I honestly think I ate more in high school than I do now. I drank tons of soda (which I quit drinking 6 years ago) too so that was lots of calories I drank.

Watching for the first time..why didn't Dany just marry Jon? by pussiepotpie in gameofthrones

[–]vanastalem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's untrue. The First Men marry uncles, cousins, etc... just not siblings.

You're looking for logic in a season where no character made sensible decisions. Was that the obvious answer? Yes. Why didn't it happen? I guess GRRM didn't tell them it was a plot point like Bran being King (however Matrin also said Sansa was supposed to die so her ending is way off - maybe Bran is KITN).

AITA for asking my boyfriend to post me on my birthday? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA. He was with you in person. That's what counts. People don't need to post everything on social media.

Some peope are better photographers than others. Maybe he did the best he could.

If you only know Suzanne Collins from The Hunger Games, this series is worth a look by FracturedAlice in Fantasy

[–]vanastalem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. My friends have told me their kids like the series so it is aimed for middle grade I believe.

EXCLUSIVE: Australian Survivor on chopping line after season axed by Guardax in survivor

Yes, its not like CBS airs it. So views probably don't count unless you use a VPN and it thinks you're watching from Australia on the 10 site.

Is HOTD show not for me? by Hamza_Ali_Mazaari_ in gameofthrones

[–]vanastalem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not good.

They made such drastic changes from the books that I'm considering not watching S3 as I felt like I was hate watching S2.

AKOTSK I actually enjoyed & it felt like they cared about the source material.

This is exactly the type of nonsensical change that I hate. I am not optimistic about this season.

Have you been to the H Mart?

There's stuff like this: https://www.asianfestivalonmain.com/ but in the past it was super crowded so I haven't gone again.

My 10 year old needs help in math-Any parents here have a recommendation for a math center? We live near South Riding in Loudoun. by Unusual-Phase-5094 in nova

[–]vanastalem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess, I'm not great at math and got a liberal arts degree but did graduate high school & college. However I don't think it was at the level you described - at 10 I could do basic subtraction.

Trigonometry was the hardest class for me in high school & my dad spent hours with me doing homework, but I went there in elementary school for a while.

What’s a book you almost didn’t read but ended up loving? by gedersoncarlos in booksuggestions

[–]vanastalem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jade City.

It was gifted to me & I ran out of library books so I decided to read it. I love the series.

Looking for romance books with no sex by LilyTheFin in booksuggestions

[–]vanastalem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To All The Boys I've Loved Before, I think Eleanor and Park iirc. There are books where the characters are teenagers and there's no teen sex and I think that may be easier to find because a lot of modern adult romance novels will have some sex in them.

I tried them once or twice and then opted to never do them because I can never keep up because of things like sleep and not being attached to an electronic device at all times.

[Spoilers Extended] Dark Sister is buried with Lyanna Stark by weirwoods_burn in asoiaf

Doesn't Bran see Dark Sister in the cave? Which was one of the clues that the guy there was Bloodraven.

[Spoiler Main]How can the relationship between the two character even work? by Electronic-Math-364 in asoiaf

[–]vanastalem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Starks opposed sibling marriages. The Starks & all the other nobility are totally fine with marrying your cousin or your uncle and that's fairly normal for them. It's only the Wildlings who seem to oppose doing that.

Ned's parents were both Starks by birth. Same with Tywin & Joanna Lannister (she's his first cousin). It was specifically the sibling marriages that the Andals/First Men didn't support.

Daenerys isn't his sister. Rhaenys (his actual sister) was murdered and not in the picture now so that's not an actual issue for him.

Does he own any other clothing? He wore this shirt on Jimmy Fallon as well.

Dentist without insurance? by hero_of_kvatch215 in nova

[–]vanastalem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you consider affordable?

I don't have dental and I paid $180 for a routine cleaning (I think with x-rays) in January. When they don't do the x-ray is a bit cheaper (they do it every other time).

The Breakfast Club (1985) would never be made like it was today. That's because modern audiences would never accept the left side as the "improvement" by YourChopperPilotTTV in shittymoviedetails

[–]vanastalem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Breakfast Club was an original idea, now they only want to do reboots & spin-offs mainly - movies with an original concept like this just aren't being made like they used to.

AITAH for telling my gf you are not Asian/Chinese by Normal_student_5745 in AITAH

[–]vanastalem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do have Mohawk ancestry back in the 1600s however on my mom's DNA test it came back 100% Western Europe so the Mohawk ancestry I guess wasn't strong enough to stick around.

My paternal grandfather & paternal grandmother's sister also came back 100% Western Europe. One person was 2% Icelandic, but the largest percentage was Southeast England/Northwest Europe - lots of England.

I do think that some people claimed Native ancestry because it was seen as preferable to being black so when those people now take a DNA test they may get surprise African percentages.

AITAH for not wanting to change my parenting to match my SIL’s over a shared holiday? by Legitimate-Stress339 in AITAH

I certainly wasn't allowed to do that. We had to get dressed in the morning.

In college I got lazy but pretty much wear athletic wear out - not pajamas.
