I remember starting the series thinking this was just going to be some gruesome medieval drama, and little by little it was revealed that magic did exist, but had been forgotten by many and thought myth by others. It took me until Dani was locked in the tower to accept that magic straight-up existed in that world.

To be fair, her arc is brand new in the books. We don’t even have a direction for her yet. Her primary motive could be the death of Rob, or it could be revenge for all she feels have wronged her. Which, considering her spite for Jon, could put him on her list.

Edit: too early in reading to realize my theory is redundant.

Not allowed to bitch about spoilers when the official promos for the following season are beginning.

And I’m completely cool with pretty much any and all “look but don’t touch” exploration.

I would love to see the look on your face when research is published in the coming years linking autism to pesticides and herbicides on our vegetables. Seriously, I’ve seen the draft presentation of findings by one of the lead researchers. It has occurred to more than one of their team members that the anti-vaxxer…

I made the correlation between feeding cows hormones and early onset of puberty when I was still in high school, in the mid-nineties, without internet. I believe this didn’t become a popular scientific opinion until many years later. It’s what I was interested in studying in college. I find it astounding that to some…

As player two to my frenemy growing up, he would kick my ass in the game and refuse to show me anything that might actually help me get better at the game, much as he did outside of games.

I agree that the lightning cable is great, but it’s ridiculously overpriced, and are there any non-Apple products that use it? Tesla has opened up their schematics for other manufacturers to use, so why create another charging station or connector type?

You should check out Anime Central which just wrapped yesterday (and oddly I have not seen coverage of here or on io9 proper). 80%+ of the attendees cosplay and have no problem spending tons of cash on mostly imported merch.

If Jim Burleson (who I have had many non-con related conversations with, not even realizing he was one of the main SFCC organizers) had been as clear in his facebook post as he was in the interview here, it would not have been an issue. I’ve attended the World Cosplay Summit and those participants have paid their…

On the other hand, if this was happening to people offshoring their savings for tax avoidance, those people whose accounts earn more interest in a day than I make in a year, then I would feel less sympathetic. But for the rest of us who work our asses off instead of moving money around and manipulating values, fuck…

It’s referred to as a thin-client. And I frequently wonder why more businesses do not use them. It would save a shitload of headaches. Windows specifically makes embedded versions of their operating systems that are hard-coded into the memory. When I was an IT intern for the state (technically), I got to design build…

For me, the Hodor origin doesn’t even bother me, from a storytelling perspective. It was devastatingly heartbreaking to watch, but it fit for me.

Maybe you can go back in time and un-enjoy it. It’s fucking ridiculous to be disappointed in yourself for enjoying something that legitimately brought you joy and pleasure.

Though as well as I understand, far less common than rectal cancer from HPV.

Stannis’ castle, Dragonstone, has plenty of dragon glass. At least that’s what I remember from the books.

Not to mention, abortion has been around a very, very long time, so plausibly it wouldn’t even be uncommon knowledge.

I put my phone on mute at home. Well, my phone’s always muted, but I’m always near a computer. But just in case anyone does text me, I’ve installed airdroid, now I don’t have to type on my phone.
