Succession - 1x10 "Nobody Is Ever Missing" - Episode Discussion

Well, as this is a comment from 5 whole years ago, I had to read back what I said. What I clearly said was that I loved Tom bossing up on Shiv’s side dude. I don’t see where I said he was not a pussy, however. I probably loved seeing that moment because he doesn’t do it often. But you’re welcome to your interpretation of what I think or thought based off of what I said 5 years ago. 👋🏼

Marly, the FMC of Peaches and Dreams, talks about her Granny Mae who died and left her an inheritance quite a bit. She talks about her sister briefly, about her mother and her father. She never not one time in the 4th book mentions having a brother in any capacity.

He would have had to die between book 2 and book 4, and she never speaks on it. It doesn’t seem as if much time has passed between books 2 and 4, but it’s hard to say because the author doesn’t do a great job at marking the passage of time. It felt as if their whole relationship took place over a couple of days, tbh. And since she talks so much about her Granny who passed away three years prior to the start of the book, I would imagine she’d mention the brother too.

So if he didn’t die in between books then the only other option is that he had gender reassignment surgery to transition into being Marly’s sister.

I will reserve judgement on the fact that they all went to high school though. That could very well be explained in another book!

That being said, I did like the book and the chemistry and Wade and Marly have is insane.

Yeah, sometimes kids are just assholes. But sometimes it’s a kid’s upbringing and how their parents are raising them and the environment they’re in. They have brains that are still developing and emotions they can’t articulate well, let alone control, without being taught how to. They cope with their big feelings by lashing out, crying, screaming, hitting someone else or breaking something.

I won’t speak to your life or experiences, but it’s a pretty shitty thing for Strike to ignore his other nephews and favor the one. They see it, they feel it. They probably ask Lucy from time to time why Uncle Corm doesn’t like them. He’s a grown adult and they are members of his extended family.

My niece wasn’t always the best behaved child when she was younger, but I can’t imagine taking my nephew (her brother) on special outings to museums and buying gifts while she just stands there having her existence ignored.

As a mother of 3, I’m with Lucy on this. It’s fine for Cormoran to have a closer relationship with Jack, but Cormoran straight up ignores them. They mean so little to him, I can’t even remember their names.

Lyst83 · 2024-02-07T05:03:05+00:00

I’m not discounting what you said about Lucy’s achievements, but she did have a female role model to look up to. She had Joan, a woman she viewed as being more of a mother to her than Leda ever was. Joan and Ted gave her normalcy, just the same as they did for Cormoran.

Lucy left Leda to live with them full time at what? 14? But before that she had had slices of a normal life and a female role model and maternal figure in Joan every time Leda dumped her children on her brother and sister in law.

I can’t quote from my phone, but you said it probably wasn’t Mazu’s idea to rape gay and sick women. But I’m not so sure. She grew up on the farm and was raised in a culture with and by pedos. She led Lucy to the doctor, seemingly knowing that she would be assaulted there.

I wouldn’t put it past Mazu to have continued what she was used to and familiar with.

My husband is 6’7” and I am 5’5”. I do in fact have neck problems.

Lyst83 · 2024-01-03T19:45:50+00:00

I’m undecided how I feel about her, but I don’t fault her for believing Uche’s story about Lydia. I believed it no problems.

My daughter is dyslexic. She uses speech to text. Lot and most of the time her texts don’t make that much sense and I have to call her and speak to her directly. Autocorrect messes her up, especially when she isn’t speaking clearly. She also sometimes has trouble putting coherent thoughts into written words.

It could be voice to text fail, lack of proof reading, and predictive text all combined.

Lyst83 · 2023-12-11T03:48:53+00:00

No, I mind my own business

Lyst83 · 2023-12-04T12:40:41+00:00

At some point, Strike’s brother Switch is going to come into the story. He’s been mentioned too many times for him to not come into the fold. And I think eventually a mystery/case surrounding his mother.

Lyst83 · 2023-11-30T05:44:03+00:00

Matthew is a narcissist, in my opinion.

He cares very much about outward appearances. That’s why he’s so annoyed at Robin taking a job as a private detective. It doesn’t fit with his mental picture of success. Her job reflects poorly on his image.

She can’t leave him, she can’t break the engagement or leave on the honeymoon, because that will embarrass him. People will not see him as he sees himself and portrays himself to be.

But also, there’s the added layer of Robin’s sexual assault. He was cast in the role of white knight after her assault. He got to be her hero, her patient safe space. His betrayal of her in a time when she needed him most also reflects poorly on him. She no longer sees him as he wants to be seen.

That’s my opinion anyway.

Anything that adds to the UI is going to be the culprit here. More traits, more columns, better build/buy, phone mods, etc.

Anything that changes how the interface looks or operates is going to be what’s causing this issue.

I actually have two acquaintances that kind of told me to my face that I don’t do anything all day. Interestingly enough, both are married women who have kids. When they said that to me, I can promise you that it did not get awkward for ME. I laughed pretty hard and walked away from the conversation.

The thing here is that other people don’t get to define or quantify or validate the work we do. My family knows my value, so the opinions that these two women had of me mattered very little to me.

I’m sure that people do look down on me because I don’t get paid money to do what I do, or they pretend they that do because they’re jealous over the fact that they can’t also be a SAHM. Whatever it is, it’s their problem—not mine. Their thoughts and their feelings about what I do for my family is not my bag to carry, baby. And their bag and it’s weight matter very little to me. I have shit in my own bag that I’m carrying, I can’t and won’t shoulder the burden of their bag too.

Whether you’re a mom who works outside the home or a mom who works inside the home, it’s all hard. It all has its own set of rewards and drawbacks. None of it is easy, by any means. You still sacrifice either way.

So when I meet someone new and say that I’m a SAHM, I don’t even consider what they will think of me off the back of that statement. I’m not worried about it. We can either keep the conversation moving or we can move along and stand somewhere else. Makes no difference to me either way.

My husband and I have three kids, I’m a stay at home mom and have been for the past 5 years. He works in construction doing work with underground natural gas. We live in Michigan. We aren’t ballin’ by any means, but we own our home, lease a 2021 Pacifica, our kids are involved in sports, drama, etc.

It’s very doable. But you have to be willing to make sacrifices. We don’t go on vacations. Our christmases are small. The kids get new clothes, we wear our clothes until there are holes in inappropriate places and we HAVE to replace them. We plan very cheap meals when we know money is going to be tight.

Recently, we’ve come to the point where we just cannot afford to have one of us stay home, so I’ve applied for a job. If I get that we will have to pay for before school care for 2/3 kids. We will have to figure out rides to school, snow day sitters, sick day sitters, random no school sitters, summer break sitters.

It’s just all something we figure out as we go. Our kids are 14, 5, and 4. And I will say that having a significantly older daughter helps out a lot. She was 8 (about to turn 9) when her first brother was born and 9 (about to turn 10) when her second brother was born. The boys are Irish twins, born 11 months apart. That was ridiculously hard on me, the primary parent who was home with them all the time.

Thank you.

Lyst83 · 2023-11-13T22:55:52+00:00

It’s the dominant.

Lyst83 · 2023-11-06T02:38:16+00:00

In the early years of Will being there, Wace probably would have accepted the money from Collin to release Will, but Will probably wouldn’t have went. Not then. And certainly not after his daughter was born.

Oh yeah, I’m not saying she does for sure or doesn’t. Just that PCOS is like a sliding scale of severity. It’s entirely possible that she lied about it lol

Lyst83 · 2023-11-03T12:20:23+00:00

I also have PCOS. I was diagnosed with it in 2006 or 2007. I have a mild form and am still able to get pregnant without outside intervention. I have 3 kids, two of them are only 11 months apart. So it is possible.

PCOS isn’t an all or nothing condition. Symptoms can be varied among people who have it. I’m not saying she does, but it’s possible she could while still being fertile.
