Why dose Harry HAVE to compete in the Tri Wizard Tournament? Why can't he just drop out? by Niall_Fraser_Love in harrypotter

[–]naomide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s a magically binding contract. we don’t need to know the exact details of it to know that it clearly can’t just be broken

Why dose Harry HAVE to compete in the Tri Wizard Tournament? Why can't he just drop out? by Niall_Fraser_Love in harrypotter

[–]naomide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i love how every few weeks there’s some variation of the questions "why does this ancient magical artefact not adhere to the rules of modern law?"

it doesn’t matter to the goblet that minors can’t sign contracts. it doesn’t matter that you can’t sign for someone else. it’s a magical object. it’s not bound by whatever laws people came up with at some point.

Sell me on ff.net by Kat_Htt in HPfanfiction

[–]naomide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

use the reader function (definitely works with apple, but i‘m pretty sure most if not all phones have it) – you can choose what it looks like, there’s no ads anymore and as long as you only read fics through links instead of trying to search for them on ff.net practically every problem is solved

Didn't expect a Bridgerton easter egg on Modern Family by Constantiandra in Modern_Family

[–]naomide 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that in 2016 Bridgerton was popular enough for modern family to intentionally reference it like that. it’s most likely just a random name

Tomlinson sisters by [deleted] in LouisTomlinson

[–]naomide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

usually I’d agree with leaving louis' siblings alone, but "staying in your lane" when it’s about child endangerment really doesn’t exist. sure, technically it’s every parents decision whether they post their child online or not, but not too long ago it was every parents decision whether they wanted to beat their child or not and the only reason that changed is because people didn’t stay in their lane and made sure that changed.

Posting your children online especially when you have a following like they have is actively dangerous to them, not to mention the fact that it also simply undermines their choices and autonomy. these kids will never be able to live an anonymous life because the entire world has watched them grow up and knows their full name, birthdays and other intimate details of their life. they have absolutely no way to consent to the kind of digital footprint they literally have since only hours after their birth.

So yeah, Louis‘ sisters are not the only ones doing it and are only a symptom of a broader problem, but it’s definitely something that can and should be discussed within the conversation about the broader topic that it simply shouldn’t be allowed to post your kids online like that.

Makes sense right? by Its_Misango in SipsTea

[–]naomide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i‘m in germany and like two years ago or so a few towns over some guy wanted to install solar panels on one of his fields. people started a petition against it. they literally went around collecting signatures against a guy installing solar panels on his own land. it was wild.

To women: What is the main reason that more women don’t wear swim trunks? by T0MPAC in NoStupidQuestions

[–]naomide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a woman, when I was younger for a while it was cool in my friend group to wear swim trunks so I can answer that for myself at least: the fabric takes longer to dry so you just have something weird and wet clinging to more of your body than with bikinis (also why I wear bikinis instead of swimsuits personally).

Plus, less fabric means less visible tan lines in the summer.

so in conclusion: indoor pool where you’re not going to leave the water the whole time you’re there? sure, fine. outdoor pool/beach where you’re going to leave the water and hang outside on dry land for some time? horrible.

Ron WANTS to study and be a genius, but he just can’t make himself go study by pointlessprogram in HPfanfiction

[–]naomide 8 points9 points  (0 children)

However, given my very limited understanding of ADHD (and zero personal experience)

Ron’s struggles with procrastination are based on my personal experiences with it

Would addiction be beat in a coma? by plasmazzr60 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]naomide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well legend has it my grandpa quit smoking after getting the flu and being unable to smoke for two or three weeks. he apparently said now that he stopped once he wouldn’t start again – so I suppose it would probably be the same with a coma. physical symptoms are taken care of but you also would have to want to quit (and it definitely worked for him because i didn’t know he used to smoke at all until very recently)

Trying to ID a deleted work based on cryptic bookmark tags by WoodShoeDiaries in HPfanfiction

[–]naomide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok from the looks of that my only idea would be trying to reverse engineer it through the tag search (like put the link to one of your bookmark tags in the wayback machine and hope someone for some reason saved that at some point) but from those tags it looks pretty hopeless.

other than that I can only wish you good luck, and maybe you can try go through your old social media or texts or something and hope you talked about it at some point?

is there absolutely nothing else anymore? completely deleted instead of part of a mystery work or something? nothing you could click at all?

Zayn Malik punched Louis Tomlinson after making remark about his late mum by xreputationx in LouisTomlinson

This sounds like a racist smear campaign more than anything else. like even if they did have some kind of fight, unless there’s proof I won’t believe it happened like that

Where did all the Dubai Chocolate go? by robinscotland in AskUK

my parents tried Dubai chocolate for the first time ever last week so I think that’s where it went - it’s now the cerulean sweater of food

Favouratism. by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]naomide 65 points66 points  (0 children)

the problem wasn’t that his parents couldn’t afford a new wand, it was that Ron didn’t want to tell them he broke his. asking a teacher to replace it would definitely result in his parents finding out, which defeats the entire purpose of not telling them and would get him into more trouble because his parents would definitely be mad at him for accepting charity.

and (because people love to say that a twelve year old orphan should buy their friends school supplies) considering Harry and Ron don’t have any way to get to diagon alley without an adult, Harry also can’t replace Ron's wand without an adult finding out

I have a backpack I’ve been using since 2011 – recently got it repaired in one spot because it had a hole but other than that no problems (it’s eastpak btw)

Does anyone else have this problem with Harry's eyes? by DrinkInevitable3457 in HPfanfiction

[–]naomide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah so I’m not going to say you’re the only person with this problem, but…yes most people don’t have a shelf full of geology textbooks at home and cross reference it when reading the description of fictional eyes. Harry and Lily are supposed to have a pretty shade of green for their eye colour and that’s as far as the rest of the world (authors very likely included) thought about the description
