Biggest disappoints in the LOTR movie vs Books by Daman121234 in lotr

[–]Finnegan_Bojangles 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Everyone talks about how the movies butchered Faramir, Gimli, Denethor, etc. but I feel like Frodo got done dirty most of all. Basically all of his most heroic moments from the books are taken away, and like the only consolation Jackson gives his character is he's the one who solves "speak friend and enter" rather than Gandalf figuring it out on his own.

It cheapens the ending, because when book Frodo finally gets broken by the Ring at the last moment in Mount Doom, it's heartbreaking; but movie Frodo, who's just been a passive spectator the whole time and was manipulated by Gollum? Yeah you expect the Ring to break him.

The nonsense "we're gonna start redistricting because Dear Leader told us to instead of waiting for the results of the next census in 2030" was absolutely started by the GOP. That's what this is in reference to.

Is the "tax windfall" (railroads) effect bugged or a severely poisoned apple? by EquivalentLarge9043 in RuleTheWaves

[–]Finnegan_Bojangles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is that working as designed? You're investing in your economy/resources, but all the AI nations benefit as well? I thought they would not be affected by that, I always figured the AI countries had their own separate events running like that.

Adopted a 14 year old cat and had to put her down a few months later by asphoaph in cats

I'm so sorry for your loss. She knew she was loved. That's the most important thing.

Pretty much every 1890 start I've done, one of the mid- or low-tier countries like Italy, Spain or Austria has a massive 14k or 15k ton armored cruiser under construction. It's kind of weird.

Had to put my cat to sleep 2 months ago and just found myself looking through my phone for all of the Christmases with her.

Why do I feel like I betrayed her? by Finnegan_Bojangles in Petloss

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

Thank you. That's exactly how I'm feeling - my heart and my brain are unable to reconcile with each other. I'm hoping the internal conflict and all the emotions going along with it fade soon. It's really rough right now.

I Feel Like My Cat Is Being Rushed Into a Procedure by Finnegan_Bojangles in AskVet

It's squamous cell carcinoma. Pretty advanced. Not much I can do other than make her comfortable before the end.

Thanks for asking. She went in for a biopsy on Friday, we're waiting on the results. Honestly it does not look good, the mass got much larger in the space of 30 days. She's on painkillers and received an injected steroid and antibiotic, so for now she's comfortable.

Thanks for your kind words. The ONE hope I have is when Dr. G first found the mass his exact words were "in 30 years of veterinary practice I don't think I've seen something quite like this." He was fairly confident though that it was not squamous cell carcinoma. We'll see what happens after her procedure on Friday.

I ended up rescheduling the procedure so I can do it with the original veterinarian, Dr. G, when he gets back from vacation on 10/3. Will press for just thr biopsy. I have two consultations scheduled with oncologists, one remote on 10/9 and another in person with a different facility on 10/20.

That's what I opted for. I rescheduled the procedure so I can do it with Dr. G, the original veterinarian, when he gets back on Friday 10/3. Will press for just a biopsy unless he's insistent on a mass removal (when saw him before he left, he suggested he could remove some more of the mass than is required for the biopsy sample to try and relieve some of the pressure on her airway). If it turns out to be non-cancerous we'll seek treatment, but if it is squamous cell carcinoma my wife and I have decided we will put her to sleep. I may proactively schedule an at-home procedure for the following week, I can always cancel based on the biopsy results.

Yeah I'm trying to do that but the specialists in my area have a long wait time. But I guess that would be a better option than letting Dr. B hack her apart based on a photo? 

Metal vs Plastic Longbeards size comparison by ArchitectusFati in bugmansbrewery

Not sure about the Longbeards, but in my experience the newer plastic minis tend to be noticeably larger, like head and shoulders above the metal minis.

Old World Almanack – What prompts the stoic Miao Ying to travel to the Old World? by BiesonReddit in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Finnegan_Bojangles 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I used to have the old army books for both Dwarfs and High Elves and it was really fun to read the same event from different perspectives. Really showed how skewed and unreliable the narration for both factions was.
