Orphie Baby@lemmy.worldOPto [Closed] Moved to !harrypotter@literature.cafe@lemmy.world•Downvote me all you want, but I have to complain. Most bad things in the series would never happen— especially to Harry— if people just talked, explained, or defended themselves like human beings.English0·2 years ago- You don’t have any imagination
- Why the hell are you attributing your claim to heroes specifically? What does that have to do with anything?
- Man have you not seen a lot of fiction. People react realistically in a ton of them all the time, including kids shows like Avatar: TLA and Steven Universe
- My novel has people reacting realistically the entire way through, and it’s a science fantasy
- Luke Skywalker acted realistically. He wanted to leave and join the fucking resistance like his friends. Just like a lot of real-life people would, especially the oppressed. Hell, how many people did 9/11 cause to join the military? Hell, how many people join the military without having suffered tragedy?

Hermoine to Potter: “What’s wrong with your hand?” Potter: “Nothing.” (This was the Dolores torture). Hermoine actually finds out, which is refreshing. “You’ve got to tell Dumbledore.” Harry: “No. Dumbledore’s got enough on his mind right now.” Freaking stupid, Harry.
This “is anything happening?” “No, nothing.” exchange with Potter is constant in this series.

Orphie Baby@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Unity temporarily closes offices amid death threats following contentious pricing changesEnglish6·2 years agoI hope so, but frankly we’ll just have to see. The people with the money and power usually win.
Orphie Baby@lemmy.worldto Enough Musk Spam@lemmy.world•#ElonMuskIsATraitor is Trending on the Platform He Paid $44 Billion to BuyEnglish9·2 years agoJust one. So far. It’s pretty funny.
Fun statement and all, but he clearly understood what humans wanted and needed. He just didn’t factor in that imperfect humans wouldn’t accept a society and life that were somehow perfect in spite of said humans. They en masse knew something felt off.
Thanks, bot!
I think you a word there.

[Seattle Police] Officer Jokes with Police Union Leader About Killing of Pedestrian by Fellow CopEnglish1·2 years agoYou keep saying SPD and I keep wondering how Space Patrol Delta sunk so low. It’s no wonder the top of the force turned evil and the B-team Power Rangers became the heroes we needed to stop them.
There’s nothing socialist about China.
What?
Orphie Baby@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?English1·2 years agoPeople talked about it a ton when it was new.
Nobody ever explained anything more than the likes of “Voldemort’s back! You have to believe me!” If anyone actually gave account or explained anything at all, the good guys would have a lot more allies than they do. Hell, actually talking is how they convinced a bunch of people to let Harry teach them dark arts defense in Order of the Phoenix. It seems that actually talking is how every good event happens, and that not talking is how every bad event happens.
