When I was looking at a questionnaire about ADHD I showed out to my wife saying something like “man, they’re really gearing these questions to diagnose everyone with ADHD, aren’t they?” She read through the list and then, with the saddest expression I’ve ever seen on her face, looked at me and asked “you mean you’ve been struggling with all of this?”

Getting diagnosed was a formality after that.

I wonder about this though because cars are “fragile” due to being designed to protect the humans inside. I would think that the sentient cars would have evolved differently to be more protective of themselves.

Nah, that’s what CATS named all of us

For real. The concept of becoming a master over a wand is world breaking in retrospect. Ron talks about using a hand-me-down wand in the first book, which basically means he was hampered from the beginning by not having a wand that recognized him as its master. And all the wand disarming Harry did means he should have approximately 37 wands that prefer him over their owners.

This is honestly the biggest reason. I’ve gotten in so many debates and arguments online and it only ends with me having wasted my time and being less happy. This is even the case when the person has seemed reasonable at first but it always devolves from there.

One of the greatest problems, IMO, is that there’s little incentive for people to leave good reviews of their company. I’m relatively happy at my job, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to go info a website to say why I like working for them. Sure, some people will, but you go onto these types of websites either cuz you wanna complain or because HR is going around with donuts offering one to everyone who leaves a review.

I once had a roommate from Chile and he asked what the difference in pronunciation was for “juice” versus “Jews”. I’m still not sure I properly got the difference across…

Also the difference between “to rob” and “to steal” was an interesting thing to think through and then explain.

100% agree. You mean I’m gonna have to listen to Brother Lampard ramble on about his experience living in Guatemala for the rest of eternity? I’ll be searching out the fire and brimstone out before the end of the first week.

Swears are a sledge hammer. Many tasks don’t require a sledgehammer. But sometimes you need a sledgehammer.

And, depending on where in the world they go, they may have to walk a lot to talk to people about the walk.
