I'm in the middle of S3, and so far, SoA hasn't captivated me like Mayans MC did. I keep losing concentration to something else and have to rewind a lot.

I guess I haven't found a character to root for yet, though Maggie Siff who plays Tara Knowles is close. I keep comparing with her role as Wendy Rhoades in Billions.

keep watching bro, the series peaked at Season 4 to 7

Tried but lacked the patience to get into it after the intriguing Mayans M.C. of similar natured gangs, bikes, drugs, which I loved and was disappointed ended. Back to it after this though.

Mayans M.C can never be on par with Sons of Anarchy. It was produced because Sons of Anarchy ended. You need to watch Sons of Anarchy Seasons 1 to 7

The average Nigerian is not content with what he/she has.

Also, the average Nigerian is in contant competition and always wants to lead the 'imaginary' pack and will result to begging, stealing, misappropriation of funds, shortchanging others to do so.

Some people because of the paragraph above also like to 'give' to show they are on top.

Most of the 'beggars' are using the funds to do stuffs you the begged cannot afford.

E. G. The OP that lamented that his married ex used the funds she from begged him for her husband's birthday.

And as luck would have it, said OP claimed he cannot use such funds to celebrate a birthday for himself or family?! grin
so on point

Money Heist is not a real life occurrence, so it can't be perfect. But even the plot holes sef where explainable if you are in tune to the series.

Just watched Money Heist Season 4. It's equally great just like the previous seasons if not better.
People just watch to criticize, and criticize to be noticed.
Education / Re: I Have Lost Interest In School by Eric14(m): 8:14am On Jul 02, 2019
nointerestinsch:
What you are about to read is the deluge from the heart of a broken National Diploma finalist in one of the Polytechnics in Nigeria. I am 20 years old. I have created a new account to share this, only my coursemates or people in my school would recognize me through this article.

The past week has been the most depressing week of my entire life; as much as I have been living with depression for the past few months, this week has been overwhelming.

I used to be the most-hardworking student I know. I was top of my class in ND 1. I ensured I finished all the textbooks of the courses we offered in each semester. In the euphoria of how well my hardwork paid off, my goal for ND 2 was to graduate with a Distinction, and top my class again. The way things panned out in my first year made me love how a student could be rewarded if the student puts in his or her best in studying.

Fast-forward to ND 2 first semester, I finished all the textbooks and made sure I understood the courses by self-testing and tutoring my colleagues – as usual. Our semester results are released at the beginning of the next semester. I never fret at the WhatsApp Broadcast of Facebook Post that a course result has been released. The first course (Entrepreneurship) result of last semester was pasted in the second week of resumption and I had a ‘CD’ – this was my lowest grade all through my stay in the school till date. I didn’t take it to heart as I didn’t study this course too well last semester and it was a 2-credit unit course.
But then, one week later, the result for one of my courses (OO COBOL) was released. I had an ‘F’. To put this in perspective, this is one of the easiest programming languages out there. Plus, it is an outdated language – already says a lot about the standard down here. I and a few of my coursemates were the best at this course last semester. I personally was getting paid to help fill practical manuals. It was basically one of those courses I wouldn’t need to study for prior to an exam the next day. I had an ‘F’. I’m not ‘clouting’, but the best grades in this course ironically belonged to people who would not be able to write a simple “Hello World” program using this programming language. I completely broke down at the sight of my name trailing to an ‘F’ on the result sheet. I immediately persuaded the few “good students” who also got “F”’s and were sure they did well to join me and go make a case to our Head of Department (HOD). I represented the group and told the HOD that this is not what we expect for a course like this. I asked if we could see our marked exam answer sheets. Would you believe it? He said the answer sheets have not been submitted to him, and that if I want a remarking, I would have to pay N15,000 to the school management or the remarking panel (or whatever name they try to scam us with). I was disgusted at these revelations. I mean, how can I be charged 15k for me to just get a chance to prove myself? 15k? Just to see and prove my own exam answers? This is an educational institution, and not a law court or the police station. The HOD said he cannot do anything about it, that we only have the option of going to ‘see’ the lecturer.

The lecturer had on several occasions, after the exam, related to the entire class through the class rep that each student needs to pay at least 7k or else you would fail. I ignored all of those because I thought they were threats and believed I did more than enough to get at least a “B”. It eventually turns out the lecturer wasn’t blabbing about it. I don’t know how I would be able to face myself knowing I paid to get a grade in school. I am at a crossroad. I am lost.

This is my ordeal. I have absolutely lost any interest and passion for school. For real, what is the essence of all my sleepless nights? Sacrificing trendy clothes and sneakers for data subscription and materials to do research? When, in the end, a fellow that did not even attend lectures will have a better grade because he or she has money to give the lecturer? Is this the way it has been from way back? Or did the standard just drop so low? Why have these lecturers taken pride in extorting other people’s pockets and suppressing bright minds? Why have they used money to promote waywardness in higher institutions? Why is money the determining factor of student’s grades and not the student’s academic performance fueled by unwavering passion for studying and learning?

These and many more unanswered questions are the reasons why I have lost all interest in school and education. Nothing actually interests me now. School is a total waste of precious time. People party all semester and show up to sign attendance on the exam day, then pay money to the lecturer to pass. It’s all money, money and more money! All these pot-bellied bastards destroying destinies and killing dreams! Would they do this to their own children?

I want to speak up, but I can’t. I am depressed. I am discouraged. I am tired. I want to quit school.

Thank you for reading up!

I advice you to change higher institution. Polytechnic dosent even cut it presently in Nigeria

Jaime was knighted at the age of fifteen after an amazing in a fight. He was knighted by no other than ser authur dayne himself. He was called to the kingsguard at seventeen - if you understand knightship and kingsguard ( Not the fools the Lannisters paraded as kingsguard ) then you would know this is no ordinary feat.
Jaime was reknown in the whole seven kingdoms as excellent and exceptional swordsman, people feared to face him in battle.

1. Jamie was knighted because he saved Lord Sumner Crakehall from Big Belly Ben and crossed swords with the psychotic Smiling Knight .

BUT NOTE - The squire (Jamie) held off the Smiling Knight but it was Ser Arthur Dayne that killed the Smiling Knight in an extended exchange

2. Jaime was raised to the Kingsguard by its Lord Commander, Ser Gerold Hightower , in a ceremony at Harrenhal in 281 AC , making him the youngest knight ever to be raised to the order. That night, however, King Aerys soured the honor by sending him back to King's Landing to guard Queen Rhaella and Prince
Viserys, depriving Jaime of the chance to participate in Lord
Walter Whent 's tourney.

BUT NOTE - It was that moment during which Jaime realized that the king had only chosen him for the Kingsguard to slight Lord Tywin, of whom Aerys was insanely jealous, and to rob him of his heir.

from https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Jaime_Lannister

So I ask again which battles or 1 on 1 fight has he won?
TV/Movies / Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Eric14(m): 8:27pm On May 31, 2019
melodyogonna:

Jaime said only 3 people could match him in westoros, Ned Stark and Robert baratheon were definitely not among. Robert baratheon for one was now fat and more often drunk than not. and hadn't fought or trained for years.

Ned Stark wouldn't have left that scene alive if a Lannister soldier hadn't wounded first.

Brienne had a 1 and 1 combat with Jaime who hadn't touched a sword for months, hungry and weak .... oh, and let's not forget he was in chains.

I can't even seem to recall any battle or any fight this Jamie Lannister won
Which 1 on 1 fight did he win sef?
TV/Movies / Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Eric14(m): 9:09am On May 31, 2019
melodyogonna:

What are you saying? Robert baratheon was not a very exceptional fighter, he was very strong yes, but he wouldn't have lived long enough to face Raeghar if he had to overcome someone like Ser barristan or Ser authur dayne first. Jaime is a once in a lifetime talent in swordsmanship, one of the best best fighters westoros has ever produced. Even GRRM said he would name ser Jaime as his champion if he ever had a trial by combat.

Robert Barentheon in his "prime" was an exceptional fighter thats why he was able to successfully lead a rebellion against 1 of the most feared rulers (The mad king) in his time.
Go make ur research!

1. In season 2, even Jamie said he believed 3 men are better than him in Westeros
2. In season 1, we saw Jamie in a 1 on 1 combat wit an old Ned stark and he couldn't win
3. In season 2, we saw Jamie in a 1 on 1 combat wit Brienne and he couldn't win.

I think he actually belongs to where I rated him.

Am I seeing Rhaeger and Ned Stark on top of Jaime? cheesy

Rhaeger and Robert are evenly matched. Both slightly better than Ned Stark.

"Rhaegar met Lord Robert Baratheon in combat at a ford during the battle of the Trident , where the pair had a legendary duel in the raging rivers of the Trident. Rhaegar, despite wounding Robert, was struck down with a massive blow from Robert's warhammer, which scattered the rubies encrusted in Rhaegar's armor into the water. "
