All those people who saw it, felt concerned, and still did nothing is absolutely horrifying and 100% true

The answer is middlemen.

Considering Mary seems to be around 12-13 from the literature we have? You’ll age out of it, I guess? Cold comfort…

Actually, even if the density was constant, the earth would turn into a black hole when it reached about 1.925 * 10^13 times its original mass, since the mass of a black hole is proportional to its radius, whereas the mass of the earth in this scenario grows proportional to radius cubed. This should happen around 371 years (?) after starting.

(Please check my calculations, I’m not 100% sure.)

I know people who love raw onion enough to try this

When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and then kneecap life while it’s distracted trying to figure out how the hell you did it

And also protest!

Wow, a calamity of epic proportions, who could’ve predicted it? /s

But for real, plastic manufacturers have a lot to answer for.

I’m not sure to what extent it’s actually manifesting differently or being masked better than institutional bias against the idea of women having ADHD - diagnoses are about 3x more rare for women…

For politicians, all publicity is good publicity.

I don’t think it counts as stealing- syncretism is present in virtually every faith that has contact with another faith, modern and ancient.

But the inverse also applies - there’s not much stopping wizards from portkeying/apparating into the Oval Office or the pentagon and magibombing them, or Avada-ing key targets. Wizards are probably the worst kind of guerrilla fighters - ones unchecked by range. And as far as food is concerned, food multiplication is a thing. I personally believe that in the long term, the way muggles would win would be through subverting wizards, not by pure overwhelming force.

But they were able to setup the core of their commercial and governance infrastructure in the middle of London, with no particular notice from muggles - not to mention, we know that the government already knows about wizards (MoM liaises with the PM). So there must be a quid pro quo already in place, with the government tolerating and aiding in the existence of a semi-independent polity in their heartlands in return for unspecified benefits, probably defence against foreign wizards.

True enough, the capabilities of Magic haven’t been explored enough canonically to disprove that - but if the government learned of Magic, the first thing they’d do is subvert some wizards to their side, who might be able to counteract them - in many ways, it’s a battle of statecraft as it is of actual power.

I personally think it depends on exactly what the limits of Magic are - it could be anything from Muggles eradicating Wizards, to the opposite, all very plausibly. To me, it comes down to the power of modern surveillance vs. the power of notice-me-not + space-expansion + anti-detection spells. Plus there’s a whole bunch of other powerful spells and devices (time turners, for example), but the muggles have a while fuckton of gold and other valuables to recruit these capabilities to their side as well.

This should give you a bunch of sources- I learned of this from Dr. Bart Ehrman myself.

Not necessarily- most Zionists are Christians- they have the belief that the apocalypse will be declared by the antichrist at the Temple, so they want Israel to take control of Palestine, demolish the Al Aqsa mosque and rebuild the Temple.

Sometimes, violence is the only way to stop fascists. See: WW2

I never submitted any of my 10th or 12th grade reports on time, since I found them excessively tedious. And virtually all of my assignments in uni were completed last minute.

A lot of symptoms associated with ADHD make procrastination more likely
