You know, ever since the first mention of "cold rolled steel" I have been wondering if the world of Westeros really has the technology to produce CRS. A mill large enough to produce 4 inch bars would be pretty massive.

I was incredibly bored. Big fight scenes like this do nothing for me. I'd almost rather watch an entire episode of Stannis doing mundane things. Stannis Gets a Checkup. Stannis Sees Where Our Food Comes From. A Very Stannis Christmas.

I guess it would be possible, but it would require a lot of pressure, and that pressure would probably heat up the steel quite a bit, which would mean that it would no longer be cold-pou...ah, never mind.

Right right... lemme fix that, thanks!

Cold-poured steel would be an interesting process.

I was pleased at Ygritte dying at the hands of Olly. I guess he actually was the best archer in his village.

Yup. I've said it before and I'll say it again: it is not the job of women alone to fix rape culture. Systemic problems can't be solved on an individual level—the burden of fixing the culture has to be shared collectively.

why do people seem to think that learning self-defense and teaching men not to rape are mutually exclusive? no one is blaming the victim if she gets rape, anything she can do to protect herself is good. also no one is blaming rape victims for not knowing self defense. we can try to teach people not to murder or…

it's the champagne of venereal diseases.

When I moved to the United States in 1999, I dealt with plenty of overt racism from bullies. One high school bully used to push me around and shout in gym class: "go home immigrant!". It doesn't get much more "accepting and progressive" than that, doesn't it? Guess what? I toughened up, grew some thick skin, and ended…

Good grief, you guys are so overly sensitive and politically correct that it is profoundly annoying. I am Asian American; I was born in Taiwan. When people ask me where I'm from, I would usually reply: "are you asking which city in the US, or my ethnic background?" Sometimes they're asking about the former, sometimes…

"Twenty-five. Three tons of him. With lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes."

One of the more unpleasant days of my life involved stopping for gas at a rural gas station at dusk, where a pickup full of guys shouted, whistled, and offered various suggestions of activities I might do with them at me while I willed the gas to pump faster so I could get the hell out of there. One mile down the…

Teenage girls occasionally do it in a bullying way.

I've seen this in Oakland, and at least one incident resulted in a knock-down, drag-out brawl in the middle of the street at about 11 am.

Maybe she was just a bitch? Why are you giving her the benefit of the doubt and assuming you were "like the tenth" guy to approach her when she didn't give you the benefit of the doubt to process your perfectly respectful question before flipping out?

Why are we empowered when we buy a vibrator, but a man who buys a fleshlight is a 'lonely fuck'?

" what kind of a lonely fuck would use one of those?"Jesus. That's a bit harsh. I'm surprised at you Jezebel as you are usually very pro masturbation and against shaming people for pleasing their bodies.
