At the risk of being shouted down, and possibly rightfully so, I actually think maybe this gory and shocking version may have been the best way to go. While watching I’d expected the King to ask the Queen to make the choice and didn’t see the point in having him make that choice, but apart from character development I…

But when the delivery is afflicted with complications and Viserys must choose between saving Aemma’s life or the male baby’s, he chooses his son, ordering nurses to restrain his wife as they cut her open to “save” the baby that will die the next day.

Exactly. I’m 42, I make $75k/year and I’m divorced with three children; I have $30,000 in student debt - this would knock out a third of it. That is HUGELY meaningful to me.

Yeah I know this is just par for the course with Jez at this point and I shouldn’t be surprised but still it annoys me to see this BS. Especially when it’s so blatant. Absolutely no mention of anyone who’s in a situation that a large chunk of borrowers are in.

I love how, continually, interest gets left out. Cause that’s where the real burn is for so many of us. Paying off the principal? Fine. We agreed to do it. Getting absolutely shafted on interest to the point of never even touching the principal is unfortunately more of the reality. Subtracting 10k doesn’t mean jack whe…

Don’t underplay this.

I mean...I wish all of it was forgiven.

“I remember one time when we went out to dinner with my dad, the world’s most functional alcoholic. He ordered a carafe of wine for himself, but the waitress understandably brought him a glass. He said ‘I wanted a carafe, this is just enough to make me angry.’ ”

Your notifications deserve to be set on fire for the idea that “Jordan Peterson can tell you how to be a good man.” He’s a bigoted, misogynistic hack. (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/feb/07/how-dangerous-is-jordan-b-peterson-the-rightwing-professor-who-hit-a-hornets-nest).

Pretty sure we didn’t stop sending children to work in coal mines and textile mills “because capitalism”.

I had to go look up who Julia Fox is. She seems... exhausting.

as a parent myself, her point at a very high level is well-taken—give your kids chores, the older they get, the more they should have (not to the point of slave labor however). And then she had to lean into it a little too hard like a good wannabe social media “influencer” by talking about stuff she read on some…

You know what else we did back then, Judy?  Died at 40.

The dramatist in me hoped that as soon as the package opened, the cards would turn to dust and fade into the wind.

That headline made me think that they’d exploded in someone’s face or something. Or like their dog at them and died from 70 year old card poison.

When she talks about worrying about how the trauma of having found her dead would stay with her sister forever, it is very human. When people are so sure their life is ending that they get past “fearing for their life” and start fearing for how those left behind will deal with their death, it is moving and humbling.

I know there are strong feelings about the Kardashians and wealthy folks in general on top of that, but this whole situation is horrific.

As a reminder, Kim was wearing a robe when the attack happened (so she had no other clothing on). They duct taped her and manhandled her. She genuinely thought she was going to be…

The winner: Team No One.  

If someone I didn’t know sent me that message, I wouldn’t assume it was a joke. One could also posit that sending snarky messages to writers of tepid reviews is a bit thin skinned. This seems like a case of everyone doing too much.

I’m always embarrassed for actors who make idiots of themselves over reviews they don’t like.
