Yeah, at least on PC.

I was browsing newest comments for the lulz, and saw your comment without the context. I knew it would be that douche.

I don't think there are many non-Americans in this thread who are surprised by this.

If the class had actually had any useful information in it, sure.

It was not the greatest class.

I completely agree. I wonder whether some IT bachelor's degrees now have lessons in AI prompting. I remember in 2005 there was a course we had to do which could've been labeled "[shitty] Google-Fu" or something. "information searching" is what it would more or less translate to. Basically searching using Google and library searches well. And I don't mean "library" in the IT-context, but actual libraries. With books. Just had to use the search tools the locals libraries had.

Such a fucking filler class.

In my year like 60 started, two classes. After three years like 8 graduated.

Saruman's folk are Uruk-hai.

Those come some 1000 years after the first orcs called Uruks in Middle-Earth. https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Uruks_of_Mordor

But also I was making a reference to the Rings of Power.

They prefer "Uruk", or so I hear.

Luckily with the magic of the internet, your imagination need not be an issue.

You can just see them!

It lives in water with salt. The average ocean pH value is 8.1. It's a brain coated with a thin bit of goo.

My stomach is about 1.5 pH.

You could easily go through a waterslide, but if I change the water to be hydrochloric acid, you're not gonna come out as fresh as you went in. And most skin on the face and body has a pH of between 4.7 and 5.75.

This is a meme from 2008;

Oh fuck I'm old. I was there when it was written.

Flexible enough? Sure.

But will it withstand my stomach acids?

 

Just something MAGA-people seem to have a hard time with sometimes. Probably not as much when Americans are speaking to themselves, but as a non-American, sometimes it's challenging to get "those people" to admit that there is indeed anything wrong with the US. As in they won't accept a single criticism, and will loudly proclaim "America is the greatest country in the world", while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, which for me pretty explicitly means America isn't great, if it has to be made to be such again.
