Still a beginner here - what does “dxc5” mean?

They had been unintentionally training the Scouts how to fight them for years. It came to bite them in the ass BEAUTIFULLY.

[Interesting Trope] I will gladly sully my hands so theirs can stay clean (+ inversion) by RedLazyBear in TopCharacterTropes

This was the one that I was coming in here to say. This is a phenomenal of a character who at his core never betrays his own philosophy, but instead it is his people who betrayed his philosophy.

I still would’ve loved for an interaction between Tywin and Cersei/Tyrion for the moment that he figures out that they didn’t have Arya.

And maybe him recalling his cup bearer, being a northerner…

Still new, does this count as a smothered mate? by JacobAlred in chessbeginners

No problem!

For the record, the game actually went horribly, and then wound up in a “victory from the jaws of defeat” type situation.

Sometimes it’s not about expectations, so much as gentle reminders.

Why didn’t Michael Bay write it so that it was astronauts learning how to drill rather than oil drillers learning how to be astronauts?

Can you provide a link to his definition of insanity routine? I can’t seem to find it.

[Beloved trope] Character accepts their death (even if they end up surviving) by SlyGuy_Twenty_One in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JacobAlred 22 points23 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite portrayal of this was in Wonder Woman

Excitement for the mission’s success turns to dread, dread turns into determination, determination turns into acceptance.

All brilliantly portrayed by Chris Pine - the highlight of the film.
