Bring back the ccc. Give people purpose and support

There’s something to be said here about how normal it is for people to be renting later and later in life. I totally get what you’re saying but it’s sad that it’s true.

Yeah all of my most down voted reddit comments were the ones where I replied about something I’m an actual expert in. Scary stuff

Good thing there’s no corners or enclosed areas in malls

I’m not gonna worry about it

Yup. Employee ownership is the way to go

Yeah bit of a weird take. What now? I’ll keep making the more sustainable choice I guess

I can only speak for myself. I think personally I have a better perspective on things now than when I was 14, but I guess I could be wrong.

I think you’ve misinterpreted what I mean by arc. I guess I meant the character undergoes more personal growth in the films. In the books aragon knows what he’s about from day one. He is stoic af. And I get why he’s written that way and why some would prefer that. In the films he’s much more unsure about himself and over the course of the trilogy you see him kind of grow into being the king so that by the time he takes the crown it feels like you saw the internal journey that got him there. In the books of course we know that this period is what, like, a couple years of his very long life so that would feel more out of place.

Anyway, those kinds of changes bothered me as a teenager, but looking back at them now I feel differently. That’s not to say I like all the choices Jackson made, but I’ve come around on some, understand others better, and have seen enough other material jump from book to film to be super grateful for the effort that whole team put in to try and do these films right.

I like doing a reread/rewatch. Read the hook then watch it come to life. Honestly going back after all these years I find it like the movies more than when they released even. At the time I was young and wanted them to be more like the books, but as an adult I can understand and even agree with a lot of the changes. For instance, aragon is pretty different in that he’s given more of an arc in the films, and I like that. But of course there’s a thousand things I wish they had time to flesh out more. If they are going to do a remake I wish they’d do a series that allow them to slow down and really get into a lot of that. That’s really the only way I can see them even possibly living up to the Jackson films

Having lived in the US with publicly run transit and in the UK with privately run transit I’d say there’s a lot of ‘it depends’ you’re glossing over here. Very city dependent

You’re actually giving too much credit. Had not have. Past tense

The people the this amendment was specifically targeting weren’t convicted of anything.

It actually never even occurred to me that you could beat it. I just figured everyone plays until they get bored

Hey I agree with you but might want to use a different metaphor in the future. Drying the well won’t stop thirst, but neither will anything else, except well, death I guess.

It’s funny cause I’m here as an imigrant but leaving cause the place is going to shit. So, success?
