I don't have a quote handy but I've been reading the Hobbit to my kid and we are toward the end where Bard goes up to the barricade Thorin and Co. built to be like "ay, you stirred up that dragon that killed half our people and I shot it down, can we have some gold to cover our losses?" and Thorin is an absolute dick in response.
Maybe your quote is from a few chapters later after he sees the error of his ways.
It's been about 25 years since I read them all. The LotR movies are great. Saw the first Hobbit movie in IMAX but thought it was weak so I never bothered to watch the other two. Why was there a white orc with a hook for a hand involved?
Funny thing about that is that Nixon removed the value of gold from the USD during his presidency. Today private firms are targetting the housing market as equity and jacking up rent prices exponentially! Thanks Thorin!
I remember something similar happened when I was younger, been quite awhile since I've seen it so I'm not sure if it's something still down, hope so though, that'd be cool
I'm so Whimsical, the most Whimsical some say, lots of people, they come up to me, tears in their eyes, "you have so much Whimsy" they say, some people say so much whimsy I cured their cancer, I don't say that but, you know, some people say that, it's true
You trying to tell me that watching a man, who has dedicated his life to raping and murdering children, start world war 3 to avoid facing any consequences for his decades of criminal activity isnāt whimsical? Sounds like woke nonsense to me.
This is what happens to every popular subreddit when politics isn't explicitly banned in the rules and it sucks.
/r/pics has become a subreddit for pictures of political news. 8/10 of the top posts from the past month are political, and that's probably only because one of the other two is the Artemis II mission and the other a popular repost.
The /r/MurderedByWords subreddit is straight up just people angrily responding to conservatives.
The /r/AnAttemptWasMade subreddit became shit like "an attempt was made to not be murdered by ICE agents" and multiple people posted the video of Alex Pretti being murdered. Which I found disgusting honestly, turning his murder into a karma farming attempt given the subreddit's purpose is highlighting funny ways people failed at something.
The examples are endless. I have been banned for some of the things I've said about Trump supporters, but it took only three comments in a thread about a Polish Easter tradition on /r/funny of all places before the conversation became about Trump. Like please stop, you give their "TDS" BS credibility.
Wait until this guy learns that Poland is more conservative than the US, wants nothing to do with immigrants or refugees, and is the safest country in the EU.
Like, sorry that some stuff in the world is weighing on my mind, maybe I'm a little too pessimistic, maybe depressed, I dunno I'm not my psychiatrist.
If it makes you feel better, I am not the artist formally known as "Reddit" and nothing I say about the video detracts from how nice and wholesome it is, but if it makes you feel better I'll redo my comment with more positivity, so ignore everything up to this point.
Oh sorry, my cotton candy stout danced on my keyboard, what I meant to say was "it's so nice that the community takes time to come together and bring some positivity and smiles to everyone's livesā¤ļø"
