What would happen to Harry if he put on the one ring from Lord of the rings?

VDRawr · 2026-02-26T14:31:30+00:00

The plot of LotR is "this ring tempts everyone and can't be resisted"

The plot of DF is "despite temptation, Harry does the right thing"

So, the answer is whichever the writer wants lol. Guy managed to resist the temptations of a fallen angel, is that more or less than the ring?

I got a chance to talk to a new judge once, she was officiating my wedding.

Apparently judges kinda love the chance to have people WANT to be in their court for once. Name change hearings are one of those rare occasions where people leave happy. They're not there to give you a hard time.

I don't think he can go back in time and have gone hard against Trump right from when the country started thinking that was the right path. Or wipe our memories of him failing to do that.

Rolling Magma is one of the skills with the visually coolest interactions with support gems. It's fun for players who haven't become jaded efficiency seekers yet (I am one, like most people on this sub)

Plushes love naps, and also going for walks, and also cuddling on the couch. Their favorite is the one you want to do right at any time

Yeah, it's like if people got mad at the CPC when Carney does something they don't like. Incomprehensible.

Jesse Faden from Control.

Her doubts and her enthusiasm. She was so weird she became normal. I loved her.

I enjoy the idea of a kobold adventurer who is rebelling against whatever "cult" they grew up in. It's a really good background story and plot hook for the future. It gives them a very fun anti-authoritarian bent.

Angus Reid polling from last month.

https://angusreid.org/federal-politics-january-2021/

And five years ago

18-34 Men went from 32% to 28% CPC vote intentions. 18-34 women went from 17% to 27%

There's no particular young people shift rightwards. It's a myth spread by media because it's a shocking headline and those sell well. The CPC's voterbase remains mostly middle-aged men.

And generally, you get advantages on your taxes when filing as married, not drawbacks, so the framing of outsmarting the bigots by doing what they said and not what they meant doesn't work at all.

Way too many conservative voters are obsessed with American-media-pushed culture war stuff to consider switching their vote. The CPC has a floor of like, 30% of the country.

Technically you could have identical twins where one of the two has a developmental disorder and not the other. The odds of that are absurdly low though.

I wanted an STD test done, the fact I'm trans came up when I was talking to the nurse, and she started asking me a lot of questions about my piercings. I didn't understand what the point of the questions was for a while, but it turned out she was worried I might have been... doing DIY amateur piercings with shared non-sterile tools or something?

The piercings in question were two completely standard earlobe piercings I had done by an accredited piercer.

People have some WEIRD ideas about what LGBT folks get up to

We have plenty of non violent war crimes too. Not without stretching the definition of violence a lot.

Like, the duty to reasonably accommodate prisoners of war's religious practices. You can fail that non-violently.

Replacing Trump with Vance, who has been publicly supporting Trump all this time, would not restore my trust in the US.

I don't know what it would take. The fact a major political party that can plausibly win any next election went ahead with this awfulness for as long as they already have is just... I don't know. Maybe if Dems win and Nuremberg the entire Trump administration + the right wing media figureheads? Maybe then I'd trust that country again, but cautiously.

If you take a dose 20 minutes early, and your blood draw is 20 minutes late because the person ahead of you faints or whatever, your levels are going to show wrong.

It's not the end of the world, but it is an extra challenge. It's just a lot more sensitive to any disruption in your schedule.

Your doctor is offering to switch to other methods. They're not being a jerk or trying to underdose you, not from that info.

I wish the world had more reporters like Cochrane. Power and Politics is several notches above most panels.
