People who downvote and don’t comment why they disagree are cowards in my book, btw.

I would like whomever downvoted my comment to please take back that downvote, thanks.

Keep in mind that edits can take different amount of time to federate to different instances.

Agree on this. But if the boyfriend already feels uncomfortable staying at her parents house for just a meal, sleeping and having a shit, then something more is going on with him.

Yeah I did not understand this either. She got a grant and should have been working on her project with that grant money. Why did she need other money?

That’s why their comment above says “devs”, not “admins” lol

Solid first episode.
Having Jim Rash show up at MIT is always great.
Not sure though about the way they make it seem like every scientist who is bothered by the red tape of the system would instantly agree to go around stealing and extorting people. RiRi was a bit quick to accept that offer. Gives me Scott Lang vibes.

The ending with what seems like ::: spoiler spoiler
a subconsciously created Nathalie AI

is a great cliffhanger.

Keep in mind that TSA searching peoples’ phones was already policy under the last few administrations. Which is part of why I wasnt interested in traveling there even before the lunatic.

You mean implementing a functionality with which users can block posts from certain URLs to show up on their feeds?

which made drills

Driver Academies are useful for other purposes as well. Binding juniors to yourself to at least have the leverage/managing relationship, controlling which competitor team in F1 or which other motorsports series they end up at. Aston benefits from having drivers for their WEC program for example.

I recently went to google the name of the last capital of Western Rome, and the autocomplete was “what was the last capital of Assyria?”

And while I am not trans, I cannot stop being queer.

I already don’t give her or the franchise any money at this point and if I ever choose to consume anything from this franchise again, I will pirate it. I understand the stance of “stop engaging with it entirely!”, though I personally don’t agree with it. My “enthusiastic participation in the fandom” is laughable – in the last couple of years I have maybe posted a few news articles and memes that I came across elsewhere, because I felt “makes sense to post this in the HP community”. Apart from that it is the passive viewing of stuff that shows up on my feed.

So yes, it may be the cognitive dissonance between that knowledge and the belief that I’m not an oppressor of trans people is uncomfortable.

What I am trying to find is a way to still engage with this childhood world that accompanied so many of us for years of growing up, while cutting this lady out of my life. Because I can’t stop her from doing what she does.

But maybe you are right and it is not possible to engage with this nostalgia anymore. If that was the case the consequence for me tbh would be to leave and block any community dedicated to the franchise.

Wobei ich seit meinem letzten Update den Audiotrack bei Shorts nicht mehr umstellen kann

Awesome! And with that the next round of speculation begins about which TV characters could all appear in this movie

“A majority trans instance doesn’t need reminders that JK Rowling exists in their local feed.”

How tf does that make sense with the rest of your arguments? You keep saying that it is important to highlight the JKR criticism, but suddenly agree that it is traumatizing for a lot of people?

Come on, either you don’t interact with TERFs a lot or you’re just being dumb right now. She was clearly radicalized by TERFs over the last decade, parroting TERF takes and viewpoints years after they have originally been made. Calling her the source is giving her way more credit that she deserves

His videos are always great and interesting to watch!

(Especially as I find it hard to find youtube channels covering these topics who are not run by conspiracy people lol)
