Taxes

First of all, let me say this is a blessed thread. Second of all: what the fuck is it with Hobbits not reaching adulthood until their 40s even though they usually die in the 80s and 90s? Bilbo and Frodo both set out on their quests when they werw into their 50s, and Sam wasn't even married by then. By the time Eleanor had her first kid Sam would be 90 something and close to death.

Were Hobbits the original millenials?

Merry likes to think he's redpilled in this scenario, but he's actually not. He claims to be logical and educated, but he hasn't taken the final ultimate redpill. He hasn't figured out the single simple, elegant solution to the conundrum he is so proud of himself for realizing. The perfect way to avoid the "cuckolding that comes with having a daughter" is to just have sex with her yourself!

Think about it user, just make it so that you're the one to gently lay her down on her bed one night, carefully strip her naked while she stares at you with big loving eyes, and take her virginity yourself. Her innocence may fade, but such a wholesome, intimate interaction will have her bonded to you for life, she is yours and you are hers. it's undeniable that your bond will increase past anything you could ever have imagined making Merry's little "enlightened" argument look woefully hasty and rushed. It's just basic critical thinking skills really, dicking the daughteru is what any good, self-respecting father should pursue.

Hobbits have been living and investing in the four Farthings of the Shire for many hundreds of years. Quite content to ignore and be ignored by the world of the Big Banks — Middle-Earth being, after all, full of strange stocks beyond count. Hobbits must seem of little importance, being neither renowned as great traders, nor counted among the very wise.

In fact, it has been remarked by some that the Hobbits' only real passion is for hedge funds.

A rather unfair observation, as we have also developed a keen interest in the forming of credit unions, and the creation of 401Ks. But where our hearts truly lie is in steady market fluctuations, and good mutual funds. For all Hobbits share a love of funds that grow at a standard rate.

Let us invest in Moria Inc. My cousin Balin gave me a hot tip that the company is making some real breakthroughs in their mining operation.

Well technically Martin wasn't asking the question literally. It was his attempt to say that his series was more focused on the underpinnings of its world and less on a grand story. He used it as an example, not a criticism of LotR.
It is ironic that his example isn't relevant to his own series beyond like a few mentions in the first book or something.

Best thing ive ever seen out of taxposting

This is pure art. This alone is better then all those shitty got books

This meme was more born out of fat GRRM thinking himself even remotely comparable to Tolkien and implying that not ranging over the subtle responsibilities of lordship in his writing somehow made him a lesser writer. It would be like if Neil Degrasse Tyson went on an interview and said something about Einstein like "but how do photon laser swords fit in to relativity? I mean come on now".

These are some of the best threads. All this shit these last years, makes you forget that there were good movies ones, made with love and even now we remember fondly and can make hundreds of memes about, because we don't forget.

He actually does. Littlefinger's entire scheme is about borrowing more from the Iron Bank and embezzling the money to spend for his own purposes and putting the Lannister's further in debt. But as said he wasn't being literal, and he wasn't even critiquing Tolkien so much as answering the question he was explicitly given by the interviewer, which was how his works differ from Tolkeins.

He was literally asked the question about how his works differ from Tolkien. It's not his fault everybody compares the two. I get you have a hate-boner for Martin but he didn't just say the quote out of thin air.
