I actually never got the impression he was rich from the movies. All Hagrid really says is "You dinne think they'd leave ya with nothing?" And they show a pile of coins.
To a child with almost nothing but some school expenses who lived on handmedowns, he might feel rich but he didn't rush out and replace his broom himself when it broke each time.
His parents also weren't old or particularly famous outside their role in Voldy's death, so I don't know where the richest could have come from outside his Father's family.
Yeah, i like it when they mix it up. Diverse backgrounds make for interesting stories and engage new people with the genre. Its really lame and insulting when it feels like theyre just trotting a character out to meet a quota and don't give them any development beyond they're cultural origin though.
If women want to see more female characters, they should definitely write them and probably not do it with the intention of creating a character "for women" to resonate with, but the larger fandom as a whole. Whenever people declare a target audience, they inevitably alienate others.
I'm kinda baffled by the ruling being about the rape then. If it's legal there it didn't need to even be stated. Instead it should be about the murder of his wife. I wonder what their laws around manslaughter are like. I'm sure the judge would call it an accident (because they're awful) but it's still an action that directly led to her death and that seems like something that should be punished.
It won't help beers but I wouldn't mind the wide scale reintroduction of decanters to the modern age. I have accumulated a few since I've been of drinking age and they all feel fancier than pouring from the bottle.
They don't unless you have a good contract with them and even then it's dependent on zones and package size.
Fun fact: USPS acknowledges that our US territories are domestic while UPS and FedEx treat them as international. So its a little more of a chore and cost to ship to Puerto Rico and the like through anyone but USPS from the 50 states.
We don't, unless it's alot of food. So much food in fact that the equivalent sized package would cost more than $10.50 for USPS to take 3+ days to deliver.
I love USPS but this whole thread makes people look like they've been huffing markers all afternoon.
There's some rights and privileges granted to minors at 15 or 16, about driving and working. Age of consent tends to hover around 17 or 18 aside from a handful of states.
Edit: oh but wow I just read the order and it defines child as anyone under 19. I'm surprised they chose to just add a year of childhood in this instance. That is not typical.
You are usually considered an adult at age 18 and granted a degree of autonomy (and the right to vote). Notable exceptions being controlled substances like alcohol and nicotine that require you to be 21.
Well, if they are flown there, take them no matter the circumstances. What else could I have possibly meant by that?
If they're your citizens and they've been nabbed off the street in a hostile foreign country (USA) don't make them suffer for your principles and let them end up in some camp or holding cell, because that's what these nuts are gonna do. They 100% will be abused if they get rejected back out of Columbia, because that's a clear sign no one cares about their well being.
Huh? What are you talking about? That's not a statement trusting Trump. The headline implies the flights were rejected. They weren't. Drink more coffee dude. It's Trump's propaganda that they were rejected.
I mean... he didn't ban the flights in the first place. He just declared he would not accept his countrymen being treated poorly on return. I think the objection was packing them all in military planes instead of normal commercial flights your average person travels. It had more to do with mistreatment of their citizens in the process of repatriation, which is valid.
Well it does matter, because it's reality. You exist in the real world, not just an online world made up of echo chambers to your liking. People are going to make jokes not to your taste and they aren't monsters because you don't have the same sense of humor.
It's not like I'm saying it's an appropriate thing to say to a child in a classroom, just that it's an established joke and not a default "this person is a racist" kinda comment.
I wish him all the worst.
