You KNOW there’s a brothel that constantly brews polyjuice. Bring in a hair from the person you’re attracted to, and have sex with (someone who looks exactly like) them!

You can even obliviate the polyjuice’d person afterwards and leave no evidence behind. Consent in the wizarding world is beyond fucked.

I had a coworker do it to me yesterday.

“Thanks for taking care of that issue with Jeremy.”

“Sure, no problem at all!”

“It’s just weird because he told me the opposite thing yesterday.”

Working on Jeremy’s issue and forget to respond…

“Are you mad at me?”

I don’t think I will ever understand this mindset.

You decided to force a child to live through societal collapse because “it’s something to look forward to”.

Yikes.

I think this is too specific, as you mentioned. Why not broaden it to “a piece of literature they were not required to read”? You could talk about anything from wikipedia articles, to current news headlines or sci-fi books this way, and it shows where their curiosity lies.

Red + Blue = Purple + White = … Lilac?

Lilacland?

Dragon Age 1: Quest 1: Here is the exact ritual to create new Gray Wardens

Every Dragon Age since: You’re the last Gray Warden! No one knows how to make more!

Yeah, yours is hypothetical. Good luck solving entropy.

“People have died long before Jack the Ripper. If we want to prevent death, you need for the root cause, which isn’t Jack”

We’re not trying to solve every case of data disappearing, but the large influx that has appeared as a direct result of Trump’s orders.

In case it’s not obvious, the root cause of that is Trump.

This guy worships the “Turn the other cheek” guy, right?

The “love your neighbors” guy?

The “unconditional love” guy?

Just want to make sure I fully understand.

No.

Hope this helps!

I’m both glad you made it out and jealous I don’t have a similar history with another country to move to. You’re a great parent for everything you do for your daughter. Hope the last bit of the trip went smoothly and you find a job quickly.

Oh, I’m not trying to say either are going to be easy, but they both have their individual benefits and there’s some overlap. Having more community-based knowledge of internal combustion engines could still help people switch to motorcycles as a start.

You also never know when someone will make a connection that’s never been thought of before, and completely change how we think about transportation, and the more knowledge in more people’s hands, the better.

Just trying to say it’s a “Yes, and” situation.

Don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress. Those mechanic shops can transition to working on trains, bikes, EVs, etc. We can do both.

With that data collection, their algorithm for targeted marketing is on a completely different level. I completely believe they’re profitable.

Not only do you have knowledge into people who are likely buyers, you can put them into a buying mood right before showing them the ad so they’re primed for it. Then on top of THAT, you don’t have to design, film or edit the ad - you just pay an influencer to do it for you. It makes it faster, easier and cheaper to AstroTurf brand awareness than ever before.

Relatedly, the only people I know ordering things from Shien or Temu are on TikTok.

I understand that it’s a loan word, but my point was that a kimono’s cultural meaning is largely similar to how we would say, “Let me go find something to wear”. A kimono is a specific way to cut a single piece of cloth into a garment, but the result is still just clothes.

It’s like policing what is or isn’t “queso cheese”. It’s really not that big of a deal.

Kimono literally just means “thing to wear”.

I’ve heard multiple Japanese people tell me how funny it is how much foreigners concern themselves over wearing… Clothes.

Hard disagree. He didn’t say the actress was prettier. He said the actress was pretty.

If someone being called pretty makes you do defensive that you immediately need validation that you’re prettier… that’s textbook insecurity.

A confident person would simply agree or disagree without needing to compare the character to themselves.

Does HER reaction imply confidence in any way?

Her being prettier than the actress doesn’t mean the actress isn’t pretty. Her escalation and need for validation is INSANELY insecure.

Yay, marketing. The nutritional value of the cereal is probably next to nothing, but if you ate everything else, you’d get all the nutrients you’d need. 1% of the total is still “a part” of the complete breakfast. Technically not false advertising.

Basically, the more food you see, the less nutritional value in the actual cereal.
