Welp, it's official. Been a good(?) run everyone. Here is the paper that is referred to.

Edit: So, reading the actual paper, the article is somewhat sensationalized (shocker, i know). It is still possible to prevent collapse, but it requires extensive and fairly quick reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

I'm more worried about her having mutation potions (and them working instantly, but that's more expected), they better have a damn good reason for her body not melting

no cameras during training

implying you'll be on camera the entire time you work after training. don't just treat their customers like garbage, that apparently extends to their employees too (not that i'm suprised tbf)

The cry of Morgoth in that hour was the greatest and most dreadful that was ever heard in the northern world; the mountains shook, and the earth trembled, and rocks were riven asunder. Deep in the forgotten places that cry was heard. Far beneath the ruined halls of Angband, in vaults to which the Valar in the haste of their assault had not descended, Balrogs lurked still, awaiting ever the return of their Lord; and now swiftly they arose, and passing over Hithlum they came to Lammoth as a tempest of fire. With their whips of flame they smote asunder the webs of Ungoliant, and she quailed, and turned to flight, belching black vapours to cover her.

It doesn't actually say anything about how fast they got there. "In that hour" simply means "at that time" here. On the other hand, they travelled "as a tempest of fire", which certainly implies magic and speed. Either way, with such inherently magical creatures as the Balrogs, saying that they cannot travel very quickly without flying seems somewhat naive.

Good meme though, always appreciate something that makes me go back to the scriptures.

Yea that's been the main issue, not enough resources spent to get the immigrants to actually learn swedish and truly become part of society. Instead you get whole areas filled with people who don't know the language and distrust the government and civil systems, which breeds a whole host of problems.

To be completely fair they lived in a world where there actually were real differences between the races. In our world racism is silly because there aren't any actually relevant differences between the races, but the differences between elves, men, and dwarves are very real in middle earth. Not enough to pull everyone over a comb (to use a swedish proverb), but at least there's some substance to it.

Why the fuck did we (Sweden) abstain? What the fuck? Sometimes I hate my government man. This is such a fucking obvious vote.

While that may be true, the title and article act as if the US is the world, as if "the most humane dairy farms" in the US are the most humane dairy farms in the world, which is clearly not even remotely close to the truth.

couldn't find a grainier comparison pic just to make sure that it's impossible to actually see any difference, in addition to the distance difference?
