Isn’t much of the power of the Maiar in diplomacy and setting events in motion? Gandalf was as much of an interloper and manipulator as he was anything else, and his hiring Bilbo as a thief was the penultimate piece of his mission, as inadvertent as I’m not entirely sure it was. Right? No, really, I’m kinda asking, I don’t know for sure.

Beginning-earth and End-earth

Guess where we are

Yeah, I suppose the obvious stuff, sure

Guess I’m just rankled by seeing so many people making baseless claims and then telling everyone to figure it out themselves when they get called out on it, and it’s not the same as this.

A REAL man uses MOLLE, large tactical rucksacks with PALS loops in place to attach any extra bags

Urban camo or black only, please, with flag patches affixed to every possible velcro surface

Also, “Febuary“

Those covers had to be redesigned because the originals (which may be the ones in the pic) would gouge the rubber of the tires

Venus isn’t a planet either. It’s a hell-sphere. But that makes it even more rad 🤘

I preferred when they were originally Vin Diesel jokes, not the least in part because Chuck Norris is a chud

Bitchin’

I still use that, and I’m trying to bring def back but I got none of the rizz to do it

Bummer about those thalidomide arms though

That connectivity in hard-to-reach places—much like free speech absolutism—is conditional upon whether he (or the dictator of an invading force, with whom he agrees) will allow it

[edit] and apparently Starlink may not even be profitable, with its accounting described as “more art than science” which always bodes well

I’m hearing this in Dana Carvey’s Tom Brokaw.

“And he was delicious.”

Conscience and consciousness are not the same thing

Foxes too, they’re as acrid as skunks are. Lovely creatures, but let’s appreciate them from afar.

Okay gramgram, let’s get you to beddy-bye

There’s a documentary that may help explain this, iirc it’s called Paw Patrol

Hm. In my experience, -eigh has always been pronounced -ee. In most cases, Leigh is a homophone of Lee, as it comes from an English word meaning “meadow”, and you’ll find many pronunciation guides that confirm this. Not that I find it all that intuitive, I would have assumed it to be pronounced -lay myself, like sleigh or eight. English is dumb like that, and if you or anyone else wants to pronounce it -lay, nothing should stop you.
