I wrote in this post why Hogwarts Legacy is antisemitic and why playing this game, even pirated, is like printing out an antisemitic caricature and saying "I just like the art."

I was right.

If you play this game, fuck off and stay away from me.

Sorry, finding this out almost made me cry.

Friendly reminder that this user is Jewish. If I see that you play Hogwarts Legacy, I’m blocking you. I don’t care what your reasoning is. I really, really don’t. I’ve already had to pull out the hammer and I’m not going to stop.

A child is punished for moving and making noise.

To avoid more punishment, the child sits still and is quiet. But they have to actively remind themself constantly to sit still and be quiet.

The teacher sees the child sitting still and being quiet. The teacher treats this as the baseline.

Since the child is putting a lot of effort into sitting still and being quiet, doing so distracts from paying attention to what the teacher is teaching. The child then is punished for not paying attention.

The child now knows that they'll be punished no matter what they do. And they can't explain why they struggle, because any attempt to explain is arguing.

We can't live like this

I still don’t get why people try to convince me that driving is less complicated than navigating a public transit system. With public transit I’m not doing most of the work.

what-even-is-thiss

What if instead of relaxing and just getting off the vehicle when it beeps at the right stop you got stuck in traffic and had to concentrate constantly on what you’re doing or else you kill somebody and started screaming at other people for not using their giant death machines correctly wouldn’t that be so much better

I wonder if they're mistakenly placing the stresses of navigating an unfamiliar place and system on the public transit system rather than simply on the unfamiliarity.

I can say from personal experience that all of my public transit experiences have been much more stressful than most of my driving experiences, but this is because I do not live, nor enjoy being in, a city, so my public transit experience is almost entirely navigating an unfamiliar subway or bus network when I'm visiting without a car. This can be quite stressful if your simultaneously trying to say, learn how to pay for the system, learn how to navigate the system, figure out what lines and stops I need to use, dealing with the fact that I am around more new people than usually I see in a month, and be texting someone else trying to figure out when and where to meet them.

Whereas my personal average car experience is "Oh I want to go there -> drives there". I don't live in a place with traffic or many other people to worry about and so driving somewhere is not really anymore stressful than walking somewhere for me. But again, this is because I'm extremely familiar with it, rather than it being inherently simpler than public transit, and I' sure if I lived somewhere with a robust transit system, the mental calculus for traveling somewhere would eventually simplify to "oh i want to go there -> goes there".

what-even-is-thiss

Driving stresses me the hell out because every time I’m convinced that I’m gonna mess up and kill someone.

Also yeah navigating a public transit system is a skill but so is driving. Once you have that skill it’s like whatever and your personal chances of killing someone’s by accident are much lower and you can play games on your phone

I'm very very glad that my knee-jerk, gut-feeling, primal-instinct reaction to seeing a Default Influencer is embarrassment. I think this saves me from a lot of bullshit.

Some lip-filler lady on enough Ozempic to euthanize a horse: "The sad truth is an elite lifestyle takes money and discipline. Buy these brands on credit if you have to. Skip meals."

Me: "Oh. Oh I'm physically experiencing the effects of secondhand embarrassment. You live like this? This is your life? Your interiority? If I was anything like this I'd kill myself I think."

phantomrose96

To be clear ☝️, absolutely not gender-exclusive. Some broccoli-haired shirtless 23-year-old man on enough trenbolone to euthanize a different horse starts talking about how to be a high-value male and I start thinking instantly about how I'd have 4,000 slugs use me as a jungle-gym before I'd want this man within cootie-contagion distance of me.

Reached out to a biologist to request some info about an extinct species of freshwater shrimp and the email she sent in response was not only lovely and helpful but also kind of poetry to me? People who study invertebrates are actually the most hopeful and compassionate scientists that we have.

just met a three month old pomeranian named horchata. her paw was the size of my fingertip. she looked like half a dandelion fluff

this just got a hockey rpf tag. due to the nature of this website

other hockey rpf enjoyers now expressing skepticism and disbelief at the choice of man referenced above and tagging it with their preferred and more horchataesque men. i love it here and i'll leave when i die

You don’t have to leave when you die, it is a hellsite, after all.

Andy Weir: Contact with Alien life would be almost impossible, everything would be completely different. Will they be able to tolerate our atmosphere? Their number system would probably be different as base ten doesn't actually have any scientific backup, how would that affect the way they view the world? How would their friendships be formed? What phrases would be interchangeable and how would that match their worldview? How would our relationships with them be formed? What about non-verbal signals? How would they see or hear? How would this be affected by their environment? How would this affect the way we talk to them? What about small and specific customs? What inconsequential things do humans have strict rules around?

Marvel: Yeah Thanos speaks English.

brazilians, imagine you’re a famous futebol player and are about to hit the winning penalty kick at the world cup finals. accidentally, the referee tosses a christian baby at you. would you still kick the baby to the goal and win the hexa championship, and sacrifice the christian baby?

Idk if other people see it like this, but I always interpreted max’s makeup to be showing that his skin was semi transparent, and thus we could see his veins and bones underneath it, and that’s why we see his darkened eye sockets and the gap between his jaw and cheekbones

sometimes i have strong opinions but they're also so inane that halfway through writing a post i'll be like "yeah, this is Absolutely not worth the energy it's taking" and delete everything. but then the opinion is still in my head. and i still want to share it. so within five minutes i go "you know, i bet i can phrase it more succinctly this time" and anyway. you all see where this is going. sometimes i do this four times in a row before i give up on the specific inane opinion and instead write a vague post about the concept of opinions as if that'll satisfy the urge to post the entirety of my inner monologue online. may or may not be relevant to what you're reading right now. and now all our lives have been enriched. you're welcome

can I be honest? I was so pissed off by friends and family criticizing my soap choice that, for half a year, I did an experiment where I washed one hand with Palmolive and one with handsoap, to prove that it didn't make your skin any rougher. and do you know what the result is? it does make your skin rougher. and now I'm even more pissed off.
