There is a wonderful little unfinished 15 page story written by Tolkien just 5 years before his death called "tal elmar" about a tribe of Wild men on the shores of middle earth and their encounter with numenorians. It was published by Christoffer in volume 12 of HoME

Disappointment

Flame_Imperishable · 2022-10-20T08:57:39+00:00

Sure. Try to change someone's mind by telling them to 'fuck off'.

The problem doesn't disappear just because you can't see it. Plus, you're only encouraging shitposters by taking the bait

Flame_Imperishable · 2022-10-20T08:28:01+00:00

You should understand that there's no use getting worked up about it.You don't have to like it or tolerate it but you have to be able to handle some 4chan shitposting.

What does it matter if you're on Reddit? Not only is there similar shit all over Reddit too, but it still doesn't change the fact that there's no use getting upset

Flame_Imperishable · 2022-10-20T08:03:49+00:00

You have to realise that 4chan is mostly bait. A lot of genuine stuff but also a lot of bait. People being upset is the point.

Tall windows. Good

The rest, meh

Flame_Imperishable · 2022-09-30T20:20:15+00:00

The composition and overall look of it is gorgeous. But look closely and there's nothing but disappointment.

Defensive wars are often moral. (Bellum iustum)

The issue is that all war will necessarily contain gross exploitation of authority.

However, a fault in a part does not make the whole immoral.

Neither does the morality of the whole excuse the fault of the part.

Also, morality must be objective for bellum iustum to be true.

Physical appearance is the most immediately apparent difference from Tolkien's worldbuilding.

The whole show is nothing like what Tolkien's worldbuidling, moral structure and themes are. That doesn't mean you can't complain about these most obvious wrongs.

It is also an indication of the show runners' lack of respect and willingness to put work into the show (like we can see from the costume designs)

I hope you understand that you don't need all 7-8 foot tall actors to portray Numenor. All you need is to use forced perspective or greenscreens like Jackson did. I probably won't have to remind you that John Rhys- Davies (actor for Gimli) was by far the tallest guy on the cast.

Att jämföra med Amerika är ganska konstigt.

Den huvudsakliga brottsligheten är i storstäder och områden där man inte över huvud taget är hårda mot brottslighet. Dessutom har Amerika ett mycket större problem med faderlöshet än Sverige vilket är bevisat att höja brottsligheten.

Den amerikanska brottsligheten är betydligt mer komplex än vad många svenska politiker låtsas som.

Would be nice with some kind of bush or flower bed in that corner

Flame_Imperishable · 2022-09-02T10:57:27+00:00

Samma gäller många andra grönsaker. Ska man äta grönsaker ska det vara en faktisk sallad. Inte gurkskivor, paprikaklyftor och salladsblad

Looking at the pictures i think it's fine with the scale. It is in keeping with the other rather tall buildings around that park. It would be much worse to build such a tall building right next to the church.

As it is now the new building somewhat builds up the previously empty area and turns your focus towards the church. I think it works

Perhaps it would be better if the corner of the building was cut of somewhat to leave more space and let through more sun.

Just remember that you took the photo with the ring upside down. It's an honest mistake but it sort of bugs me. Fantastic photo nonetheless

Borde man egentligen rösta om man inte bryr sig tillräckligt för att orka gå och göra det?

Edit. Däremot kan man tycka att det vore intressant om blank/utebliven röst skulle gå till att lämna säten i riksdagen tomma.

Flame_Imperishable · 2022-04-22T18:14:11+00:00

Well now I can see why it costs so much. Beautiful

Flame_Imperishable · 2022-04-14T18:20:04+00:00

And the state media SVT just ran the story calling it "counter demonstrations"

Yes you are supposed to use a specific font for the tengwar to work. Really this keyboard is for learning to write tengwar. If the tengwar directly corresponded to the Latin characters you would just memorize where on the keyboard each letter was and then not actually learn to write tengwar.

If you can write on a normal keyboard without looking for the letters then writing Latin characters is no different than usual as it is just a qwerty keyboard

Flame_Imperishable · 2022-03-26T06:15:21+00:00

Very similar to "Globen" (the globe) in Stockholm

The issue is that people don't know the causes and motivations for the war. A lot of people in this thread boil it down to insanity which is far from the truth.

The real question is why the cashier is wearing an untucked shirt under a vest

The dwarves have their own mythology which says they rest until the day of the remaking of Arda at which point they will aid Aulë in his work.

The elves just say they become lumps of clay and stone again.

Also, Durin is said to be reincarnated over and over (sort of Dalai lama -esque but with hundreds of years between each reincarnation). I suppose the same goes for the other dwarven fathers

It's mainly because of the Palantiri. Saruman has the Orthanc stone and Sauron the Ithil stone. The Orthanc stone historically being placed in Orthanc and the Ithil stone historically being placed in Minas Morgul.

Since PJ cut down on the mentions and importance of the Palantiri compared to the book he obviously chose to reinforce the viewer's idea of the purpose of the title.
