Are you kidding? As a married, working woman with a working spouse, I absolutely feel the need to "come out" to potential employers because I want/need to know about spousal benefits, relocation, the possibility of dual hires, etc.

In theory, Dorothy, you are totally right. In practice, it doesn't always work like that.

I think you're just trolling here, but you're not doing a very good job. Your argument doesn't make sense. Nobody needs to "change their views" in order to be able to handle someone casually mentioning something in conversation. Reasonable people learn how to say things like "that's nice" and, if necessary, silently ad…

Reasonable people can talk to each other normally. You don't sound like a Reasonable Person. Maybe you can learn?

Go to someplace like Sephora! Or the Clinique counter. I went at 28 - "So, I'm going to be teaching this year and I need to look older than the undergrads. Help?" Very effective! I don't exactly have a "makeup routine" and still usually go bare-faced, but at least I can pull something together for teaching,…

How do I make it so the eyeshadow doesn't then rub/fall off into my eyeballs? Do you set it with something?

I also am useless at eyeliner. I also have sensitive eyes, so am leery of things that can get in and irritate them.

This sounds like witchery! What are some brands you all like? As a similarly-burny, vampire-skinned paleface, the more SPF, the better. (E.g., this is my new best friend: http://www.sephora.com/instant-minera…)

What is BB cream? Am I supposed to know this? (Edit: genuine question, not trying to snark!)

Are you kidding? That would be AMAZING!

Yup. Also works great for picking up actual calls when I'm at my computer and my phone is who knows where.

Well, when the character was first introduced, the Veep gets in trouble for saying he's "not American" (because an aide tells her that he was born overseas), so... I wouldn't say his Asian-ness is never mentioned.

Why do these kinds of articles highlight tweets from random nobodies and give voice to the idiot a-holes saying stupid stuff? Next up: guy on streetcorner with large sign thinks "Obama=alien" and "they are here"! Interview at 11.

Totally agree, they dropped the ball on the follow-up.

It is possible to be brutal, reprehensible, and sympathetic. You can do terrible deeds and also do good ones. Yes, I think viewers are expected to be repulsed by some acts and sympathetic to others. (This is also how human beings function in the real world. Yesterday I said mean things to my husband when he used up…

I so agree. And look at all the discussions we viewers/readers are having about rape, consent, misogyny, violence... I think being faced with these horrible, disturbing things is good because it makes us think, question, discuss, and, hopefully, learn.

I don't think your idea is backed up by the story material. When Dany and Drogo first have sex, she is very young, and finds him frightening. She also has no choice in the matter. Why would she possibly enjoy her wedding night?

No, it wasn't consensual in the books.

Doesn't it make sense, though, that he might want to redeem himself after doing something like that? I agree, they should have made his motivations there a little more explicit. But still, I do think it follows. It doesn't get much more rock-bottom than that, if we're talking redemption arc. And he's always been the…

For myself, I like it because of the complex questions of power, morality, and character. I like it because the world is gritty, and messy, and sweet, and sad, and confusing - just like our own. (Well, plus dragons.) The characters in this series are more complicated than anything else I've ever read. There is no…
