What a wonderful world uke chords

"The way the world is made. The truth is all around you, plain to behold. ... There is ice and there is fire. ... Everywhere, opposites. Everywhere, the war."

Since a physical Wall seems to be on the side of Ice. Keeping at bay the powers of Fire.

“Thrice I flew Silverwing high above Castle Black, and thrice I tried to take her north beyond the Wall,” Alysanne wrote to Jaehaerys, “but every time she veered back south again and refused to go. Never before has she refused to take me where I wished to go.

I propose a nonphysical Wall on the side of Fire stretches between the 5 Forts and the Hightower.

There are spells woven into the stones. Dark walls that no shadow can pass—ancient, forgotten, yet still in place.

Keeping at bay the powers of Ice.

Lomas Longstrider, in his Wonders Made by Man, recounts meeting descendants of the Rhoynar in the ruins of the festival city of Chroyane who have tales of a darkness that made the Rhoyne dwindle and disappear, her waters frozen as far south as the joining of the Selhoru.

The forces of Fire seem to have pushed the forces of Ice back to their Wall and built more forts along it. It's had to say if the ones built along the Wall hold the same power. Though if the Others do attack it might be the Forts rather than the Wall that hinders them.

I kept seeing Riptide recommended as a first song to learn and I think it was a good choice. Helped me ease in and make it fun right away. I am now trying to learn Island in the Sun; the chords and chord changes are a bit harder but I like the song enough to keep going.
Any recommendations on another song I should learn that is easy to play like Riptide but makes you feel pro? Haha

I know it seems like this should be a good thing, but I hate it. I know my mom, and she is not the type of person to be kind to anyone unless there's something in it for her. I have so many feelings about all of this and have nowhere to talk about it. I don't even know if I'll be able to write everything down because my thoughts are just a huge mess.
My mom has been, well, basically a huge fucking bitch my entire life. Severe anger issues, irritated and complaining about something 95% of the time, blaming everyone else for her own faults, only caring about herself and how she feels, manipulative, gaslighting, you get the idea. She has messed me up so much more than any of the other bad things that have happened to me.
Last year, my physical symptoms got really bad and have only gotten worse. I don't have a choice but to rely on my parents for now and can't move out. Recently, my mom has been acting so much nicer to me and I can't figure out why. I know damn well it's not because she feels bad for me. I'm sure part of it is because she can go "Look at me! I'm such a good mom for taking care of my sick child!" Some of her facebook posts and the way she talks to other people confirm that. I don't think that's the only reason though. Unless she's decided to make that her entire personality, she has some other motivation. Does she not want me to move out? Is she scared that if I do, I'll cut contact with her? I would say it might be because she's scared I can't take of myself, but that doesn't seem self centered enough for her.
I know she hasn't genuinely changed. She doesn't even know what all she did wrong because she won't listen. But I'm sitting here, wondering; Where was this mom my entire life? Even if she's only doing this for herself, why does she suddenly get to decide to finally start acting like a good mom to me? And for some reason everyone thinks I'm irrational for not trusting her when every time I have in the past, it's gone terribly. She doesn't get to do that. I needed her and she not ONCE was she ever there for me because she cared. Even the times where she wasn't as bad were more about her than anyone else. Was child me just not good enough for her? I don't understand what I did wrong or what I'm doing different now. I know it's not actually about me, but it sure as hell doesn't feel that way.
I'm so fucking confused and I feel like no one understands. I just want to curl up into a ball and cry. Part of me feels like a child again. I don't know what I'm supposed to do or how I'm supposed to feel. Even when my mom isn't abusive, she still somehow manages to make my life hell.

My spouse and I are looking for a new place to rent and looked at a house in Lake Monticello the other day. Looking at past threads on here, lots of people with experience there had issues with the HOA and with water bills, and I'm wondering if the latter has gotten any better and if anyone has specific examples of the former.
I was kinda surprised by the variety of yards we saw on our drive through the community. I was expecting immaculately manicured lawns from what I had heard about the oppressive HOA, but there were plenty (including the place we looked at) that didn't seem to have grass to speak of and were just completely covered in dead leaves. Does that really fly out there? I live in town right now and feel like I'd be hearing from the city if I let my yard get like that, so is the HOA really a big deal?
I know the water company has done some upgrading lately. Has that had an effect on the bills, good or bad?

XXI APRILIS, ANNO DOMINI MDIX
The King had been ill quite frequently in the past few years; ever since Queen Elizabeth had passed, it had gotten more and more common. Physicians often shuttled in and out of Richmond Palace, to assess the King’s composition — at first, his illnesses were seasonal, or thanks to stress. Two decades of ruling a Kingdom like England wore on a man, and it showed in Henry; he was just over fifty years of age, yet looked a good decade or two older.
Illness didn’t stop the King, however. Documents were brought to him in Richmond Palace, for review and approval; his most trusted council made their residence at Richmond to be in closer proximity to him. There was too much to be done, too much to make sure went right before he could take the liberty of passing beyond. Henry had taken a Kingdom that was destroyed by war and utterly broke when he took the throne, to one with bulging coffers — and, importantly, peace. But peace was not something that lasted in its own right, without the need for further attention. Peace was a delicate flower, one that required constant sunlight, watering, and pruning — in the form of his actions, as King.
There hadn’t been another Parliament since Prince Arthur’s death; the King saw little need for one, and didn’t want to bother with the troublesome nobility. Regardless, he’d separated most of his powers necessary for day-to-day rule from Parliament; taxes were collected through his royal chamber, he had his letters close and letters patent, and the last Parliament had granted him the ability to issue proclamations of attainder, if necessary.
But, the frequent illness that plagued him became more serious; one night, a physician came in and examined him — then brought two other physicians to reexamine him. Their prognosis? Henry had consumption, the same old enemy that had taken his eldest son from him a little over a half-decade prior. That news slowed Henry down in some regards — most notably physically, as he largely remained confined to Richmond Palace for his remaining time on Earth — but only increased his vigor, to get ever more done before God would take him.
Henry’s final months were filled with one obsessive goal: to leave a realm that was stable and at peace for Joan to inherit. Though he tried his best, there was only so much he could do. Joan was just eight years old, and even though her tutors were the finest in Europe and proclaimed her to be quite the intelligent and thoughtful young girl… no eight year old could rule in their own right. Thus, a regency — but a regency brought on its own challenges. Who could be trusted with such a task as ruling a Kingdom? Could be trusted with such power, not over just England, but over his granddaughter? It is not as if a regency was the only issue; the taxation system that he’d built England’s coffers on was looking increasingly unstable as the King’s health deteriorated. Men like Edmund Dudley and Sir Richard Empson had built their careers on being ruthless and efficient in collecting their taxes, and had gained their King’s favor for that — but had also made no shortage of enemies among the nobility, merchants, peasantry… and basically everybody who wasn’t the King in the process. As the King seemed closer to the brink than ever, so was the status of Dudley and Empson — and with them, the efficient system that had kept England running for so long.
Foreigners were at the gates, too. News filtered in from across Europe of war. Of the failed crusade in Northern Africa, of war in Bavaria, of resurgent conflict in Italy, and of war across the Baltics. Diplomats had plagued the Court for months now, seeking not only help from England — but undoubtedly also viewing the succession of Joan as an opportunity. Henry had made himself clear as a financially stringent, no nonsense King… but Joan was untested and a child. Perhaps her regents would be more friendly? And of course, there were the interests of Spain, through Princess Catherine, France, through Queen Louise, and Austria, through their betrothal to Prince Henry.
There was so much to think about and so much to do, but so little time. How would things pan out?
Henry would never find out.
On the evening of April 20th, the King retreated to his private quarters at his usual hour, looking about as… well as he ever did. Which was to say, not quite well. He had a mild fever, beads of sweat on his forehead, and mild shivers in his hands, but that was quite usual by this point. When the servants came in on the morning of April 21st, the King no longer drew air. He rested peacefully, his gaze content, one hand stretching absently before him — reaching for, some would say, the many ghosts of his past that waited for him in the next life. His one love, Elizabeth. His favorite son, Arthur. His young sons and daughters that died young. His father Edmund, who’d he never met. The old familiar face of Cardinal John Morton, his oldest supporter and most trusted friend and counselor.
The King was buried in the chapel bearing his name, to spend eternity among those he’d lost far too soon.
His final act before he passed? A single letter, signed by him personally, delivered by his most trusted messenger — north, up to York Castle.
The King is dead! Long live the… Queen?
Henry’s succession was always going to be contentious. The death of Prince Arthur had left void, when it came to answering the question of succession — he left behind only a daughter, Joan. The King had two other sons, Princes Henry and John, but of the two it was only Henry who was the other candidate for succession… made ever poignant by the fact that while Joan was a eight year old child and of the female sex, Henry was a man, nearly eighteen years of age, and seemingly the picture of English manliness. Henry, quite unlike his father, was strong, loud, boisterous, and with a love for jousting and riding and all sorts of other manly activities.
Yet, the King had made it clear. Joan was his successor, not Henry.
And so it went.
The day after King Henry VII’s death, his closest councilors as well as the leaders of the English clergy gathered in Westminster Palace, to read the King’s will. It wasn’t terribly long — confirming Joan as his successor, the granting of various minor keeps and tracts of land to close family — but there was only one thing those gathered were waiting for: the regency council.
The King named seven members to his regency council. First, his mother, Lady Margaret Beaufort, who was away at her estate in Collyweston. Second, his son, Prince Henry, Duke of York, who was away in his lands up north in York. Third, Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, who was present at the reading of the will in London. Fourth, Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, away at his estates in Staffordshire. Fifth, John de Vere, Earl of Oxford, also present in London. Sixth, Cardinal William Warham, Archbishop of Canterbury, also present in London. Seventh, Christopher Bainbridge, Archbishop of York, attending to his duties in York and living out of Bishopthorpe Palace.
It was a seemingly well-thought out council. He had two of his family in Margaret and Henry; the most powerful nobles in England, to attempt to stem the tide of one of them feeling left out; and the two leaders of the Church of England, to represent the Church. Small problem: four of the members weren’t present. Margaret was nearby in Collyweston, but Buckingham, Henry, and Bainbridge were far north, attending to their duties. Only three men were present in London to form the regency council: Norfolk, Oxford, and Warham.
From London, in late April, letters were sent out across England and Ireland, proclaiming the death of King Henry VII, and the accession of Queen Joan and her regency council. Yet, even as such letters were sent, the regency was brewing its own trouble.
Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, was a man perhaps best exemplified by his political abilities. He’d supported the wrong side at Bosworth, and paid for it. Yet over twenty years, he had reentered the King’s confidence — gaining his Duchy back, other titles at court, and the King’s ear. He’d survived and thrived… and now he was on the regency.
On May 7th, 1509, Norfolk gathered the “council” in London — consisting merely of himself, Oxford, and Warham — for closed discussions. The rest of the council was still traveling to London: Margaret was a day’s ride away, Buckingham had started along the road, and Henry and Bainbridge were preparing a ship to sail from York to London. The content of the discussion remains unknown to history, except for what was recorded as the result of the meeting:

VII MAIUS, MDIX: First meeting of the Regency Council of Queen Joan. Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, declared Lord Protector of the Kingdom. Prince Henry, Duke of York, stripped of the title of Earl Marshal of England. John de Vere, Earl of Oxford, granted the title of Earl Marshal of England. Prince Henry, Duke of York, summoned to London with utmost urgency.

Claiming to act to protect the late King’s interests, Norfolk proclaimed himself Lord Protector — as well as stripped Henry of the title of Earl Marshal, granting it to Oxford. Warham’s role in discussions is unknown, and much theorized — but the most notable part was unquestionably the summons of Henry to London. The summons was issued, but with it came rumor… that Norfolk was worried about Henry. That he was too young and too brash for the council, and threatened Norfolk’s position. Rumors were abound that Henry was to have his lands reduced and his powers on the council made impotent — but they were just that, rumors.
Rumors were enough for Henry, in late May, to cease his preparations to sail south. Also in late May, Bainbridge received a strange letter from Warham warning him to “come south as soon as possible,” and to get away from Henry’s entourage for his own safety. It was one young Thomas Wolsey — a young almoner who had risen to prominence in the court at London, before making friends with Prince Henry (primarily by assisting him actually govern the lands of York, a task at which Henry had very little desire to do), and becoming the young Prince’s primary confidant — who encountered Bainbridge, read the letter, and brought news of it to Henry.
With news of the letter… Henry became worried. He’d known Norfolk for some time, in particular his skill at weaving his way back into the halls of power, and the letter sounded quite dangerous. Rumors had been enough to stop his immediate travel south; the letter was enough for him to surround himself in York Castle with guards, and to keep Bainbridge conspicuously close to him in York Castle as well.
Letters from Norfolk arrived in increasing quantities, left unread on his desk. If the Prince had read them, he would’ve noticed the increasingly annoyed, worried, and impatient tone present in Norfolk’s writing. Norfolk had planned for the rest of the council to convene and confirm his position as Lord Protector, before stripping Henry’s powers… and yet instead, Henry and Bainbridge remained north. Rumors swirled in London now, that the Prince had locked himself away in York Castle and was surrounded by armed men — or was it an army? Buckingham had refused to leave Staffordshire as well, though Norfolk knew not why, and Bainbridge too remained with Henry. Only Margaret had arrived south, the respected Queen Mother being annoyed at how Norfolk had convened the council a day before her arrival — and intended to set out, with Norfolk’s blessing, back up north, to speak to her grandson and bring an end to this nonsense.
Yet it wasn’t to be. On June 29th, 1509, just months after her son had passed away and five days after Prince Henry’s eighteenth birthday, Lady Margaret Beaufort passed away while riding north. A long life of surviving the worst of circumstances — from a pregnancy at thirteen and from living with her son as an enemy to the crown for decades, through three husbands and countless plots — Margaret Beaufort would be remember as a titan of King Henry VII’s reign. Historians for years afterward wondered a simple question: what if Margaret had made it north, and brought Norfolk’s messages to Prince Henry? It was yet another question that would remain unanswered, as the messages of reconciliation that she carried died with her on the road. She’d be buried alongside her son, in the Henry VII Lady Chapel.

THE SITUATION: JULY 1509

The situation at the start of July was tense. Prince Henry and Archbishop Christopher Bainbridge remained in York Castle, arming themselves in fear of a plot of Henry’s life. The Duke of Buckingham remained in Staffordshire, unwilling to come south. The Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Oxford, and Cardinal William Warham remained in London — forming the portion of the regency that actually ruled England at the moment.
Yet, they were not the only players. Queen Joan, importantly, remained in London… though she was kept unaware of the growing tensions, simply going about her lessons as normal. Princess Catherine, Duchess of Exeter, and now also the Queen Mother, remained in Exeter with her Spanish guards — though with news of Margaret’s passing, prepared to ride with them to London in the coming days. Dowager Queen Louise also remained in London and at court, maintaining her own circle of France-friendly courtiers, watching the situation carefully. Prince John, Duke of Cambridge, just nine years of age, remained in London alongside his younger sister — his lands ruled by regents as well.

Significant note: Please only message me if you're 21+ years old and from the U.S ONLY (due to the difference in timezones past 3 hours (PST) and I would like to hopefully meet up one day) no minors. I'm not interested in NSFW, drugs, alcohol, or talking about politics either so please don't contact me if you like those things
Heyo! Trying this again for what feels like the upteenth time (damn why does friend making online have to be so hard??) and hoping it'll go better this time! Things seem to finally be looking up for me in terms of what I do for work. I'm an online seller and have finally been making sales so I'm very happy that things are picking back up again. Since I mostly just focus on my shop, hang out with my bf, and do my own things I'd really like to be able to meet some people who want to have more deep and meaningful connections and conversations. I've grown tired of the stale, mundane messages/conversations that I constantly exchange with others on here. It gets really old constantly being asked how I am and what I'm up to in the day. I'd rather be talking about our interests, things that make us happy, things that have happened to us, etc. I am pretty selective with who I choose to chat with so if you do not receive a message from me move onto the next redditor.
I'm not one for small talk at all and if you engage in it with me do not expect me to stick around for long. I'm more of a deep/meaningful conversationalist who also loves random chats and even listening to someone vent and giving them advice. But do not take this as a chance to come into my DMs and dump loads of emotional turmoil on me as we do not know each other yet and need to build a strong foundation before getting personal with one another. I also heavily believe that it's important to be clear about our boundaries and respect one another. If either of us offends one another we need to communicate about how we feel. This also leads into me mentioning that I am an HSP and Infj personality type! I'm also a cancer in astrology if that matters to anyone. I lovs tarot, crystals, aliens, collecting too many plushies and many other things! I'd love to find a friend who wants to do more than just constantly chat. I want to be able to voice chat (obviously once we are comfortable with one another. I'm not going to instantly voice chat with anyone so don't ask me to do that), listen to Spotify together so we can both find new music, and play this lesser known battle royal game I have, and I'm also open to watching YouTube, a TV show, or movie together as well!
All in all I'm looking for some people to build friendships that aren't easily broken. Where we both feel good vibes and look forward to each other's messages, are able to be ourselves and allow the conversations to just flow naturally instead of forcing them, and to support/ be positive with one another. I'm the type of person to give back what I receive so if you aren't giving me much to work with then I'll probably be making myself pretty scarce as I do not care to stay in things that aren't adding substance to my life. I'm pretty big on sending and receiving long messages (since I'm a very detailed oriented person) so if you're also like that then that's awesome sauce! I'm also available to chat basically all throughout the day and night and really only want to befriend people who are available that often and able to make that kind of time for me and I'll do the same! I don't find it hard to answer someone and am pretty quick to respond. If you choose to message please understand that I am looking for people who actually want to put effort/quality into their messages. Anyways, if you liked this and were wondering what my other interests were feel free to check the various other posts on my page! I hope to see ya in my DMs!

I recently realised Ive been an empath my whole life, or something of the sort. I know exactly what people are feeling and can read people like a book. I was wondering if anyone can relate to having a hard time finding love? I feel like I cant just pretend to like someone and date them, I need a serious connection.

First off, me and wife are new to the Star Wars world, just about 2 months in. And we were originally watching TLOU and then went to The Mandalorian just to see more of Pedro Pascal’s work. Mando and the star wars world quickly grew in us. After completing first two seasons and seeing the ending of season 2 introducing The Book of Boba Fett, I didn’t really knows what to feel and thought who is this boba fett character and why do I need to know more about him? Is he a significant part of the story? I just want to see Grogu become a Jedi lol.
Anyway, I had to watch The Book of Boba Fett since I didn’t want to miss any part of the mandalorian story. I didn’t know who is the actor for Boba Fett so I really felt no hype diving into the series. I shamefully admit that I just decided to watch The Book of Boba Fett thinking it was just a filler for the mando story. Boy I was WRONG. This series didnt really start of strong for me but I’m the kind of watcher that watches everything. Every detail, every word, every expression. So going into around the last 3 episodes of boba fett, the hype in me was VERY STRONG. Boba might not be the most charismatic protagonist for other people - but this series really resonated with me for a lot of specific reasons.
The Book of Boba Fett for me is a story about redemption. Being down in the dirt left to die, nobody to rely on but yourself - I’ve been there at some point in my life. Having unexpected people to help you in the most difficult circumstances, people betraying you for their own self interest when you made a promise of good faith, all of these moments I can really relate to and I just cant help but feel the joy when boba stays true to his word even when all odds are against him. His redemption of his control of his life really made me emotional and inspired me to share my feelings. What do you guys think of my take on this? I hope I didnt offend anybody on my initial feelings for the show. If I need to state the obvious - I LOVE THIS SHOW.

👋 Hello
So I bought MHW from steam sale like 2 years ago. I went in raw, and experienced the start-and-quit starter pack.
I thought it was gona be a normal hack'n'slash. Picked the charging blade as my first weapon. Got beaten by the bowlcut dinos in the second mission, when every hit started bouncing off and finally drowned in the Japanese dream of having menus in submenus about menus (Just like they love wrapping every thing in 7 layers of plastic).
After taking a break to grab some water, for few years, I still couldn't drop off the feeling that I was missing on something if I didn't finish the game. So this time I builded some information before hand and even spent a mont forcing the game down the throats of my three friends.
Lo and behold, we are loving it.

But I have few more questions now after playing a while. - In terms of equipment, should we spend time getting everything? Like I love collecting and grinding, but my friends not that much. Where is the balance?

• Does this game have "transmog" system where you can change the appearance of your stuff?
  
• What are the equipment we should avoid, in terms of trying to keep it fair? Someone told me there was like catch up gear for the dlc. We missed buying the dlc from last sale, so we prolly do it after world. Also I noticed that there is this event going on, with some 🌺 and 🐝 action ❤️🤔, where you can get this event gear with the tokens. It seemed much stronger than the others.
  
• And finally how bad is it, if we don't buy the DLC straight away?
  

Woke up early to hear the birds and now I'm very tired and wondering what my other ENFPs would do on a day like this?

Anyone here living in or visiting Barcelona? I moved here about a year and a half ago from Amsterdam even though I'm originally from Los Angeles. The weather and culture brought me here, but it was quite an adjustment from Dutch-style infrastructure. It's a completely different context, of course.
Lots of new bike lanes have been put in over the past couple years; see the map here
The current mayor has made prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists a priority but has gotten some pushback from very angry car drivers even though they are a small minority of voters. The election is coming up soon so we will see how that goes.
I wonder what anyone who's been here recently or who lives here thinks of the infrastructure available in the city. For me I'm living without a car and mostly walk or cycle, sometimes taking the metro or train for longer trips across town. I'll share some opinions as well but wanted to see what others thought first.
Near me a few "superilla" calmed streets have been put in and are nearly complete. Can't wait till the construction is done!

Wondering if anyone knows if part of the new tracks is open? I can see that on the NSW DPE website it says: “while it is currently possible to walk from Wentworth Falls to Katoomba, stage 1 of the major upgrade project (Wentworth Falls to Fairmont and Gordon Falls to Scenic World) will be completed by mid-2023.”
This is confusing to me, does anyone know if there’s a map available showing which parts are now doable?
Thank you! :)

Hej, pikhoveder!
Here’s your weekly overview of Game of Throw-Ins, the only league with the guts to ask the question, “What if the English Premier League counted throw-ins instead of goals?” and the weird obsessiveness to answer it.
A few postponements this week meant that the top three teams of Manchester City, Liverpool, and Brighton & Hove Albion all had to sit patiently while games went on around them. Fulham and West Ham were caught up in that too, and they’ll both have to wait a while longer before making moves to take 3rd place away from their rivals at BHA.
The highest-ranked team to actually play a match this week was 6th-place Leeds United, who fumbled their second game in a row, allowing Wolverhampton Wanderers to break their six-game losing streak. There were absolute scenes at St. Mary’s Stadium as Tottenham Hotspur lost 17-11 to Southampton, in what could be called an upset if Spurs weren’t so consistently inconsistent. Well done to the Saints.
Manchester United and Bournemouth hold onto their placings for another week, while Brentford leapfrog Leicester City and Arsenal after bagging a 23-19 win over Leicester. Nottingham Forest makes sure to beat Newcastle United and move up a spot, while Wolves’ victory over Leeds launches them over Chelsea and Crystal Palace, and into 14th place.
Aston Villa’s 18-13 win against Bournemouth doesn’t change their placing this round, but it brings them within a single point of both Chelsea and Crystal Palace. They’ll be aiming to secure a win next week to challenge those spots - but so will Everton, who are sitting right behind them. Southampton’s victory against Spurs puts them up a spot to 19th, but that’s about it. No team has exited the bottom four since Nottingham Forest made their escape in Round 23 - will anyone else be able to follow suit? That remains to be seen.
Well, that wraps up Game of Throw-Ins for this week. The postponements make it tricky to keep track, but according to the games-played stats, my shitty little spreadsheet is up to date with the real world league. How’s your team? How are your rivals? How does it feel to have a better hobby than this? Good, I imagine.
