You know, you kinda had a point and then it just degenerated into focusless angst. The part where you ignore the most relevant example because it disagrees with your theory is kind of important. Let me guess. The way to fix our problems is to mandate representation in the Congress along...

This is one area that Crimea assuredly handles better than us. Have you fucking SEEN their Attorney General? If a Russian shithole can figure this out, I'm not sure what the hold up is over here either.

That's why he's Araysar and not Brbysbr.

Why wouldn't you just read the Upanishads? They're really not hard to read. Easier than the Gita. The Gita starts to get really dense and difficult. I most recently gave up on Molly Fyde. It's hard to believe that series was written by the same man that wrote the wool series -- and that...

Probably just a cyst. It seems like whenever a woman complains about one of her girl parts hurting -- yep, it's a cyst. Not that I know jack shit about it. Just you hear "ovarian cyst" so damn often. Waaaaaay more often than the other nasty stuff that could cause girlparts to hurt. (The...

Yeah, I'd say the strip mine is a little bit worse. They do put the earth back though afterwards. Well, I mean, they're supposed to. That's one of the conditions of allowing the strip mining. I guess if we're being honest they probably won't.

This is the type of story where you can't think about the big picture. The whole thing of it is that he's not telling any particular story, as such. He's describing an environment or a "World" and he's doing that by telling a lot of little stories. You sort of have to view the thing as an...

We might just have a problem. NSA ALERT JIHAD TERRORIST BACKPACK BOMB HOW DO I NUKE NSA ALERT I am doing my civic duty. Flag the entity which goes by "Lumie" for further observation.

More likely caused by ridiculous amounts of electricity. You'll never convince me that living near those high tension power lines (the really immense ones, the backbones) is good for a person. You'd almost think that's why they have their own zones and right of ways. But in this context...

Lumie is insane but most likely harmless. You don't see a LOT of fat 40 year olds going on killing sprees. They tend to kill their wives and girlfriends, sure. Maybe even their boss. But it's the young men that have the urge to murderfy random people. If you make it to 40 you've had...

The beetle thing was just a general metaphor for the nature of life and the cruelty we find in it. Facing his execution, Tyrion is looking for anything to hang a purpose on. Jaime is decent enough to be honest and tell him, "I don't know." It's easy to overthink that beetle thing I guess...

I'm glad I stuck through the first few episodes of that show. It takes a couple to click, but when it does zany kneeslapping ensues. Seriously though, some seriously fucking funny and creative stuff. First few episodes though -- not so much. They took a chance doing it that way but it...

I want to subscribe to Ask A Grown Up's RSS feed.

Yeah, that's how he's introduced by Ser Friendzone. They do make a point of mentioning it.

All of a sudden, I really fucking like Sansa.

While mine is not precisely my avatar, it's pretty fuckin close. I ain't no fuckin blonde.

Yeah, that hasn't been necessary in like 10 years. hehe. But that doesn't mean you can't do it anyway just to strike the fear of god into a 17 year old.

I don't think you can really watch it like you watch porn. It crosses some line that I don't understand and becomes performance art. I don't understand foot fetishes either. Ok, maybe I can understand humping some girls feet... I mean, c'mon. eeeeh, c'mon. You know what I'm talkin about...

Germans pooping on each other. It is every bit as awesome as it sounds like it would be.

You ever get diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and you don't already have one -- make a will. Just sayin. Odds ain't great.

It's actually the lymph. Lymphoma means one specific thing, but that one thing has to be refined to be meaningful. None of them are good news. To really get into the meat of what is wrong with Suin and what steps he can be taking... that's not our place. It would make everyone...

I didn't even think the Thrawn Trilogy was that good. It was written like a movie, so I can see how it earns the gold star. But I wasn't reading a movie. I was reading a book. It wasn't written like a book. Terrible set of books, but I can respect it for what it actually was: An incredibly...

I don't understand where the hair even comes from. Like literally I'll brush my cat and then the next day there's even MORE hair. What the christ. Mutant hair-factory. P.S. roofing sucks and is horrible. It makes you no less of a man to pay a mexican to do that shit.

There are those two stereotypes about lesbians. The attention seeking one and then the salt of the earth one. I've found the salt-of-the-earth one to be more accurate myself. Most lesbians I've ever met just seem to have something to prove. And they'll work harder than a man to prove it...

Why do you keep dodging the question of "What part of getting pumped full of semen is it that you like best?" Hmmm?

The lady has a point.

That's why we like him. Victory laps aren'tfree. Keeps you strong. As soon as you're weak, Zzzyyxbro is gonna jump in and burn the fuck outta you. And there's nothing to be done about it, because the worst thing of it all is that he'll be right.

Ideological assumptions serve no one, they only serve the ideology. I know people who are too fucking smart to be Tea Partiers... but Tea Partiers they are. No one is immune to this shit. I believe plenty of stupid shit just because it pleases me to believe it. And because fuck you. But...

Its the white mans burden. Too heavy. Too heavy. My favorite is still "Faulty Armor". It's such a terrible slur in every way. Like as a slur it's just bad. It doesn't make any sense at all. It's raw emotive self-pleasing "I'm better than you just because I was BORN". And this is what makes...

Rather than taking a thing which you think must be true and looking for ways to support it, take a thing which you suspect is true and look for ways to determine whether it is or not. It's a subtle thing but an important thing. And when you take the second approach you'll find the results to...

That tends to happen when you allow the conclusion to drive the support.

I've never been able to watch the whole thing. Individual episodes I like. I like the actors. I like the look of it. I don't really have any shit to toss at it. Just something about it doesn't really click. I've never felt like sitting down and watching two in a row. That show is sort...

Man... you don't talk about race politics with a black friend unless they really ARE a friend. Because that shit is gonna get nasty fast and the only thing that will stop it from devolving into a fistfight is mutual respect. You NEVER talk about gender politics. That one safeguard does not...

The real tragedy of social science is that it attracts minds that might otherwise make fairly respectable scientists. It bothers me less because I've accepted the observation that such a thing as "A Good Priest" is possible and not at all a contradiction in terms. And there are some...

It's not the racism that offends anyone. "Stuff White People Like" makes more of us (white people) laugh than it offends. You call me a cabbage-lovin, bible thumpin, fag hating, protestant fuck... you pretty much got my number. It's stuff like "a black kid got murdered for defending...
