So strange to consider what impact this could/might/has already had on the films. The books as they were written are complete. The movies will be surreal to see, and it will be unsettling to know there may have been something more from his presence that we'll never witness as part of the art of the…

Absolutely. My older sister was a drug addict and an alcoholic, and her addictions killed her when she was 27. It was heartwrenching and horrible and I don't think anyone in my family will ever really get over that. And the people who more or less implied that her death was less tragic because it was…

Ginny is a female Ron substitute. Harry + Ginny is really Harry + Female!Ron.

Yes! Team Luna here.

This. This. THIS.

No. They're fine. What she should regret is pairing up Harry and Ginny. She was the worst. All the charm of an empty bucket.

I was going through my 9 yr old son's backpack last week and came across the rough draft of a paragraph he was writing. The prompt was the usual "if you could have dinner with a famous person, who would it be and why"... he wrote this:
Well, I would choose Harriet Tubman because I would want to know why she risked her…

Why don't they just build Ikea style ball pits where you drop your kid off at the beginning of the meal.

Brilliant. Might I add:

No, people would just be freaking poor. Look at countries with no safety net. Lack of assistance doesn't make people get up and get jobs that don't exist, it just means people living in the streets, starving.

Birth control saves money in the long run because it means there are fewer people who need things like medical care, food, education, etc. Free and accessible birth control used by people in poverty means there are fewer children born into poverty that need to take advantage of the social safety net. Bottom line -…

“Maybe we have to say 'enough's enough, you shouldn't be having kids after a certain amount,'" Paul told the business group at one point.

Even the poster is badly disguised fan fiction.

Oh man I've been burned so badly by this, from both sides of the story, including three nights out with a guy who was a "close friend" that I had a wicked crush on, and who seemed to really enjoy blurring that line. Turns out those weren't dates, oh well. On the flip side, I spent a fun evening out with a guy I'd…

I don't see the ZOMG panikkkk hookup cultuur!! here. The truth of the matter is that men and women are free to be friends, just friends, start-as-friends-stay-as-friends-no-matter-how-drunk-we-get in a way that has never really been the case before (generationally speaking). Both men and women are interested in…

We rarely date in New Zealand (this is changing a bit with internet dating). I think I'm fairly typical in that I can only think of a couple of romantic encounters I've had that I would call dates, but I have had several boyfriends.

imagine that news report. between this or being trampled by cows, i think that most of the deaths i've had in the sims would be ones that would definitely make the vicar chuckle

Pre-patch Sims sounds more fun than post-patch Sims.
