If you’re right - and I don’t believe you are - about Jaime, then Sansa probably said it to give him the prod to go off Cersei.

I can sort of get the latter, because thinking we’re more important than we really are are central to the human condition; it’s almost like we’re wired to go “that was horrific/huge... meh... look at me instead!!” But I wish there had been more *time* taken to let that sink in, that pettiness of the squabble. I’m not…

Oh I agree with you: but insisting that Dany should be Queen of Westeros simply because she wants it makes no sense either... and yet here we are. 

Yes, very much this! This idea that emotion/showing emotion (other than anger, of course) = weakness is why we have toxic masculinity. 

I got the feeling they weren’t intending for the Dothraki to die. They fight in a certain way; they harry the enemy, kill/maim a few, back off, and do it again. Death by a thousand cuts. That was what they were *intending* to do to the NKs army but it didn’t work. It wasn’t so much “look at their much greater numbers”…

“it seems a stretch that she would suddenly go all weak woman just cause she got some d.”

Eh, savvy, Hollywood - tomato, tomahto. This was the woman who complained that Westminster Abbey smelt ‘musty’. Anything for attention. 

LOL, since when? 

But that’s not why people do it though. No-one sneaks food into a movie because they’re hungry. They sneak it in because they like to eat while watching - as do most people - and want something other than shitty overpriced popcorn. It’s not like theatres offer anything other than popcorn and maybe 2-3 different kinds…

When I was a teenager, the movie theatre in my home town smelled so strongly of popcorn - both outside and inside the actual theatres - that I could, and did, regularly smuggle McDonalds inside to eat. No-one smelled it, as it was dark no-one saw it, and I always took my rubbish out with me for disposal elsewhere.…

It’s not that easy though. Maybe it’s different in other countries but in my country, there are very few children available for adoption and a huge pool of prospective parents. The chances of being picked are slim. And, awful as it is to say it, not everyone is up for the life long relationship that they will need to…

Very much this, and this also goes for the “chicken pox is really bad when you’re an adult!” crowd. I had it at 18, it was no biggie. Annoying but nothing worse than that. But my kids got it at 4 and they suffered hugely, it was awful.

Totally agree with all of this. I think they should kill either Dany of Jon in this one.

She isn’t there to ‘save the North’ though; she’s there to take them over, just like the Night King. Only difference is that she (hopefully) won’t kill as many of them to do it. The people of Winterfell are caught between two shit choices, so yeah, they are totally justified in being snotty about it. 

Just to put what I’m about to say into context: I’m not American and I come from a country where the ‘gold standard’ of motherhood is to have a home birth with no medical interventions and breastfeed until the child is at least 1 (and beyond). I have birthed two sets of twins.

Yes. This reminds me of the ‘calling children monkeys’ controversy. It’s been used as a racial slur in America. There are hundred of countries where that is *not* the case and never has been, and children are called ‘monkey’ because they are mischievous. But Americans are offended and so now all of us have to change…

Yep!

Yes, that whole thing annoyed me. As a vagina-haver hell yeah I want responsive and female-friendly health care! But the key word there is ‘health’. I want a *doctor*, a medical professional, not any of that ‘wellness’ or alternative crap. And it strikes me as pretty anti-woman to be foisted off on all that instead of…

Yeeesss! Honestly, why touch people at all? Or at least, ask first FFS!

In the city I live/work in, the joke is that the unoffical ‘uniform’ is anything goes so long as it’s black :)
