@trinsec "butchering"... I never heard that word used before to mean "correcting"

Just as it was foretold in the ancient texts...

#LotR #Tolkein

@selea I miss atom, but since it went away i moved to vs code should i need a GUI... that said in reality I tend to use spacemacs.

What do you use?

Did Tolkein intend for modern day Little People/Dwarfs to be linked with Dwarves from #lotr

I have thought about this alot and I think we can agree with a solid no. There is no description in his work of Dwarvews being able to intermate with any other race. In fact there is strong evidence they likely couldnt.

However hobbits could, in fact, interbreed with humans (as elves could). I suspect Tolkein intended modern day Little People to be associated with hobbits rather than dwarves.

I also say that its likelyt here is a connectiona t all because tolkein did write LotR as if it was a pre-history. So I suspect he did intend some sort of connection somewhere.

@freeschool

You mean your upload limit directly to qoto.org and not one of our services like nextcloud? I need to check how to do that and if it can be done on a per-user basis.

But wouldnt it be better if i setup a service specifically for pod casts that is AP federated? One exists. Then you can just boost it from your account here since it will show as a fedi account and post.

@bonifartius

@admitsWrongIfProven if your offering large sacks of money ill take one ;)

@mjambon IF anything bad happens from it, then you just repress that... thing man think :)

@mxtthxw I am not familiar with what his ability was or how it compares to mine.

@trinsec I just choose never to think about it again and then after a certain amount of time I cant remember what it was if I try.

Like I remember thinking back to many times in my life where I had the thought I was going to choose to forget something, but no joking I dont remember what that something was, I just remember doing that many times so I know I can.

I am weird, I know.

@mxtthxw I'm not aware of his relationship to this.

@lonelyowl I think this idea actually works on many levels, and you arent wrong.

The other side is the selfish side. IF you act in your own selfish interests then you will **choose** to be altruistic because helping people without thought or demand of reward usually results in a higher reward!

As contradictory as that sounds it really isnt, again, they are the same! It is amazing how two things being identical can sound remarkably similar to a contradiction :)

I think I am the only person I ever met who can intentionally choose to forget a memory. I do it all the time, when I want to forget something that is unpleasant I can just forget it... I cant remember a specific instance mind you, but I'm sure I've done it :)
