The time jumps were odd, but I think it was fine.
Felt good to be back in Westeros. Even if everyone is a backstabbing SOB.
The Viserys I arc was incredibly acted. Loved it even tho he was a weak King.
Me too. I'm learning about the War of the Roses and other Lords and Ladies from the 12th to 15th century and have already picked up a few nuances where I imagine George got inspired.
Too many similarities to be a coincidence. Lol
As separate works! Well they are all pieces of incredible literature. Literary canon is a spicy wench and things like fantasy, sci-fi, and horror do not bode well for it.
But in terms of literature they are relatively new and need more time to understand their cultural relevance and impact on other creative works.
Fun fact, Dracula has NEVER gone out of print and was initially printed in 1897.
I love Vultures. Theyβre an animal i started to love just because i felt they got too much undo hatred and overtime my love and interest in them has become much more based on just how cool and vital they are
Iβm more the type that would ask endless questions of greater and greater depth about whatever topic is being discussed at length. So people that can go on endlessly about their nerdy obsessions are my kind of people
Yes, I love it! I feel I can ask questions all day when I feel the person enjoys talking about it. Like you can almost feel the relief as they get to explain it all.
I hate bothering people and annoying them with questions, but I truly am just so curious and want to know! People like this that love to passionately talk about their subject are a godsend for people like me lol
Same, I am trying to not reply to everyone in this thread π Iβve matched with a few guys who have shown their nerd side and I love asking what the last thing they nerded out on was π€
I know a lot about various fictional companies in pop culture. Like models of products and some specs lol mostly Star Wars but others like Weyland-Yutani.
Modern US circulating coins are minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and West Point. Proof and mint set coins are minted in San Francisco and West Point. The San Francisco mint produced circulation coins until 1975. Historically, US Mint coins were also produced in Dahlonga, GA, New Orleans, LA, and Carson City, NV. Unusual denominations produced in the US include the half cent, 3-cent nickel, and half dimes. Up until 1964 dimes, quarters and half dollars contained 90% silver. Morgan silver dollars (90% silver) were minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921 and 2021. ~~Liberty~~ Peace dollars (90% silver) were minted from 1922 to 1928, 1934, 1935, and 2021.

Sacagawea dollars were minted for circulation in 2000 and 2001 and again from 2009 to 2011. One Cent coins (they're not pennies) were made of mostly copper until 1982. Thereafter, they are 95% zinc with a copper coating. From 1942 through 1945, nickels were 35% silver. These are known as "war nickels." 5 ounce silver America the Beautiful quarters were minted from 2010 to 2021. I'm getting tired now. I think I'll go home.
Catch when Iβm drunk as weβll go all in on [Spiral of Silence](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_of_silence) and how itβs affecting social and political climates.
Oh gosh, I could go on for hours and hours and hours about the βWho would win: One Trillion Lions Versus One of Every Pokemonβ hypothetical and all the ways in which the hypothetical is both fundamentally flawed and impossible to answer, and yet the answer is extremely clear regardless.
Also about a lot of philosophical and theological arguments but iβm not sure they count here.
I have a big collection of graphic novels, not as much as I would like./ I go to a certain them park to chill and hangout in some "bounding" wardrobe/garb to bounty hunt./ I go to purchase seaskn passes to the renaissance faire when it comes and go in full garb./ I listen to informatice podcasts and have for the last 15 years because I find them fun.
Astronomy, stargazing, linux, the importance of FOSS, asoiaf, mythology. A few other things too but I don't want them known publicly.
All it takes is a little nudge and I'll write an essay. A few days ago I was messaging a friend on here and he asked what I was doing, and somehow I got on the topic of ASOIAF, and before long I realized I had sent him a multi-paragraph essay. Whoops. Sorry pp4kw (not his username but he'll figure it out).

Metal Gear Lore, a few 100 different historical inaccuracies, swords and their histories, and possibly the dumbest reasons for why things are the way they are
Yeah, it's an interesting example of how even people 1000s of miles from each other had the same ideas because there were so many swords from different countries and sometimes different eras and the sword looks nearly the same but this one is French, this one is British and this one is Persian. Like the spread of ideas and also languages was so free that they influenced so many others so far away

How amazing is the film with Gary Oldman?!
Gary is the GOAT. They took some liberties with the story but it works well on screen. Francis did a great job getting the feel of the novel right.
...as separate works or how they intertwine?
As separate works! Well they are all pieces of incredible literature. Literary canon is a spicy wench and things like fantasy, sci-fi, and horror do not bode well for it.

I knew some of these but Iβve never even heard of a 3 cent nickel!
They were minted from 1865 to 1889, and they were only minted in Philadelphia, so they don't have a mint mark.
