In game of thrones Maesters are always represented as wearing a large chain necklaces. Then in the season 6 finale we see this grand library with countless books, and it seems like all of them have a chain attached What's with the Maesters and their chain fetish?

Q: Which Marvel superhero has fought with the most fellow superheroes?

It seems throughout the comics there are a lot of confrontations between the "good guys", such as Thor & Iron Man in the first Avengers movie. Which "good guy/gal" character is most prone to fight with a fellow "good guy" superhero? It seems like Cap is always in the middle of something. Fight...

After Brexit Vote, Britain Asks Google: 'What Is The EU?.

Dr R Dizzle

George Osbourne, Chancellor of the Exchequer, has announced that taxes will have to rise and public spending fall thanks to us leaving the EU.

This is a nightmare scenario. Public Services are already barely getting by.

I can actually imagine the area I live in becoming the British version of Detroit. What happens when a town goes bankrupt?

user116211

@DrRDizzle: Can't UK remain associated with EU like Norway?

Dr R Dizzle

@MAFIA36790 We could, which would see us pay a higher membership cost without several of the benefits we currently enjoy while still adhering to legislation we no longer have a say in.

Other than just pretending that the referendum never happened, the UK can only be in a worse position - socially, economically, politically - than it has been.

David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Micheal Gove and Nigel Farage have done something that no one else has ever managed to do - they've broke the country.

This is going to take decades to fix, if it even can be fixed at all.

user116211

hmm.

KutuluMike

10:40

@MAFIA36790 The people in charge of the EU are also kinda pissed about this... Britain already had more autonomy, I believe, than any other member state and they still voted to leave.

unlikely the EU is going to be giving them any special treatment. More likely they're going to make an example of Britain to prevent anyone else from getting any ideas.

> Sinn Fein MEP Martina Anderson says the party respects and defends the wishes of people of the north of Ireland, but that if English votes "drag us out of Europe", that would be like "Britainnia waives the rules".

A: Which Marvel superhero has fought against the most fellow superheroes?

This is a virtually impossible question to answer. If the heroes form teams, like in Civil War, then you've got a bunch of different heroes all fighting each other and their "Fought Hero" counts are very similar. And with all the different heroes it's too difficult to figure out which one of them...

i found the guy that's never read an answer from thaddeus

also, that feels like a non-answer to me

but i'm tired

and no longer flagging non-answers.

Q: Do they really need to fear the White Walkers?

Spoilers for S06E10: Since he was created as he is by the same magic that created the Ice King, that means the Wall will stop them. What am I missing, or will the sheer volume of undead allow then to tear down the Wall and break its spell?

Romanians adopt Remainians

Ankit Sharma

@KutuluMike lol

Is it serious

KutuluMike

it appears so.

the idea appears to be recruiting romanian families to assist UK citizens in moving to Romania, getting legal alien ids, etc.

Himarm

i didnt know romania was a nice place to live

Jack B Nimble

14:18

@Himarm Lots of nice castles.

Himarm

But do YOU get a castle

user116211

@AnkitSharma Are you serious?

Jack B Nimble

@Himarm One castle per family, that's the European way.

KutuluMike

YOU get a castle and YOU get a castle and YOU get a castle. EVERYBODY gets a castle.

Ankit Sharma

user116211

Jack B Nimble

I was just going to say

> Luxury, Orgy, Fruition, Indulgence.

One of these isn't like the other.

user116211

Jack B Nimble

well, really two of them.

Ankit Sharma

14:38

Jack B Nimble

I wouldn't call fruition being the same as luxury or indulgence.

Ankit Sharma

@JackBNimble It's all of them except orgy

Jack B Nimble

I feel like behind the scenes would be on the other side of the window he is standing next. Literally behind it.

Ankit Sharma

@JackBNimble I am buying into it

Jack B Nimble

Behind the scenes footage, all shots of the actors' backs.

Oh great, now my typo is starred forever.

His left pec must be hilarious.

Ankit Sharma

@JackBNimble i can correct it if you want

Jack B Nimble

@AnkitSharma eh, it will go away soon enough.

7 different versions of Captain America to be released in various mobile and PC games.

ew.com/article/2016/06/27/…

For the 75th anniversary.

> Marvel Puzzle Quest places Peggy Carter in the Super Soldier Program instead of Steve, allowing players to utilize her top-notch combat training and the strength of Captain America.
> Marvel Future Fight will introduce fans to Sharon Rogers — highly trained in martial arts, espionage, and battling evil tyrants — as the daughter of Steve and Peggy Carter.
> Marvel Avengers Alliance introduces fans to the American Knight, a ray of hope in the Second Dark Age who was born from the aftermath of the Atomic Age and Second World War.

KutuluMike

15:00

I play one of those.

Puzzle Quest got old really fast.

AA2 is mobile-only

Avengers Alliance will probably require you to spend $50 to get the character.

outback put there cheese freis ontop of the blooming onion

KutuluMike

burger king dipped their macaroni and cheese in cheestos dust

Himarm

i should tell my wife about that mac n cheese

thats her thing, with hotdogs, and ketchup, all mixed together ug

Jack B Nimble

15:39

We put apple sauce in our Mac N Cheese. It's sweet and cheesy.

Himarm

phantom42

mac and cheese requires bacon and sriracha

also, my face.

@KutuluMike one of my wife's friends ate it and said he liked it

but i dont really trust his opinion on anything, so... yeah.

Himarm

just read this wonderful article on how being vegan is racist, i need to unsub to some stuff on reddit lol

phantom42

why? because it's too expensive?

Himarm

15:47

it encourages enviromental racism, basically yes, too expensive, lack of public transportation to healthy foods, yadda yadda,

eating meat is racist, not eating meat is racist, which one is right halp

basicly the article amounted in check your white vegan privilege

Jack B Nimble

I have pretty extreme vegan friends.

Himarm

the day i cant eat cheese any more is the day i die

Jack B Nimble

Level 5 Vegan (Lisa the tree hugger)

> I'm a level 5 vegan, I won't eat anything that casts a shadow.

Himarm

what does that leave you

lol

should i eat bacon wrapped deep fried cheese every day ? no, will i stop, never

Jack B Nimble

I'm thinking cellophane noodles probably have a low shadow level, given they are transparent.

Also, if you use soft light, you can probably get away with eating most anything.

Himarm

15:58

sounds delicioush

Jack B Nimble

@Himarm Just a type of Chinese noodle, they are good.

Jack B Nimble

16:11

What do you mean?

Himarm

atwitsendcomics.com/comics/index/1110/Eminent-Domain like this one is really funny but still has 20 sad faces

thats 20 people that need to be beat up

Jack B Nimble

Oh that, no, that is because of webcrawlers. Because they are links the crawlers hit them. Every once in a while I'll update my blocking scripts and what not to try and reduce fake clicks, but since getting married and buying a house, the webcomic has been at the lowest priority.

So realisitcally there were probably 2 likes and 0 dislikes on that comic.

One of the comics some guy wrote a script to like it over 10,000 times or something. I don't remember which one though.

Himarm

ah, thats why there usually equalish in likes and dislikes

makes sense

A: Is there any evidence in The Force Awakens towards or against Jar-Jar being Snoke?

It was announced from a producer that Binks does not appear in the film, and since Snoke does, well they must not be the same person. From theguardian.com Jar Jar Binks, the goofy amphibious character who irritated many Star Wars fans in the 1999 film The Phantom Menace, will not appear in ...

and then told me i can cant grasp how the world works

in Mos Eisley, 6 mins ago, by Rand al'Thor

@Himarm Which can easily be arranged, if someone decides the US is going to declare war on [insert country here].

KutuluMike

Our government is lucky if they manage to agree to pay themselves.

Himarm

if he said, the saidi's paid the taliban to do it, id buy it, but saying it was an inside job from the US is stretching the believable to the extreme.

oh well, maybe next time we do something stupid 70% of the british population shouldnt also think its the right thing to do and commit their army too

phantom42

@KutuluMike the government will always pay itself. it just won't pay its employees

Himarm

17:44

guess bush sure played them

/signed someone who was hit by the sequester

we were shut down for the entire shutdown in 2013, and since we were contractors, we got zero recouped pay

"luckily", i had vacation banked

i only had to go two or three days completely unpaid

Himarm

yeah i dont know how you cant get a budget passed, IL made it like 8 months with no budget this last year

i duno what the fight was even about, no one in IL does

well just have to stage a coup and over throw the government, flordia's already got the guns, and texas of course!
