Hello bookreaders. I was wondering if Martin used 'pussy'. It stands out for me as something that just doesn't fit in the world, and its use in GoT jars me out of the story.

"I robbed, I burned, and I killed. I also said a lot of bad words, including but not limited to…".

Fucking weird and sad, is what it is.

I can't say I've noticed. But then, I wouldn't.

I've been wondering if she got there not long before Arya and has been thinking she needs to defend her position as Jaqen's favourite or something.

So why do you watch it?

…is this your way of trying to come out as someone who likes seeing young women beat each other up?

Along with many others here, I too assume Margaery is up to something.

What a pisser.

I like the ending - when I read it, it struck me as the only one that really made sense. Unlike some others, I'm also fond of the later books, though they have a very clear sense of 'gotta finish this before something finishes me' to them.

Go fart in a bucket and see what the wind whispers back. It'll make as much sense.

Very much agree. I think the social and political necessity of fighting bigotry hampers fruitful and interesting consideration of these matters.

Personally, if someone come up to me asking for a photo and, when denied, declared that having been a customer of the place I work at that they've 'paid for' me and so I am somehow 'theirs' - I would be a bit miffed with that.

Exactly. Use good judgement, and approach and respond with basic courtesy. Which is a pretty good rule of thumb for life in general.

Scary is subjective. If Schumer found him scary, she found him scary. I don't see much use in arguing the toss on that, nor in trying to account for people's reactive behaviour in such situations.

I don't know. That sort of thinking seems more in line with the mentality that thinks Schumer (and any celebrity) somehow owes the public-at-large anything beyond the boundaries of a specific gig, that finds nothing wrong with a man thinking we (so, he) 'paid for' her.

Stewart Lee on the perils of celebrity and Twitter:

"Does Sean O'Neal have to cut your grass because "we" so generously clicked on his articles back when he still did stuff?"

Nope.

I did wonder about that, with how they emphasised the 'what is dead may never die' through Baylon's refusal to answer - the answer being, a wiki reminds me, 'but rises again harder and stronger'.
