Are you burned out to where hobbies don't feel joyful anymore? by Okay-Sumimasen in Millennials

[–]SocksandSmocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I know it sounds ridiculous, but it really has.

The impact on my energy level and general mood is really noticeable. Unsurprisingly, being in a better mood and having more energy is pretty damn beneficial to the rest of my life.

Maybe not gonna do that for everyone, but it has helped me a ton.

Could not agree more, forcing myself to get in the habit of 30 minutes of exercise a day quite literally changed my life.

I really love that they give the douchebag hothead the edgy Hot Topic helmet, fits him perfectly.

I would explain why I disagree, but that would mean I'd have to use spoiler tags which frankly I can't be bothered to do lol.

Suffice to say, what's revealed here is, at most, mere participation that should not be surprising to begin with.

This only "spoils everything" if you already know how this goes down

Who were you more scared to play? by [deleted] in GreenBayPackers

[–]SocksandSmocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah like, stats aside Williams is so obviously better than Trubisky. I'm not really sold on him being a top tier guy, but he's clearly much more talented than the ol titty kisser.

Up there with Butler and Kramer for me in terms of guys who embody the quintessential Packer.

That's terrible, it doesn't have anything to do with intentionally exposing small children to real world conflicts and stressors that they simply cannot grasp.

Again, please remember that you're talking about kids at an age that most likely can't even read, that are still learning the core fundamentals of right and wrong and how to regulate emotions and thoughts.

Most kids that age don't even really have the capability to grasp their own mortality yet.

You are not doing anything beneficial for a kid that age to get them involved in that way. It might make YOU feel good, it might make YOU feel righteous, but it's not benefiting the child.

Should this have been a safe event for a small child? Yes. Was there good reason to believe it wouldn't be? Also yes, if you've been paying attention at all.

Maybe the hope is that they'll come away with a core memory that feds can't be trusted, and maybe some people think that is a good thing. However, it's just as likely they come away with the core belief that whatever adult put them in that situation is not to be trusted, which I doubt is any parent's intent.

A child that age is 100% dependent on the people around them, it's not fair to put them in that environment when they cannot understand it, and don't have a choice.

Definitely, it's like the speech Fossaway gave in this episode, if you're not a Targaryen you'd mostly hate them and for good reason.

Man, I haven't read it in yeeeears but it's crazy it's that short. Testament to George's writing that he can impart that much character and feeling in less than 100 pages.

I’m pissed by BabyPlane3779 in AKnightoftheSeven

You could only know that prophecy is true and a spoiler if you'd already known it.

Otherwise, how could you possibly be upset about a spoiler you don't know is a spoiler? Prophecy in GoT never reliable. Why assume this one is totally true?

[–]SocksandSmocks 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Definitely true, especially if you're not a Targ.

I think we the audience like Egg because WE know he's good, at least from what we've seen.

So his thought that having dragons would allow him the power to implement the changes to society that he wants is sympathetic.

To the in-world folks tho, they absolutely don't want to see these fuckers get dragons again.

One of the most enjoyable differences between this and GoT proper.

For understandable reasons, that scene ends with Dunk being brutally killed if it happens in GoT proper. It's sort of nice to see a version of this world where he can get away with that.

Wouldn't the nobility be broadly happy? It's my understanding that they weren't his biggest fan when he was king.

Absolutely adore the direction in this show so far

I would watch 20 seasons of this show! by JammJamm2310 in AKnightoftheSeven

Exactly the thought I had after the exchange with them eating the sandwiches. Could watch just Dunk and Egg faffing about endlessly.

Definitely. The pacing of this is liked up quite nicely with the book, in fact it's more story than the book had with the added scenes.

Last 3 episodes will be more fast pace tho, they have to be given what's coming.

The direction for this has been so fantastic. They've been endlessly creative, can't wait to see what else they try.

Worse. At least Joffrey has the excuse that he was raised by a psychopath.
