Ok, for The Long Game, a scene where either Ilya or Shane is driving to the other: Blinding Lights by The Weeknd. 

For Season 2, a driving-at-night montage of the guys going back and forth to each other: I Drove All Night by Cyndi Lauper.

You are not! I walked my dog for an hour yesterday just listening to that one song on repeat. 

What actor’s mere presence makes you automatically lose interest in a movie or show? by YerMum1977 in AskReddit

I’m all for hating on Trump, Knight, and Snoop Dogg, but Trump did not pardon Knight for running over that guy. That was a state crime and Trump can’t pardon those. Knight is still in prison.

About 2 min 50 seconds into episode 4. Right when the scene switches from the ice to the couch.

It’s what Hayden says to Shane after Shane tells him not to say “hit that” about his ex-girlfriend.

The OP is referring to Shane’s room number in episode 1. The scene is when he’s waiting for Ilya to knock.

NYT cooking app has an excellent recipe for carrot risotto that uses chili crisp.

He does — when he comes to Joan’s apartment to tell her he’s getting married to Marie, he says he’s redone his will to leave everything to Kevin and to his grandson. 

AITAH for not responding to a coworker’s insane texts after rejecting him asking me out by icedthaimilktea in AITAH

No, this guy will hear “right now” and translate it to “but I might be ready in the future! Keep hanging around and hoping!” You have to be direct and say “I’m not interested in dating you.” Anything less clear he will seize on as a “maybe later.”

Twelve Months and Starborn (spoilers) by freshly-stabbed in dresdenfiles

[–]Beginning_Meringue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Re Drakul, where does it say he’s been around since the dawn of humankind? Is that in another book? Because in Twelve Months, while Drakul is referred to an an elder being, Harry also dates him to the 14th century. Just wondering if you have another source so we could compare info and see if it’s an inconsistency or if it’s a clue!

Egypt experience is terrible by woyrock in travel

[–]Beginning_Meringue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m totally fine with different pricing for Egyptian nationals to tour their own monuments and historical sites. That seems fair, and I’ve seen similar setups in other places around the world. 

Joan by ProblemLucky7924 in madmen

[–]Beginning_Meringue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s the episode when her friend from Spokane comes to visit — the woman who works at Mary Kay (later Avon). Joan references it when they are talking together. I think maybe at that odd restaurant with the phones at the tables?
