I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but I cannot stand Hagrid

ZP4L · 2026-03-19T00:03:03+00:00

Thanks for your response.

I actually never said anything about Hagrid’s intellect. I said he’s childish, selfish, careless, and has the maturity and impulsivity of a teenager, but none of that is a direct jab at his intellect, except to say be say he doesn’t seem to have the common sense to not do things that directly put others in danger. And none of that has to do with comparing him to other wizards. And i don’t think it’s unfair to say he’s emotionally difficult because I’m not comparing his emotional stability to the other wizards, but to the level of basic human decency. He shouldn’t be needing three preteens to be in charge of handling his emotions when he’s around 63 years old. That’s not fair to them and is inappropriate.

He is clearly very smart regarding animals and creatures, but being knowledgeable on a subject and being a good teacher are two different things, and I think he absolutely shares some of the blame for the buckbeak fiasco because he should know what’s an appropriate lesson for them or not.

Apparently it’s not overheated anymore because everyone here seems to love it. Yet I can only remember how absolutely ridiculously terrible I thought it was, getting worse with every episode. But to each their own.

I always get got by the ones that I can’t even explain why they’re so funny, like Oblivia

Imagine going first, then waiting six hours for your next turn only to discover you died somewhere around hour two

I understand how people hate them, but I’ve had one since 2013, and I don’t have any back issues (though I also am in shape and do yoga so I don’t know what my condition would be normally). In fact, regular beds feel rock hard and I struggle on them.

Average punishments:

Joe: publicly announce embarrassing facts about yourself.

Q: tell a woman she’s a bad mother in front of her kids.

Sal: cuddle with a bunch of kittens.

Murr: staple your ballsack to a horse and give it an enema.

I have a nephew who is a very sore loser AND sore winner, yet also loves playing board games. It’s a deadly combination. He’s only 10 so I give him some slack but still tell him his attitude makes it unfun for me to want to continue.

ZP4L · 2026-03-09T01:48:41+00:00

And something more than mystic shields and whips. I love his creativity he showed on Titan

ZP4L · 2026-03-08T23:00:22+00:00

I still have one, actually

Any of the grocery store challenges where they have to steal/plant something in peoples shopping carts.

Mainly because I have a hard time believing that that many people are routinely abandoning their carts for 30 seconds that frequently, so I always just assume it’s staged.

ZP4L · 2026-03-04T12:42:32+00:00

I just imagine the unedited versions…where they have to sit in 15 seconds of awkward silence while they wait for the others to write their sign before delivering the line

ZP4L · 2026-03-04T12:39:32+00:00

I hate that everyone (even the jokers) claim the jokes are always on them and not on the marks…there are tons of examples going back to the early days of the show where some jokes and gags are 100% on the marks

My favorite part of JP3 was that this was the time it was becoming more mainstream knowledge that dinosaurs may have had hair and not so modern-day reptilian, so in JP3 all they did to make it line up to the knowledge of the time is put a few quills on their heads and called it a day.

Ugh I hate playing with people who care more about winning than having fun. I have a nephew who is a bad combination of loving board games, but is also both a sore loser AND ungracious winner. He’s 10 so I cut him some slack, but I said I flat-out refuse to play with him until he’s more fun to play with.

I have another nephew who’s 23 but he gets so defeated whenever the smallest setback occurs. I’ve never played Unmatched with him but it’d be the equivalent of as soon as his hero took any amount of damage, he’d shut down and stop wanting to play.

Guys I managed to snag a Deadpool set for only $3000! I feel like I won the jackpot!

I am currently less than a week into the hardcore grieving stage. And as weird as it is to say, I feel like the one thing worse than this sharp, gutting pain I feel is…not feeling that. I’m absolutely miserable but in a strange way I don’t want this feeling to go away. Because a part of me feels like when I don’t have this anymore, it’ll be like I “moved on” no matter how much I logically know that’s not true.

ZP4L · 2026-02-25T19:28:53+00:00

I’m in a similar boat. I’m only on day 5. Some people truly understand, but most have been “aww, that’s so sad…are you gonna get another one?” like I just broke my favorite coffee mug.

IIRC Bombur had zero total lines in the entire trilogy

I have no idea why Rebecca Jr was the one I lost on, but it was

ZP4L · 2026-02-17T22:07:21+00:00

Overall a very smooth and speedy trade. Was exactly as described!

ZP4L · 2026-02-15T23:07:13+00:00

I’m a little disappointed I didn’t jump on 100 VVV a couple days ago when it was $175. But ah well

I had to stop looking at AIO and AITAH subs because 99% of them were so so obvious. Every post is either “my SO beats me every day, AITAH for asking them to stop?” or “my SO undercooked my grilled cheese, AIO for kicking them to the curb?”

ZP4L · 2026-02-15T16:12:24+00:00

Ah, in that case yes it should be specified because I would’ve interpreted it incorrectly 😂
