50% chance it’s Rin.

For those of us who need to do research to get this joke, I already did it. They mean Rubicon River (which is no longer in the north, so don’t look for it there, it’s on the opposite side of the knee).

I think I had this book as a kid.

– You can’t scare me with this Nazgul crap. I know my rights. I want my 2nd breakfast.

Tell me, Mr. Baggins*, …

That’s a shame there aren’t any players any more.
I’m a patient gamer, too. I almost never buy games at full price. But I try to strike a balance with online(-ish) games. Some experiences you just can’t have once a game with an online aspect isn’t popular anymore.

Dang, you’re patient. I played this back on PS3. Does it even have online players anymore? They are an integral part of the experience, IMO.

That only works with John Cena.

You liar! There he is in the post image!

– Pumba, I’m telling you, this guy doesn’t have any bugs!
– Don’t give up, Timon!

He’s not illiterate, he’s just too cool to care about that nerd stuff.

I checked the video and found the comment. Commenting about using Linux on that video is the equivalent of finding a turkey recipe and commenting “No thanks, I’m a vegan” on it. Then why did you open this video?!

Sure. But the original statement is just as dull. Assuming no specific context.

Ultimately, both of those commenters are annoying. Saying “I use Arch btw” is a useless self-serving statement that provides no benefit or information to the audience. But engaging with that message in the manner displayed is also pointless and stupid, even if the statement is correct.
The saving grace for the “Linux user” commenter is that they are self aware about being annoying, judging by their last comment. So hopefully they were just being ironic. Or rage baiting.

I use(d) Arch, btw.

Yeah, which is why I have “voluntarily” in italics.

I totally understand the overall ridiculousness of this, but I suspect that “mandatory” and “voluntary” apply to 2 different people in this case. Person 1 has a “mandatory shift” and person 2 is supposed to voluntarily cover that person’s mandatory shift.

The “hand sign associated with StarTrek” is called the Vulcan salute 🖖.
And the phrase “Resistance is futile” is also regularly used on the show, repeatedly uttered by the Borg on every encounter, preceded by “You will be assimilated”.

Some unsolicited trivia for you.

In Minecraft, right?

What about bears and beets? No, I mean, that other 3rd thing that follows them.
