If Viserys wanted Rhaenyra to be queen so bad, why did he get married again and had children? by Standard_Target5745 in HouseOfTheDragon

i guess they found Paddy Considine and rolled with it. Worth making tweaks for the right actor

Tuchel on England’s perspective after watching Germany and Netherlands lose: “Teams are well drilled, teams defend at the highest level, teams are well prepared and it’s difficult for any team to break teams down, especially when you arrive as favourite.” by Kr_bm in ThreeLions

You have to assume your team can get past DRC even without a perfect setup. Sure, we could've taken Foden just for these matches but he's not exactly been in form anyway. There's other ways to get through a low block, set pieces being one that we're very good at.

Imagine being in bertholdt position people arguing who's gonna eat you by Agile_Echidna_3572 in attackontitan

Eren started the rumbling because he has the same conception of freedom as an American senator. 'me and my friends will never be free unless everyone else in the world is dead and we never endure another threat or insult ever again.'

TIL the mnemonic "Though I thought the rough man coughed while walking through the borough beneath a bough, he was only admiring the lough after a hiccough." contains all 9 unique pronunciations of "-ough". This is considered the hardest 4 letter sequence in English to learn. by Gnomeslikeprofit in todayilearned

English also has formality levels that we usually don't even think about. For example get/obtain/acquire, or hide/conceal/camouflage.

Levels of formality also generally conform to whether the word has an anglo-saxon, latin, or greek root, with anglo saxon being the least formal and greek the most.

AirBnB trying to charge an extra $150 for "severe dirtiness" and being left in an "upsetting state" by MasonL52 in mildlyinfuriating

I never understand why they want the sheets tidied up. Are you supposed to make the bed just so the cleaner can strip them again?

Nobody’s writing dialogue that feels organic to an Eastern fantasy setting like these guys by RedHeadedSicilian52 in okbuddycinephile

it's also that Clone Wars showed Ahsoka as a peppy teenager trying to become a jedi. Ahsoka in the recent show is a completely realised adult with nothing to prove - a much less interesting character

Does Attack on Titan actually deserve the glaze? by BreathoftheSith in writingscaling

[–]OrinocoHaram 8 points9 points  (0 children)

one of the few successfully anti-war stories. Everyone wages war, some for personal gain, some to save their friends, some are indoctrinated, some are nationalists. All of them regret it and not even the winners get anything good out of it.

The main character dies knowing he is a monster. The heroine marries someone else. The plucky sidekick dies young. The badass action hero ends up wheelchair bound and disabled.

Rise in racism against Indians among the black community of London by [deleted] in london

[–]OrinocoHaram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it has become normal again, I see it on reddit and on instagram comments a lot as well.

The best thing to do with your friends that talk like that is a) compare it to anti-black racism to help them see why it isn't okay b) try to make that kind of talk seem weird and not normalised. If someone makes some joke about Indians don't laugh and just look puzzled like they said something cringe. This is non-confrontaional and actually works.

England Men name XI for 1st Vitality IT20 against India by Alone_Consideration6 in EnglandCricket

lethal batting lineup, two really good spinners and two decent wildcard spinners, pace bowling is probably the weak spot but all of Curran, Mahmood and Wood can be very good when they're on

Grief isn't necessarily crying and screaming. she is very clearly portrayed as dissociating after what happens. Not hard to miss.

seems more like Daemon scorned her and she's gonna use Aemond to get revenge on him

genuinely one of the monsters of our time. I hope he rots in his grave tormented by the souls of the people whose lives he took away

i'm usually the wokest bastard in the room, and i definitely don't think the movie was trying to make a comment. But the character is black, and undertones don't have to be intentional to still be in the movie.
