Pinned
Hello everyone! I decided to make a pinned post of important links and info about me:
kissing you on the forehead
with tongue?

Hi! Can you explain what really the power of foresight was with Faramir? I read the books earlier this year and I don't really quite understand it. He could predict the future? Like he would see it in his dreams? But how did he found out from Gollum that he was taking frodo and sam to cirith ungol and that he had committed murder before?
No problem, it's one of my favorite topics!
The concise explanation: I think Faramir's foresight/aftersight in terms of visions is a largely separate "power" from his ability to bring his strength of mind and will to bear on other people and animals, and to resist outside influence. The visions seem more a matter of broad sensitivity, something Faramir doesn't appear to have much if any control over. The second power is (in our terms) essentially a form of direct telepathy, limited in some ways but still very powerful, and I think this second ability is what Faramir is using with Gollum.
The really long version:
Belatedly, thank you very much! This reply was stranded in drafts for some reason, but it was fun to put all my thoughts together and further my psionic cryptid Faramir agenda :D
ms paint study from 2021
I’m sorry MS PAINT????
it's really funny that even people who support luigi mangione have like fully bought into the propaganda being pushed that he's the one who did it when he hasn't been convicted of shit and is extremely likely just some guy the nypd and eric adams could reasonably pass off as the person who did it to save face. That huge fucking perp walk (that shouldn't have even been legal to do) was to plant the idea in the public's mind that yeah, obviously this guy did it, why would they be doing this if he wasnt, and you all fell for it without even thinking about it.
You can support the actions of the person who did it while also believing the fact that the famously corrupt NYPD who completely fumbled around for days, posted multiple pictures of different people in similar clothing claiming they were the same suspect, and then out of nowhere said they knew with 100% certainty who did it and already had him in custody, might be lying and simply selected some dude to take the fall.
were these the skeleton wars i was warned so much about
"Does the author respect women" is a third distinct question from either of the other two.
I actually think it's bonkers that companies and businesses can just get fines for safety problems. Like, no, the first thing should be, you don't get to open tomorrow.
Insufficient safety equipment? Okay. You're closed until you get that. Insufficient training? Nope. Closed until that's done
Like what do you mean, you did an inspection or an accident happened, and you fined them money, and then they jusT… Opened again? The real loss of money would be making them stop operating until they're operating safely
Watch out. There's chasms out there
Oh wow thank you....I would certainly have fallen to my death without your warning! Are there anything else in the world I should know about
Yeah
*faux leather no animals were harmed! :)
faux leather is pleather, which is plastic. the process of mining, refining, and fabricating plastic causes enormous environmental damage at every step of the way. oil refineries regularly cause massive die offs of birds, small mammals, and EVERY local invertebrate. the degrading plastic from pleather garments (which break down after only a few years) produces microplastics and leads to groundwater contamination, killing off amphibians and, later, sea life. faux leather can't be repaired or recycled, only replaced by a new, equally toxic product.
tanneries are not exactly fountains of health, but a leather jacket uses the skin of a domestic cow that was already killed for meat. leather jackets can also be refurbished or recycled. once entirely discarded, leather will rot in place, rather than fragment into toxic forever particles.
leather is the product of an animal's death in a tangible, recognizable form that you can immediately assess. one jacket, one cow. you touch the skin of that dead animal and you flinch from it.
pleather can tell you that no animals were harmed, because it harms animals that you will never see. it outsources responsibility. you're not touching the skin of the birds that drowned in oil spills and the tadpoles that hatched into toxic rivers. the fish that will choke on the microplastics of your new jacket aren't born yet when you walk out of the shop. the material of the jacket is so abstract and your culpability is so obscure that you can believe what you are told: it is clean. you are clean. no harm, no foul.
but that's still not true.
prison is fucked up regardless but the fact that you can do a prison sentence for copyright infringement is especially insane to me. you deserve to lose your autonomy because we might have potentially made money from that thing. i imagined you did a crime against me so now one day you'll have to hear your son ask his mother who you are.
'piracy is stealing' sorry if you think selling squid games on dvd or whatever is the same as breaking into grandma's house and clobbering her for her piggy bank then you're never washing out the taste of shoe polish from your mouth i fear
anyone else learn to write in tolkien's elvish script when they were like 12, proceed to write 2+ years of diary entries in it and then almost entirely forget how to re-translate them? becos uhhh
help HELP NOOOOOOOOOOOO I just found this passage:
Which translated into English script (phonetically accurate to mimic my pain upon reading this) reads:
"I hav becum obsessd with a consept noan as "jonlok"! its th hidn luv storee ov sherlok hoams and jon wotsun. thay are pure bois and I luv them"
FUCK FUCK KILL DIE FUCK
