  • Every child is different and reading is different than watching. The movies were pg-13, the books probably fit that determination as well. But when a particular child is actually “ready” has to be determined by parent and to some degree the child.

    There’s no uruk-hai hatch scene in the books at least. I read them starting at 7 or 8ish myself and don’t recall any related nightmares.








  • Oh man I tried a chess club as a kid, got to finals of the internal club (there were only like 6 of us lol) was going pretty piece for piece with the other kid then moved a pawn to set up a fork and the “ref” told me it was too late in the game to move pawns. Ended up in a stalemate (with pawns still on the board). Found out after the “ref” was his uncle. I never went back but I still enjoy chess even though my Elo is only 1200-1400 (depending on time rules).








  • When a shitty person dies it’s difficult to care about because they’ve spent years if not decades denying empathy to everyone else. Hitler, school bullies, etc to anyone affected by either would you expect them to be sad at their funeral?

    I’m not out here throwing a party but I’m not pretending some rich twatnugget I don’t know deserves the space in my brain to care.
