What a weird thing to worry about in a world where some of the most recognizable products have silly, unserious names like Google and Twitter, and where the slogan for one of the most popular media players of all time is “it really whips the llama’s ass”

You insulted my intelligence (“can’t build you a logic bridge big enough blah blah blah”) and then hit me with the ol “nuh uh, you’re wrong I’m right” argument, so I’m forced to believe I’m talking with a child. Go to bed son, you’ve got school in the morning.

Gimp. A word used to refer to someone with a lower extremity injury or deformity, or a synonym for the word “hobble”

Hey you fucking acorn, wanna take a break from insulting me and putting words in my mouth to point out where I said that the only people suitable for law enforcement are pieces of shit?

My point, for the third (3rd) time, is that having Harry be interested in being a cop is out of character and poor writing because of Harry’s traits and background

You could try typing the term used to refer (usually derogatorily) to a person with an injury or deformity in their lower extremities, or the term used as a synonym for hobble.

Whoa wait what? I love Creepy Nuts, what’s this anime you speak of?

Does it? Honestly?

What? Those aren’t equivalent at all. My whole point is that it’s bad writing and out of character for Harry to be interested in becoming a cop. Him becoming a cop is in no way equivalent to him pursuing literally anything else that would be more in-character.

Your second point has nothing to do with anything, and I don’t know why you included it.

WTF is up with Lemmy lately? At times it seems like it’s been overrun by a bunch of pearl clutchers and prudes.

Like, it’s ok to talk about sex. Sex is a natural, healthy component of most relationships. Someone mentioning something adjacently related to sex shouldn’t send you into an R-rated tizzy, and if it does, you might want to examine your thoughts and feelings about sex, because they probably aren’t all healthy.

Eh, that’s basically the exact definition of news actually lmao

Mkay have fun on your mission dude, I wish you the best

Those things qualify you for a whole slew of jobs, and Harry has plenty of other interests besides fighting evil wizards. It seems like very shallow, hackneyed writing to have a 14-year-old latch on to becoming a cop in a community that he didn’t even know existed until he was 11*, one which he literally isn’t permitted to participate in until he finishes boarding school.

No, I don’t really want more paragraphs dude, it’s getting exhausting trying to parse any points out of what’s already there. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around thr fact that the person who posted this video of cops being terrible people would then advocate for leftists to befriend and become cops themselves, over advocating for institutional, systematic change.

And if you’re implying that the left has no plan, I implore you to extricate yourself from the rock you’re living under.

The only thing I’m getting here is that you think that police are the only/ultimate positions of authority, which is shedding some light on the rest of your “arguments”.

Good luck infiltrating the cops my dude, I wish you the best and good luck. I’ll be over here working on other, useful things.

You think leftists can just join the police and fix everything from the inside? Have you tried? You think Republicans are more likely to do the job because not enough leftists apply, and not because the system selects specifically for conservative-minded people?

Leftists don’t villify the job. Leftists villify the system that actively selects against them, educated people, and people with empathy, a system inherently rooted and founded upon racist principles.

The system cannot be fixed from within by infiltrating it with some lefty cops, and your suggestion to do so is laughably naive at best, and maliciously counterproductive at worst. The system needs to be rebuilt and retooled. And that’s not going to happen just by being nice to cops, or by leftists becoming cops.

What? Dawg that’s what you’re advocating for. Are you ok?

Oh God, they’re trying the right-wing psyop campaign on Lemmy

Auror was his very first idea

Not to nitpick, but Auror was Rowling’s first idea, as you suggest in your last sentence there. Rowling’s narrow-minded world view wouldn’t let the hero become a teacher, or a politician, or an activist, or anything else. Her view of the world says cops are the real heroes, so the hero of her story must become a cop.

Ok so it sounds like you are advocating for the left to be its own protection.

Remind me again why we need to be nice to police then?

Even if a person is smart, they still have blind spots and areas in which they are still indeed dumb as fuck. Unfortunately, for a lot of people, those blind spots lie in things like politics, economics, and civics.
