If by “something horrific” you meant getting into a Sisyphean discussion with someone who has become severed from the fundamentals of rhetorical constructs, then, yes, I suppose you are right about that.

Exactly. You’ve never been a bartender, but you proscribe some sort of bartending forcefield of protection as a rape prevention tactic. Rape prevention is a tautology, in that the only prevention is men not raping. Dozens of people who either were bartenders or who had stuff put in their drinks by bartenders piped up…

Anybody can go back and look at that insane comments thread. I rest my case. I further suspect that you are an armchair bartender the way you are an armchair New Yorker.

This is the bro (Flying Squid) who argued with people all day yesterday that being roofied/raped was caused by bartenders refusing to keep watch over customers’ drinks while they were in the bathroom instead of, you know, men who rape, so, I wouldn’t waste to much logic energy trying to examine causality with this…

No, there don’t need to be more brothels. Prostitution is just paid rape.

You’ve just had dozens of people tell you that first of all, it’s not safer, second, it’s not practical, legally for the license holder or the on-the-floor staff, and three, it’s part of a larger causality to find workarounds for not being raped.

That’s cool that you draw attention to yourself like that.

Yes, after being punched in the face, having his kids threatened, and being blindsided by a TV news crew he somehow managed to craft a statement designed to be substantially extrapolated by/ personally offend you.

It does especially when this is in the lede graf.

Oh, wow, thank you!

The biggest failing of poptimism (or rockism) is the assumption that any piece of art deserves more or less consideration because of how vast—or how little—its reach.

There’s a little more to Freud than that.

I really don’t get it either. The intensity and level of commitment and creativity does give some credence to the theory that Bon Morte is behind the entire thing. I don’t know about that, but, Bami/Hoko is definitely Tomatoface.

The “detective work” about the late Bami Pangang, now Hoko Africa or somesuch, actually Tomatoface, are peppered as comments throughout this post: http://gawker.com/high-ranking-p…

Yes, and yes, I agree. The facial expressions in the scenes leading up to the Red Wedding were some of the best on the series. I did like Rome a lot, so it is nice to see some of those people again in GoT (though the whole Dorne thing has not been too great). Cersei has a lot in common with Attia and I could have…

He has a small recurring role in GoT too but not enough for his character to develop any sort of arc...but yes, it is always good to see him.
