@ManehattanStonk @jondelarroz You people say this every time but that new audience never materializes and the reboots fail over and over again.

@jondelarroz I know this is difficult to understand for a racist person. But, not everything is about you. Sometimes studios want a black character so that they can attract a new audience of viewers and customers for their films. I know. It's a difficult concept to try to understand.

I just had a thought: what if they're intentionally tanking the Harry Potter franchise to try to diminish JK Rowling's influence on culture?

@Vyyyper @jondelarroz They made a whole ass joker sequel because people enjoyed it the wrong way

@jondelarroz If you really think they are going to spend millions of dollars just to tank a show…..you are nuts lol

@HexQuixotic @derekbwriting You've defended it twice bro

@Darlington_SW @derekbwriting You want cuckoldry and simping way too much, weird ass dude.

Let's be clear. There's a lot of issues with this HBO Harry Potter series. Extra unnecessary added details, pointless raceswaps of minor characters that I, like many other Potterheads, could have overlooked. But Black Snape is such an insulting slap in the face it's a 100% deal breaker.

@HexQuixotic @derekbwriting Cuckoldry, the thinking man's fetish?

@Darlington_SW @derekbwriting ...because most black dudes couldn't think their way out of a wet paper bag.

@BJohnso96855199 @TheTexasGunTrdr @thereal_SnS No

@TheTexasGunTrdr @thereal_SnS stop projecting watch the vid and stop being racist she let him grab her arm at first

Her father taught her well!

@GainRangerHeffe @creepydotorg *better

@creepydotorg That’s Cortez or Columbus showing up. Either way it was about to get worse

Till this day I still don’t understand this particular scene…

@HexQuixotic @derekbwriting I don't know a single black dude who would be that mythical level of simp

@derekbwriting There's not a negro that ever lived that could be Severus Snape. Never ever.

@adamscochran @DonAlt Cool opinion bro. I'll get banned for saying what someone should do to you.

Honestly it’s infuriating and I think a type of mild child abuse. Like I’ve taught as a professor, I’ve designed learning curriculum, I’ve got multiple degrees, I learn the most random shit in the world because learning is my special interest. And I wouldn’t homeschool my kids. I could maybe pull it off with full time focus and supplementing tutors, but that’s an extreme outlier. Even then I’d worry they’d end up socially stunted, unable to adapt to learning from sources that aren’t catered to them, and lacking subject depth. I’ve never met a homeschool parent who comes close to having the educational depth, or the background in education to *actually* homeschool their kids. It is always either ego, arrogance or stupidity and it ends up depriving the kids of their potential. If they don’t think they’re getting enough education in public school then supplement it. But homeschooling should frankly be banned. We require educators and educational institutions to meet standards for a reason. Because we owe it to kids to let them have a fighting chance and not just be stuck with our dumbass short comings as well. So do you workbooks with them as supplemental stuff after school, and go get a job, let your kid experience the world instead of some weird cut off commune cult life where they have to take their cat to “prom” in your living room!

I always get these weird home school people in my comments Listen, if you're truly infinitely smarter than everyone around you, pay for the best educators in the world to tutor your children If you can't afford that, you're probably not smarter than everyone around you

@jwlben @0x49fa98 @elonmusk @dvorahfr They can find a guy who evaded a ban by using a different phone, with a different email, from a different IP, but they can't figure out if someone is posting from a different continent?

@0x49fa98 @elonmusk @dvorahfr Why are you getting content from the third world? I never see it on my feed. If you're talking about the mass posting of political stuff, there is a monetary incentive, so they'll find a way to bypass it. I don't think that feature will do anything.

I'm based in France, but 43% of my audience is American. I know many of us are in the same situation. To reach a wider audience, all my posts are in English, the international language. Those who cause trouble may be punished, but with this change, which will significantly reduce our earnings, you're also penalizing a number of accounts that use the international language without any ill intent. X tells us that videos and new, high-quality content will be prioritized, but this change will, on the contrary, drastically reduce our earnings. Is there any way to reverse this decision, please?🥺 @XCreators @X @nikitabier @elonmusk

@GloryboundStory Books are probably the most inaccessible medium. They aren't able to be consumed passively. That's why I'm doing like @HariSel57511397 and going audio with it soon.

@Darlington_SW Same, unfortunately that's what it takes to break out over there. That is why it is unlikely I will continue posting there, and because I dont think a single person that read on RR actually converted into someone who ordered a copy of my book

Me when I see how people on Royal Road crank out chapters.

@btcflorida @Pat_Stedman @alpharivelino I think piercing your ears at all as a man is homosexual. It doesn't matter what side it's on. I'm just saying that the rainbow brigade doesn't need to rely on codes and secret signals anymore.

@Darlington_SW @Pat_Stedman @alpharivelino It’s OK to say that you mixed it up and got the left one done. Everyone makes mistakes.

A red flag nobody is talking about: Lots of ear piercings in her ears

@Squirrelgirl510 @TheJFreakinC Reported for antisemitism.

@TheJFreakinC This is how Stephen Miller wants it...like the wild, wild West...all because he hates people who do not look like him. Blame starts with him and rolls downhill.

🚨TSA agents aren’t getting paid because Republicans want to keep letting ICE agents violate the Constitution. Democrats just want these basic conditions attached to the DHS funding bill: 1. Judicial warrants before entering homes 2. Agents unmasked, or wear ID & body cameras 3. Limits near sensitive location like schools & hospitals ICE agents are wandering airports unmasked, wearing ID, and still working… So, number 2 clearly isn’t the issue. That means… Republicans are letting TSA go unpaid, making you wait in long lines… just so they can break into homes without a judicial warrant, and keep targeting schools and churches. Republicans are punishing working Americans… because Democrats are trying to uphold the Constitution.

@TheJFreakinC @Red___Poppy If it doesn't exist, it should be no problem to pass laws against it.

@Red___Poppy Not only did you just admit that Republicans are holding working American’s wages hostage… but, they are holding those wages hostage for an issue that doesn’t exist. So, ask yourself, why do republicans want to make it more difficult for women to vote?

@btcflorida @Pat_Stedman @alpharivelino No one does that anymore

@Pat_Stedman @alpharivelino And left ear means she’s gay. Only thing I remember from third grade. Long division is gone, but I remember this.

@elonmusk @dvorahfr JUST GET A LITTLE BIT RACIST WITH IT TIERS FIRST WORLD ANGLOSPHERE SECOND WORLD TURD WORLD FIGURE IT OUT

@dvorahfr We will pause moving forward with this until further consideration

@Utterly_Jean @Science_ology @HariSel57511397 Okay so you're asking men to hop from parish to parish in search of a single woman who will treat them like a human being.

@Science_ology @HariSel57511397 You realize that most women in a church community know each other so no you can't just ask them all out. It's obvious that you're desperate at that point and not really interested in anyone while also insulting the ones who are 3rd + choice

Gentle reminder that “good Catholic men” means Prince Charming making seven figures in their head, and if you fall 1% short this will be their reaction.

Actor Vince Vaughn calls out late-night comedians, says people like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and others have all become the “SAME SHOW.” “It stopped being funny, and it started feeling like I was in a f*cking class I didn’t want to take.” THEO VON: “A lot of the late shows have struggled.” VINCE VAUGHN: “Oh, bro.” THEO: “Because… the only person they could make fun of at a certain point was just like white redneck kind of people. And it f*cking tanked [ratings].” VINCE: “I think that the talk shows, to a large part, became really agenda-based.” “They were gonna evangelize people to what they thought… It felt like they had an agenda.” “It stopped being funny, and it started feeling like I was in a f*cking class I didn’t want to take.” “They all became the same show.” “And they all became so about their politics and who’s good and who’s bad.” “Imagine sitting next to someone like that on a f*cking plane. You’d be like, how do I get out of this f*cking seat?” THEO: “I would FART right next to them.” VINCE: “You’d fart your way out of it?” THEO: “Yeah, I would. I would for sure.”

@TheManlet_King Oh yeah I was doing a bunch of stainless steel cabinets for this outdoor job. Cut my hand pretty bad a couple of times. Got a deburring tool. I use it all the time now. Highly recommend it for anyone who does this kind of work.

@Darlington_SW It's not the wires. It's how sharp every single surface is lol. I did about 40 today so far. Gloves help a lot

This is the box Paul had to put his hand in the the Dune book. Far worse than the film version.

@HariSel57511397 Docs. Docs. Write directly into Docs.

All of Chapter 50 was on that laptop bro.
