I understand that comparing for the sake of comparison is futile, and offensive. But for me, even without accepting the comparison at face value, the fact that someone made it allowed me to accept that it wasn’t just me, that i was not weird or wrong for having gone through such a bad time, and still have leftover…

I am a kid who grew up fearing night time sleep because i could die during my sleep, not have consciousness to repent my sins beforehand, and end up waking up in hell. Partially thanks to my parents for instilling in me the fear that i could die of a heart attack at any time because i was a chubby kid.

I can’t fathom…

According to the books, greyscale can sometimes be avoided by chopping off the affected limb. But it’s not a 100% effective treatment. In any case, yeah, i thought that too, specially because it’s not his right hand arm.

Never seen the Walking Dead, but being about zombies, i can imagine that the loss of limbs is…

Maybe it was just me, but first thing i thought was “chop his arm off and throw it outside!”

I think Brienne is simply thinking on Tormund in terms of the stereotypes about wildings, and that forms her reaction of disgust. If she actually feels any attraction to him, her reaction of disgust will be even greater, because part of that disgust will be directed to herself.

Well, the tale is placed temporally in a might-makes-right era. If a sorceress has the power to turn somebody into a hideous beast and escape any consequence, she’s well within her rights to do so, no matter what other considerations.

You have a soft place in your heart for people who are honestly ignorant, but people who are deceitful, that’s a different thing.

What do you think most foreigners would do if they were requested by the real state agent to pay a certain amount of the final price under the table?

Yeah, that’s why they prefer to deal with locals.

We foreigners can do this better. Here you have a video of the Socialist Party in the Spanish election of 1993:

Welcome to every election ever, everywhere ;)

Yes, something of relative use came out of it. But i mostly compare those few useful results against the amount of atrocities that were done under the guise of “medical research”, and that they were published in “scientific journals”, and that are mostly worthless, other than as a compilation of horrors.

What annoys me…

What medical advances? I understand that most of the experiments performed on prisioners were little more than exercises of sadism, scientifically worthless.

Phrenology and Eugenics were never science. They were working hypothesis that were discarded in a short time, since evidence didn’t support them. But by that time, they had taken firm root in people’s culture as pop-sci.

The solution is not to make them coed, but to physically destroy professional advancement through networking.

I guess we’re at an impasse. Except that you think that my obviously correct opinion is wrong, which makes you wrong. But don’t worry, one day, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day you’ll find yourself binge-watching TBBT. You will enjoy it ;)

Did you see the alternate ending (i call it the “good ending”) they decided to release in the internet to assuage fan outrage?

But the success of the show is not only with American audiences. This alledged “bad taste” is not an American thing.

And Spanish taste, and Chinese taste, and French taste, and Polish taste...

You totally should call the cops. It’s illegal to physically coerce someone into watching a tv show they dislike (physical coercion is illegal in general), so that’s good news for you!

As a legal positivist, i’m perfectly fine with that.
