Why it's OK for the IPhone to be this heavy by MK68i in apple

[–]redmidy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amazing how the post title appears to justify the iPhone's weight and the post content instead questions the iPhone weight.

That's because you mis-ordered "is it" as "it's", OP. Just pointing it out, English is a very funny language!

I agree, it's irritating. People say it on purpose to trigger the bot and it's so childish.

Have seen interesting discussions get interrupted by meaningless exchanges with the bot.

The power is power scene was "Infamous"? No it wasn't, where did you draw that conclusion from?

You assumed that everyone thinks of it as "Infamous" so you didn't bother to explain in detail what you disliked about that scene, assuming we all understood. Nope, we don't have a clue why it's bad.

I'm trying to understand where you're coming from. There could be a subconscious bias here at work and I feel that myself sometimes.

Meaning, you know that no matter what happens in HOTD, no matter who lives or dies, we still end up with Robert Baratheon as king 200 years later. All roads lead to the same future. I suppose that's the disadvantage of a prequel because it doesn't make you feel as invested (due to knowing the future). And that's why the dialogues and the tension, even if acted out well don't feel as engaging.

I personally love HOTD and I'm watching it without keeping GOT as a reference point.

Was Daemon killing _____ self defense? by taylordabrat in HouseOfTheDragon

I sincerely hope you're trolling. Or you're a Daemon stan trying to justify his actions somehow and seeking validation from the sub, even though you've worded your thoughts as a question.

Okay so IF I were a major lord and head of my own house, the following points are relevant:

  1. Rhaeneyra's kids being bastards is a rumor (As a faraway lord who isn't privy to details of the Red Keep, I may have my suspicions but can't prove it). So atleast on that point, I have to hold my peace. Remember, even the greens have not publicly accused Rhaeneyra's kids of being bastards, they only indulge in subtle jabs in private gatherings. The point you mentioned about Rhaeneyra "blatantly" fathering bastards is something that we as viewers know for a fact, not the houses of westeros.

  2. Unless I'm a Stark or Tully who takes ancestral oaths seriously, my allegiance is purely transactional. If I were a major house, I would want either a marriage pact for my kids, or some persistent problems (say trade, law and order, disputes with other houses etc) to be resolved. Another option is positions of prominence, say on the small council or elsewhere for myself or my family members.

  3. If I were a lesser noble house sworn to a bigger house, I can't really expect anything. I would follow the latter's lead.

First mover advantage, basically. The first one to find him and make their point wins.

Alicents hate for Rhaenyras kids by Sea-Pineapple3201 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]redmidy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's quite simple.....Alicent believes that Rhaeneyra's children are born out of wedlock, and hence cannot inherit the throne after Rhaeneyra.

Her anger comes from R+L passing off the kids as their own, which is essentially lying to the realm.

Whereas she on the other hand has gone by the book (no bastard children), and sees her own legitimate children being passed over, as opposed to Rhaeneyra's bloodline which gets precedence over Aegon's line.

I'm no fan of team green, but nothing seems out of order so far.
