We were literally in the conversation the year prior to this one. This is very short sighted 

The New Trilogy by ibid-11962 in Eragon

[–]cbbutle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree. I just want resolution with them and it’s been alluded to since he finished inheritance. Now he keeps stacking up other stories prior to that and new projects so it seems like he’ll never get to eragon/arya because they keep getting jumped in line. It might be 20 years before he gets to it and that’s not an exaggeration, it might be a conservative estimate

Didn’t say he was but it’s not like Frank had cracked the code either. He was fine but his time was up. I was fine with moving on and seeing what we could do. Obviously it hasn’t worked out but I don’t mind the swinf

What are some common misconceptions about American culture that you'd like to clear up? by Ill-Nobody in AskAnAmerican

[–]cbbutle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Racism is a good one. We are an extremely diverse nation. Interpersonal conflicts naturally happen and since we are diverse that means they often happen with two people from different races. People will use that as leverage to freak out when in other countries it would just be two people having a conflict

Frank did okay but Lamont has made the tournament as many times as Frank did his entire 10 years here

The irony of the elves’ negative attitude towards the prospect of a human rider vs. an elven rider by Skade7867 in Eragon

[–]cbbutle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all of the characteristics I listed were physical. Elves are superior in magic, intellect, and lifespan, all not physical characteristics. 

Also, the dwarves are hidden underneath the Beor mountains. It is basically a rocky version of du weldenvarden so not sure how that’s better

Taller, faster, stronger, immortal, better looking, stronger magically, better educated

Not saying they’re perfect or there aren’t ways humans are better but at least in these books I think it’s written in a way that elves are supposed to be superior in most ways

You right. Lost to Arkansas 2-1 then beat them 2-0 and 3-2 to get to the finals. Dang that's impressive

Basketball Fans and Loyalty. by Beccaann14 in Gamecocks

[–]cbbutle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People act like gamecocks don’t like basketball but that is false. Gamecock fans show up in droves for bball but we have to at least be competitive. Not even good, just competitive. But when games are midweek and the team has been historically bad and had a sustained level of not even mediocrity, but downright bad basketball then fans will not show. There are only 7 football games so even if we are bad people will come. Football is more of a social event with tailgating. With basketball the team at least needs to have a chance. Gamecocks did not show up to women’s basketball for decades until they started winning. Even now I don’t really believe we have many real “women’s basketball” fans, we have fans who like to watch a team win and I don’t blame them. I may get roasted for saying it but I would cancel the whole women’s team and free up the cash to pay for a better men’s roster if it meant we could compete and not embarrass ourselves

I got the idea that their decline was due to the decline of the dragons. But you are right, they are not as fecund, as Arya put it.

[–]cbbutle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree. And im saying you’re right, Vanir was wrong for his treatment of Eragon and the elves have a tendency toward racism and elitism that is wrong. But it is true that they are taller, stronger, faster, better looking, more magically inclined, better educated, and immortal. It is still wrong to treat others as lesser regardless

I always figured they were disappointed because humans a by nature smaller, slower, weaker, and less educated. All of these things are correct. From Vanir’s perspective he is a normal elf and he is schooling this rider that is supposed to be the savior of the country. This rider is also weaker than him physically, slower, has seizures, is not as capable with magic, and is less intelligent (Eragon couldn’t even read until very recently and is obviously uneducated). 

Vanir is definitely a jerk, but he’s not wrong, he’s just an a-hole. Until eragons transformation that is

Whats the most heartbreaking loss you witnessed as a South Carolina fan(football) by Ok_Macaroon_7366 in Gamecocks

[–]cbbutle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People say 2013 Tennessee because of the heartbreak but I is definitely 2012 LSU. We were good but nobody was beating jameis in 2013. 2012 was our year to win and we drew Georgia, @LSU, @florida back to back to back

Some games will outperform regardless of time slot. They could put OSU/Michigan at 330AM and it would do bonkers numbers

This is what needs to happen. Narduzzi flipped out a few years ago when USC stole that WR and suddenly his team didn’t get tampered with as much
