In the Lord of the Rings fandom there’s a persistent debate whether balrogs, or Durin’s Bane specifically, have wings. The text in Fellowship is ambiguous whether what it is describing are literal wings or something else wing-like.

    while discussing their mint dude. use context clues next time to figure out that it’s discussing a government and not people.

      No. This was the entirety of your comment:

      What the fuck is wrong with Samoa? Like, I can speculate but my speculations are unkind. I don’t want to go there.

      The comment you were replying to was talking about odd foreign currencies, but your comment appears to be about the island nation of Samoa itself. I still don’t believe the explanation I pulled out of you, because there was no reason not to “go there.” Nobody would have thought it unkind to inform us of a secret money laundering cult on Samoa that you know about. That’s actually quite interesting. I think the “there” you didn’t want to go to was someplace different.

        My dude, I don’t think I’ve had an interaction with you that wasn’t you getting your panties in a twist over something someone didn’t say but you imagined they said.

          Dude, I don’t remember you at all, dude. I don’t have negative interactions with most people, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ve butted heads before, considering how confrontational your first response to me was. It’s very easy to get under your skin, dude.
