Lets be honest. A significant portion (not all, so please, random reader of my comment, don’t feel the need to list all the reasons you personally don’t like the show) want Dwarves and Elves that aren’t Black and women who aren’t competent fighters.

I think a lot of people enjoyed it but some of those who didn’t chose to be very loud about it for clicks and likes.

Stories in whatever format do not need to be all action all of the time; just because a minority of people are expecting an explosion, a new plot event or character revelation every thirty seconds does not mean that storytellers need to cater to that. There is much to be said for building a world slowly (especially a…

It was a great show, imo. I’m not sure what people want in a show like this. It was gorgeous and well acted.

If anything, the die-hard Tolkien fans I’ve known have said the exact opposite: “Don’t they know these events are all decades apart?”

I don’t know how anyone can call themselves a fan of Tolkien’s work and complain about a story being a slow burn.

I don’t mind saying I enjoyed the first season more than most. I’m looking forward to the second season too.

Your logic became really popular during the pandemic and I really don’t understand why people cling to it so strongly. If covid killed someone with a weakened immune system, they still died of covid. What are you gaining from claiming a person who is medically vulnerable didn’t die of the thing that obviously…

The cause was the chip. Without the chip he would have not died. Not really misleading..

Dorsey’s opposition to moderation is straight up idiotic. Nobody wants to be in a community without any sort of moderation, or at least nobody else wants to be in a community with the people who want that.  Like if a physical store didn’t kick people out for crapping in the aisles, then that would be a store that…

It’s pretty good for news type folks. Lots of the people I use to follow are on there now, both reporters and respected experts. And with Bluesky’s mod tools, they’re much more likely to engage with you if that’s your thing because its easier for them to get rid of trolls.

Twitter with moderation is a pretty ringing endorsement for Bluesky imo.

Bluesky is fine, there’s just not enough people there. They just need to make it an exact Twitter clone with the features renamed, so everybody can use it the same. If everybody just switched over from Twitter, we could all tell Muskrat to kick rocks and it would turn into Parlor in no time

Dorsey is such a tool. As his choice of who he’s following illustrates.

Yikes. 

There are only 3000 of them on the road and the litany of problems is pretty remarkable. Even assuming a lot of people are coming down hard on it because it’s a stupid truck, and a Tesla, it still seems like it’s disproportionate

Ask them if they’d trade places with someone of another race and the same economic status. Even they know. 

When you discover the limit of your white privilege...

Yup nothing makes a white guy angry like them being treated like they treat a non white guy. It is instructive.

White boys mad they are being treated the way they demand not white people be treated and are somehow mad. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“But these differences seem to be largely influenced by a person’s body size and composition…”
