And he was scared of Ungoliant, and we don’t know what she is, besides nasty, and hungry, and shaped like a huge spider (well, spiders are shaped like her, probably).
(He also got his foot almost cut off by an elf in single combat and walked with a limp ever after — well, at least until he got his hands and feet cut off by the rest of the Valar, I suppose —, but elves were mighty back then.)
Yeah, I suspect he’s holding the map upside down intentionally, and that guy was far from his first victim.
Neither the Beast nor the Smiler are ignorant, conspiracy theorists, or foreign assets though (grifters and sex criminals, most definitely, I’ll give you that, especially the Smiler, but most of the City’s population seems to fit in those categories too, so in that sense they do represent their electorate).
They’re both quite competent and intelligent psychopaths.
Now, if we’re talking about the Republican Party Reservation and its associated TV show, or the vat-grown VP…
Nope. It’s cut. There’s fucking to death a couple panels from these. Someone else posted a link elsewhere in the replies.
It’s not the shire that worries me, it’s where the fuck the rces in Worcester is going…
Something like Woostuhshuh, apparently, for some reason. 🤨
Fucking bones. Inside my body. Everywhere. And my brain is trapped inside one of them. Fuck. 😖
But you still have to take steps to do it or your hand will never get better.
As someone else said in another comment a broken foot might be a better metaphor. Or a leg. Two legs even.
You’re telling people with broken feet and legs to just walk to the doctor.
No, it was democracy manifest.
Streaming is bringing unskippable ads and surveillance.
Torrents bring neither and are higher quality and more user friendly.
The internet is making things worse, not better.
No, it’s not. Before the Internet you could only watch what was on, when it was on.
Now you can torrent anything you want to watch, whenever you want to watch it, and in much higher quality than TV used to be. And, again, without ads, which TV has always been riddled with.
That’s infinitely better, on multiple metrics.
They should eat each other. It’s the only ethical choice.
Or use NewPipe if you don’t need to sync with your Google account.
murder a puppy with his bare hands
Would have to be quite a small puppy, though.
Not as much as going from coax to RJ45, or from PATA to SATA, or from PC/AT to PS/2 to USB or Bluetooth, or from D-SUB to DVI to HDMI or Display port, or from the old serial and parallel ports to USB or Bluetooth (I mainly skipped SCSI), and I sort of miss having to turn the connector 360° around for it to fit…
Worked for me so far.
The economy will be crashing anyway.
Futurama calls the current era the Stupid Ages.
As for the period between the fall of the western Roman empire and the renaissance, it’s often referred to as the Middle Ages.
When you send someone a message in some messaging system which has read confirmations (like whatsapp, for instance, or outlook), and the message is marked as read (or you receive a message read confirmation, or whatever equivalent your messaging system has), but they never actually reply, which often implies that they don’t want to (or can’t be bothered to, same difference). Whatever the case they probably don’t have as much respect for you as you have for them.
As a metaphor I suppose it can also mean doing something for someone without getting anything in return, even though reciprocation would normally be expected.
English is my third language and I had no problem understanding it (and neither did whoever or whatever is behind the account you replied to, and I’ve got them tagged as a russian — or chinese — troll bot account)…
I do wish, however, that anyone who writes “U” instead of “you” would slowly die of exploding anal cists and haemorrhoids, though, I’ll give you that.
COVID showed us that when we close the borders it’s already too late.
American avian flu will be global long before enough other governments take it seriously enough to react, because the people who should have raised the alarm (in the USA) will be too busy looking for a job, in jail, dead, or ignoring it and drinking raw milk.
