Better run better run
Better run better run
Sounds like it lol
I’ve had several bosses tell me that the moment they see a stereotypical African American name they throw out the application/resume.
As long as you dont find any odd little rings, you should be fine out there.
Racing Japan for the title of most overworked employees on Earth
Think about how much it costs in total for a month’s worth of junk food for you. Then figure out all the things you could do with that money instead. Helped me a lot when gas is high and I can’t drive to work and also afford junk food
Worked at an ice cream store. We had a regular that wanted the largest ice cream with a whole banana and absolutely drowned his order in caramel. Not a huge deal we just charged him for like 8 extra toppings or so
Or if they weigh as much as a duck
Yo ho ho a new sea to sail under the jolly roger yaharr
Having worked in tech fields, legacy devices as old as 20 years can pop up occasionally, functioning or not. Once was told a story where this tech was hired to fix a highschool bell system and the whole thing was running on windows 98. This took place in 2015 or so
Galadriel shouldn’t be blinded by revenge and recklessness, because Feanor murdered thousands of his own kin over his stolen Silmarils and Galadriel knew he would do something horrible for his own selfish reasons.
If she can see evil inside another person’s soul, surely she can see the consequences of her own actions 5 minutes before she takes said actions? Like jumping out of a boat hundreds of miles from any land mass? Or maybe she would know how and why the Queen of Numenor felt about helping her, prior to getting upset and yelling?
Nothing about her character in the Rings of Power has any respect for Tolkien’s work, because they dumbed her down and made her act incredibly stupid on multiple occasions, completely ignoring the power and wisdom she already possesses.
My problem is that Galadriel was treated like an impatient, naive child by other characters when in Tolkien’s Lore she is already well-respected and older than most others.
Why? Because female? Bullshit, she was already strong and established by the time the events in Amazon’s LotR take place. They dumbed her down and made her look like an impulsive idiot incapable of seeing evil when that’s literally her whole character.
The showrunners did not give Galadriel the respect she deserved.
The influx of folks moving in from more expensive big city locations plus the general shift of young people rejecting conservative views even as they age is turning the state away from its traditionally republican voting tendencies as seen in recent elections.
I wonder if Russia is aware that Ukraine is using drones made with parts from China to take out their tanks lmao
“SHIVER ME TIMBERS, THAR BE SOME BULLSHIT”
Most of these are medical, advising, and EOD. Above article even says explosive handling.
Another sensationalist title and selectively worded article, making it seem as if the US is going full crusade.

Based on these sources, the US being there is officially for posturing and mostly medical support, as well as advising. Several of these sources also state that there are American citizens among the hostages.
The internet shows you what you are looking for. Rather than find several sources to make an informed argument, most people Google something along the lines of why their stupid opinion is correct.
You’re telling me this enormous being with 6 wings surrounding flaming wheels covered with eyes that God is speaking to me through isn’t real?
If I could find a way
