Re: Game Of Thrones: Final Season --SPOILERS!
I refuse to recognize any episode after 8.3 as canon. That's the true end of the show. Everything else is just pandering. This is the only episode based on GRRM’s writing, which is why it’s mostly above average. It’s really weird that you’ve got such a bug up your ass about the creators being some ...

Re: Game Of Thrones: Final Season --SPOILERS!
That was good (actually above average for post season 6 GOT) right up until Dany changed her variable from VALUE_OF_HUMAN_LIFE = 1 To VALUE_OF_HUMAN_LIFE = 0 At the tolling of the bells. I mean, the ram/dragon had touched the wall, but still. My girl suggested that they killed the dragon last episod...

Re: THQ Nordic does AMA on 8chan
So, looking at the actual AMA (and no, 8chan is not delisted from google RPS editor, you inbred halfwit), it's surprisingly non-cancerous. Certainly most of the questions were of a better quality than I would expect from Reddit, for instance. The very beginning and the end of the thread were pretty ...

In any case, the homogenizing swarm called Atlanta (which doesn't have much to do with the actual city boundaries) is also constantly devouring the smaller towns and cities around it, tearing down their individual cultures in favor of suburbs whose sole function is to warehouse more Atlantans.

Yep, Atlanta is considered the center of the "dirty South." Most Atlanta area natives also consider themselves the center of the Universe. Which is why the other Georgia hates them. I have never heard anyone, screaming racist or not call Atlanta anything like that. It is considered a cent...

Re: Georgia politician publicly uses N-word as Atlanta suburb declares Confederate History Month
I don't think it's reasonable to call Griffin a suburb of Atlanta, it has its own local culture, it's almost an hour outside Atlanta, (an hour and a half with traffic) and it's on probably the least-populated side of Atlanta. But, in any case, what this article fails to mention is that the proclamat...

It's surprising what the bots will flag, though.
