saying corona is no big deal is some ableist privilege for sure. got a coworker with chronic respiratory issues and it’s absolutely no joke for her. i do wonder if advice and action is too much focused on the general population and not enough on vulnerable people but idk

It's the same dipshit idea people have about the flu. "I don't get sick, I'm not worried about it." Great, you can still carry it and transmit it to people it kills.

A lot of people around here are really upset freaking out about what to do now that they'll have to watch their kids. They're talking about having to take fmla leave. That tells you everything you need to know about this country - that for people with good jobs with sick and A-leave still need to worry about choosing between caring for their kids or working to make sure they can pay for their bills.

God help those worse off.

"And the DICK?"

I am not personally worried thanks to my powerful and handsome immune system but I care about other people so I am forced to do a small amount of extra preventative work, and that’s bullshit.

My only problem with Harry Potter is structural. I feel like Ron needed to be a more useful character and also they needed to have the friends be from each of the houses. The books did a real good job of setting up all these issues with the setting that the characters could have tackled like the danger at the school, the slavery, etc but in the end Harry was just setting things back to the status que. Voldermort should have been all about that life while Harry and crew should have been about creating a better world.

The SPEW subplot is entirely about how the slaves like being slaves as long as they're treated well and Hermione is a bleeding heart idiot for trying to help them. The books are really bad if you put any political lens on them.

everyone told me i couldn't say Harry Potter sucked until i read the books, so i read the first one. it sucks. it's a Scooby Doo plot. oh, you thought the bad guy was the guy who's been acting bad the whole novel? it was actually this nobody guy introduced at the beginning who you have since forgotten about, i tricked you, i'm jk rowling.

One of the more clever things the series does is age up with the characters. The first book is unabashedly a children's book, and by the middle, it's YA fiction, then at the end it's just high fantasy.

But JK Rowling is a piece of poo poo racist transphobic douchecanoe, so gently caress those books forever.

Yeah, I think having the books age up with the readers and characters really helped make them the cultural force they are. But you should also eventually age out of them and realize they're not a guide to life.

Much like Hamilton I like the piece of art but I hate what the art has come to represent. Rowling herself also has some really poo poo opinions.

The best thing JK Rowling ever did was proclaim all wizards poo poo and pissed on the floor or in their robes or pants or whatever and then cast magic poopus-disappearus spells and just the mental image of how that would actually work in society is just loving hilarious to me

Living in South Korea, the roads are just as dirty now in the nice neighborhoods as they were 6 months ago which is funny to me even though that's not what you're really talking about nor meant to evoke in my brain.

Can people shut up with stupid posts like this? It literally does nothing and "loling but not" about whether something will be an apocalypse or how hopeless everything is is really messed up. This poo poo is why hysteria takes hold.

Agreed, here at work at the liquor store I'm constantly hearing poo poo from almost every customer joking about stocking up for the covid-19. It's loving annoying and obnoxious.

poo poo is hosed up and people are scared; lots of different emotions are happening and all are valid.

I think maybe taking stuff out on people in a negative way isn’t that great but outbursts are understandable and even somewhat healthy. I think all of you are great.

I think we’d all like everyone to be happy and in high spirits. Here’s a photo of a good boy who cannot get any kind of virus:

I’m watching Perfect Blue. Know nothing about it apart from it being a classic and also terrifying

The main character is learning how to use the internet and the first thing she finds is someone’s extremely creepy fanpage of her. That’s the internet for ya, even in 1997 lol

Perfect Blue is a wonderful mind gently caress movie from Satoshi Kon. All of his work is a wonderful mind gently caress. Highly recommend Paranoia Agent.
