Natural economic process. Individuals maximizing utility of capital. No need for name calling.

16 feet?!?! 2tons?!?! OMFG. Please, stay in Australia's oceans.

Roz is *one character* and a minor one. As above, I can think of several female characters whose stories were presented as being about them and their experience, which includes a few rape scenes.

Of course not. Ros was a very minor character. Her maiming and death were only ever intended to cement Joffrey as a sadist.

Gotta be honest here on this one. No matter how much I wanted the game (in this case, I don't really care... but let's say it was the equivalent of Fallout 4, or Half Life 3), I'd never get past that first e-mail, ever.

Beijing's bid might be complicated by the fact that it doesn't snow there at all. The municipal Weather Modification Office will do what it can, but between the parched climate and the ambient pollution overseeding the clouds, there's not much to work with.

You're definitely describing the first computer I ever did anything serious with, but I've got about 5 years on you - my dad definitely brought home a 486 that played floppy disk games, and a Windows 3.1 machine after that (on which I first played Solitaire and Minesweeper).

The only thing left, really, is for Martin to pack each edition of Winds of Winter with a venomous spider placed about fifty pages before the end so that you, the reader, dies at the climax of the book.

So; since Sanger never headlined a huge concert against a particular minority group; she wasn't a racist? C'mon! She was a product of her time and their tendencies, and it's absurd to pretend she wasn't invested in seeing particular minority groups being minimized or eliminated over time. That was the entire point of…

As a card carrying progressive, I take offense at the micro aggression of saying a feminist icon such as Sanger is a racist. That is a interpretation that is incorrect on your part. She was writing about the great good of society. Besides she can not be racist, you should really have your privileged checked. Even if…

Could? Should! You're the editor; please remind the young progressive newbies of whose shoulders they're standing on. Right or wrong; it matters.

Margaret Sanger? Founder of Planned Parenthood? Eugenicist? Who never, ever wrote a racist book in her life? Huh?

Aw, crap. I've been told for the last week now that Texas = Awesome 'cause Toyota. I almost forgot that damn near everyone — even little old ladies — are packing heat. And what's with Texas cops??? First it's the farmer's dog last week, and now a trained peace officer does not know how to end a situation with a 93…

That saying always rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe because it was used against me at one point (at the time, I didn't have friends of any gender), but it just seems like a safe way to put a woman in her place under the guise of being supportive of women.

it is spelled out in the books, in a very similar scene. the reviewer keeps the books and the show separate, and assumes the person reading the review has not read any of the books.

Much better than her "floppy bunny ears" dress they describe in the book, although I'm surprised that HBO eschewed a costume that would legitimately allow them to show one breast of every female character.

White Walkers are known as the Others. They are a different creature than humans, similar to the Children of the Forest.

"The Wall Has Magic That Makes It Sentient and Repels Invaders & Stops The Others From Passing". Yes, the books entirely tell you there is magic in the ice wall and it has the powers to do all of this. The parts of the book people make up these theories from is flimsy at best.

Sucks in the book, sucks in the show. I'm tempted to re-read the series and skip her chapters entirely.
