Fun fact: Biden is actually too old to be a boomer. So is Trump.

I still remember being dissappointed by the US when Bush became president. Then horrified when Trump won. Now I’m just scared and depressed.
Yes, by Saruman who tried to create a new Mordor.
I get why it’s not in the movies, but all the hobbits turning into absolute badasses after their homes are threatened was amazing to read.
The Shire was unprotected. Sauron is not going to waltz up to one of the last Elven strongholds because someone speaks Mordor. But he might send a bunch of orcs when someone uses it in the middle of nowhere all of a sudden.
Drug abuse is a family tradition!
I, for one, welcome our inevitable AI overlords.
Yep, it’s not the planet’s first mass extinction rodeo. A few hundreds of thousands of years, and it’ll be right as rain again. Humanity will very likely just be a distant memory then.
He shouldn’t make it about himself? Has Karl Rove even met Trump? He’s the posterchild for untreated, raging narcissism.
It’s like saying Biden should come in skating and say “hello, fellow kids!”
Which they made bigger in Jurassic Park, so that’s actually proving the point. A bigger raptor species was only discovered after the first movie.
While that is certainly true, I worry about the fact that almost nobody cares about getting Covid anymore. Long Covid is still a thing and can basically destroy your life, the risk of getting it not really decreasing with each infection (you are basically rolling the dice each time). There is also the fact that Covid infections decrease intelligence even if you didn’t get long Covid.
Voting is like having a log of shit in each hand and deciding which one will taste better.
Not-voting is having to eat the shit someone else chose.
“While falling, McKellen could be heard to exclaim ‘Fly, you fools!’” (I do hope he recovers fully though.)
We’re almost at the “Brawndo” level of Idiocracy.
Pft, clearly reality just has a liberal bias!
My favourite description under a picture of the two in a (German) newspaper read (paraphrased): Civil right’s attorney Amal Clooney and her husband, an actor.
The least plausible thing is Trump being able to talk in sentences (or even being alive) in 2030.
Hitler’s Germany has shown you only really need about a third of the people to be behind fascism for it to succeed (Hitler won with 35 percent of the popular vote). In the US, it looks like that percentage has already been reached.
Well, at some point, it will work, when there’s no one left on both sides to start again.
I agree and I would even say that a crucial moment in Return of the King works better in the theatrical version and should be experienced first like this. (The arrival of the pirates to the battle of Minas Tirith.)
Plus, a lot of them got Covid without a vacchine and that disease attacks your nervous system and can shave of between 3 to 6 IQ points with each infection. So they are likely even dumber now than they were before Covid.
