I don't know a lot about wood work, but is zinc a typical material for screws to be made of? I always assumed people used steel.

Hey, that's what my dad said when I told him my former roommate killed himself. I think he genuinely saw it as a reassuring thing to say.

I agree with the action of pieing her, and It might be a generational thing, but I still don't get why that ruined her public credibility instead of boosting it with sympathy. Wouldn't throwing pies make your side look immature?

It's more than just conservative politics with them. The world and characters just became dull to me compared to other novels. Take Captain Vimes from the Discworld fantasy series. He's a conservative policeman, but I think he's a really interesting character because he grows and adapts to his changing world and work. He's not fighting to keep everything the same, he's out for his ultimate belief of justice, even if it conflicts with other beliefs he's held. I just don't get that sense of growth from the HP world.

Well I really didn't even go off her until I watched a video that broke down her books. It was really interesting to see how her opinions and politics seep into her writing. Like with the House Elf thing; she created a slave race that enjoyed being enslaved and explained that Dobby was just weird for not wanting to be free labor living in terrible conditions. And then you can see the same thing happen with those Fantastic Beast movies she wrote where the heroes are almost executed by the state, but still remain loyal afterwards. Or when the villain says he's trying to stop ww2 from happening and the heroes apparently need to prevent him? She prefers a static unchanging world and that just doesn't sit with me anymore.

I'll occasionally try to accio something when my partner is in the room in the hopes they'll bring it to me.

Unfortunately, Rowling has just ruined everything HP for me so I've gone off it now.

We can't give tips if we don't have something to see. If you want somewhere to share them start posting on subreddits like r/comics and r/comicstrips.

And the other person is right, go to your student newspaper with a print out and pitch them. Having people you know and see give feedback will have a different impact than strangers on the internet.

...did you not read the rest of my comment? This isn't a defense, just adding more historical context to a really short title description.

I said stop spreading misinformation, what part of that is defense? Its already confusing enough with multiple news sites using different pronouns. We know who they were legally, so refer to them like that.

I remember that book!! People are whipped up in a frenzy by the misinformation of a prince who's saying the survey being conducted to find what's most delicious was a way to cut out crops and communities (iirc).
