7 was the first and last version of Windows that I didn’t immediately despise.

Russia gonna finish off Ukraine any day now 🤣

Someone should tell Putin that NATO is fake so he can stop feeding people into the Ukrainian meat grinder.

Two year old account that only started popping off today. Totally legitimate behavior.

IMO they did a pretty good job foreshadowing. She was absolutely brutal in Astapor (justifiably), and was on her way in Meereen before being talked down by her advisors. This becomes a recurring theme: she wants to charge in and go scorched earth, Jorah/Varys/Tyrion/etc urge caution. And at the end, none of them were there any longer. Varys and Tyrion were rejected as traitors, Jorah, Missandei, Rhaegal, and Viserion all killed in her presence. It was just Dany, Drogon, grief, and rage at the end.

Going by the general reaction, it was probably a bit too subtle. But it’s pretty low on my list of GoT endgame sins.

what should be a multi month voyage is reduced to days

I think this is what got under my skin the most on the initial watch. Gendry just… running… all the way back to the wall, sending a raven for Dany, and her showing up for the rescue… what was that, like, 6 shots? It pulled me right out.

I kept that in mind during rewatch. What I started realizing is that the early seasons were able to cover passage of time by switching locations/storylines. There was a LOT going on in a bunch of places, and for the most part it was handled well. As the end approached, there were less locations/storylines as everything converged on the North and King’s Landing. So not only did the show lose having the books to fall back on, they also lost the ability to mask time skips. And this was not handled well at all. The result was jarring cuts and a rushed pace. I don’t think stretching the end out any further just for the sake of being longer would have been a net positive, let alone adding seasons of what would have amounted to filler. But there had to have been a better way to avoid those self inflicted faceplants.

Any parents related?

Nothin says lovin like knockin up your cousin.

Not to yuck anyone’s yum, but if he slipped on a banana peel and caved his teeth in before getting his balls flattened by a sumo wrestler in cleats while someone scraped away his tattoos with a rusty knife, I would not be upset.

Criminal charges? That would be due process. I have been informed we no longer need that protection.

It took me years to recognize how propagandized I was and how ignorant of history, politics, and law I was.

Used to be, but still are, too. Just with a different slant.

It’s been a minute since I was at a retail store for opening. But it was always the Hot Wheels guys that did the whole speed-walking to the car aisle routine. My ass was regular-walking to the action figure aisle, like a normal person.

Matchbox, actually.
