It loses some of its poetry in translation, alas.

You can turn it off. Opt-out is still bullshit.

Perish the thought.

Yep. That sounds about right in the year of Our Lord Yog Sothoth 2025 in the planet’s richest country.

The first thing I ever saw Sam in, right when my sexuality was blossoming. (⁠｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡⁠)

Huh? Sorry, I don’t follow.

I was replying to OP’s post title, suggesting Merlin and LotR as a crossover.

Oh I wasn’t dismissing this as a non-issue or anything, it’s clearly bullshit and yet another reason for you to burn cars and billionaires. But I remember when I first heard about this, specifically the “(file) for free” was INCREDIBLY confusing because as ridiculous many, many things the US does may seem to me, (what I understood as) the notion of paying your government a fee to process your taxes was juuust a bit too far out.

You CAN still do it on your own though, just not online, yeah?

Fellow non-USians: no they don’t have to pay their government for the privilege of being allowed to file their taxes. “For free” here means “without the help of a tax accountant (and online)”. I was SO SO SO confused.

Edit: tax adviser? tax agent? some person who knows taxes.

Lord of the Rings and Merlin you mean, yeah?

Yep, not just there. I don’t know if it’s going to change anything fundamental but I agree with the sentiment and if nothing else, it’s a statement of solidarity with other people who might feel like everybody around them is giving in to the slopshittification.

I don’t know what being American or otherwise has to do with it btw.

You’re bad at masking that ADHD ;D (tone indicator friendly ribbing)

… That would be sonic again which we have established as laaaaam0r. ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

Pretty sure Thor can control lightning with the thing, no?

Thank you, I am now reassured in my DuckDuckGo-fu after looking this up because I don’t watch the Simpsons.

Headcanon accepted. I choose to believe that John Williams spends his time on some bus in (what looks like, judging from the surrounding ten pixels) some central European city reading sheet music.

Electric screwdriver! Who’d have a sonic?!

This is exactly like when we sat in the car on the way home from the shop, reading the manual of the video game we just bought, already practising in our heads the button presses.

We all thought it. ¯\(^_^)/¯

If you’re a copper, you have to tell me.
