“How does the occupant of the White House not know this?”

And further, I must also point out that the publicity they gained was very largely negative. Sure, some people who are already strongly leaning their way will be thrilled by the violence, but those who are strongly against are feeling vindicated in their hatred of fascists, while this is forcing more moderate folk to…

bfine and Vagenius do have a strong point - in both Germany and Italy, there were grassroots anti-fascist fighters who were resisting the early fascist movements. Eventually, the parts that had loyalty to the social-democratic (what most people today, confusingly, refer to as just “socialist”) parties stood down when…

My dad... long ago tried to play “Yo Noid!”for the nes, kept dying, and swore like I’ve never heard him swear before or after : P

This is pretty minor, but there’s one other example I noticed (someone mentioned the “Steamy Romance” novels and a quest during Cataclysm that I hadn’t heard of - as for the novels, those are kind of played up as jokes so I don’t know if they really count).

... furry, actually - you joke, but it kind of canonically exists in the game. In Draenor, there’s a tiny story going on on the side where the gentleman who builds the Alliance garrison has a crush on a Worgen woman (who is crushing on him back). She stays in her human form, but he knows she’s a Worgen and he right…

... I was going to say that the last paragraph of Ms Merlan’s piece was in somewhat bad taste, to turn this miserable event into a snipe at Trump (as someone else pointed out, it’s neither Obama nor his fault, and there’s very little sensible he can do about this - I’d be more worried that he’ll over-react, honestly),…

They just need to get Soldier doing his awful dad dance while Reaper is watching with disapproval.

He was literally just sitting there bending a spoon with his thumbs - I couldn’t have had the patience she had.

... so I read the snippet saying Trump cancelled his trip to Masada because he couldn’t land his helicopter on TOP of it, and I thought “... okay, surely that must be an exaggeration, they’re being glib... what does the Newsweek article actually say” and I click on the link and... yup. That was exactly what happened.…

oh my god I thought that was a lawn mower at first and was horrified.

Oh... wow. I responded to your response to shygurl before seeing this. You’re kind of going around insulting everyone. : /

... you’re being super confrontational and, honestly, insulting to a person who didn’t actually say anything insulting, Helens.

I agree with the other currently-pending-folk. Respectfully, I think you’re over-reacting.

Just a small thing - not a general critique of the article, but one thing that’s not quite right. You mentioned that “redneck” originally came from those workers who wore red bandannas around their necks - while this eventually came about, the term predates that, and this whole event.

Okay but do you have *definitive* proof that they’re not air holes? AND NO SCIENCE ARTICLES THANK YOU, we all know that the scientists are in the pocket of Big Squirrel.

I’m offended by any ritual or holiday that celebrates anything as awful tasting as asparagus.

According to the Catholic church, it’s not symbolic - the priest is literally turning the bread and wine into the flesh and blood of Christ.

She clearly meant that it cost (at least roughly) as much as a month of rent, and that she wasn’t choosing a festival over paying her rent.

I’m perhaps in an odd position, because I quite disliked the movie (despite generally being cool with zombie movies), enjoyed the book (with a few quibbles), but didn’t read the book until AFTER I saw the movie.
