How about how touched you are that he loved his granddaughter so much? It was cruel of her to imply that Richard was devoid of affection.

I didn't get the impression that Rory only had the New Yorker piece, just that it was her most recent and most important piece. The one she was hoping would finally put her up a level. I mean her comfort discussing the legalities of writing implies that she knows the business to some degree.

You can also make a grill cheese in a frying pan in five minutes. I don't see the advantage.

GF Grills were explicitly forbidden in my college dorms. I assume because they were fire hazards.

Jingle All the Way. Clearly.

For evil villains of unparalleled madness and cruelty, the Suicide Squad members sure do make friends quickly and easily. An open-hearted bunch.

Well yeah. Saying "the majority" of a group thinks some way implies there are exceptions right?

Wilde had two sons and was happily married for a while so there must have been more than one time.

None of that proves they aren't also bigots. Given how thrilled they are to place blame where they've been told, I think it almost reinforces it.

What conclusion did you draw then?

Sure, why not? It seems like a logical conclusion given his "platform."

Are you asking for a friend?

The emotional arc of the story and characters made so little sense. The point where they announced they were "family" after knowing each other for maybe 6 hours, I just gave up.

Hardly an update. More like a cash-in. Disney live action is their new cash cow, it seems.

An updated version? Why would they bother? Have they updated any other princess movie?

It's bad world building that people in Harry's society aren't by and large interested in fixing the injustice within their own culture? What? That's probably the most realistic part of the magic world.

I mean that's the point. It starts as a fantasy and he slowly realizes his world is deeply and terribly flawed.

What tax dollars? When was the last time "rural America" was able to carry its own weight? They've been leeching off wealthy blue state tax dollars for years and then complaining about it.

High school-me thought this book was super annoying and pretentious. Which makes me think that it must be some sort of pretension pinnacle. Either that or it was satire and went over my head… Was that it?

Clearly you don't read enough Ahoby fanfiction.
