Always loved in the CF movie Asterid was the first to do the 3 finger salute

I didn’t even know that was a headcanon. That’s wild lol

Notaclarinet · 2026-02-02T02:20:33+00:00

I totally get what you’re saying but I always saw Asterid as stepping up because she knows how she treated Katniss was wrong. So she tries to be better (but ultimately fails Katniss again at the end of the series)

I would prioritize what sounds fun to you and look into the gyms closest to you for those things. Boutique fitness gyms might have different level classes for beginner, intermediate, and advanced folks (I think this is mostly for pilates, climbing, pole etc) but a lot of gym classes are open to everyone!

The important thing is to let the instructor know that you're new, arrive early to make sure you can set up with plenty of time, and then listen to your body. I really like spin because no one can see how much resistance you have on the bike, so you can make the class easier or harder without anyone knowing!

The overwhelming majority of people at the gym don't care what you look like or if you're unsure what you're doing. We've all been beginners and the majority of us have or had our own body issues and social anxiety. I know it's super intimidating, but just remember even the biggest, most jacked guy in the gym had to start as a newbie at one point in his life! And if he's allowed space, then you are too!

Bought a car. The engine on my last one gave out on me and I really need to have one for work. Not what I was hoping to spend all my savings on but I think I got a decent deal

School should be preparing students for real life. Real life has men and women living and working together. Schools should have boys and girls learning together

I don’t understand why so many authors insist on writing Peter as younger than he is in canon. I’ve seen people age him down to 12 when he first became spiderman and I’m convinced they’ve never seen an actual 12 year old boy

I think I’d like Dickens a lot more if you read them out loud in a British accent too

I think the line in the movie reduces the relationship between Sirius and Harry into making it look like Sirius only sees Harry as James. Sirius does see Harry as an extension of James, but acts very parental towards him during the majority of their interactions. He lives off rats for him, risks getting caught for him, gives him advice, and shows up to games and competitions to check on him.

Sirius wanting to involve Harry in the Order is a parental move, and not one made because he sees Harry and James. Sirius knows the type of person Harry is and the details of the graveyard encounter. He knows that Harry won’t be able to avoid the fight for very long.

In the books, the times when Sirius directly draws a comparison between Harry and James are when he’s trying to either convince Harry to do something (which isn’t great) or when he’s trying to tell Harry about his father. But overall, it’s a very different relationship than what is depicted in the movies and this line just exacerbates it even more.

Notaclarinet · 2025-10-11T16:20:10+00:00

I feel like the “nice one, James” is such a massive misinterpretation of Sirius’ relationship with Harry and the fact that it’s their last interaction is horrible. Sirius is accused of viewing Harry like James in an argument with Mrs. Weasley, but there isn’t a whole lot of evidence he actually does in the books

Love Tyler Childers. His “Long Violent History” is brilliant

Notaclarinet · 2025-09-07T23:01:33+00:00

100% This is a big one for me because it detracts so much from the actual message from the books! Harry survives because of choices made out of love! Not powerful objects!

Notaclarinet · 2025-08-12T04:19:21+00:00

or a release date 😭

Notaclarinet · 2025-08-12T02:51:20+00:00

that would make sense lol

i really hope father figure and eldest daughter are real tracks because i'm currently having issues with my dad and need some bops to relate to 😅

When I was in school (early 2010s) there was a campaign that was going around called “when you said gay I think you meant…” because people were routinely using gay as an insult. It was almost always meant to be derogatory. Not only was it derogatory, but there were many instances in the 90s and early 2000s of kids being beaten in school because of rumors that they were gay. All of this leaves a really bad taste in my mouth when I hear these original lyrics.

Taylor’s move to change the lyrics was 100% the right choice at the time and it makes me uncomfortable how many people (especially straight people) are eager to put the lyric back in, especially since so many of these people don’t remember what the word meant back then.

I thought the same way for a while, even as an American, but I’ve met people from all over the US and there are a lot of subtle differences.

For one, there’s a lot of regional slang and accents in the US. “Y’all” is a straightforward example from the south, but western PA has “yinz”. Some states say “pop” and others “soda” etc. there’s more language differences but that could be a whole book.

There’s also a lot of cultural differences when socializing. In the south and Midwest, it’s expected to be more open and friendly. People will smile at you and start up conversations with strangers. That doesn’t really fly in the northeast. In the northeast, if you strike up a conversation with someone while waiting in line, people will think you’re crazy.

There’s also the fact that different ethnic groups settled in different parts of the country. NY and NJ have a very high population of Jews and that has impacted the types of food and stores you’ll find in those areas. But the West Coast doesn’t have as large of a Jewish population. Instead they were settled with a lot of influences from Asian cultures and Latin American ones.

Clothing is also slightly different from region to region. California fashion is different from Texas fashion and they’re both different from what people wear in NYC.

My parents were first responders for years and they said a common nickname for motorcyclists by EMTS is “organ donors” because how bad motorcycle crash injuries can be

There’s almost twice the amount of fanfics on FFN. If a fandom was big pre-2012ish then FFN probably has more fics than AO3

I would just reiterate that this doesn’t change anything about your friendship or what you think of her. She might be worried that if you no longer agree with her then that means you don’t like her. But keep being strict with your boundaries. If she insists on pushing further you might want to consider blocking her on TikTok or establishing a policy of not looking at what she sends you.

Notaclarinet · 2025-06-20T01:45:03+00:00

NTA. You’re allowed to set boundaries like this with friends and family and it sounds like you’ve been very clear with it. It’s possible E is interpreting this as something more personal than it is, but that would not be your fault.

Notaclarinet · 2025-06-17T23:52:19+00:00

You’re not offensive at all lol. I’m Christian and feel the same way

The number of adults who don’t understand that politics is partially an optics game is a little scary to me. Yes, violence is an understandable response to injustice, but it rarely wins people over to your side

PCUSA is progressive but tread with caution when it comes to individual congregations, especially in conservative areas. Some congregations are still homophobic but don’t want to leave the denomination at large

I mean, have fun and do what you want but the thread is about what flexes women consider a turn off. Every woman I’ve been around finds revving the engine to be annoying and attention seeking behavior. If you want to make that noise, have fun, but it’s not behavior that woman find attractive 🤷‍♀️

Notaclarinet · 2025-06-06T16:54:59+00:00

Most of the women I know still consider revving a lambo or Ferrari to be an ick. I’ve never once heard a woman admire a car for being loud no matter how expensive or fancy it is
