I don’t have that particular information right now, sorry.

That’s pretty much the reaction from Germans as well. Our Secretary of the Interior, Horst Seehofer, is anxious to not let his party, the CSU, lose any votes to the far-right extremist AfD party in the next Bavarian election (where he’s been the Head of State before his current job), so he made asylum seekers the BIG…

Before this World Cup the DFB had already extended his contract until after the World Cup 2022 in Katar. But maybe he’ll resign now. Or he’ll ask for a second chance at the Euro 2020.

He’s interested in personal gain only. At least that’s how China seems to handle him quite successfully.

These loud, obnoxious fans are the number one reason why I’ve never really gotten into SW-fandom. Basically, ever since the original series’ theatrical run, people have been claiming that “X ruined Star Wars!”:

So... no Nobel Peace Prize then?

“What Kind of Man Takes His Wife’s Last Name?”

Oh my god o_O

I’m unfamiliar with that tag. And Twitter only shows me four tweets using that tag, none of them by any of the official CDU channels.

Cue the counterclaims “It’s not sexism, it just looks like a shitty movie!” in 3...2...1... And months later, everyone will claim that there never ever was any sexism involved, and it was always about the quality.

People aren’t perfect?

We have male (er), female (sie) and neutral (es) pronouns; however, the neutral pronoun is reserved for things, not people, so referring to people by es is considered derogatory (the only exception are babies, because “baby” is a gender-neutral term in German, unless you know the baby’s gender, then you use the proper…

IIRC, the architect in the book was less flirty and just professionally friendly, and it was only Anastasia’s jealousy that read more into it, which made her become a complete asshole towards that woman. At least, that’s how it came across. It’s quite possible that EL James really thought she wrote a professional…

I just loved how the only guests at their “real” wedding were Carrie’s friends. Because Big is just an accessory to her life with no life of his own, I suppose.

I know, I’m just as confused. Apparently, the whole final season will be trashed, except for Harris. So Dan’s still alive, the couples are still canon, they never became rich, Dan never left Roseanne or cheated on her, but Darlene and David still had a baby named Harris Conner Healy.

If I understood correctly, the new Mark will be named after his deceased uncle Mark, so the series’ revival apparently wants to acknowledge the actor’s death.

She’s from Slovenia, not Russia.

I’ve been wondering lately: Did the show ever introduce or even acknowledge the “three heads of the dragon” prophecy? Because if not, they may not feel bound to it like the books do.

That’s true. It’s like meeting Dany and her dragons was the end of his personal character arc, so now he’s become the dominantly supporting force in another character’s personal arc. It’s as if the showrunners have no idea what else to do with him. “I drink and I know things” seems to be what they reduced him to.

I agree with everything you wrote except for Tyrion. He pretty much took over Dany’s storyline. She’s not allowed to make her own decisions but needs either him or Jon to tell her what to do. He says twice in this season that it’s his (and Varys’) job to keep her in line. During meetings he’s the one talking strategy…
