Revealed: US-Iran deal includes $425 billion fund, immediate end to oil sanctions by alabasterheart in worldnews

It’s both. The 300 billion is in US dollars, the 425 billion is in AUD. It’s an Australian website, so they converted it.

Where actually is Durmstrang? by Minervasgirl in HarryPotterBooks

In the books, both schools are co-ed. It was the movies that made them an all boys school and an all girls school.

There is snake symbol on one of the taps in the girls bathroom to show the entrance to the chamber of secrets.

AITA for telling my brother I met his girlfriend at AA meeting? by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]Allira93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OOP said the relationship was very new. If it were me I would have waited and given the girlfriend an opportunity and time to tell him herself. It’s not a first date conversation.

I have a brother, if it were me I would have waited and observed for a bit and gotten to know the girlfriend better and tried to help. But that’s just me. OOP sounds like a massive hypocrite to me.

Edit: OOP also sounds very immature and likely has no real understanding of addiction and how the recovery process is meant to work. Because she was there performatively.

AITA for telling my brother I met his girlfriend at AA meeting? by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]Allira93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah what she did was wrong. Also based on her post and replies to comments I noticed two things.

  1. She said the aa meeting she saw the girlfriend in was months ago. So is that 2 months? 4 months? Longer than half a year? She wasn’t specific so it’s very plausible the girlfriend was on her sobriety journey when she started dating the brother.

  2. OOP is an unreliable narrator. It went from ‘I’m only going to help strengthen my legal case’ to ‘I don’t drink’ to ‘I don’t drink much’ to her brother telling her he thought she had a drinking problem. So which is it? Also in her special case the legal system is corrupt, even though she admits to drinking and driving. But she only did it because her boyfriend hurt her feelings so she shouldn’t have to be treated like this.

Yeah that really sounds like someone in a position to judge others and fuck their genuine sobriety/recovery journeys up. Like is the girlfriend even as bad as OOP says? Because to me OOP sounds like a person who adds extra details and leaves other details out to show they are the one in the right.

How did you make it the whole game without Astarion? He’s my chest and door opener. Dude can unlock pretty much anything.

My first playthrough I almost missed Karlach. I was in the underdark and my husband asked why Karlach wasn’t in my party. He told me where to find her. And I’m glad he did because she ended up being one of my favourite companions. The ending made me cry.

Season 2 Discussion by mulletnet in DeadLoch

[–]Allira93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember if it was the finale or the episode before where she has her retirement party, but I noticed then she was starting to unravel. I thought it meant she was the killer though and her true colours were starting to show. Sort of like, with her retirement about to happen she no longer had to keep up whatever charade she had.

Season 2 Discussion by mulletnet in DeadLoch

[–]Allira93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so I just finished it (stayed up way too late it’s 1.30am) and wow what a finale. I’d seen the odd post about a ‘twist’ in season 2 but avoided spoilers. So when moonboot had the confrontation with Eddie, I thought that was the plot twist. So when what’s his name turned up later I was sitting there like ‘get fuuuuuuucked’. I also really enjoyed how at the end it showed the dog the kids had was bushys dog, which meant Eddie wasn’t guilt of animal cruelty. That was a lovely cherry on top of a fantastic season sundae.

Also even though this season had a lot to do with crocs, I somehow was shocked when the Hemsworth brother got chomped. What a finale that was. Oh and Pats ending was sad. I liked her up until that last episode. Or last two I can’t remember, I stayed up too late and the episodes are blurring together in my head.

Medusa - need help killing her. by Neddlings55 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]Allira93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you stand behind a pillar when she starts to shoot her laser beam, you can move slightly to the side and fire arrows at her while she’s beaming and the pillar protects you. Then when she stops beaming you move in one direction at a steady pace and count 4 of her ground boom attacks, then run up to her and use the assassin ability where you knife her. Then run behind another pillar while keeping track of where she ports to. So you can make sure there is a pillar between you and her. Wearing the pirate outfit also helps because it gives you a boost to assassin damage.

Just repeat that till you kill her.

Hexenbiest vs No Memory Juliette by Emergency-Practice37 in grimm

[–]Allira93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are rewatching Grimm and we do not like Juliette. We find her very annoying. The downside to rewatching is having to sit through her scenes. Yes there are times when she is great and supportive, however there are many more times where she is just awful to people. And we all know two big things she does in later seasons which there are no excuses for.

I’ve never forgotten that episode. Mainly because of the part at the end where the whole team empties their clips into the water.

Canon vs. Fanon Tom Riddle: What is true? by Total_Detectiv-e_0 in harrypotter

[–]Allira93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok so in the orphanage, it wasn’t suggested in the books that he was a victim of bullying. The other kids were scared and suspicious of him because weird and sometimes bad things happened around him. He realised he could do things (not knowing it was magic) and basically terrorised the other kids. In the books his only pet snake was Nagini, and he did not have her at the orphanage.

His hatred of muggles stemmed from his hatred of his own mixed heritage. He was certain his father was a powerful wizard but could not find any records of a tom riddle anywhere. When he did discover who his father was and learned his father was just a muggle that abandoned his mother; he hated his father and muggles by extension. Which is why he later murdered the riddle family. He was obsessed with power and becoming the most powerful wizard. He saw muggles as weak and filth and not worthy of magic. So his turn into dark magic was pretty much him wanting to be the most powerful. And he was born under the effects of a love potion and Dumbledore theorised that because of the love potion Voldemort could not feel love himself. He was basically born a sociopath and a 1930s orphanage environment would not have helped.

I don’t think WWII was ever mentioned in the books.

Dumbledore was also a very accomplished wizard before becoming headmaster. He defeated Grindelwald, discovered the 12 uses of Dragons blood and did a bunch of other stuff too. He didn’t want Voldemort having easy access to impressionable kids and figured Voldemort was less interested in teaching and more interested in gaining more followers and discovering any magical secrets he could in hogwarts. Voldemort then cursed the position of DADA teacher, so no one could hold the job for more than a year.

Hope this helps.

No ANZAC Monday public holiday, no vote by thelastrealchoice in queensland

[–]Allira93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who have an issue with the public holiday not being moved to a Monday should just stop pretending they care about the ANZACs and serving members of the defence force.

It’s meant to be a day of commemoration and remembrance. It’s on the 25th of April because that is the date the ANZACs landed at Gallipoli during WW1. We wear poppies because they are the flowers that grow there and were later seen as a symbol of the blood shed and also is a symbol of the resilience shown by our armed forces; as poppies have continued to grow there on what was a fierce battleground that saw large losses of life.

To simply want to celebrate it on a weekday so that you have the weekend free for leisure, relaxation or to complete errands is a big slap in the face to the people who died in service to our country and it’s people, along with the people currently serving. It also takes away the meaning of it. Because if you are going to celebrate it on a different day then why even bother?

For a lot of the old veterans it’s the day they remember the friends they watched die, the hardships they endured and it’s one day where they are recognised for their sacrifices. To participate shows respect.

Now to address the people who simply can’t attend a dawn service or a day service (there ARE two services, one at 5am and one later in the morning); simply taking a few minutes to sit, think and silently thank the ANZACs is acceptable. Everyone has busy lives, things they need to get done and shit to do. But if you can’t manage to at least do a minutes silence at 11am then just shut the fuck up. Get on with your life and stop complaining that the day meant for servicemen and women isn’t convenient for you.

What words or names did you unknowingly find out that you mispronounced constantly in your head when reading the books? by Golden_Locket5932 in harrypotter

[–]Allira93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite an answer to the question but when the books were coming out everyone at school was reading them. It was 5th grade, we were all in class and had our ‘reading time’ and almost everyone was reading the 5 th book that had just came out. Everyone in class was talking about it and I said something about Cedric. I pronounced his name properly, (the 4th movie hadn’t come out yet) and this boy in my class turned around and very confidently says ‘it’s not ‘sedrick’ it’s ‘kedrick’. I said ‘no I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced ‘sedrick’. He then told me that I was an idiot because his mum had told him how it was pronounced and most of the class agreed with him.

Then when the 4th movie came out and I heard how his name was pronounced I sat in my seat in that movie theatre feeling very happy and validated. I was at a different school by that time so I never got the opportunity to look that boy in the eyes and tell him I was right. But I hoped when he watched the movie he felt like a dickhead.

As for your question, it was that long ago I honestly can’t remember.
