Can I read the ‘great tales’ without reading Silmarillion?
2024.11.29 16:40 quickpiee Can I read the ‘great tales’ without reading Silmarillion?
I’ve read the hobbit, and I am going to start lord of the rings soon. I’ve seen the great tales books in stores and they seem interesting and I was thinking about reading them. Ngl I am not super interested in the Silmarillion because I’ve seen it’s basically just a history book and I honestly do not think I would be able to get through it. Can I read the great tales without reading Silmarillion? And are the great tales also ‘history books’, or not so much?

2024.11.29 16:40 Wikeve AITAH for breaking up with my bf?
I [26F] has fairly recently broke up with long distance now-ex boyfriend [33M] of over seven years.
We have been long distance all of our relationship, the distance being really significant - roughly 2000 miles. I also live far away from the airport so catching the plane was never easy. We've met on the internet soon after my 18th birthday and we've REALLY hit it off thanks to our mutual interests at the time. I was still young and very much in love when we were getting into the relationship so we've sworn to make it work somehow. Travelling during holidays, erasmus to his country etc etc. Fast forward some time from that - world is "on fire" with covid and restrictions. Forget ERASMUS or travelling to another country. I didn't pass one of the subjects and needed to retake it so I wasn't elligible for ERASMUS during the time when covid wasn't coviding. Fast forward my university years, I had an accident which damaged my spine. To this day I'm having manual therapy to help relieve the pain, strenghten my core muscles and make sure that my bones are aligned in a way that is *not* making one of my legs appear shorter than the other. I also caught covid which activated pretty violent asthma that took months upon months to calm down with meds that now I will take till the rest of my life - for almost a year I had attacks from things as simple as air conditioning in public transportation or someone smoking within 15 meters distance from me. No way I could travel to him for a long while due to my health conditions.
In the meanwhile, he is suffering from MS which he was diagnosed with at age 18, I've always known about this. His MS got worse, he talked about how his body feels but not really about real life example of things that he is struggling with. Covid potentially could mess him really bad so he had an extremely sedetary lifestyle which mostly stayed with him even after covid ended.
Back when we started dating I've really struggled with self esteem or should I say, a belief that I'm attractive person as a potential partner. We got along so well despite me being really awkward. As the time passed by and I continued maturing, I've opened up a lot and realized how important are for me things like cuddling. I used be really reserved and flinched when touched but now I just want to come back home from work and quietly cuddle in bed tbh. Knowing that there is a partner there that I can't touch made me pretty depressed over time. Feeling that all there is for me is being stuck in front of the computer, watch videos together and play video games... and that's it made me feel very sad. I did tell him many times about how it's weighting on me which he is always tried to make me feel better that soon we will meet during some kind of vacations. It didn't really make me feel better as we were never seeing each more than 4-5 weeks per year and that's... so little.
His parents had a horrendous divorce which made him reluctant to get married. Over the years I got tired with being eternal girlfriend. When we started dating, I said I want to get married, before I'm 30. Times is passing and there was still no plan whatsoever to move, get married etc. I got my unplanned health problems, he got his worsen. He wasn't speaking much about the future, we just kin da lived day by day. Sure, I wasn't bringing up marriage anywhere recently but I also don't believe there is point to pressure a person who doesn't want to do it... I would want a guy who will be craving to marry me... It's one of the things that now I'm second guessing whether I made a mistake not telling him more.
I shall mention a job situation. He's been an IT guy, hoping from one company to another. Staying at home on governement unemployment subsody after a company didn't want to reniew his contract. I believe that somewhere around now he should be unemployed for a year. He hasn't been really looking for any job either up until fairly recently. He said it was because he was waiting till I get some vacation time and come to him, that he would want to have a free time from work so we can spend it together. I can't help but to be suspicious whether there was some possible depression and laziness mixed into this - he wasn't searching for any free lance stuff, no side gig, no anything. He graduaded from uni with bachelor's degree - I'm sure he could give elementary school kids some private lesson for a bit of extra money... no? Bunch of old acquintances were doing that through the Discord. I must say that him being completely disinterested to do any of that sort of thing, as a man in his 30s, made me concerned for any potential future. He's been having a mess in his room and hasn't been doing much chores around the house. Just throwing the trash out, taking care of cat and that seemed to be pretty much it 98% of the time. He had been eating takeout, with his mother cooking once in a while - he is livinbg with her and she has been full time employed.
His sleep schedule has been really messed up - going to sleep around 3-4 am, getting out of bed anywhere between 11am - 2pm, with his mom sometimes serving him breakfast in bed. I've been looking at his life and getting increasingly concerned about how our life together would ever look likee considering his lifestyle over months now. Considering my health condition and poor mental health over past years.
On top of that, we have been arguing A LOT. He hated calling this "arguments", he preffered "misunderstandings",. There was a lot of yelling though. No name calling but he always managed to say things in a way that would make me feel guilty/bad about myself but still in a way that would leave him being able to argue with me that he is not criticizing me but the action. Which should be healthy but I felt he had been too rough and close minded in his speech for actual healthy conversation. On top of that these conflicts has always been taking hours to get resolved. It wasn't something we could talk out in 20 minutes. I would always, with a resignation, realize that remaining of my evening is pretty much gone. Sometimes he didn't hear me well on our voice call or I would say things that made sense in my head but was too ambigious for him, instead of asking me ton explain he would get mad and say things like me having low communication skills and that it is a responsibility of a speaker to make themselves understandable. I asked of him so many times to help me out, give me some patience but over all this time that has passed, not much has improved. Our other "musinderstanding" was us playing a mutliplier game toghether - I have performed significantly better than him, got high grade - S, he made some comment about congratulating me but I could tell that he was in a bad mood cuz the game didnt go too well from his perespective. I attempted to make him feel better by saying "Well, at least these don't matter too much anymore, you don't get chest from them". He got so mad with that comment. I got quiet for a 30 seconds or so to process how to handle this response. It was around midnight on Friday, I was after 5 days of work, tired. Then he got mad that I'm not asking him whether he wants play another one how rude and disrespectful it is of me to be intiving him to play and now not saying anything. I got so pissed off withh im saying that, at that moment I felt like I'm talking to a man child that has been sitting on his ass all week while I come back tired from work and he is picking up a fight. This "misunderstading" took 2,5 hours before the resolution.
I've been working in customer service so, as an introvert, I've been coming tired from work and not feeling like calling him immediately, which he also had an issue with. I know he was calling and texting me more while he was working and I wasn't than the other way around but I can't help not having energy even if it wasn't even.
One night I sat him down on a voice call and said that all the distance, arguments and lack of plans for the future are too much for me, it's too hurtful and I would like to end the relationship. He took it VERY badly. He eventually got angry that I blindsighted him, didn't talk to him, he could move to me, we could get married etc. but honestly, I don't really... want to anymore? I don't feel like it would work very well. He had moments of really bad temper, being very close minded and treating his mother really bad, considering his lack of effort to even keep his space clean and all the arguments, I don't feel like moving would suddenly make things right.
He got really sad and depressed, crying every day, being angry with me for not communicating with him. Eventually he wrote me texts about being disrespected, deserving better, not wanting to beg for my attention and giving me all the time for myself that I've wanted. Without waiting for any response, he blocked me on absolutely everything imaginable.
I know no one is a saint and I surely had my moments of temper, especially ever since 2024 I've been just depressed and having less and less energy to try to make things work. He has been texting me a lot but I was responsing sporadically as I wanted to be friends but still have a space to heal. I was also having difficulty talking to him now as he had been very sentstive about things - one day I was happy aboput buying new foundation, saying that my skin looks great which I didn't even expect and he got mad that I'm making him feel bad and it will be other guys seeing me looking good.
I'm sure there are things I could still say but this post seems to be long already.
I've been in love with him for all this time but everything was just a lot. Now he blocked me everywhere as I'm in a very difficult situation, with my mom in hospital having a very major surgery. I have absolutely no one to talk to about this, to ask for their opinion. I didn't mean to destroy him emotionally. Am I the ahole for breaking up with him without trying to work things out or give a relationship any last chance?

2024.11.29 16:40 Available_Canary_517 What will be your reaction on this issue
You have a large software in php with many tables , the app has a module to add user and configure some settings for the user , when the tester tried to add user it does not add and freeze , so he came to me and first thing i check is console where when adding user it sql error readystate 4 that column 'active_at' column not found. I just write a query to insert the column and gave to server guy , my manager started asking me why is the code not working ( for another feature where we use active_at column was tested perfectly) so i said the only reason the error could have occured is either column was never added or else it got removed, in db when server guy checks the table existed there so when i debugged i found that issue was one api was trying to insert active_at in a different table where active_at was not present so i removed the part of active_at insertion. For a good developer what should be my first reaction on this situation i think my assumption that column was removed was very wrong

2024.11.29 16:40 Ok-Payment5379 Screwed Both Ways
I purchased a pair of shorts from this Montreal-based clothing brand called From Rachel during their pre-Black Friday sale. The first pair show up through Canada Post, their usual carrier, but I ordered a size too large and had to send them back. Did that the day before the strike started. I ordered the proper size and noticed From Rachel has started using Intelcom/Dragonfly for shipping now. Well, the package was last heard from November 18th still leaving Quebec and nothing since. Finally got a refund on those damn shorts while the first pair I'm also trying to get a refund on are stuck in CA strike purgatory. Guess those comfy shorts were not meant to be and I'll need to chase them for twenty-odd dollars for the foreseeable future.

2024.11.29 16:40 DeErBareJaloux Menstruations smerter midt i cyklus
Er der andre der oplever menstruations lignende smerter midt i cyklus?
Jeg fik en positiv ægløsnings test på CD 16. Havde ægløsnings smerter i højre side på CD 18, så forventer selvfølgelig det var dagen før ægløsning. I dag er CD 21 og jeg vågnede i morges med de måske værste menstruations lignende smerter jeg nogensinde har haft. Jeg tog nogle piller så jeg kunne holde det ud, men smerterne er der stadig her til aften.
Er der andre der har oplevet det samme? Synes det er et lidt mærkeligt tidspunkt at få så ondt 🙁

2024.11.29 16:40 Zechasaur THE KID LAROI SONG WAS AN INTERLUDE!!!
Idk why its so hard for yall to understand this, we've literally known this since the listening party. DRFL literally had a whole interlude with Brent Faiyaz which was basically the exact same thing. And if your argument is that "its a sad song and shouldn't be on the album" Literally a majority of the songs are sad songs (That shouldn't have been the case, but cant really do anything bout that now), so don't act like this is the only sad song on the album.

I have looked a few times and always come across some good colone I've had in the passed but how is the quality of the dhgate stuff anyone know?
How long it lasts How close to the same smell
Also just a random question but anyone used like KLONE or ALT for dupes they are like 1of1 apparently but you can get really expensive stuff like 400-500 a bottle for like 50$ and those companies are well known not over seas or anything.

Tossing and turning over starting Bo Nix or Mahomes. Both have favorable matchups, but both scare me at the same time. Someone put me out of my misery and help me decide!

You don't need the super thick one. I bought the half inch thick sheets. It was $18 and I could make 3 signs out of it if I wanted. If you have a truck, you're good. You can leave it whole. If you don't, you'll want to cut it down to fit in your caSUV. Just don't cut it smaller than what you need for your sign.

I will ignore it but what's the point of doing this if she was the one to break it off? Like, why would she care to go through the efforts of constantly keeping a look at my account?
