Absolutely, it's worth talking about since it's not a new phenomena with Tolkien's work. We should be mindful of these kinds of interpretations and be clear about how we, as a community, respond.

They're Star Treks room of requirement (fuck JK btw), they are whatever size you need them to be

The inconsistent size of Jeffrie's tubes is one of the things I love about the franchise. Sometimes crawl through them, sometimes run. Who fucking knows!

There are definite themes of 'old' or 'ancient bloodlines' making better or stronger men and elves, as arda generally declines in many ways. Look at Númenor and its genetic legacy. It's a short leap for fascists and racists towards blood and racial purity nonsense, and the decline of, or assault on, so called 'Western civilisation' from the 'hordes' of eaterlings and haradrim. It's a narrow minded and surface level view of the literature, but morons aren't exactly known for their media literacy.

How about consolidating some of the vegan communities? You concentrate the user base (which hopefully means more consistent content and less repetition) and get more mods in one place. I know other communities have done this successfully, but it's dependent on mods agreeing, so maybe not that easy.

It's the 24th century. No-one cured baldness because they're past caring about such nonsense

That still can't inform you properly on how a game 'feels' to play. I'm very tempted by Alan Wake 2, but having bounced off many other similar games because of how they control has me pining for a demo. I'll not be dropping 50 quid without being able to try it first

Ah that's a shame. We've had a worryingly mild autumn so far, and rarely get any significant snow nowadays. Yay climate change, I suppose... :/

Well, it's certainly more interesting than the offerings in the ones near me

Ingredients from their website. Water, modified starch 25%, coconut oil 18%, tricalcium citrates (a calcium supplement), salt, natural flavouring, acidity regulator: citric acid, colour: natural beta carotene, vitamin B12.

They don't taste anything like the others (from what I remember) but I really like them. Very creamy flavour. I understand they're quite divisive though

I'm more interested in what's in this Latin American section? No tesco near me has this

The episode could've been called Shades of Cave(s)

Yeah, I like pursuer as well. Great concept, maybe not the best execution. Wish they'd brought the idea back

The arrested a 16 year old and a 69 year old man. I just want to know why the person did it

Same. Great episode. I love the interplay between these two

Oh nice. Didn't realise these were out now as I don't have Netflix. Definitely wanna check them out. Need to rewatch Ateroid City actually, I watched it with someone clearly not interested who kept talking!

I watched Citizen Kane for the first time. It's one I'd never got round to despite it being so lauded. I'll be honest, it being black and white and from 1941, I had prejudged it as I've not been a fan of other films of that era.

Thankfully, It's pretty bloody good! In many ways it feels a more modern film than many that came after it. Yes, some of the acting is a bit hokey, but Orson Welles is great, and the directing, cinematography, and music are all stellar. There's so many bold and interesting choices and often a tangible sense of heightened reality about it. It's an odd film in that it outlines the entire plot in the first 10 minutes, but still hooks you with the central question. What is Rosebud? But, more importantly, who is Charles Foster Kane?

This is basically nothing, seeing as the vast majority of event points come from challenges

I'd say it may take a little time to 'click' at first but, there's still plenty of ways to make it easier. E.g. consumables, certain weapon combos
