Why doesn’t the EU fund something like this?
Seems to be pretty important infrastructure for staying independent.
What do you expect? We raised a whole generation to be allergic to anything slightly offensive. How dare you make a controversial statement!
She’s not a comedian, she was an actor. Big difference between writing comedy and reading a script.
Snape went on, “The whole wizarding world is messed up. We have magic, we have wands that can do anything, and people in my world still have slaves.” He rejected Jost’s assertion that they’re actually called “house elves.” “Yes, some folk got house elves. I bet you didn’t know they got field elves too. They didn’t put that in the book, huh, Colin?”
Yes. I like that aspect of the story a lot, and it’s one of the things that doesn’t come across as “jumping the shark” which rowling is often criticised for.
yeah I saw something about slitherin being this evil by nature kind of comment and I was like. That. That is not what the story was saying at all. It was kinda a sterotype more and effects of the actual big bads infiltrating and using it. I mean they all came from it but its a bit like th nazis vs the german people. I mean draco is a hero by the end as well and it shows how despite being sorta indocrinated he recognized how stuff he has been taught at home was bulltrump.
Have you been rocking an old classic? Discovering something new? Revisiting some nostalgic bands from the past?

Listening to new stuff, tryna stave off my old curmudgeonly instincts. Been enjoying the new Jill Scott record, and the new Fcuckers album
Wishing I had listened to Metric way more when I was younger. Catching up now.
@casualconversation this is regarding using WhatsApp wisely. It doesn't matter whether you're for WhatsApp or against. But as a user myself, l need to know how to prevent whatsapp messages from eating up a significant amount of storage space in my limited phone memory.
Any insightful suggestion please ??🙏🙏🙏
My dad was complaining about the storage space being full on his phone so I checked it. Turns out Whatsapp saves every single photo and video to your device. There should be a setting that makes it so that it downloads only if you choose so. Enable that setting and then delete all the pics and videos downloaded via Whatsapp.
Truly a garbage app. Annoying as hell, when it comes to storage.
Indeed, there is an option in the settings that will not download any media unless you authorize it. It also creates its own media gallery, which you can periodically delete photos from. In this regard it’s not much different from other messaging apps, but yeah absolutely tick that permission off. If you use it for work in group chats you are probably getting flooded with work related photos that aren’t even addressed to you, as it happened to me.
Another one you may find useful is removing the automatic backups to cloud. They pretty much brick your phone at 2am or whenever the hell it chooses to do it.
Open discussion for all of Paradise season 2, including the finale.
Spoilers!!!
And yes, Paradise is renewed for season 3, will probably come out mid/late 2027, will probably be the final season.
I really like well rounded shows that actually finish strong. So 3 seasons would be great.
The elevator scene was annoying for the time waste. Seriously, stop hugging her. Move! But it (or something similar) was necessary so that Dylan, his mom, and X would connect. So I get it.
I knew they would try to bring Jane back into things. The gun was in the ground. I told my partner that if Gabriela doesn’t pick it up now and make sure she is dead, then Jane will be back. Ugh.
I’m sure Alex has a reason for Jane, but I really dislike her character.
You know, I’ve noticed some pretty heavy genre shifts. I’m not against them, but they can sometimes be quite jarring. Westworld was pretty jarring. Some less so, like Dark (which I didn’t mind at all) or maybe Lost. I don’t think it’s inherently bad, I think it can be disappointing sometimes when you expect it to be one way and then it shifts hard.
Honestly, when Alex was revealed, I was disappointed. I really live scifi, but some tropes are tiring and overused. I’m really really really hoping this my butt is actually benevolent because I’m exhausted by the malevolent super computers…
I recall watching Hello Tomorrow which was a quirky atompunk themed comedy from Apple. It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t especially funny - but it had a charismatic affable liar as a lead that you found sympathetic despite his sleaze, and gave huge pre-war Fallout vibes. Apple silently cancelled it some time ago.
I would also argue Peacock’s attempt at Brave New World. Reimagined for the modern era (because really it had to be) and probably took more from Westworld than it did Brave New World, but it was doomed by being a Peacock original.
They really squandered the source material. So much more depth in the books. And less farce.
It did at least get a whole 8 episode season.
The flashbacks have flashbacks, and every few minutes there’s a flashback.
Yes, I can follow the plot. But this doesn’t mean I enjoy the constant flashbacks.
I stopped watching during the second episode of the second season.

I should have stopped watching it after the first few boring episodes of season 1.
I get it. So what is/was next on the watchlist for you? Liking something else currently?
