We ladies must look desirable; the fashion styles changed to accentuate my hips and my tits, my baby making parts.

Bring back ostentatious codpieces for the dudes

I just realised Finnish doesn’t have an onomatopoetic frog sound 🤔

This implies the CIA disinfo was some kind of oopsie

The reason they’re turning random footnotes into movies or making up their own OCs like in the Amazon show is because they only have the LOTR trilogy and its appendices to work off of. The Tolkien estate made sure to keep the rights to Silmarillion, etc off limits

To be fair, the Amazon show is an entirely separate adaptation and has no relation to the Jacksonverse.

I would assume Warner Brothers would fuck him up in a different way. Judging from the quality of the writing in the Hobbit trilogy I would assume they’d turn Tom Bombadil into a stoner stereotype who also farts constantly or something

I love Ian McKellen as Gandalf but he was already noticeably older in the Hobbit movies. I can’t even imagine how distracting it would be in this train wreck since he’d be about as ancient as Christopher Lee was in his Hobbit cameo

This takes place during the 17-year time skip between Bilbo’s birthday party and when Frodo returns home to discover an agitated Gandalf in his home asking if the Ring’s safe. What, you didn’t think it felt like Gandalf going to read that diary in Gondor took 17 years??? Yeah, the movies kinda streamlined and simplified that part.

It’s wild they’re retroactively adding shit they just completely excised from the original film adaptations. What’s next, a side movie about the Hobbits encountering the barrow wights and Tom Bombadil before they reach Bree? A movie about the Scouring of the Shire?

Isn’t she a cop that works for Interpol or something

I saw a glow-worm some years ago. I thought someone had dropped a glowstick until I took a closer look

Definitely not too common in Finland

You only had to do that once? In the initial phase I just couldn’t get rid of the pop-ups for longer than one session

They also prohibited a demonstration by the progressive Jewish group Jüdische Stimme.

Explaining their reasoning on the Jüdische Stimme protest, the police told The New York Times that the demonstration was “explicitly open to participants of Palestinian origin,” and said organizers coordinated with protesters whose demonstrations were banned over concerns about antisemitic incitement.

Let’s not forget the MO Discs from Resident Evil and MGS

I’m assuming this will escalate to some insanely locked down DRM scheme. Guess I’ll enjoy uBlock, ReVanced and yt-dlp while I can

It really annoys me when I see people on bicycles or e-scooters just browsing Twitter or whatever on their phones. At least people looking at their phones in cars have a steel box around them to protect them from their stupidity

I keep expecting blurry images of protestors or human shaped blobs huddling behind cover with some kind of crosshair over them

Cringe

I had it pretty bad for several days, having to purge the cache several times but I saw no pop-ups yesterday or the day before that. Hoping that’s still the case today

In Europe it’s the Autumn of Capitalism

Apparently American Reddit has been plastered with ads from a billion-dollar Evangelical Christian campaign for months and Jewish, LGBT amd atheist users have been especially targeted

Religion and Politics were categories you could not opt out of

This was 10+ years ago, but I was surprised by how many Brits hated Top Gear when to me and a lot of other non-Brits it was just the funny British banter car show with the three cartoon characters
