And now I want fic.

[morieris]

I think you get multiple blade types with the Magic Bullet if my endless watching of those infomercials is correct. Only downside might be if you plan to serve some drinks, how many of the tall mugs you might get. It'd certainly seems like it would be far harder to lose those pieces.

I bring it to a cleaner about once a year.

*squints at*

Are you OP of the secret where you don't like dystopia genre because it's "better" to be optimistic or some such?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes I've read about the J2 and a lot of the stuff that was super creepy or at best gave me second hand embarrassment, but I've never really experienced any of it first hand.

Re: Question about a thread from yesterday...

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure it's not queer as in "gay" but the original meaning of queer like "strange/unusual" as in it's strange/unusual to do these traditionally romantic things with someone who's a friend and not a romantic partner. Or something like that. I don't think it has anything to do with gender.

[(Anonymous)]

Draco was a child. Snape was an adult who bullied children. That is a thousand times worse to me. And I think that minimizing that dismisses the fact that there are teachers like Snape in real life who bully their students. Snape was an authority figure. His job was to protect his students and teach them. Instead he bullied most of them, in particular Harry, Neville, and Hermione.

Re: Question about a thread from yesterday...

[dratinis]

Probably??? Idk, all I know is that after I was told that asexual straight people are considered part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum, I put my hands up in the air and decided anything's possible.

Re: Question about a thread from yesterday...

OP

Oh, maybe I was wrong about what queerplatonic meant, then. If it's what you're describing, then it does sound like friendship.

I mean something that's in between friendship and romance that's not quite either one and doesn't necessarily apply only to asexual people. I probably wasn't clear enough in the original post.

Re: Question about a thread from yesterday...

[dratinis]

This times a million.

Re: Question about a thread from yesterday...

person from below

Nah, I think it would still be "queerplatonic" because it's not the non-straight meaning of queer, but the original "weird/strange" meaning.

Not to say I don't think the word is stupid, though. I've seen some people use "quasiplatonic" instead which I think probably fits the concept they're trying to go for better.

Kill yourself.

Re: What do you consider cyberstalking?

[elaminator]

Repeatedly trying to contact the person when they've showed no signs of responding or clarified they have no interest in doing so. (Not just, "Hey, I'm going to tell my favorite actor they were really good in tonight's episode!" I'm talking about people who message again and again and again begging for a response, not willing to give up because it's that important to them.)

Attempting to break into their personal accounts, that's stalkery. (And horrible.) Needing to always know where the person is (like, "Oh, they took a pic in front of a hotel LET ME FIND THAT HOTEL AND TRACK THEM DOWN!" is stalkery too.

The personal details thing can go either way. If you put it out in public, it's a given that some people are going to remember it, whether they really 'want' to or not.

Good news Thread

[philstar22]

Anyone have any good news they want to share?

My sister is officially engaged and getting married the first week of April. I'm going to be a bridesmaid. Her boyrfriend is adorable and they are perfect together and I'm super happy for them.

Re: Question about a thread from yesterday...

[sarillia]

Why is it turned into an aro/ace issue then and treated like it should be under the LGBTQ+ umbrella?

Plus if that's true I find it weird that they'd be using that older definition of queer to describe things that were perfectly normal for friendships in a lot of times and places where that definition was common. Not really an argument, just something that my mind is stuck on right now. It seems really odd.

I should really get some sleep.

Re: Best Relationship Chemistry

[philstar22]

Melkor/Sauron is the first pairing for me where I like every version of them. Something about these two has chemistry for me no matter the form they take.

Steve/Bucky have such a strong chemistry. The base of their friendship is great and all their scenes smolder for me.

Re: Question about a thread from yesterday...

[dratinis]

Aahh that makes sense, but it also makes me wonder why they wouldn't use another synonym for strange. God knows there's plenty of them out there.

I have to say that I like "quasiplatonic" more myself. It definitely does a better job of fitting the concept.

Re: Good news Thread

[sarillia]

I got A's on the last test in both organic chemistry and cell and molecular biology even though most of both classes did terrible.

I really wish I could just stick to lecture. I'm so good at it. I will not complain about lab in a happy thread...

[(Anonymous)]

Again I say +10000000

And yeah, this is how I read what the AYRT was saying as well. They definitely didn't seem content to leave it at "He was horrible, but he was also complex and human." That I would agree with. It's this idea that what he did wasn't that bad - that people are over stating it - which I take issue with.

He TERRORIZED Neville. I mean, it's been a while since I've read the books, but I definitely recall there being passages where Neville was described as being pretty much too scared of Snape to even function in class.

When an adult - any adult, but especially an adult in a distinct position of authority - treats a child that way, that's when I write them off as a terrible human being. That doesn't mean they can't also do things that help people. But in my books, doing good does not erase the bad you've done. And Snape was relentlessly bullying towards some very innocent, vulnerable characters.

[caerbannog]

I had a friend who would keep buying things like 3ds when it first came out, be upset that she had no money because of this, get upset at me not also buying one then get upset at me for "having more money" when all I'd done was not buy expensive consoles and games!

Re: Question about a thread from yesterday...

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that. Or even...why do they have to be 'radical' in the first place? Other than the people in the relationship, who even cares if a couple is having sex? (Or how often, or what kinds of things they like to do in bed, etc...in general I don't get why anyone gives a damn about anyone else's sex life if they're not involved.)

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds a lot like a fandom I'm in, even if I currently haven't played it in a while. No problem with seeming age differences, or actual ones, if it's M/F or F/F, but get two dudes and now it's sick!

[(Anonymous)]

This secret really amuses me, especially the bit about the witches (I saw The Craft well before I got around to seeing Heathers).

[(Anonymous)]

Re: About witches
You're probably thinking of The Craft. Both are cult classics about girl cliques, but of course one is about witches, the other is about murder.

Re: Question about a thread from yesterday...

[(Anonymous)]

But wouldn't the non-romantic kind of partnership just cover business partners, bascially? That's literally the only context I've ever heard anyone use partner in outside of a romantic or sexual partner.

Not that it's impossible, but I just can't see anyone referring to a close friend as their partner unless they wanted everyone to assume they were in a romantic relationship with that person.
