My parents, my parents church, my in-laws, my sister, my wife’s friends, my old dentist, my old doctor, and several acquaintances.

So that’s like… At least 3 people.

Lmao how pathetic must your life be to wish such things over minor annoyances on a website.

Go touch grass

I take it as more “the democrats are doing nothing AFTER losing the race except ask for more money to sit on their collective asses, resign ‘in protest’,” and ultimately not solve any problem week after week.

It’s less “both sides same” and more “COME ON GET UP AND DO SOMETHING BIG AND USE TACTICS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED UNTHINKABLE 20 YEARS AGO BUT REPUBLICANS DO OPENLY BECAUSE NOBODY STOPS THEM!”

If it’s supposed to be “both sides same” then yeah, 100% “no it’s the children who are wrong”

He wasn’t willing to do the things that need to be done to save the biosphere for as many creatures as possible.

“star trek went woke”

BITCH STAR TREK WAS WOKE FROM DAY ONE GET BENT

All the teachers are injured and in need of prosthetics and assisting devices, all of them served.

As Rico’s dad said, it should be illegal to use schools as recruiting centers.

But from the Orkz perspective they’re basically just asking you to join their football game. They’re fun guys.

Different cultures I guess but in my neck of the woods, the hooligans down at the local football club don’t rip my arms off if I refuse.

Oh sorry, I just realized I’m whispering.

OI YA GIT, HUMIES AIN’T GOOD KRUMPIN’, MOST OF EMS IS TOO SMALL FER PROPPA FIGHTINZ, CEPT THE BIG BOYZ WITH THE BIG DAKKAS

Apologies.

As deegeese said, Negligent Discharge.

My bad, I tend to think people have more knowledge of obscure things than is normal, I guess.

And I’m in Ohio, so while I technically could find some bit of land to shoot on, there’s forests, fields, and cities. Anything in between is private property.

I’m exaggerating a bit, but that’s more or less how it feels.

Honestly I don’t know. Even when I point out super obvious ones, I’m “reaching to make a point”

I don’t go back, and I have no more outdoor ranges to go to that aren’t too far away.

I used to go to a childhood friends house but after I moved we kinda drifted apart so it’s weird to ask to use their backyard range.

I would love to have the property to put in at least a 100m lane and a large back stop to stop ricochets and the like. Then I don’t have to go somewhere people will whinge when I shoot more than twice a minute, and I’m not at risk of an ND coming my way.

Tau like to preach about the Greater Good (the greater good) but they’re no valiant champions of morality. Least shitty by far, though.

Orks are questionable because they do cruel things without purpose except the cruelty. It’s arguable that that’s just how they’re genetically programmed what with being artificially created and all that, like how I would argue the tyanids are the only “good” faction by virtue of being true neutral and at many stages more or less animals.

All the other factions do evil shit to whoever they feel is standing in their way, including their own people.

Honestly all the characters in that show suck. Except that one girl morty time-looped himself out of marrying. She seemed normal.

Oh and Planetina. There is only one solution to earth’s pollution.

requires like 100 psychics a day

1,000 per day. Every day. For Ten. Thousand. Years.

So you know, just a drop in the bucket, no big deal.

And to be fairrrrrrr… The emperor himself wants no religion at all, and it’s the corrupt and zealous officials that spread the “the emperor is a god” thing, he straight up destroyed a planet because a chapter of marines converted it to Emperorism once. That was before he got stuck on his death throne, obviously.

Anyone who genuinely admires ANY of the factions in 40k just doesn’t understand it.

They all suck. There are no good guys. Honestly I’d say the closest thing to good guys there are would be the tyanids, because they’re just doing what tyanids do. You don’t get mad at cows for being cows. Or wolves for being wolves. They are what they are and they do what they do. It isn’t malicious intent.

My dad legitimately thinks that’s a great action movie. And to be fair, it is.

But he doesn’t understand the deeper meanings.

More meat for the grinder is totally just a bad ass thing to say! Not at all like an orphan crushing machine, for sure.

I’ve had so many conversations come to a grinding halt while doing RC stuff, because I realize the person is not only veering the conversation to intentionally toward certain topics, they’re expressing right-wing opinions or shoving religion in my face. I’ve left RC events because they opened with a prayer, or because I’ve seen too many red hats in the crowd.

I’m sure it’s also because of the state I live in, but it’s a little disheartening to see so many people in my hobby who would gladly stone me to death in the street once the government allows it.

Also weirdly mountain biking has me fucking confused. So many magats on my trails, and it was my impression that cycling in general wasn’t as popular amongst the “anti-woke” crowd. Along with other things they view as a threat to their big metal death boxes that run on dead Dino and plant juices.

Lastly, blacksmithing. I do mostly bladesmithing, but like to try all aspects of it. This hobby is rampant with right-wing nut jobs and I’ve stopped watching MANY content creators over the years because they started making personal vlog style videos when Biden got elected bitching about how awful and hard it is to be a straight white male in America.

also target shooting but that’s a hot topic no matter which way you look, but here’s a reminder that armed minorities are harder to oppress

never partake of inebriating substances no matter what type while handling a firearm in any capacity. I’ve seen too many people at an outdoor range with a beer can beside them. This should get you banned from the premesis.

While Jackson and Co. Didn’t pull out all the stops to show time passing, they very much go out of their way to stay faithful to the written word where possible.

It seems like maybe a few weeks or months perhaps pass, if you don’t think “horses and riding to different countries is going to take longer than cars and going a few towns over/the next state” then you could think it was a few days.

All that said, Yes, I also would have liked to encounter Tom Bombadil but ultimately he is meaningless to the overall story, and would just slow down an already long movie. I would definitely watch a 5 hour cut of every part, but not very many people would.

I just pulled up the extended edition and rewatched, the entirety of “keep it secret, keep it safe” to “is it secret? Is it safe?” and those 17 years was 31:50 ish in to 36:40ish. So about 5 minutes of screen time and most of that was Gandalf travelling to/researching in minas tirith, and Frodo and the Gang having a mug at the green dragon. Given the time of year, the fact that things “look chilly” in the outside establishing shot could be taken to mean “same time of year, maybe not much time has passed”

Apogies for the keyboard vomit, I don’t get to nerd out on LOTR often.

New headcannon, that’s why Gandalf was so bothered every time Pip did something dumb, because he felt like it was a failing on his part as an ancestor.

100% confirmed.
