I adore birds of prey. Watching skilled falconers exercise and handle their birds is a joy. But it’s not a hobby that you can just ‘wing’ (if you’ll pardon the unintended pun). It’s like horses - you really need to dedicate a lot of time and money to it.

Urgh. I don’t understand people’s douchebaggery. A pet is a responsibility for the duration of it’s life. It’s not a fashion item you can discard when it’s no longer popular!

He’s right, it’s not factually accurate: It’s based on sanitised and propagandised records and accounts - often 2nd or 3rd hand. The TRUTH and REALITY are actually a whole order of magnitude worse. There are vast holes in the things you are taught. Those holes exist to protect innocent minds from the true scale of the…

Africa is a pretty big fucking continent. It’s like saying someone who proposed in New York City copied someone who proposed in Washington DC.

The hypocrisy of white nationalism in America is staggering. In fact, the hypocrisy of various American factions is pretty staggering tbh.

This whole ‘Jaime in the water’ thing is pissing me off. Everyone is bleating on about how he’s sinking into an abyss.

Except she isn’t. Not TECHNICALLY. Of the 3 ‘Starks’ (because let’s be honest, we all know Jon is a Targaryen by now) at Winterfell, all of them have, at some point, renounced their names:

You may have a point about Davos. Smuggling IS a ‘criminal activity’, but that being said, ‘Smuggling’ has two sides - the greedy, criminal side, and the ‘Robin Hood’ side - oppressed poor have to resort to smuggling to avoid unreasonable levies or to keep their families alive. I’m not painting Ser Davos as a saint,…

Oh yes. I certainly think she has SOME level of authority over the other two, and I think they kind-of-sorta-mind-her-because-she’s-their-‘mother’-but-not-really. I think Drogon is the ‘leader’ of their little pack and what Drogon does, they sort of go along with. So Dany controls Drogon, and by extension Vis and…

Oh. It’s Blair Witch v2. A ‘Horror’ movie that is hyped up then turns out to be a boring ass let down.

This. Same. My migraines are generally linked to Oestrogen levels and I find I periodically vomit until I pass out. Which is usually anything from 4 to 6 hours of suffering. If it’s a ‘Cat 3' (the worst kind - I have self-categorised them 1 to 3) I suffer partial paralysis, temporary blindness and can take up to a…

Migraine Sufferer + Head injury that damaged my Trigeminal Nerve = “I WANT TO TAKE A POWER DRILL TO MY OWN SKULL”.

My only regret is that Ramsey didn’t get to play with LF....

I think mentally Arya still has a lot of growing up to do. She has honed some combat skills and become comfortable in her ‘I’m a warrior not a Lady’ niche, but in terms of personal growth, she is still pretty immature. I’m not surprised that LF would be able to manipulate Arya - she hasn’t had the same level of…

The psychology of justification is dark and full of terrors. I suspect that Jaime offed Aerys the mad because he was indiscriminately planning on basically nuking the whole city in what essentially amounted to a tantrum.

I’m not sure about that - Viseryon and Rhaegal are considerably less ‘tame’ than Drogon. I’m not 100% convinced she even has any kind of control over them. I think Drogon is the ‘Alpha’ of the pack of 3, and the other two siblings (although genetically I doubt they are ACTUAL siblings, since the eggs were rare enough…

Ah yes, I’d forgotten about his *ahem* impressive weapon ;-P

As a woman in IT, I want to say ‘Fuck his Bullshit’, but SOME of what he says is right - the idea that people are afraid to discuss ‘Hot button’ topics openly and are afraid to voice counterpoints or controversial views over fear of the backlash IS true. That being said, ‘Psychological Safety’ shouldn’t be a shield to…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I’m hungry.

I think there is definitely some post-traumatic stress in there - he transcended time and fucked up Hodor’s life then watched him die to save him. I’d say a bit of emotional anaesthetic is not entirely uncalled for.
