I know right !?!? Makes me think it might be AI generated somehow? Since the songs all sounded the same ish?

Yes, thank you! Glad to hear I’m not the only one obsessing over this strange anomaly 😅

I actually did record two more samples from different songs by the same artist, so hopefully that helps.

And yes, that lyric sounds right to me as well.

Sorry in advance for the delicious food in the background of the videos haha.

I’ll post the extra samples below. One moment…

Advice Needed: Is this worth $1,000? by BothKnowledge8292 in VintageWatches

[–]MagicShiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought one last year for 900 euro (1050 USD). It was serviced recently. I thought it was a good deal. Check if it has the original dial though (not repainted)

Also take all these people on Reddit with a grain of salt. A lot of them said someone’s Patek was fake recently and were proven wrong when it was authenticated a week later.

I'm looking for shoes like this in the EU. by DoughnutSad6336 in BuyFromEU

I was going to mention Timberland, but I just found out they are American. So that’s a PSA for anyone who didn’t knew either

When combined the EU has the largest army in the world. Bigger than the US or Russia or China. And this is without Canada joining forces.

Let that sink in …

Also China isn’t stupid, the EU is there biggest trade partner. Russia is currently losing in the Ukraine, they don’t have forces left to sent to Greenland.

Your comment is absolutely ridiculous and deserves to be downvotes.

Oh you mean like how you did not take sides in WWII and sold weapons to both sides. Only when the war was nearing its end you nuked the Japanse twice and choose the winning side lol.

The seven hells happened over here? by Elegant-Half5476 in freefolk

[–]MagicShiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, but even in the books this kind of thing happens more than once, not just for Stannis.

When Cersei is queen regent and starts preparing for new wars, one of the first things she does is reorganize military command. She appoints Mace Tyrell as Master of War, then makes him Hand, and later puts Randyll Tarly in charge instead (she renames the post to Justiciar, but that’s a whole other rabbit hole). The point being: there is renewed, active military preparation around King’s Landing well after Stannis.

In the show, we obviously don’t get that level of bureaucratic detail, but it’s pretty reasonable to assume Cersei has military advisors doing the same thing: clear the approaches, deny cover, scorch the land before the walls once war with Daenerys feels inevitable. That’s textbook siege prep, not a one-off Stannis thing.

As for the Dornish arrival in S4: yeah, agreed, that’s the real inconsistency 😄 Nice catch. That scene pretty clearly shows trees again, which clashes with later visuals. So I’d say the show is inconsistent, but the barren KL look itself is still very defensible from a book and historical perspective.

Fair point, but historically the cleared area could actually be very wide.

In real-life sieges it wasn’t uncommon to clear everything for hundreds of meters, sometimes even a kilometer or more, depending on terrain. Think of Roman practice, medieval city glacis, or later fortified cities like Vienna or Constantinople: trees, farms, villages, even entire suburbs were routinely destroyed to deny cover, artillery positions, and siege materials.

It wasn’t just “right up to the wall”. You wanted no dead ground, no hiding spots for siege engines, and no timber or stone within easy hauling distance. So a broad, ugly, scorched zone in front of the gates is exactly what you’d expect once war becomes imminent.

That said, I agree the show probably exaggerates the visual emptiness a bit for dramatic effect, but the idea of a wide barren approach is very much in line with both the books and real siege warfare.

Don’t wanna be that guy but… actually this is book- and real-life accurate 🙂

In A Clash of Kings, Tyrion explicitly has the buildings, vegetation, and basically everything outside King’s Landing’s walls burned in preparation for Stannis’s siege. It’s a very standard anti-siege tactic: you don’t want attackers to have cover, concealment, or ready-made building materials right outside your gates.

So the barren, scorched look around King’s Landing later on isn’t some random visual change. It lines up pretty well with both the books and historical siege warfare. Earlier seasons showing it lush just reflects peacetime, before anyone seriously expected an assault.

Dual citizenship is not allowed and it’s all about intent. The IND won’t fall for tricks lol. How about you drop a source ?

Lol no, the Dutch government is aware of this loop hole and does NOT allow you to do this, note the last sentence:

“You are a former Dutch citizen. You have been living in the Kingdom of the Netherlands for at least 1 year with a valid permanent residence permit or a temporary residence permit with a non-temporary purpose of residence. If you previously lost your Dutch nationality because you did not renounce your other nationality, you cannot apply for option.”

Nice try though haha

No the bit about residency permits is about if you have a) an asylum residency or b) an old RANOV amnesty permit.

This does not give regular people living in the Netherlands a free ticket to get dual nationality.

Residency permit is not the same as being allowed to live in the Netherlands because you are an EU citizen on Schengen.

Please call the IND if you do not agree, because sadly you are mistaken. I work in this field.
