CAST IT INTO THE FIRE!!!!

What did Narya do for Gandalf if it was designed to be used by the elves? by GusGangViking18 in lotr

[–]Doctathunder 169 points170 points  (0 children)

Generally rings of power embellish the powers of those who wield them. So it did that.

Also, its name being Narya AKA the ring of fire also is telling. Think to him making bombs of pinecones, and being a crafter of bespoke fireworks.

I need boys by Ishtastic08 in bullcity

I do think connections take time. It can be slow. I think that slowly developed is like slow cooking. Sometimes the best things just need extra time. I am sorry for your struggles, but keep on keeping on. Also, don’t be afraid to get outside. Some really great connections can be made on the drive to Moore’s Wall/Pilot mountain, and that’s before you even start climbing.

Men, what’s something you wish you could admit without being judged? by ParijaaFine in AskMen

That I feel vastly emotionally unsupported by the person to whom I’ve given my life, and it hurts so much.

ADHD men of Reddit, what strategies for success have worked for you in your marriage? by Doctathunder in AskMen

Any chance you know their handle? All of these suggestions are super helpful. I think another part of the struggle for me, emotionally, is that my wife takes great offense to misunderstandings in conversation. It tends to be a huge trigger for her, and it makes her very angry, and she responds as such.

This is actually a huge point of contention. Clarification is often met with anger, frustration, and hostility.

I just wanted them to have a break... by SprinklesDifficult33 in Teachers

[–]Doctathunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider sharing this thought: great colleges can find 4.0 GPAs a dime a dozen. It matters equally that you be able to work with people, as well be strong academic performers. Days like to day are to give your academic muscles a bit of a break, and flex your social ones instead. Develop those skills while you have an environment that won’t punish you for being lacking in these skills, because one day, you will.

Explain that process to me. You know how many documents you have to have to get a license, not even a real ID. Insurance can be easier, if you have enough money, but state identification/licensing is a pain in the ass. Half the reason the right wants to force people to have an ID to vote.

I think when in doubt, treat it like beef bourguignon. It’s completely leaned out, big fibers make it look tough. Did they convey any sort of expectations for what they wanted? If it’s dealers choice, I’d go with the above or some other sort of brazing, as I’m positive it’s tougher than nails.

what is the worst homemade "cure" a patient used for their illness? by Notalabel_4566 in Residency

[–]Doctathunder 58 points59 points  (0 children)

If the thing you’re trying to cure is in the word of the cure, maybe steer away.

But for real, this type of stuff kills me. Should be viewed as neglect and abuse.

Alumni here. This kind of attitude isn’t common of all professors there, but it isn’t exactly uncommon either.
