@JWhitebread1 I stopped watching the movies after the third one, when they made the casual clothes AT HOGWARTS just normal muggle street clothes.
This might be a silly thing to drop something over, but to me it was emblematic of overall direction going forward.
Reminds me how I still hate how the movies did the costuming, and how it's dominated the visual language of all art for the past 25 years or whatever:
They're supposed to be wizards' robes! Not boarding school uniforms!
(Quoting a qt so I don't mess up the artist's qt's😄)
@PioneerPaperTrl In greek (and latin) culture at the time, a man with more than one wife at a time would have been an extreme degenerate. Context is important!
I read that as "one and only one" wife. Not zero, not more than one (divorced and remarried).
@DivinestSmite@bunny3111039587@PoltFan69 A Christmas song that studiously avoids ever saying "Merry Christmas" (though it does contain "Christmas snow," whatever that is), written by a Jew.
Fun exercise is overt hypocrisy:
Try to explain why "Valentine's Day" (バレンタインデー) is always translated as "Valentine's Day" despite it being a MUCH different holiday in Japan than Christmas is in Japan.
"Erm actually Christmas isn't celebrated in Japan the same way so it's closer in meaning to "Happy Holidays""
"Valentine's Day? The one where girls give chocolate to boys and isn't really considered a couples holiday? The one that has an elaborate Japanese 義理チョコ concept not seen anywhere else? Oh that's still just Valentine's Day actually"
@revenant_MMXX@CommonSentiment He literally says he supports more gun control every time there's a big shooting, and then says the opposite 1-2 days later.
He does this with everything. He defaults to big city liberal (1980's edition) every time some reporter asks him a question he's not prepped for.
When they call you racist, they are making a violent threat. They are engaging in terrorism, should be placed on a watch list, debanked, etc. Calling someone a racist is calling for their lynching, its a terrorist dogwhistle, and full force of law must be brought against them.
@GrimJackCrow@BradRTorgersen TOS had one of the biggest budgets on TV at the time. It also had good ratings, just not "biggest budget on tv" ratings. And it got a 2nd chance even after it got canceled.
