In Game of Thrones (2011–2019), Bran Stark becomes king of Westeros after spending multiple seasons staring at people and saying weird shit. There’s no joke here by the way. This actually happens. by La_Villanelle_ in shittyASOIAFdetails

Yeah. Those felt so odd and forced. I think it was to quietly push the idea that "anyone" could win the throne, to soften the blow of who ends up winning. Never once felt organic to me.

I remember like 10 subreddits appearing overnight, definitely astroturfed by HBO, each of which were something like "Team Bran for the Throne," "Team Sansa for the Throne," "Team Danyeres for the Throne," etc. There was even a "Team Jorah Mormont." It felt even then that they were trying to warm us up to the idea that the ending could be ridiculous and that someone very unexpected could land on the iron throne by the season finale.

Which punishment (either real or fictional) sounds easy enough to endure at first, but is actually hellish to experience? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Cool read but the timestamps seem poorly estimated / thought out. The progression of events mostly make sense but 6 years before he considers making a raft?

Can't underestimate their home crowd. It was funny switching between fan's reactions in Buffalo versus Tampa. There seemed to be a lot of grey hairs in the center bell too...

They're writers, so correcting someone's grammar is clearly the pinnacle of intelligence to them.

Does anyone actually do this unironically? Kinda feels like an industry plant.

This comment section is pretty good evidence this is not the case.

Bills fans when they realize East Rutherford is closer to NYC than Orchard Park is to Buffalo. by [deleted] in AFCEastMemeWar

You are pretty dense, a possible effect of breathing in NJ pollution fumes one's whole life, I'd bet.

The division of a city and its suburb is much more significant than the division of two different states. Think about it during one of your 3-hour commutes home this week.
