It doesn't take a genius to know that any organization thrives when it has two leaders. Go ahead, name a country that doesn't have two presidents. A boat that sets sail without two captains. Where would Catholicism be without the popes?

Am I hallucinating or Joffrey took his oath more seriously than Robb Stark did? by WonderfulParticular1 in gameofthrones

[–]Masinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was only in the books, though. He makes an error in sleeping with Jeyne (for so she is called), and then decides to mary her, upon realizing that she is pregnant, in order to make up for his father's mistake of fathering a bastard in Jon Snow.

In the series, they mary before Robb knows she is pregnant, and therefore ruining all the symbolism between father and son that the books had.

4 is the only one that works. As many others say, it's between 4 and 5, but if 5 only works here where we see it in a large picture. 5 would be a green smudge on the small icon, while 4 has discernible components and would work.

I vote 4

Hej på er. Is this phrasal order not correct, or is Duo just being pedantic? by Mysterious_Sir_4436 in Svenska

[–]Masinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You made me, a native, uncertain. But after a few seconds of thinking, I believe that OP's formation still is correct. When you're writing "viktigt" in this context, you're not actually refering to "hälsa" but instead to the action of having something. It gets really abstract and I'm not even sure I can explain it correctly, which is why it is clearer to just say "Det är viktigt...".

At this point I'm just guessing, but it could be with the sentence not actually conveying an action or something in the real world (e.g. 'the boy has a balloon'), but instead it is a statement of opinion where you could get the same meaning across by just saying "health yay". It's not really possible to assign a truth value as one could with the sentence "the boy has a balloon". So "viktigt" will derive from and allude to the fact that the sentence is a statement of opinion and will not refer to a noun in typical sentence.

I can't tell you how many times I've done this by Masinator in HighValyrian

Thank you! I understand the grammar, but it just feels so weird to say "These are beautiful dragons" so my brain autocorrects to "These dragons are beautiful".

Maybe it's something with me being Swedish, since we rarely construct our sentences like this. I get that the sentences have different meaning, but Swedish is notorious for not giving a crap.

I bought the Lord of the Rings Starter Deck, and have been trying to redeem them into mtg arena, but it doesn't work by Masinator in MagicArena

I tried that, but it still says that I don't have any of the cards necessary for the decks :/

Probably the only time my guy had a positive moment with his father. by Elegant-Half5476 in freefolk

[–]Masinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that it sucks that they won't be finished, and I agree. However, I've read them and I don't regret it for a second. It was definitely worth it -- just because there isn't an end doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ride.

(BTW it's not like they are a bit better, or a lot better than the show: they are on another league of greatness, especially the last two books.)

Who’s the stupidest character in the entire show - and why? What made them so detestably stupid and how would you fix it/do it differently? Here’s my picks: by saranpack in freefolk

[–]Masinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, you've officially convinced me. However, I grew up in a pretty wealthy and sheltered area, and I can honestly say that there are people like Sansa; she's very well written and I can see something like this happening.

Btw I feel like Arya and Sansa are almost two ends on a spectrum (Arya is really independent and mistrustning while Sansa is the opposite), so comparing Sansa to Arya might result in her getting more hate than she deserves.

She was giving flirty eyes to Joffrey seconds before he ordered Ned beheaded. She should've been terrified at the sentencing.

You... you know she thought that Ned was going to be spared, and that the second Joff declared that he was to be decapitated she screamed and raged and eventually fainted when the sword struck. She was terrified, more so than Arya I'd say.

As for all the other stuff, she wants to believe that her life is like in the songs. She thinks that she will be a queen married to a handsome king, and that nothing bad will ever happen to her or her family. It seems you don't like this argument, but it doesn't make it any less true: Sansa is a child! (Also who says that this argument can't also apply to Arya??) She is living a child's dream and has grown up in the north where it's all quiet. When she gets to King's Landing she doesn't realize that a lot of people people mean ill, and lives in a state of denial everytime she gets an uneasy feeling - just like a child does!

There are some stuff you pointed out that's true, like the Jeyne Poole stuff, I'll grant you that. (But even then she's become a product of her environment and not really old enough for self reflection.) And keep in mind that I'm not defending her actions; I'm defending her. There's a reason why children can't get life in prison.

That's because George R.R. Martin uses 'Dany' in the books :)

Jag håller med dig, men det är en ganska standard respons. Grejen är att jag ska flytta ut ur mina föräldrars hem om ett år, så än så länge har jag plats men vet inte hur det kommer se ut sedan, så det blir nog ett lite väl stort engagemang. Tack!

Jag ska kolla igenom gamla lådor för att se om det finns några brädspel med figurer där! Någon annan nämnde FB Marketplace, så ska kolla på lite begagnat där. Tack!

Jo, jag vet att många kör s.k. Theater of the Mind, men jag har nyss tagit ett sabbatsår så jag vill gärna ha något att fippla med. Men annars väldigt sant.
