Definitely a Magnum, not Haggen Daas

Trust me, I'm a greedy cunt. I know all about ice cream.

I remember that too. I also remember reading a headline about a Brazilian far-right group travelling to the US to join a KKK meeting, then being upset that the KKK weren't particularly welcoming towards them.

The stupidity is absolutely incredible.

Republican

advocate for people's rights

You really can't be both at the same time.

Of course you can, you're just missing the subtext:

Advocate for people like me's rights

Right wing beliefs have always been about empowering the "I'm alright, Jack" types (I don't know if that phrase is known in the US, but here is an explanation if not). Purely for helping the powerful stay powerful, at the expense of everyone else.

Yeah what on earth? It's not a health monitoring ring alternative, and doesn't try to be. It's a watch in ring form.

Smart rings/health monitoring rings are not the norm, I don't see why any other ring would be automatically compared to them.

It's not even like many people have heard of that brand of ring, so it's not even the kind of clickbait that would attract people, like mentioning an Apple product or something would be.

I'm not much of a ring wearer, I don't even wear my own wedding ring, but this one actually looks pretty neat to me. I hope the battery is as easy to replace as they claim it to be.

Because it shows that a sizable amount of people are at least anti-nazi enough to move platform.

Yes, it would be nicer if they moved to mastodon, but nobody even knows what that is, nobody is there (classic chicken and egg problem), and people get confused by the whole "choose an instance/server" thing.

Is it not ok to have a small celebration of people moving to a better, more positive platform, even if it is far from perfect?

I wish that were the case. Unfortunately, human rights are up for political debate, since a lot of people are vehemently against them.

Khan's glorious chest not being featured is a disgrace

In the books they pretty much confirm it takes more than just heat to destroy the One Ring.

Good forges burn hotter than lava, and dragonfire even hotter still, yet Gandalf said that the biggest, baddest dragon who ever lived Ancalagon the Black (who makes Smaug look like a whimpy little butterfly in comparison) wouldn't be able to harm the One Ring.

It's the magical tie to Orodruin/Mount Doom that allows for its destruction.

No shit? It's run by ex-Twitter people, and Musk has brought a flamethrower to TwitterX.

"You're serious? He needs a therapist with him to keep his anger under control?"

"That's what our intelligence suggests, captain. And there's more... he was once involved in a bar fight with multiple Nausicans. He was stabbed through the heart, then laughed at them. Should I answer his hail?"

"Oh fuck."
