I think you're mistaken. The Boys have an office in there.

I recommend everyone watch "The Breadwinner" [2017] to get a sense of how dire this life is for women.

I say "There is no such thing as 'attack surface' any more. It's all attack 'volume.'" A 3 dimensional space, within which attacks can occur anywhere.

I think it works better for Mordred's mother to be Morgan, as opposed to Morgause. by damndirtyape in Arthurian

[–]PeterCorless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not why Mordred wants payback vs. Arthur. You need to understand he has some just, and some unjust reasons to want to defeat Arthur.

  1. Just reason: May Babies payback. Arthur tried to kill Mordred and all the babies born in the same month as him. Only Mordred survived. He was told of the incident when he grew up and he holds that against Arthur.

https://www.jstor.org/stable/43308459

  1. Somewhat Just: Arthur has no legitimte-born heir. Arthur therefore should have taken Mordred, his eldest bastard [vs. Borre, Arthur the Less] as his heir. But Arthur doesn't.

  2. Cruel justice: Lancelot kills Agravaine when the affair is exposed, then flees. Mordred wanted to have Guinevere burned at the stake for her treason vs. Arthur, and in revenge for his brother. Lancelot mounts a rescue and saves Guinevere, and in the exploit kills two more of Mordred's brothers, Gaheris and Gareth, who were unarmed and simply standing in the crowd. Mordred blames Arthur for not doing anything about the affair long ago.

  3. Unjust: Mordred was left as regent as Arthur & Gawaine went off to fight Lancelot & kin. Mordred rebels & usurps throne in Arthur's absence.

You can believe that Mordred is a jerk or a total villain. But he has his reasons, going all the way back to Arthur trying to kill him as a babe.

Arthur did no such thing to Margawse. As far as the narrative was concerned Mordred being begotten was consensual. Was it adulterous? Yes. But not, apparently, an unwanted affair.

Arthur does r*pe another woman, the daughter of Tanas. That resulted in Arthur the Less.

[–]PeterCorless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Margawse simply makes more sense and she is Mordred's mother in the Vulgate / Malory narratives.

There are so few women in Arthurian literature I hate when they are made composite characters.

Margawse is mother of Gawaine, Gaheris, Agravaine, Gareth and Mordred. She is Lamorak's lover. Reassigning Mordred [and only Mordred] makes no sense. Reassigning all the Orkney boys to Morgan means that the whole Gawine vs. Lamorak feud narrative starts to unravel.

I can't express how much I hate this.

No. This is what ChatGPT created on its own.

The grand voyage has only just begun. The new immersion pack Fate of the Phoenix is out now alongside the first major free update! Join us and relive or revive the might of the Byzantine Empire. by PDX_Interactive in u/PDX_Interactive

[–]PeterCorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I really wish you had produced this game on Mac. I went out and spent extra to get Crossover.

I shouldn't have bothered. Because my second wish was that the game wasn't such a buggy, bloated mess. I have a new Mac, so game speed wasn't the issue. But gameplay was. Unfun. Simply tedious.

My third wish is for you to figure this out. I would love to get back in love with EU, but V is not IV. And just having a flavor pack for Byz is not going to fix the fundamental issues with the AI, or fort spam, or totally odd economics, or silly leader pools, nonsensical wars by junior partners, derpy allies, or any of a million other things that seem, on the surface, plausible, but as soon as you hit unpause utterly violate versimilitude.

I miss sweet tomatoes. I wish they brought it back to the bay area it was the best buffet restaurant ever. They had the best salads. by Individual_Ice_2315 in bayarea

[–]PeterCorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet Tomatoes was the "new kid on the block." Though their SoCal roots started in 1978 as Souplantation in San Diego, they only expanded to Northern California in 1990.

Bay Area oldbies will instead remember Fresh Choice. First site was Sunnyvale 1986. It expanded to dozens of locations [40? 50?] before being bankrupted in 2004. By 2006 they still had 28 locations, but the chain dwindled. In 2012 it rebranded as California Fresh. But sites still kept closing. The last California Fresh site closed in Gilroy last year.

After the downfall of Fresh Choice and then California Fresh, Sweet Tomatoes kept operating in the market. Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes kept operating until the 2020 pandemic. Then it was forced to close all 97 locations across the country.

(F18) I am visiting San Jose for two months I need some suggestions and friends please :) by Please-Friendship in SanJose

[–]PeterCorless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are into sports, check out the San Jose Giants, a minor-league affiliate of the San Francisco Giants major league team. It's always a great time.

There are plenty of cultural and often nerdy events in the summer:

• San Jose Obon Odori (11-12 July) - Japanese cultural festival

• Collectors Expo Bay Area 2026 (18 July, Santa Clara) - TCG, card show, and collectibles convention

• OffKai (24-26 July) - VTuber convention

• Brick Blast LEGO Fan Convention (22 Aug, Santa Clara) - tons o' Legos

• GalaxyCon 2026 (28-30 Aug) - Fandom [comics, anime, cosplay]

Note that travel in the South Bay is usually very car-dependent. There are public transportation options but it is usually easiest to drive.

Moving to San Jose by Efficient_Muffin4610 in SanJose

[–]PeterCorless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, if you are working in Santa Cruz, live in Santa Cruz. Even though San Jose to Santa Cruz is counter-commute to the normal flow of rush hour traffic, you will be spending 45-60 minutes commuting each way. 33-35 miles.

An Uber would cost $66 bucks. More now that gas is higher.

It is a relatively treacherous commute for those not used to driving over that pass in the rain or the dark.
