OH MY GOD IT'S BENNETT!!! (who is a great author; you should all read his books.)

Monogamy sucks. Best thing I ever did for my married sex life was "opening up" just before we married. I'm in a relationship with my first serious boyfriend and my husband has slept with my best friend. Most of my friends think we're nuts... yet we're the only long-term couple among our group of friends who aren't…

Because off the top of my head, that's the only one I know of that we have easily available/accessable written records from, and it's also one of the most recent. Yes, everyone did the same awful crap, but if you're going to point someone to a set of books and say "there, start there" chances are you're going to be…

Just out of curiosity, why do you single out European colonialism? The Mongols did their share of Empire building, the Mediterranean region was nothing but empires rising and falling and colonizing each other, Egypt took over most of North Africa.. Turks took over most of the Middle East.. Empires and Colonialism…

The only valid question here is "what if thier common cold is our Black Plague" everything else is something we have to deal with today when moving out of our home societies/cultures. And if we look at our history, so is the "what if thier common cold is our Black Plague." We don't really need to have a "what if…

They did...

or we could watch...

Hey, save it for Drunken Hookup Failures.

Rangers decided to start getting cute in the 3rd, there were times when they were down in the Kings end and due to overthinking or hesitation, they weren't taking available shots.

Correct. It's a loss in a series where the Rangers have very small margin for error. But this is a series where people said it would be over in five tops and the Rangers forced the Kings to OT. People are harping on the third period as their "told you so" but the actual game didn't hash that out accurately. "Chances"…

Rangers also had a few great chances but couldn't finish.

If you think that was the "must win" moment of the Rangers season, you've watched exactly one Rangers game this season.

Do the first two periods not count? Has anyone lost an away game? This is just following the narrative without actually watching the games, which is standard NHL procedure. Lundqvist gives them a chance to win every game, the Kings had to play the best period+ ever just to score a goal in their own building.

Even though the Kings were at home, last night felt like a must win for the Rangers. The Kings for two periods looked like they were still regaining their legs from a brutal series with the Hawks, while the Rangers looked fast and fresh.
