But weren’t clowns trying to lead some kind of #notallclowns backlash against this movie? Am I making that up?

I don’t like things that are different! They scare and confuse me.

Marvel has a frustrating track record of casting great actors for their villains, but then totally wasting them — Ali, Mikkelsen, Spader, Eccleston, Redford, and now Weaver, who I was really looking forward to in this.

You've got a leg up on me, then; even when I think I'm being more outgoing, people still read me as "reserved" or "stoic."

I feel you. I'm 27, haven't had any sort of long-term relationship, and have only really loved one person. It's hard to envision falling for someone or vice versa when you have little to no experience with it.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet with this guy, but I'm still sorry that things turned out that way for you.

Not the OP, but I'll say "yes" to this.

Fellow gay here who's always been aroused by the idea, but has never actually done it.

Then having him in your peripheral vision is not gonna make you feel better about it. If you don't see him in person, then it should be fairly easy to block that shit out without having to completely sever ties.

It bugs me that they haven't given her any dragon-riding armor.

I love Bronn but I think this would've been a good time to kill him off. It would have been a grand sendoff to the character and added to Tyrion's conflicted feelings about Dany going into dragon-mode on Westoros, having lost his old buddy and nearly losing his brother.

Half the time I don't think the people who run the dead pool feature pay any attention to the show.

"Having a higher knowledge of our bodies"

This show has really gone off the rails.

I like this approach, especially if you leave some time to talk afterwards. Doing an activity can be a fun way to break the ice and see how you vibe with the other person before you have to sit across from them and ask personal questions.

Thanks! I did one of those body fat tests where they dunk you in water and I was floored by the results cause they totally exceeded my expectations.

Counter point: things are lukewarm and bad lately.

Maybe try some light/innocent flirting back and see how she responds, though definitely be careful with that approach.

Stuff like this is why I go into online dating with very low expectations, and even then I find that they're still not low enough to prevent disappointment.
