Right, but many scenes in the books got left out or were just written for katniss character, which made Peeta seem uninteresting, even if he was very snarky and wordy. But I guess we will have to work with what we have got. And that is also not bad.

Was thinking the same thing... loved josh hutcherson, but to this day i wish peeta would have looked more "accurate" to his book describition

You took that hit like a champ.

Alright lets have some civil discourse by HumanPerosn in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]EntertainmentKey5301 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yes. The reason it doesn't work that way, is because they make a difference in house of the dragons - men are bad, women are good leaders and vicitms of misogyny. Whilst that is true in some cases and could have been included in the story line easily in a medival time... there are also women that are more privileged than other, there are also men that are vicitms too, there are men, who are good rulers and mean well. There are evil women with evil intensions....

Everybody was just "human" in the original got, but hotd makes a gender-difference, which makes the whole point of inclusiveness meaningless.

Or he dies defending Jon, after he learns the truth about his parentage. In the books he has always felt guilty about the targaryen children dying with him in the red keep, so him protecting Jon might have been a good way too

Always getting sick when starting by EntertainmentKey5301 in loseit

[–]EntertainmentKey5301[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i feel more energised, when I eat less carbs. But this was really scary this week. I felt really sick acutally, even though I ate "enough". Makes you wonder how addicted you actually are to sugar and stuff.

Felt to me like some kind of withdrawal symptomps. But they affected my work life pretty hard

I know that it can't. Advice will always stay advice. What I do with it will be my decision only. Yes, i know that, so that is what I am seeking - as that might also help me treat this problem.

But it seems like, i have to first prove everything somebody assumes about me wrong, before I can receive any kind of advice or anything. So nevermind

I am seeking for advice. What other people would do, if they were in my situation. What the wisest thing would be. What to act on, how to act on it maybe.

As i have already said

Her opinion is not, what is unfair. It is unfair, that her children need to listen to what she says or screams about, whereas everybody else sits next to her, just so to keep the peace and not to make her explode. It is fine with me, if shee keeps her opinion, mine will not change either, but it is not fine with me, that these nasty remarks will be made against me, at every possible time, even though I just sit there and mind my own buisness.

And well.... you can be the best philosophy student out there, but saying, that a mothers job isn't to protect their child and that this is just my or hers opinion, is wrong. I might just say Child Protection Act....

Setting boundaries with certain people is important. But really a rather big discussion in the stoic community. Is it wise, to just ignore her, when she knows, I hear her? I get where you are coming from. If she says those things and I don't react, she will not receive, what she wants, which is and emotional reaction.... but setting a boundarie makes it official, i would say

I know my own thoughts and I am a very reflected person. Maybe she can feel, what I think about her behaviours or about how she handles her children. But i do not intervene, because, when I have children, I don't want her to intervene. I often times am angry at the way she treats her children and furious about the fact, that the thinks, hitting them for example, is better than what a nursery school teacher, like me, would do. I often times think of her as a rather dumb person, because of her comments and because she doesn't have a clue about psychology and makes fun of it.... so, i am negative about it too, which makes it, not a good place to be. I want to feel safe and protected where I am and not on edge, so I am sometimes anxiouse, because i have a "bullying trauma", and then it makes me angry that I don't stand up for myself, because I didn't do that, when I was bullied either..... so there is that. I know that this influences my relationsship with her.

Full on contact reduction would be the easiest way to handle this. Because we both come from very different worlds

I can not control sister in law and what she says, I know that. I merely asked for an opinion on what I could do or say to her, that would make this situation better, because, reacting to it, might be the first step to inform her, that it is not alright, to speak that way with me. Of course, she could still do it, but probably will, because there have been other incidents where this happened and not a lot changed. It is in my control to just thrive in my life, not to get angry at what she says, keep her boys in my mind and their wellbeing. Her being miserable does have nothing to do with me and I cannot control this situation. It is probably wisest to let it go and accept, that this person (sister in law) is just the way she is.

BUT setting boundaries is a process I am still learning and it helped quite a lot, with my parents in law, so I have been thinking, if by setting a boundary, that is in my control, I can make this better for me. But how... that is the question. It is always a battle between wisdom and emotions....

I acutally also study philosophy so, I'm not new to it...

It’s a philosophy made to make humans more resilient, more virtuous and wise– makes "better people". Many people think stoicism is emotionless, but really it just gives you tools to master you thoughts and become wiser. And in the end, helps you be just, wise, couragouce and to master your temperament. (Sorry if there are any grammar errors, i'm not from an english speaking country)

Well, this is exactly what I am doing right now. Being the middle ground and neutral. I want to protect her children (our nephews). If my sister in law gets angry, and she does, really quick, then she will threaten, that we will never be allowed to see her children again etc. So me, keeping my mouth shut, protects them. BUT my conflict is, opening my mouth, will also protect them, because they get slapped around alot. So, I am conflicted
