I can’t deal with this subreddit sometimes

“chocolate guy” is currently shilling for harry potter so i better not see yall post his shit anymore. anyone who engages with that shit especially for money is scorched earth as far as i’m concerned.
Came right up when I searched it, unfortunately
because of the new tv show. and it’s only going to get worse as we get closer to the show’s release. take notice of it — who’s advertising, who’s talking about it, who’s encouraging you to watch it. it’s going to keep happening. there’s going to be more chocolate guys, more nicholas hoults, more kiera knightleys.
take no shit. give rowling an inch and she’ll take a mile. i don’t care how much you like or don’t like someone — if you see them interacting with harry potter positively in ANY way, drop them. unfollow, block, pretend they don’t exist. scorched fucking earth.
and most importantly, be loud about your support for transfems. be transfeminists. be mean about it. fight with people about it. block liberally. download shinigami eyes. read transfeminist theory. provide material and monetary support for dolls who need it, especially the trans women of color in your communities. show them that they’re loved. don’t look away.
Alejandra Caraballo posted on Bluesky today (8/20/26) that the Amnesty International report JKR personally spiked was removed from the Wayback Machine "and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it." This is not stopping. This will get worse. Fuck anyone who partners with this.
its not that hard to just not support shitty things
also seriously, download shinigami eyes
Officially licensed 2026 Luma bath bombs from a Nintendo/Lush collaboration for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
Notably, while the eyes of the Luma are fully modeled to be bulging out of the main mass of the product (identical to the in-game and movie model), the black coloration is only applied to the middle of the eye area due to limitations of the manufacturing process. This results in the Luma appearing to have swollen or puffy eyes.

Tim Hortons is doing a Harry Potter collab and like. Whatever. I quit going there years ago because the food and drinks are bad. But it's annoying me off how people keeping boiling down folks boycotting Tim's to "People are mad about things JRK said on Twitter" and "People are mad because they don't like Harry Potter". I heard the former stated as the reason on the radio the other day. Jesus Christ, no. People are mad because any money JKR gets from this promotion will be funneled straight into lobbying against transgender rights and access to healthcare in the UK. Very tangible real world harm. It isn't about the ideological purity of the stupid wizard donuts.
(defense) attorney culture is like the opposite of cop culture. lawyers hate all other lawyers with a barely concealed passion, yes, even their partners at the law firm. no solidarity, 85% drama and 15% social niceties. they’ll hang out together socially on occasion but they hate each other to their core. they’re like betta fish.
cop: Officer Misconduct would do that, he’s a good lawman, he was the best man at my wedding and I’m lucky to have known him.
doctor: I’ve worked with my colleague, Dr. Malpractice, for 15 years now and I have never witnessed the behavior you are describing.
defense attorney: Yeah, that sounds like something that stupid bastard would try. He doesn’t have the good sense to navigate his way out of a wet cardboard box, much less construct a sound legal defense. He has the integrity of a fucking gnat too. When we were in law school 35 years ago, he barfed in the back seat of my Mercedes after a night out and he never paid to get it cleaned. Even his wife can’t stand him. Fucker. I hate that guy.
Aaron Burr & Alexander Hamilton were defense co-counsel on a murder trial 4 years before the duel.
This is because cops and doctors are fundamentally deferrential to their sources of authority. Lawyers are different. The purpose of a lawyer is to challenge authority.
Exactly. Thats why I specified defense attorneys (and corporate law, family law, estate and injury/employment, to different degrees) and not prosecuting attorneys, those guys can be suspiciously friendly…

Hey just so you know... if you're a legal adult you have the option to just not. You can take that shit off your phone, you don't have to pick up your phone every time they call, you don't have to tell them where you're going all the time, you can just not.
I know it's scary. I know they will threaten to cut off your phone plan or any financial support they're giving you or whatever to keep you under their control. But if you can at all manage it... do it. Set a boundary and MEAN it.
At nineteen, I allowed my mom to cut off my phone plan because she would SCREAM at me over the phone until I was sobbing because I didn't call her often enough (...turns out I have ADHD and time blindness but we didn't know that then). At a certain point I just turned to my partner and asked if we could survive without my mom paying for our phone plan, and we could, and I didn't speak to my mother again for 15 years or so. And my life is better for that.
Your parents don't control the apps on your phone if you're a grown adult, and I'm not saying this to shame anyone in this position, I'm trying to let you know this is abusive and you can get free of it even when feels like you're trapped.
Your parents don't control your phone or your life. They simply don't. You do.
I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.
Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."
The trope where people don't recognize each other because it's been so long since they last interacted and they've both changed so much that they're basically strangers UNTIL one of them does their Signature Thing™ and the other just stops dead because oh. It's YOU. All at once it's so clearly you
This flavor of reblog to this post always makes me laugh so hard thank you
I think War Thunder should add UFOs just so we can see what we learn from the forums.
saw this while exhaling my vape and started choking on it
Part of the art of Wikipedia vandalism is the simple, fleeting moments it occupies before it's corrected, as well as the rarity of catching it in the wild. Without people being narcs about it, the comedy would be ruined.
