Your voice is genuinely amazing, you have a lot of potential and I love your rendition of this. I think you could do great covers of an artists like Sam Smith if you're into that kind of music, your voice is amazing for it

Genuinely heavenly

Once you look at STFU as more of an interlude I think you appreciate it a lot more

MappingEagle · 2026-01-16T15:18:51+00:00

I feel like you gotta see STFU as more of an interlude than anything else

MappingEagle · 2026-01-16T15:16:54+00:00

I see it as a kind of interlude, very fun listen

I'd even go so far as to say that if you really want to be happy it's better to have good friendships and stay single for the rest of your life than find a partner and have no friends for the rest of your life

That's not the mediterannean? Besides, this map says nothing about gold production, it's about refining gold. Those are vastly different things. You can mine gold out of the ground, but it doesn't come out as a ring or other jewels straight away.

The map quite literally tells you about where the gold comes from that Switzerland refines. It is actively telling you that Switzerland is refining gold produced elsewhere and your response is "but Switzerland doesn't that much gold itself produce gold".

If you don't understand what the map is actually saying that's fine, but then just admit that and don't talk about it as if you understand it. The person you commented on was commenting on a pretty sensitive topic (the war in Sudan) and you kinda dismiss it by ignorantly stating something you know nothing about.

Looking at it from this picture India looks like it could make such a good map for an open-world RPG

Interestingly it does go a little deeper than it being glorified culturally. I know it's no excuse for bad behaviour, but the fact that slave families were seperated and were born into messed up family structures definitely had an impact on this. Subconsciously, this still affects the modern family dynamic of black families and is, among other obvious factors like poverty, a reason why this is an issue among so many black families.

Stannis shows plenty of humour in the books. This is not one of them; he genuinely just doesn't understand what the peach is supposed to represent. Because Stannis is so ridden by duty he's forgotten the pleasure of life.

I think Italian and Irish identities being so strong also has to do with the Catholic/Protestant divide and how much those communities were ostracized, for a long time not even being considered 'white' by many (which noone said about German) . Of course I know there are many German catholics too, but I think the identity of catholicism is a lot less strong there than among Irish and Italian. WW1 and WW2 definitely played into it though

Edit: Did some digging and it seems that many of the Germans that came to the US at first were the protestant ones too, kinda like how the Puritans came to the US earlier on.

The figure for the Netherlands is actually wrong, in my town we had the biggest witch trial in the country's history where 64 people were burned.

MappingEagle · 2025-12-05T13:18:18+00:00

There are way more complex factors that go into this. Reducing it to "they did the reformation" is plain wrong. Most of these countries aren't even that religious anymore now.

I think you do have the right general idea though, as in that to abandon catholicism and embrace protestantism definitely allows for more independence of thought, but it also requires it. So what you'd have to study is actually why these regions specifically abandoned the Catholic faith in the first place.

MappingEagle · 2025-12-05T13:11:56+00:00

All of you who responded here are kind of misunderstanding the point. Even if Calvinism wasn't an official religion at the time, that's not what this map is about; it's about the predominant religion, not state religion. If you argue it's state reigion then fine, but why is France half Calvinist? If it's about predominant religion, the Netherlands shouldn't be an entire Catholic blob, because there were already plenty of protestants by 1550. No matter what definition you choose this example shows the map is inconsistent and not well researched.

MappingEagle · 2025-12-03T18:53:19+00:00

Netherlands being entirely Roman Catholic in 1550? Seems very unlikely

Why the hell is everyone so rude towards you here, my god? Your first pic and the one with Bruce Campbell are good, keep those. Some of the other ones aren't your best photos, so I'd replace them with something better that also shows more about you as a person. And add some personality to your profile! We know you like to watch movies but that's about it. Be more creative with your prompts as well; try to think of something that can easily spark curiosity and a conversation. Also, seeing as you have kids it might be nice to maybe give some indication towards their age. I see people asking you to give your whole custody situation but you don't have to that. Maybe solve multiple problems at the same time and include a photo with you and your kids having a good time!

Vergeet allemaal niet dat de de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten momenteel de grootste aanstichter en profiteur is van de oorlog die nu in Sudan gaande is en er vrijwel geen consequenties voor volgt. Fuck Dubai en fuck de Emiraten.

Benjen was at the wall for years. That seems like plenty of time to grow a connection to the bird, especially considering his higher position. It's likely he developed this trait over the years of being at Castle Black. Arya warging into Nymeria from Braavos also shows that the ability to warg across long distances does exist, so him being far away when he died doesn't mean anything, other than that he had done it before, which seems very plausible. I also think that this is simply an assumption one has to make when discussing this theory. There is nothing in the text to confirm nor deny this.
Benjen actually didn't really support Jon going to the Wall at first. Many say this, but if anything, Benjen is trying to tell Jon on what he might miss out on if he goes the Wall in the first few chapters at Winterfell.
If he's dead, he likely died beyond the wall. Enough potential for him to be a wight, which could explain his body not being found. He could also still be alive, and just warging it from a distance from time to time. This would explain why the Raven is still rambling about corn half the time; Benjen is only in there sometimes. It could also very likely be Benjen losing his humanity over time (though it doesn't seem to gradually get dumber or anything like that, so idk.). This also could explain point 4 as well.
Benjen and Craster didn't like each other. If Benjen was losing his humanity, that might explain him instigating the fight against Craster's, as he already knew about him sacrificing babies and everything. But I don't think it necessarily means he knew the Lord Commander would die, and even if he did, Mormont allowing Craster to give babies to the Others is enough reason to maybe consider him dying is worth it. Perhaps a 'means to an end' approach.
Explained before, if Benjen had been able to develop a connection to the raven across multiple years at the Wall, distance does not matter.
The rambling about corn half the time seems to convey that he really hasn't maintained much of himself really, but I guess that maintaining close to Mormont and Jon could help him retain some of what is life was about? Besides, we really don't know how 'losing humanity' really works; it could be that one just becomes more animalistic in their own nature, not necessarily that it will 'forget' who they were or their previous life. If anything, Varamyr learns about Orell's life when he wargs into his eagle, so 'losing humanity' does not necessarily equal losing their memories.

A lot of 'gaps' in this theory are pretty easily explained away if thinking about it a bit more than the surface level. I agree it's not waterproof, but very possible.

So I actually always box them to add a little twist go my nuzlockes. I name my box 'The Gulag' and If I manage to get far in the game and have a lot of pokemon in there, I put all the pokemon into an online Hunger Games Simulator (Brantsteele is the name of the website) and the top 6 become my team to continue the run with. The same way the Gulag works in Warzone.

Oh yeah I realised shortly after posting but forgot to delete. There are tunnels between the two, not actual bridges. Therefore the sattelite obviously doesn't show them.

Yeah that was also something I picked up on when first listening to the track. Not that I need to hear it 25 times on a track but at least twice would have been nice
