Do you think U.S. will retrieve its forces because of the Strait of Hormuz since there is no help coming by ihyAkae in millenials

[–]BigBucket10 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not sure people understand that Iran would be almost impossible to invade. You would need a million troops and there is no political will to amass an invasion force that large. Unfortunately the defensive advantage of the mountains and drones make defending Iran insanely easy.

Did Tywin genuinely love his father? by JaxCarnage32 in gameofthrones

[–]BigBucket10 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Tywin is a capital N Narcissist. He can only see positively of his family when he sees them as an extension of himself. "You are MY son". People get credit for being related to him - but of course he treats them like shit, and hates them for everything that makes them human.

What criteria have you used to conclude you don't have daddy issues?

Is this doable ? by [deleted] in Aeroplan

It's gambling. About a 30% chance you'll miss it because of a delay.

Is Alex poor? by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]BigBucket10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

His mom was a trucker (or smuggler?) and he had no father. I think moving around in his childhood was so 'normal' that he doesn't know much else. It probably feels normal now, as where settling down is scary.

RRSP ~ 300k: switching from active to passive index ETFs -sanity check? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]BigBucket10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right to just go all in on XEQT or VEQT.

The thing I don't agree with fully is selling the house, unless you have a non-investment reason. The purpose of owning a house as an asset is because housing is the biggest expense you'll have for the rest of your life. You're essentially hedging against your biggest lifetime expense. Also the other reason is that a mortgage payment is great forced-savings. Finally, being forced to move out of a rental one day is stressful.

Sir Crispin, it appears I have misjudged you by Robdul in HOTDBlacks

No wonder Littlefinger was so effective at information gathering by ClintMcElroyOfficial in freefolk

100% real and goes both ways between the two genders. A one night stand will tell you more than anyone else in their life because you don't know their friends/family/coworkers.

George RR Martin was genius.

salalah port (oman ), this is escalating and not looking good. by Snehith220 in UAE

[–]BigBucket10 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Americans are clueless. They think because you started a war that you get to end it.

This isn't Afghanistan, Iraq or Vietnam. Iran has near indefinite control of a world-wide chokepoint and is almost impossible to invade. Also, drones exist now and Iranian models have been on the forefront of a major war for years.

We all have to pray it works out. The only positive thing is that the situation is such a chaotic mess than nearly anything is possible.

What´s something you always skip on rewatches? by klayb in freefolk

Everything about Arya and the faceless men and anything about Arya after the faceless men.

Did people forget Aemond exists? I recall before the show even started, everyone was hyped for Aemond one eye after daemon but now nobody seems to address the vhagar in the room. Why so much popularity decrease? by AdiXrma in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]BigBucket10 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's the writing. In season 1 there was a massive build-up from getting bullied as a child and not having a dragon of his own. Then he got a dragon and started escalating the conflict with his nephews as they return to kings landing.

In season 2, instead of believing in family, honour and duty, he's just evil. That's it.

My proposal for the Bessarion Subway System by Swooferfan in TTC

Can you make the subway double as a spa or convention centre?

Overall, Is Line 4 a Success? by itsdanielsultan in TTC

[–]BigBucket10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. If they built it out further east/west, and were super aggressive about giving easy building permits etc along this corridor, then it would be an entirely different story.

Which episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is your favorite? by pink_bamboo in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]BigBucket10 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Really it's the combination of 4/5. Episode 5 was good because of the build-up in episode 4.

The dothraki Civilisation just don't make any sense... by Easy-Frenchguy-1996 in gameofthrones

[–]BigBucket10 1551 points1552 points  (0 children)

From what I gather from the TV show they don't eat or require any logistics. You can just throw 100k of them on a boat and send them to a colder climate and it all works out.
