I will stay my Hammer of Vengeance just this once.....and agree that he is a very accomplished and talented actor.....who just happens to be Gandalf, not Ian McKellan. ;)

While he did a decent job with Magneto, I would say that his Gandalf is far more recognized.

True, but I would argue that none are as widely recognized as Gandalf.

Why do you think the fascists try so hard to keep them divided and fighting each other?

Screaming into my boss' face during a heated and un-warranted argument that my co-worker initiated. In all honesty, my boss was in the right in this particular instance. Co-worker never did apologize, to my knowledge. All I can say is my boss has a lot of patience...

Ian McKellan is Gandalf, and I will fight anyone to the death who disagrees.

Exactly. Not encouraging violence, encouraging ACTIVISM. I fucking love it!

Read what she said. She's not telling anyone to get violent. She's saying they should be joining the peaceful resistance movement. But of course, the ones we're peacefully resisting are going to spin it as encouraging violence - while they kidnap, assault and abuse innocent civilians.

I don't have a problem with women writing fantasy books. I just wish the fantasy market wasn't glutted with 'romantasy' novels. I really, really dislike those.

Christianity is incredibly easy to fake. Anyone can call themselves a Christian with little, if any, blowback. It's the whole 'sinner saved by grace' schtick - which is, essentially, "Yup, I'm a Christian but I don't really have to act like one."

Mostly just that I value their opinions on current events, and I admire their work. :)

 

Granted, I really don't know much about how all this works, but the thought occurred to me that Lemmy - as wonderfully open as it is, and without any kind of 'disappearing messages' or other privacy protecting functionality - is basically a smorgasbord for AI scrapers. Or am I (hopefully) wrong about this?
