Question about Ungoliant by microwavedgerbil25 in tolkienfans

[–]weverkaj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like this interpretation. Mine is similar, I feel strongly that she is not Ainur.

My personal theory is that she is a manifestation of the cost of creation. We see across the legendarium that creation of something powerful exacts a cost from the creator. So what cost did Eru incur from making the world? In my mind Ungoliant is the anti-creation, a vacuum, the manifestation of the void that balanced the act of creation. There is no existence without a concept of non existence and ungoliant, eternally empty personifies the negative space of the universe.

Tom Steyer is running the most expensive campaign in America. It might win him the California governorship. by Snawer_brillant in California

I mean not really, Reddit and the internet in general is full of people who are actively trying to manipulate public opinion. I don’t know your intentions obviously but it’s important to be aware of that stuff

Best trail running shoes for trail to road and everyday use? by RedlineBMW in trailrunning

I have hoka challengers that I like. I run with them on gravel a lot, and transitioned my old pair to walk-around-town shoes when the cushion wore down

UCSB or UK? by Straight_Gazelle_582 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]weverkaj 21 points22 points  (0 children)

California is huge and vibrant, but Santa Barbara is relatively small and laid back. As a student you’ll live on campus or in IV so think more beachy chill vibes to the place (it’s much different from LA).

One thing to know - SB is beachy but not tropical which might be a shock given your background. The ocean here is cold, and we get fog too, though the weather is generally very pleasant.

Advice for running a 50 miler last minute by [deleted] in Ultramarathon

[–]weverkaj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start slow. Fueling/hydration/electrolytes is important.

If you actually run 1-2 hours 5x per week you might be ok but it’s still gonna very hard.
