@@lifotheparty6195 explain why then, pink is seen as a feminine color and thats because statistically females like it much more than males. And its pretty obvious that gay men tend to be more likely to be feminine than straight men. Also not everyone is born gay, studies have shown that there is many ways one can grow up to be gay do to various things. Sure its not nearly 100% but it still exists. Also saying someone is feminine isnt offensive because being feminine isnt bad. So if every part of it is partially based in fact and none of it is harmful how is it deeply offensive? Sure its a bit stereotypical, but again its hardly offensive. Overusing words when they dont fit is what makes people take those situations and words less seriously, its a boy who cried wolf situation. Pink krytonite turning him gay is just a joke, and a pretty lighthearted one at that, I dont know why people act like its incredibly offensive. I can only imagine that if you get offended so much by that then you must have it pretty good, that or youve been staying on the selfrightous side of twitter too long.

some Ravenclaw witches and wizards tend to have qualities that would allow them to develop the skill for limited wandless magic: Intelligence - The natural ability to understand, reason, and think critically about complex magical concepts. • Curiosity - The desire to experiment, research, and discover the secrets and nuances of magic. • Work ethic - The diligence and determination to study and practice magic for years to develop the type of focus and control needed for wandless spells. While Ravenclaws are known for their intelligence, creativity, and wit, their thought processes and abilities often manifest in unique ways that set them apart from others. The traits that define Ravenclaws, including intelligence, wisdom, creativity, and curiosity, can lead some Ravenclaws to develop prodigious talents at a young age. However, for many other Ravenclaws, these traits simply result in above-average intellectual abilities and aptitudes for learning. Given their distinctively clever and insightful nature, even Ravenclaws who are not traditionally considered 'prodigies' can still think, perceive and excel in ways that set them apart from their peers.

I like the idea of The Thousand Acre Wood not being a high-octane version, but just being a bigger version, with the exact same number of residents, just spread out further, so they rarely meet and they’re all distrusting of each other. “Oh bother, Rabbit’s on my property again.

If I’m not mistaken, Rowena’s decision to guard the Ravenclaw Common Room with a riddle is based on her belief that any who make the effort to seek and manage to be clever should be rewarded for their work. She was always my favorite of the Founders. The Houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin are more about belonging to a club of elites. And anyone who asks will probably be let in to the Hufflepuff Common Room, they are all about making people feel like part of a family.

Funnily enough these riddles ARE fairly secure because apparently (at least i remember reading this somewhere) witches and wizards by default are less logic based in their thinking due to them being magical creatures and magic is basically the opposite of logic. Most muggles, if they could somehow get into Hogwarts, would be able to get into the Ravenclaw common room while only a few non-ravenclaws would and those who would be able to were most likely considered for Ravenclaw to begin with (McGonagall was a hat stall and could easily do it and while we did not get evidence of it, we all know Hermoine would be able to and the hat was also considering putting her in Ravenclaw) Hufflepuff's "password" is a just knocking the correct barel in the basement. you gotta knock on a specific barrel in the tempo of "Helga Hufflepuff" if you fail you get doused in vinegar. This password never gets changes and cleaning off vinegar from yourself is basically wizard 101 so it does feel pretty tame.

Um actually, this episode is two years old and I'm positive somebody else pointed this out by now. But gold kryptonite is capable of permanently taking away the Kryptonian ability to process yellow sunlight removing all powers gained from that sunlight. Also in Justice League Action, pink kryptonite is shown to also be able to change a Kryptonian's gender.

Wizards are also more routed in Wicka arts so to separate gender by distinction in those arts we have Wizard (male) and Witches (female).

Um actually, even though I'm way late to watching this and Brennan was correct in saying that the key components of the lightsaber were 'kyber' crystals, that is not the only part wrong with this. Jedi training does in fact involve hand-creating their own unique saber and powering them with kyber crystals typical found through the trials in Ilum's crystal caves, but as of current canon, which includes when this came out, Sith training does not include this. They can fashion their own blade but are encouraged as part of their training to claim the Blade of a defeated Jedi and focus their anger and pain into the contained kyber crystal, to literally bleed it as kyber is a living entity. The resulting intensity and instability of the process is what shifts the blade to its red color.

Only jedi used them, and then only jedi knights, yoda never needed them. Vader was only an exception as he was a jedi who turned to the darkside - his red lightsabre symbolised him being a knight who turned to the dark, like the black knight in Arthurian myth.

16:36 not sure if anyone else has said this, but basically back in earlier queer history, stereotypes were far better for queer representation at the time than they’re seen today. A stereotype was basically a way that could be used to identify the sexuality of a character without explicitly saying it and risking getting censored or blacklisted. They became a way for gay people to find others like them without being out in an unsafe world, and were generally embraced by the queer community. Rock Hudson insisting on adding gay stereotypes was his way of letting the world know that he and his characters are gay in a way that didn’t remove his voice from the canon.

Um, actually... we were rewatching and noticed an issue with the entire question! Jules Verne wrote "Vingt mille lieues sous les mers" originally in French. While known as "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" due to the popularity of the film, it was published as "20,000 Leagues Under the Seas" originally. Seas, plural! This changes the entire structure of the sentence and helps communicate the understanding that the submarine is traveling 20,000 around instead of down.

How about rewatch the beginning and learn how the show works? It’s not a question it's an incorrect statement. The whole point is to correct that leagues isn’t a measuring depth, that isn’t anything to do with the title it’s just how the unit works (like stories measure the height of buildings, leagues measure across water). Seas over sea doesn’t change the structure of the sentence but it might help someone ignorant of the answer to figure it out. It wouldn’t be much of a quiz if all the corrections could be figured out just by paying attention.

@Judg3m3nt

while a fun fact, I think changing seas to plural doesn't specify it is travelling across multiple of them. People often use plural as just a general phrase. "I've ridden the high seas for years" doesn't actually have to mean I've been to more than one ocean. I could just be stating that I've sailed on the ocean for a long time (another example in what I just said; being that many people refer to the general waters of Earth as just The Ocean, even though it is multiple bodies of water).

To clarify the "20,000 leagues under the sea" issue, Brennan was actually correct about in his assertion that oceanic depth is measured in fathoms and NOT leagues. The reason the point was not awarded is because Nemo traveled 20,000 leagues in DISTANCE, while being underwater in the sea. This would be like describing a long hike during a hot summer day as "100 miles under the sun".

A League and a fathom are planar/directional by definition. A league is a measurement of distance traveled on or in a parallel reference plane to the surface of the sea or ground. The origins of the word are attributed to the measurement that a Roman legion would travel in an hour. The historical length of the league is dependent on where you were and whose standard of measurement you were living in. Fathoms is always depth. It would be incorrect to say I walked 20 fathoms. A mile, foot, meter, etc. is omni-directional meaning that a foot is the same no matter the direction. If you were in a submarine you could say we are at 6 fathoms and direction is implied. If you were to say we are 36 feet you would have to add the word depth to indicate direction. Measuring depth in leagues is also useless because the level of accuracy is terrible. Fathoms were used primarily for ships to know the depth of water in shipping channels, around reefs, etc. So yes they are both measures of distances but they have very different meanings and are not interchangeable.
