Excepting Lactose Intolerance, I have IBS and wouldn't be able to live without dairy products because of all the protein, fat, and nutrients I get from them they are one of the few food groups that don't make me bloat up like a dead horse.

That's not how fiction works, if she doesn't give Sirius an eye color, he doesn't have an eye color because he's not a real person and 5 different people could picture him with 5 different eye colors. Dumbledore was not clearly gay if you read the book and she had the option to make him clearly gay in the later books…

What do you conceive of as "invalid target" here, and why? It's fine and dandy that Rowling is, apparently, down with queers being around at Hogwarts. But you would never really know this based on her books themselves, and that's the point.

Fucking Moaning…

I wish she had written in any LGBT characters in. She didn't. Canon is only what is written in the actual work, not what the author writes in interviews/ Q&As. If she really wanted those characters in there, she could (should totally!) write a book eight or prequel actually showing these characters instead of going in…

As a giant queer, I never found Dumbledore's orientation clear. The announcement of it was a farce. I guess if I had just squinted a little harder whilst reading ...

She is just making shit up. It's after the fact and it isn't in the books, so why read into the series more than is actually there? Because someone tweeted something?

But books are ultimately written by an author. The inclusion or exclusion of queer characters is a conscious choice.

Implied is not the same as expressed.

Dumbledore's sexuality was also a post-publication retcon.

I know you're not trying to suggest it. You just happen to be.

Um... what? Are you trying to suggest that since Tolkien is dead, he has to let the work speak for itself? Whereas Rowling is alive and able to spin whatever fable she wants to?

Let's remember that the NFLPA agreed to this in the last CBA. It was an issue before then, but they decided to take a stand on other monetary issues instead. They had a chance to help create a better process but they punted on it out of greed. They're at the very least complicit in this situation.

If there's only so much candy one can eat...you're doing it wrong.

Corporeal punishment? Are they going to take my soul, or make my live in this body for eternity? Tell me more about corporeal punishment.

Stevie is going to be so pissed when he sees this!

The crux of my post was that I felt like you just blame bad things on football without establishing that football is the cause or ruling out the chance that the problems would exist otherwise. And yes, some system-is-fucked filtered in, but that's kind of the point: the system is more than just football, and you've…

actively hurtful to some people but not all. The problem is people like you think that everything has to not offend anyone. That is his point. We don't need to be afraid to offend every person or interest group. Life isn't fair, you will get offended sometimes. Sometimes it's great to hear different opinions than…

It all depends on the amperage of the USB outlet your using. Lowes/Home Depot sell multiple of these outlets with a few different amps. I suggest finding one that closely matches your factory transformer.
