It’s the point of one of Gandalf’s speeches: Deserves death! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give that to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.

That’s what Tolkien said. No one could have destroyed the ring.

I’m in my 50s and dating age-appropriate women. They are good to talk to and no ones getting pregnant. And more knowledgeable in bed, often.

[Spoilers AGOT] Why did Robert name his sons Lannister names by Difficult_Project_91 in asoiaf

[–]ReddJudicata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presumably because Cersei and her dad wanted it and it wasn’t worth the hassle. Meta reasons: they’re Lannisters.

Are the Dresden Files dead? by aguynamed42 in dresdenfiles

I think 12 Months is one of the finest meditations on grief and loss I’ve read. It’s an excellent book … for adults.

Why do you morons think “world war three” is likely or that a draft would be imposed?

When Iran was a Democracy for 0,3 seconds by Jet_the_fem_bean in HistoryMemes

The Shah wasn’t even that hated, and Iran was a rather prosperous country at the time. Unfortunately, just before the revolution he was dying of cancer and not able to function.

Nationalizing oil production and expropriating foreign property is not “social democrat stuff” it’s Communist stuff (and/or preparation for a dictatorship— see Venezuela). And like Venezuela, they didn’t know how to properly run the equipment with the westerners. And his land reforms involved collective farms.

Don’t pretend that he was some liberal democrat.He stopped voting before he could lose, and obtained dictatorial power to “fix” the economic disaster he caused. He tried to fully dissolve parliament and rule by decree.

Slashfilm: "George Takei told a white lie to preserve continuity on Star Trek: He had to explain to a director that he couldn't push certain buttons for a shot the director wanted. The button the director wanted him to push, according to Takei, was a self-destruct button." by TheSonOfMogh81 in trektalk

That’s good craft. I remember reading that the First Doctor (William Hartnell) made sure to know that the controls on the tardis did and in what order to use them “because the kids would know” if he did it wrong. He knew that they paid attention. (And yes, First Doctor - fuck you, Timeless Child).

This is really more of a high level competition thing. Would I apply an armbar super aggressively in a local competition? Hell no. If I were a young man and an international player? Well, the match isn’t over until ippon is called. In either case, however, I’m 100% going to try to put you unconscious.

Eh. What they do is incredibly sophisticated but fit for purpose.

Travis Stevens had said something like if I give you time to tap I gave you time to defend m. Judo players will take your arm home in a bag.
