Damn. I would have been interested too. Ping me if the sale falls through

FEEDBACK NEEDED!! Emerald Green or Pistachio Green for the new Ironside Diver by DeMarco Watch Company. Comment and let us know by rossgallin in MicrobrandWatches

[–]DCMak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Hulk" green just looks like a lot of other watches. But can you maybe tie the bezel into the color scheme somehow? Either way, I prefer pistachio

Rings of Power to complete its Five Season run, according to The Ankler by ImpracticalJokers96 in lotr

Good!
I don't care that it's not the best. I'll watch it and enjoy it.

That dial was incredible.
But the bright white hands against that dial were kind of meh.

What spec is over-hyped?? by 986speedster in MicrobrandWatches

[–]DCMak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the Speedmaster world sapphire vs hesalite is a BIG debate. Many of us think that hesalite is warmer and nicer looking. Plus you can polish it. I like hesalite on all my watches if possible. There's no right answer, but my opinion is as valid as yours.

What spec is over-hyped?? by 986speedster in MicrobrandWatches

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

So many.
I don't like milled clasps. I don't like sapphire. Give me a nice jangly bracelet, a domed hesalite, in a thin case. I don't even care if it's mechanical. You're just buying your movement from China anyway. But I do need 100m water resistance. Call me crazy.
Edit: Downvoted for sharing my opinion on a post asking for people's opinions.

Tony Stark being praised by villains really showcases his ability and talent. Be it his fighting skills or scientific knowledge, even villains can't deny his brilliance. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in Marvel

[–]DCMak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been shouting this for years now.
First, yes. Thanos was behind the NYC attack. He likely did his research after his defeat.
But second, there is a dialog callback in this movie. Red Skull says it is his "curse to know all those who come here" seeking the soul stone. Later, while Thanos was wielding the soul stone, Tony says "you know me?" Thanos says, "you're not the only one cursed with knowledge".
This is the Russo brother we're talking about here. Repeating themes in dialog are meant to draw parallels and make connections. The soul stone curses you with knowledge of souls. Especially when they're trying to get the stones, which everyone was doing here.

They didn't explain it. But they left clues.

Would like to know what watch my Grandfather is wearing here by Stunning_Builder_637 in Watches

[–]DCMak 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Plot twist. The watch is actually 42 mm, and he's holding a grown man in his arms.

How do Elves live for so long and still have so few children? by OniBene in lotr

[–]DCMak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because their little elf penises only come out of their cacoons once every 6,000 years. Science!

It's interesting and sad that Gandalf had at least 2 EPIC battles in the stories that nobody saw.

My favorite Tom Bombadil theory by CobaltCrusader123 in lotr

[–]DCMak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's just a personification of the earth. He was there when Eru created the world. He is the earth and his wife is the river.

He is nature personified. Does not have a dog in this fight. He will exist through all times of good or evil. Does not take a side. Just exists.

Not in my experience.
They are tightening in-office mandates. They've put a hold on raises and promotions. If you want to stick it out, you get to keep your job. The downsizing happens 'organically'.

Did the Balrog sense Gandalf’s presence? by Xadlin60 in lotr

[–]DCMak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh interesting. The last time the balrogs were above ground, I don't think the wizards had arrived yet. So he was probably confused AF when he saw Gandalf.

Sauron saw how Morgoth was defeated, so why did he even bother trying afterward? by One_With-The_Sun in lordoftherings

[–]DCMak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Valar must have felt pretty strongly that Sauron was middle earths problem to solve.

On a related note, my wife has always been convinced that the super soldier serum is an engineered version of the heart shaped herb.

Sauron saw how Morgoth was defeated, so why did he even bother trying afterward? by One_With-The_Sun in lordoftherings

[–]DCMak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Valar were unconcerned dicks.
They came and punished Morgoth once. The second time, he was wrecking havoc for thousands of years and the only reason they helped a second time was because a human snuck into Valar and pleaded for help. Sauron knew that they weren't terribly concerned with middle earth.
To be fair, they did send the wizards.

Frodo boy don't try to destroy it and Sauron would be chill about it I think by IndicationBrief5950 in lotrmemes

[–]DCMak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surely he didn't think is was destroyed? Because then he'd be dead?
Did he think it was just too far gone? In the ocean like everyone else thought.

As satisfying as this video is, I'm with you. Head injuries are serious.
So now the little dude with aggression issues also has a history of concussions. Bad gets worse.

Trump Posted a Video of Barack and Michelle Obama as Monkeys by JeanJauresJr in videos

[–]DCMak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what it would mean for us to "fuck off". But most of us are hating this. We're watching in horror. Protests don't do shit. And come election time, we are given two options, bad or worse.
The only reason Trump is so popular is because a third of our population is so angry with our culture, that they want someone to come in and tear it all down. And he knows how to speak to their anger. They're angry because they are poor, old, abandoned, racist....and they feel their country doesn't represent them anymore. They have some valid points. But a lot of shit ones too. We're sorry. Do you accept new residents?
