TopicTexas Subway Manager is FIRED after she REFUSED to Hire BLACK EMPLOYEES!!

Most of these cases are kind of deniable. This one is bold-faced straight-up racism. All the manager knew was that she was a black girl with long hair who is kind of short, and that was enough to exclude "those people"

That's not just worty of firing, that's actual crime.

Cholesterol levels are a surrogate endpoint, and shouldn't be used on their own to guide your health. If you show me they have the same effects on actual risk of bowel cancer and cardiovascular disease, that's a different story.

Lee and Clementine from The Walking Dead
Cole from Gears of War was a pretty good pick, above, although he probably doesn't really fit your definition.
Adewale from Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry
Bayek from Assassin's Creed Origins
Keith David from Saints Row 4
TJ Combo from Killer Instinct
The agent from Crackdown (at least in Crackdown 3) is canonically black, as far as I know

EDIT: Forgot about Tyrael from Diablo 3, and Sergeant Johnson from Halo. Johnson also probably doesn't fit the bill though.

They're both cool. Cena was lame for a long time and looped back around to being cool again.

Randy Orton wins my vote though. He's just so good at making every opponent he fights look great in the ring. I especially remember that curbstomp-to-RKO combo he did with Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania 2017:

I havent read the rest of the posts but the fact you never got into an argument is actually a red flag to me.

I consider getting into an argument actually a good thing once in a while. It means both of you are passionate about something.

I have found that the strangest couples are the ones who barely ever argue.

I could be wrong, but this is something Ive picked up over the years. Im convinced a lot of women like when you disagree with them at times. It may present a knowledge that youre not just kissing their ass and have your own mindset.


I'm gonna disagree here. There's nothing essential about having arguments, as long as you're able to both express your views and find a path forward together. My wife and I have been together for 11 years, and never had a heated argument. On the flipside, there's also nothing inherently wrong with having arguments, as long as you don't stray into the territory of saying things for the purpose of doing damage to your partner or upsetting them just to "win." That kind of hurt can linger and really decay things over time.

TopicPeople who hated the GoT finale: how would you have done it? (spoilers)
Sonic Cannon

I liked the final episode, and most of the actual plot moments that have happened this season. It would have been much better overall if they spent more time to cover the events of Ep4 and 5 especially. In retrospect, if they made full-length seasons 7 and 8, the battle for the dawn could have served better at the end of a previous season.

- Dany's descent into madness felt a bit too rapid.
- I would have liked more breathing room for the Varys/Tyrion betrayal bits.
- I think they should have done a better job of killing Rhaegal. Perhaps having him die from Euron's fleet at the start of ep5, to give more reinforcement to Dany feeling pissed off and alone.
- There should have been at least a little bit more debriefing of the NK/white walkers storyline after the battle. Even just a few comments from Bran or Sam may have been enough.
- The issue of Asha and the Iron islands' independence should have been addressed better at the kingsmeet, or maybe not emphasised earlier on.
- The Bronn storyline was lame this season and could probably have been cut.

Most of the endings were good. I especially liked the scene with Brienne writing Jaime's story in the book.

It's fine to be mad, but it's better to learn early on what to look for, what to avoid, and how to handle bad situations. All you are doing by texting with her is assuring her how she broke up with you through text is fine, and she didn't do anything wrong by not talking with you about anything. This will convince her to do this again in the future to some other guy because you are seemingly fine with it so far.

Just stop talking to her, go see a movie or something and leave your phone at home. Go find someone new. You never know what you are missing if you sit and dwell on something you can't change.


Im upset. I know Ill get over it. But your first paragraph. Shouldnt I tell her, respectfully, how I feel about the way she broke things off? To give myself some sense of self-closure?

I mean... if she ends it once, she can end it twice. And not been given a reason is just burning. I hate loose ends.

Ill cut contact, but I just need to at least tell her why, yes?


Opinions differ on this, as you have seen.
Personally, I think an initial response is reasonable. If you do, you should definitely question whether texting was appropriate for such a communication. You can say that it's really upsetting. Avoid saying that you're sorry for anything, though, and don't drag it out into a long conversation.

ITT: CE actually providing mostly good support/advice.

Choose to do whatever you want as far as staying in contact, but don't get any issusions about getting together unless there's some big change in circumstances. She has probably been thinking about this for a little while, and felt this approach was a way to end it without doing you too much damage.

Would you be able to go during your lunch break?

I've got a longer lunch break than most places so if the transit is short I could fit in a decent interview during lunch

The issue then becomes - Typically I am in the lunch room during lunch. And all of a sudden I would be missing regularly. I'm over-worrying I guess but if I were my manager that would look a little sus


Find ways for it to seem more normal. Use whatever flexibility your work can offer you (e.g. taking a long break or finishing early on a particular day of the week as a routine thing) then using that time for an interview. Heck, you could even just start having your lunch elsewhere more frequently, then people would get used to you not being at lunch every day.

GRRM implied in an interview that the producers/marketing folks at HBO pushed for more screen time for Bronn even though it didn't make sense, because he is popular on audience surveys.

TBH he could have not appeared this season at all, and been better for it. The scene with Qyburn giving him the crossbow was interesting, but they didn't have the time or commitment to really pay it off, it seems.

Very possible, if they were so inclined. A lot of political commentators (particularly online) have fanbases that are pretty cult-like at times. People like Stefan Molyneux or Milo have big cults of personality. If you want to look further towards people actually exploiting their base for money, there's Alex Jones.
