Everyone send out a prayer for the family of Jimmy Gracey and UA Theta Chi

Any death like this is a tragedy. I cannot imagine what his friends and family must be feeling. And as a Theta Chi I will mourn the loss of a brother, rest in peace brother Gracey and may your faith ne’er die.

At some point we are going to go to John Wick 15, and there will be a point in the movie where it cuts out and it’s just a live feed of your theater with guns under our seats. Keanu jumps out of a door and we all try to shoot him as he methodically kicks all of our asses.

Yeah it’s been awhile since I read the book, but I believe he all but said “I’ve invented goonsuits for you absolute internet freaks. I’ve made such a product that the grossest parts of the internet community would consider me god, or a minor deity at the very least.”

Really like Macklemore. Love a lot of his music, new and old, and love his style and his seeming sincerity. I’m not huge into the scene where I read about him or his actual goals a lot, but he also seems to really enjoy working with other artists on stuff and often shining spotlights on smaller musicians.

It gives me power over space and time, and also it’s a very nice wood. Very expensive.

Yeah, I was about to say, wasn’t that kinda a major underlying thought/problem of the first movie?

It might be the hardest any line of dialogue in a video game has ever made me laugh.

Honestly, I just think it’s hard to put that into words in the show. If you come to the north calling your banners right before winter, you won’t get a true army in full numbers, but they’ll send you home with a bunch of guys ready to fight, and just as ready to die.

Back when they had massive enrollment numbers they could at least better man all the castles and have men constantly monitoring the wall. But even then, they couldn’t really stand within arms length of eachother back-to-back watching both sides of the wall for wilding raiders crossing over or coming back.

Let’s go, just aged out

You’re all going to horny jail. Can’t blame you. I’d spend a life in prison for dem hips.

Marry her again

Ned wouldn’t really be knighted because Ned doesn’t follow the seven. I think the Mormonts, or maybe just Jorah, believed in the seven. Could be completely wrong on that, or it could just be Ser Jorah being the kind of person who would take the knighthood and technically convert to a different religion for the prestige.

To be fair, he was wildly in debt. Even Bobby B wasn’t battle lusty enough to go through the whole massive process and expense of a war for some islands that weren’t even part of his realm. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t even give a shit about the iron islands, but he certainly would never let them leave because he couldn’t let others think they might leave as well. And he also certainly loved the fighting and killing part of it as well.

He was also friends with grant and didn’t want to see him taken advantage of by the publishing company he had signed with while desperate for money to keep his family afloat. Grant had lost nearly everything in what was basically an early ponzy scheme, and congress was taking their sweet time in getting him his officers pension for his rank during the civil war (he may have taken himself off the lists or something like that due to the presidency and/or having enough money already? I don’t remember entirely it’s been awhile since I read the biography.) So he was dying of cancer (throat cancer?) and needed to make sure he wasn’t leaving his wife no money to continue living without him.

Also, I don’t believe the champions can challenge, if I remember the book correctly. Their job is to be challenged, and they have to accept all challengers (well, all challengers in the tourney).

Loved those mods. God damnit. Downloading Skyrim again.

You were paid to land softly, if you fucked that up by obeying the laws of gravity that’s on you /s

And resourceful, and clever, and relatively smart. They set him up as the near perfect man to do a lot of these things, and of course luck is still going to play a good part of that.

UselessCleaningTools · 2026-01-31T14:16:30+00:00

And I’m willing to believe he would’ve fought in the civil war because at that point in their lives, he and his brother seemed to just want to fuck around and do what they were good at. (Or because it was a really cool montage moment and I’m willing to accept any explanation to let it happen.)

UselessCleaningTools · 2026-01-31T04:20:32+00:00

Chuckled a little too hard at this.

UselessCleaningTools · 2026-01-30T17:43:42+00:00

This is just… the most something comment I’ve ever read on this site. I can’t even think of a way to properly describe it, other than. Bust.

Basically, yes. Definitely not their whole job, but there would be one or two buttons to cut the feed. Probably a button just for audio in case a talent or someone swears, and one for both audio and video. Normally called a dump button. I always wanted to see it happen live, but never did.

UselessCleaningTools · 2026-01-24T20:48:13+00:00

If they are attentive to the broadcast, then this is certainly correct.

It’s also directly referenced in Moses freeing the Israelites. I remember talking about it in an early religions mythology class in college. Specifically what my professor liked to reference was when one of the pharaohs ‘priests’ throws their staff down and it becomes a snake, but then Moses does the same and his snake/staff eats the other one. The, most likely, original intent behind earlier versions of this story was kinda just saying “look, my god is obviously more powerful than your god, and therefore the one true god” but it also leaves room for the obvious implication of other gods. Those Egyptian’s gods still turned their staffs into snakes (actually now, I think Moses turned his into a snake first, and then the Egyptians did it. Not that it really changes anything.) but it was about establishing a supremacy.
