idk man, the shape of my skull is just not aesthetically pleasing imo

ye but i wouldn’t have known about it since i never put it on with an intention to disappear. Only after being told the ring is “special and powerful and stuff” i’d try to use it to do something i can’t normally, otherwise it’s just a trinket. Well, a trinket i’d be oddly attached to, but it’s a gift from my uncle so that attachment wouldn’t be that weird, right?

or as Freud put it:

“So, I gave my lecture yesterday. Despite the lack of preparation, I spoke quite well and without hesitation, which I ascribe to the cocaine I had taken before hand. I told about my discoveries in brain anatomy, all very difficult things that the audience certainly did not understand, but all that matters is that they get the impression that I understand it.”

as someone with adhd - that age is now, I’m 24

trueeee but 17 years would certainly not have been my first guess if I was asked “after how long do you kinda stop caring about a small trinket your uncle gave you & don’t actively remember where you put it”

i apologise, would this gift make up for my transgression?

i once shaved my head (during one surge of lockdown mania) and that was the day i found out my skull shape is whack, not a cone, but certainly whack, i’m sticking to having hair, if my genetics allow of course

Bilbo was 111, and Frodo was 33 during the birthday party when Bilbo left the Shire.

Only 17 years later, when he’s 50, does Frodo go off on the Quest to destroy the ring.

I’m making my way through the books right now and I haven’t seen the films in ages, but if I recall correctly it’s much less clear in those that there was a time skip. Which yea if I were adapting a book I’d also skip the bit where JRRT says “and then nothing of importance happened for 17 years, apart from the fact Gandalf was travelling to do research about the ring and kinda went missing recently”.

are 24h fast food places a thing??

the only “24h” thing near me is a pharmacy

once you stop seeing ESO as an Elder Scrolls game, and instead look at it as an MMO set in the world of the Elder Scrolls - it gets really fun

even for lore fanatics who don’t see ESO as canon it can still be fun to run around areas we haven’t seen since Arena! Sure, it probably won’t look like the real thing once we get TES: Elsweyr or TES: Black Marsh, but it’s the best we’ve got right now, and with the current lighting fast development of TES series a lot of us won’t live to play those games

subscription is mostly useful for infinite resources bag space, and free non-recent dlc access too i guess

and most content is indeed soloable, only time you need to interact with people is in some DLC dungeon and some veteran dungeons, and mostly just to listen to/explain boss rules so you don’t die every 10 seconds

wha?

i write down the ones that make me pull a “wtf” face after waking up lol!

my phone is only allowed to send me notifications if it’s:

• a human attempting to contact me

• weather

and only allowed make a sound if

• i’m watching a YouTube video

• i’m expecting a call

then i get into my mum’s car and her phone connected to Bluetooth reads out her spam email through the car speakers- 😐

monopolies are the same as dictators, generally really bad, but a great dictator can get so much shit done and change things for the better much faster than great democracy could (i’m not dictator-apologising here, i’ll take democracy any day, just stating a fact here)

as much as i believe languages are living tools, cannot be constrained by rules, and will evolve no matter how much old timers complain

if you tell me about a “venomous mushroom” I’ll freak out at the possibility of such a being existing faster than you can explain how you don’t really see a reason for the distinction between venomous and poisonous and that other languages don’t even have it

you can permanently prettify it and sell all your stuff at the uh, forgot the name, but the one stand trader that accepts everything and has its own deck to make the booty transfer faster! (though idk if it’s still exclusive to captained ships? i haven’t played in a while)

RIP ship captain’s pockets

(unless you’re long past playing for the gold or you’re sailing an uncaptained one)

for a sample of such madness please try arguing with someone about a topic you’re very familiar with, and they clearly know fuck all about but refuse to learn or listen to anybody but themselves and their echo chamber!
