@RAWigger "I never thought I'd die side by side with a Fed?" "What about side by side with an Indian?" "No, not that either, go away you stink."

@XJosh "When India send their people they're not sending their best-"

so are we picking 2028 based off how much they love indians? marco loves indians more than americans but vance gets shitdick from fuckin em

@Uc_heyy02 They are also inspired by Moorcock's Melniboneans, who look literally inhuman, and are even descended from a sort of lizard people and not related to humans. So leaning into the unsettling inhuman look would have been theee right choice.

HBO made the Targaryens too attractive and accidentally removed what made them unsettling in the books. The difference between these two photos says everything. One looks like descendants of an ancient dragonlord empire obsessed with blood purity and prophecy. The other just looks like beautiful people in silver wigs. Book Valyrians weren’t supposed to feel normal. GRRM describes them almost like a separate species: • silver-gold hair • purple eyes • ghostly pale features • beauty that feels eerie instead of approachable The first image actually captures that uncanny look. The purple eyes alone make them feel less human and more like the last remnants of a magical civilization that genuinely believed it was closer to gods than men. The second image feels safer. More “Hollywood attractive.” And honestly, I think that changes the entire vibe of House Targaryen. Because they were never supposed to blend in with Westerosi nobles. They were supposed to look like the last survivors of something ancient & deeply inbred Do you think the shows made the Targaryens better by humanizing them or worse by removing what made them feel almost inhuman?

@RusGarbageHuman I think the planet needs just a little global warming. Like 5 degrees?

>60C is instant death >55C in India right now Don't threaten me with a good time

@Fire_cured @reginaphilanjie I do have to deal with boomer's shitty life choices of ruining the economy with multiple consecutive crashes and importing a billion foreigners and robbing us blind with pension payments and rampant inflation caused by various compounding factors. But keep living in wonderland

@GyllstromPetri @reginaphilanjie Exactly.... with being broke🤣

My starter house was $120,000. Same exact house now is valued @ $442,000. Gas was $1.10. So no, they can’t buy that house no matter how much pbj, cheese sandwiches, or ramen they pack for lunch. Why are you all taking this so personally? Why are you denying reality?

@Fire_cured @reginaphilanjie Cope

@GyllstromPetri @reginaphilanjie Most boomers are under no such illusions but whatever helps you deal with shitty life choices that make you broke i guess, whether ageism, racism, scapegoating, deflecting or gas lighting

@romanhelmetguy I know it's a joke but I will actually buy it. There was a similar, though less famous feminist translation of Beowulf that tried to argue that calling Grendel and his mother monsters was mean and bad. Woman, he literally tore people apart and ate them.

I am going to create the first chud translation of the Odyssey. I’ll market it by saying that, because I am a chud, I understand Homer in a way that non-chuds can’t. Then when I’m called out on this, I’ll say it’s just a normal translation and my critics are chud-hating sexists.

@YoungerPope Your mention of just the Reeds makes me sad. They were harrying the Islanders so bad they wanted to believe Theon telling them to leave, because they were all sick and hounded, because the Reeds were such a threat at Moat Cailin.

Basically every house in the North is completely faceless in the adaptation. None of the five Mormont women who are fighters, no Manderlys, no branch of Karstarks that keep faith, no Mors Umber, the Reeds are just Bran’s uber north.

@UpdatingOnRome Imagine fumbling one of the most lucrative trading hubs in the world so badly that people would rather circumnavigate the globe than deal with your onion hat ass.

@HellenicEchoes I just read a travelogue from the 14th century. It extensively discusses various cultures and their foods. It explicitly says that Turks eat nothing but millet porridge with sheep or horse milk and meat if they have it. None of this obviously Mediterranean cuisine.

Turks invented feta cheese from horse milk according to this guy

@PooWorldOrderr There's no war in India or any jeet country, there's no emergency. Indians don't bring anything to the West except dirt and stink and shit. All Indians back to their own countries or execute them all. They provide nothing to anyone.

@OmarManuRod It's extremely telling that she claims "men pretend they're happier alone" This is of course projection: women feel lesser when they are not showered with attention and have to pretend that they are happy to be alone. Men just mostly are happy even if they're alone.

There is no romance in dating women.

@andros_sk_mari I literally read Ibn Battuta today and it unequivocally says that during his time (early 14th century) nomadic Turks only ate millet porridge with fermented horse's milk. They had no bread and no cuisine.

Because you know before the turkish occupied the area greeks and italians weren't eat, cookig, making meals lol we waiting doe the mongols to arrive. The word yogurt yes, the making dates back to when turks weren't even in the vacinity

@Cernovich Defending Boomers might be contrarian. But it is also stupid. And gay. You are also gay. Do better.

Do Zoomers get drafted for a meat grinder like the Vietnam War? Pay 20% mortgage rates? Lose pensions? Have entire industries like factories close down? Wait in line for gas stations due to oil shortage? Every generation has something to complain about. Life is never easy.

@StalinKilled40M @olivesnbapples Michael Moorcock invented basically everything: WH40k (Dorian Hawkmoon) Dark Fantasy (Elric) Alignments (As a moral system of a universal war between different gods/demons) Even fucking Strahd is basically a copy paste of a cursed undead captain being chased by his brother.

@olivesnbapples “Just like Lord of the Rings”

d&d at the beginning: this is just like lord of the rings d&d in the 70s for some reason: THIS IS THE DEVIL. YOURE SUMMONING DEMONS. WITCHCRAFT d&d in 2026: I'm gay and depressed this is my character he's a tiefling warlock.

@AngloVarangian It's Empire by the way, and by a WIIIIIIIIIDE margin. At least three parsecs.

The best star wars movie, I don't care what anyone says.

@Davids_12X @witchesflight "Nice argument. However I have depicted you as the drooling retard and myself as the chad." Ask basic questions about logistics, travel time and character motivations in any s5 episode and they cannot be answered, because there is no logic to any of the writing.

@GyllstromPetri @witchesflight "Objectivetly"

Genuinely one of the worst things I’ve ever seen BUT it is really funny that the showrunners wanted to do their star war and CONFEDERACY FANFICTION so they said “here damn” and gave us the worst season of tv ever made

@JayBee25101269 @travelingflying I'm not some Anti-American Europoor, America has so many things we in Europe should have. (Robust Free Speech and ability to defend yourself for instance). I think if the Founders saw the current US situation they would probably change that law to make sense.

@GyllstromPetri @travelingflying For good reason. The Founding Fathers sort of screwed the pooch on that one.

Japan is deporting children of migrants. Man with Indian parents: ”The immigration officers are telling us to go back to our parents’ home country.”
