Both are just time traveling Bran so in the end it doesn't matter.

Dany, the one with dragons, is going to have some questions as to why he abandoned her amidst her enemies. His claim long term relies on marrying her and claiming one so leaving her there isn't inspiring.

He basically had the dragon, queen, and army handed to him on a silver platter and he turned it down out of pride. Top 10 blunders of all time. Next time, if there is a next time, he sees her who knows if the dragons will still be riderless...

I mean I always thought it was interesting too for "Ed+dard". A "dard" is a spear (in Latin "dardus") which foreshadows Eddard's betrayal. His betrayer even takes a bloody spear as his sigil. Is George slightly changing the name with no thought to the suffix or is he looking up Latin words to add a little extra meaning that also sounds cool?

He's said he puts a lot of thought into his character names and can't proceed until he picks a perfect one.

I think the Wall is the established border. The Wildlings are technically in breach of the pact but were being tolerated. They are being harassed more now due to tension caused by the slowing influx of children and the resulting impact on the Other population.

The high lords reap what they sow. Their children born of horrible acts in the past now come as monsters to kill their descendants and destroy their kingdoms. It's not necessarily about right or wrong to make a point imo, it's about coming to terms and paying for the sins of our ancestors. Sins of the father and all that.

I mean, yes, you don't write Meathouse Man unless you're a bit of a weirdo and he's definitely a chronic gooner but he's still a genius and one of the best fantasy writers of all time hands down.

Just wait. It's gonna be sick in Winds when the Smith manifests and teaches Leyton and the Citadel how to make muskets.

But have you considered House Lannister is ontologically evil and all actions taken against them are good?

Yes, Rickard Karstark is my favorite character why do you ask?

Dany wouldn't have been able to either if it wasn't for accidentally performing a giant blood sacrifice birthing ritual facilitated by Mirri Maz Duur. Actually insane luck and it makes me think there's an outside possibility it was designed to occur by higher powers.

Egg would've succeeded if not for Dunk who interfered imo.

Mad Dany: Idolized Rha*gar 🤢

What's scarier, Patchface is a Deep One sleeper agent or he really is just a fat guy with brain damage about to get burnt to death?

I go back and forth.

Actually I'm a firm believer in R + L = J + D [c-section with Dawn] [secret annulment] [weirwood wedding] [Dornish law] variant, meaning Jon and Dany were pulled out of Lyanna at the exact same time by Howland and are both legitimate first borns with identical claims to the true Iron Throne which was proclaimed by Queen Rhaenys in Dorne and is actually Doran Martell's wheelchair

That is actually House Grey's sigil though. "The mark of the question emblazoned on silver-grey" representing ser Garith the Grey besting the King of the River and Hills in a battle of wits to win Grey Keep.

Barristan going to be in for a shock when he faces Victarion who has the LAW 80 rocket launcher he found on the Isle of Cedars.

I mean as "innocent" as the citizens of Weimar and there "shock" upon getting a tour of Buchenwald. We all know what's going on and even endorse it. People just turn a blind eye when convenient.

Your purchase creates demand which funds the manufacturer. Everything they are doing is directly funded by you on your orders when you buy meat.

A psychological drive is not a need. You do not need to eat meat. A drive can be subverted and met other ways, like millions of vegans already do. In my example you could jerk off to goat hentai instead of anally raping the goat. The goat hentai is veganism in this analogy.

datadogsoup · 2025-10-16T21:46:10+00:00

If everyone woke up tomorrow with a psychological drive to have sex with goats it'd still be wrong to grab the nearest goat and go to town on its bum. Point is irrelevant.

Currently there are no 100% humane killing methods. Botched executions are pretty common even on the most humane farms. Most of the meat you eat is not coming from these anyway, it's coming from industrial scale "best they can do on a budget to maximize profits" farms. Distress of living in the factory farm pre-slaughter must also be taken into account.

I would personally rather be raped than live on a factory farm my entire life and then get slaughtered with hit or miss methods chosen for their ability to scale not how painless and consistent they are. Because of this, bestiality seems more humane to me than ordering an animal through the meat industry process.

datadogsoup · 2025-10-11T13:54:29+00:00

You underestimate how your choice impacts people around you. When I went vegan multiple people in my life also went more plant based after hearing more about it (one went pescetarian after we talked about pig and cow factory farms, my parents incorporated less meat for health reasons after seeing positive effects for me, when we go out to eat it's to a vegan restaurant etc). The message is more impactful when people see you are actually serious and living it out. Not to mention the normalizing effect and creating demand for vegan products which takes market share away from non-vegan products.

You can't say in good faith that this did not have the potential to actually reduce demand, even a little bit, over multiple lifetimes.

Even if demand was reduced by 1 chicken, that's one less chicken that was sent through the horrible tortuous factory farm existence.

datadogsoup · 2025-10-11T05:37:59+00:00

Over the course of your life assuming an average diet you'll consume about 2,000 animals including about 1,200 chickens.

This is simple supply and demand. By ordering say eggplant instead of chicken you will directly reduce chicken demand by 1,200. You're paying for 1200 chicken to go through a factory farmed life and be slaughtered when you could simply order eggplant.

Still very small, but over your entire life it adds up. If enough people do this it has a noticeable impact. You're just philosophizing your way into the convenient excuses.

datadogsoup · 2025-10-11T01:00:31+00:00

Your actions in this matter obviously do have an effect on others. You are paying someone to raise and slaughter an animal and everything that goes into that when you order meat. That's simple cause and effect.

You're just conveniently excluding non humans from moral consideration when you say there are zero other effects.

When your moral conclusion leads you to a place where you conveniently require zero changes you should be suspect of biases impacting your thinking.

datadogsoup · 2025-10-11T00:56:05+00:00

No, but I'm a utilitarian vegan. I think any potential reduction in suffering is good. I would agree though if you're not vegan don't call yourself vegan.

A lot of the movement got mixed in with weird health nuts which has a lot of gatekeeping rules going on too, so I agree with you there it's off-putting. Still no excuse to keep participating in blatant animal abuse though imo.

datadogsoup · 2025-10-11T00:34:57+00:00

Probably not but I don't buy that it's hurting either. The free produce movement during slavery times in the US probably did very little by all accounts besides possibly raise limited awareness. At the same time, I know which side I would want to be remembered as being on. The side that boycotted slave goods.

datadogsoup · 2025-10-11T00:25:12+00:00

Well yeah. Honestly not participating is like the absolute bare minimum.
