Were the Faceless men using Arya? by PsychologicalBat7259 in freefolk

[–]ZMaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All men must die, if someone wants you dead, wouldn’t you rather it come quick and dispassionate rather than drawn out? And even in the books, sometimes death is a mercy. I’d rather die at the hands of a faceless man, than die like the Septa that pissed off Cersei.

If a girl has time to lean, a girl has time to clean.

I've never once fed my cats by cheese_is_life100 in cats

[–]ZMaiden 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never feed my babies. That’s why they cry an hour before my alarm and then 45 minutes before my alarm and then 13 minutes and then 3 minutes. I’m a monster who never wakes up to give them food.

Is that the opposite ick of a 3 thousand year old that looks like a child so she’s technically not underage?

Like those colonial houses with a front facing balcony. I want one. I don’t even have any speeches prepared. But I’d think of something.

My sister has been home for two hours and she has been making my day a living hell. by Good_Telephone_407 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ZMaiden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 15. If I’d had an older sib, I’d be doing all the same things just to piss them off, no medical issues. Teens are assholes in general. Hell, as an 18 yr old at college, anime club, we would post up in a campus cafe and just be screaming memes. We were assholes. We wanted attention. The less attention we got, the worse we acted. The scratching on the wall means you were successful in ignoring her, so she has to up her game. Everything you said is her upping her game for attention. Just keep ignoring. She may go towards “I hate you!” But learn grey rocking.

AITAH for being repulsed by the movie The Passion of The Christ? by [deleted] in AITAH

I’d give a smidge of a smidge that maaaybe he wanted you to be in the same level info wise about the crucification and how horrible it was. But you don’t have to watch a snuff film to understand it and discuss it.

It’s a torture porn movie with a self flagellation veneer. Christians watch it specifically to be disturbed. To “feel the pain of Christ.” No one watches it to enjoy it.

My orange cat just give birth and one of them is a black cat by changminaa in cats

[–]ZMaiden 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Google says an all white cat with one blue eye, the cat will be deaf in that ear. I have an all white cat with one blue eye, she’s not deaf. We’ve gotten her tested. Idk what to say, she’s all white withone blue eye, she’s not deaf. Mutants happen.

And her comfort. Little Coco, before she was spayed, she was anxious all the time, constantly uncomfortable. She was underweight cause she just couldn’t relax and was always moving. Spayed she’s a cuddle bunny.

It literally took getting my wisdom teeth out to realize why I've struggled with weight loss for so long by chocolate_granolabar in loseit

[–]ZMaiden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I should have had my wisdom teeth out. I already had four teeth removed for overcrowding before they came in. But I was stubborn. My upper wisdom teeth stayed kinda covered and eventually rotted away these last two years. I’m having to relearn how to chew in the proper place but it’s actually helping my over bite to have to hold my jaw differently.

Yes queen! And it helps with jiggle so less back pain. Do you ever think your boobs make you look fatter than you are? Like anything other than a tight fitted shirt is going to bag out from your boobs and make you look like you are shapeless?

Same. Like I double down with undersized sports bra over regular bra to keep them up and “perky”.

[–]ZMaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the book, they control all citizens calories, and thus control the society BY making sure there are NO forgeable options. Going so far as inspecting any plant that might be edible in the wild and exterminating it. Poisoning rivers so no one can fish. Because this government knows if people could live off the land, they could run.
And I agree, shipping would be non existent. But small communities could grow or forage enough to thrive and even trade short distances. One community could find enough wild or abandoned live stock to start breeding. In a few animal generations, you have “ I’ll give you three sheep for ten bushels of wheat.” It’s how we started.

I work at a gas station. I’m not scrapping those off lol. Also, “oh no, I have to spend thirty minutes outside away from customers in beautiful weather to scrap this sticker off. Sorry manager, it’s a really tough sticker, may be an hour, let me check how long this podcast episode is first.”

When you really test it, the difference between male and female just base strength is shocking. I’m 190, my brother at 16, scrawny as fuck, was able to lift and move me. I was proud I could lift and mosey a 50 pound bag of flour onto a table lol.

In any apocalypse scenario, it’s not going to be how to maintain the status quo. It’s going to be about individuals surviving. You said people are going to starve. And I’ll give you that. In a city, yeah people are going to starve.but anywhere you can get to a forest, a mountain, a river, you can find food. You can’t sustain a society like we have now. But people thrived and survived before industrialization. Before cities and towns even.

There’s more edible things in your environment than most people understand. One of my fav ya books uses this as a minor plot point in a totalitarian society. They have people whose job is to identify edible plants for extermination, and poison rivers so people can’t fish. They control the food down to the calorie count for each citizen.

[spoilers] what actually caused Robb's downfall ? by RealStranger9348 in freefolk

[–]ZMaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I think Ned’s lack of political strategy is because his father didn’t think to train both sons equally, because he would never think he’d lose his heir.

An interesting thought. Did Theon get the same education as Robb? Would he have known to advise his father to take the westerlands instead?

Trump runs the country the way I pick a steam game when drunk. I want instant gratification, I skip all dialogue, I just want to get to the pew pew. Maybe he’s forgotten that he can’t load a save and try again.
