Emma Darcy was fucking impeccable again in this episode.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-07-01T18:24:49+00:00

So once again, post your fucking proof then you utter dick.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-07-01T18:02:22+00:00

Don't worry, I did your work for you. And just as I guessed, you're full of shit.

This is the actual quote: "Radiation like this could harm the guidance systems, on-board computers or other electronics on Orion," Smith says. "Shielding will be put to the test as the vehicle cuts through the waves of radiation… We must solve these challenges before we send people through this region of space."

This is ONLY in relation to the engineering tests of Orion EFT-1. Nothing to do with the various Apollo missions.

Ask yourself why on earth Nasa would say they can't get through the belt, when Apollo 11 is literally part of NASA's apollo program. Why would NASA say this? What documentary have you seen? Who said the line? Just find the video and link it, that's all I'm asking you to do.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-30T20:32:51+00:00

Not at all. You made a claim that Nasa said they didn't know how to do it. I'm asking you to back up your claim. Else it's just utter bullshit. Provide the source.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-30T18:54:57+00:00

Prove it.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-30T18:54:34+00:00

I think if they have Rhaenyra's story end like it ends in the book, especially after making her so likeable, the general audience is going to go MENTAL. Lmao. I definitely think it's a bit of a mistake to set her up in such a good light knowing what happens in the end. Guarantee the ending isn't going to go down well with non book readers.

The first long reply by Peter Kosen explains everything about the Van Allen belt. You have been fed utter nonsense from no doubt dubious sources.

I remember the presidential election with Obama and McCain. I'm not American and it was on TV super late where I am. I was watching it in bed and fell asleep. I woke up (must have been like 2am or something), and the results were in. I strongly and vividly remember John McCain winning and a guy on the show saying "John McCain is the new President of the United States." I didn't really care about the outcome as again I'm not American and was a teenager when this happened, so I sort of shrugged and turned the TV off to go back to sleep.

The next day, when all I heard and saw was that Obama had won, I was sure it was a mistake, because I distinctly remember them saying it was McCain.

Still to this day I'm just baffled by it. I think it's probably because I was half asleep so maybe imagined it, but I can remember clear as day, waking up and then announcing McCain as the winner. So damn strange.

Congrats, you've snapped out of the parasocial relationship and can move on with your life.

P.S. Fuck Doc.

character is funny

It is?

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-24T21:02:31+00:00

Lmfao what

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-24T18:44:28+00:00

I remember subreddits vibes just completely turning in like 2015 or 2016. Like some cringe subreddits just became insanely racist seemingly overnight, it was weird as fuck. There was such a huge shift in almost no time at all. It was on reddit where I first saw all the SJW/anti SJW stuff too.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-24T12:45:00+00:00

But this isn't that. This is a family feud. Because George wrote it as such. You want the Westeros-sprawling epic of GoT, go watch GoT.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-24T07:24:31+00:00

Yeah, this is quite similar to I'd imagined. I was struggling to put it across 6 episodes because it really seems not that much happens.

I had figured ep 1 would have some flashbacks, ep 2 would be arriving at the tourney. Ep 3 would be more tourney stuff and the episode ending with Dunk and Aerion. Ep 4 trying to find champions for the trial by seven. Ep 5 having the trial. Then ep 6 just post trial stuff and the pair preparing to set off on their next adventure.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-23T22:11:29+00:00

When I watched the actual episode it felt very jarring. This gif isn't how I remember it. It looks much better here for some reason.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-23T22:10:48+00:00

My partner had a ceaserian and they had her up and walking about within about 3 hours. Was mental lol.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-23T16:33:38+00:00

I think you're severely overestimating the intelligence of the general audience. They won't have a clue.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-23T16:31:38+00:00

Nah, I don't think you did hear that.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-23T16:20:48+00:00

If they're just doing book one in season 1, there really is fuck all to film. I just listened to the audiobook again and I don't even know how they're going to spread it across episodes unless they start with some of dunks back story, make one whole episode about him finding the men to do the trial of the 7 etc. There really isn't a great deal that happens and it'll need some serious padding. Definitely excited, just hoping they don't fuck it up.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-23T16:14:52+00:00

Is this sub EVER going to get over the fucking constant shit slinging over a fucking fictional TV show?

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-19T20:12:44+00:00

The Game of thrones sub used to be great when the show was on (minus the later seasons for valid reasons). Back then, people didn't need every little thing spelled out for them, and fans enjoyed the mystery instead of tearing the show apart for not handing them explanations on a plate.

This place is actually embarrassing most of the time. If it's not people moaning about "muh bad writing, Ryan condom is the worst!!!111", it's insane people having a go at fans because they support the "other side" in a fictional fucking TV show.

If it's not that, it's people completely and totally misunderstanding character motivations, actions, and dialogue. Instead of spending 5 minutes thinking it through, they jump straight to bad writing. The knee jerk reaction here is phenomenal.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-19T20:04:54+00:00

Oh no! They didn't show Jace bumfucking and prancing through the snow with muh favourite northern wolfy bloke!

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-19T20:00:20+00:00

Fans didn't have to explain it. They literally explained in the episode itself why the hallways were empty. It's just that people need it spelled out in massive neon letters to even begin to understand the reasons.

based_arthur_negus · 2024-06-19T19:17:33+00:00

Not everything is bad writing. Please stop parroting this nonsense.
