This is exactly what lawyers always do. It's called a demand letter, and it is where you notify the other party of your grievance and what you would settle for prior to a lawsuit. This is standard operating procedure for almost all trial lawyers.

So now it all makes sense. #thelongcon #grifting

Yale already chose them, by admitting them. As a result, they are already more privileged than most people they will ever meet.

As a casual, mostly non-gamer, this is very appealing to me. I already have a FireTV, and I enjoy the ability to play games on it from time to time, but I have no interest in owning an actual gaming console. But I have no doubt that Apple’s game selection will be better than FireTV, which has just a few, mostly poor…

I think the story is clearly leading to Brienne getting a shot at Stannis.

I don’t think the point is that Seinfeld is afraid he can’t tell whatever politically incorrect jokes he likes. The point is that college students are too afraid of the inquisition-like nature of modern college campuses to laugh. That should be of concern to any comedian.

Those things are funny for the same reason that a lot of stereotypes are- because the contain an element of truth in them. Comedy is a way of casting a light on those truths that make us uncomfortable. We laugh as a way of coping with that unease.

Say what you want about Jerry Seinfeld, but his stand up is fucking hilarious. Even my wife, who doesn’t particularly like him, laughed her ass off and had a great time at his show.

Even if he wanted to, I doubt most colleges could afford to book him.

I wonder if this SJW trend of contextualizing every human interaction as part of “rape culture” has anything to do with it.

My guess is that Olenna will be more blatantly behind Cerseis downfall, just as she was Joffrey’s.

The plot is advancing WAY faster than in the books.

Littlefinger is an opportunist. His plans change depending on the circumstances. It’s a mistake to assume he has a grand plan.

It looks menacing, just like the threat of Hillary as President.

Isn't this really just a reflection of her agent's ability to negotiate her fee, more than an indictment about equal pay?

I'm not much of a gamer, but I am glad I bought the gamepad. It's good for playing the few games I do, and I dont have any other game console.

I don't care about this issue at all, but it does seem rich in irony that Gawker, which seems to view it as their journalistic mission to berate and embarrass people with contrary views to theirs, is complaining so much about this on behalf of people with similar views.

this is some pretty convoluted logic

I think their douchetastic haircuts might turn me off from playing it.

I rarely commented when, for some incomprehensible reason, my comments were always greyed out. I've participated more lately, when other readers are the arbiter of the quality of my posts. Some get starred some don't, but at the very least that is a process that makes sense. If Gawker is going back to some kind of…
