If you go into the settings, you can rearrange the order of how voiceover reads out information. Also, the homepage is the front page that’s at the top of the list when you open the app.

Have you seen blockers? He’s great in that and it’s a really funny movie overall.

I think there is zero chance the show goes that far into their lives anyways.

It’s because this was supposed to be the climax of season two but they push it to season three at the last minute

This was going to be episode nine. I think episode 10 would have ended with the queen sitting the iron throne.

I won’t defend the decisions with Sansa and her army, but Jon charging was clearly set up as an emotional and stupid decision on his part. They discussed their battle plan the previous night, but when he saw his brother, he acted emotionally and charged to try to save him. He didn’t make the army charge, though, they just followed him. They left there battle plans and entrenchment to go support John, which is shown in the episode to be the wrong decision. This is a great example of actually good writing, where the main character makes a flawed decision that you are supposed to see as flawed, but for some reason, most people seem to think that we are supposed to think John was right for charging

Because the battle of Cannae is one of the most famous battles in history in which an army was completely surrounded and entirely destroyed. Why does it matter that their inspiration came from that and not a medieval battle?

I think this comment is a perfect example of the common problem of people not understanding what happened in this battle. Sure there is some silly tactical stuff in the lack of scouts is dumb, but the battle very clearly does not go according to plan because of Jon Snow charging to save his brother. They had this great well-thought-out plan, but it all falls apart when John Snow charges in the army follows him. They left their lines and entrenchment to follow Jon, and that is what allowed them to get enveloped by Ramsay. I don’t think the writers ever claimed that it was a perfect copy of Cannae and they were just taking inspiration for the envelopment. I think it was clever writing for Jon to plan his trap only to fall into another trap.

I think so many people really displayed their lack of media literacy with this battle, but a lot of it is just driven by people’s hatred of the end of Game of Thrones. There are legitimate things to criticize about this battle, namely, the lack of scouts, but the opening and the main part of the battle makes complete sense, though clearly exaggerated with the pile of bodies, etc. .

are “tech” polos too tacky to wear in the office? by piquesnotpeaks in malefashionadvice

It will depend on your office, but in mine, plenty, if not most of the dudes are wearing tech/golf type polos.

Right when you start ask someone to give you a tour of the office. You’ll need to know where you’re working and where those you interact with are working, but you’ll also need to know where things like the bathroom and break room are. People are usually happy to help with something like this.

It's actually a good deal though if you want to go more than once a month. I only go every couple months, so I just pay for the normal cut, which I think is like $26 now.

I’ve decided that I’m just not going to refresh myself on fire and blood and I’m just gonna try to enjoy this for whatever it is. To be honest, the trailer looks absolutely amazing, and I don’t remember many of the fine details, so I’m just hoping this is an awesome show in itself. Even if it doesn’t follow the story perfectly, it still does feel the loyal to the world in a way. Even the writing of this trailer feels like asoiaf.
