That's not how I read it.

the hours between 8-11pm should be reusable. optional mini time loop you can rewind and start over if you had more tasks to do or another book to read or the first three hours hanging out w your friend weren’t enough

I literally heard myself wheeze at one point reading these. 😂

Funny thing is, I can actually _tell_ that he's Swiss-French and not French-French from how he speaks English. Now, if he'd go back to the old way of editing...

Robot that casually claims to have a twelve-inch dick, but admits "I mean, I don't have it with me" any time it's challenged to prove it. It really does own a twelve-inch dick attachment, but never actually uses it – it has it specifically so that when it does this bit it's technically telling the truth.

Josh Johnson's delivery is so funny 😭

You're about to close on your very own, suspiciously affordable and comfortable house. Just before you sign the contract, the realtor shows you the required legal disclosure: your new house is haunted by the type of presence you'll get from this spinner wheel.

Of course it is.

Friend isn't having such a great time with the seasonal allergies for some strange reason.

Yeah. I don't want to give money outright to either, and as @zeldahime said, will want to speak up against either being specifically platformed somewhere I can influence it, but the magnitude of impact is very different between the two.

That said, I've been having some thoughts about one of the big arguments over JKR. (and, for the record, I haven't cared much about Potter for years (and who the hell cares about Heron Thwack to begin with?), I've just been observing this discourse)

People seem to go round and round on the notions of "nonprofit, non-publicised fanwork just doesn't matter to her people" versus "They're openly tracking total engagement", and...I don't think it's a yes-or-no question. Does it figure in somehow? Probably. But, compared to merch and theme parks and mostly-mundanes listing their house on Facebook, it's...well, it's on the level of "fuck it, I'll go to Walmart" over $10 of groceries that you couldn't find elsewhere locally. Except less, because no actual money. Less, I suspect, than the arguing about it, at this point.

...and then, on the third hand, things take on significances whether we want them to or not. I completely understand people who see someone heavily engaged with her work, even in ways that don't move the needle much, and find it untrustworthy--it's become a symbol of all the noxious shit she represents whether we want it to or not.

People who freak out over harry potter are the most annoying people online. They are also the same people who make excuses for people like Neil Gaiman, might as well put a giant label on your account that reads "I am hypocritical clown that only cares about browbeating other fans and has no real morals".

One is a political danger to a country. One is a danger to their sex partners. Both of those things are bad, but it does not surprise me that people have different reactions.

bastard sounds great in an irish accent. if an irish person calls you a 'daft bastard' it just feels right

the welsh have the monopoly on things ending in hell. fuckin hell and bloody hell hit different in a welsh accent. its like music to my ears

the scots have piss and shite for sure. "its pishin it doon out there" "this is a load of shite" absolute poetry

if i may speak for the english i think we do penis related words very well. dickhead, knobhead, twat, etc.

and for all the shit we give them, you gotta admit that no one can deliver a 'goddamn' quite like an american. theres a certain weight to it that you just cant achieve in other accents. when an american says goddamn you know shit just got real
