If you could take a single character out of a piece of media (book, film, TV show, video game, etc) who would it be?

They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, but anything they are, rather than can do, will stay. For example people from the His Dark Materials world would keep their daemons. You can take them out at any time in the story’s plot, but for all other people consuming the media, it will be shown that the...

Boromir. Right before the arrows start flying. We would just sit at a bar drinking after I’d calmed him down, and we’d read how the hobbits got taken by Orcs anyway and that Sam and Frodo are pretty much doing their own thing.

(We would also have the “Seen Been”/ “Shaun Bonn” discussion, time permitting)

Skip ahead to the last book where the King Steward of Gondor sits on the throne, and then I’ll pat Boromir encourangingly on the back, and shove him back into the book so he can connect with his dad again.

I also might throw in some AK-47s for that last battle in the last book, but depends how much I’ve been drinking honesty

Oh. Well, still Boromir before the arrows. At that point he’s basically written out of the story anyway.

I can find him work petitioning the Tolkien estate to include firearms in their final battle, which they will likely refuse because they are dicks. I guess he could go on celebrity panel shows, but I don’t think he’d be that funny.

Pulling him out of the book really might do more harm than good. He died with courage. Now he just mysteriously vanished when he was needed the most. Probably the King Steward of Rohan would be suspicious on his son’s disappearance, and would reject any plea for aid fr the Fellowship. Might doom the story.

goddammit I knew that too

Do you practice self care?

Hello. Let’s talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I’ve been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it’s definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where...

I eat two massive meals per day, regularly walk stairs but not often, sleep at least until I hear something, go outside begrudgingly, wash my skin with a shower, and brush my beard every other day if I remember

Highly addictive substance that ruins the lives of most users and their families. Could be harmless, yeah…

Also it’s the one my parents talk about. They used to go out everyday and pluck food from the ground. Every day.

Fridge changed that overnight. Suddenly people had time to do other things (mostly chat with their friends in cafés)

It is crazy that. For time immemorial we used to transmit information from our mouths or using hand signals, and receive that information through eyes and ears, all in realtime.

(side thought: how awesome would it be if we had a single organ for both? e.g. communication solely through blinking)

Then suddenly we have this system where someone can code meaning onto a sheet, and we can receive entire contexts from a glance alone, purely at our leisure. Nuts.

Its crazy that we’re now approaching 200 million transistors in a single square millimetre. Boggles the mind.

its also the reason Blender innovated so much in the last ten years, being the main choice for digital perverts

It was a good story, canon be damned. But yes, it cheapens the franchise if there is no consistency at all between universes.

Dear @firefox : Please stop saving images as webp when I drag them out of the browser. Forever stop that. Even if they are webp originally, just give me a setting to auto-convert them to JPEG. When I get a webp file the first thing I have to do is convert it manually if I'm going to do anything with it.

@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

webp is a great format though…

jpegxl should be the successor, granted - but that doesn’t make webp any less good

I go to my uncle’s house, and ask him “how long have you had <point>?” and if he says, “oh this old thing? I’ve had it since before you were-” then I ignore it.

if he shrugs, I buy it.

Cheers! It looks like this is then the PKGBUILD

gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/…/PKGBUILD?ref_typ…

In which case, there are no packages defined there which are Arch specific except pacman. So… pacman is the Arch source, right?

it sounds like that laptop had it coming, for the sheer neglect and poor upbringing it inflicted
