So as a bit of background here, I was raised in a non-religious (actually, explicitly atheist) family. While attending college, I began attending church (first a non-denominational church, and then a Catholic Church). The most important fact for me was that I think that a tree can be judged by...

Voldemort and his minions pretty clearly don’t give a fuck about the Statue of Secrecy though. They violate it far more than anyone else. The issue with the non-magical world vs magical world stuff is that the mind control curse + teleportation + better-than-technologically-possible stealth...

I think it's perfectly legitimate for people to go that direction, in how they want to view the world and in any fiction inspired by Harry Potter they want to make. I just don't think it has textual support. It's entirely possible it would make for better fiction, it's just as I see it it's not...

I agree it could have been compelling, but it doesn't really pop up in the books. Nobody ever mentions the muggle world as anything like a threat, not even Muggle Borns. Actually, I'd argue that in Harry Potter there's an implicit assumption that the muggle world is basically irrelevant and...

I think part of the reason this is confused is that Voldemort had sequential motives but we deal with him during a lot of different time periods when and so it gets muddled up. My take on it was that Voldemort first pursued immortality and making that immortality as robust as possible. He didn't...

14 million of it is on Fields alone, which means it's basically uncollectable, since Fields is already broke and in jail for 419 years. Not sure how owing 14 million dollars affects his ability to receive or earn commissary (no idea how that actually works) but if it does that's the only...

I mean none of that is really interesting to me or sounds like a good use of my time. The government deciding what goes in the government education or the government schools isn’t censorship and it’s ridiculous to claim that it is. A school library is not going to have every book, and will not...

The idea that the tide will somehow magically turn without being made to do so is just cope. Things don't happen because the majority or moderates get fed up or something like that, the majority is basically useless and doesn't matter. Any group capable of defeating the left will be for Lee...

On the Reich, I think part of the post-war neoliberal world order morality, which has proved extremely damaging, is that it basically works backward from a mythologized Total Evil - specifically Hitler and 1930s Germany. Morality is synonymous with distance from National Socialism, evil...

I don't know anything about the dude, so I don't know how he gets his money. I'd hazard to guess he draws some income from youtube though. I'm not saying he's necessarily insincere, but I think he's part of a pretty common pattern, which is some-flavor-of-minority who agrees with 95% of...

I know nothing about the guy making the video except having watched the one video of his. He seems like the kind of guy who makes his money (or at least some of his money) putting out videos complaining about CRT in schools (and in fact does this a bit at the beginning). But his chief complaint...

BRCC people always gave off horrible vibes IMO. Always ridiculously over the top, in a fashion that seems insincere, but it doesn't land as either affectionate or critical parody. I got a very uncanny valley "they look human but aren't" feeling from the couple videos of theirs I watched before...

Oh, also, anyone see what BRCC posted the day of the Rittenhouse Not Guilty Verdict? At this point I'm like 90% sure whatever performance enhancers they give the special forces guys in the military fucks up their hormones beyond recovery.

Based. Insane to be trying to paint government lawmakers exercising control over government schools as somehow censorship. "Entirely indefensible for WOKE left cafeteria ladies to feed your children poison, but the REAL issue is this republican lawmaker releasing a list of ingredients he's...

I'm not sure how true this is - generally speaking, even in modern extremely multiethnic states which stigmatize racial identity for the majority and make a point of promoting mixing, people tend to self-segregate. This tendency in modern multiethnic nations doesn't totally preclude what you're...

I have a Sig P365, it's my EDC. Would recommend in general. I found that my hands were a bit large for the gun (on the flush mags one of my pinkies wouldn't be on it or would barely be on it) which I remedied by getting the 12 round extended mags, which brings the grip up to the length of the...

Please stop being weird.

Bolt guns are obsolete The vast majority of fighting occurs within 500m, majority within 300m. Also old bolt guns had standards of accuracy that are like 3-4MOA. My understanding is that The Afghanistan ambushes were with .30 cal machine guns, not bolt guns. Edit: This detail might be best...

"Preponderance of evidence" is basically that standard already.
