That’s a narrow view of art

The amount of bots, spam and other problematic content would be overwhelming for admins to moderate, most instances would just defederate on day 0.

Check out Graphene OS, it supports the pixel lineup and is pretty easy to install if you know how to read and copy paste.

Can’t say I have the same experience. Other than for old niche content, the sources cited from asking perplexity.ai (I just use it since it’s free, no idea how it compares to others) tend to be exactly what I’m after.

Further proof of Grizzly being the peak of human performance.

What’s weird about the whole incident is that anyone with even the slightest knowledge of the PC gaming space could have told you that this is exactly what would happen.

Imagine her reaction when she finds out that firefox got a browsing history feature

That sounds genuinely shocking to me, in what country? Do you not have supervisors for the high school students? At uni you shouldn’t need much supervision, but for teenagers that’s mandatory.

Assuming it’s real, how could such a record be anywhere close to acceptable? I can’t remember anyone injuring themselves throughout every lab project I had in high school and university.

The way I interpreted Tolkien’s answer was more that Sam was the classical hero in the sense that once he returned home, he got a happy ending with Rose. Frodo on the other hand was irreversibly wounded and did not have a hero’s ending, having to leave to his beloved Shire to heal in Valinor.

He did not claim that Sam’s story was more heroic in the sense most people would associate with the word.

I thought Fangorn was dangerous.

‘Dangerous!’ cried Gandalf. 'And so am I, very dangerous: more dangerous than anything you will ever meet, unless you are brought alive before the seat of the Dark Lord. And Aragorn is dangerous, and Legolas is dangerous. You are beset with dangers, Gimli son of Glóin; for you are dangerous yourself, in your own fashion. Certainly the forest of Fangorn is perilous — not least to those that are too ready with their axes; and Fangorn himself, he is perilous too; yet he is wise and kindly nonetheless.

I guess it’s up to interpretation, but personally I interpret that as dangerous as in lethality. Only Sauron had the power to best Gandalf the White in direct confrontation.

Considering what Fingolfin did to Morgoth, you’d think so. Gandalf claimed he was the most dangerous person on Middle-Earth save for the dark lord himself though, which would imply he still held more power than the likes of Galadriel.

It’s a shame, but people are asking for it when they buy, and therefore support, these kind of games. If people simply refused to buy always-online games, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

TL;DR penny-anna is wrong, man/men refers to males, not the race

Tolkien capitalise the m when speaking of the race Men. “Man” refers to the race of full sized humans and “man” refers to a male.

Chapter Treebeard:

‘We always seem to have got left out of the old lists, and the old stories,’ said Merry. ‘Yet we’ve been about for quite a long time. We’re hobbits.’ ‘Why not make a new line?’ said Pippin. ‘Half-grown hobbits, the hole-dwellers. Put us in amongst the four, next to Man and you’ve got it.’

Man is capitalised as they speak about the race of men

Chapter Shelob’s lair:

But that desire was yet far away, and long now had she been hungry, lurking in her den, while the power of Sauron grew, and light and living things forsook his borders; and the city in the valley was dead, and no Elf or Man came near, only the unhappy Orcs.

Again, they speak of the race

Chapter The Battle of Pelennor Fields (Witch-King speaks of his prophecy):

Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!

Man is not capitalised as the prophecy was about males, not the race of men, which is a category Éowyn would have fallen into.

As summarised in the 50th anniversary edition :

… The result, nonetheless, still includes many variations in capitalization, punctuation, and other points of style. Not all of these are erroneous: they include words such as Sun, Moon, Hobbit, and Man (or sun, moon, hobbit, man), which may change form according to meaning or application, in relation to adjacent adjectives, or whether Tolkien intended personification, poetry, or emphasis. His intent cannot be divined with confidence in every case. But it is possible to discern Tolkien’s preferences in many instances, from statements he wrote in his check copies of The Lord of the Rings or from a close analysis of its text in manuscript, typescript, proof, and print. Whenever there has been any doubt whatsoever as to the author’s intentions, the text has been allowed to stand.

The irony…

It’s the highest grossing media franchise of all time, what sort of question is this?

They’ll probably work on another divinity game, but I’d love them trying out a game based on pathfinder.

Right now, you assholes are telling the world that the strong and powerful get special terms, while 30% is for the little people.

Sheesh, I agree that equalising the cut valve takes would be great, but what’s up with that language in a private email.
