  Rowling still gets paid for the IP and likely gets some sort of kickback on its success.

  I understand the appeal of a children’s fantasy set in a wizard world, but until it’s financially detached from Rowling, it’ll continue to fund her hatred.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  That racist bigot Rowling gets paid for this dreck, destroy this shit.

  Don’t watch this shit, the revenue from the show goes right to its bigoted piece of shit author

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would I need to do to successfully paint with my own menstrual blood?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t help with your art, but I’m curious about the connection between the t shot and menstrual cycles. Bf has been getting closer and closer to mustering the courage to figure out how to get on T, so I’m curious to hear some of the side effects people have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Koalas can eat shit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I lowkey think it’s okay if koalas go extinct they’re like terrible stink bears and I think sometimes some animals just aren’t like…

  It’s natural that some species don’t make it. It’s bad that humans speed that up in horrendous ways but the koala? I dunno man they like all got chlamydia and loose buttholes and they eat shit they can’t digest so they gotta suck down mama poops idk yall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That feels like a sound read on things.

  I think a lot will have to change before America elects a woman, gay man, Jew or anyone else outside of the white straight man again.

  One could talk about the qualities of each candidate and argue how Hillary Clinton, Sanders, Buttigieg, Harris etc weren’t as strong as X other candidate, but twice now we’ve seen highly qualified candidates lose either primaries to a senile, milquetoast sack or generals to an unqualified demagogue.

  The country is fucked up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While there’s no rule on the books, of course, it took a massive (coopted) grassroots movement to elect someone with a different skin color. I think a lot of Americans are backwards thinking and he would struggle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Long Story Short’ Netflix Animated Comedy Sets Premiere Date of August 22nd.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The picture, cast line up and title sorta make it seem like a Passover themed comedy show. While I’m interested to see what they do for this concept, gah, what a shame to lose out on that title.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBO Boss Insists 'Harry Potter' Show Will Not Contain J.K. Rowling's Anti-Trans Views⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yah but was she paid for it? Or will she receive money for it?

  Fuck that noise, may all her works and resulting ventures come up penniless and be forgotten

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 has been delayed, even though Take-Two boss kept telling everyone it wouldn't be⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kerbal Space Program. They bought the IP and really bungled the development of the sequel then dumped it unfinished and ownerless

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 has been delayed, even though Take-Two boss kept telling everyone it wouldn't be⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A reminder to steal every Take-Two game. Fuck Take-Two for what they did to KSP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeremy Renner Turned Down ‘Hawkeye’ Season 2 Because He Was Offered ‘Half’ His Season 1 Salary: ‘Did You Think I’m Only Half the Jeremy Because I Got Ran Over?’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We are all half a Jeremy on this blessed day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am playing Far Cry 5 do you think it would be possible for the cultists in game to start their own massive movement in todays America?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean like Q Anon? That decentralized cult ended up storming the capitol a few years ago. Or maybe more like the NXIVM cult that still operates despite its leader being in jail? Or Scientologists which have successfully infiltrated many parts of Hollywood?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oscars’ New Rule Requiring Voters to Watch All Nominees Could Reshape Awards Campaigning, but Academy Members Already Found Loopholes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lmao wait they didn’t even have to watch all the nominated entries?

  Fuck the Oscar’s yo what a jack off festival

  I’ll save ya a click, avoid Uncanny Valley

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion's level scaling was a "mistake", says designer, so why is it in the remaster?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never thought the scaling was an issue, but it was goofy to see bandits in glass armor trying to mug you when they’re obviously quite wealthy already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but I didn’t remember it being specific about the injury. Also it’s fun to say “Worf kicked a kid in half”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He kicked a kid in half

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Worf is a racist misogynistic deadbeat dad and its amazing he’s tolerated.

  Rewatching Birthright had me absolutely disgusted with Worf “falling in love” with like a 16 year old he peeps on bathing in a pond then saying “you’re an abomination” when he finds out she’s half romulan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re all relatively mad compared to the rest of the population of the UFP.

  In a post scarcity socialist utopia, the people we see on screen are almost exclusively a group of folks that when offered the chance to do whatever they wanted they decided some of the most dangerous occupations imaginable. Where death is on the line almost daily due to unforeseen consequences.

  They coulda ran a restaurant, researched their passion projects on a Starbase, lounged about eternally and they decided to expose themselves to weekly hazards no one could have possibly predicted.

  Anyone in Star Fleet is kind of addicted to danger innit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t be subtle. Be direct and frank. “Dad, I don’t want to hear you having sex with your new girlfriend and I shouldn’t have to put up with it twice a day. Either be quiet or do it when I’m not home.” Throw in some imitations of him or her. He should be mortified enough to behave. Better yet, tell it to both of them face to face. That way there can be no confusion between all parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 4chan dead forever? Where are the refugees going?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we need a place to contain 4chan users lest the rest of the internet be potentially exposed to one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are styles of tanktops that are meant to be undershirts and I think that would be inappropriate, though I think just because it feels like you’re half dressed. It would be weird to just wear an undershirt out in public.

  But there’s plenty of tank tops available now that aren’t like that and I think those are fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it disrespectful? It’s just a shirt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I think it’s inappropriate, too, but it seems so minor to make into a larger issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s inappropriate, but I also don’t think it’s a disagreement worth fighting over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How important is it that cans are clean when i put them in the recycling.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This really depends on the technology and equipment employed by whatever Material Reclamation Facility (MRF) your locality is using. They can vary greatly and it’s worth checking with your local recycling authority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you haven’t heard of M.A.S.H. may I also politely recommend the sleeper hit, Star Trek?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think one has to decide if their country is worth fighting for or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What mythologies have poor representation in media, in your opinion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not quite on topic but I think it’s crazy that Smite features the gods of extant religions like Hinduism but doesn’t have a character that transformers between The Father, Son and Holy Ghost with unique move sets for each
