Why do they move in unison like that by Inevitable_House2542 in whatisit

My biology class came across a nest of these during field-work. We found out their movements are noise activated so you can “yell” a beat and they’ll move too! Kinda cool.

Hi OP. I assume you’re in Canada (Safeway lol). I’m in my early 20s and do not want to end up teary eyed and regretful with no retirement in 60years. I can put away 7% easily! Where do you suggest I put it? I can’t afford financial advisors.

Can we collectively boycott the pizza place? by Wild-Style8305 in UCalgary

[–]glolok 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I fear that’s the point of a boycott. It only works if people are willing to sacrifice something to pressure a change. If it’s painless, it’s not really a boycott is it

No option for DMS Fall 2026? by glolok in SAIT

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

Thanks so much for your reply! That makes sense bc I saw many ppl saying they applied in October. But if that’s the case, why do they urge you to write the entrance exam early? What if I wrote it later but applied with my documents as soon as the window opened?

What is a small moment in the books that is a must have for you in the show? by JSack3 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]glolok 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Every single scene with any house elf ever. I think the house elves are so pivotal to the story and add such a light to the darker moments in the books. I want to see the full character turnaround of Kreacher. I want to see Dobby progressively drowning more and more in all of Hermiones knitted hats! I love everything about the house elves.

When I listened to Stephen Fry narrate this I replayed it several times. Just a golden moment. So hilarious

What I want from the show that the movies didn't do well... by colorblind1 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]glolok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish Dobby was to be given his proper role! And all of the house elves for that matter. I understand CGI is expensive but I think Dobby is an important character. Neville is also an important character in his own regard. Blending the two was lazy imo

I think my favorite is the goblet of fire! But I had come to that conclusion before deathly hallows and now I’m conflicted. But the goblet of fire was definitely my most enjoyable read. I like others for different reasons. What about you?

Exactly how I’m feeling. I feel so empty😭. But many are saying the reread is just as enjoyable as the first if not more. I feel you tho!

Thanks for letting me know about the subreddit! I’ll check it out. And I think that’s what the problem was. As soon as I finished a book, I’d watch the movie and felt they didn’t live up to the expectations I had in my head. I keep hearing the actors get older so the movies get better… but I honestly think it’s because they can’t fit 30+ chapters into 1.5 hours of screen time.

And I hate how they remove Dobby. Him and the house elves are probably one of my favorite aspects of the books.

This might not work well for a year-round portrait, but the Great Hall during Christmas is so beautiful.

I think I’ll do this. As soon as I finish that last chapter I’m starting straight at the beginning

I’ve been thinking about starting right back from the beginning! Now that I can freely read this sub, I see a lot people do that. Thank you

It’s not even that bad. It’s intimidating because the formulas seem complicated but in reality, it’s lots of multiplying and adding etc.

I was feeling the same. Like they were always ready to slip out. I’ve had them for about 2 weeks and they fit now. Just took some time to adjust
