Tanks for nootin.

Despite “capitalism being smart that way,” businesses and industries fail all the time.

I think you’re probably right, and that’s not a criticism of the genre or its fans. I’m just more of a sci-fi guy.

“Matt Damon is gunning for an Oscar for his role in the extremely overrated film The Martian.”

It’s not about “figuring it out.” Sometimes, situations are fundamentally unsustainable. In fact, lots of companies can’t generate enough revenue to pay their employees. They go out of business since the employees refuse to work for free.

Great song, but isn’t that riff lifted from Hazy Shade of Winter?

The boiled leather! Tell me about the boiled leather. And the motley. Oh, the motley!

Whatever happens, I just hope we get lots more of Daenerys wandering from town to town, and John wandering around the North, and Arya wandering all over Westeros and Bran wandering wherever the fuck he’s been wandering.

Jenner: “Bro, I love your stubble.”

Cupping is like chiropractic, in that some people swear by it, despite there being no scientific evidence of its benefits.

Thanks. I disagree with the majority of what you wrote, but that’s okay.
