Given the fact that was the eastern borderlands of the Franks and covers roughly Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands I’m gonna assume the only connection to Austria these territory has is the Aust portion. Also Austria evolved out of Otto the Greats Holy Roman Empire not the Carolingian Empire though admittedly it does have its roots in Charlamagnes campaign against the Avars.

Point is East is relative, the East Coast of Asia is to my West.

It makes sense when you consider that the Osterreich was a border princedom against the Magyars originally before growing into something far more notable. Same thing happened with Brandenburg and Pomerania with the Old Prussians.

Probably somewhere in Britain or Ireland based off of the sign style, the grass, and the roof in the background.

In the mildest defense of Rowling she actually did put it into the books that you can’t just poof food into existence. Summoned food has no nutritional value and duplicated food has its nutrients halved, the food was cooked by house elves and teleportex to the dining hall. It’s explained somewhat similar to how folks can starve on lean meats, you are physically full but without something in addition you’ll just starve to death, it’s actually an element of the last book that the main cast are slowly starving to death for a bit.

Though none of that stops them from producing food via other magical means such as what amounts to magical automata. Pretty sure the car in book two had animalistic sentience by the point of the spider subplot, so there’s nothing stopping them from making magic farming tools that do that all automatically. They really should be a post scarcity society, but well Rowlings a shit world builder.

I meant in a they don’t even make enough money to qualify for taxes type of way.

Pretty sure there are some struggling artist who also don’t pay taxes. Mostly because they are too poor but still.

The micro rollercoaster radiated “This damned thing has been sitting storage the fuck are we supposed to do with it” energy. Someone had a micro rollercoaster probably for festivals and things bad did not want to store it.

I didn’t know a mime getting hanged was in the Bible. Gotta feel bad for the French even their god hates them.

Hence why Lilly triggering some time of ancient ritual or creating a new ritual to counter the killing curse makes sense to me. Mind you Rowling is shit when it comes to in depth world building, but what she does set up even unintentionally is that the wizarding world is on decline possibly in a 40k type way where they are simply losing more and more knowledge after each generation. Having Lilly create or activate an old ritual either intentionally or not doesn’t remove the sacrifice it simply remove Rowlings stupid power of love trite. The power of love is still present but more symbolic in Lilly using her and possibly James as a catalyst to protect Harry.

Also I have accidentally pointed out the flaws of Rowling writing just to nerd out about magic systems. I don’t even dislike soft magic it’s just Rowling did it badly, aight gonna go read Yojou Senki.

Pretty sure the top image is the last stand of the Thunder warriors from 30k. The emperor’s treason shall not be forgotten, FOR THE WAR MASTER!

Doesn’t have to be a well or latrine, could be earthen works, running water pipes, or the corpse hole.

At least TV ads could be entertaining back in the day, but modern internet ads are both boring and obnoxious. One minute you’re watching Invader Zim the next you’re watching Billy advertise a burger press, nostalgia.

I always liked the idea the it was actually just blood/death magic and everyone was just too ideologically blinded to see that sacrificial magic was used for good. It makes sense that Voldemort would be blindsided that one of Dumbledores followers used a bit of dark magic, imagine fighting someone who refused to use chemical weapons only for them to decide to use a nuclear landmine on you in particular.

Also if the company refuses and hires scabs you can always put the money towards hiring union enforcers. Mind you we aren’t quite there again but I don’t we’re too far off either, showing up to a scabs home at 2AM to have a nice talk or ambushing the boss on his way home. The glory days may be long gone but I hope to see new glory forged.

Wasn’t aware of that snippet, here I thought trans-inclusive radical misogyny was just a Jello-apocalypse bit. Then again knowing how these people are having been around a couple IRL I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if there’s some weird psychological bullshit mixed in.

That’s just confirmed. There’s also rumors he was fucking around with one of his Groypers, which given their heavy male tilt is definitely likely to have been at least a little gay.

As someone who is aromantic and thoroughly insular on a social level. This is a pretty piss poor excuse, I may be a virgin but that’s because I don’t like dealing with folks in general, Fuentes is just a gay Nazi who is so fucken far into the closet he is in Narnia.

Reminder he was caught jacking it to femboy porn.

No but my suffering is funny. Also I have weird reactions to drugs sometimes, sure the caffeine reacts fine but the anesthesia will work itself out of my system within 10 minutes for some reason.

There are people who were born in 2008 who are 17. Point is greybeard there are definitely adults who postedate windows XP which came out in 2001. In 2001 I was 2 at the most and only on the last month and a fifth of the year, I am now 26.

English is three languages in a trench coat mugging other languages for more words. That’s why it’s so fucky, also there have been attempts to reform the language but outside of the Webster Oxford split most of the time it’s only effected a word or two resulting in weirdnes like with solder/sodder/soder which are all ways of saying and spelling the same fucking word.

It’s frankly a miracle nearly every dialect is intelligible with eachother if folks slow down their speech, though mines so fucken scuffed it breaks speech to text.
