Not American but doesn't central America get cold as fuck at night? I would assume that's what cowboys dressed for since you can always remove clothes but you can't exactly create them from thin air at night.

Same happened with me but on YouTube! Reported an ad that was pretending to be fox news or something, led to a website pretending to be another news site that linked to a fake shell (the oil company) site to get your credit card information. Despite going very in depth about the scam "everything was fine".

I think it's "Return to a life where you don't get internal organs in your hair?"

This is literally what capes were like. The world was even more dangerous back then and the human brain hasn't received any upgrades since capes went out of fashion :)

I haven't read harry potter for 20 years, got totally burned out before finishing the series and as you can imagine 14 year old me wasn't exactly very aware of trans issues but here's a few even my thick headed teenage brain found weird:

  • Bankers are basically jewish caricatures - short goblins with long noses that only care about money

  • Weird slavery message where Hermione is proven wrong for wanting to free the elves as a lot of them are happy with servitude

  • Every foreign character is a weird stereotype. I think there was even a Korean character with a chinese name like Chong? There was clearly no concern for portraying anything correctly, just a weak attempt to increase diversity with no effort I guess

There were also a few weird things adjacent to harry potter like how every major character is basically described as alabaster white and she later attempted to hide her bias by saying "I never explicitly said that X was white". Lady, you literally wrote that Hermione was a pale redhead in dozens if not hundreds of pages. I don't care if she's played by a 4 inch tall blue alien, just own up to it and stop gaslighting people.

Also, not a big deal but it always felt weird to me that even the nominally poor family lived a life of luxury. I could tell the person writing never truly knew hardship from the way she wrote the Weasleys. I can't say I have much experience myself but it felt strange how they kept saying a clearly upper middle class family was destitute and made fun of.

This is 100% valid when dealing with code generation sometimes and I hate it

I used to think 20 years later we'd have mech fights that looked like that. And here we are.

I'm sure there's smaller parties you can vote for, right? And Belgium is not like the us where voting for a third party gets you nothing.

Hah I was about to say they tried this in Portugal but a lot of agencies (especially foreign ones) simply have no capacity to deal with digital certificates.

Hell I went to a public university a couple of years ago and they demanded I show them a stamped document proving that I'm employed.
