Oh my god I had the hugest crush on Raistlin. I'm soooooo glad that the internet wasn't around when I was 12 because I do not want to imagine how far down the fandom hole I would have fallen if there had been the Pit of Voles and Livejournal when I was coming of age. Can you imagine how embarrassing it will be for all…

I've wondered that too. Could a bunch of scientists really be that uncomfortable with the idea? I wonder if it's just because instead of the infinite of ever expanding space their small ape brains are just freaked out by the idea of that much ... stuff. "Infinity is fine, but not if you come with an idea that really…

I love this show. It clearly wants to tell deep stories by building characters that allow them to examine so many different concepts. I was saying to my spouse last night that I feel like they sat down on TVTropes and did an analysis to find out which character types would allow them to tell the largest volume of…

I lost my little sister 5 years ago, so I know that I have no words that provide comfort but I want to tell you that I have enjoyed your work immensely. Thank you for writing this piece. I'm so sorry that you have had to come to grips with a death outside of the traditional cycle. It's brutal and baffling and just so…

This is my first Father's Day since losing my dad and it's really messing with me. I'm a tearful crazy person and my filter is nonexistent. I just want it to go away. I miss you, daddy.

I think we can all go home now. There is no greater wimpification.

One Hour Photo was Not Okay.

Damnit. I just started reading that! Meanie.

I think Kenya was really undone by her unexpected feelings for Nolan. She's spent all this time creating a successful business, taking care of both her customers and her employees, as well as bringing herself back from some unnamed anguish. Then this guy shows up and all of the sudden her heart is betraying her and…

It depends mostly on the counsellor (and your willingness to commit to the process). For my spouse and me it was invaluable. We did 8 sessions with an MFT because we aren't religious. She was amazing, really understood us and our dynamic right out of the gate. Even with that though our first year of marriage was…

I completely agree. I would be so fraking proud of him and so sad he didn't trust me enough to know I'd be right there beside him hiding out in Hong Kong. I just want to believe in heroes, so I've decided to think that he didn't tell her because he loved her too much to consign her to the possibility of a life of…

Oh! I didn't see the original version. Wow, I was more obnoxious than I had originally thought! Thanks for letting me know.

Banks's is correct, it's only years of folks misusing it that a singular possessive ending with an s' has led to both being considered correct, like decimate no longer strictly means to kill 10% (yes, this still bugs too). /Pedantic Perry

Wait, this is a thing that happened? Damn ... This makes me very sad indeed. Do you have a particularly trusted source for news on Israel? I never know who to believe when I try to educate myself. Thank you in advance.

I don't think she's saying Jews, I think she's pretty clear that she's talking about the ultra-orthodox groups, not all Jews. I don't think she's being anti-Semitic, rather has no patience for how the ultra-orthodox fringes have been behaving as of late.

I'm sorry to hear about your health, but good for you for being proactive!

I love your costume! And the gekko is perfect. And your body is perfect just the way it is. No one has the right to make you feel badly just because something you struggle with shows physically. Everyone struggles with something, be it cigarettes, drinking coke, playing too many video games, driving when they should…

Ah man, where'd the troll go? I was so sure there would be at least another ten paragraphs of willful ignorance. Entertain me, Mr. Troll!

I think you've captured it beautifully. My spouse will be very confused next time we visit my in-laws and I randomly shout 'Roach, near the food! Kill it!"

You are cracking me up! Your lack of perspective is terribly fun.
