I'm sure that would have looked great to all the gathered men who were still alive.
"oh yeah, the elves showed up and one of them went up to the crack of doom with Isildur after his father died, and the elf came back alone and wouldn't tell us what happened inside. Something's fucky. We better prepare for an attack from the elves."
Whether anyone actually threw hands immediately or not, men and elves would have a far shittier relationship after that.
The question is, did more suffering occur because Elrond didnt do this? We can't know.
(but probably)
That's odd, because when I was in highschool my polisci class was following some high profile financial crime cases, and the rich old white fucks got slapped with less than 2 years in a federal resort prison...
Almost like there's different justice systems for different kinds of people.
Don't bother bringing up the different countries legal systems, ultimately they're all the same. You're not in the in group no matter which country it is unless you're insanely, obscenely rich.
My wife isn't quite nerdy enough to get this yet, and my parents haven't watched TNG in so long they don't remember the phrase.
I have nobody who gets this in my life...

I see no reason to "cut myself off" at any point, I still find games released in the last few years that look interesting, and some with release dates TBD that look neat.
I haven't bought a new console since July 2015 and have no plans to buy a new generation any time soon.
When my current console dies, I might upgrade, but likely I will find a cheap used replacement and keep playing what I already have.
Someday I will update all my stuff, just not today.
News flash!
This, just in: "Leaders of capitalist meat grinders prepared to lie to keep money flowing and try to pull in more"
I'm shocked.
Hey, I've seen this one.
A prehistoric virus is gonna infect someone with coldness until a plucky US-Marshall-turned-sherrif saves the day with his science-mined friends and colleagues.
I follow the proud American tradition my grandfather had of fighting fascism.
If the government of the states decides to be fascist, well...
Hey now, I was taught it's evil because someone might benefit from my labor that isn't me.
Just sit there and think about that for a minute or two.
But stabbing your neighbor isn't exactly something most people are willing to do.
And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you're guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.
I used to work at a sporting goods store, primarily bicycles but I occasionally ran the gun counter.
It was interesting over the last decade I worked, to see how the paperwork wording changed.
The only ones that stand out in memory was asking about "illegal substance use"
First it was "are you addicted to any illegal drugs" and if you checked "yes" then you got denied the sale.
Then it changed to "addicted or USER OF any illegal drugs"
Then "user of any federally illegal substances" or something like that. I'm not sure what it is now since I haven't run a counter in years and haven't bought a gun in almost as long.
They clearly were trying to keep the wording so it didn't matter what the legal status was in your area, or whether the substance you use is addictive or not.
As far as I'm concerned, Marijuana use is just as valid around firearms as alcohol use. It's fine if you drink and it's fine if you shoot, just don't ever do them together.
There are a lot of people who are extremely insistent that Marijuana stays as illegal as possible, and that nobody who smokes is allowed to own a gun.
And a surprising few of them can actually articulate why for either of those.
I'm not looking forward to the inevitable board-flipping, but who knows, maybe the rest of the players will tell Kevin to sit down and shut up because even regular monopoly sucks ass.

"data gathering" basically.
But their reasoning for gathering the data wasn't good enough for the court to allow it, as they basically said "it's so we know how to talk to passengers", but as the court says, they can use less gender-specific wording.
It's a piece of media that's critical of a fascist regime, and the person who says it's fake is a .ml
if they ever answer, it'll be dismissive about how all western media is biased against china/nk/Russia. That's as close to an explanation of "why it's fake" as you'll get.
You should always be critical of any media that doesn't have a concrete source though. I don't personally know anything about radiofreeasia, so fuck if I know how reliable they are to begin with.
"But... But.... But.... It's not like they have anti-air defenses!"
Smaug would like a word with you, if he hadn't been shot while in the air.
An important feature that shouldn't be overlooked.
Having just finished all 3 on my pc...
Dafuq you smokin, Bruh...
I will say though, 1 is the cluniest of them, for sure.
I've seen escalator mechanisms fail before, I could believe that's a dual purpose for it (as well as presumably carts or scooters)
Yeah, fuck me for using a cane, I'm such a big fat fatty and want to be fat.
YOU'RE STEALING OUR TRASH! REEEEEEEEE!
If you clip a healthy plant without asking the owner first, you're a dick. But if I see you do it at a store, no I didn't. Cause the store made $2,550,000 while I was typing this.
