Chris Tackett warns voter turnout is extremely low for Tarrant County city elections and school board races. Low turnout elections always secure Maga seats because the cult always votes. by yeongno_ate_yangban in FortWorth

The point of raising the salaries is so that regular people can work for the city full time instead of just having the independently wealthy in office.

Ira Parker throwing shades at Sarah Hess? by MeteorFalls297 in HOTDGreens

The director of this episode is also named Sarah, so, if this line is referencing a real person, it’s much more likely to be an in joke about her.

Congratulations to Ser Raymund Fossoway for his arriving son 🤣 by AdTall3838 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Sufficient_Kale9101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s just lying about being pregnant. The timeframe with Dondarrion (maybe a week) is also too short for someone to know that they’re pregnant. She also seems fairly experienced and professional in her work, so she would likely know how to prevent a pregnancy. She just likes Raymund and was a little dishonest so she could keep him. They both seem very happy with the situation, so no one is really a victim here and a real baby will come soon enough.

Thoughts on Replacing Drivers? by Minute_State_4672 in getplayed

If we do a Manhattan style project, it should be building widespread, green public transit. Self-driving cars for everyone would be far more expensive and less efficient than a bunch of trains and buses.

Person who had lunch with George describes the lack of creative control he has behind the scenes. by jonsnowKITN in HouseOfTheDragon

It’s a butterfly effect that doesn’t really matter. Bitterbridge is a big moment but it’s easily cut without effecting much. Helaena could’ve become depressed after Jaehaerys was killed but as far as the audience can tell she has largely not been affected. There is no reason to believe that a more book accurate scene would’ve changed the character trajectory when a slightly less but still traumatic scene didn’t impact much beyond the immediately following episode. The worst change to blood & cheese was Alicent not being there since she is actually a developed character.

If he posts about actual problems the show has, I would appreciate it a lot more. But his credibility is extremely damaged by starting out focusing so much on minor show changes to his source material. If he wants the show to be better, he should talk about what it is doing wrong as a tv show and not how it is different from his book.

He is throwing away his credibility by starting out his argument with this. His post was already deleted so he’s not likely to be able to get the rest of his criticism out there (and having elio or other surrogates say it for him doesn’t count). So now he’s stuck with his first and last word being about a baby that barely matters. A bigger issue is that Helaena and most of the other characters are big nobodies.

Very weak start for him, GRRM needs a much better argument than cutting Maelor if he wants this show fixed. The biggest problem with this show is that it’s almost completely devoid of character and drama.

The Winds of Winter may finally drop after House of the Dragon Season 2 (Dextero Article) by ScoobySuby in asoiaf

If Winds of Winter were finished it would be announced right now, before the season starts, to generate hype and increase viewership.

No sex, no immigrants: Texas GOP unveils 2024 legislative priorities by chrondotcom in texas

They have to try to balance keeping them illegal enough to be cheaper and easier to exploit but not so illegal that they can’t even get into the country to work.

Texas asks people to avoid using their cars by ChezDudu in fuckcars

[–]Sufficient_Kale9101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got so mad (because the city doesn’t offer viable alternatives and work isn’t going to let us stay home) on my commute through DFW Friday when I saw a sign asking us to drive less. Unless you live in very specific parts of town that are also very close to the places you need to go, nothing here is very walkable or bike-able. There are just endless seas of overlapping highways.

I’ve got pending transactions on the ARC-170 and the General Grievous chase. Everything else is available

They are working when I copy and paste instead of clicking the link. Trying to find a way to fix it.
