  • Mine just "forgets" that i have songs downloaded over time until i go online, so my playlist will effectively gradually shrink. And then as soon as i go online they're instantly available and downloaded again...

  • Google says it will stop serving political ads in the EU
  • Agreed, "to vague" just opens the door for abuse. Either for a zealous court to apply the law outside of what was intended or for a lenient court to let those who should be convicted slip through the cracks.

  • JD Vance says US could veto NATO if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms
  • Intelligence is not a binary thing. There's loads of people in academia that are very good at the specific thing they study but are absolute morons about near everything else. Just because someone has a degree in business or whatever that does not mean they know jack shit about geography.

  • Fool of a Took
  • I will not stand for this Pippin slander!

    He resisted the will of Sauron himself for a bit, and even when hurt by him he told him a little as possible. Pippin very intentionally told Sauron nothing of their quest or of Frodo and Sam.

    He's a fool, but a fairly intelligent, strong-willed and kind fool.

    Good meme though.

  • Balrog lore
  • The cry of Morgoth in that hour was the greatest and most dreadful that was ever heard in the northern world; the mountains shook, and the earth trembled, and rocks were riven asunder. Deep in the forgotten places that cry was heard. Far beneath the ruined halls of Angband, in vaults to which the Valar in the haste of their assault had not descended, Balrogs lurked still, awaiting ever the return of their Lord; and now swiftly they arose, and passing over Hithlum they came to Lammoth as a tempest of fire. With their whips of flame they smote asunder the webs of Ungoliant, and she quailed, and turned to flight, belching black vapours to cover her.

    It doesn't actually say anything about how fast they got there. "In that hour" simply means "at that time" here. On the other hand, they travelled "as a tempest of fire", which certainly implies magic and speed. Either way, with such inherently magical creatures as the Balrogs, saying that they cannot travel very quickly without flying seems somewhat naive.

    Good meme though, always appreciate something that makes me go back to the scriptures.

  • Everyone has different reasons for using a nickname
  • I don't think so, at least not meaningfully. Obviously it has a different meaning: tel- is seemingly a prefix that means "finish, end, be last", and orn means tree (can also be seen in his other name, Celeborn). So the meaningful pieces would be tel and orn, which means that the p might be less pronounced than an English person would normally do it, but it doesn't make much of a difference.

    Tl;dr: he's just named Teleporno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
