The stuff that kids do to animals in the series can be kind of horrifying.

In the fifth book, the students have to vanish mice and then kittens during Transfiguration. Even if this is painless for the mice and kittens, they are effectively killing small animals just because they can.

In the fourth book, when they're turning hedgehogs into pincushions, Professor McGonagall says to a student that his pincushion still curls up in fright when someone approaches it with a pin. This implies that there's a spectrum of incomplete transfiguration and that there's a possibility that a hedgehog can be close enough to a pincushion that it can't move while getting stabbed with pins.

There are other cases of incomplete transfiguration where animals end up deformed. Sure they can be put right, but it has to be so unpleasant for the animal until then.

Thoughts on this?

This happens all the time, typically when someone asks a question about a controversial topic. I may not agree with the people who answer the question, but the purpose of the OP asking the question was to hear from those people.

Edit: I realized I should've given an example. There was an AskReddit thread about a month ago where an OP asked women who slept with married men to share why they did it. The top comments were mostly women saying they wouldn't do that, and the comments from women who were sharing why they had slept with married men were downvoted.

I just created a data request for an account I've had for years. I then noticed that I've sent photos years ago that have grids on them e.g. a meme with a keyboard, a photo of a window.

I'm worried about my account getting flagged by the process of the app gathering and reviewing all this data. Am I being overly anxious?

A few years ago I was driving and I came to a street where there was an ambulance blocking the way while paramedics were working on getting someone onto a stretcher and into the ambulance. The lady in the car behind me kept laying down on the horn the whole time that I was waiting for the paramedics to be done. Even if she couldn't see the paramedics and the patient, she could definitely see the ambulance.

It defeats the purpose of taking the potion, and as far as I can tell, there's no plot-relevant reason for this to be the case.

For all the credit card rewards I'm getting. I get credit card rewards as a percentage of the amount I spend on gas, and those rewards have just been rolling in lately.

From what I can tell, he has a similar amount of if not fewer lines than the other students, other than Enjolras and Marius of course.

Why YSK: if you see a story in the media about someone having a bad experience with a healthcare organization or school, you should keep in mind that you are almost always hearing one side of the story and that the healthcare organization or school is not able to correct things in the story even if they are outright lies. This is due to HIPAA and FERPA respectively.

EDIT: this applies to people in the US.

They're saying that it's a really good deal, but it's throwing up so many red flags for me. I'm not a boat person at all though.

I didn't realize just how much medical admin people care about patient satisfaction scores until I watched the show. I'm happy to contribute more positive scores.

I just rewatched the episode where Danny's car gets totaled and Joey and Jesse get him the twin brother of the car. What kind of car is it, and is it a luxury car of some kind? I'm a little baffled that his insurance gave him $11,700 (equivalent to $34,298 today) for a ten-year-old car. I had an eight-year-old car get totaled a few years ago, and the car insurance didn't give me anything close to $11,700. And that was in a few years ago currency!
