Uh, this is a rain/river flood. It could happen anywhere. Baton Rogue, the area being affected most severely by this flood, is pretty far inland.

I dunno, I actually liked his delivery quite a bit and prefer him to Trevor Noah. I think he brought some of the bewilderedness and amused aghastness that Jon Stewart was always good for but with a sharper bent of political satire vs. the bro-ishness of Trevor Noah. The show was a little rough around the edges and the…

It depends. They issue evacuations differently based on projected flooding for areas. His family is in an area currently under voluntary evacuation because while they’re off the river, it’s in an area where its cresting really slowly. The water creeps up by inches gradually.

Yeah I know man, I used to be a reporter in southern Louisiana and part of my beat was hurricane protection and flooding. I’ve done multiple river and coastal floods. My family lives there now. I realize this is unprecedented flooding, all I was saying is that a lot of people who live in Louisiana (and people move…

This flooding event is incredible and more people are probably going to lose their lives or their homes before the end of the day. I’ve been texting with my boyfriend’s family and they’re currently sandbagging their house and just waiting because they live on a bayou that is expected to crest this evening. The water…

I recognize its problems but it remains an okay trashy watch. I will also put on a rerun if its on TBS. It’s just... comforting.

Yeah I’m in my 30s and I play Pokemon Go, but in like a “wander around on my lunch break” or “maybe I’ll take a walk around the neighborhood after work” kinda way.

I hope those tight-ass overalls are lined because can you imagine running around all day with skin-tight denim chafing your nipples my god

Yeah, he’s said it wasn’t true a bunch of times even though it seemed like a natural story thread (why the fuck else bring up a character that disappeared beyond the wall and has a random motivation to help Bran?) so I was pretty happy the show is doing it. I annoyed every book reader I know texting them with YAS…

That awkward moment when a horse has a better hair care regimen than you do.

I am an ex-journalist and used to work in a strange, southern news bureau that had a very strict dress code. I was an environment reporter and often out in the field riding ATVs and boats but I wasn’t allowed to wear sneakers, jeans or t-shirts while on the job, and it wasn’t unusual for someone to anonymously report…

Coulda sworn it was rooster brand, but maybe it’s some knockoff bird.

Yeah I thought this had been around for awhile too. The place I get my pho takeout from always throws a little packet of sriracha and hoisin sauce in there.

I’m plus-sized. It’s always been easy to get subdued plus-sized clothes in “basic” colors like black. (Black is slimming! It’s what fat ladies want!) It has not always been easy to get clothing in vibrant patterns, which I think is why things have been swinging hard in the other direction these days.

It did not get better. Lady loves rape as a plot device and uses it in practically all the books.

Really? I thought the first three books were the most interesting and it gets super boring after that. I only managed to get to book six out of sheer stubborness.

I dunno, as someone who read the books and watched the show, I thought the way that scene way drawn out over the course of the episode way waaayyyy too much.

It’s the rapiest book series I’ve ever read, and I’ve read Game of Thrones. That being said, I recall book 2 being slightly less rapey (but don’t worry it picks up again in book 3!)

I’m a writer today, so I chalk it up to that. ;)

Haha. Yeah! I was totally into sociopathic lies to manipulate my little sister, a lot of which were based around super involved fantasies I created for her. My parents knew I was a total shit and intervened a lot of the time, but sheesh. Knowing what a crazy little lying asshole I was makes me super worried about…
