I love this.

That’s part of it. I also think part of the problem is the “anti-PC” culture which so obsessed with being “non-PC” (aka: an asshole) for the sake of it without understanding anything about what you’re actually saying or doing beyond “lol, makes the liberals mad!”

Our neighbors had a smartlock, but it was for a key box with the spare key. They put it high up (I actually had to jump to hit the numbers) but had it so they or my family could get in if someone lost a key or they needed us to check their pool pump while they were out of town.

That was something my architecture teacher complained about all the time in FL. “Everyone has these doors with big windows in them...don’t they know that means the lock is useless?”

I actually think Arya’s plot is the one that makes the most sense-in universe. It’s a deconstruction of the revenge plot. Arya wanted to avenge her family only to find out the more public part of the avenging (taking out the Boltons, killing Joffrey, killing Tywin, retaking Winterfell) was all done totally without…

I think the worst convient nonsense is “kill a White Walker and all its Wights drop, kill the Night’s King and that stops everything.” Like...are we in a Video Game now?

Honestly given all the show cut no way it could have the same endings to a lot of plots as the books. They dropped Lady Stoneheart and Aegon, the latter of which meant dropping Doran and Varys’ plots. They also cut Tyrion’s whole Essos plot which initially people thought was okay until it ended up just reducing Tyrion…

The idea from the framing looked to me like he thought he could maybe get to the Night’s King and kill him before realizing he had no chance and stopped, but the hesitation was still too long and cost them.

Yep. I think it started becoming clear in s5 that when they don’t have canon they don’t know what to do (see their disasterous rewrite of Dorne: while the books’ Darkstar plot was stupid, that was worse, you did not need that awful plot just to cut Darkstar, and they totally undemrined all of House Martell in the…

“United Daughters of the Confederacy”

Don’t know. I know Jews went 75% against him as a bloc but idk how long the hardliners will hold. I know their more liberal relatives hate their guts for voting for him and it has caused a lot of infighting.

Lee was offered the command of the Union. If he didn’t want to fight for the Confederacy, he didn’t have to. Other Virginians DID fight for the Union. There’s a nice long list of Union Virginia Regiments over on Wikipedia for anyone who wants ‘em.

I think he and a huge chunk of other shock-humor and offense-humor types REALLY need to start realizing that a huge chunk of their audience aren’t laughing because “zomg, he said something you’re not supposed to say!” but “ha-ha! this person agrees with me and is validating my worldview!” Or even just “oh, other…

Lost among the many people who don’t want to watch the clip and instead whine about how much they only wanna punch Nazis instead of looking to solve the issue of undercutting their recruiting others.

That’s not what she says in the video at all. The point of this group is to undercut the Nazis recruiting which is also a good thing.

Yep. A point of this is to undercut their recruiting.

Seriously, her last Ladies Who Book was great. It did a god job of summing up how Bannon figured out how to mobilize disaffected male nerds due to a messy Warcraft venture, then brought Milo onboard to get Gamergate within his Brietbart sphere, and went from there. Real good summary of what I watched go down over a…

NAT TURNER. Dude was pretty fucking cool and frankly the slave revolts always could use more focus. Cut down that myth of the “happy slave” so many like to pretend was a thing.

Wow. That is a startlingly effective idea. I love how the clocked them.
