Lukas, everyone is lying except you. Caffeine has a half life of 72 hours. The human body adjusts to its modest “stimulant” (it just blocks awareness of tiredness, it’s not inherently stimulating like cocaine or Ritalin) in a few days. What Lukas describes is ordinary and true.

Consider for a moment: #Malfoid is largely a movement where married conservative Millennial men are giving all the encouragement they can to single Zoomer men to put down gooning and embrace yearning. Some have already begun finding relationships, even after swearing it off.

Even ignoring the Malfoid stuff, Malfoy needed better development than: Middle school bully->Reluctant Death Eater->kinda remorseful at the end. A proper character arc would have been great to see.

Traducianism is not false teaching. 
As opposed to “Creationism” (that God immediately creates each new soul ex nihilo at conception), Traducianism asserts that both body AND soul are propagated from one’s parents through natural generation. Traducianism explains the passing down of a sin nature far better than Creationism does. Creationism must explain how a soul immediately created by God comes to possess Adamic corruption without locating the origin of that corruption in God’s creative act. 
Creationists have answers for this, but Traducianism is obviously correct. You are not born as a blank slate; you are the product of your parents, who are the product of their parents. Was Tertullian a false teacher because he believed this? What about Augustine who was sympathetic towards it? Or Gregory of Nyssa? Martin Luther? William G.T. Shedd? A.H. Strong? R.L. Dabney? Traducianism is a legitimate position within Christian orthodoxy. I should know, it’s been my favorite topic with which to blindside dinner guests for years.

A lot of supposedly smart people are revealing their ignorance in saying that the issues discussed in this video are either heresy or demonstrate an unfamiliarity with Christian theology. But the view described is simply traducianism: held in one degree or another by Tertullian, Gregory of Nyssa, the later Luther, John Milton, Jonathan Edwards, Samuel Hopkins, Augustus Strong, Gordon Clark, Millard Erickson, and Norman L. Geisler, just to name a few. So it’s not a fringe belief, even if not the dominant one (i.e., creationism). Traducianism believes that both the body and soul come into existence by the generative powers of the human zygote. The zygote does not just have biological potential but soulish potentialities as well—and that God has designed it this way. This is not to say that God is not involved: God is the primary cause of the creation of a new person, body and soul, and the parents are the secondary cause. But the relationship of these two causes is one of divine concurrence, not occasionalism: God concurs with the procreative sexual act of the mother and father and the generative powers of the combined sperm and egg. So even on traducianism, God knits us together in our mother’s womb. Traducianism has the advantage of explaining the corruption of the soul without positing that God is responsible for creating a fallen (defective) soul, or resorting to the proposition that it is the body which corrupts the soul when the two meet (which of course would naturally lead to a form of ascetic gnosticism, i.e., the body is evil and material desires must be shunned). Traducianism also has the advantage of explaining why children are like their parents *in non-physical ways.* There is a spiritual likeness, not just physical. Finally, one of the fascinating consequences of traducianism is that of origin essentialism, which holds that each person is a unique expression of their parents’ genetic material at a specific moment in time such that had you been born a month earlier or a month later, you wouldn’t be you—you would be a different person. Now, on creationism, God’s special act creates a soul and places it in the body during conception and early gestation. Since on Christianity the essence of the person is their soul, not their body, this means that on creationism you could have been born at any time, to any parents, in a totally different body, in a different culture, etc. On creationism, alternative possible worlds are not just mental exercises but worlds with you in it that God could have actualized. On traducianism, there is only one possible world history in which you exist: the one that currently is. This means that the chances of your existence are staggeringly unlikely—virtually zero—yet here you are. You could not have been born to any other parents; you couldn’t have been born at any other time; you couldn’t have any other body or spiritual/mental qualities. You are utterly unique, a true miracle. It’s mind-blowing, but also a testament to God’s awesome power and wisdom.

Every time I see a post saying the Malfoid trend is dead or dying the next like 3 or 4 posts I see are about Malfoid

Malfoid is actually a porn antidote working well. Men are remembering before porn, being young, when they just wanted that girl to love them back. Can they go back? No. Can they go on better than before? Yes. Very interesting who feels threatened by this, not just the OF girls

"Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper & actress Sophia Bush: if a woman is questioning whether she can do better than her current husband, "the answer is always yes." "This idea that it's too late or you're too old, or who are you to want more, that's patriarchy. That is crazy."

To all those who say that Tolkien wouldn't have liked #Malfoid, all I can say is: Of course he wouldn't have. If something wasn't on the level of his stories with Aragorn and Arwen, he didn't like it. His least liked romance (Faramir and Eowyn) is the most beloved of fans.

One of the biggest thing missing from Harry Potter is the cost of doing magic. Mana pool When building a fictional world it usually doesn’t matter how overpowered something is. You can include anything and everything, stuff that is supremely powerful beyond all reason and the world won’t be broken, if, but only IF, you also add a sufficient cost to counteract the damage. Just to give a random example, Death Note. A magical booklet that will kill anyone whose name you write down, in the manner you describe. It’s as overpowered as it gets, but the cost of using it is you get robbed of an afterlife. You really shouldn’t use it, even though it’s really tempting. There is no cost to doing magic in Harry Potter. It’s ill advised to use stuff like Felix Felicis, because it will make you dangerously reckless and the potion can only guarantee success if you’re actually able to pull the stunt in question off yourself. Beyond that the costs wane rapidly and it becomes more and more difficult to balance everything out. The world is just unbalanced as a result, with plenty of weird coincidences and just unexplained holes. Why do they use a magical train to get to Hogwarts, instead of Floo Powder, for example? There could be a couple of official fireplaces somewhere for those that don’t want to connect to the network, plus the exit point could easily be in Hogsmeade, as not to compromise the security of the school. It’s easier and probably a lot cheaper than a train that takes a day and needs all sorts of enchantments to remain undetected by muggles. This is the biggest mistake in Harry Potter by far. It’s still great series, but this is a genuine gaping hole in their world.
