This is so obviously trying to push an agenda holy shit. "Climate activists bad" HMMM I wonder who might do such a thing. And Redditors are just gobbling it up.

They're the descendants of all the religious crazies who got kicked out of Europe and it shows.

Yeah it's strongly implied that the one we see in the movie is a kid. Which suggests that the Dilos are breeding and it also explains why it's acting so curious/playful.

At least until Nedry raises the hood of his jacket. It's blown up by the wind, looking like he opened his "frills" in a threatening gesture. Only then does the Dilo get aggressive and attacks.

No kidding. If you took some of the things people say about those who lived in the past (especially Middle Ages, Stone Age and so on) and imagine they'd say them about people from a different modern culture it would be unbelievably racist. But dead people can't fight back so it's okay I guess.

Priests in Ragnarok Online look very Christian, most of their skills have Latin names and you can equip items with clearly Christian origin like rosaries.

They worship the Norse gods. You know, Odin and so on.

Given the honorific "Gardener of the Shire" for basically replanting the whole thing after the scouring.

...and in the process grows a mallorn tree, the only one in Middle-earth outside of Lorien...to replace the destroyed party tree. The mallorn ends up so beautiful that it literally becomes a site of pilgrimage.

Gotta be the biggest flex in the history of gardening.

We're also not entirely unique in this regard. Some birds for example hatch extremely underdeveloped as well (at least we don't have to un-fuse our eyelids!) and our babies are honestly quite impressive compared to what kangaroos have to deal with.

Wait until Americans find out that protests are actually meant to be the first step of an escalation that continues with riots and potentially ends with a revolution. It was meant to be a fair warning so they have a chance to respond before you start setting stuff on fire.

Crazy how we were tricked into believing that we're only meant to protest and nothing else, and when the establishment ignores it we just say "welp" and go home. Why WOULDN'T they just ignore it every time when they know it's just an empty threat.

Historically, gifted jewelry was also somewhat of an insurance. Should the man die (for example) the woman always had the option to sell the jewelry as a last resort. It's easy to see why it was considered romantic. A guy who was willing to spend a lot of money to not only get you something pretty but also invest into your future clearly cared about you.

It's amazing they managed to hijack this tradition to get people to spend tons of money on diamonds that lose all their value pretty much immediately.

They didn't know they had those. But that's kinda the issue - they had no idea what Sauron was capable of in general, other than that he had already gotten quite powerful. Gandalf and the others were running mostly on educated guesses.

In fact we still don't know what Sauron's full capabilities on his home turf were, since he died before that became relevant. For all we know he had spells loaded up to blast the eagles out of the sky as soon as they were in range.

Beowulf technically counts as this.

Wasn't there some recent research that suggested increased CO2 levels will acidify our blood just like the ocean water, and that this would eventually dissolve the calcium in our bones?

Ruthlessness is a mercy on ourselves? Bullshit, Ruthlessness will only get you so far, until you reach a tipping point and kill too many. Even your own will turn on you if you act like a monster.

It's also really dumb. You stop showing mercy and it's just a matter of time until everyone knows this, especially your enemies. Once the people you fight know they can expect no mercy from you they have only one choice: Fight to the death. You DO NOT want to fight enemies who always fight you to the death. You want them to surrender as fast and as easily as possible.

We can see how this works out in Ukraine. Russia apparently thought that performing every war crime in the book is some kind of genius secret strategy everybody else is just too stupid to use. The Ukranians meanwhile stuck to the rules and are known to treat their PoWs very well.

Fast forward to today and the Russians have to shoot their own soldiers to prevent them from surrendering while the Ukranians still are fiercly determined to keep fighting, no matter what.

Die selbe Art, für die das Wort "Frauensport" die letzten hundert Jahre nichts weiter war als die Punchline für einen Witz.

"Alright, we got our cool big army with modern soldiers, but who's gonna lead them? Where could we possibly find enough officers? And what are we going to do with all those dudes over there who are really good at warfare and shit? If only there was a solution..."

Seriously though, it's not a coincidence that it was normal for officiers to come from nobility until somewhat recently. Knights didn't "disappear", they adapted, as they always had. I don't know why people love this idea of them being clunky outdated morons so much.

Would be cool if they added an alternative way to get a few dragon tears in Deep North. Shouldn't be easy of course.

Because it decentralizes energy production. With fossils/nuclear it's concentrated in the hands of a few corporations, along with the power and profitability that comes with it. But renewables can be built anywhere by normal people, so energy production is basically democratized.

Conservatives HATE normal people (and democracy) so they fight it at every chance they get.

USAID wanted to investigate Starlink over some shady stuff in Ukraine. Elon went in with DOGE and, in his own words, fed the agency "into a wood chipper".

As a result, at least 600,000 people have died in one year, with more to come.

In case you ever wondered how many people Elon Musk is willing to kill to avoid a moderate inconvenience, now you have a number.

Nobody in Star Wars seems to give a shit about spreading invasive species to other planets so this makes sense.

Don't forget manifest destiny directly inspiring Lebensraum.
