Great, The Education System Broke Again.

Great, the education system broke again.

Bilbo was declared dead while he was away in the Hobbit (and had to do a bunch of paperwork to get declared alive again) but there’s no indication he was formally declared dead after leaving the Shire, even though most people assumed he had died.

Therefore I posit: having a missing person declared dead in the Shire requires the consent of their next of kin. Whoever Bilbo’s next of kin was at the time of the Hobbit (possibly Otho? I’m not sure) had him declared dead at the first opportunity but Frodo refused to ever do it.

Frodo had anxious hobbit bureaucrats knocking on his door every couple of years like ‘Mr Baggins… blease… it’s been 10 years… he was eleventy-one… can we fill out his death certificate yet’ and Frodo was like ‘absolutely not’.

Early on he genuinely couldn’t bring himself too but after a while it was more that he enjoyed irritating the local magistrate’s office than anything else.

Hot take: to prevent extreme vitriol, presidential candidates should do recreational activities together, such as golf

Feels like either Kamala really is that dumb (probable) or the video is an AI deep fake (also vaguely probable) lol

Kamala has no clue what she's talking about, but she wants to prove it.

Found it!

It's spooky month!

As such, make your next NPC a spooky halfling
