty sure the closest I've ever come to death is when I was 18 and went one summer to visit my buddy at his hometown, a clapped out silver mining town in northern Sweden. He was telling me how the town is famous for its hooch, which they make in garbage cans…

My highschool production of Fiddler on the Roof begs to differ.

Sometimes it works. Jason Bourne was much improved as a neurotic stoner.

They could still turn it around if Arya goes through the trope-mandated Defeating of the Rival (which in this case will surely mean killing her), only for it to turn out the faceless men were putting her through her paces somehow and have someone else wearing the Waif's face welcome her into the family or something.

It seemed deliberate to me - the scheme unwound and we only got the losers' perspectives. I imagine there will be some big moment in an episode or two where Margaery's plan will come clear.

I'm good with both! But if we only get one I'm much more interested in Grey Worm and Missandei, agreed.

Of course there's a benefit - support. Maybe status too, but this sort of harassment (particularly in the communities where it's reached epidemic levels) is incredibly stressful and demoralizing even absent actual danger, though that's the possibility that obviously undergirds it. Folks speak up about harassment…

That scene with Drogon felt super out of place. I feel like it should've been integrated into the end of the episode where Dany walked unharmed out of the fire - maybe that'd be too many big notes to hit all at once, but the Khals all following her immediately after that rang a little false, and also wouldn't it make…
