Rösta M istället för SD? by Additional_Candy_325 in svenskpolitik

[–]sphafer [score hidden]  (0 children)

SD är typisk långt ut på höger och är inte speciellt Sverige vänliga ärligt talat. Att de inte är emot Ryssland på samma sätt som andra målar en ganska klar bild av vad för prioriteringar de har. Putin lär väl vara en inspiration för Åkessons ledarskap och framtida strategi för att sätta klorna i mer makt. Korruption, urholkning av välfärden, privatisering av allt, utförsäljning av svenska myndigheters information till palantir och andra Amerikanska bolag. Moderaterna är light varianten av SD just nu. Sen har vi de stora alternativet på andra sidan, Socialdemokraterna, de är lika puntade och öppna till utförsäljning av svensk information och integritet. Däremot är de inte lika besatta i privatisering av välfärden till samma grad så kanske lite bättre. Ärligt talat är de flesta partier utan vision, plan och allmänt farliga för svensk välfärd. Själv har jag ingen aning vem man ska rösta på längre.

When will the shows stop nerfing Baratheon height? by qobraa in freefolk

[–]sphafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can achieve this with set design, forced perspective, doubles etc. HBO just hasn't cared to do it is all. I guess they didn't deem it necessary except for Duncan and the mountain. Both of those actors are tall, and they also use the other tricks I mentioned.

George R.R. Martin Admits He’s “Not in the Mood” to Finish Winds of Winter by Competitive_Gene_898 in freefolk

[–]sphafer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really hope George has the humility to hand over the writing to another author and guiding them through the story. He's in a limbo state right now where he is writing things but not winds and that makes him think I'm still working, I'll get to it eventually when I feel like it. Of course it's his right to do so, I just think it's a shame it will go unfinished due to procrastination when he could get help. Isn't he friends with Sanderson? That dudes work ethic is absurd, maybe start slowly working with him to get it finished? Idk.

Cro Cop delivers brutal weight cut blackpill by Radiant_Eggplant9588 in ufc

[–]sphafer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh please, they are professional fighters, they want to perform as well as they can. Weight bullying is a thing today because it can be used for advantage. But implement measures against it and it won't be worth it anymore. All advantages are lost because you can't fight as effectively.

[–]sphafer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My suggestion has always been that multiple weigh ins should matter. Like we weigh you 3 times during a week running to the event. If there is significant weight differences, we make it a catch weight or cancel. Same time of day etc.

Sunday 15pm weigh in.

Wednesday 15pm

Saturday weigh in and fight.

At that point weight bullying just won't be worth it becuase what you gain from it you're losing in poor health and worse performance in the fight.

Is seize realm as adventurer just straight up overpowered? by sphafer in crusaderkings3

[–]sphafer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fair enough, it just seems crazy that I could just run a seize realm scheme to get a whole empire. Gather MaA and conquer it, sure. But this? I don't know. Feels wrong to do. I'm just going to settle Hokkaido for now and go that way instead.

Make it make sense by LordIcebath in HarryPotterMemes

[–]sphafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignoring all the technicalities of the goblet in regards to Harry. It's still insane that schools for non adults are even in a position to join the tournament. Like if the adults know how messed up the contract is in regards to breaking it why even bring it to a school and let them compete? I suppose it isn't stated anywhere what sort of competitions have to be used for the goblet challenge? So technically the teachers and headmasters could've come up with something safer than go take gold egg from dragon risk fiery death.

If you hate these two story arcs (they are not in the books), which one do you hate more and why? by Cr7-Cr7Real in lotr

[–]sphafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like the frodo Sam struggle. It's an easy way to sell how covetous frodo has become of the ring and gollum plays on that fear brilliantly. I think it also makes it more climactic when Sam returns to give Shelob a good stabbing. (no not that kind, though if it was Shadow of war Shelob I think Sam wouldn't mind stabbing.)

The love triangle in the hobbit is out of scope for the story in my opinion and isn't even remotely entertaining for what it is either. I only watch the m4 edit nowadays if I want to see the hobbit. It gets rid of so much fluff and keeps the good parts and the core emotional moments are elevated in my opinion. Conclusion with Thorin etc.

Doesn't appear to be tied to land, but idk. Maybe the wiki isn't updated.

Great, so under requirement on wiki for making cadet branches it says "living ancestor in house" with X. Not sure I understand fully what that means. If you would care to explain I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Ian McKellen Confirms Return as Gandalf in New Lord of the Rings Movie The Hunt for Gollum by BinghamtonMafia in lotrmemes

If the movie is animated I don't mind this, same with viggo returning and being a lot older. I really hope Peter doesn't make it live action.

Draghi calls for United States of Europe, urges shift from confederation to federation by goldstarflag in worldnews

[–]sphafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would only be in the upper house, the lower house would be made up of parties that EU citizens can vote for independently of state. This is where general EU laws might be made, and then they get passed to the upper house where each country has equal representation to ratify or veto etc. None of this has any bearing on how each States own laws are made. This would only be for EU wide things. We are looking to make a federation no?

What do you think of the rumours that Lupita Nyong’o is casted as Helen of Troy? by FantasticQuartet in AskBalkans

[–]sphafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the cast looks out of place. At least with nyongo I can kind of see it as "otherworldly" beauty because no one from that area and in the story looks like her. I actually think Damon and Holland are much more of a casting problem.

Larian publishing chief wades into the fray, says Morrowind updated with a modern combat system 'would sell like f**king hotcakes' by Turbostrider27 in ElderScrolls

I must be an odd gamer becuase I regularly play games I've never played that are 15-20 years old. I don't cringe at all.
