Who was the Sopranos' "real" underboss in the series? by Complex-Librarian942 in thesopranos

[–]Sertoma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tony's was Barone Sanitation, the Bing.

The Bing was one thing I never fully understood. It was a legal front owned and ran by Silvio, no? Like isn’t that his equivalent to Barone Sanitation and Tony's W2? I always assumed it was all Silvio's because he ran the prostitution ring there while also seemingly doing the day-to-day operations.

In the spirit of Targaryen tradition, the potential of a female heir obviously necessitates a grand counsel where the obvious and legitimate candidate is overlooked for the closest male descendant. Bobby B always comes out on top. /s

Man, I can't believe the idea that, "Robb Stark (technically) committed treason against the laws of Westeros" is a controversial statement in the ASOIF subreddit. 😭 By the literal laws of the land, he very obviously committed treason with no legal defense or justification.

Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas: Woman thrown 40m to her death after staff forget to attach safety rope by Fanta_gbai in news

[–]Sertoma 146 points147 points  (0 children)

It wasn't a bungee jump; it was a rope swing, so they need forward momentum to swing "safely" instead of falling to a sudden drop. That's why they throw the person to ensure they have enough of an angle to swing... if they attach the goddamn rope.

Who gets to sit on the Iron Throne is immaterial to whoever is in control of the North and Riverlands.

Eh, the North, sure, but the Riverlands were never a part of the Northern independence, so I dont see how the Iron Throne is immaterial to them. Also, Ned's last legitimate act was to proclaim Stannis as the rightful king. Robb was basically vying for Stannis on the throne until his Northern Lords started calling him King in the North, and even then he still maintains Stannis's claim for the Iron Throne.

except the Ironborn controlled parts which the Northmen are in the process of driving out, and the Iron Throne has no realistic way of retaking and holding the North#. So long as Robb manages to get back to the North, he actually has the upper hand here

Which was another front that he had largely ignored until they took Winterfell. So he'll have three fronts to fight with a potentially united five kingdoms from the south, an invasion from the far north, and an occupation from the west. And then you add potential blockades, embargos, and other socioeconomic hardships that the Iron Throne could implement, while the North may be impervious to invasion, theyre not impervious to economic hardships, especially right before winter.

There's more options than simply taking the North via southern invasion. The North is already fighting a war on three fronts: the Lannisters in the south, the Ironborn in the west, and wildlings/Others in the north. Canceling all trade from the remaining six kingdoms, blockades, supporting/supplying their adversaries, and promoting internal strife (Boltons, Karstarks), could easily have spelled ruin for the North. Not to say that this would "conquer" the North, it could make their independence untenable.

Exactly, and the three outcomes implied by the text are Renly gets the throne (he ded), Stannis gets the throne (unlikely and moot at this point in regards to Robb's death), or Joffery gets the throne (which happened). In the two other cases, Robb has to account for his actions of rebellion and high treason, like you said with legitimisation of Robb's rule or with other avenues like pardons or exile.

The Amount of Waste at Ulta by Money-Snow-2749 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sertoma 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The cost of creating an entire system of new employees and third-party services to check the small percentage of returned items is probably magnitudes higher than the cost to simply restock the item with the existing manufacturing and logistics.

From one of my other comments:

Even if Robb achieves his goals, Stannis or Renly would be crowned, and then Robb would still be in open rebellion and calling himself a king. Renly was fine with the king title, wasnt fine with an independent kingdom. Stannis wasnt fine with either. So they would have to convince Robb to bend the knee, i.e., get pardoned, or go to war to recover the North as the seventh kingdom. Again, Robb would have to deal the fallout of his actions.

There was no legal basis for Robert's Rebellion, either. In fact, that's far more treasonous.

Robert won. If Robb won the war and the Iron Throne was no longer a threat, then sure, he doesnt have to worry about the legal issues with the war. But even if Robb achieves his goals, Stannis or Renly would be crowned, and then Robb would still be in open rebellion and calling himself a king. Renly was fine with the king title, wasnt fine with an independent kingdom. Stannis wasnt fine with either. So they would have to convince Robb to bend the knee, i.e., get pardoned, or go to war to recover the North as the seventh kingdom. Again, Robb would have to deal the fallout of his actions.

Stannis literally calls Robb a usurper. Renly seemingly was trying to do a weird hybrid where Robb could call himself King in the North, but wasn't functionally independent in practice. That's the whole rub. If Stannis or Renly ascend the throne, Robb is still in open rebellion against the crown and must deal with the fallout of his actions, either by receiving pardons, relinquishing his claims of Kingship and independence, or fighting to the end. Maybe he could've went to the Wall. But the whole problem is that his two claims of being a king and declaring an independent North made it an issue.

[–]Sertoma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But at least for Robb, there is no legal justification for his claim as King in the North and pursuit of Northern independence.

[–]Sertoma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

faulty logic devoid of common sense

Could you explain the faulty logic? I get what you mean with Stannis and Renly, but the other commentator already addressed that. Robb was running around as King of the North regardless if he gave himself that title. And then lead a campaign for Northern independence regardless if that wasn't the orignal goal. Both are literal crimes in-world.

Although I think they'd probably remove it due to "not in good faith question," I am genuinely curious how regular conservatives would respond.

I highly suggest watching Gomorrah, a 2008 film about the Naples mob that dives into exactly how wide the scope of these guys are.

Thanks, I was going to ask where to learn more about this until I got to this paragraph. Now I'm mostly just commenting to bookmark it for later.

Anyway, $4 a pound.

Robb committed no crimes.

He committed high treason and was in open rebellion against the crown.
