@SandyofCthulhu I always wondered about an American school set in Potter world
Just think of the native American representation that could be in it

I'm going to again pitch the idea thatt Rowling's wizarding world has SO MANY INTERESTING PLACES TO SET STORIES. WE DON'T NEED HOGWARTS.
Look - imagine a series set in Durmstrang, an school in which the headmaster literally was a Death Eater and was murdered for betraying the cult. The adventures would be fabulous. Also bear in mind that they need to be constantly bedeviled and enchanted by the wicked witches of Beauxbatons.
I know in the books Durmstrang & Beauxbatons aren't all-boy or all-girl but it could make the series super interesting particularly because all the school dances and festivals they'd have to mix, and the general separation would lead to the teenagers being even more socially clumsy than the idiots at Hogwarts which would be hilarious.

@ManaByte Its one movie I watched probably a dozen times. My children will watch it as well.

It was the most expensive animated movie Disney made at the time, took a decade to make, and flopped when it was released causing layoffs and making Walt not want to focus on feature animation anymore and move into live-action. The high cost and flop resulted the cheaper animation of the 60s and 70s, and Disney didn’t produce another “Princess” movie until 1989. It was the movie that killed the golden age of Disney animation.
All The Right Movies@ATRightMovies
Disney’s SLEEPING BEAUTY was so ambitious its hand‑painted backgrounds and animation took almost a decade, making it one of the most painstakingly crafted films ever made.

@MyLatinLife Brazil/Argentina is where we're thinking of moving (away from the philippines). The southern German part of brazil is insanely nice, and very safe. That, or the border cities of Argentina to Chile. More European looking the cities.

Yeah sorta the issue. Fast food has to be a science experiment due to the supply chain constraints. If it's gonna be all natural and locally sourced & fresh they'd need to downscale immensely their operations.
Good news is, with an air fryer it's pretty easy to fry your own chicken. Can make enough to eat 3 times per day if you wish. I personally make a siracha mayo with it.

@Tomoejp1236 Ban her from Japan and give her visa to an otaku from Montana.
English
She is an American with half Japanese blood, not Japanese.
While enrolled in a doctoral program at a top university in Japan, she is involved in radical feminist activities in Japan.
She's a type of American that we don't need here.

🇯🇵 A foreign lady living in Japan argues that Japan is a "godforsaken island" and says Japanese being polite is "propaganda". She then argues that Japan should let in more African migrants and that it's "fascist" to not let them in.

@DeanTTraining Wish we had Costco in the Peenz.. they've got a lot of em in Taiwan though 🤔
English
Costco is literally throwing the KITCHEN SINK at all of your excuses
“Can’t hit my protein intake…it’s too hard”
“Unable to meal prep…don’t have enough time”
They’re literally rigging the entire game in your favor
How are you not winning?
Seriously…how???
Brendan@FantasyRam2
Hey @DeanTTraining my Costco had it this time! Imagine saying meal prepping or getting your protein is hard when Costco is giving you this literal CHEAT CODE

Imagine if from 7-10AM Chipotle made the world’s best breakfast burritos…
Start in a few exclusive stores, make it go viral, then scale nationally.
Seems like it’s a huge opportunity right in front of them.

The issue with a lot of businesses is they don't necessarily have a lot of recurring revenue stream. The issue with information is sort of like a steak. Once you already eat it, you don't necessarily want another one right after it.
Which is why it's good to figure out what keeps people in your loop. For example, a tarot card specialist might offer a monthly tarot card package.
Things that keep people's interest or appeal to their ego or satisfy curiosity tend to stick. If your info is not sticky, then you have a customer retention problem. You need to think like a McDonald's: what keeps people coming in through the door.

The Left will live in the worst part of the past, insisting that Obama and Biden didn't fucking ruin everything they touched - and pretend it was some sort of Golden Age when they were in office.

Well - that's not exactly my point. Again, I reiterate it's an interesting book. You've a unique & interesting perspective on things, I wish there was more of it in the book.
It's genuinely not my intention to come across like it's a bad book. I still like it, and to a degree I know my reading style is unorthodox.
Apologies if I came across the wrong way.
English
Sounds like you didn't enjoy to read it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Sorry about that.
On the other hand, you read it so quickly (255 pages in one day?) you make it an info-dump rather than an object of reflection.
Yes, it's written differently, as it focuses on specific other people. The intended audience is 99% of humanity - to get one to think about these topics in a different way than they were brought up to think about them.

People who Forgot who they are
New Hardcover Book, Paperback and eBook out now!
This book examines famous cases of
mental illness,
amnesia,
dissociative identity disorder,
paranoid schizophrenia and
unexplained disappearances
without blinders, without mental reservations, without fear of ridicule, from a fresh perspective unbiased by modern mainstream dogmas.
The press, law enforcement, doctors and mainstream media routinely ignore and suppress evidence of
entity possession,
consciousness-transfer,
Government mind control,
psychotronic weapons,
and more,
preferring to numb victims with ineffective drugs and pat answers.
Cases claimed to be “baffling” and “mysterious” are really easy to explain and heal with spiritual knowledge that was common just a century ago and in use for thousands of years.
