The Pitters' Place

BruceSmith78

Yeah, I'm not reading his book. I'm too lazy to spend my leisure time reading non-fiction, not to mention so far what I've read on this thread hasn't exactly been a ringing endorsement.

In regards to your last sentence, my thought was that when you agree with DA, DA might wanna rethink his position.

BruceSmith78

I don't think what I said was really that bad. It could have been worded a lot better, though. I mean, either it's terribly worded or you and Peter Singer are batshit crazy. What I just read was, "If someone's an inconvenience to you, their life isn't worth a goddam and you should just kill th...

Well now I know why my mom never wanted me to read It. We had just about every Stephen King book and I read most of them, but I never read It, partly because I wasn't allowed to when I was younger, and partly because I tried reading it later and didn't get past the first few pages. Also, this thread...

Every article I've clicked on, I've foolishly ventured into the comments section and immediately contracted cancer.

I probably wouldn't believe you.

BruceSmith78

It wasn't really his birthday. I mean there's a chance it was, like a 1/365.25 chance, but I made this thread because of his post on the 9/1 birthday thread.

The biggest problem I see with this idea that Sansa barely had a eureka moment in the last episode is how Arya would suddenly be all warm and fuzzy with Sansa if she wasn't acting earlier. So she wised up to Littlefinger and now Arya suddenly does a complete 180 about shit that didn't even have anyt...

BruceSmith78

Fuck, you're old.

j/k, you're a good dude, hope you hang in there for a bunch more of these

BruceSmith78

It's dumb. I think McGregor and Mayweather are playing everyone for suckers. It's $99.99 on PPV to watch the greatest boxer of our time, who is well past his prime, toy with a great fighter for a while. It's definitely a circus, and probably not worth ten bucks if you're looking for a quality boxing...

BruceSmith78

The theory posits that they are speaking loudly intentionally, and the door's open so one could assume Littlefinger or one of his spies is eavesdropping. Arya's the type of character that would know when she's being followed or watched. They wouldn't want to make it obvious for the audience, or it w...

BruceSmith78

This is potentially a spoiler, but it's really just fan theory at this point, albeit solidly based on evidence. So if you're reading this, what do you all think of the theory that Arya knows Littlefinger's trying to play her, and she and Sansa are setting a trap for Littlefinger? A popular theory is...

BruceSmith78

I guess I don't know how to use the internet. I tried to search for the leaked episode and all I ended up doing was stumbling across a spoiler. Fucking fuck.

BruceSmith78

About the bastard thing, if there are no other true-born heirs, the bastards are next in line to take over their father's house.

BruceSmith78

I'd argue it was worse because those dudes were into slavery so it was easier to justify (for each life she took, she set hundreds free)... These guys, on the other hand, refused to bend to Dany's will Yeah, maybe more justifiable, although some of those guys might have been trying to take down sla...

Was burning two captured enemies alive worse than when she crucified all those dudes back in Slaver's Bay?

BruceSmith78

I thought the title said George R.R. Martin died at first and I was like "Oh, fuck, no more ASOIAF." And then I thought to myself, well, it's not like he was ever going to finish it anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter. I think the only way it will be finished at this point is if Martin d...

@Rax - You've never seen Mighty Ducks? Or Skulls? Or Dawson's Creek? Or Fringe?

@Maz - I totally see the resemblance, but I hadn't noticed it before.

BruceSmith78

Well in the books it's strongly suggested Joffrey did it, but the show is at least hinting it was Littlefinger, although I don't think they confirmed anything. It's entirely possible that in both versions of this story Littlefinger manipulated Joffrey into hiring an amateur assassin to kill Bran. Wa...

The Old School clip is what I thought of when Opiate said young people won't know about Total Eclipse of the Heart, but Old School came out like 15 years ago or some shit.

To DA's point, most of the music I listen to came out well before I was born.

This is all I can think of when I read the thread title.

Yup, that's immediately what popped into my head when I read the title as well.

Way too far North for me.

Yeah, I was gonna say, slander and perjury are lies that are illegal, or at least can have legal consequences. Also, hate speech laws are basically laws that target harmful and dangerous lies, and I think in some cases lying can constitute rape, like pretending to be your identical twin to sleep wit...

BruceSmith78

Dany was too overpowered, so something had to happen to even the odds a bit. I admit, I expected Euron to try to snag Sansa or Tyrion, or even Lady Tyrell as his "gift" for Cersei. Wasn't expecting it to be the queen of Dorne. So who will be in charge of Dorne with Ellaria captured and he...

They target people they think will be sympathetic to their sob story. A rich person in a designer suit is less likely to sympathize with someone struggling to make ends meet. Also, I echo your sentiments about scammers deterring people from offering help to those who really need it. I am approached ...

Not really a fan of tattoos or piercings. Facial piercings are particularly off-putting for me, but I know nobody goes in to get a piercing like, "I wonder what Bruce will think of this," so I keep my distaste to myself, except in this thread, because you sort of asked.

BruceSmith78

That last sentence came across as exactly the type of condescending atheist remark you described in the OP. When I say "very religious", I'm thinking of the fundamentalist religious people who are so prominent around here, who tend to also be flag-waving die hard Republicans, who hate homo...

BruceSmith78

In my circles atheist is still a dirty word, but not for the same reasons as you mentioned. It's more the amoral, baby-eating type thing. People are still very religious here, so I don't go around calling myself an atheist.

BruceSmith78

Too late to take it back now. We have to have a serious religious debate, complete with personal insults and references to Hitler.

BruceSmith78

I also had no idea who Ed Shereen was. My wife later asked me if he came out, and I remembered seeing a story about a new casting choice for the arch-maester and figured it was him. Then she was like, "no, he was supposed to be in a scene with Arya," and I thought of someone else - the dud...

BruceSmith78

Spoiler alert, Calvinism is the only way an omnipotent, omniscient creator makes any sense. God just created play things and enjoys punishing some of them for turning out exactly as He created them.

BruceSmith78

Arya's arc is the most interesting at this point. And how do you argue with the Hound?

I guess probably not, but who the fuck knows these days. Kanye's crazy ass said he was gonna run for POTUS in 2020 at some awards show last year.

BruceSmith78

Isn't The Rock running for president in 2020?

BruceSmith78

Well I know they had paired up, and last time Liszt posted here she mentioned living in England, so I figure Whitey was part of the reason for her moving there, although she had been talking about relocating to Europe to practice dentistry for some time.

BruceSmith78

[cheers] Good to see you, although you probably don't remember me. Sadly, the board is a shell of its former self. Most of the posters had fallouts with each other and left, or lost interest and left. Liszt hooked up with Whitey and moved to England, but neither of them post here anymore. I think th...

Yeah, Chelsea Manning has been discussed several times right here on this board.

BruceSmith78

That's the same woman, saying hi to Chelsea Manning after discovering through Twitter that it was her picture that inspired Chelsea.

BruceSmith78

Looks like they didn't listen to my suggestions.

BruceSmith78

Yeah, I didn't get the Wonder Woman hype either. It's cool to see a superhero on screen kicking ass and stuff, and this movie actually had some comedy, so I guess that made it better than most DC movies, and it's great that a superhero movie with a female lead and female director is doing so well, b...
