@danirabbit Wildest part, to me, is that LOTR isn’t *subtle* about who the villain is.

@griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com @danirabbit@mastodon.online no no, I'm sure Sauron being the dread lord of a place that sounds suspiciously like the Latin word for "death", who allies with people who perform genetic experiments on elves to corrupt and create monsters, is uh... ...

@aud look if you’re gonna be a Luddite about it you’re gonna get left behind
@danirabbit community and friendship or all-seeing-eye, hmmmm what should we choose lol
@Ashedryden “we must join with him, Gandalf. It would be wise” type shit
@danirabbit @Ashedryden gandalf if you don’t join him you’re just gonna get left behind. ethics aside, sauron is here to stay
“Oh but I’d use the ring to protect Gondor”. Sure bud.
@danirabbit now I need a t-shirt with a drawing of the one ring with the inscription in English and Russian “Make America Great Again”
@aburka i had to come back the next day because this is so good 👏
@aburka @danirabbit You're absolutely correct!
@danirabbit “I can’t believe they would steal, and then destroy that poor guy’s ring! And kill all of his employees he sent to get it back from them!”
@danirabbit One DARPA contract to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.
Oh they totally would. And then once finished they'll move their military to Mordor because of the incredible forges and its unmatched defences. And since all these Orcs are without a leader they might as well provide some. Might need to crack a few skulls to get the message across but there's gotta be some redeemable Orcs there. Oh, and there's this perfectly good black fortress we could use now that Sauron has been defeated, etc...
@danirabbit
Get away from that palantir!
@danirabbit This VC funding is a gift!
@danirabbit i didn’t know that palantir was a LOTR thing until the other day and when i found out i could’ve facepalmed through my skull
@fieldswork Lotta Saruman’s in our midst
@danirabbit @fieldswork they wish they were sarumans, they are almost all wormtongues
@danirabbit Related: slopbros who think the computer in Star Trek is an "AI" (psst: it's not, it's just a command-line with speech-to-text).
Ugh.
