No, these strawless, non-gay, heterosexual, manly men are just like me. They were handed a spoon, but not a straw in the drive through and they decided to just drive off rather than bother or inconvenience someone, even though it wouldn't be a bother or inconvenience, it's the person's job, and they'd be happy to help. I am married though, so while I wouldn't say my wife is specifically attracted to that brand of social awkwardness, she's not entirely repulsed by it.

As a person who hates phones, I love this game. I got accepted into the beta a week or two ago and having a game that doesn't require me to touch my phone all the time is my favorite thing.
The only thing that would make it better is integration with other smart device step counters. Being able to play (more like progress I guess) a phone game while not even carrying my phone would be hilarious. I am sure you're getting hounded by people about this non-stop.
One of the things that Game of Thrones did well early was always ensure the payoff was worth it. If you didn't like an episode here or there, it was fine because it advanced the plot enough that you still followed the breadcrumbs and another episode down the line made it worth it.
Season 8 was so bad because many people tolerated elements of seasons 5, 6, and 7 because they were hoping for payoff. When that payoff was underwhelming at best and utterly nonsensical at worst, people tuned out fast. People spent hundreds of hours over a decade watching the show and discussing it with their friends, and in the end, it wasn't worth it. I don't think I've ever seen something disappear so completely and quickly from the cultural zeitgeist.

Planning is only as good as the planner. Sometimes you still end up giving a press conference at the wrong Four Seasons.
Getting a little addicted to video games is normal, even for men in their 30s. What's not normal is peeing on prostitutes in a bed Obama slept in.
I don't they were holding back. Hitler isn't particularly known for his restraint. It was just more rudimentary technology. There were only around 2000ish planes on either side, and they weren't committing everything every day. The planes were smaller, the bombs weren't as destructive, and targeting was pretty basic. They absolutely did tons of damage, but it took months.
Carrying out a similar engagement today would level a city in hours, maybe days.

I don't think many people rejected the conclusion outright, just the path of getting there. So much of the last season was totally nonsensical. Dothraki ride off into the darkness and get obliterated by zombies; next episode, they're back! Everyone forgets about the Iron Fleet. Jamie ditches a 7 season character arc in a second. Arya subverts expectations and undermines the existential threat in an instant. The all-seeing, all-knowing Bran serves no purpose except to have "the best story" somehow. Dany heel turns from saving the world to destroying it on a whim.
Most of Game of Thrones, books and show, is predicated on causality. Things happen for a reason. And they happen realistically, not necessarily in the way we want. It was a breathe of fresh air in the beginning. Honor isn't rewarded for honor's sake. Strength is a tool, but a slippery slope. Travel takes time. When that realism is thrown out to force plot, it undermines the entire show.
So it's not necessarily the ending that was bad, it was how it got there.
No, no, the thought is "They're just a liberal crisis actor trying to take away the one thing that makes me feel cool and powerful because my life is a heap of dogshit," then they pray for you to go to hell. Easy!
