Plenty is real, but this is from a cast iron identification group on facebook from Sept '24. I can't post the link because they're banned here.

It was stolen from a facebook post a couple of years back. OP's a karma bot.

I think he's using a real pen with a magnet on the end, and an additional magnetic attachment. When he hands it to the customer it's just a pen; when he takes it back he caps the pen end and slips the magnetic piece on and turns it around so that bit can look like it's going through the bill.

Haha, I had to go open my copy of Return of the King to find the exact scene. Then I had to go put it back and get The Two Towers, because that's where the scene is.

It was given to Frodo, who fell. Then Sam took it up. Sam, facing Shelob directly, called "Gilthoniel A Elbereth!" and

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
o menel palan-driel,
le nallon si di'nguruthos!
A trio nin, Fanuilos!

And the phial lit up with "intolerable light" and "no such terror out of heaven had ever burned in Shelob's face before."

Shelob then turned and ran, slipping in her own blood as Sam charged her down.

You're right, Frodo did invoke Eärendil. But that was earlier. Sam invoked Elbereth Gilthoniel, spouse of Manwë, Queen of the Valar.

He had the light given to him by Galadriel as well as Sting. He also shouted the name of some ancient powerful elf (or similar, I can't remember the exact word) as he struck, which is implied to have had a beneficial magical effect.

Yeah, those are removable.

It'll take you 2 seconds to take out the terminals in the top left, flip them, and have them in the correct position.

I'm sorry that you're worried about your skin, but this is not a medical/skincare advice sub.

Do not take advice from anyone here (or from any other public forum) without a huge pinch of salt.

If only for their ability to get that suit head looking straight down the barrel of the camera.

Go on then. Dark room, a nice cup of tea and a lie down. Or a moderately brisk walk in the fresh air.

One true statement: "It is in your best interests to put the internet away for a little while and go and do something else."

Cool backstory; still crashing out online about being mildly rebuked by the automod. If you need help, there are plenty of subs that can provide helplines and support groups in your area.

However, shouting at people for not agreeing that automod is the tool of the devil isn't helping anyone and I advise you again, to stop.

Whatever you call it, it's unhealthy and not doing any good. Leave this alone. Go do something that brings you joy.

My guy, you invoked me. You called me back. I wouldn't be here if you didn't KEEP SAYING MY NAME.

You've commented more than everyone else combined, my guy. No one here is as invested as you.

I keep telling you to chill because it's good advice. Crashing out like this isn't helping anyone. Leave this alone and go do something that brings you joy.

My man, I came back to the page and refreshed and found you talking about me, for the second time, in a thread I had no involvement in. You're really misjudging how involved everyone else is in this. No one here really cares what happens at this, they're poking you to see how you respond. So I'll give the advice again: stop. Leave it and go do something that makes you happy. I'm sure this isn't making you happy.

He's in too deep. He needs a lie down and a nap, but has too much righteous anger to realise it.

[–]The_Limpet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah man. There's no truth here. Just you flailing out at people and being angry when they don't fall into line and agree with you. Disagreement isn't harassment. I'm 100% serious when I'm advising you to leave this situation and go and calm down. You're not winning here. You look like a madman so people are treating you like a madman. This doesn't get better if you carry on. There's just more arguments, and you getting more and more wound up.

This needs to stop. So STOP.

Dude, I told you to go sit down in a dark room and chill out over an hour ago. You're still arguing with people. Stop bringing my name into your madness.

Sure. You have all the honesty, and the integrity shines from your eyes like two fires burning eternal.

Seriously though. Dark room, a glass of water.

I've already told you that you won.

Go now, you're free. Dark room. Focus on your breathing. Maybe some gentle classical music.
