All the time around here... what, do you think I would just come on the internet and lie?

Lol! That's hilarious!

Happens to people all the time on the bayou here, but we probably don't have conservation instructors, so I suppose the sentence is still unique.

I am totally just putting this out there and not trying to be annoyingly pedantic, just fyi. The AP rule for capitalization in this case is that this is a title, so if we are speaking of a specific don, it would be capitalized but if just a generic don, it would not be capitalized. So a random don, but Don Corleone. Unless there is a source for mafia style that contradicts this standard rule of course.

I have, but that has nothing to do with my previous comment. My friend, your original post (that you have now edited, don't move the goalposts just because you want to fight) made broad generalizations. My comment was an attempt to help you learn how to reflect and be critical about your beliefs: I thought that might be something a user with the name "open_mind" would appreciate. Fuck me, right? Well done on showing everyone what an open mind you have. Learn how to question yourself when you feel like fighting and spreading negativity. Just because others didn't react the way you expected doesn't make them wrong or bad, and being a dick to someone who was trying to have a constructive conversation is spreading negativity--what you were originally complaining about.

Part of having an open mind is trying to consider your personal biases and where you lack knowledge and expertise. One of the reasons you are getting negative responses is that you stated a very broad generalization that simply isn't true. Life is not black and white, it is grey and invincible against simple explanations.

Of course! I hope you find a way to enjoy Who. It is a lovely universe. The other idea would be to look into Big Finish audio---they do a lot of interesting Who stuff.

Well, I appreciate your perseverance! I certainly hope we get some kind of resolution, or at least the color wears off and we all just forget about it. I really don't want this to become a trend.

Wow, Malala is so cool. She is my kind of celebrity: could not give a shit less about movie stars, but I would totally fanperson all over Malala. She might actually make me care about sports! (But probably not.)

Well, I am glad(?) it just seems to be the one. Did anything come of the idea that it could be deicing solution from a plane? I kind of checked out of this drama for a bit.

If you like the lore but watching it makes you want to stab your eyes out, look into the Target novelisations. They are mostly faithful to what was on the TV, and you get to use your imagination instead of BBC's production values. They were usually written by the same person who wrote the script. I actually prefer the novels for several stories and was really, really disappointed when I finally had a chance to see them. A big bonus is the Target books are pretty cheap and easy to find used.

This is so crazy. This picture looks just like the OP... please tell me this could still be the same single snowy and this isn't becoming a thing people do to snowies...
