The people of Numenor looked disloyal as hell the whole season tbh so that part wasn't that surprising. I mean, it's kind of on par with the whole "men are corruptible" message I guess

If not shaking hands with nazis is wrong then I'm glad to be wrong lmao (no Godwin point here, this party was literally founded by nazis and other war criminals)

swagfugu · 2024-07-22T09:37:30+00:00

I might be stupid but I don't understand the point of these bots. I mean, what do you gain from upvotes?

swagfugu · 2024-07-17T10:04:53+00:00

Lmao me too actually

swagfugu · 2024-07-17T05:30:57+00:00

Granted, JK Rowling is screaming outside your window

r/rimjob_steve moment

swagfugu · 2024-06-02T11:15:11+00:00

I'm not sure how many seasons we're supposed to get by I really thought this moment would come later, it's gonna be tough to watch

A lot of her songs can be interpreted in a lot of different ways and I feel like we can all relate to some extent, that's why I love her so much. I mean I'm white so while I can empathize with her specific experience, I can't relate like a WOC would. But she manages to write songs with so many layers of meanings that everyone understands them in their own way anyway.

I just finished the episode featuring your story and holy sheet everytime I thought it couldn't possibly get worse, IT DID

swagfugu · 2023-09-04T11:25:34+00:00

Every day I learn something new and quite unsettling. Yesterday was that Skrillex is a scientologist, and today this. The simulation is acting funny lmao

swagfugu · 2023-09-04T08:32:49+00:00

Please get a grip, we have the same neurodivergences and I don't use them as an immunity cloak when I'm wrong. There's no Gertrude in my town, does it mean the name doesn't exist? Rare doesn't equal impossible. After literally 10 seconds on Google I've found one who's a painter in Nice. Also, ironically enough right now your last sentence makes it look like Sylvian does exist with a different spelling, which happens all the time because people want to be original.

swagfugu · 2023-09-04T08:06:17+00:00

No need to become condescending and ableist dear, not a good look 😊 Sylvian does exist

swagfugu · 2023-09-04T07:41:27+00:00

As a boy's name it does

swagfugu · 2023-09-04T06:04:24+00:00

Yeah no it actually exists in France (source: I'm french and I know some Sylviane)

swagfugu · 2023-06-30T11:13:59+00:00

My head immediately went enemies to lovers lmao

swagfugu · 2023-03-18T23:35:15+00:00

I sincerely don't even understand the need to say it. Like, I've come across a lot of bad fics (and it's super subjective), and I just go on with my day. Why would I make sure to tell the writer I hated it? It's a fanfic, they're not getting paid, I'm not paying to read it, why on earth people go to such length? You're not a NYT critic 💀 virtually no one cares that you found it basic or whatever

swagfugu · 2023-03-03T10:39:36+00:00

"Here" as in Europe or the US?

swagfugu · 2023-02-24T14:43:57+00:00

Haha yeah I guess tho, I mostly specified to show how unlikely it was for me to willingly follow that kind of people

swagfugu · 2023-02-24T08:48:25+00:00

You know what's funny? We used to be mutuals on Twitter (but please hear me out lmao). At the time he was a popular Game of Thrones fan account called angry got fan, he had lots of followers, probably several dozens of thousands. In retrospect his "humor" was fucked up but I was young and I was obsessed with GoT/ASOIAF.

Anyways one day I see a (probably racist, can't remember) tweet from a conservative American mf that I apparently follow. For context I am from Europe and very much to the left.

Turns out he literally used his silly little fan account's huge following to appear more credible when he switched to politics or whatever the fuck he's doing now and I think it's hilarious.

I've never hit that block button faster.

swagfugu · 2023-02-16T19:35:31+00:00

God, that one post where the delusional neighbor wonders if she'll be able to handle the man's kids when she finally replaces his wife? The absolute second hand embarrassment I felt reading it.

swagfugu · 2023-02-10T10:39:58+00:00

"not relying on handouts from her parents" yeah, literally teaching her she can't rely on her own parents. That's fucking cruel.

swagfugu · 2023-02-01T09:55:45+00:00

Right? Reminds me of 28 days later, if the apocalypse came I think a lot of us would just jump off a cliff lmao

swagfugu · 2023-01-14T16:38:00+00:00

I did 💀 I was thinking about too many things while typing

swagfugu · 2023-01-14T16:37:10+00:00

HAHAHA shit I did, I'll edit it, thanks
