@noellabo I have to admit if it werent for the language barrier and perhaps some of the social norms over there I would LOVE to live in Japan.

@noellabo Ohhh thank you so much for that link! Cool to see more about this (even if I cant read japanese)

@stola

Lovely pictures, thanks for sharing.

So apparently the Japanese produced this sewing machine that had a slot for a Gameboy color and connected to it withrough the game slow. This would bring up an interface on the gameboy so that you can control the sewing machine with it.

This has got to be the most Japanese thing on the face of the planet.

@lucifargundam Agreed, would be nice if some people cared enough about their child not to mold them into a bigot as well.

A quick 15 second summary of the Harry Potter series:

A story about a child kidnaped by an old gay guy who secretly has him raised by a physically and mentally abusive family to "toughen him up" so he could convince him to commit suicide when he is older by having another dude who is into necrophilia willfully kill him.

Moreover the old dude was a habitual kidnapper and and we later find out actually kidnapped the necrophilia dude when he was a kid too. In fact he kidnapped him, convinced him he had magical powers, and then after he grew up spent most of his life trying to kill the poor kid he kidnapped before ultimately just giving up and getting the second kid he kidnapped to commit suicide in the off chance it will solve the fucking mess he made.

P.S. Sorry about the repeat, wanted to share this with the funny group.

When children are taught to devalue others they learn to devalue anyone, even their parents. Parents should remember that when they teach their children bigotry; whether it is against gays, women, other religions, or the poor. Because one day you will be old and in need of their charity. The values you teach them as a child will determine if they will treat you with love and support or if they marginalize you as a human being with no worth.

@L29Ah I havent thrown it at any crypto yet but thats a good suggestion let me check.

@L29Ah Havent read it but the back of the book summary looks very interesting.

@mur2501 That was a good one for sure!

@SteveTheDragon ahhh :)

@SteveTheDragon In what sense. I'm not sure how gender plays into this at the moment.

@SteveTheDragon Oh and it also has a hint of one great realization that every book on magic/magick ever has... powerful magic/magick is not powerful, it is only destructive. only subtle gentle magic/magick can be truly powerful. It is a common theme in every fictional book on magic as well as every spiritual/philosophical book on magick

@SteveTheDragon Actually I have the perspective that dumbledore is 100% inept. The only reason we perceive him as wise, capable, and powerful, throughout the books is because he has the elder wand. In reality the man was totally inept on his own :)

@mur2501 im not sure i see them as seperate books, they are a continuum for me. Like i have never read one book more than any other. I either read them all or i dont read them. I think I see a lot (but not all) books that are tight series like that. Like LOTR is 100% a single book IMO.

@SteveTheDragon Pretty much.. or more like a child kidnaped by an old gay gay guy who secretely has him raised by a physically and mentally abusive family to "toughen him up" to he could convince him to commit suicide by having another dude who is into necrophilia willfully kill murder him.

Moreover the old dude was a habitual kidnapper and and we later find out actually kidnapped the necrophilia dude when he was a kid too. In fact he kidnapped him, convinced him he had magical powers, and then after he grew up spent most of his life trying to kill the first kid he kidnapped before ultimately just giving up and getting the second kid he kidnapped to commit suicide in the off chance it will solve the fucking mess he made.

@mur2501 Dude makes me tear up every time!

Thing about her writing is, its simplistic, its not at all particularly poetic, doesnt use any deep or meaning words or nuance. At first glance you might almost think she was an unimpressive writer. But her character development is so real, and deep, and touching that I feel clerver words and a larger vocabulary would have almost distracted from that. Plus she was writing it for kids so to some extent that may be intentional.
