What the ring does:

The chief power (of all the rings alike) was the prevention or slowing of decay (i.e. 'change' viewed as a regrettable thing), the preservation of what is desired or loved, or its semblance – this is more or less an Elvish motive. But also they enhanced the natural powers of a possessor – thus approaching 'magic', a motive easily corruptible into evil, a lust for domination. And finally they had other powers, more directly derived from Sauron ('the Necromancer': so he is called as he casts a fleeting shadow and presage on the pages of The Hobbit): such as rendering invisible the material body, and making things of the invisible world visible.

So the Ring.. does things. One of which is pulling the bearer into the wraith world. I believe the reason Sauron doesn't turn invisible is that he is already of the wraith world (implying he is invisible without the Ring, but I have no confirmation of that).

Why would China do anything that helps us pick ourselves up and onto our feet? This is the goal they and Russia have been working towards for decades.

I can't think of a better way to just obliterate seeds.

Few people understand why I glare them after obliterating a perfectly nice patch of flowers.

Seems like you're someone that enjoys living your life, not recording your life.

Did I miss something? What did he do?

When I see comments talking about how pointless it is to continue pointing out his hypocritical actions I immediately write that person off as a bot.

If you're struggling to figure out why it's important to show this to his stupid constituents then I don't understand why you're even commenting. Sit back and let the people interested in effecting change spread this information and shut the fuck up.

Because one side looks at him like a baby with early onset dementia, the other looks at him like hes the great orange godking.

Not to seem callous, but the first world could learn to live off of a little less.

Yeah, I was going to say, this is not only professional but charismatic. I'm not sure why this is peak gen z.

People always seem shocked when I'm offended by terms like "I hate men".

Like it's somehow wrong of me to be offended by blatant misandry because I should just "know what they mean". I'm one of "the good ones, they don't mean me when they say it". Horseshit.
