I still can't stop but think how stretched out the Hobbit films were, for an otherwise short book. That's a sin that stains forever with me. The Lord of the Rings films, do have their own flaws, but they're fairly contained and can be debated as to whether they were good or not. I have so much trouble excusing anything with the Hobbit though.

And I hope we never, ever see anyone tackle The Silmarillion. Simply because, there will be so much improvised fluff in that would-be film, that it'd make the Hobbit films blush.

Mine is evaluated based on how many of them were there for me when I was at my lowest. It'd be unfair for me to evaluate them based on communication, because then that'd mean that everyone would be gone, so that'd be unfair. I also don't think evaluating people based on what they gift you or do for you is adequate either. So, yeah, I think the clear line basis of me removing a friend is about sheer balance.

I don't like friendships that are just unrealistic. Where they want only and nothing but the best from you and for you. Friendships are about enduring someone's worst and figuring it through too. If you just push someone away all of the time and leave them in dormancy where their mind tends to wander into places it shouldn't. That's one of the worst things a friend can do and it can also include up to things like not talking to them just for a check up every now and then.

So again, if more friends have let me down or dropping the ball, then that's probably my reason.

Aww, couldn't live with the consequences? Too bad...shouldn't have done what you did.

Without this man, there'd be no System Shock or a Thief series or rather in the way that they've been.

I would've said the same thing. I mean, Trump has been spending every single day, rallying his voterbase for years, to commit violence among those he and they themselves, do not like. ICE has been treated like his personal modern day gestapo. I too wish that that the shooter didn't miss, would've saved millions in America so much hassle, trouble, stress and division.

I still have, in my little nostalgia cash box, a Nokia phone from the early 2000s that has Nokia Bowling on it. Doesn't have an adapter, but I'm not letting that phone go.

Being able to clear all notifications. It's a basic-sounding feature, strangely isn't implemented.

"Why do we have to suck like this? Can't we just stop the bullshit and realize who our real enemies are?"

Reddit never listens to appeals, so I'm not wasting my time. But thanks.

No, not without sacrificing a welfare program or something else.

Because it'll be a hard sell to have UBI on top of WIC, SNAP, SSI, Unemployment and other welfare. Something would have to go.

"I bought a brand today!"

"Woah! So did I!"

"I'm so happy this brand has made my life!"

"Yeah! So it has mine!"

Fucking riveting stuff there.

Yesterday, I got off a 3-day ban where I said in reply to a comment about how I said "it should have taken him too" in regards to how it looked like RFK Jr had a stroke in an image of an article. So that was 3 days ban, uncontested. Then, just under an hour ago, I got a 7-day ban for an inoffensive comment similar in vein.

So I guess it's a no-no to talk of "leaders" of departments who condemn people's lives to suffering by ill advice and beliefs. Talk about bending that knee, Reddit. The place has been utter shit. I'm probably going to end up getting a permanent ban when I return when I shit on another right-wing politician.

Yeah, yeah, neg me all you want. I don't care of your feelings. I've learned that it's okay to let politicians dick the lives of millions around up to and including unaccounted deaths. But a little wishful stroke to one politician is "wrong".
