I didn't make it that far in the series, but yeah the summary of that one was sure something. Hell of a thing.

CharlestheHammer posted:Though I doubt this was in any way intentional, especially considering when they were written. It's clearly intentional if you read the books. I just think people (including me) just randomly watch the films out of sequence because they happen to be on the tv and think it's some sort of formula as opposed to an on going story.

"Guys, when is the last time a lovely male driven fantasy book was popular I mean really?" Meanwhile Game of Thrones is a mega hit on tv and no-one seems to give a poo poo about its terrible gender politics or portrayals of relationships the way they do about Twilight. How mysterious.

It's time to move on from Twilight and Conan, I think everybody has expressed themselves adequately at this point. Here's some harmless social media idiocy, less due to the participants and more that this buzzfeed quiz exists

He forgot that the werewolf said he's going to to marry the baby when she grows up and the baby will grow up and become legal super fast. Also the baby has a stupid name.

I've never understood this mentality. My wife makes about 4x more than I do and I couldn't be happier. We'd be living in a dumpster if it wasn't for her superior earning potential.

One of the questions interested me, about how he would feel if I earned more than him. He said "That would be AWESOME!" because he doesn't feel the need to out compete me to assert his manliness. We never had that gender hierarchy and it's probably partly why we've been together for 18 years now.

I don't know where you went to school, but it's a fact that - no matter WHERE you are - horses cannot use social media. I know what you're thinking, but that was a TV show.

We never had that gender hierarchy and it's probably partly why we've been together for 18 years now. The other nice thing is that if you end up married to someone who is legitimately threatened by your career or earning potential you can just let your marriage explode in your early 30s and subsequently then have your pick of cute 20s dudes who are totally on board with helping with your dog and housework while you are busy working. Having someone be onboard with helping you because they acknowledge your time is important regardless of traditional roles is so much better than my weird lovely bitter marriage where my time was always worth less to him than his so all chores and tasks defaulted to me, even while I tried to build my business.
