Because they know that die-hard middle-earth fans want something to watch that's middle-earth related since the LOTR movies and Hobbit movies have long been done. Least until they decide to reboot both of them like 20 or more years down the line.

Marketers and Advertisers don't respect you, though. Why respect anybody who just doesn't respect you? People are just going to act shitty or have potential to be shitty anyways even if you respected them, that's just how some of it goes.

I don't respect anybody who feel they're entitled to my time and sometimes, money.

He's entering stages where he is probably hallucinating and making up just about anything to make these zany decisions.

This is why we should never, ever have old people in power. Cap it at 60 and no older.

I have my favorite teams and sometimes I liken sports as a form of escapism. But, I do not ever religiously watch sports shows, listen to a lot of sports networks and actively follow anything closely. I am only there when the World Series, NBA Finals and the Super Bowl happens.

Can't say I've ever attended a game, paid a ticket, bought any merch and whatnot. All of that just sound like money sinks to me. I am as minimal effort as they come when it comes to sports.

I think quite frankly, that athletes are simply overpaid. I always often wonder as to how much of their salaried contracts could go to better things than just dumping multi-millions into a few year long contract. And trust me, I get it, it's a lot of hard work for an athlete to be in shape, remain in shape and deal with the grueling travel and schedules of some leagues. But, still, we're talking millions to people who're all set for life, regardless unless they turn out to be trainwrecks of human beings.

Ogles cited rap lyrics Mamdani wrote in 2017 supporting the “Holy Land Five”, a reference to five men in the Holy Land Foundation, a Muslim charity, convicted in 2008 of providing material support to the Palestinian group Hamas. Some lawyers have criticised the case’s evidence and use of hearsay.

They are so going to be glued to that and will spin antisemetism so hard.

But that is what's going as planned.

Mine is Consumer.

I hate that word because it is simply a word to brand anybody as lesser than in the eyes of capitalism. It makes your existence look like that is all that you're to do, to be doing and to exist for. Just consume shit. Consume media. Consume content. Consume this and that.

The only association I would use consumption and consume in is in regards to food. Not every god damn thing else and it's pathetic that the word has been applied to everything to the point of it being normalized.

I would prefer buyer or customer. Not Consumer.

Smart - anything.

Why do you need a smart doorbell? Why do you need a smart appliance? You're just inviting waves of survelliance not to mention the bandwidth from all of that shit having to tap into the internet.

Surprising. No. One.

Could we finally have a revolution by that point? Because I'm about tired of just talking and thinking of a revolution. We should've had about three big ones by this point.

So that she can replace his swamp with her swamp. Because that's how the GOP operates. They will drain the swamp all right, but will replace it with the new swamp.

About as long as they take to deal with Melania which is never.

People are starting to do this more often because the search engines are failing them. Google has long stopped being reliable. I can't tell you how many times I would ask a question that relates to a law in my state, out of curiosity and I'd get a totally different state in the country. It's frustrating. I'd almost always get California-related stuff. Like hello? I don't live there!
