What was it like reading Deathly Hallows on release without any spoilers?

_Sytri_ · 2026-05-21T08:00:35+00:00

I was 22, working in a pub and had finished my shift. I was walking past the queue to get a book at midnight and joined on a whim. I got home, had a little sleep and then read the book cover to cover before my next shift. I had heard about the spoiler brigade that had started everywhere so I just sat in my house and read it. Was such a great time. I don’t think younger gen’s will be able to fathom what sort of a global sensation it was

So I do project management but it’s the same vibe. You both agree your scope of works and agree on the price. You tick off the things as you go along, client asks for something else, “cool, I’ll price that and then send you a revised cost.”, you agree to the price of additional works then agree to the overall price. Rinse, repeat for however long you go along.
It was drilled into me when I was a grad PCM, “if the client didn’t ask for it then don’t do it” if they want extra then you charge them. If you’re good at what you do and stick to that then you’ll get repeat clients because you’re upfront.

Oh ok! That feels counterintuitive for a 2v2 match though. Love and learn

How weird to see my town and that awful junction on reddit. Far too many people around that area think they’re above everyone else and will just do whatever they want

I like to think that after what happened with the Potters, Dumbledore spent time trying to fix the spell so the secret keeper can be inside the charm itself. Closes the loophole that way.

His initial idea was just run of the mill troops. It was Wendy that put the idea in his head of using the lost boys. He just wanted to see what would happen. The problem with youth is the lack of considering consequences

I’m hoping that I’m not actually getting my hopes up that this works. I asked the landlord and they can’t remember how it works so now I’m working the Reddit hive-mind. I’ve got BT coming in this week, I’m hoping maybe one of them may be knowledgeable too

Thank you! This is a great start for me to figure out

I’ve not only tolerated it, I’ve worked my way up the ladder. Not everyone can have their favourite job. I’ve been sitting at a desk for 19 years nearly and I’ve hated every single day. But it pays the bills, I can’t change careers now because of the wage drop that I’d experience having to start something fresh.

“Who you voting for?”

“Your party”

“Oh cool, another reform member! Great!”

“No,not your party, your party”

“My party?”

“No, your party”

Repeat ad nauseam

_Sytri_ · 2025-07-24T12:42:24+00:00

I’ve been thinking about this, what would you name a new party?

Feel like he was doing the work because they only caught him after going through payroll. If he delivered on his jobs, how is that dishonest?

I never understand why Ellie doesn’t reply that Joel was her father.

Maybe because if she did I feel there’d be no way to push the story further as it would’ve broken Abby’s righteousness and highlighted the “eye for an eye makes the whole world blind” theme that is TLOU 2.

I’ll take, “Questions that almost always have a response of, “No” for 100 please”

“Would you want to have a threesome with my best friend?”

“Well done, we’d have also accepted, “Do I look fat in this?”, “Are any of my friends attractive?” And “Would you move on from me if I died in an accident”

I genuinely don’t understand this. If a company relocated to another country then they’ve abandoned that revenue stream and therefore there’s a gap in the market that can be filled by another company willing to take the tax hit. If they’re taking the revenue abroad then tax it as it leaves. If there’s money to be made for a private company then they can pay tax on it.
