Imagine a vampire getting frustrated with a realtor because this is the fourth time they've arrived at a house they're interested in to do a walkthrough but the owners aren't home and the realtor, as someone who doesn't have ties to the memories created in that home, can't invite him in.

This also has fascinating implications for house flippers. If you only live there while working on it, have you not amassed enough "home power" to keep vampires out? Does the power of your previous home follow you to a new address if it's mostly the same decor?

Someone make a "grand moth tarkin" meme for me, please. I'm too lazy.

Ah yeah, didn't read that way haha. Thanks for clarifying 💙

That is for sure. There is no question that it is an asinine attempt by the GOP to weaponize the law, rather than a genuine attempt at protecting Jews in any way, shape or form

Not be contrarian, but this is a common misconception. Hate speech IS protected speech in the US, but it can be used to enhance the punishment of a related crime into a hate crime.

It can also, under specific circumstances, be considered "fighting words". But again, that depends on the specific context and is not broadly true.

This is one of my least favorite facts, but it is unfortunately true

And when you see someone conflating all Jews with the Israeli government, you are free, nay encouraged, to call that shit out.

But guess what's NOT happening in this thread? Or this entire comment section?

Israel is committing genocide.

Sincerely, your friendly neighborhood Jew

I'll take the downvotes to point out the political reality:

Raising money is literally the DNC's primary role. It is a coalition of people raising money collaboratively, with the understanding that agreeing to the party policy as a group is a requirement for being a member of the group.

So when he says that Hogg is stealing his spotlight and making it difficult to build the network he needs to raise funds, he's not out of line.

He is INCREDIBLY shortsighted in failing to connect "supporting good candidates" with "ability to secure votes" which itself is a necessary component of long term fundraising. But let's call a spade a spade: raising money is what the DNC is all about, by definition, and without those funds they have no purpose, let alone ability to promote candidates

In my lexicon, educators and teachers are not synonymous :3

But yeah, you are totally correct

This is just "what educators have known about education for decades" in meme format.

Different people do best learning in different ways. And different people learn different subjects at different rates. Grouping people my age, putting them all in lectures during the day and having them all do task work at home is not a good solution to education.

It was great when it was introduced, because it brought the majority of uneducated people up to a minimum level where they could read and do arithmetic. But compared to what we COULD be doing now that we know more and are better at it, this sort of industrial era "factory line" approach is idiotic.

And educators have known it for a long time now. Government just hasn't caught up

And this is why Tesla is a danger to everyone INCLUDING the people who could actually be saved by real, well-tested, extremely safe autonomous vehicles like Waymo et al.

TESLA IS NOT AUTONOMOUS DRIVING

ACTUAL AUTONOMOUS DRIVING IS SAFER THAN HUMAN DRIVERS

Fuck fuck fuck I hate this timeline so much. We could be saving lives but NOOOOOO we get this bullshit instead

Wouldn't the legpit be the pocket created at your hip when your leg is folded against your body?

The issue I have with this line of reasoning is that there are equally whimsical, better written series that just didn't have good fortune to pop off the way HP did.

It's marketing. And cover art. And simple timing of fads. It sucks. And it funded a horrible person through pure happenstance
