12·7 months agoBoJack, stop. You are all the things that are wrong with you! It’s not the alcohol, or the drugs, or any of the shitty things that happened in your career, or when you were a kid! It’s you! Alright? It’s you. Fuck, man. What else is there to say?
I’ve added BÉPO and AZERTY (some letters I had to keep below). I think that BÉPO actually has an interesting pattern:

41·9 months agoRon being rude was the reason Hermione was in the bathroom when the troll attacked the school. 🙄
“Oh, well done!” cried Professor Flitwick, clapping. “Everyone see here, Miss Granger’s done it!”
Ron was in a very bad mood by the end of the class.
“It’s no wonder no one can stand her,” he said to Harry as they pushed their way into the crowded corridor, “she’s a nightmare, honestly.”
Someone knocked into Harry as they hurried past him. It was Hermione. Harry caught a glimpse of her face – and was startled to see that she was in tears."I think she heard you. "
“So?” said Ron, but he looked a bit uncomfortable. "She must’ve noticed she’s got no friends. "
Hermione didn’t turn up for the next class and wasn’t seen all afternoon. On their way down to the Great Hall for the Halloween feast, Harry and Ron overheard Parvati Patil telling her friend Lavender that Hermione was crying in the girls’ bathroom and wanted to be left alone. Ron looked still more awkward at this, but a moment later they had entered the Great Hall, where the Halloween decorations put Hermione out of their minds.
I would encourage you to have goodwill and assume that when he spoke about Hermione being from the US, he wasn’t referring to her actual origin, but rather emphasising that she had a normal background similar to his students in the US. This is how I interpreted it.
Yes! I originally found it posted on their TikTok account:

Most people don’t have an issue with it. But starting each interview with a question: “Do you condemn Al-Qaeda?” is sinister. It is not a good faith question.
If you are asked this question each time you want to speak about atrocities committed against civilians and have to proclaim that you do not in fact support terrorists, you have the right to be offended. Especially when the person asking you that question cannot condemn cutting off water to civilians.
After 9/11, thousands of Arabs living peacefully in the US were asked to condemn Al-Qaeda, which they did because who wouldn’t? That condemnation and support was used to justify attacking Iraq - the country where Al-Qaeda was not located in, and resulted in the death of a million people there. Imagine being an American Iraqi supporting the US’s right to “defend itself” and seeing your family in Iraq and their children being killed.
There is a level of analogy here where a person with relatives in Gaza is asked by interviewers that question while trying to advocate to not cut water or bomb one of the most densely populated places in the region.
You have the right to be offended if people start asking you to condemn segregation, Nazism, or bigotry when you never claimed that you don’t have an issue with those things. Especially when the person asking you is using it as a tactic while you are trying to alarm about human rights being violated, and civilians / children being hurt.
I’m afraid that they know and just don’t care.
Yes, the EU should consist of democratic and non-corrupt nations, with being a healthy democracy as the bare minimum requirement. You mentioned corruption in Ukraine as if its level were similar to that in other EU countries, but it isn’t. From my perspective, Ukraine’s Euromaidan was a significant step in the right direction, albeit just one of many needed.
The European Union already has nations grappling with issues related to the rule of law and democracy. The goal should be to promote these values and expect them from both current member nations and aspiring candidates. To be considered a part of the European Union, countries should embody these values.
I wish Ukraine and Georgia the best, but it’s not unfounded for people to point out the challenges these states face in those aspects.
ok, so basically im very smol
