Nerd rage incoming. From a Tolkien devotees point of view this is just painful. Galadriel is one of the most powerful and oldest Elves in Middle Earth who saw the light of Aman with her own eyes. A lone Nazgul would RUN at the mere sight of her in wrath. Bad fanfic.
I woke up feeling a bit under the weather.
This is the first thing that I see.
So I was right. The fight choreography is still abysmal. Also, Galadriel getting btfo by a Nazgu.....sorry.....nAsnOlguL. Man, I should take my wife's advice. This looks just as terrible (if not worse) than the previous seasons.
Sure, they're assholes - but a part of me feels bad for the men who post shit like this: apparently they've never experienced love before and confuse it with lust.

Nope. The greatest humiliation the Republican party ever suffered was self-inflicted and it was making a narcissistic asshole fraud with the emotional maturity of a five-year-old president. Twice.

This is one of the best and worst accounts out there. Tons of fascinating insights - and at the same time planting crude race science and unabashed glp-1-propaganda. I probably shouldn't follow, but there's too much good stuff. But follow with care.

Hachja. Anderswo bringen selbstfahrende Autos schon Passagiere ans Ziel und Raketen landen, in unserem schönen Kakanien dürfen Wiener Taxler keine Passagiere am Flughafen Schwechat abholen.
Tu felix Austria leges fer.
Neue Crazy-Story vom Taximarkt: Neue Praxis schränkt den ohnehin kaum vorhandenen Wettbewerb weiter ein. Spannend auch hier: Woher kommt die staatliche Bürokratie? In Wahrheit steckt dahinter ein Revierkampf der Unternehmen. Hier entlang zur Story: derstandard.at/story/3000000…

Arbeiten, Gesetze achten und Rechte anderer respektieren ist also das "Premium-Paket" und nicht die Grundlage unseres Zusammenlebens und unserer Gesellschaft.
"Warum rennen die Leute zur FPÖ?"
I'll never get how a generation whose parents lived in the shadow of imminent NUCLEAR ARMAGEDDON and whose grandparents lived through a WORLD WAR still feels it's living through particularly hard times. Childhood in the 90s in the West was prbly the most sheltered there ever was.
Millennials realizing they’ve lived through 2 economic recessions, 9/11, a global pandemic, 8 stock market crashes, their jobs being replaced by AI, and probably WW3 before hitting 43

Bureaucracy is going to be the downfall of Europe. Strangling so many great ideas and businesses in their cradle.
so frustrating to read that austria is defending bureaucracy.
europe is already losing.
how short sighted can you be to defend a few professional rubber stampers?
EU Inc is an important step towards finally easing the burden of founding a company.
and what does austria do?

The Middle East's hope still lies in Iran. Once that terror regime falls a truly new Islamic world might arise.
Tja, wenn man einen Mann mit dem Charakter eines Mafiabosses ins Weiße Haus wählt, überrascht es nicht, dass die Mafia im Weißen Haus sitzt.
“The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account.
What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man”

Definitely, but to me there's more to it. It's a bit scifi and fantasy as well, reading about people with completely "alien" mindsets - and yet there's this common human experience always shining through the veil of history. Jealousy, joy, love, ambition, anger. Beautiful.
The best reason to read ancient history isn't to memorize dates. It is to realize that human nature hasn't changed at all. The arrogance, jealousy, power struggles, and public anxiety we experience on screens today were all documented thousands of years ago.
