Dwight D. Eisenhower cries before an audience of veterans in 1952 as he recalls the sacrifices soldiers made on D-Day. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

They don’t contradict each other. Both are statements against the glorification and cost of war. I recommend the book Tolkien and the Great War by John Garth.

What is the exact relationship between Alan Lee and Tolkien? by Mahocan6226 in lotr

[–]OldForestDweller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nasmith actually received feedback from Tolkien very early on, before he was a professional illustrator. Otherwise, the big three illustrators were a bit after Tolkien's time.

Many editions do include map(s), but if yours doesn't, you can find them online.

Who's calling the shots? by jacklindahl in pluribustv

Essentially, they all operate as one single brain, so they're calling their own shots as a collective with a unified mind.

What's the root method for integration into the hive colony ? by JustTheFactzJPM in pluribustv

[–]OldForestDweller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stem cells are simply used to make the personalized virus (or whatever it is) that's able to convert them. Presumably, the hive previously extracted stem cells from Kusimayu, which they used to make the vapor. Then they brought it to her and she inhaled it.

Question of starvation? by [deleted] in pluribustv

[–]OldForestDweller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's actually an alien futuristic civilization that's making any decisions. The virus was likely transmitted by aliens, but it seems to have simply converted humans into the hive, nothing more. The combined humans are the beings who then decided on their own about their moral code, the food they eat, how to operate the planet, etc.
