This. Newsflash, parents: the world is not your babysitter. If your kid freaks the hell out, it is your job to either calm them down quickly or get the hell out and spare everyone else the tantrum of your little terrorist.

I must be texting wrong - i never expect an immediate response to a text so I might text late at night because I won’t remember but I wouldn’t care if you texted back at 5 am. (Because my phone isn’t in the bed room.)

Same.

I’d say it was significant for Arya, and for her to realize not all people who serve her enemies are necessarily bad guys.

If you think a comment on the internet is “eroding” your ancestry, you must have a real frail grip on it.

Yep, everyone’s talking about Ed Sheeran and I’m like “Jim Broadbent, yay!!!”

He says two feasts in a fortnight, so that would allow a little extra time for travel.

Sansa wasn’t wrong. She also wasn’t right. But she did do it in perhaps the wrongest way possible.

I didn’t mind the cameo n singin n all, but when Arya says she hasn’t heard that ditty before, cut to his close-up, he slightly smirks and comments “it’s a new one”, I actually rolled my eyes because it really took me out of that world. Like he was winking to his fans out there.

She was both wrong and right - she had a very valid point about rewarding loyalty and punishing treason. BUT - the time to discuss that is not in front of your vassals. When you are the authority, you need to present a united front whether or not you agree with the final decision. It’s no different from parents who…

It’s not even the cameo that’s the problem, it’s how they did it. All but one of the musician cameos the show’s been famous for over the years have been blink and you miss it musical performances by those people (the lone exception was Wilko Johnson as Ilyn Payne).

That entire last Dany sequence looked a little familiar....

Last night I made some popcorn, got some soda, and settled my nephews in for a movie pajama party at home with The Force Awakens. They are 5 and 7, and the 5 year old asks a million annoying questions a second, but I feel like I’m passing Star Wars off to a new generation. Then General Organa walks off her ship to…

Are you suggesting that moderation is more appealing than extremes?

Any time I see lofts or ladders to beds I think, “what if they have to pee in the middle of the night?” I can barely drag my sleep-drunken ass down the hallway let outline navigate a ladder in the middle of the night.

I think the particular problem with the “tiny house” movement is its arbitrary size cap.

You missed the one very key point. Capicolla is pronounced “gabagool” for those that like to fancy themselves latter day members of the Sopranos

Agreed, the issue isn’t the literal meaning behind these words—as neutral definitions—but the decision to wield them carelessly or as slurs.

is autisim the new retardation where in 10 years its an insult even if it used to be a clinical definition?

Eventually at some point we’ll keep having to come up with new words because everyone hates the meaning behind them.

Fat? Nah, plus size.
Mentally Challenged? (Retardation) Special needs, or (quoting carlin)…

Especially if it’s a place that serves food, like Panera, at lunch and dinner times. If you are that person sitting at a table for 4 with your laptop, papers and a cup of coffee - know that we everyone hates you.
