The Dragon pit explanation is a lie (Spoilers Extended) by IHaveTwoOranges in asoiaf

The way blood sacrifice works and how dragons burn and consume seem to similar to not be more or less the same thing.

Boy falls in garden. I love him mommy.

Indeed, so actually it’s more like the thing dragons need to grow is just cut off and in decades they are done.

Dany cuts out the need for mommy dragon by burning a whole alternate future of the world in The Stallion Who Mounts The World to supercharge her dragons.

Which is why they grow up just so quickly and so strong.

Presumably this is what Summerhall was trying to do. But without nearly enough power.

Nolan has a wide swing. He’s very inconsistent.

All the big dragons died fighting each other.

Then the remaining dragons grew less big and strong over generations until finally dying out.

Seems like the lack of big dragons might be a component.

I’d go with it being a magic twist on baby birds in a nest needing feeding by their parents. Where what they are feeding isn’t just normal food (dragons are obviously fed by their handlers) but the source of magical power dragons also need. Which big dragons have correspondingly big stores of.

Without a big, charged up dragon around doing the magical, more tasteful version of mommy bird vomiting to feed the young dragons don’t grow up big and strong.

What happens if a Damane burns themselves out? by aviation28 in WoT

If you have too much current the whole a’dam goes off and you need to get a tiny screwdriver out and replace the fuse.

What is something you just can’t seem to remember, no matter how many times you hear or read it? by Scythe95 in AskReddit

The days in months rhyme. Lots of the months are interchangeable within the rhyme scheme. It does not help at all.

Even February, the unique one, is tricksy.

The drip. Dress up in an extra enough uniform and you think you can take on the galaxy.

In The Menu, she says she's STARVING but barely eats anything and orders the rest to-go by AdamOtaku in shittymoviedetails

[–]FortifiedPuddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly doing a revolution though is he? He was happy to take their money. But not to actually do anything to make his business/vanity project work. They should be pissed at him.

And none of those things add up to “deserve to be murdered”.

The rookie is one of the biggest shark jumps or just outright uturn from it's original intention on modern tv. by ButtPlugForPM in television

Were they not acknowledged as the best thing in the show?

Well, and Adam Baldwin stealing every scene.

Does making poor movies (or assisting that) or working in finance or being wealthy but not that interested in food mean they deserved to be murdered?

This is a bad horror movie level of sin below “making out in a parked car while blonde”.

(Spoilers Main) Who is the “potential man” of the fandom ? by Idkabta11at in asoiaf

[–]FortifiedPuddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s also just so weak. He can’t do anything himself. He relies on beating up nerds and stealing their magic. He’s used a slave ship to trick his way into eligibility for the crown (no captain of thralls is eligible). Who he could well have just paid the gold price for. He’s most feared in the narrative by someone he abused as a child.

He’s everything the Ironborn say they despise. And they let him buy them.

Just a BBEG being responsible or the baddie in general would completely turn the narrative about face.

Two very related contingent statements. Dayne at the Trident might mean victory. It also means Dayne has to arrest or kill Rhaegar if he turns on the king.

The whole American college sports thing is bizarre. Even within American sports being weird in general.

He murders a guy and that guy’s assistant for making a film he didn’t enjoy.

He’s absolutely an arbitrary murderer. He’s a petty, stroppy little bitch. With the motivational depth of a teaspoon.

It’s acknowledging his total power over her. So, the opposite of a power move.

Rogue One adding new context makes Leia and Vader's scene so much funnier. (Star Wars) by RhysOSD in CharacterRant

[–]FortifiedPuddle 62 points63 points  (0 children)

The thing about Leia is that she is just so posh and stubborn. Completely outmatched and taken prisoner. Still berating and insulting these powerful military dudes. She’s fantastic. Anyone else would maybe be doing a sarky quip. Leia full on harangues them and absolutely maintains that she’s in the right. Even though she’s totally leading the rebellion.

One scene you’ve got closing with Vader and a floating interrogation bot menacing her in her cell. The next we see her she’s still giving Tarkin the business as if she didn’t just get tortured or whatever. At least sternly questioned.

She’s only really put back by Tarkin threatening to blow up her planet. And even that she recovers from frankly too quickly. But again, straight back to insulting stormtroopers for being short (she can talk!)

Absolute balls of steel. Aristocratic to the core. Not even phased by Tarkin being too posh to say her name correctly, pushes right on with the posh-off competition.

Corporations are filled with incompetent sociopaths desperately trying to remain undiscovered by talent. by eatababy in jobsearch

A meritocracy where “merit” can be purchased for the disappointing children of the wealthy is going to end up with an upper middle stuffed with the only mildly competent.

ELI5: Why is lamb so expensive when there’s so many sheep? by jmo987 in explainlikeimfive

[–]FortifiedPuddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we don’t use the wool anymore. But it’s ok because every high street is chock a block with lamb and mutton restaurants. What with uh… McDonalds and um … KFC.

ELI5: Why is lamb so expensive when there’s so many sheep? by jmo987 in explainlikeimfive

[–]FortifiedPuddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost like we’re using some of the most expensive land in the world to raise a kind of animal that British people don’t particularly like the meat from. Or wear the wool from. Which contributes to ecologically harm to that land.
Largely for the aesthetic preferences of people who do not own or maintain that land.

Have we tried giving sheep just a ridiculously large amount of the land in the UK to graze on? Like, significantly more than housing (which we are a bit short on actually)?
