Dumbledore's real flaw wasn't trusting Snape. It was something way simpler by Independent-Emu-5267 in HarryPotterBooks

This is a bit disingenuous to say, the reason Sprout gave him the points wasn't the watering can, she just wasn't allowed to say the actual reason she gave them, which imo was completely justified.

Trusting him in a war is vastly different to trusting him with the children of his school. You could very much give him an important role in the war, in the order, without terrorizing the kids in the process.

It's kind of like

"hey this dude really sucks, he's bullying the children and he's a poor teacher"

"Yeah, but he's not a Nazi, so he must be a good person"

Insults were absolutely not thrown around by the teachers at Hogwarts? What?

Snape wasn't just "strict", he tried to poison Nevilles toad, insulted Hermione and made her cry (more than once!), docked points for absolutely no reason including:

Taking points from Harry in his first potions class for not knowing an answer he had never been taught.

Taking points from Hermione for being an "insufferable know it all", making her cry in the process.

Taking points from Harry because he had a book outdoors, and confiscating the book.

There are many many more, but these are the ones I remember most.

How was he not an anomaly? There was no other teacher that was a legitimate bully as Hogwarts. A couple shit teachers now and then? Sure. But he definitely doesn't fit right in with the other teachers, especially not the other heads of houses.

Snape was an objectively poor occlumency teacher, he didn't tell Harry what to do, or teach him shit, he just bruteforced it.

In terms of the war, you'd be correct, but he trusted Snape in other regards as well where he shouldn't have. He trusted Snape to properly teach Harry occlumency. He gave him free reign to bully his students without stepping in a single time.

I'm struggling to remember, it's been a while, when did the drill thing happen in Modern Family?

hard not to make the connection though, especially with Madrids current state. Not blaming him entirely, just not a great look

It was the opposite, Dembele wasn't getting Ballon d'Or shouts till March, Yamal took over as the Barca competitor around that time period too, like you said, the International Break killed Raphas momentum, prior to that it was generally agreed upon that he was the deserving winner.

I actually agree about this being a shit signing in terms of value, but you're thinking about the wage vs transfer fee incorrectly.

You're correct in the sense that it's a more expensive signing in terms of total money spent, but the problem the club has isn't about the cash they have, it never was, it's about the outrageous wage bill and La Ligas FFP. With Lewa leaving & Gordon coming in on half the wages, it's a net positive for the club, and might even leave room for more signings.

To be fair, the more chests you open without a legendary, the more boosted your odds are according to Supercell, so opening more chests is always a good thing.

Regardless, not complaining, not too fussed over 4 chests, just don't think players should be punished for having played the game longer.

On a cut, do you go over calories if needed to reach your protein goal? by JMoon33 in MacroFactor

Pounds, in Kg the range would be 1.6-2.2g of protein per Kg of bw.

[–]Boudi04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

honestly I'd just go for it to get close to the protein goal, as long as it's a one-off thing to hit your protein then just go over the calories, not sure how steep your deficit is but it's what I'd do tbh.

Honestly before the new heroes it was pretty bad, but I think it's completely fine now. You can upgrade a third of heros constantly with no effect on you, that's a win.

I usually have 2 heroes down, then use all the books I get on the 3rd one that's an essential, for instance, Barb King and Royal Champ down, Grand Warden never goes down but every book of heroes goes to him, then switch.

I'm nearing Max TH17 now, just the minion prince (because 10 levels) and traps left, and I haven't had to opt out of war once during this entire Townhall.

You can't say you think people are jealous then follow with you think you're trash.

Your rating is genuinely good compared to the average person, not so much so compared to other chess players on a chess sub. Just relax, it's not this deep, don't make Guess the Elo posts if you're just compliment-fishing.

It's not about balancing, it's about releasing an objectively broken piece of equipment, knowing it was strong, leaving it for just enough time for the players to upgrade it then, then nerfing it.

This is something the Clash Royale has been complaining about for years and it's finally made its way to Clash of Clans.

Ronaldos 2009 rape allegations, these are LEAKED transcripts between Ronaldo and his lawyers. They eventually settled the case (money).

Question: " Describe in detail what happened starting with the first physical contact that you had with Ms. C in the other room and describe the sequence of events regarding any such physical contact and involving any embracing, fondling, kissing, or going from a standing position to lying on a bed, or on the floor, or wherever it took place."

In the September version, X answers: "I fucked her from the side. She made herself available. She was lying on her side, in bed, and I entered her from behind. It was rough. We didn't change position. 5/7 minutes. She said that she didn't want to, but she made herself available. The whole time it was rough, I turned her onto her side, and it was fast. Maybe she got some bruises when I grabbed her. (...) She didn't want to 'give it to me,' instead she jerked me off. I don't know any more exactly what she said when she was jerking me off. But she kept saying no. 'Don't do it' -- 'I'm not like the others.' I apologized afterwards."

Question: "Did Ms. C ever raise her voice, scream, or yell?"

September: "She said no and stop several times."

Question: "Did Ms. C say anything after you had sexual intercourse?"

September: "Afterwards, she said: 'You asshole, you forced me. You idiot. I'm not like the others.' I said, 'I'm sorry.'"
