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).

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.

Not that I think that this particular situation is a big deal, but if we're being real, falling is significantly different from being flung. That you use the former as a euphemism for the latter serves to point out how little regard large corporations have for individual results, an attitude that trickles down from…

I'm currently addicted to My Cat From Hell. I've never had a truly hellish cat so I don't know what lengths I would go to for a pet. But some of the people on that show are extraordinarily forgiving Like the Bengal that launches itself at it's owner's girlfriend's jugular every time she enters the room. I really…

I grew up with an uncle with Downs and have worked with disabled people.

She managed to make her point without the personal abuse. Pity you couldn't do the same.

Did you really just use the equivalent of the "I'm not racist, I have a black friend" defense?
