Every time he shows up, he brings a regal presence to him. Even in front of Hadrian's abilities, he stands as a giant. He cares so much for his duty and truly exemplifies the title of Servant of the Servants. The way he apologized to Hadrian in Ashes of Man for sending him to the Lothrians and the demise of the Red Company made my heart melt. I felt as though here was a Palantine who actually cared.

Many people might not like Old Billy 23 because of the way he handled Valka's death. But in hindsight, he was completely justified. He needed Hadrian for the mission of The Quiet, and for political reasons. "I was about to make you my son." By honouring Hadrian, he would have saved him from assassination plots. If Hadrian had accepted this role, he would have been sent to Hapsis and killed The Watchers much faster.

Currently reading Shadows Upon Time....let's see what Hadrian and Billy talk about.

Candy, chips, chocolate chicken nuggets, hot dogs and etc are examples of food that should be given the same kind of campaign of cigarettes.

These foods are known to increase the risk for colorectal cancer and contribute to metabolic issues like diabetes and obesity.

Yes, tobacco is more dangerous than these foods on moderation, but I think this should be the next tobacco. The next thing we need to purge from society.

Take away colorful packaging of these products and you'll notice that most of it is refined sugar, high sodium, oil, enriched wheat flour, high fat content and lots of chemical junk.

For the greater good of society and the survival of humanity, massive government overreach is needed in this case. So here are edicts for a

1. remove the packaging & replace with generic

2. Add a graphic obese belly on sugary or high fat items

3. Go after companies that make this stuff

4. Tax the shit out junk food

5. enforce that grocery stores add opaque covers for shelves where processed food is stored.

Oh and fast-food is not going away scot-free, we're seizing McDonald's and Restaurants Brands International as public assets.

I just bought a used PS4 Slim (500GB) from a game Store, I was told that God of War Ragnarok is best for the PS4 Pro and PS5. He mentioned that it would lag and run at a very slow frame rate at 1080p.

Should I be concerned about this? And is there anything I can do in the settings to make sure it runs smoothly?

Has anyone here played Ragnarok on the PS4 slim?

I couldn't care less whether someone decides to be an at-home wife or wants to pursue a higher calling like a career. To me, people should have the freedom to live their lives the way they want.

Tradwife content is a woman presenting her household life as idyllic and stress-free, and some people find that this perpetuates misogynistic stereotypes and that this isn't good for women to rely on the man being the sole breadwinner. Furthermore, I've noticed that some tradwifes describe hating their lifestyle because it diminishes them, and they feel sad at home

However, I have noticed that people don't have any idea of how bad things used to be for families. My grandmother was born in a small village in rural India in the 1930s with minimal education and a laborious life ahead of her. Walking miles for water and took care of 3 children in the scorching climate with no air conditioning. My grandfather also didn't have the luxury of formal education; he worked with textiles and sold clothes. He would give my grandmother 20 dozen articles of clothing that needed to be stitched, and if they weren't stitched by the end of the week, they could not feed their children. Growing up in poverty in post-partition India was full of such strife; it wasn't as easy to "go and get an education".

Forgive me for being insensitive to their feelings, but what the hell are the current women complaining about? They have a dishwasher, a laundry machine, government infrastructure all around them, and grocery stores. Why is it that the 50s wife stereotype is that she is depressed and lonely when everything is so much easier? I remember watching the movie Revolutionary Road and wondering why Kate Winslet's character feels such intense depersonalization.

And before someone says it, obviously I am against all forms of abuse. No one should be forced into a lifestyle they don't want. But this post is pointing at voluntary participants being dismayed.

I love Naughty Dog and TLOU, but my friend Jim from my accounting class doesn't think it's that great.

He says: "The story's good, but it's just a zombie survival game"

How do I convince Jim that TLOU is an awesome game, not just a Zombie survival game?

I was too cheap to get a PlayStation 5 and then because of tariffs and the RAM crisis the price of the PS5 skyrocketed.

I have a few PS4 games like Uncharted 4 and Spider Man.

Should I get a PS4 slim or save up and get the PS5?

I was expecting 8-10 hours a week based on the offer of employment but when I got hired I was only getting 4 hours a week.

$68 week is so minuscule.

I want to buy a PS4 Pro (or Slim) at a reasonable price for someone else.

What are some good video game stores you'd recommend?

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a part-time job where I can work 8-9 hrs a week while I attend classes at Brock University.

I've been applying for jobs on Indeed on campus but I can't seem to find something that fits my schedule and experience.

Edit: I'm also willing to work a 7 hour shift on the weekend.

I'm about to take COSC 2P12: Intro to Computer Architecture with Foxwell) and COSC 2P13: Intro to Operating Systems (with Bockus)

How easy are the profs this semester? What can I do to stay on top of this

August was an ass-month. September better be good, or there is no point to this platform.

Just get a PS4 Pro off Facebook Marketplace and buy games from a Pawn shop.

I'm on Demon in White, and I keep wondering if Hadrian will ever meet Crispin Marlowe. I was reading the part where Hadrian attends his victory parade after defeating the Cielcin Vayadan, and all the imperial houses are there with their banners. But House Marlowe doesn't even show up; ironically, there is a vague mention that the banners of Kephalos are there.

Crispin, Alastair and his mother Liliana are always referenced in the backdrop, but when will Hadrian actually meet them?

I know there is a short novella called The Lesser Devil, but I can't believe this series is going 7 novels without closure of the Marlowe Family. I'm wondering what Alastair would have thought of Hadrian's exaltation to Royal Knight of Victoria, and his legend as the unkillable Half-mortal, or how about Crispin meeting his older brother for the first time after getting his teeth kicked in.

Edit: Empire of Silence had Hadrian keep whining about how cruel his brother was, and every deed he did wrong reminded him how he was more alike to him.

The fact that all of YouTube is commentary is so intellectually cancerous.

If you want to play a game, there is commentary on whether you should buy it. If you want to watch a movie, someone is commenting on how woke it is. There is commentary on everything from politics to commentators themselves. A snake eating its own tail.

Watch a movie, play a game, vote all based on your opinion and life experience, not because someone told you to.

Jesus Christ, in a rational world, people on YouTube should not be able to be successful; their superficial, witty banter is not worth the content they shit out. There are very few people who are actually smart and well-versed enough to give a credible opinion. Sometimes I notice that certain individuals on YouTube get to 100K Subs and I wonder how the fuck this is even possible.

In book 1, The Atriedes family leave their home planet of Caladan which they had been at for generations after Emperor Shaddam IV gave them a new planet.

My question is: What happened to Caladan after that?

I'm thinking about opening my first TFSA account and getting into investing. However, I don't know if I should go with TD Direct Investing, TD Easy Trade or Wealthsimple.
