Hard to argue with “charismatic”, that’s a skill and Obama is so good at it that the USA voted for a black president, twice. He got an actual nobel peace price for his campain, i.e. literally just based on vibes (which says a lot about the nobel commitee, but still).

TBF I’d feel rather threatened if they start doing swastika sidewalks, and that’s just some lines in the shape of an Indian peace symbol.

Or black-white-red stripes (German Imperium, popular with Nazis here because the actual Nazi flag is forbidden).

Don’t knock it til you try it. Citrus juice is a great addition to many foods, and it’s a classic with raw beef.

Also use pork for God’s sake

Meh, raw beef tartare is just fine, it’s just usually completely unseasoned (in contrast to Thüringer Mett, which is pre-seasoned), so you need to add salt etc. yourself. It’s really good with salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Not uncommon. Imagine an idealized nazi arian, now look up a color photo of Adolf Hitler, ideally with him standing next to other people (who aren’t Mussolini, because that guy was even shorter).

Did you ever compare it with asian fish sauce (I think Thai fish sauce is most common in the west, but many other east-asian/south-east-asian countries have it)?

Damn, at least the brits only dump their raw sewage in their rivers.

I did watch Staplerfahrer Klaus, so I’m already halfway there.

When I start fucking with chmod, it happens way too often that what I want to do only works after I executed chmod 777…

Ableton’s main product is software for music, actually. A so-called DAW (digital audio workstation).

#1 and #3 always seemed like critiques of slavery and discrimination to me as a teen when reading those. I recall Hermione being the voice of reason that wizards ignored because slavery was convenient and the people who wanted “mudbloods” gone were shown as bad, with Voldemort in particular having no redeeming qualities.

#1 certainly looked like that was the setup, but the way it eventually played out sure looks like the author thought Hermione was just being stupid and annoying.

Also before the entire TERFdom and now literal nazism saga, she said shit like “nowhere does it say Hermione has to be white” (which her own book disagreed with but this is an example of how she used to be more tolerant).

I think this is an example of the author trying to gain “woke” clout without actually writing woke themes. Same with the “Dumbledore is gay” revelation, AFAIK it never appeared in any of the material she has written, certainly not in the HP books. That’s certainly better than going full nazi, but it always came off as insincere.

This, mind share is a powerful marketing tool. Which is also a big issue with the rule34 suggestion in one of the other comments

To expand on this, most stat-raising moves in Pokémon are a complete waste of time, but not this one…

I think she still thinks she’s fighting against bigotry, she’s just lost the plot (if she ever had it in the first place). There’s lots of absolutely heinous people who fully believe that they’re the good guys.

The overt discrimination of wizards w/o wizard parents (being called Mudbloods; or those who are ‘too Muggle-obsessed’.)

This is portrayed as a bad thing in the books, though. The discriminatory side went full Nazi and the main characters fought against them.

Well there’s probably not a lot of other well-know people with the last name “(de) Cervantes”. Same in Germany, no one ever uses “Johann Wolfgang von Goethe”, it’s always just “Goethe”.

I’m gonna save people, but I will definitely also rob everyone blind. Weapons are expensive!

Assuming the numbers are similar in my country, my circle of friends is more unusual than I thought…

Bitcoin didn’t really make it as a currency, though - as far I can tell it’s mostly used as a investment vehicle. What’s the actual value behind all the billions invested in it?
