This seems absolutely absurd to me. Some of my favorite books of all time took a good 20 or so pages to get into. In fact, I don't know if there's any book I've been hooked from the first sentence.
Food splatfests are so boring. I like splatfests where you can make a character judgement based on what someone chooses. Food preference tells you nothing.
Hasn't it been shown the cameras actually increase accident rates? Basically it makes people drive less predictably, by slowly really quickly when they realize there's a camera. I could be thinking of red light cameras, rather than speed cameras but I thought it was both.
I'm pretty sure they aren't enforceable? If someone doesn't want to pay one it's super easy to get out of. Which ends up meaning that the people who need be held accountable, aren't. And the people that are decent drivers, continue to be decent drivers.
Frodo deserves his praise at the ceremony, however there is some validity to this.
He claimed the ring, and Middle Earth is forever ruined for him. They go back to the Shire, kick ass, kill a bunch of bandits, and purge Saruman from their home, and save everyone. But Frodo literally can't even enjoy it. Middle Earth is forever ruined for him, and he literally has to leave the content and metaphorically pass on to the next world in order to achieve any semblance of peace. His soul is thoroughly shredded from the ring.
Anybody that says LOTR has a cliche ending where the good guys win is a moron.
