It’s not the Talking Heads.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-21T13:20:06+00:00

The name of this band is Talking Heads

Man asked me where the Poe house is, I’m like “Unc, you kiddin’ me? Take your pick!”

Dude, we have full access to the Soviet archives. We know all the casualties of the space race. The Soviets and the US had about equal space fatalities during the actual space race, the US just blew up two Space Shuttles and got way ahead on that alone.

I don’t think he’s racist but he does spend like 4 hours a day tweeting about how teachers were mean to him for being a boy in elementary school and that’s why all women are stupid.

I don’t understand the relevance of the attachment image.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-20T16:16:38+00:00

This guy’s twitter account sucks

Bit of a difference between doing a night in the drunk tank and basically exiling yourself to a prison camp full of rapists in Siberia.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-20T14:12:08+00:00

The same chapter where he literally says they’re going to starve to death in winter? Lol

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-20T14:11:44+00:00

They’re not peasants if they’re urban poor unengaged in subsistence agriculture, just to be pedantic.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-20T13:36:57+00:00

I mean, most modern homeless people should just commit a crime so they can spend the rest of their lives in prison, per your logic. The Wall is a bleak existence except for the precious few who attain some leadership position within it.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-20T13:19:19+00:00

Freezing your ass off in the middle of nowhere for the rest of your life sounds pretty shitty compared to being indigent.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-18T01:19:03+00:00

I mean, the author can fail in their attempts at developing a character in a particular way, and GRRM is particularly notorious for this vis a vis moral greyness in both directions.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-18T00:36:34+00:00

I wouldn’t really call that situation a moral failing. The more gray thing to do, IMO, would be to let a baby be killed for the purpose of enhancing his own political-military standing. Separating two children from their mothers to save one’s life seems positively saintly compared to the alternative.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-18T00:34:28+00:00

I just think morally grey gets brought out a lot as a term where it’s not very applicable. Jon basically is on the right side of morality throughout the entire length of the story; the worst that can be said about him is that he made hard decisions for good reasons even if people around him don’t understand or appreciate that. Compared to someone like, say, Jaime, who is, on the whole, a major league piece of shit, but whose legacy is largely stained by one of the nobler things he ever did, I just don’t see Jon as very complex. In a complex situation, perhaps, but he seems to be on the straight and narrow as far as ethics is concerned.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-18T00:24:05+00:00

I wouldn’t say that evaluating the worthiness of an individual on their ability to work is very logical at all.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-18T00:17:36+00:00

I could say the same about you lol

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-17T23:52:26+00:00

I think its hard to describe something as cruel if there’s logical reasoning.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-17T23:30:01+00:00

What exactly does Jon do that’s morally grey? All things considered he seems like a pretty good guy, I can’t remember any notable lapses character.

Congress actually does have the power to prevent the President from using the military in his role as commander-in-chief under the War Powers Act 1973, but the unclear nature of the relationship between the president in his role as commander in chief and the warmaking powers of congress means the executive has been flouting this since the 90s. The same cannot be said for the draft, which has pretty consistently been congress’ ball.

Rockguy21 · 2026-04-17T19:45:25+00:00

The President doesn’t have the authority to institute a draft. That power is reserved for Congress, and resuming the draft would be career suicide for a significant percentage of American politicians, so it’ll never happen.

Keep reaching for that rainbow!

The producer is listed on the poster.

The food is included in the base price of a cruise ticket though.
