In the books, it's specified that Bill not only makes it back to the Shire, he also finds Bill Ferny (his abusive previous owner) and plants hooves in his guts. He's waiting right there for Frodo and Sam at the end of the journey to Mordor.
So don't worry. Bill was fine. He was still the 10th member of the Fellowship.
Not maintaining artificial connections with people who would reach out to me if they actually gave a damn about me has genuinely been liberating.
I like how Discord- and Slack-like socials are set up. It's just more natural. Instead of a feed, it's a forum. It feels more like a physical place, with couches for discussion, corners of the room where people take conversation, and a hall outside for privacy. And if you understood that metaphor, then you know how I feel.
And if I don't like a server, I can just... leave. Never have to run into them again, but still have access to friends. No holes in the conversation where an obvious block or ignore leaves gaps.
This is true. While I appreciate Al Jazeera's coverage of Gaza, at the end of the day, they're a mouthpiece for an autocracy. And their primary media contrast is, well, other mouthpieces for other autocracies.
I hate watching the news. It's terrorist empires and wannabe empires having pissing contests with each other.
I love the fact that I can tell just how human the artist is. Every flaw I see in this drawing is one of my art flaws too. It's innocent and warm. Please draw more.
