I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for the day one of these shows does some kind of fake kidnapping or assault and a bystander pulls out a gun and shoots the guy. Its probably why they don't do these shows down south or out west much.

They’re missing my favorite, “US-Releasedatemon.”

THANK YOU.

Maybe... she wasn’t actually raped.

“Everyone seems to have an opinion about why Game of Thrones, once a mesmerizing fantasy land that darkly mirrored modern day dilemmas, has become near unwatchable.”

Jezebel has NEVER been good with declaring universally agreed-upon opinions. I think its definition of “universally agreed-upon” is actually “this is the consensus of the hipsters that work for Gawker media.”

I started re-watching last season in preparation for this Sunday and still love the show.

I have to admit, it rings a little hollow when a site that adulates the cabal of Real Housewives thinks it’s an authority on what’s “bad” on tv. Have fun watching Vanderpump Rules guys, I’ll just be over here with the narrative structure and world building.

Sounds like the elitist smug is at an all time high. Weekly I go to a bar in Minneapolis and watch the show with about 150 people who like me love the show. I guess its news to me that its become unwatchable. Must be hard to be so ahead of the curve.

I love this advice on buying a home: get a mortgage where the payment is no more than 25% of your take-home pay on a 15 year fixed rate mortgage. That’s it. Those are your guidelines. (26%, 28% is OK). The point is, your payment won’t take up so much of your income that you can’t do anything else, and you will have it…

I whole-heartedly believe that the people who feel warmest should be catered to in any shared-space. If you’re cold you can put on more clothes. If you’re hot you are limited as to how much you can take off.

Well, I hate dressing appropriately for the day’s weather, but having to strip naked to be ok indoors. And my coworkers aren’t too fond of it either.

To each her own, I guess. That was my point. Personally, I do not understand how someone could eat, sleep, or fuck in temperatures of 82-84 without pausing to occasionally throw up.

This is how I feel, too. I’m female, but I’ve always been ridiculously sensitive to heat (I’m also overweight, but the heat sensitivity long precedes that). Cold I can deal with pretty easily—put on more layers! Wrap up in a blanket!—but short of air conditioning, with heat you’re just stuck. Not to mention that while…

I’m female, and I agree with you. It’s unfair to have it warm, since putting on sweater works, but peeling off clothes isn’t an option.

Slow. News. Day. If this is what you have to complain about, you clearly have a jaded sense of reality. What kind of first world problem nonsense is this?

Jesus. 77°F is 25°C. That is nuts. It’s one thing to be working in an office that doesn’t have air conditioning, so it occasionally gets that warm on summer days, but quite another to aim for it. I’m a girl, and that is TOO HOT. Are the rest of you secretly lizard people? You are. I knew it.

Hi! Overweight dude here. I’m a big guy... 6’2”, 225 lbs...
