It's true, the idea that the future could possibly be worse than the past is exclusively a 21st century idea.

Also, what is that supposed to be? Nuclear wasteland? Because that specific fear has been going on since the cold war.

Normal people don't feel the need to come up with a witty jab about every single thing they think is stupid. Not to mention, they don't announce this to the world.

Marvel studios should be proud of what they've done on Jessica Jones in making televisions first mentally retarded superhero.

It is a philosophy or life style yes but it is not one connected to good or evil until such time as one uses it as motivation that brings about deeds that are good or evil. Hitler used fear and racism to bring about a dark chapter of history. In the US racism brought political gains for politicians. But on the other end racism brought about civil right movements across the world that many say improved the world. Take it how u want.

This Qing Hua University student doing his homework, is on videocall with his girlfriend some distance away. The quiet two do not speak, their heads stooped doing their homework, once in a while they raise their heads to see the other person, then continue to stoop their head to study - this is the real love, love is not two persons dating outside, having meals together and saying romantic things to each other, tangled with each other from dawn til dusk, definitely not tightly holding each other's hands, love is trying to make each other be better.

I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and think it's about why no one ever just blocked their ears the many times they went after Kilgrave, as that's a thing the show almost never addressed. But I'm certain it's about her being a woman.

I've debated whether to write this, and whether to post it. Eventually I decided that (to borrow a slogan from LGBT activists), that SILENCE = DEATH. HuffingtonPost is running a series on domestic abuse, with the theme of: Why didn't you just leave? This strikes a deep chord with me because:
The year I spent married to Alison McBain was the more horrific year of hell of my life.
Alison McBain is the most despicable, disgusting, deceitful, foul and vile human being I have ever known.
Time for me to speak up and not hide the truth or the hurt.
She bit me once, leaving a mark that took four months to go away.
She shoved me out of the house once, into the cold darkness, without shoes or jacket or wallet or money.
She used to call me up at work and yell at me so loud I could hold the phone at arm's length and still hear her clearly.
She destroyed two of my paintings.
She said she was a better artist than me, because she once noticed a flaw in one of my paintings. Yes, she was a better artist, despite never having done a painting in her life.
She took credit for me winning my first Hugo. I only won, she said, because she'd help throw a couple parties for me at conventions and not because, well, I'd done art that people liked.
I bought her flowers once, out of the blue, and her response was to accuse me of having an affair, because in her world people only did nice things if they were hiding a crime or feeling guilty (I wasn't having an affair, of course).
She twisted every compliment I received into an insult.
She grabbed the glasses off my face and twisted them into a weird metal knot.
I poked her once in jest with a very slow-moving, very soft pillow and then she proceeded to tell everyone that I "hit" her. (That justified her biting me.)
Why did I marry her?
Because I was stupid and in love. And because I was yet unfamiliar with the term Borderline Personality Disorder, wherein a new boyfriend/girlfriend at first acts all loving and wonderful, and then a switch is thrown and they turn into a monster. Yup, that was her.
Why did I stay? Because I didn't want the shame of getting divorced. Because maybe I thought that I could be like Luke Skywalker, fishing the good out of Darth Vader. Or maybe I thought I could just tough it out.
We met at worldcon in 2003, and since we split (she eventually left me, thank God, telling more lies about me on her way out), and then left the community.
But now it seems like she's edging back into the sci-fi community, writing, going to conventions again. If she shows up at a convention I'm at, I will be compelled to call the police or inform the convention security of her insane and violently unpredictable behavior. She is dangerous.
I'll warn you now. If you see her, run far far away. She is loving evil incarnate.
