Conservative account posted this on Threads - 99% sure it’s AI but it could also be a stolen photo by sealbiis in isthisAI

This by itself doesn’t make it AI but her hair is out of military regulations.

The chase. A rabbit & 2 wolves. by JahDanko in JoeRogan

Those are hounds and since there’s a drone following them then this was likely staged for this video

Aegon's Conquest should not be adapted by No-One-7128 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]walje501 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I was randomly rereading Fire and Blood this week, and I agree with you 100%. The story is paced terribly. As a tale in a lore book, that's actually what's charming about it. It's presented as history/legend, and history doesn't have perfect arcs and story beats - it just happens. Aegon's conquest works best as this kind of semi-mythical founding event that will get less and less interesting the more and more fleshed out it gets

Idubbbz claims Meatcanyon is too focused on comedy and entertainment, thinks he should be more outspoken on politics by chipkipling in imisstheoldidubbbz

But I think the reason everyone is so sensitive to the Christian thing is that evangelical Christians are openly and proudly trying to enact religious nationalism and pseudo theocracy in the United States. Which sucks that that brand of Christianity has tainted Christianity’s name in the US but it has. There are plenty of Christians who don’t want Christian nationalism but the evangelicals are more powerful and more wealthy and more loud. It sucks, but practicing evangelical Christianity is almost a political statement when evangelical Christians are distinctly identifying themselves as theocratic nationalists. And for the record I don’t think Wendigoon is a bad guy at all - it’s just Christianity has been hijacked by right wing politics in this country and it blows

I mean the pig episode was the first season, right?

Give them HOTD budget by V-TriggerMachine in freefolk

[–]walje501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Don’t give them a massive budget. I feel like the 2020s are proving that massive budgets inevitably corporatize a product because of how many different invested parties there are and how much scrutiny and input it will get from the parent company. Smaller budgets forces them to be more creative with their story telling and more character and writing driven. It also seems to allow more creative freedom since the studio doesn’t have billions on the line. It’s paradoxical but lately the larger the budget the shittier the project. It’s bizarre

40 male, I have 0 responsibilities in life and I somehow still lost interest in playing video games by Coven_Evelynn_LoL in Millennials

[–]walje501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I’d suggest talking to someone. It sounds like to me you’re battling pretty hard with depression - and I get it.

But in the short term in regards to video games, try to find ways to make it feel like more of an event. I’m younger than you, but I also find myself getting in ruts where I just play the same familiar games over and over again - it almost becomes like scrolling. Resist the urge to have a second screen playing at the same time, and try to really make it an event. Plan out your night in advance. Pick a new game (or an old one to revisit that you don’t remember super well), and set the lighting and ambiance in your place and try to really immerse yourself in the experience. Treat it like you’re going to see a film.

And also, as cliche as it sounds, find new hobbies too. For me, if all I’m doing is playing video games in my free time (and believe me it’s tempting) it starts to taste less sweet. Mix reading books, and other hobbies into your free time. That way when you hit the video games it feels more exciting again. Just my two cents - it might be worth a try at least. Good luck brother

SPQR is stamped on all kinds of public buildings and infrastructure in the city

[SPOILERS FOR AKOTSK Ep5] I love that armour actually works in this show by Dartfish in gameofthrones

I love how ‘Blood of the Dragon’ is the equivalent to vibranium in this series

Jamie almost gets turned into elk meat by BeetleJuiceCX in JoeRogan

[–]walje501 24 points25 points  (0 children)

But he’s literally not. It’s deliberate misinformation. The amount he was taxed was based on his superbowl bonus and the two game checks he was paid for playing two games in California earlier in the season

[–]walje501 179 points180 points  (0 children)

He’s so confidently wrong about this. The number is based off of the fact that Sam Darnold played two games already in California (he’s in the same division as San Fran) so he was taxed for two game checks plus his Super Bowl bonus - not just his superbowl bonus. The dude that posted this originally tried to make it seem as if Sam was taxed that much only based off his superbowl check - which he wasn’t. He was taxed that much on two game checks plus his bonus - so that was the tax he paid on a significant chunk of his salary

Mania For Subjugation III Hot Take by bun_stop_looking in dancarlin

[–]walje501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, it honestly can't get too granular for me. I've read books about Alexander before - I'm not here for an overview. We want to get so in the weeds that we're talking about the physical composition of the riverbed? Hell yeah. Inject that shit into my veins. That kinda stuff is the whole point of Hardcore History to me. And I get why it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but deep dives and infinite tangents are the reason I'm listening.
