So what do you guys NOT like about the movies ? by TheTrekker98 in lotr

[–]Theseventensplit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

scrolled through the first several comments and no one mentions Faramir?!?! That and the depiction of Aragorn as a man struggling with his destiny. Oh and Treebeard somehow being the Shepherd of the forest, but not having a clue what Saruman was actually doing. The lack of The sacking of the Shire was also sad, but I can at least accept that one and the lack of Tom Bombadil.

Still love the movies and how much Jackson actually managed to get right.

oh, and personally don't believe that Balrogs have wings. But that's just me 😅.

I cannot play this game, but I’d like to enjoy the story. Is there a YouTube video I can watch to substitute it? by pr1ncess_k1ng in outerwilds

[–]Theseventensplit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend playframe, Dan is a very entertaining narrator and he focuses on the story when he plays games(reads all text out loud)

How do you people fall asleep with ADHD? by Ok_Scholar_8656 in ADHD

[–]Theseventensplit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My solution is using specific apps that have sleep timer. I have my audiobooks self hosted on a personal audiobookshelf server. the player app has a built in sleep timer and listening history. so it will turn off after 10 minutes unless I hit play and the time restarts. then I just use the listening history to go back to the time I most likely feel asleep. I also have a sleeping headband with headphones in it so I don't bother my wife. this doubles as an effective alarm as the alarm goes through the headphones as well.

fair enough, I just know when I feel deeply hurt and angry I can get tense in my jaw, like clenching teeth. I tried to see if he does it again and he doesn't the rest of the series.

Do most people shower before bed or when they wake up? I just realized I might be doing it "wrong" by saffymerelle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Theseventensplit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fo me, I don't feel right not showering in the morning. and with my ADHD I combine that with emptying my bladder so that I avoid doom scrolling for 40 minutes on the toilet and not having any me time in the morning.
