sucks to lose but winners do what they want

Flights that go to certain countries or that members of certain countries fly through tend to be exceptionally dirty. You know who you are, fam. I’ve been on emirates flights that look like a trash tornado hit them after a 15 hour flight. Be neat!

i think Kanye was trying to make something like this — the slaves would all be white, iirc

this is true but the dwarf lady was actually one of the best castings in the show

I wouldn’t have given it 1-star maybe 3-4/10. The visual effects, costumes, landscapes are incredible, it may be worth watching for those alone. Everything else is basically syfy tier garbage. The whole point of LOTR was that it was this quixotic tale of good vs evil where the good guys were incredibly faithful to their quest and to each other (aside from boromir). It had this almost childlike idealism but you wanted it to be real and to believe and it somehow felt plausible. It was incredibly well written.

This show didn’t have the source material to pull dialogue from and so they come up with these ridiculous boat and rock analogies that are laughably stupid. Aside from that, most of the show is boring. The entire second episode for Galadriel was pointless. The hobbits are annoying, the soap opera romance between the Persian girl and the black elf is excruciating, really the dwarves are the only fun and well acted part of the episode.

The elves have no majesty. In LOTR, the elves were always this demigod-like beings who move and act with supernatural grace but in this they just seem like rich people.

It just isn’t LOTR

a study of people putting status symbols on online avatars made them less likely to be cooperated with to perform menial tasks is what it actually says

“Science”

are you suggesting that they could bully others with the law?

Bullying is a part of reality. I see people bully others in offices for every company I have ever worked with and at, whether it’s passive aggressive slights, framing, etc.

You’re never going to get rid of it entirely because humans are an inherently hierarchical species and bullying is a method of establishing hierarchy and dominance.

While trying to punish going over board may be a good thing, this whole “let’s all hold hands and sing cumbiyah” and get rid of bullying is nonsense.

No two people are the same, if one is smarter or stronger than the other, the lesser competitor will use tactics like bullying or social engineering to try to establish dominance. Strong competitors use it as well to disinvite challengers. We reward this at every level of our society so to pretend that it’s evil in children is really preparing them for being dysfunctional when they become adults.

The true solution to getting bullied is to:

- fight back ferociously

- get them to bully someone else

- take it and be a loser

I got bullied a lot when I was a kid, I had to learn to be tough

How come you never show them the evidence? Is it because it lets the lawyers concoct a story?

I don’t get it; they lost a ton when they banned Russia but if you take that out they did get subscribers overall. Oversold?

Strongly disagree. While “alter ego” helps short term it just delays the reckoning and imposter syndrome for later and leads to identity issues and confusion. Take the hard path in the present and watch it get easier later

If they succeeded, you wouldn’t know about them

Another thing: what were the scores? If the 2x watchers got a 70 instead of a 50 does that really help? In college I was trying to get As not Cs

On real estate and the Roman Empire. If i listened to a math or cs lecture at 1.5-2x id be finished

I don’t see what Assange really showed me that I didn’t know from reading most anything else before his leaks. Your post is highly politically motivated, I’m not emotional about this, just thinking rationally. I agree that the US has overextended its military and is involved in a lot of conflicts and operations that seem very irrelevant and poorly reasoned. I want a revamp of the military industrial complex and a change to entrenched, unaccountable bureaucracy. I don’t think any of those things have anything to do with Assange however, and I don’t see any connection between them
