It’s a tad disappointing that there’s no actual desktop site to use. I use a Kindle Fire 7and apparently the Swych app isn’t compatible with it. Oh well.

Right, but you said “when non-black people use brother as a title.”

America can be a hodgepodge of non-black people from other cultures. On a New York bus or subway, you can hear a wide variety of people from different cultures saying “brother” or some form of it. Would that make you uncomfortable?

You would…

Wait, though. There are a lot of non-black cultures that use the word “brother” and “cousin” that have nothing to do with being anything like that white dude on the bus appropriating the word. English monks, for example, refer to each other as brother all the time. And a lot of different Asian countries use brother or…

There’s enough incest and darkness in Turin and Nienor’s story (which clearly influenced GRR Martin’s writings” that it could come full circle and have the new show influenced by the GOT show as well

Based on everything written in this post, it doesn’t sound like Taylor Swift even had anything to do with it.

Coincidentally, I stopped watching around 2010/2011 because of unrelated (busy life etc etc) reasons. And even back then I was playing catch-up by marathoning 2007-2010 in large binge-doses at a time.

Then, recently, I was considering starting catching up again on what I missed between 2011 and 2017. And holy cow:

“Who…

I agree.

“fanfiction did what the books couldn’t” is a bit off the mark. It should be more like “fanfiction did what the books didn’t feel necessary for the mythology within the chapters of LOTR.”

Tolkien’s aim was to create a mythology that the modern world had been lacking for some time and the story of the Lord of…

The guy at the next urinal was so amazed that he looked over to me and said, “So is this based on a novel or something?”

Well, crap. I thought we were supposed to turn that option ON.

I didn’t even catch that! Plus, it’s normal mode.

“your PS3 won’t disappear when you pick up a PS4, so don’t worry about money down the drain””

I guess I wasn’t explicitly clear. It was in reply to a lot of people saying things like “buy a PS4 and then buy the HD remaster/PS4 version” which, as mentioned, a lot of them don’t have free upgrades for. (And yeah, my…

That’s funny, because, coincidentally, I just started Black Flag on PS3 a few days ago, and my first thought while seafaring was “Wow, this is amazing!” (after not loving Assassin’s Creed 3 all that much).

I have a pretty big backlog so a lot of things are still new to me. I have a few things to get to that are…

Hang on, I get that this whole thread is out of love for his portrayal of Jim, but isn’t that just insulting to him as an actor, for him to hear that no matter how he acts or transforms his body or behaviour, he still is only Jim?

I agree. As an Asian, I made this similar point many times with Scarlett Johansson and Ghost in The Shell. I was born in Asia and watched adaptions on stage and tv of things like Romeo And Juliet featuring an all-Asian cast.

There was even an all-asian version of the Ghost (Patrick Swayze/Demi Moore) remake. And no,…

“particularly the Christian religion as seen in America”

Yeah, I can get behind this statement.

again, I wasn’t trying to convince you otherwise

At the same time, asking for ID when approaching sex (paid or otherwise) has never been the norm in our society. Clearly it should be.

And if I were a sex worker, I’d be very, very reluctant to show my ID to a client that would be able to see my address.

That said, prostitution just needs to be legalized in order to…

Preface: I’m not trying to convince you of anything in sharing the following:

I grew up religious in the deep South. I was in a world of youth groups and worship leading and 5am prayers at church and Wild at Heart men’s groups and I Kissed Dating Goodbyes.

But that was a long time ago and I’m not any of that now. But I…

this woman from the Bronx won the Music Education Award

Just goes to show how greedy this government of ours has become.
