Ah, the mods are puritanical. That explains it.

only if you’re scottish

The real differences are that the scope is massively expanded and they’ve stopped trying to hide it. Now they’re just doing it out in the open.

The sun was made from the last fruit of Laurelin (one of the two great trees) and is being shipped around the sky on a cart. Legolas has never seen the light of Valinor, i believe he was born after the trees died. It’s definitely not visible at all times to the elves, since even before the world was turned round it went below it out of sight at night-time. Presumably the elves still see the sun affect only parts of the world, they can just see beyond the horizon.

Edit: as an aside, the last remaining silmaril is the Evening star that shines in the west.

That’s some prime title gore. “is now being done by him to U.S.” huh? why would you not just write “he is now doing to the U.S.”?

she’s gotta have industrial strength sun cream or be out there for like 5m max

Note that the cheese that the rat is eating is none of the types pictured, implying that all these issues are real and the rat doesn’t like them.

Assuming you fall asleep in any reasonable time frame. If i go to bed that early I’m likely to not fall asleep until 4am at least.

Barb: 2 come first, gooder!!

Alternatively N A Z I, but whichever works really.

Ooh a double reference, fancy!

Absolutely, but calling it a reference implies that it was intentional by the writer, which seems unlikely considering what he’s said about such things.

Not everything needs to have deep/real-world meaning. As i recall, Tolkien really didn’t like people ascribing such things to his writing. They’re just stories and should be treated as such.

100% agreed. It just reeks of mods thinking they own and know what’s best for the community, further exacerbated by comments like this one. They think they are the community, or at least are the reason it thrives.

I asked her about it, and she said that she won’t hijack the community from the existing team, but she’d be willing to point people to a community made alternative if it spins up. Not necessarily the decision i would have made, but i understand and respect it.

Idk man, have you done the math on whether the universe expands yourself? Because i haven’t. I simply believe that the scientists who have aren’t lying to me, same as I believe that Jupiter is in fact a giant sphere of gas, because that’s what I’ve been told.

No one can verify all of science, so we must all trust that those who came before us got things right (unless we discover that they didn’t ofc).

Therefore, i believe in science.

This is how it showed up on my feed, perfect post for that to happen to

That’s a fair point, i can absolutely see Gandalf the Grey justifying with something like “there is more evil in this world than just Sauron”.

Except there’s nothing left after the purge
