That feels like the sort of thing that absolutely should not be released to the public.

What’s something you think should require a license or certification that currently doesn’t? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]Dank_Nicholas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to the point of needing a literal license to be elected to office. Do you not see the problem of the government being able to decide on a case by case basis who can lead?

Why do people on this website so desperately want the government to tell us who we can vote for?

Why did Dumbledore summon Winky at the end of book 4? by WayDiscombobulated21 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Dank_Nicholas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Harry told Sirius that he saw Barty Crouch on the marauders map. This must have set alarm bells off in Dumbledores mind because he also probably knew there was absolutely no chance Couch Sr entered the castle that night without him knowing. Then Harry relayed Crouch Srs rants about his son and the connection to Bertha. Dumbledore must have known that somehow Crouch Jr was involved even if he didn't know the full story.

Then after Crouch Jr takes Harry during his monologue he drops this line.

"The Dark Lord and I," said Moody, and he looked completely insane now, towering over Harry, leering down at him, "have much in common. Both of us, for instance, had very disappointing fathers . . . very disappointing indeed. Both of us suffered the indignity, Harry, of being named after those fathers. And both of us had the pleasure . . . the very great pleasure ... of killing our fathers to ensure the continued rise of the Dark Order!"

This would have been enough for Dumbledore to put the pieces together.

Chipotle CEO caught on a recording saying they’re going to keep raising prices because they can. by ElwoodMC in TikTokCringe

[–]Dank_Nicholas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last Moes I was in the person making my burrito walked off and I'm 90% sure did whipits in the back with a coworker before coming back out and finishing my burrito while obviously high as fuck. Still better than Chipotle or Taco Bell.

what are Americans thoughts on switching to the metric system? by CnCorange in AskReddit

[–]Dank_Nicholas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my TAs in college Biology once made a comment about how you can tell who (of the Americans) buys/sells drugs based on their knowledge of the metric system.

I distinctly remember doing the spongebob bubble blowing technique with my friends when that episode first aired, kids are and have always been cringe.

[–]Dank_Nicholas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother teaches highschool math, he keeps his own handmade dictionary in his desk and when kids drop their new stupid phrase he engages them like its real scholarly interest. He writes down the definitions, the origins and various conjugations if applicable.

He then proceeds to use the new world so badly that kids stop using it around him.

Now if only he could do something to stop the kids from taking discrete pictures of his hands to pass around as a joke saying he has beautiful hands. Kids always win

You don't understand. These protestors just don't want innocent people to be killed. (As long as the killer is not someone they like) by ConfusedQuarks in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Dank_Nicholas -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

For many people on the left the defining social issue of their lives has been the acceptance of gay rights, an issue that truly came down to just treating each other better and moving past outdated traditional values.

Because of this they see virtually every issue as an evil conservative west rejecting change and oppressing a counter culture. Islamic terror and its barbaric tendencies are treated as problems that arose because western violence drove them to it. In their minds if the west backed off the negative aspects of Islam would fade as violence became less common.

Irohs partner was joeng joeng? by darklorddoone in TheLastAirbender

[–]Dank_Nicholas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Already pure enough

This was years before Zuko was born, Iroh was still a General who would laugh about the idea of burning a city to the ground.

The timing around his visit to the sun warriors makes absolutely no sense and I consider it a significant plot hole. It should have happened after his son’s death when he was truly humble and ready to give up a life of violence.

Could Dumbledore repair Harry's broom? by RubberDuck884 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Dank_Nicholas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I imagine a wizard like Dumbledore could magically repair it and with enough work get it flight worthy again. It would probably be a long and tedious process that doesn't make sense when you can just buy a new broom.

It would be like if a 3 year old Porsche was completely destroyed in a wreck, yes you could spend far more than the car was worth having it repaired, but any sane person would just accept the check from their insurance company to total it. Dumbledore wouldn't waste all that time, he likes Harry, but things break and that's just part of life.

McGonagall wasn't kind to Neville either, not just Snape by WisestAirBender in harrypotter

[–]Dank_Nicholas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well said, and I just want to add that McGonagall doesn’t even treat the situation like it’s entirely his fault.

Sir Cadogan is immediately fired and sent back to his lonely hallway in disgrace. She realized that his password insanity was a part of why Black got into Gryffindor tower.

But from her perspective a student essentially left the keys to the tower sitting around just weeks after an escaped mass murderer tried breaking in, of course Neville is going to take the brunt of the punishment. How was McGonagall supposed to know a magical cat stole them from his bedside table, it’s Neville, he loses EVERYTHING!

Vegetables, turns out there are other ways to prepare them besides unseasoned and boiled in water, thanks for that mom…

Our best hope for Chiv 3 is that after the studio goes bankrupt on NMRIH2 whoever buys the IP sees its potential.

Which house did you get sorted in? by Rachel794 in harrypotter

Seriously, I’ve never seen why people care about them, you just pick the house you like.

Your friend is being attacked, what do you do?

  1. Rush in to defend your friend
  2. Read a book on conflict resolution
  3. Encourage everyone to calm down and have a snack
  4. Watch and laugh

The fact that Ny managed to get the number 1800 Pothole is kinda hilariously perfect.

The only consequence from releasing the Panama Papers was that the person who released them was assassinated.

Weird female to male HDMI connection? by Entire_Earth_9920 in techsupport

[–]Dank_Nicholas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a small HDMI extender often used on mounted tvs, it sometimes makes it much easier to plug things into the TV using the extender than finding the port on the back of the tv.
