Do whatever you want, George. At this point most of us have moved on anyway, so you might as well live it up in your remaining years.

I have been saying this for a while now. And honestly, I am kinda pissed that stricter gun laws are being made necessary because men can’t handle rejection. Here’s a novel idea: Develop smart gun technology and allow women to carry, but ban men from gun ownership. Yes, I know it’s a violation of Equal Protection and…

“The uploader has not made this video available in your country”

Kanye is making the mistake a LOT of people make (men especially), where they try to think about what they’d do in ‘that situation’. The mistake they make is trying to imagine themselves, as they are, suddenly magically transported back in time to whatever point. THEN they see themselves as either hypercompetent or…

I’m sorry but I did and anyone who says otherwise is just daft. There’s an implicit agreement to complete a story. It might not happen, which is why as in all things, buyer beware. I have no legal recourse, sure, but it simply is there whether you personally choose to realize it or not. Sorry.

1) You think the presumption that, if he wasn’t writing other things, he’d be writing the novel, is ridiculous? I don’t know what to tell you.

That’s easy - the consumer defines a reasonable amount of time. We ‘vote with our dollars’ as it were. Yes, he can opt to take as long as he likes, but that doesn’t mean the same number of consumers will be waiting with baited breath on the other side. Consumers have the right to opt out by saying “Enough. Too long.”…

And cue the white knight to ride to GRRM’s rescue and defend his slow-ass, time-taking honor from those who only wish to see the conclusion of a work that they invested time, money and attention into, supporting Martin’s career and livelihood.

Go suck an egg, you pompous ass - although this will stay grey, the point is made. fuck grrm, and piss on fuckers like you who continually defend him.

It’s a bait and switch, and he has robbed us all of money.

Actually, he is employed by us. We give him money in exchange for his work. That’s the very definition of employment.

He is kinda employed by us, his readers, who buy his books. And people complain rightfully when promises are made and broken followed by endless delays for a delay-prone writer.

He should just release a one page announcement saying what happens to everyone. I’d be more than willing to accept that.

Dear William,

Your license to use pop culture has been revoked, because you used “accidental death” as a reason to invoke “Final Destination.”

When a death occurs that was the result of many factors working together, instead of someone getting caught in a thing and having a heart attack, what will you turn to? Will…

Officer: “Do you know why I pulled you over?”

Mirror mirror on the wall.

Good Lord,this author sounds insufferable.

Granted, I’ve never read his work (and don’t plan to, the genre isn’t my thing), but how is this in any way anti-feminist? It’s a fictional, female character in a fictional world that presumably doesn’t necessarily follow the same societal mores (let alone the physical ones in…

I mean. . . Lecouffe-Deharme is certainly a better artist than Goodkind is a writer. Also not nearly as much of a dick.

Or! If you like Firefox and this is per Moon’s post on Hackerspace:

Well, I’m a woman and while I don’t tend to feature sexual violence, there is violence against men & women. I don’t think I would specifically try to change that to win a prize. Actually, I’m sure I wouldn’t. The story comes first.
