It’s not a good sign when a supreme court justice openly associates with violent insurrectionists, is it?
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 5 days ago:
Money is only necessary in a capitalist society. The reconciliation as you put it would be a socialist society.
- Comment on How can I create an alter ego for publishing stories? 5 days ago:
The term you’re looking for is pseudonym. An alter ego has a different personality.
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 5 days ago:
Oh absolutely. Consider how inflation and the cost of living rise faster than the average wage.
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 6 days ago:
People want purpose. Most people are too inept to grasp greater purposes, so rewarding them with ornate paper slips keeps them placated.
- Comment on Does it seem odd to track my lifespan? 6 days ago:
I’d rather be weird than normal.
- Comment on Am I supposed to ask stupid questions here, or *not* ask stupid questions? 6 days ago:
You ask questions here that you might feel stupid asking; questions you figure most people probably know, but you haven’t figured out.

Thank you, was going to request this

According to tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Blue_Wizards the later writings retconned this, and they arrived in Middle-Earth around the same time as Glorfindel.

Uh, weren’t the blue wizards around in the 2nd age?
- Comment on Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape 1 week ago:
No, if I had assumed that, it would be baffling, not funny.
- Comment on Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape 1 week ago:
There’s much precedent for that kind of feature in other games. Why should having online in a PD reboot be any harder than Halo, CoD, Fortnite etc?
- Comment on Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape 1 week ago:
Kinda funny that a larger team with better tech struggles to recreate what a smaller team with more limited tech did 25 years ago
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 week ago:
A table with 11 people, including a nazi, is a table with 11 nazis.
Don’t compare choosing to not sit at that table with the bullshit republicans do.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 week ago:
I do hate them, but I’m secure enough that I don’t need to make adversarialism my identity.

Oh yeah, The Marvels. I meant to see that but forgot. Not many reminders on Lemmy I guess.

Who said more mad? Maybe OP didn’t have evidence against the gf.
- Comment on Anon is vengeful 2 weeks ago:
That’s a stretch.
- Comment on Movie lines people laughed at in theaters despite not actually being intended to be funny? 2 weeks ago:
The times that this has happened to me weren’t serious moments that tickled me wrong, they were sophisticated references that only I got (or others were just quieter). I couldn’t give you a specific example but it’s happened at least twice.

Bawling* fyi
- Comment on What’s one miscast role that irks you in an otherwise perfect film? 3 weeks ago:
He plays creepy pedophile/rapist pretty well though
- Comment on What’s one miscast role that irks you in an otherwise perfect film? 3 weeks ago:
BDT would have been much more interesting. I liked the movie, but BC was a bit odd of a choice.

Anon wakes up or something
- Comment on Most obscure movies you've ever seen? 3 weeks ago:
Not counting the ones made by family members, Forbidden Zone.
- Comment on Does middle name on plane ticket gave to match passport? 3 weeks ago:
You shouldn’t have any trouble. If they have a protocol to flag that kind of thing, they’ll resolve it by confirming the name on the card that bought the tickets, not turn you away.
- Comment on What side do you open a banana from? 3 weeks ago:
I use the same method for the same reason but prefer no green, instead with small brown spots (no big ones) indicating ideal ripeness for me.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
The topic at hand, to which I was responding, was whether or not anyone else was hurt.
- Comment on What would happen if every atom on earth was to simultaneously double in size? 4 weeks ago:
Are we talking about electron distance from nucleus doubling, or protons, neutrons and electrons doubling in size too?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
The presence of fire in a place not designed for it is a threat to the safety of others.
Maybe nobody was hurt, but if the authorities had neglected to put him out, and then someone WAS hurt, that would be on them. So, best to put him out. He can deal with the consequences of his actions.

Why would this story compel anyone back into the closet?
