It could also signal gastric issues. Either way, he should get it checked out.

^^^This, and I am pretty sure a plate of spaghetti would be considered non-lethal force. Unless it was my grandmother’s. That shit was terrible.

He restrained her, after she tried to escape the situation. She threw hot food on him so that she could get away. Self-defense should not be confused with abuse.

No it isn’t her job, and it shouldn’t be demanded of her, but pulling together and lifting each other up is more effective than “stay in your lane” feminism. She wasn’t speaking directly to specific issues faced by brown and Asian women, just generally making a statement that there are women of all races (specifically…

I can’t stand her either. She’s obnoxious without being funny and there’s just something so gratingly phony about her. It feels like she has to work for every joke, and she’s willing to force it, even if it means being disrespectful to one of her guests while the guest is discussing a serious issue.

... Fade to black, and roll credits!

Good point. Either would be good, which is exactly how GRRM and the show’s writers keep us guessing- multiple plot line options.

True. And I think he will. But I don’t think it will do much to sway Cersei. She has always hated Tyrion, and now that Olenna is dead (or is she??) and Highgarden has been sacked, the point is moot. All that information will do is validate Cersei’s bloodthirst.

I’m familiar with it, but, as a plot line, I just find it kind of...meh.

I’m sure I am going to take some flack for this, but it’s time for Jaime to die. His interaction with Olenna was his last meaningful act. After this, all he can do to be even remotely interesting is fuck his sister. And personally, I am sick to death of watching it, not because of the ick factor, but because it’s old…

I am old. I haven’t heard it either, until I clicked on the video. I like it. But, then, I love that Spanish/Flamenco guitar sound.

NYC. My congressman is Joe Crowley, so we’re good in the House. Unfortunately, our Senator is Schumer, whom I find rather skeezy, even though I usually agree with him. I would love to see him primaried after he endorsed the DCCC’s new position.

Great idea^^^^. Just make sure you know that the kid in question doesn’t have any med allergies.

I am a bit older than you, but I feel your pain. When I was 30, I had just gone through an incredibly painful breakup. It just happened that this was when everyone around me was getting engaged, getting married, or moving in with their significant others. One friend had gotten married while I was dating that…

I got a call yesterday from some poor unfortunate phone bank volunteer looking for support of the DCCC. I went off on the guy about how throwing women under the bus to win elections is going to cost him the support of a lot of women.

I like the gift card idea, but just in case you are uncomfortable with it: Many years ago, before the advent of the gift card, my brother graduated high school. For his graduation gift, I went out and bought a laundry basket and filled it with stuff that I knew he would need, plus some fun things. Included in the…

Yes to all of this. My own mother is an odd collection of right wing and extreme libertarian (as in pro-choice, legalize drugs, “cops are racist” libertarian, not Ron Paul libertarian) views. I can tell that some of my views nauseate her, but she hasn’t disowned me yet :-).

So, just as an update. I had a very surprising conversation with him yesterday.

I don’t find them dull, but the show has SO many characters, there’s bound to be someone for everyone to root for.

Well, not wishing it but, hopefully, IF he does it, he does it before the divorce is final. In NY, estranged spouses inherit from each other until a Judgment of Divorce is entered.
