The other option is that some of them are drawing a distinction between watching TV and having the TV on while they are in the room.

I’m unsure about turning this into a TV show. The beauty of the short story/novel is that it has a definitive coursed plot, a beginning and end. It’s succinct and deeply examines existentialism on an extra-solar scale, rather than just humans themselves, while also doing a few pokes and prods at human nature.

Yeah, chiming in to agree with Sidestepper. The aliens land and leave without ever apparently noticing us. That's where the Roadside Picnic title comes from. They left stuff behind as if they were a family stopping for a picnic, and their artifacts are as weird and incomprehensible to us as our technology would be to…

Straight from the book, or remake of Stalker (the Soviet film, not the game)?

Yeah I remember reading Feast of Crows was just a long tough slog for me it was just so fucking boring having to read all the Breinne chapters.

Jon listened to Sansa but didn’t follow her advice. The moment he got on the horse to get to Rickon, he played into Ramsay’s game.

Not Leroy Jenkinsing into the field in the open is one possible outcome of her advice.

They used to do it through labor like roadworks but that has its own host of issues.

I’m fine paying for the incarceration of violent criminals. We should be far more pissed about the amount we pay to incarcerate non-violent drug offenders, which costs us much more and does very little to actually keep society safe.

Q: Did the mistakes you made when you were a kid involve you shooting a person with a gun? (y/n)

If you have answered “y” for the above question, please report to a local police station and tell them about it. Your past probably SHOULD be haunting you.

(I kinda get whatcha mean though. But she fuckin' killed a guy.)

She killed a man over a video game system because he resisted when they tried to rob him.

Murder isn’t some “oh well, kids will be kids” mistake like smoking pot behind the bleachers. She made a conscious choice to take an innocent man’s life.

Wow, that is pretty lenient. She can get out at 58 (or earlier) and live free for a good amount of time, which is a lot more of a chance at life than her victim got.

Like I’ve said before, Leto’s antics show that he doesn’t actually understand the character.
