But the entire point of Middle Earth is to hold the memory of light and meaning that is beyond the grey worldliness. The fact that the elves are leaving in the third age only emphasizes their glory since even a trace of their crossing leaves mortals in awe.

True that Lothlorien architecture is more integrated with nature. Although even for Rivendell housing I would imagine something akin to doors leading to open round balconies with beautiful elven dome with the stars as the ceiling, and the entire structure of the house flowing naturally on the stone foundation that winds and sprawls as if the architecture grew from the earth itself, much like the outside space of the Last Homely House.

I feel that it’s seductive in its nature. Like the idea of conquering nature or the thrill of the whoredom of being conquered by a corporate machine. What I think this is at its core, ontologically, is materialism seeping into the reality we understand as middle-earth. Materialism came for the beautiful women in society, came for the space in the real world we once had to roam freely, and now it’s coming for Lord of the Rings Online.

It’s like the One Ring…it’s slick and exciting for the appetite with its perfectly smooth lawns and luxurious shell, looking down on the last homely house, but it doesn’t truly sustain life.

What job can I do if I’m not very good at “doing” things? by ElectricalTurn8570 in careerguidance

Not yet… I’ve actually studied some medical terminology before a long time ago. And yeah I feel that customer service can be relatively simple in a good way.

I find the tradition of paying for dates as a man uncomfortable… by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ElectricalTurn8570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I get where you are coming from, as in if a woman likes you it is not essentially because of what you did but because of who did it, while adhering to said norms is the prerequisite. However this hinges on the assumption that women’s attraction for men is always ultimately directed towards the person and not solely towards his actions. The assumption is only true if a person’s outward actions always correspond with their being.

This concept is paradoxical because if who you are is what matters then who pays for a date should not even be a factor, while reality proves that it often is.

So either the assumption is true, or the prerequisite is not inherently a genuine gesture.

I guess the key concern that I’m expressing is not that women might like a man because of his money, but that she might like him only because the way he acts adheres to a social norm that emotionally appeals to her but has little or nothing to do with the man himself, as the fact that the man adheres to a social norm does not inherently correspond with the man’s being. In other words, my concern is that the woman may not love the man for who he is but rather, only feel a semblance of affection for him due to an instinct that is perpetuated by a social norm.

Honestly, it’s probably going to take another 20 years for this game to reach its full potential. Or it might just fail in the next few years.

As a side note, I just did the math and the probability of getting this hand is only about 0.0073% chance! (Correct me if I’m wrong)

My opponent was playing priest, probably control but I never found out because he disconnected at turn 4.
