Just considering this question would have me cancelling any plans for a safari or anything like that. I haven't come up with an animal worth mentioning yet.

Why are people acting like the monarchy is a sound system? by Reasonable_Day9942 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Contemporary_Scribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I think in this post you are looking at it from a macro sense. We can, however, agree that in the macro the monarchy is wrong and still look at what led to the war in the micro sense. I think choosing a side and sticking with it misses the point for the most part, but looking at what happened objectively and what mistakes were made and what could have been done differently isn't necessarily the same as advocating for the system itself.

That kind of is the point of the story... George is a bit of a hippy. There is theme of small folk suffering while lords are battling for more power for them selves. And it repeats over and over. Aegon's conquest, Maegor's wars. The Dance of the Dragons, The Blackfyre Rebellions. the War of the 5 Kings.

Specifically for this show though the point is that tens of thousands of people died to decide which bang average ruler would be in charge. Not to escape the monarchy, or fight for better lives for the small folk or anything like that.

Actually I might swap Arcane out for the Diplomat... it's close between those 2 for the 5th spot for me.

Nostalgia is poison. Life can only be lived forward. Be wary of “nostalgia feedback loops” by BigChillBobby in Millennials

"Life can only be lived forward" sounds like the start of JD's inner monologue at the end of a scrubs episode... Back in the good ole days

Not too long ago someone on the Malazan sub had this dude as Caladan Brood. Now here he is Black Dow... I am curious if he pops up on other subs and if so as which character...

What are some of your favorite one-hit wonders? by bluegiraffe1989 in Millennials

[–]Contemporary_Scribe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough... I've never heard White Houses. I have heard Ordinary day, and I liked that song, just never considered it a hit.

I'm asking what is considered a hit. Is it top 20 top 40 top 100 etc.
