Goblins also appear in Lotr, the orcs in Moria are goblin orcs. I think the difference is goblin orcs live belowground and mordor orcs above. Uruk-Hai are a new breed by Saruman, combining orcs with the wild men of Rohan through dark sorcery.

stupidpol@sh.itjust.works•Latest tech scam, where AI agents can "rent" humans. I thought the Moltbook (social media for AI agents only) scam was bad enough. But this one might take the cake.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•When you know your boss is an insane moron
121·20 days agoStory time: I once had an employer who had me defend myself personally because he saw my Skype go online a few minutes after the official start of work. That same boss was known to sleep half of the day in his own office.
A few months later I was fired and sued their asses. I got a nice compensation out of the settlement.
And being almost as useless (except for medical and scientific uses that are not widely known).
