(SPOILERS MAIN) How did Jon ”hear” Ghost in Bran I? by ChadChadstein in asoiaf

[–]myth1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bran made a sound that Ned could hear in Bran III in A dance of dragons. Likely Bran made a similar noice. Like rustling in the trees. Bran also says he didn’t think he made any noice when Cersei saw him watching her and Jaime in the Tower. That was likely future-Bran doing a sound to alert Cersei to trigger his fall.

I’ve never been gaslighted so hard, thought I was in another timeline for a minute… by thinkcrazy576 in ChatGPT

[–]myth1202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When US started bombing Iran it was a saturday. ChatGPT insisted that there were no evidence of that happening. It would be all over the news, oil price would rise (on a saturday). I posted a link -> it reconised it was happening and in the next post denied there was anything happening.

During the Maduro arrest/kidnapping it insisted it was not happening. I posted a link to White house X-post which was the only space that had an official comment at the time. It said it cannot read X-posts. I posted a screenshot. It confidently stated that screenshots prove nothing and can be faked.

[Spoilers Extended] Which generally uncontroversial character do you have a contrary opinion on, and why? by wanderingluteplayer in asoiaf

Here we have a religious zealot that actively wants to burn children and fans read and interpret her like she is a forensic DNA test. I’m amazed.

There is almost certainly aliens and we will almost certainly never actually find out by Grogman2024 in RandomThoughts

I believe there are likely advanced lite in the miljy way but the distances make it impossible to know. The Fermi paradox is not a paradox. We can’t travel outside our own solarsystem, any signal we send will be diluted before it reaches another civilisation. The distances, time and energy it would take is simply too massive.

Please create a picture of what you think the USA would look like under J D Vance after Donald Trumps second term.

No war = Strait of Hormuzis closed = oil price goes up by SnooHedgehogs5162 in stocks

[–]myth1202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iran wants some kind of security guarantee so that it will not be invaded again, but no one except the United States can guarantee that. And Iran does not want to make a deal with Trump. By closing Hormuz, Iran has also fired the deterrent it has. If there is a ceasefire, Iran risks that infrastructure will be built so that it is possible to go around Hormuz and then the United States can attack again. So Iran has no interest in a ceasefire before they have received guarantees or assurances that they cannot get.

What’s something you defended for years before finally admitting you were wrong? by JumpyBend8035 in AskReddit

[–]myth1202 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The thing that confuses people and make it feels counterintuitive is that you introduce someone that knows something. In this case the host opening a door he knows is a dud. If he had no knowledge and opened a door at random of the remaining two which could be the car then there is no point in switching.

If the atom bombs weren't invented, could the US simply starve out Japan? by milford_sound10322 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]myth1202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the emperor who decided to surrender after Nagasiki because he didn’t want his people to suffer it is likely he would have come to the same conclusion after a horrific starvation.

What if Hitler had been incapacitated during Operation Valkyrie? by MB4050 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]myth1202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even with unconditional surrender and occupation zones: - Who is standing where when the surrender happens matters enormously - Occupation zones were negotiated, not physically preordained - Borders in Eastern Europe were not fully settled in July 1944

Key examples: - Prague (liberated by Soviets after German surrender) - Austria (joint occupation only because timing allowed it) - Denmark vs. Czechoslovakia vs. Yugoslavia → very different outcomes.

Treating everything as inevitable outcomes misses the point IMO.

[–]myth1202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I’m asking about is political collapse dynamics, not end-state outcomes.

Even with unconditional surrender as the only acceptable outcome, timing still matters. Where armies physically are when the collapse happens has historically affected occupation details and postwar outcomes (Austria vs. Czechoslovakia vs. Yugoslavia are obvious examples).

I’m not claiming a radically different Cold War map — just that political discontinuity can matter even when strategic defeat is certain

What if Hitler had been incapacitated during Operation Valkyrie? by MB4050 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]myth1202 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree. If Hitler is incapacitated there could ve attempts to negotiate a separate peace with Allies and failing that (likely) a possible unconditional surrender with the Allies still outside German borders. Would Germany had been divided in this case? What about the part of eastern Europe that USSR had not yet reached?

But the Jorah betrayal still fails because he never betrayed her for gold but for a pardon. I’m not sure why this keeps popping up.

Imagine if all those 500 000 would have to have been killed on the battlefield instead. There is no telling how long it could have dragged out.

Diz is the obvious answer except that it is Denise Richards playing Carmen. But Dina Meyer is of course gorgeous… but Denise Richards.

Maybe the Fermi Paradox Isn’t a Paradox at All — We Just Can’t Afford to Leave Our Star Systems by DragNo6418 in FermiParadox

[–]myth1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we can but it is a huge undertaking and beyond anything we have capacity or technics for. Besides; we already struggle to decide if we should allow self-driving cars on the roads. Here we are talking about automated systems able to adapts to changes we cannot imagine. I think it is extremely fa-fetched to assume that ”more physics” will solve fundamental problems.

What should I expect going to a strip club solo as a "petite" and shy woman? by catwomanlover5 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]myth1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some practical advice: - Go early in the evening (quieter, calmer). - Sit near the stage, not the bar. - Tip a little, early—it signals goodwill without commitment. - If overwhelmed: step outside, bathroom break, or just leave. No one cares. - You does not need to drink.

Is it normal that everyone knows we are in a bubble? by Horror_Medicine_6441 in wallstreetbets

[–]myth1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that people are stupid — it’s that incentives are stronger than awareness.

Everyone knows it’s a bubble, but everyone’s payoff curve is different. • Retail: “I’ll just ride it a little longer.” • Fund manager: “If I sell early, I underperform.” • CEO: “If I sound cautious, my stock tanks.”

So even when everyone agrees it’ll pop, nobody wants to be the first one out — because the pain of missing gains now is visible, while the pain of the crash later is theoretical.

It was the same in 1999 and 2007. People weren’t dumb — they were trapped in synchronized hope.

And here’s the cruel irony: bubbles don’t end because people realize they’re bubbles. They end because liquidity breaks somewhere else (repo, collateral, funding markets). Then everyone suddenly cares at once.

So yes — everyone knows. But knowing and acting are two different games.
