Tales from the Loop

Sorrynotsorry, I’ve just got into watching it and it fit so… haha.

What a convenient time to share this…

He was already on leave following an incident in December, 2023 when he was arrested after crashing his car while possessing 20 unprescribed Xanax pills.

Sounds like he was outright delusional, and it very much feels like these two events are joined at the hip.

Happiness has to be fought for.

Oh I figured it would be good. I loved HP growing up, well before we knew any of JK’s purviews and hatreds. It also does help that majority of the actors involved in the cinematic universe were outspoken against her. It’s rather difficult to separate art from the artist at times, but I think I’ll probably sail the seas first to test it out, and then determine how best to purchase it without giving her any more cashflow, however meager that is in the grand scheme.

Found a reasonable article of who distanced / defended Joanne’s hatred: https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/every-harry-potter-actor-supports-jk-rowling/

Thank you for the extra layer of clarity. I’m consistently trying to make sure my words aren’t being misconstrued, and I’m hoping that’s how the other commenter feels, although I’m not going to put words in their mouth. I’ve faltered many a time in the past, hell even this morning in a discussion with a personal friend. I’m here to hopefully make the world a better place to live in, even if by the smallest choices in words and actions.

You’re on the right path with that. Sometimes people with these mindsets just need to be spoken to, and that may (on may not) open their eyes to the ways they may have been inadvertently steeped in, whether that be from upbringing in a hatred filled household / community / etc., or a search for acceptance in those circles. I have someone at my workplace who is an outspoken anti-LGBTQ+, even going as far as plastering their laptop with heavily right wing anecdotes, and wearing very questionable shirts with horrible messages. But I’m here to eventually try and reason with them, and you’re absolutely right it’ll be an uphill battle, but one worth trying.

I get your perspective, and I think we are both trying to at least meet in the middle with how we are trying to explain our takes. By all means, I truly do think that minority groups should have more support and have the right to be heard and seen than the “societal norm”. I guess I was just trying to see both sides and trying to determine a midpoint. The “All Lives Matter” movement easily falls in line with many other conservative spiels, and I’m trying to see the best in people in that what they mean isn’t trying to side with the heavier right wing movements. Again, I’m not trying to belittle or minimize the trans rights movement or anything in which minority groups aren’t being heard. I guess I just wish we lived in a society where everyone was treated as equal, and any hate groups were quieted to the best of our ability, slowly erasing those archaic viewpoints.

Agreed with Deestan. It’s about treating all humans, be them straight, lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer/questioning, asexual, pan, and all elements of the rainbow that aren’t covered by the above as equals. We are all part of the human race, Homo sapiens sapiens.

It was definitely tough dropping him over something seemingly so miniscule, but it hit a nerve. Being part of the queer community myself, and having many close friends also being such, it just felt right. The salt in the wound was that there was no response at all except for the ones supporting him in this sponsoring.

A quick google for “Babish Hogwarts Legacy” garnered this Reddit post (sorry).

It’s may be more subtle and perhaps the quality is still there (IDK bc I unsubbed ages ago), but Babish. There was an uproar when he got sponsored by Hogwarts Legacy, and he had no response / apology to supporting JK and her anti-trans viewpoints.

I did the most half-assed version of this for lunch the other day. Leftover half box of Kraft Mac, a can of tuna that was in the fridge, and a little tangy BBQ sauce, I think McD’s brand. It was… passable. I think my stomach was okay with it. I’m still alive and not on the toilet.

I’ve dabbled in listening to EDM more frequently, and when I heard Chasing Heaven by him, I ran up to my roommates who proceeded to open that can of worms… never heard of the guy before that, and won’t listen to him again. Sick fuck on so many levels. The CP is a new one from what I knew then.

I just recently picked up an Arizer XQ2 and it’s amazing, but tried for day to day use. A friend of mine gifted me a KarmaVap (Dynavap M 2020), and it’s been my daily driver next to a revisit of my older and solid Xmax Starry v3. Whichever way I go I get done nice returns as ABV, so my next edible may be gummies.

Ever so often I use a water pipe but it’s iffy as I’m not a fan of “wasting” bud.

We have four cats. The first two were a bonded pair and we named them after two characters on a show we were watching when they were adopted, Sense8. Wolfgang & Riley. Scarily enough their personalities kinda fit, minus the DJing and rocket launcher.

3rd cat we rescued from the street, and she’s Sweets Petites from tha Streets.

4th cat was named by the lady adopting a litter out, after the Rugrats. So we’ve got Phil.
