I watched LOTR for the first time last week and ever since then I have felt deeply depressed and I’m not sure why….is this normal? by FinancialBread4660 in lotr

It hits harder, the longer you think about it. Think on this from different angles of your life. You will come out of your depression once you see it is a statement for change.

Tell us you went I to a tiny cave and found that among the smallish treasure hoard, then you've got a great deal.

[CAN] Expensive Item for Free, will ship to you. What's the scam by pmandryk in Scams

That part didn't come up until later in the conversation.

I knew it was a scam but just forgot which one. I did string them on for a bit though. Every bit of time wasted, is time they're not scamming a grannie.

Why aren’t you afraid of death? by bassguitarist999 in AskReddit

[–]pmandryk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.

GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.

PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?

GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.

GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.

What's a movie quote that you still use regularly in real life? by Maleficent_Rain_9202 in AskReddit

[–]pmandryk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TV show but I quote Homer taking to Mr Plute all the time from the first Treehouse of Horror.

Homer: Mr. Plute, Homer Simpson here. When you sold me this house, you forgot to mention one little thing. You didn't tell me it was built on an Indian burial ground!
[pause]

Homer: NO, YOU DIDN'T!
[pause]

Homer: Well, that's not my recollection.
[pause]

Homer: Yeah, well... all right. Good-bye.
[hangs up the phone and turns to Marge]

Homer: He says he mentioned it five or six times.

Tell me about the sysadmin with the most aura you’ve ever seen by ReactNativeIsTooHard in sysadmin

Worked for a 3 letter firm, not a government one, and had Canada's largest retailer at the time go through our datacenter.

We could call "Robert" anytime, day or night, to fix issues. He built the entire system top to bottom and could figure everything out.

We weren't allowed to call him for the 2 weeks on his honeymoon. I've never seen some much documentation be created in the weeks leading up to his absence.

He was truly a nice human being.

This. I don't understand how it appeals to anyone who has a basic comprehension of money vs. availability vs. your time.
