Finally! Some damn appreciation!

I feel like this is to the start to a super, super spicy harry/Dumbledore fic on AO3

Yeah, hunger genuinely sucks. A lot.

We’re okay now, though :)

Maybe I’m misremembering, but I promise I didn’t just make that up! I can’t find the article I saw when I was young, but it was, like, openly hostile to the idea of it. Maybe it was someone else and I attributed it to her or something. :/

Will check the link a little later (just woke up to pee. Lol). But this was years ago, like around the time PoA came out, or maybe halfbood prince? Either way, it was ab article, not s video. I’ll try to find it later today

Huge potter fan here (that won’t consume any potter media because JKR is a self-owning ass clown that deserves to watch her empire crumble), and yeah, even well before the Twitter nonsense she started spouting, it wasn’t like a secret or anything that the books weren’t perfect. I still stood on like at midnight for prisoner of Azkaban as a kid, though. But I remember thinking the Voldemort/death eaters thing was a pretty clear WWII/Hitler/Nazi analogy and googling it only to find an interview with her stating it absolutely was not, and people who thought it was were “reading politics” into a children’s story. She’s always been a dumbass, and she’s wrong about her own work. Also, the whole house elf thing was… Really, really rough to read as a kid. I could never understand why no one was on Hermione’s side, and how no one could see that elves didn’t want to be free because their condition would be that of an outcast, and in a world where only wizard’s were allowed wands, nonhuman humanoids were veru clearly subjugated to the point of delusionality.

Which is to say, yeah, the books got problems, even if you love em. I love those books, because the world felt real, even when it was shitty, it felt real. But there are major problems in them, both in the plothole sense, and in the politics (or lack thereof) of the author shining through the cracks

A bottle from mad dog 20/20 from a gas station. I was like 15. Me and some buddies wanted to get drunk, none of us had fake IDs, and the weed dealer who normally supplied the booze wasn’t answering his phone. 5 of us went in, my buddy Brian volunteered to be tribute, and he grabbed a case of beer and just went to walk out the door with it. While the clerk was distracted dealing with that, we shoved mad dog in our pockets, and then went to the register with sodas. Brian dropped the case of beer and booked it. It was a very smooth operation.

Didn’t steal anything else for years, until I was like 18, and we were so poor that my mom and I started shoplifting out of genuine necessity, while waiting on her disability to kick in.

Oh, man, I used to steal all the shit from Walmart when I worked there. I’d go to the freezer section, grab something like a small box of hot pockets, and head to the break room directly for my break, straight skipping the register. Plus just, like, normal shoplifting, because fuck them

Is “i18n” a typo or some term I’m not familiar with?

I use a password manager, which means if I ever lose access or forget my master password, there’s zero changes in going to successfully guess my password to anything else, though.

Was than an o or a 0 after the s?

Dad paid for the hentai instead of live action porn not because ofa compromise, but because he already had a subscription and didn’t want to pay for two.

Instead of walking/moving with a your joysticks, you use them to point a fucking mouse cursor and click on the ground where you want to go, like that shitty walking dead game on playstation

Second verse, same as the first. Flushable wipes aren’t flushable, but I also completely agree with you that they’re the only wiping tech that works!

Bidet at home, and I carry a small pack of flushable wipes in the vehicles. If I have an issue and must use a public restroom (avoid at all costs, because ew) I take the pack of wipes and a small bag with me into the restroom. Throw the used wipe in the bag, throw it away when done. The bags come from a roll of those bags you use to pick up dog poop. Hell, when we were in Mexico, all the restrooms, including at the hotel, had signs saying not to flush regular toilet paper, to throw it away. Not such a stretch after that! Lol

As a gay bottom (gottom™), your partner should be doing more than wiping before anal

Folk (thinking specifically John Prine, Todd Snider) is like one of those really fantastic casseroles your mom would make on Friday night, the type you ate until you wanted to burst, and felt safe and loved.

Left wing folk (Phil Ochs, et al) is like a vegan General Tso. You’re sure you’re going to be missing something, it can’t be as good as the original, it has an agenda… But it turns out to be fucking amazing, and way better than the one with chicken

I’d make tens of dollars as the scholar to decode the Harrapan/Indus Valley script!

Or I make makes millions as a YouTuber decoding the Voynich manuscript…

Our society is broken:(

If you’ve ever tried to have a conversation with an average person… well, you can’t.

I grew up in Virginia Beach/Hampton roads, and moved to Tennessee in 09 at 18. I’ve never really wanted to admit that outloud, to be honest, but I feel like the only normal person in this state sometimes. I’ve been here for over 15 years and I have met a grand total of 7 people I could have a decent conversation with, one of which is an Episcopal priest from another state, and 2 I met specifically through left wing organizing, so a group with membership that’s already higher than likely to be biased to education and intelligence. I knew people back home that were smart. I don’t mean educated, or some High Potential/Sheldon Cooper shit, I mean they were rational, intelligent human beings capable of common sense and able to hold a conversation. And remember, I was a teenager when I left. At 17 my peers in Hampton Roads were more capable at humaning than are my peers here at 33.

That makes me deeply sad, and I feel like such an elitist shit saying it out loud.

Initially thought I didn’t have one, because I was thinking it had to be, like, things you do or whatever. Like wood carving or building something. Then I realized I absolutely do. Lol

Philosophy and religious studies. Non dualism especially, but honestly, I just love learning about different philosophical ideas. I love Anthropology in general, and the differences and similarities between disparate cultures is downright fucking fascinating. People tend to think that the differences in, say, Hinduism and Christianity are pretty great, and they absolutely can be, but if you dive into the deep thinkers of either tradition you tend to find that oftentimes they’re trying to say the same things.

God, this is so me. If I had to pick one, I’d say writing/story telling, but I’ll never be able to finish writing a book or a script because 2 months is basically my max
