TBH, I care about Tyrion way less than I used to, probably because he’s now with Dany. The only people in that storyline who interest me are Missandei, Grey Worm and Jorah.

Yes, that’s the first thing I noticed too! It made me so mad...

I think this is unfair. In my experience there are far more decent men than aggressive idiots. Not that there is a lack of aggressive idiots, but they are still heavily outnumbered.

My point exactly. You could measure my wrist which holds no fat and I would still get a much larger measurement than many women, even some who do carry some fat there. How is that an accurate representation?

Oh, come on! I had to do a presentation of a paper on this topic *yesterday*! Why couldn’t you have published it two days ago... :)

I really dislike this metric. How can a 5-foot woman and a 6-foot woman have the same scale of appropriate waist circumference values? I’m only 5'7 and my wrist is half again as thick as that of my friend; same goes for my ankles and knees and stuff. Why should our waists be comparable?!

I don’t know if this counts since in my culture this sort of arrangement is the most common: I’ve been married for a few years, have kids and we (husband, kids and me) live in the same house (but separate apartment) as my parents. We have no intention of moving, either. (My parents are happy with this arrangement,…

Don’t say that, those are noble pursuits. Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself - I make my own yogurt, too, from our own goats. I already have chickens, even 3 hens that raise their own chicks. And rabbits, we have those, too. :)

I own a highlighter (YSL Touche Éclat), a black eye pencil and an eyelash curler. Oh, and lipbalm in the cold months. It took me a long time to come to terms with my make-up minimalism, I always used to feel inadequate :)

Thank you for taking the time to answer in such detail! It took a few reads, because the system is really very foreign to me, but I get it now. It’s insanely complicated and very sad that the system is being exploited for such an end.

Could you please explain this to an ignorant non-American? I was with you up till “a ballot initiative...” and I understand most white students will get their own private school, while the public school will be left to the others and deteriorate due to lack of funding, but I don’t understand the process to get there.

I come from the Mediterranean* and English is obviously not my first language. I’m sorry if I came across as argumentative - that was not my intention at all. I wanted to say that to me it seems smarter to change the environment so it’s easier to eat well than to teach people the minutia of good nutrition. I don’t eat…

It’s not utopia, I’m speaking about the environment I come from.

Isn’t it better to create an environment in which eating well is easy and logical, though? Then you can expend your mental energy on other things.

No, but it well could be. I’m from Slovenia if that rings a bell :) Anyway thank you for the thoughtful reply. I’ve never thought of it like that but it makes a lot of sense.

Good point. I watched it several times because the first few watchings stumped me completely. I didn’t understand the messages, the jokes, even the language. Full disclosure: I’m white and not American. In fact, I doubt there are 10 people of colour living in my 2 million country. But I want to understand and I still…

The same here. I actually said (maybe shouted, never asked my husband :) ) “Why isn’t he crying?!” - worst 5 seconds of my life, too.

I see what you mean. I was merely commenting that I cannot imagine eating (living?) like this because I come from a different environment and don’t need to do that (yet?). Shouldn’t it be made easier to eat right than to eat wrong?

I have no issue with that - you do you. I just dislike the notion that somehow whole swaths of people are obese because they eat too little protein. People are obese because they overeat, mostly. It’s *easiest* not to overeat if you eat a high-protein diet, there’s no disputing that, but it’s certainly not necessary…

There are plenty nations on earth that have no obesity to speak of and manage to subsist on the recommended amount. Protein powder is not food.
