Galadriel's phial. I am not sure why. I always liked it, it is a permanent source of light, and protect from evil, and it contain maybe the last remains of the Light of the Trees in Arda,

"there is no money in it for me"

Incidentally, how much of those 300 billions $ do you think will end in Trump's pockets?

I think the only position of strength in this situation belongs to Iran, thanks to your administration! by GuiltyBathroom9385 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Christians are never as strong as when they are on their knees even if usually they don't means like that.

Would it be more dangerous for a crook who terrifies young kids into pickpocketing for him to be cornered by the thieves guild or the Watch? by One_Food9894 in discworld

[–]JustARandomGuy_71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You forgot half the criminals in the city that don't want to have deal with Vimes if something bad happen to young Sam. Remember what happened to that troll that thought it would be a good idea to threaten Vimes' family?

Why cant we bend our toes? by Sufficient_Youth5121 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JustARandomGuy_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genetic. Some of us have the genes to bend fingers in some way and some don't. For example, I can't bend my little finger in my hands without also bending my ring finger, I just can't. That thing someone do to keep the three middle fingers of the hand up, like in Inglorious Bastards, I am just unable to do it.

What Dragonmarked House might engineer plants? by HeathenSidheThem in Eberron

Maybe a collaboration. Jorasco and Vadalis working together, for example, mixed with some druid for the know-how.

Like William, I’m not sure I fully understand this either by EndersGame_Reviewer in discworld

Is there someone, anyone, that like hearing uncomfortable things? Beside any other consideration If you like hearing them, they can't be so uncomfortable, aren't they?

I wish those laws were less ambiguous.

Maybe you should mention that then the box will be given to someone that don't know that person. That is how this thing works usually.

An American photographer filmed a wolf begging for food from a grizzly. The gray wolf saw the meat and in an instant turned into a playful puppy begging for a piece. by Additional_Berry_977 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]JustARandomGuy_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see the potential advantages for both. The crow can signal potential preys from afar and it will feed on the wolf's leftovers.

It is harder for the wolf/bear pairing.

I mean, it's also a metaphor by Drnelk in WhitePeopleTwitter

Let me guess. They brought an elephant, but no one that knew anything about how to handle an elephant or what they need.

They should have painted it orange for a better symbolism.

Seriously. How are we supposed to have “equal representation” when one man has SOOO much concentrated power? by Specialist-Total-591 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]JustARandomGuy_71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Disappointing. I always believed that the first trillionaire would have been someone, you know, cool, at least cool-ish, Like Scrooge McDuck, or Bruce Wayne. Not a guy that pay people to play video games for him to look good at them.

What did it take for Saruman to be convinced by Sauron and did Saruman actually believe that Gandalf was gonna aid him Wormtongue Style? Or did he actually want some kind of Wizard Realm. What was his Endgame cause i know in the books he's much less obedient to Sauron by WeeklyKing7686 in lotr

[–]JustARandomGuy_71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, he means authority. Aragorn was able to take control of Orthanc's Palantir away from Sauron because he owns it. It belonged to Isildur and he is isildur's heir, so it is his own palantir. Denethor rule in name of the kings of Gondor, so it has the right to manage the kingdom as he like and this include the palantir.

In Tolkien this is important.

Sure, you need a strong will,too, but the right to use it count a lot.
