So, Lord Praxton appears to have hair under his hood, but when "he" "dies", that person is completely bald. Screw up...or clue? I believe the person we see die is actually Elorin.

Absolutely. With Comic Sans, it doesn't really have the emphasis that it would in book form with capitalized A (and several words are bolded before even on the same page, so that's not special emphasis either) Essentially you only got it if you all ready knew it.

Rust and Ruin! You beat me to it! I'll have to use my back up, Spaceballs reference instead! I see your wand is as big as mine. Now, let's see how well you handle it! Avada Kedabra!

Cyanide

I think you think correctly

The second half of this season was fine, but was mostly "meh" to me. A lot of it seemed to be mere "wish fulfillment". I am not a fan of prophecies in stories. It usually ends up one of two ways : turns out they were true or they are self fulfilling. Yawn.

But... that's Cyanide & Happiness!

*Throws up hands in resignation*

I know, right? Talk about a hell dimension. ..

I liked Ancillary Justice. I haven't read the sequels, but I plan to. What's unfortunate is that a lot of praise for the book is for its stylistic choices and not the story. In other words, if you don't like the style, I doubt you'll like the book.

Yeah, B&N is getting pretty bad at being reliable

No need to! It'll seep into your dimension soon enough... like that Jorge Luis Borges short story! Mwahaha!

All lies, the friend does not love, the crush's baby is ugly, the other friend seeks its own interests and you don't have corn chips! Sniff... I remember a world with corn chips! But that was before the singularly and subsequent robot uprising. ..

Reposting to the proper topic this time! The following issue occurs when I use the forum on my phone: if I have a quote box object in my reply and decide I don't need it, I can not get rid of the quote box. I can change the text/delete the text within the quote, but the box remains. If I go to another thread without submitting and come back to it later, the quote box willl still be there. Essentially, to clear the "add reply" area of the quote box, I need to submit it. I use Google Chrome on a Samsung Galaxy S5

Because I don't share stories about my father, not even for my 2000th post spectacular!

Are there books about mentally healthy serial killers?

Waitress: Enjoy your meal! Me: You too!

No book stores carry Dynamite comics, and the comics stores refuse to sell anything new before Wednesday. Grrr, says I.

Correct, and I think you hit it right where the concern started. We, as readers, are not entitled to get any book. Or any series. We are not entitled to get installments in whatever we consider a timely fashion. We are not entitled to compel an author to work on one project instead of another. There's nothing wrong with grousing or excitement, but come on! There are healthier ways to direct your energies then to play doctor on a fan forum.

Rick & Morty

Well... Eat a medium rare steak and drink a good beer, then you can keep your man card

Hmm, well can't quite get rid of the object, but I can at least type outside of it! That's progress!

One bird is called a killdeer because it apparently sounds like it is saying "kill deer!" I don't hear it.

Each of your examples, though, IS an example of a phobia. As I said before, a reason to fear is not necessarily a rational reason to fear. For a real life example: a philosophy professor of mine claimed an irrational fear of flying. The reason/source of this fear was that he saw a plane that crashed as it landed. As a result, even though he knows all the statistics, knows it is the safest way to travel, he has a fear of flying that incapacitate him in that regard due to a traumatic event. He has a reason, it may even resonate with us, but it is not rational.
