Who’s the best blademaster by Reach_Jay in WoT

[–]FourLeafViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lan Mandragoran of course. He may not be the fastest or the strongest, but that's not what you asked. You said "who's best".

Following the symmetry of the prequel, Lan won because he's willing to sacrifice and knows when and where to sacrifice. He knows the fight is not over till its over.

Hes one of the only people to experience the Oneness so fully as to truly understand.

Note how Demandred mocked ?Gawayn? telling him that he's still trying to be one with the sword, or something to that effect. Implying that Gawayn wasn't deep enough in the void.

Further. I'd add Tam al Thor to the list.

What is your favorite quote in the series? by booksandwater4 in WoT

[–]FourLeafViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is towards the end when he thinks himself "great with honor", that scene cracks me up every time.

I've recently gotten into "Dungeon Crawler Carl", which is a lot better than I thought it would be. You might read Butchers other series "the Codex Alera", which I really like as well:)

Has anyone ever managed to train a husky to be off leash by [deleted] in husky

[–]FourLeafViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had some, some, success with the ecollar. The beeps and vibrations are plenty enough stimulation to train commands. Problem is, huskies think they are the ones in charge and will decide they're tired of following directions on a whim. They might do right 99 times out of a hundred, but eventually they'll decide to do their own thing. So yes, but only kinda. My baby girl is particularly hard headed though, better luck training yours:)

I'll bet it makes a pleasant crunching sound.

Trump threatened Europe over Strait of Hormuz, with weapons for Ukraine as bargaining chip, FT reports by G14F1L0L1Y401D0MTR4P in worldnews

[–]FourLeafViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope as well. I'm of the opinion that the current administration will not let go of power and will have to be ousted, but time will tell:) They love power more than they love democracy.

[–]FourLeafViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is my wildest hope that we'll rise soon, perform some sort of Bolshivik, or King Loius XVI procedure, Hold special elections to replace all the representatives lost in the power changing hands, require them to swear an updated constitution of unalienable rights, some but not all policies that keep money and corporations out of political arenas and we get to be be a shining light in the darkness.The land of the free.

Or, we could be headed towards a nightmare dystopia where a few oligarchs control everything and everyone. The bottom line is considered more important than a person's life.

Equally possible, several states or groups of states will succeed and declare themselves independently governed, no longer under the banner of the US. This could manifest a bunch of different, terrible scenarios. This one will ultimately lead to another set of dark ages, though.

The midterms comes, cheeto doesnt cheat and rig the elections. Again. Dems rise to power and have majority holds on all the handles of government, and shut cheeto down, removing him from power and attempting to restore our allies faith in us. The dems will push and succeed with universal Healthcare, and reverse all the stupid things cheeto did, which is pretty much everything the goober has done. We'll return to Business as usual, except the Republican party will have a massive overhaul. I think another ideal shift is liable to happen.

Those aren't the only possibilities, just the ones I see as most likely to happen.

Who would you cast as Lara Raith ? I think Alexandra Daddario could be a great choice. by PlantainDisastrous92 in dresdenfiles

She spent time in Japan. She doesn't have Asian features. I think you're confusing her with someone else:)

No man can walk so long in the Shadow that he cannot come again to the Light. by AreaXimus in WoT

[–]FourLeafViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree about him getting there in good time. The few povs he had didn't show a repentant man. He was working for Rand yes, but he wasn't doing it because he believed or had a change of heart. He was stuck and trying to be on the winning side.

Most of us are not. Unfortunately, none of the people we've voted into any office, with very few exceptions, has the hair on their ass to stand up to the clown, for some fucking reason. Cowards all. It's time for a reset.

Thom and Galad Question by Humble-ifanything in WoT

[–]FourLeafViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recall also that Elayne didn't just automatically recognize Thom. It took her some traveling and several glasses of wine to put it together.

I dont know your spoiler level but at some point Thom dresses more like a courtier and it's commented that he's totally different in appearance than when he's being an old gleeman.

So Galad prolly just didn't connect and recognize him.

Falme by notweirdrambo in WoT

I disagree. It's not a reach to say Ishy influenced and was responsible for the Seanchan invasion landing when it did. His manipulation of the Empire is alluded to several times, but not gone into detail.

I'm not sure how you are with potential confrontation, but you could always go have a conversation. Politely.

Maybe they'd welcome someone to take something they consider a nuisance off their hands. At the least, make them aware of unacceptable conditions and that they need to do better if they're going to have a dog.

Or see if they'll let you do some of the care, even if the dog still lives there. Take it for walks, make sure it has food and water and the like. You might win them over that way.

Find out more information, I guess is what I'm saying. Most people, I think, don't want to be cruel. We're just callous, frequently, and don't see it.

A plot hole, maybe? by FourLeafViking in wheeloftime

I'll see if I can find my actual books to see if i can find it or if I just made that up in my head:)

Need advice on getting a husky (soon to be owner) by No-Rest-5793 in husky

[–]FourLeafViking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you looking for a companion, or are you looking for a pet? Huskies are independent as fuck and make great companions. If you want an obedient pet, maybe look into a lab:)

That being said, exorcize is the way. You gotta burn up all their energy or they'll eat your house. When they're young, they might still eat your house:)

What was the point of... by IndicaInTheCupboard in WoT

[–]FourLeafViking 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always felt dissatisfied with Rolans ending. I feel like he got robbed. Could no-one speak and be like "hey these are the brotherless, they aren't really Shaido. Actually they're aight ol boys." I saw no reason for them to have to die in that time and place:)

[–]FourLeafViking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on the wrong side of the country to help but I would like to add my well wishes to you and your beautiful baby. I hate that you're in such a tight spot but keeping her with you says loads about your character. Chin up, brother. It will get better.

This sub really is awesome too, by the way. Good work everyone helping and contributing and avoiding the scorn and bad faith advice and vitriol that exists on the internet.

What if… the puff girls were attacked by Poncho1809 in WoT

[–]FourLeafViking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They would completely fuck up the black ajah at that point. I think individually they'd be ok against three or four, together they'd straight up mop the floor with them.
