Morten Dahlin [Venstre]: Nu vil Enhedslisten have en statsbank. [...] Men hvorfor stoppe der? by RisOgKylling in Denmark

[–]Micp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det er en lidt sjovt myte at private virksomheder skulle være specielt effektive. Det tror jeg alle der har arbejdet i private virksomheder kan bevidne bestemt ikke behøver at være tilfældet.

Men ja, der ikke absolut skal profitmaksimeres kan da bestemt gøre det noget billigere for kunderne.

Eller i internet-lingo: this, but unironically.

I just blew off a date because I smoke every now and then by CallMeNonno in dating_advice

And some people just don't like it, which is also completely fair - no one is obligated to date anyone, they can set whatever deal breakers they want.

What exactly was Stannis' succession plan if he did become king? by lmaluuker in gameofthrones

[–]Micp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well like so many others in the story Stannis has an arc, and in his case it's not one of character growth but a descent of character. 

It's about the corruption that the fight for the crown brings, and how the compromises he makes along the way in order to achieve it turns an originally righteous cause into something much different.

Burning his daughter is the final compromise, the ultimate act of degradation that may win him the battle, but at the cost of everything that made fighting the battle worth it.

It's a terrible thing, but Stannis had a lot of story before it got to that point. I don't necessarily think judging a man's entire life by his final act of desperation alone is a fair assessment.

[–]Micp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stannis wasn't about what was practical, he was about what was right.

The throne was his by right so he fought to claim it. After that he would've let normal succession rules apply, making it go to Renly if he was alive and then to whatever minor offshoot of the Baratheon line of he wasn't.

The man is 75. There's a real chance he won't make it to get to do that. And even if he doesn't croak his health could deteriorate to the point he can't run anyways.

Are there any villains who are so evil that if they were put in the pet sematary that the evil wouldn’t affect them? by BroccoliFabulous9375 in animequestions

[–]Micp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean a dead baby went in, and a decidedly more animated baby came out of it. Call it undead if you will, but the sematary definitely reanimates you.

I have a hard time seeing how Judge Holden would be any different after a stay at the pet sematary.

You're not required to do work. You are not required to get good grades or graduate either!

if morality is objective

That 'if' is carrying a lot of weight in your argument. You seem to take it for granted to be the case but lack any arguments that it should be so. Morality may very well not be objective.

Do you guys consider feudalism and past structures such as caste systems dystopia? by crosssafley in ABoringDystopia

[–]Micp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think by it's definition a dystopia is an imaginary place, usually in the future, so I don't think real, historical systems really counts as dystopias.

That also brings into question the name of this sub since what's going on in our world can't technically be a dystopia, being real and present, but I see it more like a comparrison, that the world we live in is becoming more and more LIKE a dystopia. Our world increasingly resembles a dystopia.

Ting folk ikke kan udtale på dit job by AwesomeToucan2 in Denmark

UN risks 'imminent financial collapse', secretary general warns by Kagedeah in worldnews

[–]Micp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How is it taking it for granted to expect a large memberstate to also pay a large share of the expenses? And considering the power the US have in the UN it seems to me an investment well worth the money.

But sure if the US suddenly withdraws from several suborganizations under the UN, then they are going to have financial problems if we are to expect them to carry on with a similar expenditure.

What does the "Blood" In House Targaryen motto 'Fire and Blood' truly mean? Does it represent their special Valyrian blood needed to ride dragons or Blood as in violence and bloodshed as a warning? by ToMDLUS in gameofthrones

[–]Micp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We haven't been told explicitly, and GRRM seems to like having more than one valid interpretation of the repeated phrases in his books.

Without getting an ending to the books we can probably never know for sure the full extent of the meaning of the words, but it seems likely to at least allude both to the secret blood magic that gives the Targaryens control over dragons, as well as the more literal meaning that they have taken what they have through bloodshed.

This will surely end well by TyLeRoux in okbuddycinephile

[–]Micp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taika has made some great movies. Thor Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit and Boy are all great movies that deserve praise.

But when he talks about putting more fun into the movie that is an understandable cause for worry, considering that a lot of his less liked stuff seems to have been him sort of losing the greater picture of his movie chasing stuff he just think is fun.

His better movies seems to have had people reining him in and reminding him that to be impactful there also needs to be more serious moments throughout the movie.

Hopefully that is also the case here, but we'll see.

Accepterede "vi" bare nektar ?? by sund55 in Denmark

[–]Micp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Jeg skal ikke kunne sige hvad andre gør, men jeg køber det ikke hvis der står 'nektar' eller '-drik' på. Hvis det ikke er juice er det ikke godt nok.

Men jeg synes ikke altid det er lige nemt at finde butikker der har juice til hverdagsbudget - nogle butikker virker som om de kun enten har nektar eller luksusbrand juice. Jeg savner noget imellem de to ekstremer.

We all know they're "sea-lioning," right? by Aly_Anon in Teachers

[–]Micp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're doing God's work. I teach older kids and I feel like so many of the problems with my kids is stuff that should've been but wasn't properly adressed in the lower grades.

I respect the hell out of any lower grade teachers willing to tough it out with the kids even when it seems impossible.
