I read everything, what’s wrong with everyone else?

I don’t think it’s so much that people expect GRRM to die soon – nevermind the fact that he’s well into his 70s and rumors about his health are irrepressible – as it is that the most recent book in the series was released thirteen years ago.

Between the first two books, there were two years, then another two years for book 3, then five years, then six. It’s simply a matter of an unfavorable mathematical progression. Even if by some miracle he drops Winds of Winter tomorrow, the planned final book would seemingly take at least as long again to finish, and given the difficulty of endings, probably much longer than that. GRRM could live to 100 and we would be lucky to see him complete this series.

“Soon” doesn’t even come into it.

Universal Pictures bought the rights to make Lego movies, but that didn’t include the rights to any of the popular characters from The Lego Movie or its spin-offs. Those stayed with Warner Brothers (even though WB can no longer use Lego, so those characters are functionally dead).

Universal also didn’t get the rights to any of the franchise characters typically associated with Lego, so they can’t use Boba Fett, or Batman, or Gandalf, or Harry Potter, or even Jack Sparrow.

So they’re sitting on this huge IP and have no way to actually use it. And so Pharrell comes along and says he wants to make a documentary about himself, and they say nah that’s boring, nobody wants to see that. Then someone realizes they’re going to lose the rights to Lego if they don’t make a movie with them soon. And here we are.

Well that’s pretty rude. Kathy Bates is an attractive person and doesn’t deserve this kind of slander.

It’s not bold to assume that, actually.

I mean, it is fucking boring.

Hard not to be cynical when we’re treated like shit because our parents, grandparents, and dipshit neighbors keep enabling the billionaire oligarchs in stealing our money and our time. Yeah I’m fucking cynical, mate.

Had one that let you accumulate one sick day per month, but if you didn’t use them they rolled over. First few years I didn’t use all of them, and then one year I used thirteen sick days in one year (most of them for kids home sick from school) and got lightly scolded for it in a performance review.

I wanted to say “Bitch why do you allow rollover at all if you don’t want us using more than we can possibly accumulate in one year?!” Looked it up in the contract and it said nothing at all about maximum sick days usable in a year. Of course if you have sick days left when you leave, they pay out at one third, but FUCK that, I earned that time, I’m not taking a one third payout. And they didn’t EVER give merit raises for those years I barely called out sick.

So the next year I took even MORE sick days, and afterwards made sure not to leave any unused, even if I wasn’t sick, because fuck them.

Happy beanniversary. The standard gift is beans.

I just do a standard word search for things like “soul”, “possessions”, and “first born” before clicking Agree.

Well now I’m just hungry for an omelette.

This man is 100% a sex pest.

That’s Lemmy’s hallmark. We’re lame, but at least we’re not reddit.

She’s just the left’s equivalent of a thoughtless single issue voter: stuck on her one point like a flagpole sitter, obstinate and blind to the realities of the normal people on the ground below. All of her tweets are like “bOtH sIdEs ArE jUsT aS bAd”.

Well that’s great Caitlin, how nice for you that nothing would change for you personally if Trump won. How awesome to be in such a privileged position that from your high post they both look tHe SaMe. Sounds like a comfy place to spend your days yelling at the people down in the mud.

This is the internet comment equivalent of gematria.

Was that shirt official campaign merch to begin with? People make their own t-shirts all the time.

Hey, we’re not supposed to use that word anymore, no matter how accurate it is.

“What is: ‘Ken you are a huge knob’?”

Exactly. Cat people are rational and considerate of their neighbors.

Oh of course, the list of horrors is endless. Philosophers desperate to maintain the existence of a benevolent deity have wrestled for two thousand years to solve the problem of evil, and none of them ever came any closer than shrugging and presuming that there must be an unsurmountable flaw in our understanding of the universe that blinds us to his plan. A flaw in us, his allegedly perfect creation. Whoops, there’s that nagging contradiction again.
