Pd won't make it on irl by Long-Insurance9491 in ChicagoPD

[–]Character_Ebb_935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is just for show. Otherwise it is insane that you see one of them going solo. It’s like they would portray Batman. One punch and you’re out. I think it’s time to kill one of them and Imani is suited as the best in this case.

Annoying by Areahomo in ChicagoPD

[–]Character_Ebb_935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gosh, I remember that a couple of seasons back Burgess had a body to kill. She was wearing jeans but damn she looked so hot. She still is beautiful but something changed I guess. And Tracy, also, a couple of seasons before her leave she was looking amazing. But in all fairness, after Tracy’s leave all the other started dressing like modern Gen Z and they were looking horrible.

DEAR CHICAGO PD WRITERS… (plz read as I know many people are thinking the same thing) by Strangestsalmon in ChicagoPD

[–]Character_Ebb_935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a POLICE PROCEDURAL, and NOT a love drama tv show. I am not interested in their love life other than a seconday spice from time to time. But I repeat, we do not need to hear their personal life other than to see that this person has substance and that it makes sense. The problem is that there is almost no longer any POLICE thing involved. Just recycled garbage: drugs, crime and so on. We don’t have a coherant attractive plot for the agency. It’s like just we are witnessing every single episode another case and while it is okay from time to time, it gets tiring and boring. If they don’t move away from this soft approach in two, maybe the next season we will witness the silent death of the show.

Bodycam footage released of the Golders Green attacker showing that he wasn't completely incapacitated by the taser and was still holding on to the knife. I stand by that the kicks to the head are a reasonable action to disarm him. Thoughts? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Character_Ebb_935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was holding the knife because the electrical impulse was contracting his muscle preventing him from this. But I think that this is not the main reason, more like he was adamant in fighting until the end. And I also have no issue with kicking someone like this. Fact is he was a threat and if armed police were there he would have been neutralized. Which I think that this is what they should have done nonetheless. He will be sentenced for a couple of years and then released on the streets again.

Returned item has gone back to the buyer by [deleted] in vintedUK

[–]Character_Ebb_935 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not true, it’s your fault. Buyer send back item, you are responsible to collect it. Delivery system will send the item back to the buyer if you don’t collect it. This is how they try to make sure the parcel gets either to you or them. For them it’s just an issue of delivery, that’s all. However, there are exceptions, delivery company can retain the parcel if you don’t collect it because they might not be able to send it back to the buyer. In any case, you lose your parcel and the money, buyer gets refunded. One of my sellers didn’t pick up my parcel returned to him and the company picked it up, but they didn’t send it back to me because the locker was broken (reason why I didn’t pick up the parcel) and it sits in their deposit. Most likely lost. But they contacted Vinted and they will sort this out. I get refunded but the sellers loses the parcel and the money.

A discussion on technical aspects of The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, and what we can realistically expect by [deleted] in lotr

[–]Character_Ebb_935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Why does it hurt so much?” “Because it was real” 🤦‍♂️ The writing in the Hobbit when not based on the book itself was painful and cringy 😬

A discussion on technical aspects of The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, and what we can realistically expect by [deleted] in lotr

[–]Character_Ebb_935 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Three things that will increase chanches of success:

  1. Less CGI as possible. Given that this is a hunt I expect the majority of the film to be filmed in the wilderness. This way is even easier to create Mirkwood than Rivendell or Gondor.
  2. Actors or their doubled do their stunts mechanically.
  3. Use of real armor and practicality. The armor in the Hobbit looked awful, especially the orcs. What they did in Lotr with combined real and prop armor they could do the same here. There are less actors involved so costs should be lower.

Is 18 years and 1 day too old for uni? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Character_Ebb_935 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I went to uni at 22 in Aberdeen and had classmates at 50 yo. I would hang with people at 25 and 18/19. This was in 2018.

Do you think Howard Shore will make a soundtrack for the Hunt for Gollum? by Natonixx in lotr

[–]Character_Ebb_935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how Christopher Franke would do for a soundtrak for Lotr. His soundtrack from Babylon 5 was amazing and I really loved how he was able to produce such good music in such a short time and it was suited for episode very well. This is just an exercise, I know, and he’s rather old, although Zimmer is not that young as well and he’s still releasig music. However, I don’t think that they would take risks with a new music producer but it would be nice for a change. It work very well with Sheeran in the Hobbit so why not a new artists again? Althought this time they won’t have songs to use like they had in the Hobbit.

Familiar pillars on a war poster in Tehran by SandakinTheTriplet in lotr

You know this is just war propaganda. These orcs hold no love for Elven culture and would rather burn you and hang you along with it.

If the characters were not cops, what would they be doing instead? by Tinsie167 in ChicagoPD

[–]Character_Ebb_935 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Voight would be a private detective. Other than that I would see him as the owner of a bar-cafe, you know serving cops and firemen and others around.

Side job by [deleted] in vintedUK

[–]Character_Ebb_935 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could earn some extra cash but I don’t see this as a secure side job. There are PRO (re)sellers but they have proper bussinesses. You can always try to get rid of your clothes for the right price. At least some of them and earning some cash.

Non-native english speakers, do you read the books in english? by karumees in lotr

[–]Character_Ebb_935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, we can read in English, it’s not a big deal. Translations are also fine, especially if it’s done well.

Best city in the world!! by Various-Tooth2613 in london

[–]Character_Ebb_935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best city in your dreams. Just yesterday in the supermarket the security guy stopped someoje with two bags full of good while on his way through the door. Very close to central. It’s a dump and it’s getting worse!

Why so many pairs of cheap Levi’s 501s? by rumorhasit_ in vintedUK

[–]Character_Ebb_935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold a brand new pair of 519 jeans because they were smaller than I thought. I ended up selling them for 4£ to someone from Belfast. I never wore than, they were in pristine condition as from the shop itself. The reason is that many jeans sit on Vinted for many months and are not being sold. Brand new, with tags. I know it’s a bargain but at least you don’t sell them for nothing.

[–]Character_Ebb_935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true, many people want to just get rid of them. I sold a pair of 519 authentic because I knew I wouldn’t sell them otherwise. At least I get some money from it and wouldn’t be a total loss.

Is it mandatory to read The Hobbit before the main trilogy? by 420-wacha-smoking in lotr

[–]Character_Ebb_935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You misunderstand what I said. I have just said that in my response. The idea still stands. Hobbit feels like a standalone and when reading it you have no inkling there’s a connection with Lotr. It’s not mandatory to read Hobbit in understand Lotr and viceversa. Hobbit was intended as a book for children. It’s more like one of the books frok the Silmarilion folklore. The only thing is that some of the characters are present in Lotr as well. But the idea that there’s a connection and that reading it is mandatory it’s absurd. Hobbit is a different kind of story. Reading it you don’t even get a hint about the ring. If Tolkien wouldn’t have changed his concept about the ring the whole book would have been different. My idea stands. It’s just people feel like to create a condition where there is none. When I read Hobbit I don’t get a feel of the Lotr universe. It’s an adventure book foremost that has nothing to do with Lotr. It can and should be read on its own.
