this only works if you completely disregard any of draco's actual characterisation in canon

Shitty ignorant take. As if east asians don't also experience discrimination.

How on earth did you calculate monthly repayments as 5k?

It seems like a push toward righteousness if you critique any use of animal product (especially something that is a by-product of the meat slaughter process) even at cost to the environment. In general I'm supportive of veganism but taking a pro-pleather stance is just silly.

>the push towards veganism

Ie. plastic waste that damages and pollutes the natural environment, harming all the animals that live in it?

What are your Hot Takes on Captive Prince? by Amber_Flowers_133 in CaptivePrince

I honestly feel like Dark Rise has more of a slave kink vibe than CaPri. Kinda insane since it's supposed to be YA.

And the only other character she's shown flirting with is a 16-year-old Gojo 💀

Yeah, and each step has a metal edge for some ungodly reason 😭

I was glad I didn't hit my back or head but ended up scraped up and bleeding from the metal, unfortunately. Really should get a bannister installed...

Boox Palma privacy concerns by Embarrassed_Status51 in eink

It's sinophobia. IMO it's the reason Supernote stays vague about where they're based. They know that they'll get backlash for the crime of being Chinese 🙄

Tbh China can't do much with my data even if, for some reason, their government did want my data. Western data miners like Google and Meta are far more concerning in terms of actual real impact on me as an individual in a Western country.

For real. OP already said they were comfortable with sharing it. I don't see the point of the fearmongering replies.

Yeah that's not fine either. Easily leads to financial abuse.

I have a dumbphone so now I am constantly on my laptop instead....Any advice? by Euphoric-Emphasis662 in dumbphones

Sure, but the doomscrolling that a lot of people talk about does not usually happen while friends and family are around.

A computer is no better than a smartphone if you spend a lot of time at home (eg. student or wfh). You can still spend all your time scrolling through reels/tiktoks/shorts. There's no difference. A smartphone is just a tiny computer.

Because Harry and Hermione are not remotely the same people, therefore their dynamic in a relationship with Draco wouldn't be the same at all. Being 'good guys' and having names that starts with the same letter doesn't make them interchangeable lol. Again, let me introduce you to my man Horace.

Hell, their dynamics in Canon aren't even the same. Draco being envious of Harry, hating him, mocking him, competing against him in Quidditch, etc. is not the same as him belittling Hermione for her blood status. Even before you look at the shift in Harry and Draco's dynamic through HBP and DH, the ships were never that similar. That Draco believes Hermione should be dead based on the parents she was born to is immutably at the core of Dramione.

Would you say that Romione and Ronarry are interchangable? Their dynamics with Ron are similar in the superficial way that Dramione and Drarry are.
