  • Sounds really fucked up of me, but I once had a girlfriend gift me a painting she made for me. I could tell she really tried, took her time, spent money on it, and she chose a subject matter I really liked, but it was absolutely terrible. One of the worst paintings I've ever seen.

    It put me in such a dilemma because she even framed it and was expecting me to hang it up at my place but I couldn't bear to hang it and see it 'decorating' my place. I thanked her a lot when she gave it to me but I would've preferred she had gotten me nothing instead.









  • I never said the US would win in a hot, non-nuclear war. I also don't want to attribute more rational thought to the US than necessary considering that they continue to enter into conflicts that they either have no chance of winning or end up losing.

    As I said, I think Trump may have ulterior reasons to do it.


  • Oh, I completely agree with all of that. I'm just triggered by Samfans that can only praise Sam by disparaging Frodo. Hate that shit, to be honest.

    I love Sam but no one could've done what Frodo did with the Ring, according to Tolkien himself, and no one could've cared for and been totally loyal towards Frodo the way Sam was, but it's a different strength and accomplishment.

    I do think the movies made Frodo look a certain way that makes people think he's a useless idiot or something but the books definitely always made me feel like Frodo was an extremely tragic martyr.



  • I think Trump is trying to surrender America to China

    Based Comrade Trump?

    That would be really funny, but not sure how true that is. Isn't TikTok not even Chinese? I thought that was just a Right-wing talking point. And Musk benefits the most from Chinese EVs being blocked, although I hope they do lift that.







  • I still think it's possible Trump may ramp up to a war with China. Otherwise agree that China can outplay the US in terms of trade, but Trump is also the guy who almost brought the US to war with Iran and will need an excuse or rationalization for suspension of term limits and protracted war with a powerful enemy may become his pretext. He's not necessarily peaceful.

    Hopefully he does deescalate with Russia in Ukraine though.
