RITA'S CXLIII: You’re Gonna Have to Serve Somebody

No shit.

and how did a comment about the last episode of the first season of GoT lead to a "if you're not into by the end of the second book" you may as well give up? missing the other conversations about the character arcs I am enjoying?

that's the default advice I give everyone that is just getting into the books....if you're not into it by Book 2 or even Book 3, you're not going to get into it

and where did I say that I was just getting into the books? I've started the third.


you should work on your reading comprehension or ability to follow a conversation.

But your default advice was useless. She was lamenting that the first season finale was underwhelming, nothing more. Your first post was about how she missed the point, and you didn't bother enlightening her (others did). She mentioned nothing about "not getting into it".

On another subject.

Why do some people claim they want an open and free dialogue then proceed to bash you for having a different viewpoint and insist you are wrong and ignorant?

Coolness. Just got notification I'm getting a free book on a Goodreads giveaway. It looks like it might be fairly interesting as well.

Race card, when no one mentioned race, and probably didn't even know that you're black: check.

For fuck's sake, man. Don't say stupid things and then complain about people calling you out on it.

And for Snarkbunny:

I took to setting up the beach hut for the kittehs, as they've been fighting over of the sky house recently. Fritters has taken ownership of the house while Donut is the new resident of the beach front property.

And apparently my last post got eaten....

I'm thinking the Canadian interface for Netflix is different than the US one because I can't seem to figure out how to put things in a queue.

Can't be that.
If it was the n-word, it would have 3 asterisks instead of 4.

Then again, I put that guy on ignore on the same day I put Cavey and for what I can see, I didn't miss much.

I see this wasnt the time to bring this up.

Heh, it's good that each of them can be king of their own castles. Glad to hear that they are getting use from them, though.

When Donut took up residence in the sky house, Fritters attacked the house. Then I remembered the beach house and set that up on the beach mat. Donut moved in right away and got cozy with it. Fritters has left him alone.

More like there really isn't a single answer, gryhpon.

It could be that the original person wanted an opportunity to be a dick, because some people use that technique to boost their self-esteem.

It could be that the different viewpoint is wrong and ignorant.

It could be the choice of language expressing the viewpoints, personal feelings and past history influencing how the replies are being interpreted, the mood of the replier, or a lot of other things.

It could also be people with the best of intentions, talking past each other because while they think they are being clear at explaining themselves, they aren't.

Hehe, does Donut play with the coconuts?
