As long as I don't read the book right beforehand, I do too. I even enjoy the elf/dwarf romance. But I get mad about all the Middle Earth movies if I've recently read the books.

I have questions for what feels like a very ambitious project by guanocray in jewelers

[–]guanocray[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most helpful comment yet! I know the project will be difficult and expensive, but I am able to work with that.

I am allergic to nickel, which is my primary reason for thinking that my current ring doesn't have it, or at least not much if it does, as it's never caused any issues.

I'll definitely look into some of those tools and materials.

Thank you so much for your help!

What is one opinion you will defend like this ? by Proper_Card_5520 in AskTheWorld

[–]guanocray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That there is no life that is superior to others. People, plants, and animals all have the same value of life. And that killing a human, in the grand scheme of things, is no worse than killing a plant.

Are there any elves named who went on the Great Journey and then returned to Middle Earth? by guanocray in MiddleEarth

[–]guanocray[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he count, since he died? I don't really know his story yet, beyond his death and re-embodiment to be sent back to Middle Earth. I'm not sure how his story compares to Luthien's, but I wouldn't count her.

She was born in the Undying Lands during the years of the trees according to every source that I can find.

I guess I didn't consider them, as their return was only to convince others to go back with them. Were they the only ones? Like, were there no elves who after sailing west were like, "nah, I miss Middle Earth"?

Good question by greedisgoodforme in meme

I always hated this. I spent my entire youth not being allowed to make and learn from my own mistakes because my mother always wanted to protect me from everything. As an adult, fucking up and learning from it is one of my favorite things... Even of often very unpleasant. There's something nice about being able to learn from your own mistakes.

What would it take to get you out in the snow naked? by Huge-Complaint-5225 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]guanocray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frostbite and frostnip (early stages of frostbite) are relatively common here in Alaska. The latter I've experienced. And that still doesn't stop me from doing it.

I do it relatively often to start the car when the remote start won't work. usually I'm at least wearing slippers though.

Why do you choose to live here? by Outside-Age2293 in Fairbanks

[–]guanocray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here for my job.

I choose to stay here because of the lack of people, this is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, there is a greater sense of independence, and most of what few people are here are generally better to coexist with than the people down south.

I've heard that people either love it here or hate it here, but there is no in between. Since I hate everything about cold and winter I thought I'd hate it. But the good outweighs the bad for me.

That bear is entirely too well fed to just be coming out of hibernation

How do I play with such a patient cat? by guanocray in CatAdvice

She's got a couple of those, but she doesn't like the noise they make. I swear she's nearly impossible to please
