Though not as much as Arya wanted to warm Gendry's cockles amirite?

I thought that it contrasted favorably to the fight scene on board Yara's flagship. Single tracking shots focusing on one character convey the chaos of battle far better than a thousand jumpy cuts.

I may or may not have just came.

It's also well established that the Iron Bank makes a habit of financing the enemies of it's debtors. Cersei may not end up with an army at her doorstep, but Daernys might be offered a suspiciously low-interest loan with which to purchase additional ships and mercenaries.

Did Arya best her? I got the impression that it was basically a tie (both seemed to have a blade at each other's throat).

I actually thought that the whole purpose of setting Dickon up as a character was so that he would be the one to inform Cersei that her brother had been fucked (and not the way she enjoys).

If the Netherlands taught us anything, it's not to martyr these people.

Boy, if there's one thing they say about Joli, it's that he/she really knows how to read a room!

Hey, what about Omarosa?

I've found that gay guys send dick picks very frequently, but usually I'm asked if I want them first. Honestly, the larger awkwardness for us gay guys (well, I'm bisexual) is guys soliciting dick picks uncomfortably.

But see: here's the problem. I'm mixed race, and half of my family are working class whites, a further half of which are Republicans. They're more or less nice people, and I genuinely have good relations with all of them. When I bring up subjects like how I've personally been treated under the Trump administration,…

That's a good point. It hadn't occurred to me before, but I usually tend to associate it with the left, even though the right engages in it all the time as well. That probably has something to do with how the far right tends to be far more vocal about using it, at least as a buzzword. Ironically, you might say that…

That's reasonable enough. Honestly, I don't dislike Sanders, it's just that I think that there are some people who refuse to challenge him on these sorts of issues. And in all fairness, there are lots of folks who do the exact same thing with the establishment Democratic Party. In general I think politicians ought…

Personally, I feel my thoughts on the matter could best be described with an exaggerated eyeroll.

I've always considered it to include an element of bad faith. Which is to say that it's more about trying to demonstrate good character than actually developing it. When I think about 'virtue signalling', my mind immediately goes to something like obnoxious white college kids trying to talk over black people about…

Wasn't Bernie pretty infamously the one who first argued for supporting anti-choice candidates? I remember there being a lot of outrage over his supporting candidates that endorsed Trumpian positions on women and immigrants, but then refusing to endorse that guy in Georgia because he 'compromised' too much.

Okay, but aren't the people claiming the mantle of what you're describing the same as those who say, 'Hey, you know what? What the hell, blame the brown, gay and pregnant people. Um . . . do the working class whites like me yet? Gee, so much of my self worth is measured in the approval of white people".

But it's like, one of those fancy chili spiced chocolate bars. It's dark chocolate melted into a cappuccino . . . okay, I'm going to stop now.

That is in fact not true (source: I am a member of one of the largest social science research groups based in the North Atlantic and spend several years doing research in a lab that specialized in Icelandic datasets). Greenland actually has more arable land than Iceland; it's just in a very narrow strip along the…

I do have a freakishly slow metabolism (my friends always joke that I would last longest in an apocalypse because I would only have to go scavenging for food once a week).
