This is basically the Stanford prison experiment relocated to a Newark airport.

Honestly, they just seem so fascinated by penises that they seem to assume women are too. Until recently, most of the books I’ve read were written by men, and the few female authors tended to use tasteful cutaways. I read Uprooted by Naomi Novik, who includes a sex scene which I found strange to read. Eventually I…

Millenials are achieving ‘girls bathroom’ levels of mystery and intrigue.

I get that, I do, but it seemed like most of the bannermen already hated Petyr. I thought for the most part they suspected he had a hand in Lysa’s death but couldn’t prove it thus were stuck with him. And seeing how everyone was ready to overthrow Jon for Sansa as ruler of the north, I have a hard time believing…

As one of the involuntary childless, I find that Dany’s repeated claim that her dragons are the closest thing to children she’ll ever have resonates deeply with me. I wanted to smack Jon Snow for second-guessing her. Maybe she could have had them, maybe she really is now barren, but like me, her life circumstances and…

I agree, the whole set-up was insulting and obnoxious. The happy ending doesn’t change the fact that all their scenes prior to this were totally unenjoyable. Also...it just didn’t make sense. Did someone just forget to include the shot of LF eaves-dropping on their creepy private convo? Maybe the shot of both girls…

I HATE how they’ve been saying that they built this dramatic tension that makes you think that one or both of the Stark girls might try to kill the other. Umm, no sirs, you didn’t. You contrived drama for drama’s sake, engaged in some character assassination for an episode or two, and somehow think no one saw…

Also, re: Jon offering Longclaw to Jorah...

Don’t forget the Hound fucking everything up because he’s bored and wants to throw rocks.

Melt ‘em down and repurpose the metal for plumbing pipes for public bathrooms. I personally would appreciate the artistic impact of the world taking a shit on them every day.

Hey, it’s a proven scientific anecdote that if you give a poor working person more money they won’t spend it, they will just horde it or use it to invest in bitcoin. That’s the problem with poor people. They save all their money instead of giving it to rich people.

A few years back when the ACA was going into effect, the Papa of Papa Johns yelled about how he would have to raise the prices by 50 cents to cover the additional costs. How horrific!

You’re ironically projecting a lot of things onto her that you have no way of knowing. And you seem to be trying to excuse your own behavior.

This. Sorry if I am being physically restrained, you bet your ass I’d throw a plate of hot pasta... or anything in fucking reaching distance. I am a small person, you DO NOT corner me. EVER.

We will have to agree to disagree here. I think the proportion of the defense is absolutely critical to the situation and can’t be evaluated independently. I’ll give you that her feelings don’t undermine a right to a defense—that’s a point I hadn’t considered. If she had, however, stabbed him with a fork or a knife,…

You don’t have to be afraid to have the right to defend yourself.

Anger most often comes from a place of fear. Many people never identify that; they just think they were angry and that’s it.

Yep, as the marriage counselor told my ex-husband, when he prevented me from leaving, that was abuse. My ex never hit me, but he would back me into corners and stand over me, would wake me up out of a sound sleep, and would prevent me from leaving the room or the house. Along with lots and lots of gaslighting, those…

That’s a good point, but still, she says what she was angry about was the way he was expressing dominance over her. I don’t think anger necessarily negates the validity of self-defense. To use an extreme example, if someone puts a knife to your throat, while the typical response would be sheer terror, I can imagine…

Hope E Moss has improved her Kiwi accent since then ...
