From my understanding she doesn't screen the donors, they just post if they have milk available.

That's one thing that worries me about breastmilk swaps, that combined with the "breast is best!" mentality, women might kill themselves to try to obtain breastmilk when the source isn't known to be safe or regulated. Right now in the U.S., breastmilk swaps are unregulated so you have pretty much no idea who the…

It doesn't use femininity as an insult. It uses femaleness as an insult. Femininity is not femaleness. Butch dykes use tampons too.

Shit happens, people get black out drunk. That isn't an invitation to go have sex with the blacked out woman. Her actions shouldn't have to be dictated by a fear of being raped. What kind of fucking society do we live in where we think it's ok to tell women, "you have to live your life this way, otherwise you may…

I think some people say these things in the same stupid way they say, "I grew up without seat belts and bicycle helmets and I survived." Yeah, the people who survive get to proclaim seat belts and bicycle helmets aren't needed while staying blissfully ignorant about the people that needlessly died or were injured…

It's almost like he has a really really good reason.

Most Zach Snyder movies I've seen so far have felt like they were half-hour long stories stretched to feature length by playing every other shot in extreme slow-motion. Does that happen again in this one?

Don't you EVER touch this movie.

I agree. While the solution posited in the article is fascinating and I guess could work, I don't want Braavos to be cut. I can see S4 ending with Arya getting on a boat and sailing to Braavos. Plus, considering all the Westerosi who wind up across the Narrow Sea, I'm thinking they all meet up in Braavos at some…

Plus it's fascinating. I'd be really sad if it were cut.

But.....the Hound isn't dead, he's just not "the Hound" anymore.

Oh great. Now even the barrel escape is a big ol' action sequence. Peter Jackson just can't fucking leave well enough alone.

I'm not surprised. The FBI is none too fond of Anonymous in general, but now that they've taken vigilantism to this kind of level, the feds are going to want to nip it in the bud clearly and publicly ASAP before others start to get the idea that they can get away with this with no repurcusions. And while I'm largely…

Worth bearing in mind that the article was written eight years ago. Certainly, the demands of box-office & SFX have altered, but Rogers' point about the writer trying to make those action bits work in service of story not vice versa is still important... when the writer has the option.

If we keep talking about the film it's never going to go away. Let it fade into obscurity.

Actually, I'd agree that he's good at characterization, too. His sentence construction isn't awful, and sometimes it's quite good, but it's clear he's not concerned with concise sentence structure.

Nonsense. He emulates historical fiction, and has plenty of inspiration from actual events. The whole storyline is similar to the Wars of the Roses, where several British houses fought for the throne, while the Red Wedding itself is partly inspired by the Black Dinner were the chiefs of the Scottish Clan Douglas were…

"Canning" has been around for centuries and doesn't often require anything more than heating up whatever you want in a sealed container and removing additional oxygen from getting to it. It's actually quite a simple process.

Many things keep longer in cans, not because of preservatives, but because they have been pasteurized and are packed with nitrogen instead of oxygen. Once you open the can that expires in 2014, you can't put part of it in a plastic container and keep it until 2014 if you didn't cook it, because you have introduced…

You know not all preservatives are bad for you. The 'healthyness' of a food isn't lost because of benign, zero-net-effect additives like many preservatives. The sugar, however, is a big problem. But just a quick check of the labels in your super market and you can usually find at least one or two offerings without…
