Depends on whether if it's tax season.

Don't take away his agency by way of religion. He knew exactly what he was doing.

I like my porn to be less faschy and more flashy.
Everyone is human
Like the white South Africans right? Right?!
Yup, I've been seeing more and more people straight use AI results to support their arguments.
I was talking about the divorce as a whole. It would have some very serious ramifications. Moving wouldn't be easy, because you'd be doing so under a whole different set of circumstances than moving abroad for studying or for a job. It's not just you, it's everyone who wants to live a "liberal democracy" who would want to move and it wouldn't be easy at all, imo.
Historically mass exodus aren't fun.
We are absolutely living in a cyberpunk dystopia. This particular meme is poorly put together to represent that because it chooses to focus on judgement of how others live their lives or choose to enjoy said life rather..
Fair enough. I suppose I understand this meme to be a broader commentary about cyberpunk dystopia than specifically ridiculing someone's life style choices.
I don't think it's meaningless to be trepidatious over a future most of the people on this planet will never be able to have (affordable housing, a stress free retirement).
And I dunno but calling it "a matter of perspective" feels like a lie, or a compromise, especially when knowing that we are slowly destroying our world and making everyone's lives horrible so that a few people can enjoy themselves.
We shouldn't fighting to live in such a dystopia.
I don't want to say that their goals are wrong and mine are better, everyone has their bandwidth, but I just disagree that it is a matter of perspective. (Upon looking at it again, I think we both just understand this meme differently)
I am so fucking tired of living in this world.
You can look at a turd from a different angle and it will look like a brownie.
A comfortable home or segregationist suburban dystopia?
Family vacations or inefficient car based infrastructure fucking up the planet?
Fun hobbies or mindless consumerism being sold to you as a hobby?
Living to a ripe old age or being relegated to for profit nursing homes to count your dying days?
Which seems more apparent?
This is not just a simple house move, this is a whole on nation move, where you may never get to go back. There's will be massive paperwork, a lot of uncertainty, chaos and pain. From my anecdotal knowledge on what happened in countries like west/east germany, north/south korea, india/pak, I can say that this event will be very stressful for a lot of people.
Especially if you have to move for your safety. You might have to sell your house for cheaper than what it's worth, you might not be able to buy new land or find good renting opportunities. You might have to sell your business or close down. You might have to find new jobs, new schools, new everything. And some people just don't want to leave their home, no matter how fucked things are, because there's a chance they'll never see it again.
This isn't to mention, the pain that will come with such a divorce, the shame, and the lost hopes.
It's definitely hard and complex. I think you are greatly underestimating how traumatic such a move would be for a lot of people (even if it maybe necessary).
Realistically this wouldn't be possible, at least in the way most people assume. It's hard for people to just uproot their whole lives and move to another state (though it's easier these days), a partition like this would mean leaving behind a lot of liberal minded people, who are too poor or too rooted in a place.
Oh wow, I can't believe that outerwilds has successfully taught me the concept of quantum observation.
The reference to dead things in water is definitely about white walkers and the hardhome shenanigans.
But I do see the sacrifice happening, feels like such a significant plot point and very earned for the story so far. But I wonder who'll do it. Stannis is all the way near winterfell.
I’m not sure exactly what will happen but watch these 2 locations.
I'd love to ...if we had the books 😶🌫️
Davos is consistently shown as probably the most rational man in Westeros with the best head on his shoulders. It’s out of place for him to act erratically, hypocritically and against the wishes of Stannis.
But he had lost so many of his sons, that would change any man's constitution. It's a deeply traumatic event.
Davos recognizes during the battle that it was lost due to A) wildfire and B) the chain boom that Tyrion set up. Neither of these would indicate he should be mad at Melisandre for some reason.
True, I don't remember it well enough. But, stranger things have happened, people look for things to blame after traumatic events even when there's no one to blame.
I'd say we can't expect him to be perfect. Though I suppose, it could be possible. I'd have to read it again.
Davos is middle aged, very comfortable with his identity, very secure in his family and loyalties. He is probably the hardest type of man to manipulate in this way until he goes through destabilizing grief.
Hmmm, True that.
But, like you said GRRM likes to repeat themes and such. I don't see how insinuating that Davos may have been possessed affect the story line in anyway. But I suppose, that's where Euron's plot could come in.
He sails to the Three Sisters, speaks with the Borrells about their 5000 year old fishy-person mark, goes to the Merling Court of the Manderlys (also definitely merling hybrids, anytime you see fat cannibals be on the lookout). The Manderlys even drop hints to Davos about Frey Pie and their cannibalism.
See, now that part does make a little sense. I always thought those chapters felt like a different story. Why not skip to the Manderlys, why linger on the three sisters, right? (it could have been an effort to expand upon the world building, but story wise, it still feels weird)
I guess you've convinced me that there's something going on with the Davos plot. If Martin truly meant it, it would be interesting to see. I wonder what's the skagos storyline going to be like and if Rickon will have something to do with the Deep ones. The skagosi are also known to be cannibals right? I wonder if there's a connection between them and the deep ones. Some sort of feral mixed form of worship of the old gods and the deep ones.
Oh Wow, I am pretty sure in the 100 sq km of where I live, I am in the top 10 game of thrones weirdos, but I have never heard of this theory - specifically the part about the "Sentient Meteor" and "Bloodstone Island breaking the arm of Dorne". That said, I like this part of the theory.
I know they did that, but I always thought it was limited to only a very few people.
Aeron Greyjoy
Ehh... The dude's a misogynists as well, did the deep ones program that in him too or leave that in? People change after near death experiences, I am sure Martin is playing with that rule. But I can still see it.
Davos Seaworthy
That is an interesting... speculation - https://tenor.com/view/interesting-speculation-the-terror-republic-of-play-gif-14806095
See, this one is just not believable.
He wakes up delirious and with an immediate driving compulsion to kill Melisandre, even though she had nothing to do with the deaths of his sons
People aren't rational beings. He, of course, wouldn't hurt his liege lord, but a foreign woman influencing your lord? She's the perfect scapegoat for his monkey brains at that moment. Dude lost four sons, he has to cope with the fact that he willingly let them all go into battle for a man whose odds of becoming the king are very low.
It seems his personality change was the most minor and temporary, possibly because he drowned the least badly.
Also because I don't like this fact. 'Least Badly' is not the modus operandi of the gods in ASOIAF. The magic in ASOIAF is cruel, weird, erratic, costly and full of mockery. I don't think deep ones would just leave him like that. And I don't think martin meant it and if he did, I'd chalk that up to "overwriting". Though, he's good at avoiding that. (so far)
That’s how GRRM writes, he repeats the same themes over and over with slight variations.
Sure there are aspects to this that I like, but I think it too often veers into the territory of "He is the chosen one" or "My brother is actually cold hands or the hound is the grave digger" for my tastes. The way GRRM executes the chosen one story line is the most interesting one out of all the other authors, but it still is a chosen one story line. I like things to be less connected, that gives the world a sense of massive scale and depth.
Thanks for the videos, I have something new to binge.
Hey I've read the books (Yes, I am obnoxious), but I don't remember any time when he was possessed by sexy underwater cuthulu creatures to kill melisandre. He wanted to murder her of his own fully concious accord.
Please explain.

I suppose that makes sense.
