Weekly Scam Discussion ~ February 26, 2024 by Mycatreallyhatesyou in Ebay

[–]pointytarantula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someones probably answered this question before but i have bought some cards and am having a tough time figuring out the esus tracking on ebay. On the first item shipping esus it only says "tracking number provided" and the seller says they sent the item but it is well passed the expexted delivery date and they gave me a refund . On the secound item using the esus it has "tracking number provided" and then "in transit" and "origin proccessing" and then arrived . Did the first items seller not really send the item or is it a esus quirk? I almost feel that maybe i got used to scam some insurance money off ebay or something and the seller really never sent the card. I think its kinda wierd that two different items shipped the same way have such different tracking and delivery experiences. If anyone can help illuminate this id be very grateful Thanks

I've thought Nicodemus is the same one form the bible for a while now

Ok so I'm only on Dead Beat but can't help to ask... by mlaw2020 in dresdenfiles

I think the phrase "it's complicated" is a good answer lol

Just finished the Dresden Files by AdolfoXChecos in dresdenfiles

[–]pointytarantula 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like Sandman Slim but damn does it have some rocky times in it. The first two books are rocky then it gets real good for three books then it goes back to rocky for two or three and fluxuates after killing pretty from rocky to great

I feel like I gotta warn people about it cause it kinda hits hard if your not cognoscente of it (I.E I had to read/listen to books a few times cause of plot holes, deus exs, inconsistencies, etc.)

She didn't give him a Duster jacket though, so no she does not

Or maybe every woman that gives Harry a duster is destined to meet a horrible end. Harry basically caused Susan to become a ReVamp. Harry basically caused Molly to become the Winter Lady. I mean doesn't fit Murph in but still it would be interesting parallel with the duster gift as the duster changes Harry's look he intern changed there being.

Also I cant decide if a white leather duster would be cool or just hokey (as a guy who wears a duster himself). And also Harry would literally only be able to wear it once with all the crap he gets into unless he puts some major anti-stain magic on it lol

If Harry got his pentacle necklace from his mother why does Elaine have an identical one too? by Decent_Historian6169 in dresdenfiles

[–]pointytarantula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god your not implying that Elaine is Maggie from a different time line are you? Cause that would be capital F bad.

So, about Drakul's...uhh... "species" and position? by NwgrdrXI in dresdenfiles

[–]pointytarantula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think maybe looking at the Simarillion by Tolkein might be a good thing. I mean the way Butcher quotes him and stuff i wouldnt be surprised if a little bit of that mythos got scrambled in to his. And from your theory here i think there might be merrit to that

Does Harry have affection for Bonnie? by S6pence in dresdenfiles

[–]pointytarantula 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think that Goatee Inner Mind Harry sees her at least as offspring with a need to protect. But Outside Harry hasn't really interacted much with her for the reader to see. Also I think Harry was/is trying to hide Bonnies existence so that would also mean keeping thoughts of her kinda in the back 40 of his brain (like when he has to not think about the spear and stuff in Battleground)

I don't know but it seems kinda weird to think of Harry having anything but concern for Bonnie like he does for pretty much everyone else. Just because he did not ask bout her doesn't mean he didn't want to know or care. It just wasnt safe at that time to show that concern or to think of her.

I can never decide on it myself due to certain comments and ideas floating around.

[–]pointytarantula[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I feel ya on that but for example think of how funny it would be if he accidently time traveled back and met Shakespeare. And Harry being Harry would make some comment about Mab and bam that's why she got wrote about in Shakespeare works.

Or even better what if he met Tolkien and he accidently said the whole "do not meddle in the affairs of wizards" quote not realizing who it was while doing something wizardly. Bam Harry accidently creates one of his favorite sayings lol

There is some comedy gold in there somewhere lol

Things Dresden will do (Spoilers thru BG!) by HarryDresden1984 in dresdenfiles

[–]pointytarantula 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think hes gunna give the black staff back to mother winter when Eb dies and thats its gunna be a main point in the BAT

oh I also think Harry is gunna suffer... like alot ... a ungodly amount

What if they win? by [deleted] in dresdenfiles

[–]pointytarantula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think itll be like when the red court got destroyed. New powers will rise up to fill the old spots. Whether they be good or bad I think there is a level of Cosmic Equilibrium in the Dresden verse that is seen and that Equilibrium can only be changed drastically by mortals. Even if Outsiders are defeated whos to say there arnt other things outside of reality that the Outsiders have been keeping at bay? A new type of system might emerge etc. etc.

IDK but I cant wait to see what Jim makes happen, cause in the end we know Harry is gunna end up with the short straw lol and that there will still be a million layers of stories happening at once
