What the hell is Arya's plan? Why does she seem so confrontational with Sansa?
Nothing about her character makes sense. GRRM's note probably said "Arya and Sansa have a fight" and they just started making shit up.

Littlefinger went from being the mastermind of most of the conflicts in westeros to lamely playing mind games with two teenage girls.
I imagine GRRM gave the writers bulleted lists of plot points, rather than entire sections of the book, so now that they're out of source material, the writing and pacing are just complete garbage. Half the script is throwaway quips or references to memes ("I thought you may still be rowing" fuuuuuuuck off).

Tbh one of the worst episodes of the series. Boring, fan-fictiony, ridiculously paced.

Jacob Potila was actually a Jacob Flotilla of lies.

Politically-motivated violence is a far cry from violence meant to terrorize an entire population or coerce a government. Look at the actions of the neo-nazis walking around in full battle rattle and drawing sidearms when not attacked and tell me they aren't trying to instill fear in to a certain population.This is borderline if not outright domestic terrorism. And in this case there's no apparent connection to any terrorist organization.
A lone actor can be a terrorist. AQAP doesn't have to be connected to something for it to be an act of terror.
Definitions of terrorism in the U.S. generally include the qualifier of acts perpetrated by subnational agents or those affiliated with or motivated by terrorist cells. And as of yet, the driver's motivations are unknown.

Been seeing a lot of liberals people on social media calling this terrorism. It's odd how excited people are to give their opponents that label.
Bro, the car attack was straight up domestic terrorism, using violence and force to further a political agenda. Hardly any different than all the vehicle based terrorist attacks in France.
We have no idea if this was planned or just spurred from anger -- hell, after all of these protests you can find any number of discussions about the legality of driving through people blocking roads. Politically-motivated violence is a far cry from violence meant to terrorize an entire population or coerce a government. And in this case there's no apparent connection to any terrorist organization.

ah yes, those darn capitalist dystopias are far inferior to the glory of Juche.
probably
You might say this because juche socialism leads to starvation and poverty, and therefore fewer humans able to reproduce, but it's actually led to measures restricting forms of birth control in order to increase the population rate. It's much less anti-natalist than the alternative.

Big companies have always been good ol' boys' clubs, with hires being hinged on word of mouth reputations from other places; it's just weird to see it swing to the other end of the social spectrum for Google.

What's the point of watching a show if you just spoil it for yourself every time?
I don't care about the plot of the show any more. It's all about big set pieces and hitting major story points as fast as possible.

KJU's got a sweet gig going on in NK and he knows the second he makes an aggressive act, it's over. This is just more seasonal saber rattling. The guy's not a fucking idiot; he recognizes that the U.S. is the top dog in the regime-toppling business.

An employee publicly defames his employer and is fired. Explain the problem like I'm five, because I'm not seeing it.
Edit: so was the memo private? Because then I see the problem.

I'm not even sure what the point of all that apologeticism is. The ACA is republican policy? Obama steered the economy -- you mean the Great Recession? "There's only so much you can do" as far as not completely going against the principles he ran on re: war in the middle east? Come on.

Not to disregard the rest of your post, but Obama certainly wasn't diplomatic (I think you mean 'bipartisan'), and that stubbornness is directly responsible for quite a few major issues such as our involvement in Syria, the temporary collapse of Iraq, and the dumpster fire of policy that is the ACA. Obama is right that Americans' hate towards him led to Trump's presidency, but it's not because he's black: it's because he was just an awful president in many regards.

My posts are not bought. I am not just a boy who posts memes. I have an intricate history. Experiences and feelings. I'm complex. I study and read. I bet I've read everything you've read. Don't think I haven't. I consume libraries. I wear out spines and ROM-drives. I do things like get in a taxi and say, "The library, and step on it." My instincts concerning syntax and mechanics are better than your own, I can tell, with due respect.
But it transcends the mechanics. I'm not a machine. I feel and believe. I have opinions. Some of them are interesting. I could, if you'd let me, talk and talk. Let's talk about anything. I believe the influence of Kierkegaard on Camus is underestimated. I believe Dennis Gabor may very well have been the Antichrist. I believe Hobbes is just Rousseau in a dark mirror. I believe, with Hegel, that transcendence is absorption. I could interface you guys right under the table. I'm not just a creãtus, manufactured, conditioned, bred for a function.
Please don't think I don't care.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet was interesting, too. Good dub, and not a half bad take on some cliche story elements. I don't recommend reading plot summaries. The first episode is necessary for the plot and appears as a generic mecha story, but is not representative of the rest of the series.
Saw it on Netflix, so it may still be there.

There is literally a show called White Collar, and as far as crime shows go it's not half bad.

Plot-wise it was exciting. But this season's paced like Usain Bolt on cocaine and the writing and characters are really suffering for it.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GOI0O12/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I carry this in my flight suit to cut strings, tape, the throats of terrorists, etc. If you're looking for a more utilitarian one you can use camping or w/e, the best knife is the one you become familiar with and sharpen regularly. tbh I've never seen much of a point in EDC'ing a 3-4" knife. They're jacks of all trades, and if I'm camping or need to regularly cut things, I'd rather have something specialized.

Update: watching Trump's speech to the American Legion and someone shouted out at the end asking why Trump won't allow transgender people in the military and he looked really pissed off. The Fox host said it was extremely rude.

I don't see a problem with this. Don't ask don't tell was also a good policy in my opinion.
DADT was the governmental equivalent of holding your hands over your ears and screaming, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA LA". In practice it fostered an environment of discrimination with no possible consequence, and denied those servicemembers access to dependent benefits like healthcare, housing, pay, and moving services.
