  • Oh shit, you actually got me there. As I forgot you can joke about anything, as long as it is a good joke and not actually advocating for a bad thing. It’s just that most “jokes” you hear about immigrants aren’t actually jokes but poorly disguised shitty ideology, so I was thinking of a slightly different context perhaps.


  • To me this reads like one of those bad jokes on the expense of trans people in 90’s media. Like how Ace Ventura has sex with a trans woman, then only after he learns it, he starts gagging and washing his teeth religiously and like pumping his face with a plumber; it’s hypocritical. You already enjoyed it, now you’ve learned something about it, it’s suddenly shit and retroactively changes your previous enjoyment to disgust?

    Perhaps you never liked HP, but practically the entire world did, before we knew how JKR will turn out. I’m not gonna give her a cent and previously used money for any HP related things like… 20 years ago, but I’m also not going to pretend they weren’t meaningful to me or that her politics will retroactively change those feelings.






  • I live in SW Finland on the coast of the Baltic Sea. It’s wet and cold 90% of the year.

    We still have this sort of book exchange in the entrance way to my local shop. A tiny bookshelf/night desk. Not too common though, I can’t think of any others right now.

    But like the weather shouldn’t be the issue, that’s just an engineering problem at that point. I imagine like a glass doored fridge with some dehumidifiers placed inside should probably work in most places to protect books.



  • So now you’re in the “I’m gonna return every few days, so my profile won’t look as silly when all my childish answers aren’t packed one after another, but spread over weeks”-phase?

    Like I said, I’ve genuinely been down this path hundreds of times before, seen your exact “tactic” employed. You have nowhere to go, and you can’t address the topic at all. Check mate. You’ve lost, and now you’re just digging deeper and deeper.

    What’s the definition of “arbitrary” and why do you think timekeeping systems are arbitrary?
