If it makes you feel better, and you didn't already know, that didn't really happen in the books. They decided to march to war on their own with no hesitation and no conversation about it with Merry and Pip.
Galadriel had nothing to do with Gondolin but she was definitely in Beleriand at the time. She was around to experience the light of the trees and make her way to Middle Earth with the Noldor.
When hurricane Beryl hit us, Target was on generators with very minimal lighting and no music. It was such a great shopping experience, that I flagged down the manager and asked them to do this full time.
It's really annoying when someone tries to get super philosophical but has the shallowest take. On the other hand, not everyone has taken philosophy courses and what I consider "Descartes 101" may actually be something new and eye opening to them so dismissing them would make me the pretentious gatekeeper.
Anyways, I mostly agree with you. Like Scrubbles said, there are some that truly deserve it.
God I hated that change so much. I only play 2v2 ranked with my buddy now. I never play anything else anymore.
There was no reason to ruin casual like that. I remember all the whiners on the RL subreddit saying crap like "I want to play a full match with a team!" and all I could think was, then go fucking play ranked! They like to drop terms like "not sweating" to justify ruining casual. Really?? If you don't give a crap about ranking then who cares what ranking you are in ranked matches? Just go play ranked! And if you're that mentally weak, then yell at epic to let you hide your ranking from being displayed after matches instead of ruining an entire game mode.
I miss having a zero commitment game mode that I can pop in while waiting for my buddy to take a dump or something. Now casual is just ranked without the ranking. It still has mmr, you can't leave without bans, it's absolutely pointless and might as well not exist. Let me go get my ass slapped by a grandmaster! Or let me show off to a bunch of bronzies. It hurts no one.
Yup, had a massive panic attack from gummies. Went to the hospital because I thought I was having a stroke. Got pumped full of lorazepam and slept for 26 hours. Full day of my life gone.
My son's only 8 so I have no personal experience parenting a tween/teen. So take that into consideration with my advice.
How about the next time you're watching with them, try this:
"I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because I was trusted to be intelligent and wise enough to critically select what I watched or read and learn from the mistakes I made if I consumed something negatively influential. I have tried to extend this same trust to you, but the constant repetition of what you hear and your inability to form a cogent argument makes me feel like your YouTube viewing habits are teaching you to accept concepts at face-value simply because they are popular.
If you will engage with me in a discussion on these videos, I'll leave you alone and continue to trust you on this. However, if you continue to shrug and dismiss the conversation, I will have to consider blocking this content until you are ready to engage with me on a deeper level."
I know modern parenting advice tells us to prefer reward over punishment so if there's a reward strong enough to motivate them to engage, go with that. But if punishment is a greater motivator, I'd say damn the modern parenting advice.
After reviewing the footage, Sedef realized that the bears always opted for the Anzer honey, proving they have very good taste. According to The Guardian, Anzer honey is “produced from the nectar of 90 flowers that grow only in the mountains of the Anzer plateau.”
This is pretty interesting. Considering Anzer plateau is in Turkey and this took place in Turkey, I wonder if the bear prefers the honey because it's truly better or the taste is familiar to the bear, being in Turkey and all.
