No, this won’t “happen in the books”

(nor does it make sense on the show)

Okay, after sleeping on this, I’m actually more annoyed, which is impressive, because believe me, I’m a far cry from a Stannis fan. Like, he’s fine. He’s Javert, and you see where he’s coming from, you know? But I don’t gravitate towards him.

However, let’s end once and for all the notion that “this” will happen in the books, which is what D&D assert in their “Inside the Episode.” “This,” I assume, is the burning of Shireen. A lot of people are pointing out that there’s no confirmation whether or not Stannis is involved in her burning. This is true. Where we are in the books right now, Stannis is outside of Winterfell, and Shireen is up at the Wall. So Stannis is literally not in a position to agree to burn her at the moment. It is entirely possible “this,” refers to Mel burning Shireen and acting alone.

But let’s just say, just for argument, the “this” Martin told them about does mean that Shireen is burned and Stannis consents. In D&D’s mind, that is the sum-total of a plot-point. What it looks like. And that’s the problem with all of their storytelling, especially for this past season. “Dany flies off on Drogon” must have been how they viewed the Daznik’s Pit scene (the moment in their books they claim is one of their favorites), but as I’ve articulated, that is so far from the case.

So “Shireen gets burned and Stannis consents.” IF this happens in the books (and yes, it is far from certain that he’s even involved), it will happen in a way that plays to the themes of the story, that adheres to an internal logic, and that holds true to characterizations. What do we know about Stannis in the books? That this is the man who ate shoes rather than surrendering a castle. You’re telling me this guy is going to burn his ONLY HEIR because of weather?

staff You have made it perfectly clear that this is not a place dedicated to free expression. I see porn blogs with child nudity on them, I see ISIS supporters, people who fetishize school shooters, shoplifters, drug users, self-proclaimed and admitted pedophiles, people that are openly racist towards people of a lighter complexion, and most importantly: people who tell others to kill themselves due to their political affiliations. A direct violation of the terms of service if I’m not mistaken. And you shadow ban people that come from the opposite end of the political spectrum? Just for having an opinion different than yours? Meanwhile, hello! Pedophiles and fucking terrorists are on this website too and you have the audacity to skip over that? What the fuck? So if you’re only shadow banning those whom you disagree with, one could infer that pedophilia and international human rights violations are either low on the list of prioritized problems or you simply don’t give a damn. That says a hell of a lot more about you than it does about me, or anyone else in this echo chamber of biased segregationists.

Thoughts on XXRs, Rotas, STRs etcetc?

This started with just “Industry ruining garbage” then I got a little carried away and addressed the whole replica industry.  I apologize for being long winded.  

Industry ruining garbage.  Not only are they heavy, weak, and poorly made; they’re disrespectful to the intellectual property of the manufacturers that spend extensive resources and time designing and engineering these products.  

Many of the manufacturers that “enthusiasts” claim to love & support are having trouble surviving because of their designs being immediately copied, poorly reproduced, and sold at half the price.  There was a thread on an FRS forum a month or so ago of a company that copied Greddy’s turbo kit and the Greddy name could still be seen on this other companies turbo kit.  What incentive is there for Greddy to R&D a turbo kit if someone is going to knock it off within months?  

I always hear arguments of parts being expensive or over priced.  These parts are expensive because reputable manufacturers take the time to properly design and test a product.  Additionally these manufacturers have to spend money on advertising and building a reputation.  When someone buys a part they’re not paying for just the materials to make a kit or wheel set.  You’re paying for the time and effort of professionals to develop these parts along with differences in quality that make it a superior and safe part.   

I don’t have a problem with inexpensive wheels or parts that are original designs.  There are plenty of aftermarket wheels at affordable prices that are not copies of other manufacturers work.  When I had my Turbo Miata I ran TR Motorsports C1’s because they were inexpensive, cast by Enkei easily replaceable if broken.  Every other part on the car was high quality and from a reputable manufacturer.  When I built this car I was making very little money, lived on my own, and saved what I could to buy quality used parts if I couldn’t afford the new parts. 

I personally hold quality in a high regard and have declined sponsorships from companies that copy the work of others.  There are many that will disagree with me, however most of them won’t be able to put up a better argument than “real wheels/parts are too expensive”.

Finally, many car enthusiasts state that their car is part of them or representative of who you are.  Do you want your car to say that you have pride and care about quality, or that you’re cheap and don’t care about quality or performance.

South Park has been making fun of every fucking group of people in the entire world for 18 fucking years and now that it hits close to tumblr, tiny babies start acting like tiny babies. If this episode offended you, then you are a tiny, tiny baby.

Why are you playing 3U and not 4U?

[justjasper]

male gamers like to pretend that male characters designed, drawn/rendered and written by men, made hulkishly muscular and hypermasculine by men for a deliberate target audience of men is objectification and hypersexualisation rather than actively appealing to male power fantasy

and it’s somehow women’s fault of course

[querrrrrrrbroooooo]

Then aren't thin models appealing to female fashion fantasy?
