And they used those unresolved emotional issues to abuse their children physically and psychologically. Which is why the boomers are the way they are.

I mean it took them forever to get indoor plumbing. The Romans had indoor plumbing.
Harry Potter wizards use magic instead of technology, they don’t really seem to be interested in using both together. So I believe that they don’t go out of their way to understand technology or the physics behind it.
Many magical things defy physics in that world. I think wizards in that universe see science as an obstacle and not a valuable method for understanding reality. Because their reality defies understanding by scientific process. It’s all ritual based. The pronunciation of a spell changes its effect.
It’s not a lack of critical thinking that makes them avoid science. It’s the fact that what they do is more immediately effective than science.
I mean they don’t really get taught anything about the outside world. I don’t remember seeing physics or social studies or any other “normal” class on Harry Potter’s class list.
My understanding is that they used wards to prevent technology from working near them.
Sure would be nice to see a game from them. I don’t even care about any of the third sequels we all want. I just want to see something.
Eh, if you want specific endings you need a guide or you can spend hundreds of hours finding and talking to each npc after each boss fight. I don’t have that kind of time and I don’t like getting locked out of things because I only talked to the creepy dead looking guy five times instead of six.
The lack of object permanence solution to the trolly problem.
It depends on your state. The verbiage that works on one state doesn’t necessarily work in another.
The same is mostly true in the US. The companies use them to scare people into settlements. But it does depend on the state.
And the cybertuck
It is extremely dangerous, we must deal with it.
I think they want to avoid the abuse potential. It could be used to make fun of little people.
He is a bastard.
There are fewer verbs than nouns I’m sure our brains prioritize accordingly
A steam deck competitor or something like Atari’s recent console is more likely than a PlayStation or Xbox competitor.
That’s valve’s philosophy though. It’s the reason we never got a half life 3.
These are not incompatible. If the first is your normal state of mind and the second allows you to process your feelings and forget that moment, then it’s all good.
Because I don’t want to pay $20 and spend 2 and a half hours to decide whether I wanted to spend $20 and two and a half hours on that thing.
Reviews exist to help people decide. Of course they won’t be exactly my opinion, but they can tell me whether the experience will be worth my time and money. Or at least if the movie contains stuff that I definitely wouldn’t want to see.
How do I use my own opinion about a movie that I have not seen to decide whether I will enjoy the movie or not?
The franchise is huge in China. Just because your group didn’t like it doesn’t mean they are faking anything
Science as a methodology began developing in the real world during the renaissance. Prior to that people had methodologies that provided moderately accurate models of reality but often included superstition, unsupported metaphysics, or religious dogmas. These other inclusions are what we call magic: Alchemy, astrology, geomancy, thaumatergy etc.
Assuming Harry Potter’s world developed similarly to ours, the muggles would have taken a scientific view of reality beginning around the 1500s. But magic was real and wizards kept their magical methodology and metaphysics.
They clearly have learned a lot about magic because they no longer call on demons or need the moon to be in a particular phase, but they aren’t using the scientific method to do that.
