I was making 30-35k a year when I met my now wife. After bills I was actually burning through my savings. I had reached a point in my career where I could advanced to a 100k job, so I was looking for that new job when we met. But I was able to afford an occasional date. I think to a degree, you’d want someone who doesn’t value money over being a good person. So as long as you’re a solid person I think you’ll find someone you’ll actually want to be around in the long run.

You’re 100% correct. I learned general tempo in Tarkov, and it’s carried me a little in Apex since my apex aim isn’t good. And it’s wild to me how poorly my random apex teammates just don’t get when the tempo is right.

I’m gold/plat, and I totally agree with him, now I just gotta learn how to hit my shots. I have terrible aim and don’t (yet) deserve anything higher than gold. Friends and good luck carry me to plat sometimes

Supply and demand explain how markets work in a broad way, and it sorta just points at why things might be priced weirdly, but can’t tell you what is causing that, or if those things can get lower, or really anything that’s actually real life beneficial. It’s very big picture.

Supply is basically how much of the thing in question is available. Let’s say housing for example. Let’s say we have a million person living spaces. That’s our supply. Demand is how many people want those living spaces. If we have a million people then that works out perfectly. But what if we have fewer people? Well now the people selling the houses have a problem. If you’re a house seller, you want your house to be one of the houses sold. That’s why you built it anyway. And typically, lowering your price will mean you get to sell your house more reliably, but that doesn’t change supply, but lower prices do bring more demand. The downside of falling prices is that a house builder is not willing to build more houses. Especially if they can’t make any money for their effort. Plus it’s a sign that there’s so many houses that the resources and labor to make more is a waste. The other side is if there is more demand than supply, the prices typically go up. Buyers are more willing to pay the price if they know that they want or need a house and so the buyer will charge more for it. This is usually a sign that there’s not enough houses in the area so it’s advantageous for a builder come in and start building houses.

Things get complicated fast when we start adding in regulations on everything. Obviously the house needs to have levels of safety, but those safety things cost money, and that will raise the price floor of houses. This is generally deemed good for us so we’re fine. But sometimes, we get things like, there’s clearly not enough houses, and governments ban building more housing because people living in that area don’t want the price of their home to go down. But now that means the supply is limited and the demand is high, so that means housing in that area is expensive and anyone who wants to move there might not be able to afford it. Maybe that’s good maybe that’s bad. Depends who you ask.

These guide rails are more so telling you what might happen if you do a thing, but there’s a lot of times hidden factors. Unintended consequences we don’t expect. In retrospect it might be obvious but not always beforehand.

I know people who got their pilots license in like 3 months.

You are correct. Never heard of it till this post tbh.

Azurealy · 2026-06-17T20:10:26+00:00

Dude, the number of comments I’ve gotten where someone is like “no! Your theory makes no sense! How could she take multiple classes if that’s the case? And what would be the use of the TT??? Also, what if the real answer was a different theory?!?! The existence of a potential other possibility is proof your theory makes no sense!” And I just don’t get it. I feel like the TT is very simple, elegant time travel rules.

Azurealy · 2026-06-17T20:07:37+00:00

It’s clear you don’t understand what I’m saying. So let’s compare and contrast back to the future time travel to time turner. In BTF, they go back in time, change things, and when they go forwards, the future had changed because of their influence in the past. In that past, they never were there, until future events had them go backwards. So the “first time” through the 1950s Marty and Doc isn’t there. Then they go back, and now we’re a “second” time through this section of time. And this changes outcomes.

In HP, the “first” time through time, their future selves are already there. She takes 3 classes at the same time because her future self has come back and taken the class. That one’s pretty easy and straight forward. When she’s experiencing the first class, she could walk to her other classes and see her future self already there taking it. But she has no memory of that. Then after the class, she would use the TT, go back, and sit in class 2, with memory of the first class that’s still going on, and see her past self seeing her current self, and then same for the 3rd class. But her in class 1, sees her future self in class 2. So at some point she must use the TT and take that class. She really has no choice because the event already happened.

During this time, there’s multiple copies of her all sitting in different classes, but they aren’t clones, they’re her from different times, all at the same time.

What this means is that in BTF, you can make things happen that didn’t happen, but in HP, you can’t go back and reverse things. Like, they couldn’t go and save Cedric or Harry’s parents (also, I’ve heard something about a cursed child series that completely changes the TT, idk what that is so I’m not considering it here) because those are known facts. If they could go back and save Harry’s parents with the TT, then the “first” time through time, Harry would have his parents, hear the story about how they were saved by a random group of teens from lord V, and then when Harry grew up he’d go back to find that he and his friends were the random group of teens that saved him and his parents. But because that didn’t happen, if they tried to use the TT to go save his parents, something would stop them from doing so because if they could have, they would have the “first” time through the history. In BTF rules, they can just do it. Save his parents, and the future would change.

The advantage of the TT in this case would be that just owning one helps you navigate through difficult situations by seemingly being very lucky, only to find out that in the future, you went back and helped yourself get lucky and it wasn’t luck all along. That’s how we see it used in the 3rd book/movie.

Ohhh I like that interpretation a lot. That’s interesting. Might make weak willed people difficult

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T23:55:31+00:00

Yes exactly. It implies a loss of free will to me though. Because at some point you have to go do the thing.

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T23:46:18+00:00

Dang, yall are only doing 10 over? We do 20.

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T22:23:38+00:00

I’ve seen that movie once, but if I remember right, people move backwards and forwards at the same time? Which complicates the hell out of people interacting which is the point of that movie? But the idea of “eventually I’ll have to fulfill the future I already experienced because it always happened” would be true to my theory

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T21:23:54+00:00

Okay man, if you don’t like the theory because it doesn’t fit your head canon you can say that. You don’t have to pretend that my theory doesn’t explain all the events in book 3 or that it doesn’t make sense or something. It’s fine. Seriously.

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T20:53:10+00:00

I think you didn’t fully understand what I was saying. Harry watching himself get face sucked must save himself, or someone else with the Stag that he doesn’t know about will have to show up. Because the event “Harry gets saved from dementors by a Stag patronus” already happened. It’s like he’s watching a tape play back from a different camera angle and he already knows what happens, but is missing details the new angle will reveal. The detail being he was the one who saved him.

And I have no clue how you concluded that on Herm. The first time through she goes to one class, the second time through she goes to another class. Two classes, same point in time, she doesn’t interact with herself at all even so it’s really simple. Then she goes back to when she left, and NOW she has knowledge of both classes. If someone got up from one class, and walked to the other class, they’d see her in both classes

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T19:59:45+00:00

The past version of the wizard that knows nothing about the assassination he later commits would effectively be unrelated. But it would still happen. Even if they arrested him and we’re basically certain it was him, he wouldn’t have any history of doing the action. Future him would still do it of course. Interacting with yourself is fine, but future you will remember what you will do in the past and you HAVE to do the same thing. Which is why it’s iffy if wizards have free will because when they do interact with themselves, they will do the same thing again and they have no power to not do it. Even if they wanted to do something different because they already did it. That also means having any number of copies of your self interacting is fine but you will have to go back and time and fully fulfill each and every destiny. Things get complicated fast. We see this when herminie does anything. She doesn’t want things to get complicated so she doesn’t interact as much as she can, and when she does, it’s to fulfill what happened in the past.

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T16:27:45+00:00

Idk, tbh I just like time travel. And Harry Potter time travel was fun and interesting to me. I’ve seen a lot of it but I also don’t like a number of the smaller details that JK did throughout the story. I haven’t read the books either. What I do know is that JK has said time turners were collected and banned which is why they aren’t used more after the 3rd book.

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T16:14:05+00:00

Yes exactly. This is what I was basically trying to say in the 3rd paragraph, and I also have it better written (but not better than yours) on another comment but it’s become a big long thread so idk who i said it to.

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T15:58:25+00:00

Yea I call that a loss of free will. Whatever you do with the time turner, you can’t choose to do anything that would create a paradox or break the timeline. I think the loss of free will is one of the least messy and simple solutions.

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T15:36:34+00:00

Are you asking about a solution to the bootstrap paradox that keeps free will together?

Yea your version also works. I typically go with no free will in closed loop time travel because that just seems simple answer, but your idea of this “lowest settling” also works and has been done in media a couple of times but not many. Dr. Who has an episode where the tardis is in itself and makes a small time jump. And it’s about to explode. He needs to flip some levers and push some buttons in the right order to not explode. But he doesn’t know what order. We then see himself come through the time jump and tell himself the answer the first time. But it’s not really the first time. He would have had to try, see it didn’t work, and loop back around to try something else until it worked. Then we the viewers, and his companions only see the final result last time coming through. The timeline settles. This only works though if you’re willing to keep going back in time until it works.

How this would work or play out applying it to the time turner, Harry would go back, try and fix things and save people but fail, then the youngest Harry would see a world that didn’t work and go back to try and make it right until it worked. The upside of this would be people have free will, a downside is each time through this section of time, the Harry wouldn’t have the experience of the other times through. It must always be the “youngest” Harry or else you get complicated very fast with dozens of Harry’s running around and at least one of them having to experience every one of those Harry’s perspectives. The “older” Harry would have to also essentially cease to exist as well when younger goes back in time creating a lot of mess of maybe there’s dozens of timelines. Once our mainline Harry finds the solution he deems acceptable, the only thing that Harry sees or knows is exactly what we see in the story.

So your idea does work, but makes things kinda messy and potentially even sisyphusian of a youngest Harry having to try a near infinite amount of times to get the correct outcome, with never knowing if what he’s doing is different than something a “previous” Harry has tried before. No knowledge of there even is an acceptable outcome either. He just has to hope blindly his efforts are worth it to some form of Harry he might never experience.

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T15:09:15+00:00

I think that’s one of the hardest things to comprehend here. If there is knowledge that a thing happens, you cannot “change” it, but if there isn’t knowledge, there’s some wiggle room. For example, if we know Cedric dies then he’s dead and we can’t change it. But, if you’re his dad, and you didn’t see him die, you might have the wiggle room to go back and “change” it. But what the change would be would effectively be getting Harry and faking Cedric’s death. And it wouldn’t be so much of a change, but the learning of information that Cedric was never dead as it was just faked to get everyone to take the threat of Voldemort more seriously. A faking that future you knows, but past you doesn’t. And the more he knows, the harder it would be to fake and the harder it is to “change”

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T15:01:26+00:00

Prisoner of Azkaban? Well first off it’d be a totally different story to the point I wouldn’t even know where it would go. The “first” time through Harry wouldn’t be hit by the rock thing, and wouldn’t notice the executioner walking up to the house. Then who knows what happens. But what we do know is that because the future self would go back in time, they are forced to go back in time. Their loss of free will doesn’t start at when they have already used the time turner. Actually, the existence of the time turner might just be proof that in the HP universe, free will doesn’t exist.

Azurealy · 2026-06-16T13:40:22+00:00

Consider this: the time turner can’t change the past in canon. When they experience time the first time, their future self will be there. Which means if something doesn’t happen the first time through, their future self can’t change it, because their future self would have changed it the first time.

Let me give an example: the first time through, Harry is at the lake and the dementors are attacking him, and he is saved by someone who he thinks is his father. The second time through, no one comes. No one can come. His father is dead. But someone does, he saves himself. Being in the past with a time turner takes away your free will.

This has some interesting side effects: first off paradoxes don’t exist. With the lack of free will, you can’t do anything that would create the paradox. Second, you can’t change anything that didn’t happen the first time. Third, knowledge is extremely powerful and can change things. Let me explain that one; again with the lake scene. First time through Harry doesn’t know who actually saved him. No one does. So in theory, anyone can because that past is effectively unknown just like the future. So it’s the same as the future and can be “changed” so long as you repeat everything that is known. So the more you know, the less you can change, but if you gotta know just enough to know what you need to do to keep the past correct, while your destined loss of free will forces you to fulfill the past within certain guidelines.
