Surprised no one has posted “use a straw” yet. That’s definitely one of the more common ones . Weird as shit.

Big fan of this one. Do you take commissions?

We’ve definitely got blackberries and blackberry jam, but grape does tend to be the norm in a lot of areas. I prefer raspberry myself.

Can’t resist a chance to reccomend Technology Connections

I would find it difficult to believe Tolkien ever left much of anything unintentionally unexplained in Middle Earth.

I want my movie to be cast entirely with Muppets and Tim Walz.

I tend to like the interpretation that he’s Sauron’s opposite. Completely free of desire and will to dominate.

Disclaimer: not sure I would call myself a “deeply knowledgeable” LOTR nerd.

My USB cables exist in a quantum superposition where the orientation of the male end is only determined after I fail to plug it in on the first try.

Seconding this one. I was like 11 years old and it’s the first time I can remember being disappointed when getting a game. Went from like Mario 64 to OOT to Banjo to Superman 64 and hoo boy what a drop off.

The fun part about this ruling is the final answer to most of these questions is “SCOTUS decides”. Any actions they find favorable will be ignored and any actions they oppose will be considered outside of the agency’s mandate.

Catapults, just to irritate the trebuchet people.

Usually season 2. At that point the writing team has their footing but isn’t out of ideas and trying to drag it out. Most shows start going downhill in season 3/4.

Great story, thanks for sharing!

I’ve been loving Tosh Show. His guests are way more interesting than listening to comedians talk to comedians all the time. Don’t have any kids, so I find the bedtime stories at the end hilarious as well.

Ronald Regan at the end of his second term then.

I never wanted or will want kids, but wanted to chime in and say the vasectomy was super easy and way less of a pain than I expected. If my wife and I ever magically change our minds (not gonna happen) we can always adopt. There’s plenty of kids that need good homes out there if you want to be a parent but are worried about bringing new life into the world. Help the kids that are already here that have to experience the shit show of Earth.

I think corporations’ efforts to shift the view of responsibility from a collective goal to an individual one is one of the biggest problems we face. Individual action is almost never as impactful as collective action. While labor is told to take personal responsibility on individual issues, capital works collectively to consolidate power and amass more wealth. Individuals cannot shift that by themselves. “Vote with your wallet” will never lead to the substantial structural changes we desperately need.

Honestly, I’m totally cool with billionaires taking each other out. Carry on douchebags.

He has many shtoilles.
