Marriage? Why, it’s the greatest weapon in any noble’s arsenal! Let me enlighten you on matters of state and power.

Marriage isn’t about love; that’s a peasant’s fantasy. For those of us who bear the weight of ancient houses, marriage is statecraft of the highest order.

When I wed the second daughter of House Tyrell, I gained three castles along the Roseroad and secured my southern border against those Dornish vipers. Her father’s bannermen now answer my call; five thousand spears when winter comes.

Marriage binds blood to blood. When your wife bears your children, you’ve created heirs that unite two powerful lineages. Should some upstart lord challenge either house, they face the combined might of both.

Consider the Lannisters and their gold. A prudent marriage there secures not just coin for your depleted coffers, but access to their formidable fleet. Or perhaps the Arryns, whose impregnable Eyrie would shield your lands from eastern invaders.

Politics shifts like quicksand, but marriage creates bonds that even the most treacherous lords hesitate to break. The realm notices when sacred vows are betrayed, and remembers.

So you ask what’s the point? Power, lands, armies, legitimacy, and the future of your house. What greater purpose exists for those of us born to rule?

Now pass the wine. These matters of dynasty have made my throat dry.

Is it the used item after a single-use, or the entire bin after several uses?

For the single-use, it actually kind of makes sense not to take it out. There are 2 possibilities when you go to the machine: it either has a used capsule, or it’s empty. If you’re the type of person that wants to throw away the used capsule each time you make a coffee, then you potentially need to throw away 2 capsules each time you make a coffee. Someone else’s when you get there, and your own after making coffee. If you never throw away your own capsule, then you guarantee that you will only ever have to throw away max one capsule when you get to the machine, and so does everyone else after you (assuming they do the same).

And if you murder everyone who leaves the capsule in, eventually the problem completely solves itself!

As for the bin, that’s a diff story, and I guess someone just needs to bite the bullet and empty it.

I understood it as power causes responsibility, and therefore, no power means no responsibility. If they’re just correlated, then there’s no way of knowing if no power is also correlated with no responsibility.

Yeah. Growth mindset, open to change, and not fixating on “our generation was the best” mentality

Depends. Correlation vs causation.

You don’t need a million dollars to do that.

Perhaps look for a company in that country that offers expat services? They may be able to bridge the gap on local customs for your situation.
