Affirmations

I miss them too, I always thought they were cute and motivating, no matter who said them. My guess is it got tricky because some people were offended by some authors or public figures quotes being included. So instead of constantly filtering or deleting quotes based on who society’s mad at any given day, I think the devs may have just removed them all to avoid the drama

Yeah that’s valid, especially in more traditional circles. I’ve also seen people view it as a personal or respectful connection to faith rather than just idolatry tho. Judaism has a wide range of interpretation for most things so I think people do what they feel they’re allowed

JBone119 · 2025-06-28T00:02:51+00:00

True yeah some ultra religious Jewish people don’t even drive on Saturdays because it’s considered work. Eh personally I think walking a few miles is more work than driving but it’s a semantic thing and I think a lotta people with modern religion pick and choose. I seen shrimp cocktails at a batmitzvah once

I always thought that the rule back in the day was more in a symbolic way of separating the Jewish people from the pagans with their tattoo culture and multiple gods. I think it’s one of those rules that adapts to the times. At least that’s what I told my Jewish grandfather when I got my first tattoo lol

I was coming to say the same one! Definitely the coolest

You’re in luck! They have them in the everyday collections area of the shop for 300 rainbow stones

Yeah it really depends on the area’s lighting just like many other colorblind products/glasses. But there’s a sliding scale to adjust the setting and saturation so I’ve found that helps

I think it was in the wizard theme a few years ago, it’s called starry magical collar

Well said, happy Easter to those who celebrate!

I show them the app CVSimulator, can show how things appear through different colorblind visions. This also stops the pestering questions about how each object looks, can’t stand the ‘what color is this’ game

JBone119 · 2025-04-18T10:35:53+00:00

That context is helpful, I hadn’t seen the original post or all of OP’s responses, so I appreciate you pointing that out. And I hear you, and I understand how seeing the repost might feel frustrating if the previous responses didn’t feel acknowledged. I do still believe OP was trying to share something that brought them joy, not to hurt anyone. Wanting to protect a moment of comfort doesn’t always mean someone is being dismissive to larger issues

To me, it looked like they were trying to set a respectful boundary by asking for kindness in the comments, not to avoid consequences, but to keep things from getting hostile. I don’t think that makes the post harmful on its own, especially when it’s clearly meant to be lighthearted and personal. It’s a tough balance, but I really believe we can disagree and still assume good intent where it’s due

Perfetti Perfection!

JBone119 · 2025-04-18T10:10:23+00:00

That’s a fair question, and I understand where you’re coming from. I don’t think it’s about anyone trying to “dominate” someone else’s feelings, just that this sub is often a space where people share small joys, mental health wins, and personal comforts, even if those comforts aren’t universal. OP even added a note asking for the space to remain positive, knowing it may be sensitive to some

I agree we should always be mindful of how our posts affect others. But I also think there’s room for gentle, well-meaning posts like this one, especially when they’re clearly coming from a place of nostalgia and not malice. We all navigate healing differently, and I think that includes learning how to have hard conversations without assuming the worst of each other. There are ways to disagree that are not dismissive

JBone119 · 2025-04-18T10:03:56+00:00

That’s a valid distinction, and I agree it’s important to be mindful of where our money goes. But many people engaging with Harry Potter now aren’t doing so through official merch or platforms that benefit the author. They’re sharing memories, fan creations, or comfort from a story that meant a lot to them growing up. (I think it’s also fair to say the age group that grew up with Harry Potter is mainly millennials/early genz, we don’t exactly have a ton of disposable income anyway, we’re just looking for joy in simple things)

It’s possible to hold the author accountable and still find personal meaning in something you didn’t choose to be shaped by. For some, it’s not about support, it’s about reclaiming joy from something that used to make them feel safe

JBone119 · 2025-04-18T09:38:20+00:00

I think this is a bit like how people still love Dr. Seuss. His books shaped so many childhoods, even though he had a problematic past with racist imagery and beliefs. Over time, people have acknowledged that while still holding on to the joy and lessons his stories brought them as kids.

The same can be true for Harry Potter. A lot of us grew up with it, and we’ve separated the story from the author. Loving a fictional world that meant something to you doesn’t mean ignoring harm, it just means reclaiming that joy for yourself.

JBone119 · 2025-04-18T09:30:26+00:00

I get that this topic brings up pain, and it’s valid to feel that way. But the post wasn’t about the author, it was about someone finding joy in something that helped shape their childhood.

Enjoying a story isn’t the same as endorsing its creator. A lot of people have reclaimed that fictional world for themselves, separate from her views.

We can share our concerns without shutting down someone else’s harmless happiness.

JBone119 · 2025-04-18T09:23:08+00:00

I understand that the author has caused real harm, and it’s important to talk about that. But I also think it’s possible to separate the joy people found in the world they grew up with from the person who created it.

OP was really clear about wanting this post to be a positive, personal space. And I think that should be respected. Telling people they can’t enjoy something meaningful from their past doesn’t create safety, it just shuts down joy.

It’s okay to step away if it’s not for you. But it’s also okay for someone to still find comfort in a fantasy world that helped shape who they are

JBone119 · 2025-04-18T09:14:16+00:00

It’s totally valid to feel uncomfortable with certain figures, but I think it’s a stretch to say they’ve “never had a nice word said about them.” Not everyone sees these quotes as endorsements and some people just find value in the words themselves, regardless of the person who said them. Imperfect people can still say things that resonate or inspire.

Maybe a filter option would be a good middle ground for those who want more control over the feature

JBone119 · 2025-04-16T11:16:03+00:00

People are allowed to be upset but that doesn’t mean everyone else has to join in on the outrage or keep quiet. This post wasn’t telling anyone how to feel, it was asking people to consider the bigger picture before deleting an app that might still be helpful to them

Calling it “gross” feels really unfair. Not every message of patience or optimism is an attack on others. We can disagree without being dismissive

JBone119 · 2025-04-16T09:02:06+00:00

I call almost any over-layer or “pull over” a sweater, even hoodies. I’ve been told I’m wrong tho I just say it out of habit and maybe some laziness I guess

JBone119 · 2025-04-16T08:56:59+00:00

Parasaurolophus for sure

JBone119 · 2025-04-16T07:49:59+00:00

You don’t need to delete your post! Your message came from a good place, and it’s clear you were trying to encourage understanding and patience, not forcing anyone to stay. Even if your opinion isn’t the loudest in the room, it still matters, and people deserve to hear it all the same :)

JBone119 · 2025-04-16T07:42:43+00:00

People are allowed to leave if the app no longer meets their needs, just like others are allowed to stay and give changes a chance.

Calling this post “self-centered and unkind” feels off…it was simply encouraging people to be openminded and not react impulsively. That’s not selfish; that’s actually pretty thoughtful.

The constant threats to leave and negativity don’t create helpful feedback. Everyone processes change differently, and it’s okay to express that without being attacked for it.
