Rumpelstiltskin, when he loses, stamps his foot so hard that it splits his whole body in two. You might be right.

Heartily endorse. We need more well made fantasy on the screens that isn't quite as.. rapey as GOT is, and I loved the Alanna books (and all the others) as a teenager.

And I still find him endlessly adorably attractive.

The musical did the one thing it needed to do, even if you don't like the performances.. The writers had been boxed into a corner with all the characters, and this episode forced all the secrets to come out into the open. "I'm leaving" "I'm leaving you" "I was in heaven" "I use too much magic" etc.

Torchwood improves vastly, to the point where Children of Earth (a 5 part mini series rather than a full season) is seriously to this day some of the best TV I've seen. Just don't go beyond that.. the following stuff where BBC and Starz partnered up and went to the US is just absolute drek. You can skip ahead to…

I think honestly the goal should be to vote against incumbents if you don't like what got accomplished. Consistently doing so and convincing other people to do so might make some politicians start realizing that they should be accountable for their actions. You shouldn't get to keep a job you suck at, in other words.…

The american obsession with socialism being a bad thing is consistently insane to me. How, exactly, is wanting to operate for the good of society a bad thing? Capitalism is about being good for the capital, ie the money. Good for the people? Naw, fuck that! WE WANT THE MONEY DOING WELL... :/

Extremely relevant.

Rather than childcare for every woman, or every man, why not simply tie it to the rights of a child. Every child should have the right to free care from an entity other than the parents or guardians for the entirety of their childhood. Children should have the right to healthy and nurturing care, regardless of whether…

I completely got where you were coming from, it's just that as a woman, our experience in the world is so so so different. When you're taught from a very young age to be careful around adult men - literally I was told "Your father and grandfather are fine, but everyone else, stay away" basically. We're told to wear…

Can I ask if you are male or female? I feel that in some ways would be an indicator of how one might react to this sort of threat. As a woman, I think we're constantly told and taught that the only way to be safe is to be proactive about it - to make it as hard as possible for someone to make us a victim. Yes, you're…

Shut up and take all my money.

How can he convince people he's not a pet animal? He's pretty darn adorable playing with his toys - he doesn't seem 'wild animal' he just seems "AWWW HES SOCUTEIWANTONE".. worthy goal, not sure of the success in execution.

ELEs have to literally make it impossible for any human to survive it. Ebola clearly isn't, as horrifying as a global ebola pandemic would be, some people do survive it.

I believe I recall having read that every human alive today is descended from a founding population of less than 1000 individuals. At some point, for whatever reason, every other group of humans died off (although of course this group need not be one cohesive unit) or had their descendants die off. Not sure of the…

Shotgun supplies. Zombie Vaccine. Zombie proof glass. Zombegone spray. That's just with 10 seconds thought. Fear = profit.

Rather than a uniform, perhaps something simple like Tshirt, polo shirt or sweater, and jeans would be a reasonable school dress code. Applies to girls and guys, means that parents could buy one wardrobe, not two, and would fit every budget and most weather situations. You're now not discriminating based on sex or any…

However, her hair was saved, and will actually be used in one of the future star wars movies. No lie. http://io9.com/karen-gillans-…

And restaurant ranch is way more loaded up than that - most places make their own by the 5 gallon tub at a time, using mayo, buttermilk and seasoning. I've witnessed it being made, and it's truly horrifying. Bottled buy in the store ranch has other ingredients to keep it shelf stable etc, and I have no doubt that it's…

I have so many crazy restaurant stories, but foodwise, there are two that stand out. I worked at a 24 hour breakfast/coney island/greek joint for a few years. One day, I saw someone put both yellow mustard, and syrup on pancakes, and eat them with apparent joy. Another time, I had a guest who requested that she…
