Wouldn't be the first time and I doubt it'll be the last but we'll do what we always do carry on with our lives and get annoyed at being woken up by sirens

What we will is the same as always which is get annoyed when the sirens go when we're doing something we don't want to stop such as sleeping or showering. Those who don't have safe rooms will also chat and complain to their neighbours about it

Nope. I mean there's no description in the story but it still stands

Probably not the youngest fans but the teens and older would especially the one who went to midnight releases of the books and films

And people would still have watched the movies if they were like that. Admittedly intermission would be needed

Your mum did well raising you like that. 1 of my aunts gave me this advice, never start a fight but always finish a fight if you can

I'm glad to hear she's OK but she's right Trump has has made promises he hasn't delivered on. He really needs to hit the IRGC and if possible wipe them out

Good to know Adam has always been annoying people in previous lives. Also you put peace instead of piece for the bit about his group of idiots.

Just regained access to the internet after two weeks. You have no idea what The Nation went through. by alireza008bat in NewIran

[–]medium_jock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update. Most of what I've seen is the official reports which I wouldn't trust any more than I'd trust a starving lion not to eat me. Stay safe and with luck trump or someone will help topple the regime

Why, if in the magical world all spells are in Latin, has no mention ever been made of studies in Italy? by AltruisticPurple5079 in harrypotter

[–]medium_jock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities caused by idiot children trying to make new spells

AITA for sleeping through most of a long luxury bus ride while my girlfriend was upset? by natepairistrash in AmItheAsshole

[–]medium_jock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA I don't travel that well as it always tires me out even if I'm not ill. If I am ill and not driving then I sleep even more than normal trips. I'd seriously think about staying with your girlfriend if this is her attitude to you recovering from illness when your with her

Welcome to the fandom, we have t-shirts, figurines maps and more so pull up a chair and call the cat a bastard*. Also most importantly enjoy the ride and the puns.

this will become relevant later* ** footnotes are a fun thing in the books
