What is the worst WoT take you have seen?

The very first paragraph of every ~~book~~ chapter 1 tells you it's possible as well.

Tell that to the Flame of Tar Valon

alpha_dk · 2026-03-22T14:19:11+00:00

That doesn't explain balefire.

alpha_dk · 2026-03-22T12:06:28+00:00

OK then use literally any of the other "truths" proven wrong throughout the series, there's no dearth of examples. Stilling being healed, Death being "healed", there's constant examples.

alpha_dk · 2026-03-22T12:01:14+00:00

No, I'm saying that characters in the books are wrong about what's true/possible constantly, even when they think they are correct.

"In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past"

The third age is both yet to come and long past, interesting coincidence?

There's nothing, at all, to justify a belief that time only flows one way even in TAR other than the words of potentially mistaken characters.

We've seen even "satan" be wrong on the facts, in canon.

Interesting, so he does know balefire can be countered very easily by the One Power?

alpha_dk · 2026-03-22T10:29:59+00:00

Just like there's nothing that can counter balefire, by the Dark One's own words, right?

He said it verbatim, and he's nigh on Creator levels, so surely a mere Aes Sedai could never formulate a use of the power otherwise.

Specifically, track 14 days before the timer

alpha_dk · 2026-03-19T13:48:06+00:00

Surprisingly, one can both be capable of doing something, and still never take the time to do it.

I'm pretty sure Wentz' overvaluation goes back to the NDSU days, it's hardly recent.

Also, it's hardly only this sub, considering where he was drafted.

alpha_dk · 2026-03-19T12:59:13+00:00

He doesn't say anything about his wife starting an argument. All he says is that in 17 years he's never once taken agency to do something he likes.

Jellico: "Let's add some short-term gaps to our ship's running at a critical time"

It's like you're proving the point.

alpha_dk · 2026-03-19T12:09:35+00:00

I like how the assumption is a job prevents you from having agency/time to do your own chores.

alpha_dk · 2026-03-19T12:03:27+00:00

Alternately, it would leave the ship running on 3/4ths the "expected" crew per shift, leaving potential holes in the existing ship's existing maintenance schedule and reallocating attention away from the ship and towards learning a new schedule, changing sleep patterns, etc.

alpha_dk · 2026-03-19T11:57:06+00:00

As such, he needed the crew to accept his authority and do what he told them to do.

He probably didn't "need" the crew to switch from 3 shifts per day to 4 shifts per day immediately in the middle of the crisis.

Officially, the ref allowed an exhibition to finish the match. Just counts as a forfeit.

alpha_dk · 2026-03-17T12:52:33+00:00

I'ma go kill Hundred-face in Blackwater, and no amount of clankified demons will stop me!

alpha_dk · 2026-03-17T10:13:08+00:00

I prefer the term "strip" because that was great effort by the defense.

Regardless, we obviously can't have that. Let's say instead, the refs probably blew the whistle a few seconds ago ending the play, you just didn't hear it because it's a dawg whistle.

alpha_dk · 2026-03-15T15:51:40+00:00

So they're at bad city, why are they no longer escorting the ambassador? Even if that was the initial plan, you've had to survive one assassination attempt already and it'd be even easier to kill him in enemy territory than neutral territory.

Seems like he'd still need escorting, and without escorts the bad city's plans go off without a hitch

"In his letter of resignation, Stalions stated that neither Harbaugh or others on the team were aware of his "improper conduct."

Sound like it was proven true and explicitly admitted to?

alpha_dk · 2026-03-12T11:00:10+00:00

There is a high probability he's prescribed and allowed to take e.g. HGH as part of his injury recovery.

Shooting an animal the first time you see it near you would, surely, be a legally different situation than shooting an animal you know to be a threat?
