I mean house prices have trippled in the last 20 years while wages increased what - 20%?
All high wage jobs are occupied with people that cling to them for dear life - so how exactly am I supposed to get a good paying job?
How am I supposed to have children if one income is no longer sufficent to support a family and as a result you have to pay abnormal sums for baby sitting and child care because both parents are working?
Imagine an overbooked airplane where all seats are occupied - no matter how much more educated, intelligent or talented you are - the seats are taken - there are no more for you. Unless you have a relative on that plane that dies and you inherit that seat - you have no chance of getting one.
Home, the high walls of Summerhall were a welcome sight after spending much time stuck in King’s Landing for the festivities. Only having left his home to satiate some curiosity, now it was fulfilled tenfold over. There was little more than a razed King and his star struck Princess left for this realm. The rest of the family was either damned by association or by poor display of Baelor’s ideals to the realm. In which his sister was made a champion in the prince's own armor, Orys now wonders how deep their connections went.
With a sigh the young Lord set to checking all his appointments for the day, Vedros has ravaged another farm and they demand recompense. But there was no proof it was even Vedros, as Orys let Redwing have free reign over his lands as well. The claims were often false anyways, a farmer killing and burning his own kin to gain some from it, a sickening yet true story they often saw in the peasant folk.
The appointments could all be deferred to an uncle or steward as they were minor, setting the scroll aside he rubbed his temples. Saera had fled the capital faster than himself, and made it hard for him to formulate his thoughts on the matter in full. What did Baelor want from them, or her for that matter, did he seek after his sister's hand in marriage? Some twisted game the mainline is playing to draw out their rebellious side? A thousand possibilities passed through his mind all at once.
“Summon my sister.” the lord's eyes were cold and deep blue, the guard would not speak but a word, knowing it was not his younger sister he sought but his twin. “And I do mean today.”
With a gulp the guard was off into the halls, the sound of further footsteps carrying off behind the man he sent. Leaving Orys again with his thoughts and an empty room. The shadow of his Grandfather was looming over the office he once resided in, his legacy weighing down on every action Orys deemed to make. He was in the spider's web now, but he was a Dragon was he not? To flap his wings would be to free himself from this meager trap, or would it?
The Lord of Storms crossed the room and poured two cups, one of wine for his sister, water for himself. Releasing his breath as he sank back into his chair, eyes locked on the door before him, fixed on some goal he could not see yet believing it lay somehow beyond that door. His sister was just a matter to handle overnight, what came after was what worried him most. The King was silent during their departure, not a word
... keep reading on reddit ➡I’ve had a lot of issues with my parents over the past few years. It stems from them not wanting to let go of me not being a child anymore (according to the family therapist we went to and I completely agree). I’ve kinda just distances myself from them but we’ve been in therapy for a little which has made some progress so I’ve been opening up more to them.
On Monday I hung out with my dad after taking his car into the shop. I offered to bring him back to the shop the next day and he said my mom could take him. I said I was free the whole day so just let me know.
The next morning (Tuesday aka yesterday) I hadn’t heard from him so I assumed he took my mom to get the car. I went to run some errands thinking I had a free day.
Later that afternoon he texted me asking if I wanted to go to the pool with him. I said I was running errands but would love to go to the pool with him tomorrow (aka today) or I could cut my errands short, go with him today, then run my errands tomorrow.
This sent him into a tizzy. He got really upset with me on the phone and I told him I don’t want to hang out with him if he’s upset so we better just postpone until tomorrow (aka today).
So it’s today and I haven’t heard from him and my mom reminded me that he was supposed to go on a day trip with one of his friends today. I texted my dad saying I forgot he had plans today and we can postpone our pool day until tomorrow (Thursday). That was 2 hours ago and he still hasn’t responded. My mom called me and said I should just go over there because we already had plans. But in my opinion we didn’t have set plans, no time or anything. And last time he talked to me he was upset so I really don’t want to just pop in over there. Also, I feel like I’m rewarding his childish behavior if I show up at his house. Now my moms mad at me because I won’t “fix it.” I feel like I may be the AH here because I am just being stubborn, but also I feel like I need to hold my own ground and stand up for myself. AITA?
It gets mugged everyday.
For me it's SH3. Imo SH3 was the peak of the Soundtracks, with SH2 and SH4 being a close 2nd and 3rd best.
