Was I rude in this interaction?

I guess I'm still trying to figure out the in and outs with communication with pet owners and what is and isn't taboo.

Had a meet and greet planned with a potential sit. Then randomly I was going through all of my clients to make sure dates and times were right, then noticed at the top of hers that it said request expired. Rover sitters know that Rover does not send a notification if a client is no longer interested in a request, it was completely by chance that I was able to see she was no longer interested, but she didn't say anything so I wanted to verify.

Sent her a message, "Hey, it says request expired, can you confirm if you're no longer interested?

Her: "Yes, I no longer need the appointment, thanks for checking in."

Me: "Okay, just in the future, let someone know that you're no longer interested in planned meetings so they aren't left hanging, rover doesn't notify sitters of these things and it was by chance that I discovered yours."

Her: A cancelation a week in advance is not leaving someone hanging, and hopefully rover in the future gets a better system so it isn't discovered by "chance", and hopefully sitters give owners the chance to communicate in the future"

And I guess her last part is what makes me second guess my own part because she speaks as if she was planning to notify me and I acted too rashly but I think it's simply polite to let someone know that you're no longer interested? Why should their schedule wait until you decide if you're ready to tell them? I mean if she could decline the request then she could've let me know right 😭 I'm an autistic gal who was homeschooled, I'm still trying to figure out what's appropriate for social interactions.

Should I have mentioned anything at all? Was I rude? Too rash, idk. And I guess it's weighing on me more than it should lmao

For the person in the future who finds this because of the "Arranged marriage" vs "Find Spouse" forced menu, here is your fix.

So, the bug is that instead of being able to open the Find Spouse interaction, you're stuck on the arranged marriage interaction, forcing you to only be able to marry courtiers. You look online and people say that the bug can be fixed by resetting filters but it doesn't work, that's because the filter that causes this bug is the fertility filter which crusader kings automatically has and keeps even when you reset filters, manually take off the fertility filter and you'll get a wider selection.

Unfortunately, you'll still be stuck on the "arranged marriage" screen but removing the fertility limitation makes it act as the "Find Spouse" screen

With how many people are questioning the Larys and Aegon scene makes me think Condol is right, maybe watchers can't handle complex situations in the show

This was probably the most at face value thing to happen in that episode and everyone is acting confused or think Larys is trying to sell Aegon out?

They get found by Rhaenyra loyalist, they want Aegon to kneel, Aegon refuses, they're about to execute them for being Aegon loyalist, Larys exposes that this is Aegon, they're about to kill Aegon, Larys talks them into taking them as hostages instead. It's that simple😭 it was either die or get taken as hostages, which buys time for them to come up with a plan. I feel like I'm losing my mind at how so many people on insta or Twitter are acting like Larys gave Aegon up or confused on why Larys would rather be taken as a hostage than die.

It was that simple, looking at online takes for this show is making me feel insane. It's making me think that Condol and Hess were actually valid in how they're writing this show. Maybe they were right after all.

Wanting to tell my mom how shitty of a parent she is to get it off my chest but the risk factors are kinda high

My mom is a male centered, fuck up who shouldn't have had kids and definitely shouldn't have had as many kids as she did. Also the kind of parent to get a bunch of pets just cause the kids asked and then neglect them because she couldn't afford them, which she already knew but then still decides to add more pets.

Long list of shitty things she did.

  1. Threw a book at me because I, a 9 year old who had to take the bus, came home later than usual so she accused me of having sex despite never having interest in romance.

  2. Her husband, my stepfather attempted to kill me in a fit of rage and she was more angry at me for reporting it than him for doing it.

  3. Made me raise my 5 siblings because they both worked full time jobs but they kept deciding to have babies. Me and my siblings have a huge age difference, she just decided to be pregnant every year and I got thrown the load.

  4. Educationally neglected us because she has no idea what being a parent is and can't offer any form of disciplinez guidance. My 18 yr brother got example doesn't know how to tie his own shoes for example and my 9 year brother can't read at ANY level. He only knows basic words.

  5. Has caused the deaths of multiple animals due to purposely ignoring me on how to care for them.

  6. Refuses to feed animals because she couldn't "afford the food" or purposely let animals die without taking them to the vet because again, she couldn't afford it but plans Disney trips the same year.

  7. Favors my siblings over me, can constantly gift them whatever they want but when I actually need gas money to go to college or food, nope, had to fight teeth and nail to get everything I wanted.

So yeah, to say she is a shit mom is an understatement but recently she tried to give away the longest surviving animal in our household while I'm away at college, ya know the dog I literally did everything for because I love her so much and she's basically my therapy animal. And the causal way she asked me it, makes my blood boil, "your dog escaped and made friends with an old lady, do you still want her?" Like are you serious. I haven't talked to her in weeks and I just feel the desperate urge to just tell her how I feel. It weighs on me like an anchor but the whole family is toxic as shit and I'm always the bad guy for calling it out, so I'm not trying to deal with that or get kicked out of having a place to stay until I buy a house sooo idk if if it's worth it. I don't financially rely on her but I live with family who will definitely favor her.

Plus she's low-key mentally unstable and I'm afraid she'll shoot herself or something. Idk how to get this off my chest though, maybe just save it for the death bed right.

In Honor Of Jace for tomorrow-Pointless but needed topic. "We are never told what Sir Harwin looks like" is a lack of context clues usage.

I see this mentioned a lot when people talk about the books. Especially people who somehow.... still believe that Rhaenyra's kids are from Laenor, the delulu is there but commonly they defend it by using the excuse, "We are never told what Sir Harwin looks like" and this is false. The books do not scream it at us, but they do tell us.

​

Let's roleplay. You and I are parents at a kid's birthday, meeting other parents for the first time. You go to mingle with parents, I stay with the kids. Our son approaches me with his new friend named Gabriel, Gabriel has green eyes and red hair. Later, after meeting the parents, you come back to me and spot Gabriel. You say, "Oh he must be Danielle's son."

​

You give me no other information that could tell me why you assume he is Danielle's son, you simply looked at him. I have no idea who Danielle is or what she looks like, but I will be safe to assume from your correlation of them, that Danielle has green eyes and red hair like Gabriel does.

​

That's exactly how it is in the books, they tell us that Sir Harwin is always close to Rhaenyra and they also use the boy's looks as a reason to why they are associated with Sir Harwin specifically. Brown eyes, brown hair, stocky build, pig nose, those in the court associate them with Sir Harwin, and it's pretty easy to understand that it is because Sir Harwin looks like them.

​

This is why, "Book propaganda!!!" Is now raging in the fandom, people lacking the language arts skills necessary to figure things out without being handheld through it.

Saying that "Rhaenyra was usurped only because she was a woman" does not work in ASOIAF

I see TB mention this so much. Saying that no one cares if a man fathers a bastard, or if a man was unworthy. That the only reason Rhaenyra was judged so harshly was because she was a woman. And this would be true for IRL examples, especially examples that George based this off, but this does not work in ASOIAF.

​

We saw trueborn men get usurped or at least attempted to be usurped in one instance before Rhaenyra and multiple after Rhaenyra, for the simple reason of being unlikeable and found unworthy, nothing from a legal standpoint wrong with them. People also didn't want Egg, Aegon the unlikely on the throne despite it being his right simply because he advocated for the smallfolk. Egg needed to have a great council called for him. They were willing to put a "feeble-witted" girl and an infant son sired by Aerion, who was well hated, above him, simply because they did not like him. Aemon had to refuse as well, though he shouldn't have even been approached in the first place as legally, he should not have been able to inherit.

​

Rhaenyra actually was judged less harshly than those men. She still had majority realm support despite having obvious bastards and staying hidden away on dragonstone. She had support from Corlys and Rhaenys after being thought of having a hand in their son's death, who mind you, was a highborn dragon rider, and someone who actually could've been the heir to the iron throne during the great council.

​

A bastard was able to rise an army against a trueborn Targaryen heir. A bastard. Simply because they thought that bastard was more worthy than the heir himself. Look how many blackfyre rebellions there were.

​

Viseyna, the original conqueror, set a precedent that a true born heir could be usurped and killed, for simply being thought of as unworthy. Male or no, trueborn or no.

​

Rhaenyra was not the only heir that faced succession issues and other heirs that faced these issues, had way less political issues than Rhaenyra did and were moreso judged because of their personality.

​

If George didn't make succession crisis so common in ASOIAF then sure you can say that Rhaenyra was usurped only for being a woman, but that is not how he set this up.

​

The greens were able to boost Aegon's claim using male precedent, but that does not mean solely the war was caused by this.

​

Again, male half sibling usurped male half sibling before.

​

And male half sibling usurped male sibling after.

​

Great councils were called for a male, trueborn heir before with a daughter and an infant, wanting to be placed above him.

​

Because all children of the king, have a claim to the throne, using a reason just helps make that claim more legitimate so calling for support is easier.

Everyone sees black people saying Karmelo shouldn't have been charged with murder and calls it "tribalism" but ignores the fact that this decade has so many high profile cases of murdering innocent black people be met with a not guilty charge or lesser charges.

I keep seeing everyone saying that black people are upset that Karmelo wasn't able to get away with murder, and put that blame solely on black people, but the system and the political environment of America right now, including the crimes against black people being found not guilty in similar, if not worse situations, are why black people are upset about Karmelo.

​

There were so many unarmed, fleeing black men, women and children gunned down in very high profile cases, only for them to see the killer get off with either a not guilty plee or something like manslaughter.

​

Mind you, in the same month, a Chinese man and his son chased down and shot an unarmed black kid in the back because they thought he stole a water bottle, when he did not, despite multiple witnesses saying, the kid didn't raise a gun. He was found not guilty due to self defense.

​

In the same month, a white man opened fire at a family reunion for black people, he was not charged with a hate crime or even attempted murder, he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

​

And we've seen in the past, Kyle Rittenhouse as well, being the newest, largest high profile case of how a white person can get away with multiple murders, during a BLM protest.

​

I definitely do not support Karmelo and think his charge was justified, I also do not support people saying he shouldn't have been charged. But I keep seeing everyone so upset about black people saying he shouldn't be charged and acting like it's just tribalism when instead this is caused by the resentment and hatred of seeing white people do the same thing and get no repercussions or lesser repercussions.

​

This topic isn't as simple as "We're black and we don't want any black people to get charged with crimes"

​

This topic is, "We've been seeing you guys defend, justify and baby white people who murder, so why won't you do the same for ours"

​

That is the issue. The double standards in very high profile cases here that were found not guilty when it was black person's death, is obviously going to cause resentment when black people see that the same justification and defense isn't done for them

This is probably not even what they're going for, but why hasn't any of the characters assumed-

The characters keep repeating, "how do you save something that's already dead" referring to the children. But in almost every religion, culture, faith, whatever you call it, does have a way to "save dead things". It's one of the most common practices in every culture.

If they feel like the dead isn't resting peacefully, you give them peace in the Afterlife so they can be free.

This is done in many ways depending on what you believe in.

Either

  1. Giving them a proper burial

  2. Doing something that they didn't get to do before they died.

  3. Giving them vengeance or justice against what caused their death.

And again, considering where the story is going, I don't think it's going to be as simple as "Give them a proper burial" being the end goal but it's actually astonishing that not one character understands what a restless spirit is and that you can indeed "save them" or "free them" when it's again, the most common concept across the globe that almost everyone knows in their own separate beliefs.

It might not be what the show is going for, but I'd rather at least one character acknowledge it and it's another "false correlation" rather than every character acting oblivious to this concept while mentioning reincarnation in the same breath.

The kids suffered, they were sacrificed, that's restless Spirit rule #1

Edit: Guys, I'm not giving theories to the solution. I'm speaking from an immersion standpoint. This topic isn't a "Why don't they do this to save everyone", I'm saying that it's weird and out of character for characters from a multicultural group to never have heard of the concept of freeing the dead before. They have characters who believe in reincarnation, making golems, Scarecrows to ward off demons in the water, but they don't have one character acknowledge that yes, saving the dead is a concept and probably one of the most common ones due to humanities fear of death. That's what I'm talking about.

So much writing and fanarts of Alicent portrayed as a nun type when in the official artwork she had those tatas barely covered, a fitted dress, and she was blinged out in jewelry.

They are so afraid of you that they try to paint you as a conformed, submissive woman when you were the head of your faction and ruled the kingdom while your husband was ill.

How I love you Alicent

When the haters try to say your wife deserved better but-

You guys were crowned together jointly, you listened to her council and she supported your rule, she was one of the rare instances throughout history of a queen willingly choosing to join her husband's chambers instead of sticking to her own.

These are all huge aspects that show a healthy dynamic, and nothing in the source material hints to abuse, but it's overlooked by aspects of you cheating in a marriage you were forced to be in as a child and the million dollar fanfic that makes you think of her as an idiot who you ignore💔

They may not have been a loving couple, but they were loving siblings. Which the entire green siblings were, that was their strongest traits, how deeply bonded to and loyal they all were together despite any other faults they had, and the show completely erased that smh.

I'm so serious, I'm a hobby writer and I've been wanting to publish a story that I've been writing since covid but I was reading it over and realized how many dashes I used and how poorly it looks as dashes are now the red flag for catching AI written things. I have completely removed the dashes and opted for commas solely instead which makes it look less clean. Is anyone else dealing with this subconscious issue?
