lmao, i guess familiarity breeds contempt. because of the dispute with china, taiwan doesn’t play its national anthem at international events such as the olympics when one of their athletes win. instead, they play the flag anthem, which I MUCH prefer (again, just as a piece of music). I would be very happy if they adapted the flag anthem as the new national anthem.

my dude, not considering patriotism (such as it is), lyrical meaning and what-not, the US Anthem is a decent piece of music, and I would rank it top tier as far as national anthems go. You’ve not heard a crappy national anthem until you’ve heard Taiwan’s national anthem, and I am about as patriotic as Taiwanese gets. (again just talking about the music itself and not lyrical content, Taiwan’s national anthem is very problematic)

Frodo: it’s some kind of elvish. I cannot read the fiery letters.

Gandalf: There are few who can. It is written in the language of Mordor which I will not utter here. In the language of men it says PC LOAD LETTER.

Frodo: PC LOAD LETTER? Wtf does that mean?

Ok I guess but my question is why would Iran want to kill Trump? They may be antagonistic but they’re not dumb. They will be far better off with trump in office not that I want that.

Going off of memory, in The Hobbit Gandalf talks about Glamdring amd Orchrist, two swords they get from the trolls, and describes them as “forged in Gondolin during the goblin wars”. Sting came from the same troll horde and it’s assumed that it was a dagger made for an elvish prince.
