This is a point that's faded in popularity, honestly, but nonetheless. It's entirely based on information Voldemort didn't have. Now, one can argue that sacrificial protection shouldn't be some unknown phenomenon, but the fact is, it isn't widely known, and Voldemort didn't know about it. So there's really no reason for him not to use the extremely effective insta-kill spell, except... metagaming?

I'm hoping to play modpacks with just one other person, both light and heavy packs. Obviously, I don't want to overpay, but money isn't a huge issue either. Ease of use is what matters. What host would you guys recommend?

There's been a lot of talk here about the price of going to the theatre, and whether it's actually been going up compared to inflation. But frankly, all the anecdotes or economic data don't really matter. Either way, the value of moviegoing has been going down.

Let's completely ignore the rise of social media, gaming, or other entertainment options. Let's even ignore how much cheaper streaming is compared to movie tickets or DVDs - not because it doesn't contribute, but because it isn't necessary.

The home viewing experience is better than it's ever been. That's not really debatable, and it's not claiming that it's caught up to going to the theatre, but it's undeniable that theatres haven

We know that even at the start of Worm, things are breaking down globally. The US is better off than most, but cracks are showing even there. Cauldron believes the future is parahuman feudalism, and I'm inclined to agree.

I'm thinking of writing a fic set in the future, where instead of warlordism (in the US) setting a dangerous precedent like it did with the Undersiders, it's already well-trodden ground. The PRT is struggling in most cities, and the government is in retreat. I'm not really sure how long this process would take though, or how it might look like.

I've been thinking about writing a Sinnoh fic, but it's been well over a decade since I've played Gen 4. Really don't have the time to be playing a 40 hour game.

Surely not everyone who writes journeyfics is replaying the game at the same time. What sort of resources are people using? Bulbapedia is great, but doesn't seem to work super well here.

A friend found someone on Fetlife who was using one of my Instagram posts. It was a completely innocent photo, and they didn’t seem to impersonating me, just pretending to be a nebulous someone using my face. I got it taken down, and I'm content to leave it there, but I'm curious - I don’t know if they were trying to scam people, but assuming they weren’t, did they break any laws? What about civil stuff?

I'm in Ontario, Canada.
