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.

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

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)

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