Older guy told me he read Dahl (Matilda?) to his grandkid & passed the lesson that you gotta be careful who you trust… are his works viewed negatively?

Used to right? Back to bins?

Almost always which is why it’s so good when you search a short original thought in quotation marks and nothing comes up

You’re aight if you don’t click the disambiguation link

I think we can keep Pay It Forward, I don’t think I knew it was a film much less an abuser-starring film.

The concept is old, but the particular phrase may have been coined by Lily Hardy Hammond in her 1916 book In the Garden of Delight. Robert Heinlein’s 1951 novel Between Planets helped popularize the phrase.

Very interesting, thank you!

We probably think the first contact rules in Star Trek makes some sense. Is HP‘s magic disparate?

Edit:

Interesting that Muggles will never grow to become magical meanwhile a civilization can develop drive on the road. So one day one you would have tons of people trying to marry wizards/witches, and begging the wizarding community not just for help but for advancement and personal gain. I imagine immense resentment. Would be a toughie!

I feel that. Thanks for sharing.

Years fighting in court to even be allowed to sort through the dump :)
