Yeah, even the so called reliable news sources can be wrong sometimes, and they can certainly have their biases. But at least they supposedly have an internal fact checking system in place, which is a big step up from posts on social media. To me, citing a Twitter post is essentially no different than citing a random Reddit post as an authority or factual source of information. Sure, it could be accurate, but it could also easily be complete bullshit, and I have no interest in trying to fact check a Twitter post or any other type of post on social media. It boggles my mind that so many people get their news from Twitter, Facebook, Ticktock, etc. Even the NYT and other major news sources cited a Twitter post from an alleged ex-government image analyst for his conclusions on the Israeli strike on Iran. I hate this practice, but I see it more and more often.

Sure, some protests are strategic and have planning. My "pragmatic" comment was directed at people who seem to think that there is some electoral or specific public policy that's going to change immediately. I doubt most protestors think that's going to happen. My commentary was directed at people who seem baffled or confused as to why people would be out there protesting. I am amused that people are confused by this. I stand by my statement that protests are likely to happen when conventional or pragmatic solutions fail or are ignored. For what it's worth I've spent quite a bit of time on the pavement. I went to college in DC immediately after 9/11 and was out in front of the Whitehouse at least once a week for a couple hours for a couple years.

Welcome to the wonderful (sic) world of Stark haters and trolls.

Okay, I have something in mind. Is it located in some cold place, like, at least above the Neck?

Your approach to exchange rate analysis sounds logical.

Okay, let's not fall on the language of inevitability.

Partey has barely played this season, and definitely isn't getting a new contract. Arteta tried to get rid. He is stuck with they guy. Totally unlike the moves Ten Hag was making to bring Greenwood back into the dressing room. And don't get me started on Antony. Also, Ten Hag still probably wants Greenwood back at the club. I mean, why should we assume he has changed his mind at all? And nobody is "sucking anyone off". Grow the fuck up, for fuck sake.

Per the director it has a lot of mecha-inspirations: https://www.gamesradar.com/atlas-netflix-jennifer-lopez-sci-fi-movie-brad-peyton-director-interview/ "Avatar, Aliens, Titanfall"

Yeah let's not like protests to natural disasters or libraries or cupcakes or sea monsters, I am 100% on board with that.

Not a defence. Just pointing out that Ten Hag is capable of setting a team up to be more compact but is choosing not to this season in which case he should be sacked for stubbornly sticking with a disastrous setup. Oh, and you seemed really really concerned about rapists wrt Ten Hag but busy sucking off Arteta who happily continues to play a rapist. Like I said, results trump morals.

I argued why the Freys will not all die. The Freys do not deserve to die because the Starks were guilty of breaking an oath. The demise of the family is likely if a Stark or a Baratheon were to win King Aerys Targaryen's throne. However, I do not find that likely nor desirable. Euron winning the throne will be the death of everybody. I still believe it will be Daenerys who will win the throne in the end and justice from Her Majesty will give the Freys the best hope for fairness. There is another leader who can give the Freys fair justice and that is Aegon Blackfyre. It will be more of a political move for the latter since he will require the support of powerful houses like the Freys. Aegon could offer to pardon the Freys if they succeed, and that is easily accepted because the Starks were rebelling at the time of the wedding, in exchange for economic and military assistance from Walder.

Another bald fraud from the Dutch league? Guess one is not enough! At least now there will be a competition to see who's the real Bald Dutch Fraud!

Seasoned protesters recognize the Black Bloc Anarchists among them and understand they can draw a disproportionate amount of media attention. I usually tend to land heavily on the side of the street protestors, they arent driven to action till theyve been grievously wronged in the majority of instances. The fact that a few anarchists relish getting in on the ride and are seeking publicity doesnt dissuade me from seeing the overall good from standing up to and countering the power structures and misguided decision makers that have made the conditions necessary for the protests in the first place. In other words you have to leap over a shit ton of guilty party to point out or call out the protestors in a lot of cases. They get my benefit of doubt, few bad apples aside.

What a world... Bran an 8 year old, gets thrown out a window, almost dies and is paralyzed. His family gets killed and hunted down, his castle gets sacked, he flees to the far north to escape his enemies and learn how to save humanity. Only to have people act like he is the problem and needs his trees burnt down. Whilst also being compared to the psychopathic King Joffrey. Wow

Bot-Chi - AI goes bad waiting for sequel to be greenlit.

Pretty sure that's part of the Clan stuff but I could be wrong. It's been a while. D Va does, as does Halo/Cortana, as does Into the Spider Verse and Peni Parker. There's a lot of that out there.

It's not ideal. I don't know it's the worst, but it's an engine designed and optimized around not a ton of interactivity, a ton of multiplayer/networking support and lag-tolerant, a matchmaking system, poor communication tools and a large-scale amount of state transferrence from other disconnected entities. The good parts are that it's great at rendering and keeping in scope large scales of areas and does a decent job of interior and exterior systems. The real problem is that the tooling and modifications and systems that a RPG would want - NPCs moving around regularly, location and event triggering, large amounts of objects being modified in state, in-game cutscene rendering, inventory management, a large amount of different actions and interactions with environments - are things that basically none of the other users of Frostbite want. Which means you have to branch off and hope that the core frostbite engine doesn't break all your shit.

Does Mechwarrior have the AI companion/co-pilot of the mech/exoskeletion chatting with you? I don't recall that from when I last played the games, but it's a big part of Titanfall.

Or Overwatch, or Mechwarrior, or...

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be in defence of Ten Hag or not. All you've done here is pointed out just how badly you've regressed this season, while Arteta gone the opposite way. Either way, the chaos and tactical naivety is why Ten Hag is seventh in the table, twenty-four points below Arteta at the summit.

Look, if you can't laugh at the burned and steaming corpses of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru I don't know what you're doing in life

The saying there must always be a Stark in Winterfell has an evil intent. It is not to do good things but to tend the weirwood tree in the Winterfell garden. Tend does not mean watering and spreading compost in this context. It means Starks offering sacrifices to the tree. The other saying Winter is Coming sounds like a boast similar to Hear Me Roar. It means the Starks are bringing winter, death, and darkness to the realm.

Effective if the trees are connected to each other. It sure appears that is the case. The heart tree in Winterfell was fed many human lives by its Stark caretakers for thousands of years. It is a hub and burning it would do significant damage to all the greenseers. The roots may run deep enough to enter the crypts and the kings of winter have among them in the past greenseers who have now become part of the tree.
