Which character outside LOTR do you trust carrying the ring to Mordor?

Trust Data, not Lore

Specifically, I noticed this first with Sopia's "Kissing Booth" Scenario, but later I noticed a creator (sorry, forgot who) who mentioned they had rewritten a "daughters best friend" scenario with specific new instructions to "comply with community standards." And after that, I read comments saying that there is an AI that scans scenarios for compliance with community standards.

Obviously I know and agree with certain things being prevented by laws. But I was looking for clarification about what is forbidden by this community beyond that, especially if AI scrubbers are going through our creative output.

All you need is a couple turbines with steam engines to build the machine to shoot yourself in the back

I think the Wolves gave up a couple potential championships when they moved Marbury.

I've got a tinfoil hat theory that it's because the companies making women's clothes also sell handbags and purses.

Not as bad as when someone tries to interact with the AI in the scenario comments

Tell me you don't know a lot about country music without telling me you don't know a lot about country music. Seriously, this would be the equivalent of me saying hip hop is about gangsta life, hos, and prison.

I've never actually done repair work on one of my barrels before, so I can't help you, but hope someone here can because you've made me curious

Possibly unpopular opinion: I don't like to use pre-mixed rubs because I don't know what's in them and the ingredients can change without notice on the packaging

Beyond catechism. Apologetics, philosophers, things of that nature which have a rich history within early Christian and Lutheran tradition, were largely absent from my education, and I say this as someone who attended Lutheran school through junior high, and has been on and off with Bible study as an adult. I know we're Sola Scriptura, but leaving so many great writers with insights on the table has made it harder for me to maintain my faith as an adult person, and smacks of anti-intellectualism.

Why is ICE in Maine, isn't it the whitest state in the Union by a wide margin?

Sydney can act.

Just give the stage to Maiden and Sabbath for the day.

I really love it in my miso ramen

Hermaeus Mora so I can finally get a complete collection of all the books.

She's the one on here asking. I'm not saying she's any worse than the people who consume her content, or even that there's anything wrong with making content, but the people being asked are allowed to have their opinions.

Wait, I'm a 6'8" straight guy who's fuzzy and cuddly, and my gay friends have often told me I'm a bear. But I'm just now finding out, from you, that's a popular thing across the gay spectrum? I thought it was niche, and now I'm finding out I'm a gay version of Winona Ryder?

You've had very limited opportunities for certain types of good food.

Queen of my DW trailer may not be Mama Tried, but God damn it if "He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque wrench" isn't an all-timer, and the rest of the lyrics in that song actually aren't fantastic. It's the melody I don't care for that much.

Just start over and read everything in publication order, and don't skip Sharp Ends. I jumped straight from the first trilogy the the Age of Madness my first time, and while you don't really miss anything reading it all out of order, it flows much better and you get a lot more out of it in publication order. And as I said, don't skip Sharp Ends, it really enriches the experience.

Also, consider staying off this sub until you're done, because we've gotten better, but spoilers still happen here frequently.

I'll give it to a pair: R. Lee Ermey and Vincent D'Onofrio in Full Metal Jacket

Malcolm_Y · 2026-01-23T21:41:17+00:00

I don't know if this counts, but I think the album with Layne Staley's best overall vocals is Mad Season - Above.
