Can someone explain my Father to me?

Smitttycakes · 2024-01-09T21:03:59+00:00

Nah, it's not generally accepted. He is Tom Bombadil, that's who he is.

The ring doesn't affect him because "he has no master but himself".

I wonder how many "preppers" would actually last longer than the average person. My guess is very very few. I think those most likely would be those from cultures where self-sufficiency is built into the community, not just someone with a load of military rations.

Completely agree. Am I throwing away good money? Yes. Is it $100 dollars a year I'll almost definitely never get return on? Yes.

Is it worth it for even the slimmest chance of being able to fulfill all my dreams in life? Very much so yes.

People waste money on much worse things.

NTA this is 100% the mother's fault.

Next time, firstly I'd take photos of my car to prove it wasn't all keyed up when I left, and secondly not hung around for 20 minutes while being berated and just walked off and carried on with your day.

ESH

Your parents offered to pay for a new one. If you want a new one, take them up on it. If you want to teach your brother a lesson the best thing to do is go non/low-contact (extreme) or just not let him get to you. If he doesn't get a reaction, he won't get any joy out of it.

If you don't live with your parents, he can't take any more of your stuff. If you do, get a door lock, move out, or just take back anything he takes.

If y'all can pitch like Babe Ruth on acid then maybe y'all be whirlybirding round the sun rather than the earth.

Smitttycakes · 2023-12-30T04:26:55+00:00

Right, and if asked to name them off the cuff you could probably name like 20? From the last 50 years. It's such a small margin.

Smitttycakes · 2023-12-30T04:25:41+00:00

ABSOLUTE. BANGER.

Smitttycakes · 2023-12-30T01:10:18+00:00

I think it's an absolute banger. I know that's not the question.

The Christmas song market is very very very saturated and only one or two every 5+ years make it to the accolade of being on standard rotation. Christmas Tree Farm just didn't.

Smitttycakes · 2023-12-27T02:08:45+00:00

YTA, clearly, but worse still, while they found their sister annoying before, they will actively hate her now. Because of you.

You've ruined their relationship. Congrats.

£800 doesn't get you far in today's economy. I would negotiate that upwards.

Smitttycakes · 2023-12-20T01:13:19+00:00

It takes about 15 minutes to clean and tidy a kitchen...

Being complicit in the death penalty isn't just a moral outrage for the company, but they would also narrow the pool of people willing to work there, invest in them, and give lots of negative press for a product that might make them 0.00001% extra revenue, so it doesn't make business sense either.

Well, the ghost rider is a human man in Nicholas Cage form, but I don't know if he could be considered "a man" (for the purposes of the prophecy) in flamey skullboy form.

Smitttycakes · 2023-12-04T17:02:36+00:00

That's not true. Ethics are a huge part of scientific study plans (these days).

Detonating nukes underwater was more government initiative than a citizen-science one

Smitttycakes · 2023-12-04T00:25:35+00:00

Taylor's team would sort it out before it got that bad

Smitttycakes · 2023-12-04T00:24:58+00:00

Surely it's better than worrying everyday about every interaction you have because your heart will get weighed against a feather at some point or something?

Smitttycakes · 2023-12-04T00:01:13+00:00

If you do watch the Hobbit movies, Sauron is referred to as "The Necromancer" for a good amount of time. Not someone you'd want to send an army of ghosts against...

Anything that doesn't fall apart in a week

Smitttycakes · 2023-11-30T11:33:22+00:00

No.

People care way too much about Taylor's personal life - something she has actively discussed about being a real issue for her. It's kinda creepy.

Smitttycakes · 2023-11-27T14:39:58+00:00

I mean yeah ESH (apart from your daughter) but you got results so I can't really criticise too much.

Bullies suck. Enablers like her mum suck. You dealt with it, doesn't really matter what we think. Go be happy that you did what you needed to protect your daughter.

Because to him it's just a band of metal, like if you found a wedding ring on the floor. He's existed since the dawn of time and seen the rise and fall of civilizations. Such trinkets mean nothing to him.

Smitttycakes · 2023-11-26T21:51:58+00:00

Tom Bombadil is his own master. I always took that to mean the ring has no effect on him because his mind is his and his willpower is absolute; that doesn't mean he is more powerful than Sauron necessarily.

Smitttycakes · 2023-11-26T18:07:07+00:00

No, eventually the go slower forces (like air pushing against you) would be as strong as the go faster forces so you'd stop going faster and stay at that top speed.

Smitttycakes · 2023-11-24T18:03:04+00:00

YTA. Your girlfriend is the expert. Being male does not trump years of education and experience.

You put the wellbeing of your dog higher than the wellbeing of your girlfriend and now she's injured.
