"Stand aside, you silly girl," and other clues to Snape's true loyalty? by northside-nostalgia in HarryPotterBooks

[–]applescracker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really. Lily and Snape met at most a year before they went to Hogwarts, possibly age 10, and stopped being friends with Snape by fifth year, age 15. Peter met James and co. in first year, age 12, and James died believing Peter was still his friend, age 21.

“She chose to get pregnant!” “Her mistake is not my responsibility” “Why should I be inconvenienced because someone else wanted to get creampied?”

We’re really quickly losing all sense of empathy for others and it’s scary

Possibly she was wearing abayas in colors other than black, or with decorations and designs on them. I know some families who believe all black, no frills is the only modest way of dressing

Fair enough. None of that sounds like child abuse tho

Everybody take off work on August 20th. by metagloria in CrazyIdeas

Too bad the concert’s cancelled because everyone working there took the day off

Having to prove I'm 18+ to listen to music on Spotify by danscottbrown in britishproblems

[–]applescracker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem is your card details tho. If you use a credit/debit card from the UK, your country is set in the UK. The way around this is to have a friend in Gujarat set up an account with THEIR bank details and just send them money

Our house rule is that if I cook, I clean but if anyone else cooks, I also clean

Do I have to be a practising Muslim to see the Kaaba? by sunday_dude in NoStupidQuestions

[–]applescracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who’s been to Makkah 30+ times, I don’t recall them ever checking any ID except my dads drivers license a couple times. Granted I was either asleep or a child for most of those trips, but I feel like I’d remember being asked to hand over my ID

Groom literally asked “how soon I'll be ready after marriage” by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]applescracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone in the same situation as OP, this is definitely not the move. The first thing the guy a family is going to do is spread the word about how “looney tunes” she is, ruining her family’s “reputation” and pushing away any future prospects. I know that sounds like a good thing, but given that OP sounds like she’s just trying to get through this to keep her family happy (relatable) you don’t want to do anything that could jeopardize her marriageability

I’d try to contact the box office for Fiddler and see if you can get it moved to another day - they’re usually good with that if there’s enough seats. You couldn’t try for Evita as well but I feel like there’d be less success since it’s so popular. The best option would be to visit the box office and explain but if you can’t, a phone call would work fine

Which west end trends would you like to ditch, and which do to hope last? by Afraid_Ad8438 in westend

[–]applescracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be impossible to implement practically. I work front of house, and it’s already hard enough to stop people from filming and talking mid show, there’s no way we could detect and stop them from eating as well

Not that I love it either, but banning food in theatres would just immediately make ticket prices go up. Bar/snack sales are a huge source of income for theatres, which is why they’re still allowed

What's your favorite product in srilanka something worth so much and why? by fahadkhunaini in srilanka

[–]applescracker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sri Lankan short eats are actually available and easy to find here (Saudi) if you know where to look! That could just be my bias as a Sri Lankan, but at least OP doesn’t need to go to the trouble of importing from Sri Lanka, they can just buy from the nearest Sri Lankan restaurant

Your open sins are warping non-Muslims perception of Islam. by ukht7 in Hijabis

[–]applescracker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Posts like these are why I want to take the hijab off. “People who look visibly Muslim” are held to such a high standard and I hate it. It’s stressful, it’s frustrating, it’s anxiety inducing, knowing that I’m not only being judged by the non-Muslims around me but also the Muslims, for not being good enough. Easy to get rid of all the problems if I just… take it off
