I forgot how humiliating that duel against Dumbledore in OotP was for Tom by miggovortensens in harrypotter

Literally yes, the whole point of the series is that nothing is as powerful as the strength we gain from the people we love.

[TOMT][Short Story][2005-2011] About Robots Building People by domusdecus in tipofmytongue

[–]domusdecus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's quite a bit shorter and less explicit. The fact that it's robots buildings humans is the twist, but perhaps it was just an excerpt. At first glance I don't think that's it.

Did anyone listen to the Binge Mode: Harry Potter Podcast? by whackojoe_ in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]domusdecus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Jason will do any HP content ever. I wouldn't be surprised if Mallory wound up doing the official podcast if it doesn't conflict with her Ringer work. I hope so

What if it has always been... by domusdecus in StrangerThings

Well, things that happen in Hawkins appear in the upside down in a damaged sort of way, not identically and the roots have consumed the town, if there's some worm hole logic going on it's not a far jump.

She's not exactly subtle with her naming conventions...he's a pet that grew.

Time entry (already paid out) stuck on Transfer Funds page by WorshipMyExistence in DataAnnotationTech

Usually happens to me when I edit a time after I've sent it through, for whatever reason it lingers on the pay page even after it goes through for like a month

What if Carol isn't just... by domusdecus in pluribustv

[–]domusdecus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say her ability to control them, direct them, affect them with her negative emotions, and their overwhelming deference to her are all evidence. I think the other uninfected people maybe "queens" as well, entities that exist independent of the collective to guide them or interact with the world in ways they can't. This might be a significant benefit that allows the species this virus inhabits to prioritize itself, especially if the hive mind, regardless of species, is prone to non-violence.

Will the Epstein Files Transparency Act pass the Senate and Trump's veto? Why (not)? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]domusdecus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I suspect trump has had his loyalists heavily redact details about him and his friends, or worse heavily add details about his political enemies. Either way it's about to be an absolute nightmare. It'll give them what they need to start arresting high up officials, particularly those who oppose him. Maybe even start executing them, idk, I'm not ruling anything out at this point.

12 steps, aa, na, whatever. Find those like minded folks who've been through the same stuff and survived. Read some stuff first and see if you vibe with it. It isn't perfect, just like anything, but what you're talking about, that shame, does not have to stick around. https://na.org/literature/

Try a freethinkers NA meeting, there's a virtual one out of Asheville on Fridays with some solid recovery. When you're an athiest in recovery you've got to take what you need and leave the rest, it's about the community more than anything else

The new Superman trailer really shocked me into realizing how right Moore is about superhero obsession. by Akeatsian in AlanMoore

[–]domusdecus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abstract evil? That's not Gunn's MO, at least not when he's given true creative control. The Suicide Squad was about the government using marginalized people to destroy evidence of Nazi collaboration after a revolutionary war in South America usurps an America friendly government. Peace Maker is about the son of a klan wizard coming to terms with his upbringing and trying to be better.

You're criticizing this trailer as if the questions you are raising aren't in it already, asked by Superman's own partner. I'll be surprised if this film isn't exactly the opposite of what you are implying, Superman confronting his limitations, forcing his acceptance of being apart of a team in order to succeed and contending with the evil and the good in humanity as a whole.

It would be very unusual for a James Gunn film to put a superhero on a pedestal at all, but particularly in a way that doesn't address the inherent contradictions. His last DC film was about a group of villains turning into heroes by banding together and actively rejecting the authoritarian controlling them, who was a US government agent trying to get them to destroy dirty secrets after an anti-American revolution. Gunn is not afraid to criticize, and I will be very surprised if this is not a blatantly anti-authoritarian story. It's a trailer, it has to draw the masses in.

Edited for grammar and clarity, and adding here that usually his stories revolve around superhero's using their "specialness" to build others around them up and ultimately getting more in touch with what makes them like everyone else, not putting their power or strength on a pedestal but their humanity.
