I am replying to this nearly 6 years from your original posting. It is obvious that you have died form a heart attack by now.

Also this...

Oooh, that’s gotta be a big one after she was robbed in Paris.

So, let me get this straight: The same people that lauded the violence in the first season as poignant, necessary, “powerful” and such are now balking that the show does the same shit in its second season because I guess now it’s “too real and uncomfortable”?

I’m 99% sure that the Delos team was very aware that he’s a host... he’s just an extremely important and useful host, which is why the grunt steps in to normalize the situation.

How dare you impugn Vanguard’s taint!

Oh, God. You’re right. Damn.

I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of reading about this whole thing the last couple weeks, and it sounds like Mack (and likely all the women involved) were controlled through a restricted diet and lack of sleep. Page Six spoke with someone Mack tried to recruit a few years back, and she talked about how when she…

Did you tell them you were already in a sex cult , an a cappella group.

I hate Ryan Zinke and he deserves to be buried in an avalanche but...

Holy shit, I’m actually surprised by this.

The #1 cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. is unpaid medical bills.

No matter how professional or secure you are, no matter what kind of good choices you make, you could lose your home or job at any moment and get no kind of help to keep you from hitting rock bottom. Life…

you want some 1800s shit? we still have debtors prisons straight out of Dickens novels, even though these were declared unconstitutional several times since the 1970s.

“There are all sorts of issues over here, but the idea of a medical issue impacting your finances - or subsequently your home - sounds like the 1800s.”

That’s awful :( even in Australia, not Europe, I know if I couldn’t make my rent or something one month due to unforeseen circumstances I would be able to sort something out with my landlord and it would be okay. I hope that you are okay now!

TLJ was Untouched out of respect for Carrie Fisher. If you don’t understand that then you are not the target audience for Star Wars.

As for Ben killing Snoke....that one is so simplistic I don’t know why you mentioned it. Snoke sensed Ben doing exactly what he did. There are no magical fans who know more about SW or…

And now here's a view from western Europe:
Waiter - only if it's good and service was excellent, usually something like 2-5%
Rest. Delivery - Only when it is a couple of cents to round it of (i.e. $19,76 —> $20,-)
Rest. Takeout - never
Bartender - only when service has been perfect all night, but pretty much never.
Barista…
