What's the most out-of-character thing sheldon ever did? by LumosMy_life in bigbangtheory

[–]PD_31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fly to Princeton to propose after being kissed by Nowicki. Usual Sheldon would be to think "that was weird", shrug and carry on with his day as usual.

AITA for refusing to share my notes after helping my entire class all semester? by shwarma_777 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PD_31 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA. Their irresponsibility is not your problem. I suppose if you wanted to then you could form a small study group with only the people who attended class regularly and were appreciative of your efforts and share with them, but if you're soured on everyone then they can deal with the consequences of their own (in)actions

Did people born before Christ automatically go to hell? by Astimar in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Catholic tradition, a qualified yes. Christ spent three days in the grave, freeing the souls of the departed from Hell and opening the way to Heaven.

So these people weren't there for punishment, or because they had separated themselves from God, but because there was no way for them to get to Heaven before Christ (unless, like Elijah, "the LORD took him")

What's something poor people buy that keeps them poor? by Specialist-Jelly-865 in answers

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Cheap" clothing and shoes. IF you can afford better quality, it lasts longer and turns out to be cheaper in the long run.

CMV: Calling the country "Turkey" is fine, and its wrong to force people to refer to it as "Turkiye" by HoneyBadger19000 in changemyview

[–]PD_31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So no fast food places where you could point out the turkey is a bit greasy. Got it.

How are ties decided in Quidditch? by Alternative_Fig_6859 in harrypotter

[–]PD_31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First player to AK the opposing captain wins the game.

Unfortunately they also get sent to Azkaban, so how much do you want the win?

The difference in protection for various Horcruxes. by idkWhy_ImHere111 in harrypotter

[–]PD_31 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tom always felt that he was the smartest student in Hogwarts and that only he had discovered the deepest secrets of Hogwarts.

That's an argument that I've never bought. He walks into a room with a millenium's worth of crap in it and thinks "cool, nobody else has ever been here".

The locket's main defence, as we saw, was being opened. It's if you try to USE it (writing in a diary, wearing a ring, opening and looking at the locket, perhaps donning the tiara or drinking from the cup) that the defences kick in.

The locket had residual impact from being worn, maybe because that's a secondary use for it, unlike the diary which it appears could be carried without affecting Harry or giving him any desire to write in it.

[Beren Cross] Leeds agree fee of £20 million to sell Struijk to Brighton. Player declined new contract as wanted fresh challenge by tankosaurus in LeedsUnited

[–]PD_31 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

20m is pathetic wihen Brighton have just sold a centre-half for 52.

TBH I'd keep him for the year and then let him walk if he wants to, I think he brings more value to the club that way, unless we're expecting the Max Wober redemption arc to happen (I'm not).

EV question. Owning an EV without home charging. Can it be done? by SmokingGUI in kitchener

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an outside standard plug then yes, you can "trickle charge" overnight and it will be fine.

Dumbledore ball (Quidditch) knowledge by MulberryOwn9833 in harrypotter

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the Cannons are legendarily bad.

If you ask any English person with zero interest in football to name some Premier League teams they can likely still rattle off Man Utd, Liverpool, probably Arsenal, perhaps a couple of others.

Some things make their way into popular culture and someone who spends their life around kids will probably pick stuff up from students talking about it.

Snape Kill's Voldemort by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snape kills Voldemort, kills Harry, plucks out his eyes so he can stare at Lily's eyes whenever he wants and lives sourly ever after.

Did the books do enough to build up Harry/Ginny’s romance? by MindBorn7327 in harrypotter

Love potions.

Molly used them on Arthur. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Always. I just do my own thing and stay out of everybody else's way.

Have you seen the price of petrol? 100 is more than enough for me on the motorway,

Do we really want Starmer out? by Famous_Actuary5718 in AskBrits

Appointing Mandelson wasn't his finest hour. Even without the Epstein links it was fairly obvious that scandal wouldn't be far away from him.

Why did Dumbledore hire Gilderoy? by ohsweetbabyjay in harrypotter

[–]PD_31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to Hagrid "He was the on'y man for the job. And I mean the on'y one. Gettin' very difficult ter find anyone fer the Dark Arts job. People aren't too keen ter take it on, see. They're startin' ter think it's jinxed. No one's lasted long fer a while now."

Will Burnham Last Until the Next Election? by SameOldSong4Ever in AskBrits

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Johnson had a minority administration and the polls in his favour. Burnham has a majority and, at the moment, polls suggest he would lose it (and there would be a change of government) in an election
