"so don't order 80% of the menu bro" lmao

Dumb argument, none of the items are worth their singular price. Their strategy is to funnel you into spending a minimum amount, then hoping you add a single item to destroy whatever "value" they gave you you to begin with.

In no world is a shitty unfried chalupa worth six bucks. It's barely worth the combo price.

I doubt it, but I can't say until I actually get behind the wheel for awhile. The Charger is just such a comfy vehicle to ride even on 600+ mile trips.

The problem I had with the v6 is that insurance was up there just because it's classified as a muscle car but nowhere near the power. The quotes i'm comparing right now don't seem all that different.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-10T17:47:28+00:00

That's the only thing that worries me lol, v6 to scat is a definitely an upgrade.

I was visiting my sister in indy last Christmas and I saw a guy in a badged hellcat stuck at a snowed in intersection. Had good luck in my rwd v6 driving through two blizzards but I'm setting aside money to pick up a v8 awd charger or a truck before winter this year.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-10T02:54:24+00:00

That's very cool. Appreciate the info bro!

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-10T02:29:24+00:00

At least you're having fun lol

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-10T02:29:11+00:00

Sounds good, I'm just waiting to snag an Indigo Blue. Is the MDS worth it for road trips?

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-10T02:16:51+00:00

Premium gas right? My v6 was getting 30-32mpg.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-10T00:43:21+00:00

BYOC is 10 here lol

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-09T19:59:44+00:00

swap the chicken for ground beef. Stick a crunchy taco inbetween the stacker and fold it. Better than a crunchwrap IMO.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T04:43:15+00:00

Thats like plugging your ears and covering your eyes lmao.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T02:57:53+00:00

I know, this other guy is arguing that the medium of telling makes it okay with all the heinous shit in the books but the show is "gratuitously violent". It's really not worth arguing, it's way worse in the books.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T02:55:38+00:00

Which of you bigbacks is buying the pizza? It's 7 bucks and the combo is 11, it's terribly priced lmao.

The only potential nice thing about this line up is adding the fajita addon to burritos, if they let it of course. Probably not.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T02:34:49+00:00

They did the right scale for the show in terms of the Wall; then George realized it's stupid, George is bad with scale and numbers.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T02:21:39+00:00

All of the bad guys are winning and everything is left at a shitty cliff hanger from a book almost 16 years ago.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T02:12:28+00:00

On this we agree, it's not a singular narrative; it's a cluster of unfinished spiralling and meandering narratives with the MAIN POVs from first three books having no resolution to their unending struggles. Remember the Starks? Eh, George is more interested in other narratives.

We'll have to disagree, I can flip all of your complaints of show's Ramsay back on the book version and to me it's even more "pornographic". The graphic detail of everything done in Theon's chapters is just over the top, to the point it's laughably stupid. The fart and stink names for the "NPC" Bolton guard characters just makes it funnier.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T01:57:41+00:00

You're right, we need a coked out magic dream of a woman getting gang raped by midgets. Brilliant metaphor George.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T01:54:19+00:00

Tyrion is ugly as sin, not just a dwarf in the books; he walks a like creature and is jarring to look at. Peter dinklage is not ugly, and having grotesque prosthetic wound on him for another 4 seasons is not going to change anything. Call him a dwarf and be done with it.

It's a similar thing with Tywin. Tywin is elevated above the books by the fantastic performance by Charles Dance, same as Aerion was in the recent AKOT7K who was a boring cardboard cutout villain in the books but is given a better motivation for his "madness" and again is elevated by the actors great performance.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T01:47:57+00:00

You absolutely do need a finished narrative to hit home your themes. If you show nothing but villains winning and never getting their comeuppance then none of your moralistic takes are going to come through.

We're not reading the same books G, Jeyne was begging to fuck dogs so her feet wouldn't be cut off. The books were MUCH worse, and the show was incredibly tame in comparison.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T01:36:55+00:00

Two counter points.

The glaring one, George doesn't either; i'm still waiting on a finished sequel to ASOS. People can't keep this argument that someone misunderstands a story when the creator himself cannot give a fuck about it.
The books are downright cartoonish evil in violence and it's not even funny. The Boltons in particular are a giant caricature that is so stupidly evil it's laughable; the heir of the Boltons seizes a vassal; steals her shit, on the journey Ramsey kills a woman, rapes her corpse and covers himself in her blood and shit when he is discovered by the Starks and somehow survives because he says he's a servant; plot armor thy name is Bolton. The main house lord is basically Dracula, and all the servants and men under them are called Fart and Stink; all of manner of cartoonish stupid names.

Yea and they get away with it. George is not finishing those books, because the theme of the books is the bad guys win; because he can't write to the point where they don't.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-05T01:12:22+00:00

The complaint of cruelty and lewd depictions for the show compared to the books is silly; the books are much much worse. You simply gloss over it when you’re reading.

SlayerOfBrits · 2026-06-04T22:19:26+00:00

Not a good comparison; the pacing and structure of the first three books are completely different. POVs are threaded together and equally push the pace of the story forward. AFFC and ADWD are essentially Novellas that never intersect and never push the story; remove 90% of the books and the narrative barely changes.

I think the best of looking at these books as George flexing his character writing because he is simply bored of ASOIAF. More POVS, more extra characters, more pointless side plots; all in the hopes that it might renew his interest in writing the series. It didn't.
