That’s what I can’t get over. I mean sure, we know double standards are rife in this administration but OMG how is the entire security community and leadership (looking at you, Congress) not absolutely losing their minds at this? Didn’t they send a SWAT team or something after one of the War Thunder forum leakers for posting a simple manual?! This is just insane.

I just finished reading the LotR series with my now-11 yo son (we started a few years ago) and there were definitely plenty of sections like this that I converted to more understandable terms and concepts on the fly. Sure my son may not have heard this exact line, but he definitely got the idea that Shelob was old, bad, and Sauron had encouraged get 8 in exchange for a scary guard in the tunnels into Mordor the fell beasts were scary.

Edit: apparently my son may or may not have gotten an entirely different version of the book told him him!

Careful, this is the exact mantra of the right. They just want a little dictatorship to get things back in line and then things will go back to normal.

SPOILER: it won’t

100% agreed. I think they’re going to take a turn towards that starting with the new Deadpool movie and culminating it in the next Avengers movie(s) but yeah, I’ve about had my full of the multiverse saga at this point.

Nothing replaces common sense, but I’ve been using ESET for years now and have been really happy. Just the AV mind you, none of the other security suite bs.
