For me, I dislike (and as a child, hated) the texture of onions. Onion as a flavour has always been fine, it was biting them that was the problem.

Caramelize the onions a bit and blend half into a paste, ask which one tastes bad. If they answer that only the chunky onion is bad, teach them about texture preferences.

My workplaces malwarebyte's settings end the excel process tree if it tries to run a script that accesses other M$ products.

Was super annoyed when I discovered that while trying to script in an email template for the form I was making, since at the time staff never cc'd the correct people and would then bitch out finance for not paying them.

Guess I was not awake enough to catch the other edits - no one else posted the full message and I assumed you did.

I don't use shitter, and its not worth it to pull up an alternate frontend just to see what shitty bots post on it.

Wait, are they really claiming to be registering as actual Nazi's now???

For anyone that somehow doesn't know, Nazi was originally an abbreviation for Nationalsozialist (German for National Socialist). Its kind of insane that these fake democrat twitter bots are claiming to be switching teams to the literal Nazi party, instead of republican/maga.

Don't read/make comments while half asleep kids, makes you look dumb.

The only good thing manjaro did for me was getting me comfortable enough with cli to switch to endeavouros.

And now I have a healthy distrust for any distro that does not have a GMT -8 timezone in its installer list.

In case you are asking about the original post and not the follow up joke, its a reference to western gay culture, which may be a bit difficult to explain, as there's a few layers to it.

  • there's a lot of code switching (essentially changing outward personality) between your friends, close friends, gay friends, family, etc, depending on what they are comfortable with/how uncomfortable you want to make them. Having multiple phone numbers would be a way of separating the way of speaking based on what number you are texting from
  • multiple phone numbers is also a good way of separating you personal/work/sexual contacts
  • there is also a culture of both blocking your flings on all social media/texting/etc, but then making alt accounts to stalk them/check up on how their lives are going. Having multiple phone numbers could help with authenticating those alt accounts, and also gives you a way of bypassing their blocks on you for either harassment or apologies, or even just to ask for a night out with them (even if its specifically to spite a 3rd party, and not because you wish to make up with the person you blocked)
  • 'X thing is homophobic because it inconveniences my gay ass in this moment' is a popular meme (as pointed out by my spouse)
  • probably another layer I am too autistic/not enough in the community to get
  • honestly, my first few points are probably very much over thinking it

Yeah, it never got revisited/explicitly mentioned, but between the description of the forest, and the way the ents describe what happens when they are alone for too long, its hard not to think the forest is full of entwives.

The only named tree being male could be that a single male went with/found/was born among the entwives and also 'went feral', or it could be a mistranslation (in world or IRL) or the gender used got changed over time as people forgot it was a female tree (as it has been far too long since I read any Tolkien books to remember who voiced the trees name - if it was Bombadil this point is obviously moot)

I say going feral, as that forest is clearly hostile to anyone that enters, but the trees are rooted and don't visibly relocate, nor did they ever get described as being able to communicate (except, I guess, a clear GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE)

on WHERE'S TOM · c/lotrmemes · 4 pts · 340d

I mean, sure, but how else can you explain the ominous forest near the shire that misleads at best, and outright attacks people at worse? Especially since the ents never find the wives while looking east, and described what happens when ents get depressed as losing rationality, the ability to walk, and increased aggression, etc etc.

Disagree, even natural D-cups (though not sure how much larger) still give enough flat surface for a mousepad while laying on their back like that.

on WHERE'S TOM · c/lotrmemes · 5 pts · 340d

They also skipped the whole "the entwives went feral and are all rooted near the shire" bit too, though that's fair since the hobbits never made the connection/told the ents about it.

Would have been a good sub plot point to emphasize that tragedy though.
