I used to struggle with this, because I was interested in hearing people's stories and I just wanted to understand. Then I read this: http://www.derailingfordummies.com/derail-using-e…

Every woman in America should see that movie. I don't think you can watch that movie and skip another election ever again. Those women were heroes and I think of them every time I slap on my 'I Voted' sticker.

Forcing-feeding them during Ramadan ... I don't think the authorities can say that they are doing this simply 'for their own good' to keep them alive and do that. It makes it crystal clear that this is simply another form of torture and that the United States of America has lost its way. We cannot claim to be a…

A tendency towards delusional thinking. That it means something when one is first, the way he thinks giving a nice gift will mean something more than it does.

I have a cousin who just can't ever connect with a woman. He's either deeply closeted even to himself or very broken, I don't know. He has a pattern where he befriends a nice lady and slowly starts just acting like her boyfriend. Fixing things, assuming they're on for Friday night etc. Then he starts with the…

1 or 2.

Like the movie theater assistant manager with the suit jacket that doesn't fit right ...

Thank you for taking the time to so fully answer my question. You've expanded my understanding and added nuance to my thinking on the subject. What you say makes a lot of sense and I'd never thought of any of this before (apart from for food). When you grow up in an urban environment, you are so disconnected from…

I'm afraid I'm just a poor speller. Off to google 'stomache.'

As someone who grew up in a world devoid of hunting, I am very curious about this. What other reason is there to hunt nowadays? I'm not trying to be trollish, I promise. I'm genuinely curious.

My stomache hurts just thinking about it.

I don't quite know what to say to the idea that an entity should need to come together to 'purchase' the land. There has to be a point where 'ownership' as a concept no longer applies.

This is my very favorite fairy tale. It's sinister and lovely and is about a young woman saving a young man. Why did they have to change the story? It was perfect and excellent for our times.

The writers on io9 are really fantastic, we are lucky to have them!

I was holding it together until I noticed 'In memory of Carl Sagan and Stanley Kubrick'. That pushed me right over the edge. I love humans sometimes, I really do.

Unfortunately I am an old married lady and all the fic I read skews heavily romantic, so it tends to be fairly adult. I'll think about this and see if an author rises up through my memories. I read way too much of this stuff in 07-08, there's gotta be something!

Damnit. I was totally fooled by Stahma. I really thought she was building something for herself and only herself with Kenya. I bought it hook, line, and sinker. I am Defiance's bitch, apparently.

Second time today I've seen that mentioned. I'll have to check it out.
