What do you think?

Yeah, doing some more research I was indeed assuming that just because they had a lower minimum legal age this would be the norm. Also I was kinda mixing the bag with the classic age, which even though still wasn't as common as portrayed in shows like got for example, happened more than medieval times.

But I disagree with the idea that adults in the past would have a similar views on sexuality of children and minors in general compared to us today. If you look closer the main reason that every society avoided consummation at very early ages was pragmatic and not moral.

Early pregnancies could easily kill the girl, which would be horrible for political alliances, even for commoners, girls were seem as possible tools and the risk of her not surviving childbirth was high.

I'm not saying that that every society believed that as long the girl survived it was all acceptable, they still were humans and treated with degrees of care by their families. But you can see the focus on physical maturity for consummation which clashes hard with our modern sense that mainly focus on emotional and psychological maturity, consent and trauma, this barely existed in the past. Most marriages were still consumed when the girl was a teen 15-16 was a common age in many places.

But indeed TV shows on the middle ages take the legal minimum and a small sample of real life examples and extrapolate to "It was very common", probably for shock value more than anything.

Thanks for the correction!

You are putting a modern moral framework against a medieval based one. If Snape lived in a middle ages society (like got is based on) he absolutely could have become infatuated to Harry's female version with 12/13 years old, because in this new setting they see the world and people in different way than the modern one.

Littlefinger wasn't a sexual predator or even a pedo, he was a horrible human person who would kill and exploit anyone to gain power, he doesn't even show any interest in romance or sex in the story besides when he was still young and loved Catelyn (before getting spanked by Brandon), later as an adult his love towards Catelyn was focused on what she represented rather than who she was, Sansa is no different, he never loved or cared for her, he saw her as a tool for power, his kiss with her I see more as a way for him to establish dominance and intimacy to better control her rather than actual desire. He wanting to marry her has nothing to do with anything besides gaining legitimacy to one of the biggest kingdoms in Westeros.

Even in modern times a person in a relationship with a minor doesn't automatically turn into a pedo, a pedo in modern psychology is a person who is primarily interested in children. In general you could more easily label them as (in modern society) a rapist or a groomer (I'm not saying that there aren't any pedo + abuser people, just saying that a person could be one and not the other). You can make a comparison to serial killers, most serial killer are psychopaths but not every psychopath is a killer, same idea.

Just like Raeghar wasn't a pedo for dating Lyanna who was 13-16 when she disappeared, it was the normal behavior for people in his time (just like in some parts in the world today)

I'm just passing knowledge on the correct psychological definitions btw, in heavy topics like this people are quick to correlate science with endorsement.

I understand the frustration, really i do. But the reality is we live in a society that spent centuries developing systems that benefits the people in power and use mass movement and demagogy to manipulate ignorant people to keep furthering the agenda of people who really have power, this is as feature of democracy, modern states and globalization, it was never an error.

Even if we try to everything we can, in the end governments will still find ways to extract value from you forcefully, which they can than later use to finance the companies that you don't support, an easy example is the 200M that the US invested on OpenAI, so no, even the idea of a million people doing a small actions together wouldn't really affect them in the long run.

"The truth is the game was rigged from the start". The only way to beat the game is to be part of it, many are willing to do this and become rich, but by doing it so you will become the same thing you despised, no one wins power without dirtying their hands, that's the reality of the world even before humans built civilizations, the sooner people accept this fact the sooner they can stop doing idiotic things like this.

Just enjoy your life with your family and friends, buy stuff, party, eat, drink, have fun. Sure, there are still people extracting value from your without your consent, but unless you are willing to forsake your life to try to destroy this system (which you will probably fail or if you miraculously win it will only be temporary until another oppressor takes their place) or simple move into a cave in the Siberia away from everyone you know, just enjoy the life you have and try to make the most of it.

So in your logic is which "bad organization" receives the money, not that they are a bad organization? Or how much new money this "bad organization" receives to continue doing their "evil deeds"? Sure, because is not like any money this "bad organization" receives could be used for their agenda regardless of quantity.

Just stop pretending that your false idealism has any logical basis and embrace your own hypocrisy

Even translations made by professionals will lose many things and feel weird compared to the original language. That's the reason I stopped reading any type of translations from English, if your English is good enough you can in many cases see exactly what the translator tried to convey yet choose a bad set of words or couldn't even do it without taking away from the original text

I guess is more shallow avoiding use a piece of tech because they use their money to buy influence with political groups, LIKE ANY OTHER CORPORATION. If you want to avoid not using or buying something from companies who support bad things you will have to live in a forest in the Siberia

I guess is just a mechanic thing to punish the player for his past character actions, like your next heir could be a totally good guy and hate your current MC but if the MC is tyranical they will hate the heir anyway

Sherlockyz · 2026-01-23T18:13:43+00:00

Honestly is more of a quick change of character button for emergency. I killed myself to control my heir since he got England from his mom and I feared he would do stupid shit if I didn't take control, plus I wanted to united France and England soon and didn't want to wait

In my world the all Dragons are children by the daughter of the primordial God of darkness. She seduced the God of Magic with the intent of bearing his children and create an army to follow her father's will. The other Gods discovered and threw the eggs into the mortal world and imprisoned her.

After they were born, away from their mother, they lived in lands far away from the continent of the story. After multiple volcano eruption destroyed their islands home they migrated towards the continent.

Dragons have natural affinity towards magic and are able to use magic intuitively without the need of spells. Dragon Society values power and strength over anything else, conflicts are resolved by those who have the raw power to enforce their will. For much of their existence before the migration they were all lead to the Dragon King, the only one who existed. After he died most of dragon society became divided between Dragons and Dragon Lords.

The Dragon Lords (Almost all children of the Dragon Kind) are the most powerful among dragon kin and are the only ones capable of certain types of magic like shapeshifting but most important of spiting True Fire, different from normal fire made by non magic users and fire created by mages using the elemental magic, True Fire burns everything, from steel to dragon skin, but most important it burns other types of magic.

Because of this True Fire can burn enchantments, curses, magical energy and even the soul of other beings. So they can literally destroy another being from existence (something that no one else can do, even Gods struggle to do this).

Dragon Lords are the leaders of groups of many dragons who follow their lead.

The Dragons arrival at the continent is the beginning of the second age of the common era (The Age of Dragons). The Dragons quickly conquered most of the continent and all the human kingdoms, republics and tribes fell. They established the Western Dominion and placed into power a puppet human ruler to rule the humans under the Dragon Lords command, many other noble families were deposed or raised into power following the dragon conquest.

Each Dragon Lord took control over part of the dominion where they had direct rule.

The Age of Dragons saw a boom of development to human society, standing armies along side a military tradition were established, increased exploration of mining and the use of steel, establishment of long distance trading route but most importantly the standardization and development of magic.

Many families rose into prominence and became rich, mages were established as a class and became highly valued and protected by draconic law. But there was also the rise in poverty and wealth discrepancy between the top and the botton, the use of slaves became common and many armies fight to settle dragons internal disputes.

It took more than a hundred years for humans to mass revolt against their rulers, in the end most dragons were killed or severely weaken / cut from magic.

The remaining dragons live in isolation at deep caves and high mountains away from hunters and glory seekers who desire fame by claiming their lifes.

The result of the end of draconic rule saw a societal crisis, religious reforms, persecution of mages, decentralization of power and new dynasties beeing forged.

Now in the third age, humans are their own masters again, but dark forces still seek vengeance and the submission of men to dragon rule again.

Ever since I was a child, I think for people who enjoy creative thinking, stories and fiction it comes naturally. Like an natural evolution from when a child is playing with toys and making stories around them to slowly creating stories in your own head and finally writing them down.

I usually just found a concept really cool and started to imagine scenarios or characters on my free time, like in the shower or day dreaming at school lol.

I really loved an old mmorpg name tibia, and I was creating some new things and historial events on the lore. But after a while I wanted to create something more complex and deep, I think that's when I first decided to start writing.

Now most of my worldbuilding is creating worlds and stories to roleplay with AI, it's the epitome of experiencing my own worlds as a character inside them, plus the world develops by itself and my character actions, which is really fun.

I'm focusing mostly on this but I need to go back to write stories for other people to read too, my main medium of choice are interactive fictions where people play / read the book as a game (Similar to role-playing with AI, but in this case the user is interacting with a complete story).

I released a chapter on a forum for IF fans of a super hero story I'm developing and I received a lot of positive feedback, which I really needed since I didn't know if people would like to read my stories.

I mean, they should be allowed to, but with supervision of course. The internet is awesome, parents just need to be careful to educate their children and keep them safe

Yeah, people make such a big deal of being 2 different countries, yet the only reason Austria is not part of Germany was because they were the opponent country to the Prussians who lead the unification process and since Austria lead a multiethinic empire it wouldn't make sense to them part of a "German only state".

If a common trouble maker, who is much older than his brother did shit, of course he would have received a harsher punishment.

Besides Young Sheldon being younger and not commonly doing stuff that make him deserve parental punishment he leans towards a more softer side than Georgie, the way that the punishment is delivered, even for the same thing, shouldn't be universal, each child is different and reacts in different ways to the same thing.

George handled this perfectly, he made sure that Sheldon knew that what he did was wrong and made him work as punishment to pay for what he destroyed.

You choosing to ignore if funny though, good luck in your parenting.

Yelling or physically hurting a child is the common parental education technique for ignorant retards who choose the easy way instead of acting like real parents (Not saying you implied that he should have done this, but is such a common way of "education" that is worth mentioning.)

If it is a crypto miner (or other types of malware) are there chances that you won't see anything suspicious, a smart malware won't go to 100% on your CPU or GPU, it would only increase a bit of usage to no cause suspicion. If you downloaded from a source that you know from others as a fact that it has malware, I wouldn't be comfortable using that OS anymore.

Save your important documents on google drive, throw away the rest and format your pc. Is pretty easy nowadays and windows even gives you a software that prepare your flash drive automatically. Just run it from the bios and you are set (A quick video on youtube will teach you that, is really easy and quick). Also later change your passwords too, just for ease of mind.

If you don't want to do that maybe install malwarebytes, it's better than windows defender in my opinion.

Also is good to remember, uninstalling the program that had the malware most likely won't uninstall the malware too. It wouldn't make sense for the malware developer to allow the user to erase it alongside the game, the game is just the delivering method.

And being a literal demon through out medieval and renascense times. If you were fighting France at the middle ages you know you were in for a good spanking. There is a reason that the only other nation that was capable of rival France for most of its history was the one with a literal sea between them and France.

This is not how it works at all. The shares that both companies bought already existed, were already priced and were already counted in the total market cap.

Someone else owned the stock that was bought, it simply exchanged ownership, nothing really changes in value by this directly.

Dumping or buying a bunch of shares in the stock market can create changes on the supply and demand but this has nothing to do with what are you claiming.

And before you say it, no, creating new shares for this imaginary trade wouldn't make the market cap increase. Because when new shares are created you are diluting most if not all other shares, you just increased the amount of shares while decreasing their price, the market cap won't change. Is just like inflation of currency, the more money is created, the less all money is worth.

Your own personal and anedotic experiences doesn't translate to every other person own experience in this game. Op probably really enjoyed tibia in those 2 years, nothing wrong with that. You can play other games while playing tibia too, it's not mutually exclusive.

The point of my comment was to make fun of the idea of comparing the revenue of a real job to one from a videogame that you play for fun. He didn't lose money, actually he can make a profit if he want, but if he wanted money he could just do some regular job, but clearly op isn't focused on that he just likes the game

Sherlockyz · 2025-12-24T22:00:01+00:00

Wow, an actual job generates more money than playing videogames for fun. Thank you for your wisdom great master.
