I'll admit I enjoy perpetuating the meme of elfhating, but yes he speaks the truth. The dwarves are a glorious race relegated to revilement as grumpy old miners. We craft wonders, our forges are without parallel, we bring beauty and love to the hard bones of the world.
Dwarves were largely ruined by campy exaggerations of Tolkien’s Dwarves, and near solidified by the LOTR movies reserving Gimli’s character mostly for comic relief. They have been redditized by beer drinking, elf hating, and hole digging
Enemies scaling based on your level is one of the worst mechanics in gaming. It completely removes the sense of progression.

After watching the Phantom Menace I declared my adoration for Darth Maul because dualbladed lightsabers are epic! My dad asked "you know Maul was the bad guy, right?" and oblivious 11yo me said "yeah, but he was cool!" My poor father.

Almost 60% of American women outsource the bulk of their early child-raising to others. 98% of moms dump their kids in (mostly) terrible “schools.” Why don’t Western women want to raise their own kids anymore? How can we keep our amazing culture if strangers raise our kids?
Hey gork, how many celebs secretly visit my profile every day and wish I would talk to them and maybe become best friends?
But there are no dwar.... nevermind, I found one.
A sensitive girl is a FEELMAIDEN. A tall girl is an ENTMAIDEN. A short girl is a DWARFMAIDEN. A girl who talks a lot is a SPELLMAIDEN. A pale girl is an ELFMAIDEN or ELVEN. An artsy girl is a CRAFTMAIDEN. A girl who makes bread is a LOAFMAIDEN. Etc.
My parents didn't want their teenaged son viewing the voluptuous lusty overtones of Attack of the Clones so I only saw Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith in the theaters. To this day, when I watch a SW marathon I have to consciously remember to include AoC or I'll forget it.

The left is mad at Trump because he's President. The right is mad at Trump because he isn't being the President we know he can be.
My wife texted me “Your great!” and I said “No, you’re great!!” She was in a wonderful mood all day! Guys, women love it when you correct their grammar.
Leadership isn’t about doing it all yourself, but making sure that it gets done in the most effective way. 🤔
Do you buy books for your children (who haven’t been conceived yet), or are you normal
