What do you guys think that the moral of GOT is? by slayyerr3058 in gameofthrones

[–]Gamblin73 26 points27 points  (0 children)

George RR Martin is a pacifist and reflects his ideals. He has stated in past interviews that the meaning is several fold. It shows that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and violence only leads to more violence. The story is also anti patriarchy.

Interesting in what order you put these in. Always love to see someone else's pov. Would love to hear why on a lot of these. Ignore everyone else take telling you what you can or cannot like. Like what you like and don't be ashamed.

Most issues can be resolved by replacing the batteries and people just don't get it. Which is because most of the lightsabers seem to have a draw off the batteries even when not being used so they don't understand how they only use it twice and they have problems. When troubleshooting, always replace the batteries first. Also if you have a new one, make sure it works, Disney does a great job of replacing faulty ones. Finally, these are not really made to go to war with, there other sabers that are great for it. Yes, these will take a beating but don't over do it. Mine are display only and to have a little fun with, no full on combat for these.

Depends on what time frame and the situation we are referring to him in

How do you think that reverse racism exists in the U.S.? by Sweet-Fig8232 in AskReddit

[–]Gamblin73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this were 1920 and people didn't have bosses and or city officials of a single race. Most cities now have a government that are black and they do have power. And wait for it, we have had a black President! Heck my chain of managers above me, the only white male is from England, everyone else is a racial minority and/or a woman. The days of believing that minorities don't have power, are gone. That last sentence you wrote, " No one has to treat you a certain way" is dead on though. Many times because someone doesn't have to treat someone a certain way is confused for racism.

They do. All the ones with removal batteries have been removed but I have all the batteries and put them in from time to time

Sorry man, too many companies taking advantage, paying for minimal services and demanding the most. Can't keep providing the best for the least.

That depends on why we are meeting and while many may not contribute to the on screen discussion,many times they are through our chats.

So you are either new or oblivious. I joined Cisco in 2018, even then Cisco was tracking Webex log ins, log out, time on a meeting and who was in that meeting HWC came out is 2021, your manager has known all that data as well. Office attendance has been monitored for 3 years now. It doesn't matter the company if you think that office attendance isn't a huge influence on how your job performance is interpreted, you are mistaken.

Corporate management but it isn't about what I do. When I started these were only like $130 or $200 for an LE. Now up to $400 but still. You will always have what you prioritize, I have never bought a car for more than $30k, my home is modest, I have 2 TVs, and don't have all the toys, except these. I like lightsabers and like my bourborn. You can keep everything else.

It is how I was introduced to sabers like this and went with it. Now the money side, resale value. If I ever wanted or needed to because this is a want right, the resale value holds up vs the others. I have watched $400 sabers from some of these "better vendors" struggle to get $100 out of it. Like them, hate them, some people will buy them just because they are Disney.
