gotta say, not a huge fan of using obvious “AI” art to promote this.

Unfortunately i then lose that money from taking sick days off work

And yet when Netflix was good the amount of people who pirated went down a ton. I was on that train. Just give me a service that isn’t outrageously expensive, has most of the content i want, and is more convenient than pirating and I’ll do it, as long as i have an income.

Ooh a double reference, fancy!

Absolutely, but calling it a reference implies that it was intentional by the writer, which seems unlikely considering what he’s said about such things.

Not everything needs to have deep/real-world meaning. As i recall, Tolkien really didn’t like people ascribing such things to his writing. They’re just stories and should be treated as such.

100% agreed. It just reeks of mods thinking they own and know what’s best for the community, further exacerbated by comments like this one. They think they are the community, or at least are the reason it thrives.

I asked her about it, and she said that she won’t hijack the community from the existing team, but she’d be willing to point people to a community made alternative if it spins up. Not necessarily the decision i would have made, but i understand and respect it.

That’s a fair point, i can absolutely see Gandalf the Grey justifying with something like “there is more evil in this world than just Sauron”.

Gandalf wouldn’t even still be there, since he was only there to aid in the fight against Sauron. He’d have gone off to Valinor shortly after Sauron’s defeat, together with the rest of the elves. And there’d be no Aragorn to be a good pal and extend the good lifespans of the realms of Men, so Gondor would never get a new king and the realms of Men would likely fall to evil a bit into the third age.

Threads and light mode, no thanks

On top of the car being rented, it seems the driver loaded it up with a homemade bomb which is the reason it blew up. They also seem to have shot themselves in the car before it exploded. So this one was not in fact because of shitty engineering (though the cars are certainly shittily engineered).

There are many different flavors of christian and they are very split on the matter.

neither is jinx, but they sure are looking goth here.

Idiot is ableist?

Jesse welles is a treasure, especially love his song war isn’t murder. He’s also on spotify (and maybe other platforms, don’t know about that).

Time to see anime go back to being a niche thing for weebs only i guess

tbf they’re not fans of the non-japanese, not just whites

I’m more worried about her having mutation potions (and them working instantly, but that’s more expected), they better have a damn good reason for her body not melting
