Even this incompetent dude can contribute
Hmmm
Fair enough
LotR is "look at this underdog saving the day, and also these übermenschen who will do nothing, and also 50 pages on this fucking tree on top of a rock next to a waterfall"
"Tom Bombadil will do sweet fuck all. The next 3 chapters are songs and smoking weed. I invented a language for this book"
There is a reason that people say that lotr suceeded in spite of Tolkien.
Haha
He's the archetypical world builder who... developed his characters along the lines of an afterthought
sometimes it makes me sad that people can't look at males being close friends without someone making the "joke" of it just being gay.
LotR is honestly a beautiful work, it's just very slow paced for two books
The openness of homosexuality restrains heterosexual male affection
@Shadows blame the sexual revolution mate
Return of the King is the "Get Shit Done" book
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ @wail
I remember reading a letter by John Adams or one of the other founding fathers, sleeping in the same bed as another founding father
GAY!
Yeah, so gay
Every man who ever expressed kinship with another man was gay -Gay Scholars Everywhere
indeed
I don't mind people really joking tho, what makes me sad is the ones that really believe men can never have bonds without things being sexual.
That's why the practice of "shipping" kind of annoying's me, but.... people are free to enjoy what they want......
Shipping is hilarious
But big difference between fantasy and insistence

@RoadtoDawn did you see the video i linked about it?

A pot of refried beans sounds really good tbh
@wolfman1911 do you consider federal spending on roads a hand out to cars?
Not really.
I've never heard anyone put it that way.
@wolfman1911 ok. I’m kind of toying with an idea. One of the biggest criticisms of libertarianism is ‘what about muh roads?’ I’m starting to think that federal funding of roads is, in part, responsible for the current situation of urban sprawl and quantity of fossil fuels used for transportation. I halfway think that there would be far more public transportation and denser urban living if roads weren’t paid for by the feds. What do you think?
Watch Crowder's Devil's Advocate with Ben Shapiro and they have a good discussion about roads being an exception since they are non rivalrous commodities
Well, I can't see a situation where I would call myself a libertarian, but I can kinda see their point about the roads.
That said, I also see the value in having the roads paid for as they are, because I have a hard time imagining how else it could work.
