K. You can still stop bombing to allow them to make such concessions. Indeed, history teaches us that usually helps.

Er, no. This can’t be emphasized enough. Voter fraud is not a thing. It is a lie to subvert democracy and needs to be confronted as disinformation whenever brought up. The 2020 elections were the most scrutinized in world history. And the most any auditor could come up with is around one thousand across 158 million votes nationwide. Anybody questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election deserves at least a week in stupid jail. Stop it.

We had Taco Salad for dinner and it was sampled all day long with Sweet N Tangy BBQ Doritos. I had mine with half corn chips and half crunched up Doritos. It was the yummiest thing!

Sure, but Hamas does have to make concessions too that Israel can accept. Wars don't typically end because the side that was attacked and is now kicking the other side's ass decides to go home without something more they want.

It's almost certainly true that Biden didn't have 81M legitimate votes. But we also know it's absolutely true that Trump got fewer legitimate votes than his official tally, because unlike the Biden fraudsters who seem to have been smart enough with their illegal votes not to get caught, there have been at least a handful of Trump fraudsters who were prosecuted for voting fraud.

Of course they do.

No, but they seem to have more rules (all of which make sense best I can tell).

[Insert obligatory Life of Brian video here]

I thought that it was a very good episode. Like a lot of the best Dr Who episodes it has a simple but memorable premise. I'm not sure any of it actually makes any sense, but it is effective despite that. It's a bold choice in such a short season to have an episode where the Doctor barely appears, but Millie did a great job carrying the episode. It is generally a dark episode, but the Welsh pub pranking Ruby did provide some humour. Some men just want to watch the world burn...

The sudden cold feeling effects of infrasound on the body. Remember Waymar’s droplets of blood, like half the frozen stream, didn’t freeze.

Not necessarily. These rights are often differentiated. As for education, here in the US you can legally drop out at 16. Is it different in the UK?

The irony of cutting/downsizing Nettles and Sara Snow is that one of the benefits of doing a TV adaptation spanning multiple seasons is that you get to build on less developed characters from the books. It’s a shame because it means we’re never gonna really get the opportunity to know some of these characters beyond what we’re given in the books, which isn’t much. And as GRRM has already published half a dozen iterations of the Dance, I don’t think we’ll be getting any more details from him. Whatever he wanted to share, he has.

One only needs to look directly into a mirror if they wish to see their own reflection. But Will can see Waymar from an angle. In fact, this will explain the blue eyes. The blue sapphires in the hilt of Ser Waymar Royce's longsword, when held aloft and paused, will momentarily align with the shadowy orbital sockets of his reflection.

Sure. Again, maybe stop bombing Palestinians in the meantime?

You can still join the UK military at 16? Huh, did not know that. In that case, kinda makes sense to lower the voting age to align. Here in the US, the 26th Amendment was ratified in 1971 during Vietnam because it’s absurd to ask citizens to risk their lives for their country and not have the right to vote. I suppose it’s a bit different because conscription remains at 18, but still…interesting. As for Kate and the renewed bullshit, allow me to join the chorus of shut the fuck up.

The “great rock” is down at the bottom of the slope in the clearing; not up by the sentinel tree. Remember, Will sees the “white shadow” from up in the tree.

Fucking hell mate America is fundamentally built on two of the greatest atrocities in human history, and Britain was complicit in both as well as many others.

Best FA Cup final since we won it last. Had a cheeky fiver on Kobbie to get MotM.

The rugged ridge, populated densely with vegetation, rising to a slender peak, served as an initial hint. However, due to Will's straight-on view of the ridge, the round contour of the peak is not immediately apparent. It is only when Will ceases his ascent of the tree, “he listened; he watched”, that a faint suggestion of the ridge's shape is made evident. It’s through Martin's use of some clever imagery that we can see it. Like the moon (another small hint) above undulating ridge of the caldera’s far side the crater is seemingly covered half in shadow. We have Ser Waymar Royce, dressed in all black, turning in a slow circle against the icy backdrop of a snow-covered ridge bathed in moonlight. On the Other side, “a (white) shadow emerged from the dark of the wood”. Now Will doesn’t see the “white shadow” turning in a slow circle because he’s watching Waymar in the moment that the imagery of the Yin/Yang symbol becomes complete. The undulating far side ridge gives the shadow its “s” curve. However, the clues don't end there. There's also auditory evidence to consider. There are specific sounds that Will both hears and doesn't hear. The echo that reverberates "too loudly in the twilit forest" (dead...dead...dead) may hint at the threats of a potentially active volcano and could, at the very least, suggests the presence of a nearby crater. While this clue may seem weak when isolated, when paired with the low-frequency sound waves that the rangers simultaneously perceive, it substantiates the evidence considerably. Low-frequency sound waves, or infrasound, often linked with seismic activity, have been closely connected with paranormal phenomena. This is due to the resonant frequency of the human eye and its purported interference with theta brain waves. The discovery of this phenomenon was triggered by the shivering of a sword, similar to Arya's "needle". In the Prologue, ones discovery could be brought about by Waymar's trembling longsword. This low frequency sound wave is also known as the “fear frequency” or the “brown note” which would describe “a nervous tension that came perilous close to fear” and how Will’s “bowels had turned to water”. This place is special to the CotF, who use the Wall, “great rock”, for scrying. The wordplay plays like this…. Of course if we substitute another word for (s) weeping, “crying”, we get scrying which is a form of divination using a black mirrors. You can read about Vic Tandy’s discovery of infrasound. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence that it’s like Will’s observation of Waymar’s shivering sword.

Sure, but... Family =/= government. One family benefitting for generations is not comparable to an elected official. It's a pretty ridiculous argument to compare Joe Biden, aka the dude known as the poorest guy in the Senate when he was there, to the royal family which has massively enriched themselves over centuries and does exactly nothing.

There's also no coherent plan for peace. Like it or not, the whole thing is a mess and until both sides have new leaders nothing will really get fixed.

You can't't know any history, economic or otherwise, in order to state such balderdash as fact. You seem to be even ignorant of the fact that Elizabeth I invested in the slave trade, and made pots of tin, just as she did from piracy -- er, um privateering. There is not a single institution that didn't benefit big time financially from slavery and the slave trade including what was described today here (and which, of course, anyone who knows the history of slavery, particularly British slavery in the Caribbean knows already) -- https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/25/beatings-brandings-suicides-life-on-plantations-owned-by-church-of-england-missionary-arm

*chokes on coffee* Mostly good? Really? This is what you honestly believe? What good did the British Empire ever do?
