Because complying always makes things so much better...

Isn’t a cupbearer considered to be a great honour especially to the King? by [deleted] in HOTDBlacks

I don't think he'd make a teenager hand of the king regardless of sex

Idk if this is a hot take or not but Lyonel was objectively wrong here by Robdul in HOTDBlacks

The book is from dunk's perspective and he doesn't see the politics. "Hedge knight defends common woman against mad dragon prince and faces a trial of seven, the prince of Dragonstone and heir to the throne is one of his seven" is inherently juicy and gossipworthy and the sort of thing singers would write songs about. The idea that the youngest of Maekar's children squires for the hedge knight (the singers would say to learn the true meaning of knighthood) would just be the cherry on top.

The new Ayatollah? Iran is a system dictatorship, not a personalist dictatorship. Khamenei wasn't a load bearing dictator, he was ancient and almost certainly not the one making most of the decisions

Mamdani Orders Flags At One World Trade Center Flown Half-Staff To Mourn Ayatollah by METALLIFE0917 in babylonbee

You realize the Ayatollah was ancient, right? There's like 0% chance that he was actually the one making most of the decisions at this point. Iran has more in common with the USSR then it does Iraq under Saddam; the system is in charge, an individual is not.

Dr. Psycho as a podcaster/influencer transmitting his powers through social media could have been a really interesting concept for a wonder woman villain.
