I had a great guidance counselor and a terrible guidance counselor at my high school. The great one understood that not everyone wanted to go to a four-year school, helped explain how to find money, and wrote recommendation letters for anyone who asked who she felt deserved it. The other one was flummoxed at the idea

In sixth grade, I was disallowed from answering mental math questions because I generally got the answer faster than anyone else in class. Once I was forced to stay quiet, a single boy started answering at about my same rate. He was never told he needed to not participate.

I had a similar thing happen at my previous workplace. I had people who assumed I was my supervisor's admin and not the highly trained, technical person taking care of all the documents on a regular basis. At one point, a higher up who actually knew my job title, saw my male supervisor was not at his desk and assumed

Oh, god, I've got a constant interrupter at my workplace now, and he gets pissed off if you just keep talking over him. If you're a woman. If a man keeps talking over him, he clams up.

"Cook dinner a few times a month."

I thank you, and that super creepy sun probably also thanks you.

Same. There's no way those shuffling bastards could get a deer unless there were a bunch of them coming from all directions. And even if they got one, every deer within hearing would scatter at the sounds they make. Same for smaller game, too.

Or, if you have a defensible position and a crazy man with a sword is about to behead the moral center of your group, maybe someone SHOOT HIM. I am still mad about how the prison fell. I get that it needed to for the planned plot, but that no one could read that group with the Governor and see that they weren't all on

But there's a difference between showing us four seasons of people having to make hard decisions and showing us wave after wave of bad guy who seems to be evil because of exactly one negative event. I feel like, if you asked anyone in Rick's crew, they'd give you a list of things that went wrong, but none of the bad

True, and they became a part of Rick's crew, which is basically how the show shakes out. If you join Rick, you're good. If you don't join Rick, you do some sort of evil thing. With the Governor it was interesting because he was presenting this façade of trying to be civilized while doing horrible things where his

I personally consider it cheating in making me cry and have feelings and will be demanding my money back. You know, when that becomes a thing I can do.

Not only that, but the wild game situation has got to be epic at this point because there's no hunting season to cut back the herds. They're probably no more than two feet from a deer at any given time, and yet it's all junk food. Yeah, it's hard to store meat, but with that many people, you could easily tear through

They've done such amazing work with her. I keep waiting for them to fall into a trap given the show gets tropey at times, but they've really done right by her and given her a full arc, and she's both the baddest ass in the world and the most genuine in terms of wanting everyone to be safe and taken care of.

That's really the core of my issue with the show. I really, really enjoy the show, but I am so tired of the "Everyone is evil who isn't in Rick's crew." They haven't met a single person in charge of another community who hasn't been bat shit crazy balls, and I know it's the same in the comics. The writers (and

Tech writer high-five!

And I think his further reluctance is connected to the girls they were traveling with (whose names escape me right this second), one of whom murdered her sister, and the other he and Carol made the decision to kill because there was just no getting her help in the current situation. Which tugged at my heartstrings a

I have been screaming about their lack of doing this since they did it early in season 1 and then completely ignored it for FOUR SEASONS. And when it happened last night, I shouted, "Of COURSE Carol does it!" Because I swear she's the only one with some goddamn sense most of the time.

Awww, come on, no Dr. Strange getting felt up by a sentient sun? That's the best one!

Awww, really? it always makes me laugh.

It's not. He's just stroking it lovingly.
