Why WHY do the same people who scream about Hillary’s emails not realize this is 100x worse in every way?

Psh, whatevs, libtard! Only libruls, Jews, blacks, socialists, hyper conservatives, commies, the illuminati, Republicans, the rich, LGBT and humans worry about dying in a nuclear Holocaust.

I 100% believe this to be true. Case in point: my mother who until recently thought that being on gchat meant people could ACTUALLY SEE HER. Not to be ageist, but the people in our society who don’t understand how computers work tend to be the same age group who overwhelmingly voted for trump based on shit they saw on…

I hope they’ll go into more details with the neo-evangelical underpining of the Purge propaganda. It was clearly a big reason why people accepted the Purge as a good things.

This actually has me extremely excited. I’ve never watched the films but the setup for the series is taking one of the basic tennents of high concept scifi. Take a single bizarre premise and then imagine and explore how society would evolve around it.

I’m good with babies because they (and their mothers) can’t help the crying and they will eventually fall asleep.

I live in London and had one of these throughout my pregnancy. They only work about a third of the time in my experience, and its always young women who offer you their seat.

Well, THAT’S considerate. It’s one thing to outright cancel a show, but it’s nice that they gave some acknowledgement to whatever audience was out there, how little the numbers may have been, to ‘fund’ some kind of resolution. I hope this little addition to the existing business model gets picked up by other ‘higher…

I’ll watch it just because she’s in it. Loved Person of Interest.

Translation of everything a Libertarian ever says = “I don’t wanna pay taxes, and I wanna smoke weed”

This is what infuriates me about libertarians aside from everything! “dur...free market... Deregulation will solve everything...” when has that ever worked? EVER? Did it lower prices while also leading to I don’t know, a couple of hundred kids dying in a totally avoidable way? But but but free markets no shut up and…

What this conversation needs is a Libertarian to come in and lecture everybody about how legislating equality from the top-down will never work while completely ignoring that it’s the only thing that ever has worked.

White Christian Males: “If only they picked a loving husband or kept their legs shut”.

I don’t think it’s going anywhere, but what I really appreciated about this (and some other, recent books, like Brian Staveley’s books), is how different they are from the Robert Jordan / Terry Brooks / George Martin style stories.

Man, you spent a lot of fucking energy on this, considering your original complaint was based solely on a misreading of the author's comments.

Yeah, it's really a matter of the major players all having the best intentions (even the "evil" emperor) and then doing awful things to make them come about.

Cool. I always felt Martin lingered on that too much. It really did feel like that and turned me off grimdark forever.

I think you make a mistake equating imperialism and colonialism. They are not necessarily the same thing.

It is said that the empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide. Thus it has ever been. —Luo Guanzhong

It's nice to hear about fantasy writers who are working with and challenging stylistic, generic, and formal conventions, beyond simply having antiheroes everywhere and calling it a day. Epic fantasy has an unlimited canvas and yet the vast majority of what's produced appears to be European medieval fetishism with the…
