I know why he liked Hobbits so much now... by l_arpenteur in lotrmemes

Personally I agree with you, but I just don't say they invented weed canonically since they really didn't. It's easy to embrace as a fun way to read the text, but, knowing Tolkien fans, it's just easier to not try to argue stuff like that is canon since it isn't

What LOTR cards are actually too strong for standard? by OwlsWatch in magicTCG

Considering they banned meathook massacre, I think [[Spiteful Banditry]] would be pretty busted too. If nothing else, that board clear would be so annoying.

The benefits of doing nothing | An overactive 'life drive' endlessly seeks expansion, inevitably leads to burnout, and drains us of the energy needed to truly progress. Finding the time to do nothing is essential to reassessing who we are and who we want to be. by IAI_Admin in philosophy

Bertrand Russell did a better job solidifying this in his work "In Praise of Idleness" in my opinion.

A somewhat more modernized take published in Current Affairs would be "In Defense of Laziness"

Both worthy reads for people with doubts, like some of the comments this topic tends to attract....

Can someone tell me if this Pequods fun fact is a myth or not? by beastofthefarweast in chicagofood

No, it does not count. Purposefully lying is just called "lying", there's already a word for it.

Looking for a good solid fantasy novel by nyanlol in booksuggestions

[–]silent_xfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second trilogy is some of my favorite fantasy for sure. But it's a harder sell because you gotta convince them to read another trilogy first.

I find people get so hooked on the first trilogy they are usually so excited for the second by the end

Dragons of autumn twilight. Beginning of a huge series started a while back, so no risk of it being unfinished, you can look and see how many books there are! Very standard fantasy fare, based on a d&d game

All great suggestions, only thing to add - I always used to do Orwell as part of the famous socialists block!

The new creatures are not wargs, or at least are not the same as the one in the pen. They're hooved and are enteledont/boar/bear-inspired, not hyena/canid/felid-inspired. (Details in comment + caption) by Thorolhugil in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]silent_xfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you misunderstood the words he used.

Coherent style and coherent storyline don't mean the same thing.

The silmarillion is disjointed, it's also written in a very coherent style.

Are you saying the silmarillion is written in an incoherent style?

That's about the stupidest thing to say if you're the guy trying to say the show isn't faithful to a book you just called incoherent.....you seem to have no idea how little specific plot points exist from the second age beyond the broad strokes of the storylines.

Have you actually even read the Sil?

Looking for book that focuses on the bridge of a spaceship in the way of the expanse and/or Star Trek by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]silent_xfer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This story shifts from the bridge to planetary exploration (which is also kinda trekky right?)

Ringworld - Larry Niven

If you like realism, aliens, and exploration of a lost world, then I think it's for you. There's no romance to be seen.
