I started watching that show without much foreknowledge, and more or less liked it. Was at least intrigued enough to keep watching. Then I found out what was going to happen to Mia Maestro's character and lolnoped the hell out of there.

"Heart" is relative though. He showed he loved his little brother. He didn't seem to care much about all the people he doomed to death by his impulsive reaction (well, I reckon he cared, he just cared less, or he forgot to care in the heat of the moment). I'd much rather serve a commander who watches his little…

True Detective's second season got pretty close to that.

I (from central Europe) have a friend who's a pilot and therefore regularly travels to the US. One of the things he keeps saying is how insane your "news/entertainment/spectacle/whatever" broadcasts are.

What are the odds!

I had eight years of French in school (I'm from the German-speaking part of Switzerland), and while I could get by with that, more or less, I only really got a feel for the language during my army time when I was stationed in the French-speaking part of the country and had French-speaking classmates and, later,…

Just FYI, the third one would probably be something along the lines of

As a European, can confirm. Although getting along with Russia would generally make life easier (and more profitable) for us; I'd just prefer if they had a regime change first (yeah, I know, fat chance).

Biggest disappointment for me in the Matrix movies was that they chickened out on razing Zion.

Splendid username/comment synergy you got there.

How can he mean what he says when what he says is actual nonsense?

I don't think you should say such things, it's very mean to Neanderthals. They don't deserve such comparisons.

There's an Avril Lavigne conspiracy theory? Holy shit, what a time to be alive!

I was wondering the same thing. Opened the article with a strong "Dammit!" in my mind because I thought the conviction had held.

"Good" seems a bit of an overstatement. I'd go with "Not as horrifying as it could be.", maybe?

A venomous snake. He'd have to eat a poisonous one to suffer ill effects. I don't wish that upon any snake.

Yeah, I feel somewhat similar. I generally have no problem being patient with a show to set up its world, characters, stakes etc., particularly when it's an adaption of a work I have not read/seen. "People are saying it's good, I'm sure it will come together in the end." and all that. And depending on how it's done,…

Bush did pull out of Kyoto, if I recall correctly, so Trump will be in "good" company once he dumps Paris, sadly.

If he's going to pull out of Paris, that will quite likely have a lot of long-term consequences, and very bad ones. We (the world) really don't have a lot of wiggle room on that front, and it looks like he's about to fuck over pretty much everyone and everything which will be alive in the coming few dozen generations.

I don't see why not. Penis substitutes have been known throughout much of human history and prehistory, as far as I'm aware.
