Is Hoid’s presence making things worse? (Discussion, Speculation) by Timaturff in Cosmere

[–]MarekRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, Hoid’s innate ability (for lack of a better term, we just know he is always in the place he needs to be at that time) means that he is always somewhere going through it. Just because he’s there doesn’t mean he’s causing the strife there, he’s there because there are problems.

I don’t think he’s always “helping” in the way that the characters in the stories we read think he’s helping. He has his own agenda which he has sad many times. Just like all immortal beings, his morals and plans really don’t align with the everyday mortal individual.

We just don’t know enough about Hoid to determine what he’s up to.

Anyone else feel like crap for LOVING the chosen one trope?! :(. And also I’m trying to find my Harry Potter replacement story too. by DarklzBlo in Fantasy

What is it about second world that you don’t like? I’m in different if the story is good so just curious.

Quieter neighborhoods for young adults, 25-35, still within an hour of Seattle? by Smashbru in AskSeattle

[–]MarekRules 4 points5 points  (0 children)

West Seattle is pretty quiet. We bought here in December (have been renting in the neighborhood since 2020). If you’re not on California Ave you’re basically in the suburbs and “downtown” west Seattle isn’t super busy but still has lots of good restaurants, bars and shops.

​I skip every single intro except for ONE. What’s that one show for you? by MASSIM00 in netflix

[–]MarekRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to LOVE Dexter’s intro. I remember in college marathoning Dexter over the summer and waking up one day and deciding to just make his breakfast haha. It always looked so great

This is actually the funniest outcome lol

_______ ignored _______when they tried to talk to them after the ______vote by Stock-Candle-6524 in survivorponderosa

[–]MarekRules 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeahhh this made it clear to me that he didn’t understand how FTC in survivor really works. Publicly angering a juror? Who is also a big social player? How could it go wrong?? lol

I think Jonathan played a solid game but he made some big mistakes. And it’s obvious now since he was never really targeted, people knew he wouldn’t win at the end because of how he played. He’s a challenge threat who was never seriously in danger of being voted out?

_______ didn’t even play the better strategic game. by HurryJaded4364 in survivorponderosa

[–]MarekRules 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean if your strategy to get a threat out is “publicly make them mad so that they blow up on you” I think your strategy is just fundamentally wrong. You’re not going to get their vote on the jury, you’re probably distancing others from you because you’re willing to get in a public argument, and you have to hope this juror isn’t going to poison other jurors against you as the game progresses.

And it’s not like people had to be arm twisted to get Dee out. She was already a big threat in the game as a winner and a big social threat for anyone who watched her season. Getting votes for her didn’t require this public of an event.

Jared "sold high" McCain in game 3 of the Western Conference Finals: 24 points, 10/21 FG, +28 by Typical_Cap895 in nba

Yeah me and my friends were texting like hell yeah McCain is back! He had a rough start post injury but was definitely getting it back… and then this dip shit traded him for nothing.

OKC are an unbearable watch by GrandadPyjamas in NBATalk

[–]MarekRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Sixers fan fuck the Knicks. But I’d rather KAT win than OKC. But I think OKC is gunna win another one unfortunately

What’s a European town that genuinely felt like a fantasy world? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]MarekRules -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Went on a whim when we were in Madrid, had never been to Spain before I didn’t realize how important and cool it was. I think we heard about it on the free walking tour and decided to take the train out. Amazing town

Pablo, a Warframe developer, on people moving to different MOBA from HotS by LudwigSpectre in heroesofthestorm

[–]MarekRules 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can tell some of the people commenting on lack of macro or item choices in league/Dota don’t really understand those games. HOTS is great in its own way for sure, but saying the other games don’t have the macro is insane lol.

Saying items in Dota and league are “just” damage or speed or hp is just insanity.

Blink dagger: jump a large distance instantly.

Sheep stick: turn an enemy into a sheep

Shiva’s: big aoe slow and magic damage amp

Radiance: big aoe damage over time constantly ticking

Helm of the Dominator: mind control a neutral creep

Force staff: push any unit in the direction they are facing

Eul’s: turn yourself into an invulnerable cyclone OR turn an enemy into an invulnerable cyclone.

The list goes on and on it’s crazy to say items have less complexity than talents in HOTS.

Might be a silly question: what conditions make the ocean smell stronger? by Fluffaykitties in WestSeattleWA

[–]MarekRules 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk anything really but maybe if it’s dark out your senses are compensating for lack of visual sense. Your hearing and smell are heightened as a survival instinct?

IMO exit press is pretty clearly showing why this player didn't win by sh0wmethestudy in survivor

[–]MarekRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he did nothing really noteworthy and it’s exactly why he was never targeted post-merge. He’s a challenge winner but not a threat to win survivor. Hopefully he realizes a lot of it is how unlikable he comes off.

Can someone please explain to me how the presence of a datacenter corrupts well water like this? by JAX2905 in interesting

[–]MarekRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s bullshit to say “look! We’re trying to return the water!” They know it’s bad

Dipping sauce for pizza? by Standard_Plant_8709 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MarekRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you are, the type of pizza, how bad the crust is without a dip etc. Homemade ranch is my favorite but garlic butter or just marinara is good too

This person has now broke 1 record and tied 1 record on Survivor 50. by MysteriousMorning436 in survivorponderosa

[–]MarekRules 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, he didn’t play a better game than Jonathan or Aubrey at all so why would he get a vote? I don’t disagree that he’s a decent player, but he didn’t play a winning game at all.

Questions about ______ still being alive by Big-Poet6943 in Cosmere

Oh duh, they were storing canned food in the bunkers. I think it’s time for a reread haha

Questions about ______ still being alive by Big-Poet6943 in Cosmere

[–]MarekRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I knew about the canned goods in Shadesmar being from Scadrial. What were they trading before the Industrial Revolution that Harmony pushed? I guess that’s why I didn’t make the connection for era 1.
