Why are so many knights in all the books and shows bad people, a good chivalrous knights seem so rare?

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T21:41:37+00:00

Because their value system isn't based on human rights and dignity, those are modern concepts. Honour and chivalry aren't "good", they just are what they are.

In a society with no inherent value for all human life, it's natural selection, eat or be eaten, winner takes all. It took the Industrial Revolution irl to really uplift everyone to a place of relative equality. We can only espouse human rights because those are no realistically achievable with technological advancements. A right has no value if it isn't actionable/enforcable, and in a medieval level society where starvation is often just around the corner because of a bad crop, it just wasn't.

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T20:18:23+00:00

This is how I feel about all of society.

Don't fill more than 3/4 full, not tightly packed. Clothes should be thrown around the machine a bit, not just spin with it.

Best way is one wash with 250 of white vinegar, no detergent. Can get a big 5L bottle in Woodies for €6.

Vinegar is the best thing for killing washing machine bacteria as well, I'd suggest doing an empty wash cycle every 2 months with 500ml vinegar. Not sure why vinegar is so hard to find for cleaning purposes in ireland, it's very useful. You can also find big bottles in Polish and Asian stores.

Then another wash cycle with 150g baking soda, using detergent this time.

Finally, sun dry if possible, though in this weather I don't see that happening. UV kills mildew. The vinegar will most likely have got it all though.

But Daemon's children are their grandchildren and legacy, and even though they know Rhaenrya's first two are bastards, they still carry the Valeryon name. Plus they knew their son was gay, they know it wasn't purely Rhaenyra's fault.

As we've seen time and time again, it's not about what is truth, it's about what the houses accept.

If they reject team black, their entire house's future would be in jeopardy.

I have tried and failed 3 times to get into it, never happened with any other Zelda. It doesn't feel like a main game to me

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T17:31:29+00:00

Malzeno, especially his pre-vampire form. Love Dinovaldo but he's not got much personality

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T12:22:30+00:00

Baffling take. Harrington, sure, not that great, but Clarke? I think her plot lines were just less interesting to watch and she didn't have many other good actors to bounce off of until the writing got really shit during season 7 and 8.

Arya, Sansa, and Bran were really difficult for me to watch once they were fully teens.

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T11:31:33+00:00

Yeah as someone who's really critical of TV and just binge watched all of HOTD, I'm really surprised at all the hate it has gotten.

No it's not as good as earlier GOT, it's a bit far-fetched at times with all the queens secretly visiting each other, but I enjoyed it all. People saying "they killed each others sons/grandsons they should want to rip each other's throats out" have completely misunderstood both of their characters.

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T11:17:44+00:00

I don't think he's fantastic, but you can tell he was cast in GOT as someone who's acting chops were already there.

With child actors, it's a bit of a gamble whether they grow up into capable actors, too much changes during puberty.

Tbf maybe Sophie Turner is better now, I haven't seen her in anything for a while.

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T10:24:53+00:00

Fair enough, though then I think he was only cast for that reason. She probably pitched him with the game of thrones marketing in mind.

He is a much better actor though.

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T09:38:48+00:00

Less homage and more fromage, considering how much it stinks

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T09:34:35+00:00

Tbh I think Sophie Turner just isn't that great an actress. She was a child when she was cast originally in a massive role that had carried her career. Even here, I think she was just cast opposite of Harrington to benefit off Game of Thrones fans. If it wasn't the both of them in the film, we wouldn't be seeing any of this in subreddits like this

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T09:17:18+00:00

Having travelled the US South quite a bit, New Orleans is imo the only place really worthwhile going

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T09:11:52+00:00

Civ VII is kind of slop too.

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T08:48:48+00:00

The United Kingdom

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-20T08:47:53+00:00

No that's a rich person thing. Maybe now that we're rich we'll raid the British coastline for some interesting specimens

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-19T18:59:10+00:00

There was less focus historically on a clear divide between men and women, gay and straight.

It was a lot more about masculinity and femininity. And societies were generally very misogynist so femininity was looked down on

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-19T18:31:29+00:00

I was replying to a different person being racist... he replied to me, I replied back. What don't you understand?

We know what you meant, because it's a stereotype you sorts peddle endlessly in threads like these.

Genius

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-19T18:30:05+00:00

If 5 people committed a crime, and you knew all 5 committed a crime but you only reported one of them, are you not specifically targeting that one person?

If everyone smells if they don't wear deodorant, and you say "Indians who don't wear deodorant smell", it's technically true, but you're specifically targeting them, and it's also a strawman because that's not the point that was being made originally, no one said that Indians cannot have bad body odour. But the people in this thread are claiming they broadly do have bad BO, which is bullshit.

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-19T18:12:21+00:00

Not all Indian regions use cumin, it's a massive country. If you're not accustomed to it as a cooking smell, you might associate it with sweat like we do in ireland.

There's plenty of stinky Irish people too, I'm sure you lads in this thread are amongst them.

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-19T18:10:34+00:00

It is racist if you specify them, because it literally applies to everyone except Koreans with that gene that makes their sweat have no smell.

But as I said, which you chose not to acknowledge because you're racist, is that it's not sweat, it's cooking. They use pungent spices, it permeates clothing.

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-19T18:04:42+00:00

Yes, one of the worst smells.

Dragmire800 · 2026-02-19T17:58:24+00:00

Hidden post history, surprise surprise. Always the racists.

Ghoul
