My brother said this morning that Bruce looks like Dobby. 

 

 

 

I can't disagree.

[Curious Anamaximder he/him]

Alright, random question. From the top of your head, give me a pitch for what kind of job a supernatural mercanry might be needed.

 

Also, here's something for when you feel like someone's overreacting.

 

For hunting me. 'Nuff said.

He's a better actor than this. I think he deserves a chance at some better roles, at least.

Only one way to settle this. Can Bruce Apparate into Hogwarts?

Why do people get so upset about others getting their genders confused on the internet?

Yyyyyeah, on a forum I kind of think of people more as just their words.

[Kestrel she/her]

Eh, when I don't know a gender I just use "they/them," just to toss that out there.

If that bothers anyone, just let me know.

Also she/they pronouns for me are good, just for info. Because there is no neutral pronoun option on the profile feed here. :/

New meme in my household: (Major Big Hero 6 spoilers)

 

Whenever a masked villain shows up on screen, exclaim "Professor Callaghan?" in a shocked voice. Proceed to come up with a convoluted reason why X villainous action helps avenge a missing daughter.

 

...It sounds kind of stupid when I describe it outright, but we find it fun.

Could someone one here explain the concept of wearing nice clothes to me, please? I think that I'm not understanding it in the way that everyone else does, because I see it as a way to conform to an outdated more by being uncomfortable. Help.

Also, when I opened my Kindle, it had switched to mobile version, so I had to fix all nine tabs I had open.

I've never understood either. It makes absolutely no sense. Even less sense than Sebarial.

It's society's way of asserting dominance over you--forcing you to prove your loyalty by making yourself uncomfortable to serve it.

 

Say no to society. Bare your teeth at society. Strip off your clothes as you snarl at society. Brandish your hands like claws at society, then clamber up a tree and howl at the moon. Show society who's boss. Let society know that you are an animal that it can never break, a horse it can never saddle, a feral hound it can never collar. Tell society that you have fangs and you're not afraid to use them.

 

Or just do what I do and wear bright MLP t-shirts outside the house everywhere you go. Same thing, really.

[Kaymyth she/her]

There is a balance to be struck.  Comfortable clothes are comfortable, natch, but dressing fancy has its place.  Of course, properly fitted fancy clothes shouldn't be horribly uncomfortable; comfort is the trade-off our society has made with off-the-rack clothing.

 

Just take the difference in women's shapewear.  Most women nowadays will wear something like Spanx to keep things tucked away.  Spanx are the most horrible, uncomfortable, godsawful things I've ever had the misfortune to put on my body.  I can't wear them for more than an hour or two before I start feeling slightly nauseous.

 

However, a well-made corset that's sized to me specifically?  Don't let the popular notion of corsets fool you - those things are infinitely more comfortable than "modern" shapewear.  I can wear one all day without any trouble or breathing difficulties, and I have asthma.  Granted, I don't tightlace, but the waist reduction is still nice.  But it doesn't squish me in all over, it just moves the layers of fluff around to give me a more pleasing shape.

I actually get more irritated about people getting others' genders wrong, rather than my own. Not that it's that bad; I'll just correct them politely. Though there seems to be quite a rash of that happening in SE right now, which is irritating...

To be fair, I think formal clothes are equally comfortable, and I certainly enjoy wearing them more. I like feeling beautiful upon occasion.

I think guys have it worse, though. Skirts can be suuuper comfy if they're the right material.

I dunno, I'd say Bruce looks cuter.

[Chaos he/him]

Its even more annoying that most of the people I talked to failed the precal exam. That says so much about the program. I had an 88, and made a 58 on the exam and it brought my grade down ten points. I'm just waiting for my parents to see it. Sighs.

But all across the board people failed it. And in AP Physics (for the time I was in it), the curves were huge. Like, 40 points because without it everyone would have failed. That also irritates the crap out of me. Because if you need to have a huge curve like that, its not the students, its the teachers.

Yep, as you said there will always be the complainers (ie: the kids in my english this year and last year complaining about how its too hard and too much work. English last year was so easy to me, and yeah, it was a lot of work but you shouldn't be making a 60 if you did said work. And this year they were like "three essays due on the same day!!" but you have three weeks to do it "that's so hard!!" I mean just quit then honestly) but when everyone, including those of us who do our work, make bad grades then its kinda an issue with the department itself and not the subject matter.

Totally agree. I do not really approve of the teaching philosophy of "oh make it hard and curve it like crazy at the end." That's just stressful. Clear expectations, teachers! They help! Ugh.
