They are not knockoffs of anything as far as I’m aware. The first six books are solid. Books 7-9 kind of drag and then they pick back up. I wasn’t a big fan of how Sanderson finished it off but that’s more because of his style not meshing well with me (Christ, how could such a cool concept like Mistborn be so…

Well, I remember liking them until about the 6th book and then it seemed like just a chore from there to about the 13th book or so and then it all got wrapped up and at that point I was just ‘about goddamn time’. I might go back and read the first few books again to familiarize myself but honestly I got so mad reading…

I had a number of similar experiences with my mum, rest her soul, a white woman. One time we were at a pub in England, in the town she and I were both born in, I was having a pint and we were just sitting by ourselves, minding our own business. I went to the bathroom, came back and she wanted to leave immediately.

The oil won’t help. Oil also bonds with the starches and proteins shed by taters and pasta. What doesn’t get bound up will just go down the drain or cling the pasta when you remove it from the water.

Who hurt you? Why make this article basically a jab at (old) BioWare when you could just focus on this game with a passing mention of Infinity Engine games? Also, Pillars of Eternity (and others) are sitting right there to fill that void.

I’ll be sure to change the headline to “5 best moments from Conan and Jordan’s heady melange of bafflement, fascination, exasperation, contempt, and affection”

I’m going to dissect this bullshit one bit at a time:

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

The Atlantic reported in 2014 that the Veiled Prophet Organization barred Black and Jewish people from joining.

Seriously though, while the Canon-7 RF f0.95 50mm lens ain’t all that common, I’d hesitate to call it “rare”. Hell, I’ve seen more of them in Austrlaia than Nikon F-mount f1.2 50mm - or even Pentax f1.2 50mm...both of which were made for decades after Canon stopped making rangefinders, and for lens mounts that are…

“Whedon’s current issues stem from his recent wedding to Canadian artist Heather Horton”

Just so I’m understanding: John Barrowman did some really crappy things in 2008 (and probably before). He was formally reprimanded. He apologized. He hasn’t done said crappy things since then. He is now being cut out of things due to these issues 13 years later.

This is racist. You probably don’t even see it, because that’s how racism works, and people never see it when they’re being racist, but you’re being racist right now regardless of whether you think so or not.

Don’t think there’s anything very unreasonable about that. He’s airing someone out in an attempt to (fairly or otherwise) malign them in the public eye. It’s only natural for the public to want to get the details of what went down and not just accept vague insinuation as a referendum on someone else’s character.…

I get where you’re going with this, but it really needs to be “on the shore of a dark Scottish lake many miles away” for your allusion to have the synchronicity you’re looking for.

If this is Fisher not being cryptic, maybe he should go back to being cryptic. Because if this is the whole story basically boils down to:

Bullshit.
