ObjectivityIncarnate

The fact is, most Harry Potter fans neither know nor care about any of the personal exploits of the author.

If she kept that a secret or anything then sure… But it’s not exactly a hidden fact that money gained from Harry Potter is being put towards hate.

The spaces you hang out in obviously make a big deal of these and broadcast them consistently, I’m sure. But it’s clear you spend enough time in them that you’ve lost perspective in how things are in the ‘world at large’.

Although it’s very obvious and “not hidden”, to you, it wouldn’t even have to be hidden from the average Harry Potter fan, because they make literally zero effort to seek it out. They simply don’t care about anything she does, outside of writing the books they like to read.

P.S. The way you worded it in a previous comment implies heavily that a lack of explicit criticism of Rowling is equivalent to “support”. It isn’t.

On paper, yes, in practice, no.

In the US, at the time that marginal tax rates got that high, the amount of things you could deduct was also MUCH higher. Truth is, nobody ever actually paid 90% back then.

What you are describing is essentially the roguelike/lite genre, lol. Search up some of that, see if anything looks fun.

I think it’s a pretty clever idea for a bot here, if that’s any encouragement. :)

0% chance you would have any problem with the “body language” if you had seen this image with no context, lol. There is literally nothing odd about the body language, at all.

People don’t even realize how deeply bias affects their interpretation.

He was in his 40s, not 70s, lmao, wtf are you talking about? Zero chance that was the reason she married him.

imo, actual patriotism would be more like “I want to make my house as good as I can.”

You don’t have to think your country is the best to be patriotic with respect to that country.

Additional charges against who, exactly? The shooter is dead.

I’m not sure what point there is to even spending any time ascertaining motive. It’s not like you’re going to use it against him on his court date, he’s dead.

The “the family is not pressing charges” line also seems like it kinda goes without saying…
