2018-04-11 at 10:11 PM UTC in hey mal how does it feel to get raped by a totse member?Bill Krozby's side is simple: he doesn't remember who she is. I think it's because there are a lot of others, and I base that assumption on years of watching him behave like a fool and a criminal. Even if I'm wrong, I'm probably not far off.

Finny didn't hurt my feelings, he hurt my eyes just like this. We're basically the same.
We're the same, Fox Paws. We are the same person. Drink an espresso, and say it with me. Give me one hour, and I'll have you drinking from a teacup that once adorned David Duchovny's penis. -

WHAT?! Pat-man is here, and a LotR nerd? Good to see you again, nigga, glad you made it over.
I would agree with you on the scaling because I think Tolkien is trying to codify in allegory the expectation that the power of elves in Middle-Earth has steeply declined over the course of millennia, particularly devastated by the ensuing war after the forging of the One Ring but prior to the march of the Last Alliance on Dagorlad. At the same time, it's important to realize that Sauron had assailed Middle-Earth in every way conceivable, igniting their hubris and nearly also bringing them under his authority.
In the form of Annatar the deceiver, his surreptitious military push and creation of a master ring were clever deceptions on his part which caught the elves largely off guard, even though they didn't all trust him to begin with. By the time they realized anything was wrong, he'd raised an army deadly enough to slaughter a large portion of those remaining in Eriador.
Even when that didn't succeed in exterminating the Elves but rather almost crippling them, he proved that he can lie his way into any court by descending upon Númenór, again in the guise of a helpful and pious friend, where he started a very popular cult that eventually got the whole island destroyed. It was the surviving elves and the few Númenóreans who escaped the ruin of their home who ultimately managed to raise a force against Sauron, and it's important to understand them as just 'the guys who were left' and they were now facing an army led by Sauron and his brand new Nazgûl.
What really puts this in perspective for me was that the High King of the Noldor dies in the War of the Last Alliance and they don't even bother to replace him: this really capitalizes for me what a sad state the elves had come to know, and furthermore that they were, in fact, contending with a trusted, high ranking lieutenant of Morgoth, enhanced by the One Ring to the point of matching his old master at the height of his power. To push the point further, we see later on that Isildur starts expanding into the territories which had been lost by the Elves. We're meant to see their people wane and disappear, as men settle what they cannot maintain. -
2018-04-11 at 5:28 AM UTC in WTF is going on with TrumpWe should run on a Totse platform. I'll be the candidate only because I have Duchovny's face. You can be my campaign manager, which means you can kill anyone volunteering for us if you don't like them. In order to secure the primary, we'll need to get Enter to catfish my opponent. I don't savor the idea but pragmatism demands it. From there we can bring him/her on as a running mate until a suitable choice presents themselves from our userbase.
Let's bring this together, guys. We can legalize drugs for niggas everywhere. -
2018-04-11 at 5:23 AM UTC in WTF is going on with TrumpI hope that Charlie Sheen runs in 2020 and wins, and then puts hookers on the White House payroll, nationalizes crack, and indicts the entire cast of his former sitcom on charges of something that'll get them executed.

2018-04-11 at 5:21 AM UTC in Shoplifting techniqueThey put LP through minimal training to ensure they adhere to store policy, but if you feel the need to shoplift I'd guess the stakes are already too high to reasonably wager that they're anything but gorillas in a uniform. They can always lie about where they apprehended you. You can and should expect the store to float their perjurous statement straight into the police report. I'm not going to tell you that stealing is immoral, just that if you get caught, you can expect to get fucked harder than you've got coming.
If that isn't a deterrent, I think the surest method would be to take the merchandise to the restroom and put it you-know-where. You'll want to wear briefs for this, and if you must waddle out of the store, it's best if you went inside that way, too. -
2018-04-10 at 9:20 PM UTC in J.R.R. TolkienGrew up with this Oxford nigga. I could've sworn there was at least one other member here into The Lord of the Rings other than me, along with The Silmarillion and related titles. The Fall of Gondolin has been assembled from a collection of posthumously gathered notes and it's going to be published through HarperCollins this August.
Out of everything found in Lost Tales and Unfinished Tales, the story of Gondolin's destruction impacted me perhaps the most. On its own, it contains every element of a traditional epic and it certainly fills those shoes. As with many critical unions in Tolkien's legendarium, we see at the center of a struggle between good and evil a politically complex romance between a man and an elf. What we generally don't see in his work is the psychotic ex getting killed trying to kidnap the maiden - not to mention that he was even a tragic character in his own right.
So many heroes are named only here: Glorfindel, who ended his first incarnation grappling with a single balrog over a cliff; Legolas the night-sighted, who will forever be a subject of debate in LotR history for having led the people of Gondolin to safety only to be never spoken of again, depending on whether you connect the two figures; Ecthelion, the lord of the fountain who slew more balrogs than any other hero mentioned in the passage. There are countless others who lost their lives, but these are the standouts in my mind.
Also, I seem to remember the balrogs having crossbows and getting cut down pretty well by the more powerful elves - really makes you wonder whether the strength of elves and men has waned in years since, or if the balrog in Moria was simply an immensely powerful specimen.
Previously, we only had access to this story through minimal, supplementary texts, so getting a full-length narrative like The Children of Húrin is a huge deal. hope this is as exciting for all of you as it is for me. -

2018-04-10 at 8:50 PM UTC in Attn Zantick and Bill KrozbyI don't look for Bill Krozby to start trouble. I don't think he's looking for me either. It's a very situational kind of tension, and it pretty much just happens when Bill Krozby sees someone and remembers they were mean to him once.
Example: he's going to do it again very soon if I don't take too much longer to finish this goddamn post. -

Originally posted by gumbo Those are such expensive devices. How do you justify that?
I've been looking into the Vapcap. Seems like it is very powerful compared to traditional vapes. Probably not good for on the go though.
There are a lot of cheap vaporizers on the market, but my experience has been that I just end up buying a new one within a year.
A while back I had the V2 Pro, and it was pretty good for a little while. Eventually, it stopped holding a charge. It was within the warranty, so I cleaned it out and sent it back. This was more than a year ago, and I still haven't heard from the company. I went back to smoking temporarily and replaced it with the DaVinci IQ after reading some reviews and comparing it with different vaporizers. ~$300 was a lot, but I took the plunge. The machine is goddamn superb.
I was mishandling the battery hinge somehow and broke it off, so I sent it in under the warranty. They weren't great about communication, but once I contacted their PR representative on Reddit, my case was expedited. I got it back a few months ago and it's like new. Fulfilment of warranty is critical in this market, and the makers of my DaVinci have proven that they do honor that agreement. Meanwhile, while my IQ was away for repair, I ordered the Arizer Extreme Q after being impressed by its tabletop performance at my dealer's place. I had the extra money at the time, and I figured that I would be using them in very different ways.
I'm not saying you have to go out and spend $500 right now to enjoy your weed, only that I've owned a few vaporizers from $50 to $100 and either found that the product was somehow lacking or the company was, if not both. They are, after all, selling drug paraphernalia.
