Yep - Dunk’s used to have a no-tipping policy - sometime in the last year they started putting a cup out “for exceptional service.”  Nothing about a drive thru is exceptional, especially when I use their app to build my order.

People used to tip grocery store baggers way back when - I know most grocery stores had a “no tipping” policy in my area (Northeast) when I was a kid in the 80s, and now, while we still have baggers, and sometimes they’ll offer to walk you to the car and help you (if you’re pregnant, have small kids, are elderly, it’s…

The main difference is that a baby is a parasite with your own genetic material, and will hopefully pass that along so you live after your death, and a dog is a pet, which will likely die during your lifetime and doesn’t technically do anything to fulfill your biological imperative. Unless maybe it’s a guard dog and…

It’s idiotic. What about liberal voters who love fishing, and are not brand loyal? I buy whatever peanut butter I have a coupon for when it’s on sale. My family is all about fishing- mostly catch and release. We are totally into nature conservation, is that “conservative?”

My mom would only buy that type when I was a kid.  Now I buy the pseudo natural version of whatever’s on sale...

Grey Poupon is now owned by Kraft. They also own Cheez Whiz. Any rich pretense is long gone.

Yes, much like we should expect the current government administration to come to any sort of premature end. Sigh...

Right! This was short sighted. They could have cut off her feet or poked out her eyes, and kept her womb.

Or, maybe she’s paying tribute to Nick. 

I just worry about how the baby will be fed.  June was at least lactating.  They can’t stop at CVS for bottles of formula...

We don’t know that they weren’t exported to Mexico, or that Mexico didn’t decide to start their own handmaid program in some fashion. We just know what June knows, and it’s not like she actually gets to access news.

That part was literally in the book. Moira and June were at the Red Center, being threatened by watching a slide show of the Colonies, which was their fate if they did not follow the Handmaid path, and a picture of June’s mom cleaning up toxic waste popped up. 

Is it Ruth Chris’s, Outback, Bonanza, or York’s?

I think that the society in Handmaid’s wears tinfoil hats, and used to get a lot of health advice from pseudoscientific websites. I think they think that cell phones cause cancer, wifi hurts babies, and unproven stuff like that. Their food is all grown organically, they don’t have access to the commerce and things we…

Nick.  Holly is Offred and Nick’s baby. 

Fair enough - she doesn’t have to win again, as long as she keeps up the good work.

If you stopped watching a few weeks ago, you’re missing some prime Samira.

1. She fiddled with the radio and found the station.

Plot points:

As frustrating as it is that June did not do away with the Waterfords in violent fashion, I think that it more shows her humanity than anything else. (Yes, it would have been bad-ass if she’d made her escape in a Z-28 in the winter, but it may have been quite messy had she actually managed to exit the…

Dunkin’ Donuts is not on the fast food list, so New England’s numbers are skewed.
