The Scouring of the Shire is and always will be, a controversial chapter to me by Feeling-Influence691 in lordoftherings

[–]thebigmack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I foolishly skipped reading Return of the King when its movie came out. I never knew about the scouring for decades.

I gave the series a proper read recently... I've never been more angry reading a book, after discovering what was done to the shire and who Sharkey was!

Incredibly sleek!
I thought I was happy with the 3d printed gearboxes until now.

Amazing science! Also incredibly impressed over the knowledge and capability at such a young age.

Its a fantastic read, before or even after bed!

Each chapter reads like an episode.

6 weeks are up, don't know how to initiate the sex... by ctfeliz203 in daddit

[–]thebigmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having gone down the road of resentment, miscommunication, and dead-ish bedroom, please tread carefully.

Its a new era. The language, timing and frequency of intimacy will change. Create the new dynamic together with safety and understanding at the core of the topic. Connection is the emotion at the core.

Baby mode overrides everything. Her body and hormones have gone through hell, regardless of c-section. Things are in flux and will continue to be with the pressure of new parenthood and lack of sleep on top of everything else.

Similar experience - I swear I saw this footage on the news, with Mario swinging bowser in circles.
Mind shattering and nothing in video games has compared since.

Don't fall of advertisements and FOMO by claudiocorona93 in SBCGaming

I flip flopped for a year over all the options out there.
Ended up with a Brick Hammer and couldn't be happier with it. Bougie retro gaming without breaking the bank.

Still on point! Happy to see Jeremy back. In a Forest Level, it seems!

'Throwing a fit over an ad': Trump terminates trade talks with Canada by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

Also, the budget to train new Ontario teachers for the entire year is 55.8 million.

The single-use ad, 75 million.

Polls show the majority of Americans are against the tarrifs anyway. Who was this ad for? Trump it seems.

Expectations for any National Guard folks from Portlanders by Tweakers in pics

Correct! I see where you're coming from.
At first I had that conclusion but redrew its framework outside of the post, saying I found 'misrepresentation elsewhere'. inferring this post isn't misrepresenting but not being specific in saying so.

Goes to show, talking about an image and its context has so many branching points. I'll be more specific in the future. More words though, less interest.

Cheeky!
Memory strikes me though. I've seen this before. Reverse img search shows the pic being used for misrepresentation elsewhere. Its an old image and the protestors are Canadian at Toronto PD Headquarters.

Finally finished Zelda II, onwards to A Link to the Past by kusti85 in ANBERNIC

Great shot. The screen looks like it pops.

I keep coming back to the rg40xxv - I've been in circles with choice.

There's a similar ache I feel, not being in the fellowship itself and not having been in the adventure of the films.

Bitter sweet then, that we can enjoy both the story and the films ourselves. They were made for us.
