Hey. I can relate.

I'm old enough to remember when wanting to ask for a free cigarette (I forget in which country I was) was:

Can I please bum a fag?

Use that phrase now and someone will do a monkeypox joke.

God, i can barely remember the last time i had a proper vacation, and didn't just spent two weeks at home recovering my fried brain.

I empathize. It's amazing how sometimes a Staycation -or even a mental health vacation- is more needed than an actual vacation with travel. I hope you get a chance to unfry but also to get a proper vacation at some point too

Disney+ was so in need of subscription padding they ran a promotion in Spain where they gave 100%FREE 50" smartTVs(they gave other things too, but that was the right choice) in exchange for having a 3 years 100% FREE subscription to Disney+ added to your TV package for almost all providers.

I remember seeing this on Twitter at least couple years ago. I thought it turned out to be bullshit.
It was a cable provider partnership that got you 3 years of Disney+ or a TV. (which just happened to have Disney+ streaming pre-installed)

I'm against inclusion. More specifically I'm against inclusion for inclusion sake. It just give us low quality goods for no good reason at an increased price.

@ccxvidonaferens Come on, don't be lazy, reply and throw your rhetoric to my face until you prove I'm objectively a bad person or change my opinion with hard facts, don't just facepalm and run!

I agree with you on that, it is a real pity that those kind of series have become the norm nowadays with the House of the rainbow mouse being the major supporter of that.

I have no rhetoric to throw. I can already tell that no matter what I say will not change your mind or opinion, as I would imagine you also suspect the same regarding me. Therefore why bother engaging in a series of posts that will ultimately get us nowhere. I'd rather just cut that Gordian knot right through and let us both get on with our day. We can have different views and opinions without screaming at each other. It's just too exhausting. So truce?

But where is the fun in that?
But fine, if that is what you want

Damn, it sucks having a job that I have to do for money, I could have been here egging you guys on!

I remember watching episode 7,8,9 and thinking that it was some kind of fanfiction made movie, it has one of the most ridiculous premises of this new generation of movies with rey being a Mary Sue that surpassed sith that have being trained for most of their life by some of the most powerful beings in the universe with only a 15 minute trainingmontage, but the thing that I remember the most is wanting to edit the part when rey destroys the enemy fleet with her powers in the last movie, so that she shouts "White Power" as the enemy fleet is blasted to oblivion in the most posible meme way and then watch the world burn.

It all honesty, Disney has become a cesspool of wokism and ultra feminism that at this point just want to ruin every movie posible for the heck of it.

Ooooooh, don't cut yourself on that edge, sweetie.

Same men, I really wonder how it is posible to throw so much money down the drain in several movies and series that have been a rotund failure and don't have a care in the world, especially with Disney being the kind of company that sued an school trying to collect money by playing some of their old princess movies.

I understand your point, but Disney is a company that needs to generate earnings so that their investors are happy, and taking into account that they have either lost money or generated so little to be considered profitable, I don't understand why the keep pushing the same agenda that is not really working for them.

So it is either that the don't care for wherever reason, that what I said on my previous post is not so far of, or that I'm not seeing something in the equation, but as you said is only my opinion.

It's actually a secret third thing.
They make TONS OF FUCKING MONEY on every Star Wars and Marvel project.
So, whether or not you think they didn't generate enough money, they did.
The Rise of Skywalker made over a billion. The Acolyte had 11 million views in 5 days.
The streaming stuff has never been 100% clear on a profit level, but I assure you, it's profitable.

I don't really care about the culture wars in the media world. I just want good stuff.
I welcome women and different races and gays and transexuals in more media. Because why not? To protect some douche's precious feelings? Don't care.

But, it's folly to think that crying about black Little Mermaid or lady Jedi is anything but stupid.
And, if you did cry about black Little Mermaid or lady Jedi, you should feel stupid because you are stupid.

Any other other series I would say read it first. But I can't stand how Tolkien writes,so my vote goes the the extended trilogy on this one.

More than one thing annoyed me in Hobbit, but since it were more than a decade ago, I don't remember. But one thing I do remember is that he kept spoiling his own story, like "the dwarf said goodbye to the bird saying they wouldn't met again, but he were wrong as the bird later saved him from a fall from the mountain" or whatever.
But I've heard many people say that Hobbit is written very differently from LotR, so that's why I'm not opposed to at least trying it.

If you don't want to know the way the stories actually unfold, then don't read the books - the movies, while well done, leave out some essential chapters and change the relationships and actions for "dramatic effect". Just did a reread after nearly 40 years and am now a little bit down on the movies. Some of the stuff wasn't as bad as The Hobbit movies (characters and story lines from whole cloth), but Tolkien is definitely worth the read if you want to experience the fantasy series that has been the inspiration for so many of the series that have followed. Some of it is a bit goofy, but the folks that tend to not like his writing are those that don't like deep descriptive writing, but only want things to go straight to a point. I like to paint an image of the surroundings of the books I read in my head - Tolkien's writing allows you to do that.

EDIT: Of course, be aware that Tolkien was writing the books more than 80 years ago (published about 70 years ago), when some words retained their original meanings. So, don't get offended if he talks about a gay atmosphere or throwing a couple of faggots on the fire

Do you think it's better to watch it and then maybe read it?
Like I said above, it weren't because of that that I didn't like it, and I think the writing style is different between works.
I like to know descriptions of the characters and places, but I've heard that in Les Misérables there are multiple pages descripting a single column of the cathedral. I think I wouldn't like that level of descriptiveness. Hahaha

Hi guys how everyone doing I'm been busy with work have any of you heard about the new bullshit with Apple is doing to patron if you have not heard then after November if you sub to patron using IOS you get tax an extra 30%

 

[Safetydummy]

lol. well...??? haha long time ago. kinda
Yes it is in perfect condition. He is a pc tech and got it when it was not work and trashed out. He told everyone he will fix it but they laughed at this idea. he took everything apart and rebuilt to the spec of those early/middle 1980s Apple pc. It have lot of floppy disk stuff and I think needs a flopy disk to boot up. No idea about the floppy disk size. its the very old large size. I think. sorry i don't even know about them really. it is literally floppy disk. I think newer ones was much smaller and in plastic case? I forgot what exactly they are in size. He also have one of first IMB pc also. its actually amazing to see these things. I told him I want his old game consoles ect.. You are right, they are very rare to even see those old Apple pc. its very cool. He even asked me for my old Sony Laptop. It is dead but ehh guess he love those things to try and fix or part out.
Yeah, I feel it is scam in a way but then again, new tech and new AI ect.. Guess it is how it is and it is interesting what they bring out next. I know part of my mind thinks its bit scam because how much it all cost but ok, just how it is. My pc will soon need to be upgrade/rebuild because it is the 4 to 7 year time limit lol.

Well, it might be worth a couple bucks- the fact that he's fixed/replaced parts might reduce the value. It's kind of like old, vintage cars. The car might be worth money, but if you've done any body or engine work and added aftermarket parts...it's technically not "original".
IF the disc is about the size of a 45 record (yes I said 45 record...) and is literally "floppy"- then it's 5 1/4" disk.
What old game consoles does he have? Neo-Geo, Sega Saturn, Turbo Grafix16?
I have a feeling if he could resurrect an Ooold Mac- he could probably save your Sony laptop.
Yeah, I should upgrade..., but it's a royal pain-in-the-ass to migrate/export data to a new laptop- if there's new or incompatible FAT...I'm throwin' stuff. Especially, with all those hidden Ren'Py directories that are created with each new game.

well, Ima watch the movie for 100% now. I like Samuel L Jackson. he is one of Bollywood (I call this to Hollywood lol) best actors and he can actually act not like some. I never seen a bad movie with him in it.

You've never seen a bad movie with him? Let me make you a list...

Yes it will solve many problems. Just dont use on animals and especially humans or it will solve one problem but cause much worst one.

You're presuming they find "evidence"...of a crime or body...

yes this is true and don't feel it is a bad thing. Actually a good thing.
ehh depends my mood lol
well, i am here for porn. Im a depraved sick twisted vampire creature and just love to see naked females, although... the furry are something new to me, but to be honest, it is fun and funny. I stayed because.. why not? No one here told me to go away yet. Lol.
How did you come bye LC?

Sentimentality isn't a sign of weakness. I think it's the opposite.

You seem to have a pretty chill mood- at least here.

I think that's why most of us are here- but I think we've all discovered a little bit more with these folks.
I've picked up 1 or 3 or 8 new "kinks" just visiting LC.

I've been here for years, but only as a Gamer. Then they required log-ins, so I joined. THEN they did the "member+" thing, so I just kinda commented/quoted as many games as I could... SOMEHOW I think I clicked a link for one of "MTelly's" threads for clothed cute lols (and they were adorable). I think I made 1 or 2 comments (maybe) and then Xlax kinda helped me get to P1 (after he told me about P1). Then VND invited me into "FruitStrips" Faerie thread. I started "back-reading" from page 1 of the 7K thread and some people started talking back to me and responding, building up my LC Coins...and then Conzi "splooshed" me over the top into P4. AND here I am?
For whatever reason- I'm still here. j/k (Y'all know why.)
(Thank you to all the people that I mentioned AND to all y'all that I didn't mention.) Ya know I loves ya!

How'd you end up here/find this place?

You stole my GIF I see.. lol. mmmmm????

Did you expect anything else? I have "yoinked" other gifs from you too... You ARE responsible for my pfp. Remember?

well, you old old man. Must be time for you to now upgrade to more modern tech Windows 10 is much better. Just ask Bill Gates. his company loves to give free bloatware and spyware lol. I wonder... actually.. do those old pc like you was talking about able to even be used for internet these days? I imagine they cant sadly, but it would be cool to see

Really? "Old man"? *sigh* You're just lucky I like you.
I'm running Win10 now, because I'm still hearing Horror stories about 11... I usually wait until I'm "forced" to upgrade... either against my will or...

mmmm maybe we can team up liike the old days and just have some fun...

I love the thought of a kitten with a sniper rifle. I say we sow the seeds of discord and let the world tremble in our wake. I'm in.
I would have said "Chaos", but I think Monokuma's trademarked it.

Hi guys how everyone doing I'm been busy with work have any of you heard about the new bullshit with Apple is doing to patron if you have not heard then after November if you sub to patron using IOS you get tax an extra 30%

I just saw that not 20 minutes ago from a developer I follow on Discord. Of course, I also just saw where a number of big developers just got their Patreon accounts under review. The Patreon team went on the other major site we know and found the fan made incest patch and used that to freeze their Patreon. Ironically, the developer doesn't even post on that other site but he's getting hit for a fan patch. Admittedly, I'm certain he designed his game to be patched in that way, but still!

That's stupid. Is there even much of a benefit for apple doing that since most people probably own a separate device they could just sub on

Not quite that descriptive, but it will take a couple of lines to describe a type of tree found only in the Elven Kingdom of Lothlorien, and similar types of things.

The books are a medium level read for a decently educated English speaker, so you can get through all three in a week or so if you read a couple hours a night. It helps to know a few of the differences between "British" English (Tolkien's English) and American English, if American English is what you know.

One amusing part of my reread: after having seen the movies so many times, I was able to put the voices of the actors to the various characters and use the actors when envisioning the characters in the book. If you would like to be able to do that, watch first, then read. The books have more story to them than the movies, and have additional characters playing important roles that aren't in the movies; likewise, some of the characters in the movies play a greater role than in the books.

While I think that everyone that is a fan of Tolkien from one direction or the other should both read the books and watch the LotR movies, I'm torn on what direction one should go. I normally suggest books first, but, in this case, movies first wouldn't be a bad way to go, especially since you already have them.

Fun fact: Sea wife was just another term for the other filth ridden pirate a disgusting pirate would fuck during a sea voyage.
When you hear @Bloodheart talk about his 'sea husband' now you know what it means

Nice art!!

But only the Drunken Goose really speaks to the dentist theme....

It's what he deserves when he goes to the dentist.
Preferably by a hairy bull cock, though.
Oops, I meant 'minotaur'

catch up on what is current and join us in engaging. the past pages are not going anywhere

Fuck, I gotta stop quoting so many people, I only had 10 pages to catch up before!

Once I download the extended trilogy and was ready to watch it, but them I got lazy, and never went back to it...
I do want to watch it someday, or since I never watched it, you think it would be nice to read it with that "first time" mind? Without knowing anything? I have a Kindle, so I could put it to a good use.

Watch the movies first unless you are an avid book reader.
The extended edition movies are long, but very good.
The books are very long and filled with lots of deep lore. It's hard to navigate if you have no idea what some stuff is.
I had the physical books with a little encyclopedia and map in each one, so you could follow along while reading

Bored. I was sitting in the bank while the wife was talking retirement savings. *yawm* important, but I figure I'll be able to afford to retire about 3 week after I drop dead.
