Caine knows enough about politics to understand that a communist would be the opposite of a monarch.

I can only interpret it as Ron being an unreliable twat. I mean what else is he going to do, searching for the Horcruxes is literally the most important possible task. Always disliked him honestly. I'm Harrymionie til I die. I don't even remember why they suddenly started finding Horcruxes after he left.

I get that it being aimless is the point but as a story that's boring and unsatisfying. I've already been on enough shitty English camping holidays that seemed neverending, that's not what I read/watch fiction for.

The last movie is the highest rated on IMDB and the second-last one of the highest rated, if you look at the reviews you can see people express that view I stated.

>unreliable twat
Except he's not especially in the context of the scene, since despite being significantly injured (severe hypothermia, starvation, crippling injury etc.) he's still with Harry. Harry is the one projecting his fears of abandonment onto Ron. Ron was pretty much always there for Harry and never hesitated to stand up against threats and dangers no matter how scared he might have been.
>I don't even remember why they suddenly started finding Horcruxes after he left
They didn't. Ron left and then because of Hermione's wards couldn't find them despite basically trying to find them immediately after leaving, so he was searching for them for several weeks and came in for the save with the Sword of Gryffindor. Hell, he wanted to stay but Harry literally tells to him to leave repeatedly. Ron's biggest problem in the scene (and it's just realistic relative to such arguments) is that in his frustration and anger, he comes off a lot harsher and provokes a similar response from Harry, and Hermione in this instance was being an utter willow.

Also the movies cut out a lot of scenes and switched up dialogue that was important to Ron's character, resulting in him coming off as more of a prat than in the books.

IMDB is not a reliable source I'm going to be honest, primarily because the number of reviews and so on there are paltry compared to the sheer SIZE of the fandom itself. Almost everyone I knew hated it, even unreasonably so.

I agree that Ron/Hermione wasn't a very good pairing, but neither is Harry/Hermione.

>It's just plant matter and cancer is probably caused by the fucking deathsticks they call cigarettes.
Nicotine is such a deadly neurotoxin that its advised to not use it as a pesticide because its dangerous even if a few drops get on your food plants. Tobacco actually kills soil, literal death plant:
>Tobacco cultivation rapidly depleted the soil of nutrients. Although this may seem to be a strike against it, early settlers quickly discovered that virgin Virginia soil was too rich for successful harvest of traditional European crops, especially cereals. Tobacco broke down the fields and made food crops more productive.

I think the Eye of Sauron is literally the sun. Imagine in ancient times that someone told you the sun was a living being, a god, and he could see you all day while he was up. This is a key part of Abrahamic religion, right? This idea of an all seeing, all powerful entity that punishes.

On top of that, the "Sauron as a king" idea is just that some ancient kings were crowned as "son of the sun", or avatars of the sun itself. It's the Pharaoh.

Now, Tolkien's history with Mordor and Sauron goes to before our recorded history. Morder according to his maps is roughly modern day Romania. The very characteristic mountain range around it makes this clear.

So, what Tolkien is actually saying is that solar worship and the idea that the king is the avatar of the sun started here, and this religion of solar worship essentially led to the evils of empire building, as the above anon explained. It's anti-human.

>>46259
These proto-Romanians of 5000 BC created the Tartaria tablets, which is proof of their sophistication in that age. They were the products of steppe tribe invasion into Western European agricultural lands. This is probably the story of "Sauron" in LOTR who creates "orc slaves" out of "mud". This is the steppe tribe creating mutts out of the Romanian agriculturalists and turning them into slave soldiers for the empire. Everyone else then had to contend with this mighty economic power.

So, those proto-Romanians are in the same region as Greece and Anatolia. I think they moved southward and into the Mediterranean, and they became the Minoans, the Phoenicians, and the "Egyptians" (King Menes being the first Pharaoh, although some archaeologists believe Egypt existed for thousands of years before this, so King Menes and his descendants maybe didn't build the pyramids). Then, they moved eastward and became or conquered the Sumerians and Babylonians (and Mesopotamia at large). I believe the Babylonians called them Gutians in their age, so it didn't all happen instantly – they didn't conquer the whole world in one swoop.

In the end, it isn't even a single group of people that we can label so much as it is an influence from this ancient period that is felt by many people today, although some people try to claim they descend directly from them. I believe this may be the root of Judaism, but it's also in Hinduism. The whole thing about being the solar avatar is at the root of this all.

>It doesn't take super-vision to see up to the top of a tower, anon. Especially if there's a big, bright object up there.
That's true, but exposure to and use of the ring has also been altering Frodo on a fundamental level. I don't have the text at hand to reference but several times both while wearing the ring and without it Frodo is able to see beyond the physical world to the spiritual one beyond it.

>So, what Tolkien is actually saying is that solar worship and the idea that the king is the avatar of the sun started here, and this religion of solar worship essentially led to the evils of empire building, as the above anon explained. It's anti-human.

Except the elves were worshipping the sun and moon back before they left the undying lands. The creation of the sun is a pretty significant event in the Silmarillion and is treated unequivocally as a good thing.

>>46263
Some variation of it then. The Black Sun worship could have started there. My understanding of the black sun is that it boils down to solar and lunar eclipses, and it would also probably be associated with comets and anything else that causes hellfire and years of acid rain and black/cloudy skies.

TBH those skaters seem to get into a lot of street fights too, so maybe the teeth loss isn't even from the skateboarding itself.

Are inline skaters welcome? That mobbing from skateboarders in the 00's was devastating.

Kia estas la kunteksto de tio?

>>45457
Ĝi estas piednoto el la libro "Aelita, aŭ la Marso formortanta", eldonita esperante en 1928. Mi trovis ĝin dum kiam mi helpis provlegi ĝin ĉe pgdp.net.

>>45458
Kio estas pgdp.net?

>>45477
Ĝi estas retpaĝo, kie oni povas provlegi librojn por "Project Gutenberg". Iu afiŝas libron al ĝi, kun bildoj (po paĝo) kaj tekstoj transskribitaj per komputilo (po paĝo). Sekve oni korektas la transskribaĵon laŭ la bildoj. La transskribado ne estas perfekta, ekzemple: ofte mi vidas ke la "j" finaĵo aperas kiel punktokomo ("plej" aperas kiel "ple;"). Ĉiu paĝo estas provlegota trifoje, per tri malsamaj personoj. Sekve oni priskribas la apero de la teksto (diklitera, kursiva, ktp.), dufoje. Finfine oni metas la paĝojn kune je libro kaj sendas ĝin al Project Gutenberg.

Bedaŭrinde la retpaĝo kaj ĝiaj instrukcioj estas en la angla, do vi devas kompreni ĝin se vi volas helpi, sed se vi ja parolas la anglan, mi rekomendas ke vi provu ĝin, estas kelkaj esperantlingvaj libroj kiuj bezonas vian helpon!

there anything sketchy about the UN doing all this? seems too good to be true

Perfect

Alright long story short, I used to be poor but rented a space with some gardenspace which was cool.

I moved and had to give that up (which really kinda depressed me) but now I have an easy, good paying job right now. I'm just planning to save some money and buy a field somewhere where I can put a small enough living space (or with a few people). With some luck I can turn this in a fully remote job too.

I'll love this thread. I used to work for am organic farm. It was pretty cool but I couldn't keep working there, also I want to go further.

Thank you for reading my blogpost.

The UN sometimes does good things. Not everything about it is the security council. They probably are taking advantage of the situation somehow but it's still good to slow down desertification.

>>46171
Thank you for writing it. Good luck on turning it into a remote job and getting the field.

>>46071
>there anything sketchy about the UN doing all this? seems too good to be true
there's nothing sus about it, they're just forced to respond to China's publicized success in reversing desertification. Some Western countries were forced to give their populations some succdem healthcare during the cold war because the USSR was doing it. Now China's advances in greening deserts is forcing the UN to finally follow some good policies.

This makes more money and Disney has done many rereleases.

>>46098
Is there some breakdown of audience demographics? Because, who watches this crap? How does it keep making money? Now obvious answer is children, but wouldnt children prefer animated version?

>>46099
>>46099
Well disney doesnt do 2d anymore. This is basically an animation considering one of the titular characters is full cgi. I don't know that kids really even prefer animation tho. I watched a lot of acted kids movies and even mixed live action and animation kids movies growing up, I think a lot of the acted ones did well, it is just the cartoons are more critically acclaimed.

I watched Sinners. The scene where they're playing music and all the ghosts of past and future black and Chinese musicians appear was kinda cringe. I understand what they were going for with it, all the best and most iconic music and culture of the USA was made by black USAnians but the juxtaposition of a modern DJ and rappers and rock stars with the old timey blues came off as silly.

Any good films yet this year? Everytime I look at new releases its celebrity documentaries, war propaganda, and cop propaganda.

Fried soup sounds kinda sick tbh
Like I'm imagining beef stew or chicken noodle soop but even more savory and thick

anons when the brine in a jar of pickles or olives turns yellow does that mean it's gone bad?
