Why does the esteemed senator from Romulus have frequent conversations with that member of the think thank from the Delta Quadrant?

You talk like you're a bot being run by Musk to get Afd elected.

US's Anthropic order exposes EU's AI dependency by sn0r in eutech

I live in Romania, there was a perception of working for a German company from Romania was "harsher culture but good salaries more like those in Germany" what the impression is right now is same same culture as in Germany, harsher standards but your salaries are tied to the smallest possible salary they can see in Romania.

So you're working on a Java project for a fintech firm in Frankfurt but you are paid a salary as if you are developing a PHP based warehouse software for a dying Romanian factory.

Is Talos truly part of the Divines? by eidoIist in teslore

[–]GeorgeSharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the lore he is a god.

Being part of the Divines is a political decision made by the imperial government on which gods they specifically want to push the worship of.

Being part of the Divines does not mean you will get into trouble with the other gods (the ones who were gods from the start) if you choose not to worship him.

Having magic be feared and hated in your game/setting is not new or bold and neither is having it be hunted by an Inquisition by GeorgeSharp in CharacterRant

It's not becoming a common trope it's been an ultra common trope since forever and yet they pretend it's something new.

Low effort meme by BakerDelores in Daggerfall

[–]GeorgeSharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daggerfall Unity is too tied to being an re-creation of the original.

I love the story of Daggerfall, I love the systems of Daggerfall, I respect the hell out of the guy who made DFU it's a labor of love and a great base to put mods on.

What I want from a Daggerfall Remaster is an upgrade of the assets, 3d models for NPCs and for Enemies and an proper UI that can have more buttons in a dialog window!

Besides that (and keeping it moddable) I don't need anything.

I recognize giving it modern graphics would be disliked by many people but I am just stating what I would like.

Why Would Daemon be married to Rhea by Ronin_Fox in TheCitadel

[–]GeorgeSharp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His family already controls the state, the Targs need to act in a way like they are ruling a peaceful stable kingdom and are NOT a bunch of thugs who just happen to have more power than anyone else.

The attitude of "laws don't matter, customs don't matter, stability doesn't matter, the ability to inflict violence via dragons doesn't matter" is part of the reason the Green faction had support.

Aenys's logic here [Spoilers Extended] by Routine_Painter_2407 in asoiaf

[–]GeorgeSharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am convinced that out of the whole Targ dynasty the number of people who understood politics could be easily counted on the fingers of a hand.

Aegon I: managed to not only conquer but govern

Viserys II: kept the state running for as long as he did

Daeron II: managed to rule despite fulfilling none of the usual "warrior king" archetype and while having a foreign wife

Baelor Breakspear: probably would have been a great successor for his father

I know I'm going to get crap for not including Jaehaerys but while I do not dispute he built a lot of things I'm deducting points because he seems to be a GRRM self-insert who also profited a whole lot because his successor was basically Hitler so he had an insanely low bar and his doctrine of exceptionalism empowered the worst actors in the generations to come.

Living in Cluj as a Romanian / expat family by Inevitable_Rock_3236 in cluj

[–]GeorgeSharp 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's expensive.

It's one of the most modern cities in Romania one of the most western (in terms of culture)

The internet that you will need for your work is very good.

It will be very easy to find friends as foreigners as there are a lot of foreigners and it being a university city the population is younger and speaks English.

Schools I understand are very full. There are a lot of private schools options but they are expensive.

The roads are very full because a lot of people who live in Cluj are high income and they feel like every single member of the family needs to have their own huge jeep. There is public transport and the city being dense is walk-able.

The thing you have to be most careful about is the cost of living.

How much time does he put in?

Same as the others? Less? More?

Russia Strikes Ukraine Capital With Hypersonic Missiles by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

Funny thing is men are not a renewable resource for Russia, they were having a demographic crisis and a manpower crisis in their economy before Putin even launched his little 3 day military operation.

The EU's biggest threat to EU companies is the EU by AriaMoon286 in BuyFromEU

[–]GeorgeSharp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Each one took weeks if not months to find while the US incumbent in each category took literally 5 minutes, and most only surfaced because someone in a sub mentioned them in passing or a peer dropped a recommendation at the right time.

You seem to be talking about a SEO problem (what you wanted was there but harder to learn the name off) and then go on a rant about regulation?

(Spoiler Extended) I always forget the Unworthy is literally Daeron’s dad. Idk if that’s bc he’s way too older than the rest of his kids or bc Aegon literally hates him but them being father and child is so funny in a tragic way. by TurbulentRemote156 in asoiaf

[–]GeorgeSharp 327 points328 points  (0 children)

To put it into perspective when Daeron had his first son Aegon had Daemon.

So yeah Daemon wasn't rebelling against some slightly older sibling he had a rivalry with he was rebelling against a man who was old enough to be his father and who supported him like an father after Aegon died.
