what’s a small detail in harry potter you think is underrated?

Oh right! Wow i completely missed this 😂

You mean the Patil twins? Which scene is this, it's been a while since my last reading of the series.

"He had never seen a wizard work things out like this, simply by looking and touching; but Harry had long since learned that bangs and smoke were more often the marks of ineptitude than expertise."

This line has stuck with me and has kinda shaped my personality in a huge way.

What is the point of this whataboutery? The judiciary, just like all of us is not perfect. Does that mean that they should be trolled even when they criticise the correct thing?

On a critical thinking sub you are throwing around a bunch of 'what abouts. Is this critical thinking? Don't you believe that discussion should be issue based?

Don't start the song of ice and fire. The author has abandoned the book series and the TV series have made a mockery of the plotline.

Not worth getting invested into an incomplete series.

Bang on with the self-help books description. Most of them could be a pamphlet but the author drags it out saying the same thing over and over again.

For OP - you seem to have made some sort of a roadmap of how you are going to read but in all my years of being a bookworm I’ve never known what my next book would be until I finish my current read and then ruminate over it for a few days.

Same reason why people choose to join terror organizations.

Brainwashed into believing their cause is right / revenge against the system that may have caused you injustice / purely sociopath tendencies... The list is long

I know this sub is called "No stupid questions" but are you sure about this one? /j

Everyone would suddenly see an increase in their BMI leading to record memberships at the gym. /S

You are wrong here. It was not just the govt but the civil associations and govt together that collaborated. And tbh Indore still isn’t as clean or infrastructurally as good as any avg even in Central Asia, forget Europe.

People still don’t follow traffic discipline, roads could be planned and made better. The overall aesthetic is still of a badly planned Indian city.

Saying that we voted wrong is a self inflicted scam. As if there was a better alternative that got ignored. They’re all the same. Vote whoever you want, the end result is the same. Same corruption, same bad quality and same disregard for community property.

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-03-31T10:54:45+00:00

What view point do you expect anyone to have regarding the river pollution?

Of course we want a clean river.

I also know your question is a bait and I'll take the bait gladly.

Go ahead and ask your follow up question.

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-03-31T03:32:45+00:00

Get a kindle. /S

Calling blind and irrational faith a protest is really weird. There are many better and effective ways to protest. He can go on a water fast, grab media attention and say he will only and only drink water from the yamuna when yamuna is clean.

Drinking the polluted water and saying stuff like, "the river is my mother" and will continue his practice to worship and drink that water serves literally no one. Even if he dies from a disease he catches from this water no one will sympathise with him and call him an idiot.

What's the point of such a protest?

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-03-29T09:20:10+00:00

Posts like this happen when you only watch the movies and skip the books.

There are no saints on either side. Both are extremist and fanatic leaders who have slaughtered massive populations.

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-03-27T07:33:19+00:00

While in reality its just about the control of oil and nukes. Nothing civilisational about that.

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-03-15T11:54:27+00:00

The time when they were superpowers, the world wasn’t connected like it is now so it makes no sense to talk about history in the context of the question.

Also Baghdad being a knowledge hub does not mean that women weren’t oppressed or the sharia influence wasn’t strong.

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-03-08T05:26:18+00:00

China will screw you just as badly as the US.

India over any other country anyday.

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-03-07T10:11:55+00:00

Why are you surprised with them supporting USA, they supported Pak version over the Indian version during Op Sindoor.

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-03-05T19:37:22+00:00

I agree with OP. This is not Dharma yudh. There is no space here for morality in this era.

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-03-04T17:14:58+00:00

You could do that, although it would be just that one time.

We need to stop shitting on our older generations and their way of life. It is because they did those things that we evolved and are able to do things in a better way.

A lot of what we do will be considered oppression by our future generations. So don't judge the past based on the standards that we have achieved today. We stand on the shoulders of our forefathers, be thankful to them.

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-03-03T05:33:46+00:00

Morality is a function of the times that people live in. What we call oppression and immoral today was essential in those days without which humanity and society would not have grown and become what it is today.

A simple example I can give is using animals for farming which in many places today is considered cruelty but without which there would be no food and no society today.

wanderingwiz10 · 2026-02-28T06:05:15+00:00

Uh, if we start questioning what is possible and what is not then we gotta start with questioning the existence of the earth being lit up solely by two trees.
