Unless zombies are magic, in which case all bets are off, a zombie outbreak would be unlikely to ever actually get to a zombie apocalypse IMHO.

Apparently these days it's mostly "Surviving humans fight other surviving humans".

There are plenty of discussions going on here in parallel though, this is just one thread among many, and nobody is forcing anyone to partake in it.

I have honestly never understood the tendency for some of my fellow dudes to talk about their boners. Complimenting a woman's looks, yeah, sure, why not, but then making the leap to boner talk just makes me feel like I'm among prepubescent boys who are trying to figure out their body.

*web search for Amy Schumer*

The first time I (a dude) encountered the concept of female dress sizes my reaction was more or less this:

Ah yes, I suppose if you're actually in the US you're much more exposed to this kind of thing via other means than just the internet. Since I'm from central Europe, pretty much the only exposure I get to this is via the internet, our news outlets don't really care about Amy Schumer that much. ;-)

While I must admit that I prefer my female partners to be somewhat in shape (and yes, in return I will naturally do the same, principle of reciprocity and all that), the methods in which female fashion is sized have never seemed even remotely sane to me.

Well, I've never known the internet to be an entity which has its priorities in a sane order.

I think that's perfectly fair. I am very sure that better examples than the GoT one could be picked, it was just the one which initially jump-started that thought for me.

Honestly, I never noticed it before I saw that interview segment, and it's not like it bothers me. Of all the things to criticize about that show, that's not the one I'd have picked. As you say, it feels too much like bullying the actor for being fat, and I ain't gonna do that. But it did make me think about these…

That's fair enough I'd say. It's not like there's some be-all-end-all objective truth to this, in the end it's just a personal preference on my part.

I half expected the judge to go "No shit, Sherlock." when Matt said that. Sigh.

Feel free to tell your husband that at least one non-lawyer does somewhat care (me). ;-)

Feel free to call me when in need, or link to the post (hyperlink directly to the post can be obtained by going right-click->copy link on the timestamp), or copy it as needed. Spread the wisdom!

Yeah, same for me, at least as far as I can recall. I remember some enormous eye-rolling at the voiceover of Savages. Although that movie's voiceover was generally terrible anyway IMHO.

Yeah, that actually sounds very plausible. It's not even that it's a generally bad approach, but like any other approach to a problem, you have to apply it correctly to get a good result.

I recently made a post about this with regards to Game of Thrones. The guy who plays Sam had apparently been asked by somebody why he (the character) was still so fat despite probably doing lots of walking and not much eating at the wall, and the actor's response was basically "You buy that there are dragons, but you…
