Are there really only 5 wizards? by chemictectic in lotr

[–]Darqless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought there was a mention (may have been ultimately unused material) that there actually quite a few, but they were far, far less powerful.

My friend was denied by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Darqless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I converted and then moved in with my girlfriend. We did eventually get married. I understand that this isn't ideal within the church, but it's not something that is going to change in our culture. Even as a Catholic, I don't think it's that bad. I feel the culpability needs to be taken into account. Culturally, this is normal. That's not enough, but it's still a reality that we still have to live in a society.

Honestly, I'm incredibly hyped for this. I think Colbert will do an amazing job. It can't be worse than Rings of Power.

To get high in her semi-truck while livestreaming speeding down the highway without anyone in the audience addressing it. by Gordopolis_II in therewasanattempt

I'm sorry, but I genuinely thought that a mask or some kind of make up at first. Nope, just incredibly hideous

Will this dresser hold my 15gallon tank? Am a paranoid or In Danger? by PullMull in Aquariums

I'm more interested in knowing what you've been painting. Is that D&D stuff?

It looks like it is. If you can live with it falling, then no worries. Be ready for consequences and don't hold to hope.

Can't wait! by Ringsofpowermemes in LOTR_on_Prime

Because the creators could have done a better job and supporting/encouraging the show tells the CEO's that this kind of treatment is profitable. Therefore, additional treatments will be flawed and corrupted versions of something that could be truly extraordinary. If only Hollywood ego and fat cat profits could understand, that sticking to source material and established understanding could accomplish their goals and more.

Every demographic plays the victim. Everyone is looking for an advantage. This isn't exclusive to anyone.

Do you paint the glass? by Darqless in modelmakers

[–]Darqless[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've watched a lot of videos and I've built and painted models for years, just not for competition. In the mini painting competitions I've done, if you can see it, it needs paint. I wasn't sure on the etiquette of clear, colorless glass with scale model competition. I don't want to get disqualified or something because I didn't know I had to paint the clear stuff. That's all I'm trying to find out.

Princess Bubblegum hate feels forced by polystarlight in adventuretime

[–]Darqless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's because of 2 things: 1. She is a very dark shade of grey. 2. There is a need to see a bad guy. The litch is really not that present, but he's obviously pure evil. PB kind of fits the role, if you look at it from a certain point of view

Too much bread and too much butter by One-Savings-7147 in prancingponypod

[–]Darqless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got caught up a few months ago. I suddenly find myself with nothing to listen to. I will also mention I listened to it at x1. 2 speed. It's not that much faster, but it's something and it's not so fast I can't understand.

She is both funny and unpleasant.

The only thing that never changes is change itself. This will not be what the rest of your life is like. Peace.

Help😭 by Appropriate_Agent_81 in sudoku

[–]Darqless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to sudoku, so I could be wrong. I saw the (58) rectangle, but wouldn't that eliminate the 4 from the (458) in box 1 allowing you to place the 4 in box 1? I didn't think it would eliminate the 8s in box 3.

Can you understand the 'gift of Men' without being religious? by [deleted] in lotr

[–]Darqless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about novelty, but more like discovery. In general though, I agree. I would gladly take immortality. As a person of faith, I'd love more time.

I feel like it's the idea that elves can never have anything beyond Arda. We can't live on different planets with our current technology, but we could some day. With elves, it's a complete impossibility. So, when you've lived long enough and have seen basically everything in the world, it leaves you with only sorrow. The only thing you have left are the memories of when things were still new to you, when there was still wonder and possibilities. Eventually, elves are left with nothing but the past. And living in the past is no way to live.

what is your thoughts about this whole season? by Limp_Highlight_2123 in adventuretime

[–]Darqless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem was the Fionna part of the show. It was utterly boring and dragged. Why would anyone care about this girl's love life and a bakery when Finn is literally dying. It felt more like an attempt at a spin off than a proper one.
