    I can’t add a whole lot to what’s already being said. But I have to ask. Did no one read the LoTR? Tolkien was a believer of benevolent Monarchy, and rejected political plurality. Closer to authoritarian really, with a lot of sugar added.

    So the meme bugs me in one more way. Isildur was in fact a better choice, whether he could or could not defeat sauron. There was no other choice middle earth would rally under the banner of. And because people supported him despite imperfections, Aragon got the chance with his allies to fight another day and win.

    🎶 I don’t want to live in Middle Earth no more

    I don’t want to die in this One Ring war

    I want to sail off to Valinor

    And make like an Elf Man 🎶










  • Only fans is an MLM scheme, and watching “content creators” brag about how awesome it is to groom the next generation is… At least ick.

    Nothing wrong with sex work, as any work, when done within a healthy ecosystem. But it is still a very murky area due to the very nature of human sexuality. The lines can get blurred very easily. Not as bad as Wall Street though. That’s where the real abuse is.



  • I wasn’t a great cook by any means in college but I grew around a lot of spices. And apparently all the kids loved my cooking. They bought food and washed dishes any time I mentioned I would cook. I felt guilty because all I was doing was adding spices (oh they chopped as well, though I was the only one who could mince garlic and ginger right). But they loved it. I got free food most of college that way.
