  • I’m currently going though the books and from what I can tell, Harry especially takes issues with some teachers. He hates history and doesn’t understand divination but he’s fine with charms, defense against the dark arts and even potions once Snape no longer teaches it.

    It’s just that during the lessons she describes, they usually have stuff like Quidditch or Voldemort stuff going on so they don’t really pay attention. They also don’t like doing homework so they let Hermione do it for them. And they still did pretty well on the OWLs so all in all, I think they were fine with class but by and large, she just doesn’t really write about classes that went their regular course.





  • I’m not really an avid gamer but I’ve been gaming since I was around 10 which is 22 years ago. I think most games I played somewhere around 300 hours, like Borderlands, Borderlands 2, The Pre-Sequel and 3, so that adds up to about 1200 hours. I finished quite a list of rpg’s over the years.

    But, I bought Rocket League in 2016 or so and since you can just casually play a game or two in between other stuff I’ve got over 1500 hours in. I’m not even really that good at it. I think some 100 hours would be just sitting in main menu with friends or leaving it open while going to do something else. Sometimes, I could just listen to music while absent-mindedly driving my rocket car around the field in casual.

    So what I’m saying is, time span is an important measure here. Steam should also include stats about how many hours a year people have put in on average, or per month. I think those thousands of hours for some might be put into better perspective.




  • I’m not sure but I would guess that there are ‘standards’ involved. Usually guys who go incel see a physical relationship as some sort of conquest.

    They are more interesed in the act than the person. And for that act, they want it to be some sort of achievement so rather than getting to know someone they only go by shallow characteristics.

    But usually incels are either physically unattractive or socially (very) awkward or a combination of both, making them unable to complete their conquest. Get rejected enough times and they’ll tell themselves the problem lies with women in general.

    I dunno about femcels, mostly because I’ve never seen one irl. I imagine they are also physically unattractive and/or socially awkward so they would never be ‘targeted’ by incel types.

    The guys I knew that fit the profile would also not be too keen on personal hygiene, healthy habits like proper food and drink and exercise and they dismissed pretty much anything mainstream society deems positive. Most of what they say or do comes from a negative place. I can imagine girls don’t really go for a guy like that, regardless if they are femcels or not.
