Sure, I get that. But the main problem is you can’t answer the question “what do we call these weapons?” We need a term. And when there isn’t a good existing term to use to refer to a thing or a class of things, people will grab at what ever language makes sense. Calling an AR -15 a semi-automatic assault rifle makes…

I don’t think you understood my comment. I understand the problems with (and limitations of) both the term “assault rifle” which is too narrow and “assault weapon” which is too vague. But then what is the term for the sorts of guns we are talking about? And if there isn’t one, why is expanding the definition of…

If assault rifle is not accurate, what is? The AR-15 is a rifle. It is also an assault weapon. Calling it an assault rifle makes sense, even if there is also another category of things called assault rifles, which are fully automatic and banned. To me, using fully and semi automatic to distinguish the AR-15 from other…

If you really agree with what she’s saying, consider putting aside your pedantry for the greater good. It only serves to undermine what you say you agree with- that is, banning AR-15 and similar weapons. They have come to be known, in common parlance, as assault rifles, even if manufacturers and gun enthusiasts don’t…

I am not into that eye makeup. I would totally do his IRL brother, Alexander, though (even though he’s not my usual type!)

Yes. Athelstan. I like small and bookish.

Almost right. He’s giving.

I like skinny bookworms (aka Aethelstan, and Frank on Outlander). Too many muscles make me uncomfortable. Uncle Benjen’s just fine, though.

The casting is definitely weird in this as it was a Canal Plus production, with half of the cast speaking with strong French accents, and I also found the plot to be a little nonsensical.

Those Spoiler Alerts were meant to be somewhat sarcastic.

I watched the series already and the only scene I can think of that might be making people uncomfortable is a (SPOILER ALERT) same-sex blowjob scene, which ends with some implied cum swallowing, IIRC. I wonder if it is the same-sex-ness that has The Mirror up in arms.

Yeah - the eyebrows definitely play a part.

Okay, I’ve answered my own question. It seems like it’s her nose that is so different. It used to have a little point-down at the end (a signature part of her look) and that appears to be gone now - her nose is more upturned.

I can not recognize her in that video. She looks more like Kyra Knightley than Gwen Stefani to me. Is it just makeup?

My thoughts exactly! Plus the post by her bff is full of reminders of her accomplishments (basically her IMDb) and that’s the sort of post I’d make for my friend who was trying to cope with something like this.

“Not quite the same?” Male circumcision does not reduce sexual pleasure and replace it with pain, is not done to seven year olds with a knife on the floor, and has some positive effects (reduction of HIV and std transmission rates), while FGM has none.

Okay, my bad. Great job trolling on F&R FC’s behalf, though :)

Huh? You “fixed” her sentence? How is that not correcting her?

Maybe you should become more familiar with the author, and the publication, and its overall style, before you go correcting.

I practically shouted during the episode “James! Stop flirting with Jennifer Lawrence! What about Anne-Marie!”
