If this trailer were canon, it would date the games - that’s Mount Doom on fire, it was dormant until a few years after Sauron’s return to Mordor, T.A. 2954

There WASN’T any power in Middle Earth left to make new rings. Because Celebrimbor wasn’t around. Now? He’s... um quite literally the definition of “fading magic of the old world”.

This is the belief of several in-universe figures, and many people here argue for it based on Saruman’s failure - for surely, Saruman of all people had the power?

But it takes more than power to forge a ring - otherwise there would be hundreds from the mythic ages of the past.

The game timeline is ambiguous - it may well be before Sauron returns to Mordor, which makes him less of an all-seeing eye and more of a fleshless form recuperating in Mirkwood - a spirit who can’t even see the One Ring passing within a few miles of him when Bilbo strolls through during the Hobbit.

Ah yes, Middle Earth, a universe where famously only the most obviously qualified people succeed at tasks they set their mind to...

The spirit can’t be forced to Mandos, and may remain. Not all those who do are evil, according to Christopher Tolkein in Morgoth’s Ring.

Debatable - Christopher Tolkein disagrees. Summarised from Morgoth’s Ring:

“read books like the Silmarillion”

Well we might point out that power is a thing

Being scared as a child doesn’t give you issues - but being unable to deal with stressful situations that are not serious is an important life skill.

that is in fact why we wear our hair like that

The role of zoos in conservation, particularly captive breeding programs for endangered species, is serious, valuable, and not funded by anything other than zoo admissions. This does not apply to seaworld.

This is a weird fact. I did some investigation and the most likely explanation recreationally seems kind of fantastic - apparently triptans are close to dmt, a popular recreational drug, chemically speaking. If someone wants to make dmt, there are easier methods - unless someone has discovered a specific reagent…

I mean... A lot of trans people are happy

You should be careful what you wish for - this man has access to nuclear weapons to use in revenge...

Maybe don’t call it a psychosis, because psychoses don’t make you an asshole

Do you really not see the difference between making a song about being gay at the expense of actually gay artists and showing up to support women at a March?

Wait you think respecting a dead man’s wishes and his actual identity, rather than his skin colour, is “manufactured outrage”?

“they” is a large group with many views. Some believe that it’s the fault of immigrants themselves. Some though, definitely blame Jewish people - this idea is commonly linked to the conspiracy theory of “cultural Marxism”, which claims that a Jewish elite fostered immigration as a way of annihilating the white race.
