The “real issue” here, is Amazon. Amazon loves to not take any sort of responsibility, always pointing the finger at the “vendor”. The reality is that people are buying from “Amazon”, not the “vendor”. It is “Amazon’s responsibility” in regards to what is being sold on their site. Here is an idea Amazon! How about a

Hey Amazon, if a bunch of customers bought these super cheap glasses because you listed them (including in your lightning deals), and now that people bought them and thought they were prepared and now find themselves unable to by proper ones, because the safe suppliers only buy in bulk.... How about you do the right

These fuckers wait until the last minute to do anything about this. Try to buy some legit glasses off of Amazon right now......good luck.

I got one of those—but for a different type of glasses. Text from Amazon was:

McMaster is a fucking force of nature.

Although I loved ‘All the Birds in the Sky’, I am thrilled beyond belief that ‘Obelisk Gate’ won. I think Nora Jemisin is a tremendous writer, and ‘Obelisk Gate’ was the book that had to do all the heavy lifting for the trilogy—it had to do tons of exposition and world-building, even beyond what was done in ‘Fifth

I would expect nothing less from a one-round popular vote system that puts forth seven options.

There are no real head-scratchers on this list of awards. If I were somehow appointed Hugo Dictator, I probably would have given best novel to Death’s End instead of Obelisk Gate, but I can understand why the voters find Jemisin’s series exciting.

Agreed. He’s always been an abrasive fuck, and people should not take a negative view of Star Trek just because one of the original actors happens to be mentally “off”. Heck, that’s true of a whole bunch of actors. I try not to learn too much about the real people behind well-known roles, because i tend to be

Hamill is a gem. And he was one of my very first boy crushes when I first saw “A New Hope” (then called “Star Wars”) in the theatre, age 11. He was just so pretty.

Genuine question. Have you ever actually called someone a SJW in person to their face? What was their reaction?

Here’s the deal. If you support the person’s art but you hate their views or actions then you are complicit in lining their pockets so they can continue their awful behavior.

Shatner was a dick even back in the ‘60s. It’s not a coincidence like half of the original cast couldn’t stand him.

He sounds more like a 12 year old.

Yeah, I’ll roast him. Rich white guy gets beaten down and joins the alt-right?! He is literally at the height of privilege, so to him, criticism seems like a fucking pogrom.

Yeah. I mean, on the one hand there are a lot of octogenarians that are quite progressive. On the other hand, he was literally born during the great depression. At a certain point, you just wait for those old toxic ideas to die out, rather than try to change them.
