This and just act mature about it with a critical judgement.

Regardless what Rowling says the wizarding world, which is a mix of common mythology and has folklore huge queer potential. Its hard to find media that portrays something like it this well.

The series will have its flaws, the writer will make sure of that, but she will also be too shortsighted to recognise the extension and personal touched by everyone else involved that may not agree with her viewpoints.

For normal people who just read stuff on the internet my expectations of reading comprehension is not that high.

For peer scientists and magazines that would publish science though.

A school teacher would catch all of these during grading.

*tentacle (sorry)

This should be top comment, the researchers did such a good job to make sure anyone with even the slightest reading comprehension would realise this is parody.

Regardless of that, the internet has always been full of lies and we cannot expect bad actors to not exploit this.

Image? The entire site feels ai guided.

I have never see this movie but could instanly hear the classic blunders line in the voice of Grand Nagus Zek.

Did they reference that line in ds9?

Hello is this Patrick?

Since the meme the other day that showed the difference between eyes-to-the-side prey and eyes-to-the-front predator i can no longer unsee it!

I am concerned but is there enough information here to know it’s bad?

Braves Adblock is generally very good as i recall. Traditional adblockers block content that is already downloaded while brave blocks it from using bandwidth at all. (Please correct if wrong)

Its the other toxic and malicious crap it does and the far right sympathies that are its real problems.

This is gonna be controversial but to give this another perspective…

A long time ago me and my buddy role-played racist police in gta (not against other real people though) we are generally into really dark humor, the more evil and horrible the joke the bigger the contrast with how we actually are on the inside and we laugh at the absurdity of that which makes the experience funny while the joke itself never is.

But context is everything, we are about as anti racist as it gets irl, roleplaying the absurdity of racist police it is a way to process that this fucked up thing happens in our reality.

It affirms what we already know, racist behaviour is not just wrong but also incredibly stupid and there is no reasonable explanation on why a person would be like that besides some irrational and dangerous mental illness.

There is a story that gets passed down in my family from the time a pocket watch was considered luxury.

Allegedly to know whether it was time for a break, end of work. The boss would just look at his watch and say nope. Without anyone able to verify.

So my ancestor saved up their money and bought a silver pocketwatch to call the boss out when he cheated, a fancy one presumably because a cheap one could cause an argument that it doesn’t keep time as well as the one the boss had (it might have been the exact same one as the boss idr)

We still own the watch.

I could see corporations take over the mainstream public web but the open networking tools will persist to create a new open web besides it.

If the “darkweb” does one thing very well its demonstrating how there will always be a way.

Unironically this is my strategy playing chess. L

Id much prefer this series was focused on a non trademarked version and was telling new stories with new rather than recycle Rowlings tale.

But they didn’t make that series, they made the one thats coming. As much as i hate i do recognise they had resources to do new things that i would like to know about.

Besides the worst witch and that one Netflix anime i have not seen much tv that explores this setting.

Its the same with the hogwarts legacy game, sure some indie titles explore similar worlds but there is only one that explores such a big world as a beautiful 3d rpg.

I recon this is a fringe opinion but i would much prefer embrace and transform the fandom into something explicitly inclusive and progressive, many aspects of the wizarding world have so much whimsical potential to explore human expression and identity. This is also why so many (ex) potterheads are queer.

I reject Rowling as the creator, most of it builds on pre existing ideas (The worst witch, existing folklore). All she really did was stumble on a good mix and then copyrighted it.

The fandom took that mix and have expanded it much further then Rowlings tiny brain can handle and it brought them together, i hate to lose what we had because of some corporate leech that sucks money out of it.

Now about this series, obviously she is going to profit from any profit its gets, so giving them profit is unethical, likewise hyping up the show without a critical perspective is also bad because others may then buy it or merch.

But it’s still that same mix of potential. The people who make the show may not all agree with Rowlings and reflect their own visions into it. Just like the original cast distance itself from her and also managed to project more than Rowling could even comprehend that world could contain. It’s at least worth a pirated watch to celebrate what it could be, while holding a critical perspective of the flaws it will certainly have.

Hatsune Miku wrote Harry Potter

There is always piracy though.

Scam site?

Url tunnels you trough different sites before ending on a fullscreen foced yt looking video that you cannot click away

I am fortunate we have enough mental energy to go to stores to buy ingredients to cook our own meals most days.

Its similar, to what is referred to as “adhd-tax” I am still in this picture more then i would like.

Part of the reason is to to get controlled competition.

Same with google being the largest donator to firefox. If they wouldn’t do this it would create a hole that could motivates many others to create new innovation that could become a threat to them.

Also so they can deflect anti monopoly laws and also because they benefit from open source themselves.
