Isn’t that just the killing curse with extra steps? Magic is a lot harder to evade.

During the Dumbledore’s army arc, I think book 5. I don’t really care enough to go back and find the quote, but it was a fairly significant plot point in the resistance movement.

I hate JKR too, but she literally did. Wizard clothes are enchanted with protego charms which turn away any mundane attacks, and wizards really have no reason to fear muggles. During the witch trials some would allow themselves to be burned at the stake because they liked how the flames tickle. It’s very much a ‘magic must defeat magic’ setting.

In the books it explains that wizard robes have charms against physical attacks woven into the threads. They’re wearing full body bulletproof vests.

It wouldn’t even get through a wizard’s robes, they’re enchanted with protego charms (at least according to the books)

Who has ever seen a yellow Canada tour bus? Pretty much the only yellow busses in US and Canada are for school.

They never should have ripped the solar panels off the Whitehouse.

I have always thought marshmallow maties made more sense than lucky charms. It’s only natural for marshmallows adrift in a milk sea to turn to piracy.

I think we just don’t like guns.

Russia did start it, that’s why the Minsk Accords were a thing to begin with. You’re the one pretending history starts at some politically convenient point.

Ukraine is a distinct nation with its own culture, language, history and art. They should be free to self govern, not be conquered by a neighbor. There is no justification for Russia’s invasion, it’s a genocide.

Russia started the war and they have the power to end it. That’s not ‘warmongering’ it’s the only path to lasting peace. Fuck war, fuck Putin.

Fuck off, imprisonment for being trans is destructive and outright evil, so is bombing prisoners.

When lead combines with acid it creates lead acetate which interacts with the sugar receptors in the mouth. I’m not sure why, I think the molecules just happen to have a similar shape.

EDIT: after looking at the molecule for lead acetate, it appears to resemble two simple carbohydrates connected by an atom of lead, so I’d imagine the receptor sees the outside and assumes it’s something sweet.

I don’t understand how that’s blame, it’s a natural outcome. If I said ‘carrying a nestle water bottle has the effect of promoting the brand, even if you didn’t pay for it’ that doesn’t mean I’m blaming people for drinking water, it’s just an observation about the power of branding.
