Edgar Allen Ho posted:Take a lesson from Tolkien. He started on a LotR sequel and realized it was poo poo, then just stopped. He didn't stop, he kept working on the mythology and his created languages until his death. The Silmarillion was published posthumously and is not Tolkien's final intent, just his son's best guess at what it should be after picking through 10 000 pages of material. *to see what is left out you can read, for example, Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth or The Children of Húrin. doverhog has a new favorite as of 19:16 on Feb 27, 2022 |

The idea of having nemeses on an online forum like SA seems weird to me. I have no enemies here and can't imagine that ever changing.

If someone on Facebook responds with a gif I usually ignore them. Posting a gif is a great way for when you know jack poo poo about the discussion but you still feel the need to contribute absolutely nothing to it.

Nah, I'm just enjoying the "well, you can come to Texas if you're this and not that" discussion in light of recent orders about trans kids. That probably should make your list of what is and isn't okay in the great state of Texas. Atticus_1354 posted:The government definitely sucks. But I know a lot of very happy gay people here doing some great work to make it better. I'm trans. I think I got the "not welcome" loud and loving clear. It's great that there are people on the ground trying to make it better, and I donate to charities that try and help with abortion access in Texas, but my personality held unpopular opinion is that I'm going to go out of my way to highlight the state government's bigotry whenever I get the chance.

You're just making the same "if you don't like it why don't you move" and "people in the south deserve bad things because of their gov" arguments that always get made.

You're putting words in my mouth. I don't think Texans, especially LGBT Texans deserve their government. But I'm not going to walk on eggshells in the loving unpopular opinion thread about saying Texas seems to be pretty unwelcoming to LGBT people. Since you're putting words in my mouth, let me take a guess: next is the part where you tell me to move there to be the change. Edit: the post I responded to was literally about what was and wasn't okay for someone moving to Texas. Do you not think the state government's hostility is relevant?

I did know about the great Vietnamese food there and that was a consideration. My rough idea is as long as there's an H-Mart close by then I'll be happy.

doverhog posted:The Shield is good but as someone who has watched it and all those it's like, as good? Also why are you watching a show 20 times, that time could be spent better eating rear end. I like to always have something on in the background. Because I do it while I work and get distracted, it takes several passes before the plot really sticks. Also you can eat rear end while watching tv.

I will approve and sanction this thread, subject that we need at least one impartial poster to be the hype person announcer who gives us all the lore of each side of the forum arch enemy. I will also allow for people who do not want enemies and just need posting friends, posting allies or posting animalities. I however draw the line on posting romances

I believe you, person with 23746 posts, that you remember nothing about posters on SA. Sure, and if that actually was true it would be more disturbing.
