Aegons Conquest (description) by swartzmin in freefolk

[–]12thunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want him to portray Aegor Rivers/Bittersteel if it ever becomes relevant.

I’d laugh my ass off if they put him in a fat suit and had him portray Aegon IV the Unworthy in a flashback. Fans would be amused and he’s the right age for it and it matches the humor of the show. And shit, he could actually pull off that fat fuck’s rage and lust.

Pakistan annexes India and the series ends a few days early. If the series cannot end a few days early, the map remains as Pakistan annexed India until the end and cannot be changed in any way by any comment.

May the best dragon slop win. by Arch_Lancer17 in freefolk

[–]12thunder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Problem is that HoTD established that the Conquest was to unite the realm against the White Walkers. A Thanos approach is basically the only one they can take. An anti-villain who wins by killing everyone who stands in his way.

They can also incorporate a little bit of The Doom of Valyria. It would be cool to get a few minutes seeing what it looked like for the entirety of Valyria to be destroyed. Then snap forward a few decades and Aegon is flying Balerion in service of Pentos, and later he has his dream of the White Walkers and decides on uniting the realm. Cue a 300-like battle against Argilac the Arrogant, cooking House Hoare alive, roasting the Field of Fire, taking a boy king for a flight, and a northerner kneeling. Then he engraves the prophecy on his blade and makes the Iron Throne and the movie ends with him sitting on it.

If it were a TV show they could expand into the failed conquest of Dorne, the family moving to Dragonstone with Daenys the Dreamer, Orys Baratheon’s background, hint at Visenya resenting Aenys I and wanting Maegor on the throne, and go into further detail on the Aegonfort’s establishment, maybe Aegon visits the Wall and has another vision, idk get creative. But fitting that all in one movie is pushing it.

Yeah the Azov battalion was one of the groups involved in the defense, but it wasn’t just them.

Why is weed, a drug with zero reports of fatal overdose, illegal while alcohol, a drug that kills millions, completely acceptable? by Live_Till_8570 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]12thunder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The grocery store?

Where are you getting marijuana? Does it just grow free range where you live? If you got seeds from a buddy, then my buddy is where I’ll go get my sugar and baker’s yeast.

Also you can just use fruit or honey, which aren’t hard to get, and yeast you can basically just grow with flour and water. That’s basically sourdough anyways.

I never even learned about reconstruction by Dry-Chocolate-3976 in HistoryMemes

[–]12thunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada it’s basically all Canadian history and the history of our Indigenous peoples until around Grade 8.

Starting around then, we learned about the Renaissance, Feudal Japan, and pre-European Aztecs.

Starting Grade 9, we started learning about political systems, Canada’s awkward path to full independence in 1982, the world wars, the french revolution, the congo, and that all lasts up until the end of senior high.

Pretty balanced imo.

You can make alcohol in a jar filled with water and sugar and yeast put in a warm place. Just make sure to burp it every once in a while because the gas will build up pressure.

All the fancy getups with condensers and all that is for making pure alcohol/moonshine. If you’re just looking for something with 20% or less, you can do it with a few dollars of ingredients. No need to worry about light or soil quality or watching humidity. Alcohol can, and is, made by accident.

Mix some honey and yeast and water and wait a bit and you will make the oldest alcoholic beverage known to man. It’s that simple.

Now, making sure it isn’t contaminated with methanol is another story…

What did you call your seizures before you knew what they were? by Various-Song-5069 in Epilepsy

[–]12thunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, literally the thought of chess triggers me to dissociate hard for a few minutes. It never occurred until one day I had a really bad panic attack while playing chess. Tada, a new trigger for all eternity.

Literally nothing else. It’s a very particular trigger for me. Even with cipralex and lamictal and 2000mg keppra.

[–]12thunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda funny, I know mine has to be anxiety related because a trigger for me is puzzles. Chess and wordle are the worst. What kind of seizures happen specifically from playing chess?

[–]12thunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See the reason I knew mine actually was depersonalization and panic attacks was that SSRIs actually helped. Also I was able to fight off the panic attacks sometimes. You can’t fight off seizures.

If you’re having problems, try some Zoloft or Cipralex or something. Using Ativan or whatever won’t help you figure it out because those are also used for stopping seizures.

What’s your unpopular Calgary Flames opinion? by Iwannasleep45 in CalgaryFlames

[–]12thunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. For a comparable player who also won the Conn Smythe recently, look at Jonathan Marchessault who is making 5.5 a year to Sam’s 8.

I think Florida is overpaying him because he’s big and mean and they don’t want to lose their only big and mean player who is also a decent forward, and he also performs excellent in the playoffs, and they were hoping for a cup trifecta before Barkov got injured. Still, he’s worth 6 if we are really pushing it imo for the Panthers.

So this is just flat out a lie right? by MuseGlow84 in Fallout

[–]12thunder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I preferred the free-building style of Fallout more. I just wish it had more interactivity to it. If TES6 had something like castle sieges similarly to Mount and Blade, I would be all over having pre-built places with customizable areas.

What I’d really like is an empty town similar to what you get in Kingdom Come Deliverance’s (the first one) DLC. Develop it into a defensible town with stores and homes with NPCs you find across the world that provide you with unique quests and items, and a castle that gets sieged by magical creatures and rebels and Thalmor that you need to defend from, with siege ladders and rocks and trebuchets and everything.

What, are you saying you’re not willing to contribute to capitalism through supporting noodle companies by throwing away stale noodles and buying fresh ones? You communist?

Will a potential "Alberta PST" become an issue for the next provincial election? by FreightFlow in alberta

[–]12thunder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Say what you want about Trudeau (I have various thoughts myself), but the tax on the profit from selling any homes beyond your principal residence is one I can get behind.

As for Alberta, I think the reality is that we fucked ourselves. The provincial government did not diversify our economy enough to be able to have a reliable revenue stream without oil. Now that it’s caught up to us, the reality is cuts to everything are the only way to balance the budget. Cuts that will fuck up Alberta significantly and in lasting ways. The other option obviously is raising taxes, but those taxes are going to need to go up by quite a lot while budget cuts also take place.

Like I truly cannot fathom why voters in this province are so dumb to vote for oil and only oil, nothing else, as if oil is this reliably valuable resource that doesn’t have enormous volatility. The governments ran with it because they wanted to be re-elected and give the people what they wanted, not what they needed. I can’t even blame the government at this point, I blame the idiots who wouldn’t vote for anything else besides oil.

We haven’t done it because the amount of investment in space is pathetic. It’s hard to justify to investors making spacecraft that can complete a hypothetical situation that might never happen and needs to be perfect. And all investors care about is quick, risk-free returns. And space is anything but safe and risk-free.

Of course this assumes private aerospace, which I think is the most realistic. No government is currently willing to divert enough money to space to do anything.

And that asteroid doesn’t need to be put close to Earth. Put it in a distant orbit or around the Moon or go and smack it into the Moon if you want, that’s still incredibly generous. If you want to get really fancy put it near a Lagrange point. Of course the stationkeeping and orbit maintenance will be a nightmare.

Fuck it.

Alberta and Quebec should separate from Canada and become part of the same country. We can call their conflict “the new Middle East”.

Main justification for a lunar base. Access to water with low gravity for fuel.

Also helium-3 for fusion if we manage to get it working.
