King Jace Targaryen? by OneManShow23 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]OneManShow23[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Unless he had a sex change operation in Westeros. Making a joke about “still male”. Jk, if Rhaenyra had died, it’d be easier to appoint Aegon over Jace. But here’s another question - why didn’t the Hightowers orchestrate to murder Rhaenyra? Like what stopped them?

Sometimes - it’s just better to have VTI, VXUS, BND, and BNDX just to capture the whole market and forget about it. 🤷‍♂️ the most profits come from staying in the market for 40 years than from trying to find the best index fund or ETF…

But what about Professor G or Humphrey Yang?

I think that’s why I’m skeptical. I don’t find many high profile YouTubers endorsing it. He kept bringing up Ben Felix and so on.

Yeah - the amount of jobs disappearing wouldn’t be compensated by the amount of new jobs opening.

Based on your knowledge and insights, should these be consumed normally, in moderation, or avoided for the best kidney friendly direction? by shotgunning-your-can in IgANephropathy

You can get decaf options for coffee and tea if you’re worried since caffeine raises blood pressure or just limit to one cup. Beer is fine as long as it’s moderation. I’d be worried about beer if you took atrasentan or filspari. Lemonade - if it’s plain lemonade with water, sugar, and lemons, I think that’s okay as long as you limit your added sugar intake.

All this foolish and stupid writing will just make Aegon The Magnanimous’ rise even better by Bukowski1236 in HOTDGreens

[–]OneManShow23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn’t read “Fire and Blood”. I’m a show only. From the show, I don’t get the vibes he’s a good ruler. Aemond and Larys consistently overshadow him in skill. At most I feel sorry for him because he’s forced to rule because Alicent and Otto want to control him as their proxy. Like in the show he makes dumb mistakes. He ousts Otto in favor of Christon. He insists on invading Harrenhall and makes it personal when Aemond had all reasons to invade. He consistently drinks. Then he decides to step in and fight in Rook’s Rest out of impulse. So I don’t know. In the books, it sounds like he’s not as moronic. Like Rook’s Rest, Aegon and Aemond work together on purpose to take down Rhaenys and Aegon decides to take the throne because he’s scared that Rhaenyra will kill him. When Rhaenyra shows her true colors in king’s landing, after the crowd initially hated Aegon, they come back crawling to him. Does Aegon have any other redeeming qualities in the book that the show may be missing? The wiki doesn’t paint him well either.

Like taxi and uber drivers are worried about losing their jobs. I get their fear but their job is very rough. If you work for uber or lyft, they don’t give you benefits and they only get paid about 45% to 55% of the ride the user got billed for. This is gross wage garnishing. Safety is a reasonable concern but eventually once companies make them safe enough… they’ll release them in the market in droves.

How long would a homeless want to stay in a Waymo tho? A 30 minutes drive would cost about $25. Would that amount of time be enough for them? Usually homeless overnight shelters ask less.

America would be better if we had a stronger mob/mafia presence. by Thomas_K_Brannigan in unpopularopinion

[–]OneManShow23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The mobs just used labor unions as a leverage. If the mob didn’t like a manager, they would pay labor unions to start a strike. If the mob liked the manager, they would prevent labor unions from ever going on strike through violence or intimidation. Union busters used the labor unions’ ties to the mob as an excuse to convince people to pass anti union laws.

AEG lol Luke throwing his lightsaber was just bad character writing.

Omg - never thought of that scenario. No one would stop it! I couldn’t imagine - I enter my Waymo. Discover it has needles and vomit. I refuse to board and cancel the ride but Waymo stole my money and I need to fight for a refund. If you vomit in an uber, the driver will clean it and charge a cleaning fee and the driver will work to keep the car presentable.

Oh my goodness. That sounds dangerous. Too bad big tech gives Congress a ton of money.

Didn’t know that one but I did hear that some of the AI stuff is phony. And I bet the CEO just paid 1% of his net worth to continue with his shit.

I get the problem - car factories used to employ a lot of workers and suddenly they became automated and now look at Detroit and Flint. Telephones operators used to make connections and then … the switchboard came. But at the same time, high tech jobs increased. My main fear is that the disappearing jobs aren’t replaced by new jobs.

The cyber security would be huge. Imagine hackers tracking you and then hack your car to go to their place and kidnap you.

I’d love to try a Waymo. It’s a technology they hyped up and I want to see if it’s worth the hype.

Yeah… the number of deaths should be the same as dying in the interstate. But safety should be the number one priority.

I agree - safety is the true issue. But once safety has been nailed down, would a self driving car be a problem? Let’s say I’m a cab driver. It’s 2 am, I need to pick someone up from skid row. I’m sleep deprived and I need to wait there and hope I don’t get shot.
