I don't think any of us have talked about it since the finale except that it's a shame how bad it was.

It's amazing how lost the show runners were without the books and it's obvious martin's dumb rear end has no clue how to end it.

The heel turn was funny but how did people not see it coming? It was pretty obviously going to happen lol

I think the show ended roughly the way the books will, is the funny part

in West of Loathing the video game there is a cave called 'shaggy dog cave' and it's exactly this and you get to the end and wonder what you expected and why you came in here

I know Chris Hayes sucks because he knows about how bad all this poo poo is and yet still takes his paycheck but jesus christ he comes off looking a lot better than Jennifer Rubin saying that we should be actively and publicly trying to overthrow the Iranian regime while also negotiating with them

like, why the gently caress would the Iranians do that if they know the US wants to topple their government?

Thing is about these people who are incredibly stupid, but think they're brilliant and everyone else is stupid

Like that one guy in the r/relationships thread that I can't find right now who was genuinely surprised and shocked that his girlfriend caught onto him pretending to have a job and wasn't fooled by him briefly showing a cable box and saying it was a laptop.

This applies to both Rubin in particular and neoliberals in general

Jenny Durkan is very loyal to her not-wife who happens to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars (I think) although the truth is no one will ever know because Dana Garvey's finances are a secret

But you can kind of guess how much someone might be worth when they buy a $4 million dollar property with a 4000 square foot house on it, demolish the house, and then build a new larger one for about $5 million dollars. And own a $3.4 million dollar vacation house on the other side of the Sound.

Theoretically? A lot. The City Council wasted a lot of energy fighting with Durkan's veto crap. Having the person who delivered the "cut the budget of the cops in half" demand to the mayor actually be the mayor would have been huge.

Actually? None of the levers the city government has that are supposed to do good things are hooked up to anything. The modest SPD budget cut we got and change in chemical weapons policy are probably both going to be found to be in violation of the consent decree and struck down. The cops don't answer to anyone in the elected government in practice.

And even if they were able to accomplish something, I believe that if we got a defund/abolition minded city council and mayor at the same time, and they were actually effective, the cops would go fully rogue and either start outright disobeying orders and operating autonomously or they'd attempt to discredit their political enemies by fabricating evidence of false crimes against them.

gently caress of all the people Hidetaka Miyazaki had to team up with for Elden Ring is had to be GRRM gently caress it ain’t never comin out

From what I've read, GRRM just helped a bit with conceptual world building, and his role's been done for a while. I'm guessing his involvement was nothing more than a one-day meeting they held so they could legally say he was part of the development. At any rate, there was a leak of some in-game footage recently, and the game looked to be solid at this point. It was even supposedly an older build, so they're further along than the leak suggests.

Going back to the GOT-chat, the heel-turn was the single most succzone piece of media ever committed to film. It's like C-SPAM was allowed to use a massive media vehicle to show the country how facile their heroes and ideologies are, and that was the culmination.

One the one hand, I agree that (the other, just as bad) D&D didn't earn the turn by building up to it properly, but on the other hand because of the hypocrisy inherent in the liberal ideology, it would have always felt abrupt. I'd really like to imagine D&D intended it to be a slap in the face to so much of their audience, holding a mirror up to them, but at the end of the day they're just a couple of rich kids that wanted to move onto Star Wars after getting bored of their old show.

cops are upset they have to protect Lightfoot (who they hate) from protestors (who they also hate), so they're are trying to oust Lightfoot with a sex scandal?
