What's on the idiot box?
To be fair the stunt work is not that stellar in any of the major fights.

What's on the idiot box?
Just sayin', it's waaaay past just getting on with the ice zombie progression. I mean, seasonal differences in westeros vis a vis real earth notwithstanding winter has been comming for 6 and a half years. They needed a scene where Daenerys starts to get it, the majestic music was completely off the mark, it was like they just failed to create suspense or Epos, or whatever they were going for.

Yeah she doesn't look lethal at all. Also what was the cave painting scene for. Like we need more foreboding about the bloody ice zombies at this point. Crippled Stark is boring as hell. Please no more flashbacks or flash-forwards, or flash-sideways.

Politics - Episode 9: The Lurking Fear
The guy who disobeyed orders and advanced to the Chinese border. I wonder how that would fly today, generals just deciding on their own what countries to invade or draw into a conflict.

GRIMOIRE has arrived
A guy I know from work has been working on a game for almost 4 years now. The last year has been testing and polish. It's a side view shooter with a ballistic trajectory gimmick, you have to shoot where you think the other players are going to be. It has an inventory and items and skill progression and whatnot but otherwise a pretty simple premise. One guy with an hour to spare a day can't move mountains. But.. you can decide to be one of the guys who finish rather than the 90% who give up. All it takes is obstinacy. My hats off I hope he learned something, no I will not be buying it.

Somehow I hadn't made the connection that the small towns were real places. Prim even looks like Prim. That's it, I'm off to find the brotherhood hideout.

Are you absolutely sure you are not downplaying Nazism just a tiny bit with that comparison.

You could just laugh at the dumb reviewer instead of making it about 'society' There is no outrage that Dunkirk doesn't have enough women and minorities, but you can still pretend and get clicks. This is Alt right bait tailored to generate a specific reaction. Are you claiming that the review I referred to doesn't exist? No, I'm saying he's trolling for clicks. People trolling for clicks don't believe in anything.- What's so funny right now?

Originally they were going to go with an all new cast and concept for stranger things season 2, but they brought back the kids because of popular demand. Pretty cool. Westworld... eeeeeeehh.. I'm tired of long convoluted plots.- Politics Episode 8: WWF Edition
The definition of Civil Asset Forfeiture from Wikipedia: Civil forfeiture in the United States, also called civil asset forfeiture or civil judicial forfeiture[1] or occasionally civil seizure, is a controversial legal process in which law enforcement officers take assets from persons suspected of involvement with crime or illegal activity without necessarily charging the owners with wrongdoing. While civil procedure, as opposed to criminal procedure, generally involves a dispute between two private citizens, civil forfeiture involves a dispute between law enforcement and property such as a pile of cash or a house or a boat, such that the thing is suspected of being involved in a crime. To get back the seized property, owners must prove it was not involved in criminal activity. In all other aspects of our jurisprudence the citizen is innocent until proven guilty. Until it comes to that one thing the goddamned government loves above all other things: money. So they just made themselves this little exception to the 4th Amendment and told us to go f--k ourselves if we don't like it. Both the Democrats AND the Republicans love this. In fact only one political party in all the land of the free has fought against this legalized theft: http://www.lp.org An example. Driving down the road with 100.000 in cash, being stopped by the police who seize your money on suspicion that you acquired it illegally. You now have the burden of proof that you are not a drug dealer. How exactly would you do that. The truth might not be good enough. - Politics - Episode 9: The Lurking Fear
