Look, the issue isn’t that we don’t know what Greek fire was made of - we actually do know that. The problem is that we don’t know, and may never know, the exact proportions in which the chemical substances were mixed. Any modern laboratory can create a flammable substance that burns on water, and even does it better, but no laboratory can guarantee that it is the very same Greek fire that the Byzantines used.
Да когда же, блять, это закончится?!
?
It’d be amusing if Ned brought back Greek fire. The Ironborn wouldn’t know what hit them.
English isn’t my first, second, or even third language, so I use ChatGPT to help me shape my thoughts and express myself properly.
Suppose a judge, acting according to his own moral principles and without any bribery, sentenced Firefly to be confined in Arkham Asylum. How would the Architect have reacted? Would he have killed the judge? Would he kill someone whose moral compass differs from his own?
Ah, another guy drooling over the Jedi Lords. People love to romanticize the Jedi Lords, but in truth, that era only sounds noble on paper. In reality, it marked the peak of the Jedi Order’s moral decay. During that time, Jedi fought amongst themselves, betrayed each other, and reported one another for personal gain. There were even cases of Jedi turning into smugglers and slave traders—clear violations of their supposed ideals. The Jedi were fragmented, disunited, and in many ways indistinguishable from the Sith they opposed. The conflict between the Brotherhood of Kaan and the Jedi Lords wasn’t a battle between Light and Darkness or Freedom and Tyranny—it was just political power play, nothing more.
Pretty sure Tornado is somehow related to Roach.
The system is more symbiotic than parasitic. Parasites feed on their host without giving anything in return and often cause harm. Symbiotes, on the other hand, coexist with the host, provide benefits, and survive together with it. This is a relationship based on mutual advantage, not exploitation.
Heroes in the Throne of Heroes are stripped of their freedom, trapped in endless silence until someone reaches out to summon them again. Only scattered fragments of their past lives remain — faded dreams that never quite fit together. Frozen forever at the height of their legend, they cannot grow or change, forever bound to the roles they once played. They fight for the ambitions of others, and in between, they drift aimlessly in the void, clinging to wishes that will likely never come true, endlessly waiting for their names to be called again. So yeah, there are quite a lot of downsides.
