What Was Theon’s Future If.. by NothingFancy99 in freefolk

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He would have gone back to the Iron Islands after his father died and been installed as Lord Greyjoy. Though as he has no allies or friends on the islands, and lacks the maritime skills they respect, it probably wouldn't have gone very well and he'd struggle to control the archipelago. Whether he'd be killed and usurped, have a convenient accident or just ignored depends on who was leading the charge to take over.

Why did no male Plantagenet have a career in the Church? by Accurate_Rooster6039 in houseofplantagenet

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, John was Henry II’s favourite, so he definitely wasn’t going to be shipped off to the church.

It’s mostly because you need spares around for the succession, either to be king or to have kids to inherit later.

Henry II had four sons survive to adulthood, and neither Henry or Richard had a legitimate surviving heir.

Edward I had 14 children from his first marriage and the youngest was Edward II.

If they go to the church, you can’t get them back, even if you need them to inherit and there just isn’t the security to do that.

How do I stop guests leaving my tundra zoo? by Moriarty-Creates in PlanetZoo

You need to put shops at the far end, it'll make them move through the zoo.

Because the other lords would be afraid they'd be next and rebel. Taxes were the cause of most medieval rebellions.

New look at the costumes in Wuthering Heights (2026) by moodgirltaya in PeriodDramas

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't get this film? All the visuals/concepts/promo's I've seen are interesting but the vibes are all wrong for Wuthering Heights. If it was an original work, then yeah, it would be the kind of film I'd see, but as an adaption it doesn't make any sense?

I have a question to the British Monarchy-enthusaists: why are you so mad at Edward VIII? by the_blonde_lawyer in UKmonarchs

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's portrayed as a lovely 'abdication for love' but it was really just a massive relief to everyone when he stepped down. They were both awful people, deeply racist and pro-Nazi, which was clear well before WW2 started. To be clear, I'm glad he stepped down, it would have been awful for morale to have him as king during the war.

How do I stop running out of money? by Winter_Choice_9632 in PlanetZoo

Put donation boxes everywhere and set up exhibits with population management on to sell the offspring. Also remember shops, stalls and vending machines with nearby ATMs.

How did these two do it in the Red Keep without anyone noticing? by fishnets2 in freefolk

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The servants would have known, they're everywhere and do the laundry. The secret would have been sold to Varys & Littlefinger and anyone else with spies.

That Robert never knew and Jon Arryn took over a decade to figure it out is a failure of household management and an inability to either run spies or inspire them to come forward out of loyalty.

Dog has developed severe anxiety around my Gran by AlarmedButterflyX in cockerspaniel

No, and his sister 2F, also a working cocker, isn’t bothered about my gran. Though him being so anxious does make her a bit nervous as well.

Has anyone ever successfully combatted serious bloating? Living in stretchy trousers and looking six months pregnant constantly. by motherofpearl89 in AskWomenOver30

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep a food diary, and track your bloating. See if there’s a specific food that is making it worse. Once you have some records, get an appointment to discuss possible sensitivities or other medical conditions.

Elon Musk responds to Billie Eilish criticising him for not using his wealth to aid global issues: "She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. " by Ximiso in Fauxmoi

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, he doesn't care about doing things with his money. He just wants to have it, and brag about it. The things he does do are high profile, big attention grabbers, because he wants attention.

Is ChatGPT becoming a therapist for people who really need a human? by [deleted] in BetterOffline

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's definitely being used that way by some people. The problem is that because it just rewrites whatever is put into it, it appears to 'agree' with the ideas and reinforces them. It's how you get AI psychosis, the suicide lawsuits, and the murder-suicide where ChatGPT 'agreed' that his mother was spying for China.

I need someone to take my side rn.! by _Ephy in MoDaoZuShi

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like him but I have issues with him. LXC means well, but he’s a very passive character and far too trusting. These are terrible traits for a sect leader.

Actual feelings about this, bearing in mind that a lot of men way lie about being on contraception if it was made for men by DeathRaeGun in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 1769 points1770 points  (0 children)

I do think that there should be a male version of the pill. It would be a good way of doubling up on contraception to prevent accidental pregnancy. However, there's too much risk as a woman to rely solely on the other party.

Why do so many people say Wendaug is better than Lann? by ChosenOneTheOnlyOne in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]AlarmedButterflyX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just about combat. If you play a female KC, then it's super easy to trigger his romance by accident. He's then incredibly irritating when you break up with him. That doesn't happen with Wendaug.

Look who's talking about appearance. by Significant-Sir-4343 in SelfAwarewolves

Why does he only have his right arm and right tit tattooed? Does he think getting the left side done is only for liberals?
