it should be illegal to provide subtitles that don't....... match the fucking dialogue. some shows on netflix (and probably many other places) think it's okay to just leave out a bunch of words.

sometimes it's words they don't consider important for some reason but absolutely do affect the meaning and tone. sometimes it's swear words, which is even more insidious - disabled people don't need censorship wtf.

not only are you actively misrepresenting the dialog people have every right to assume is rendered word for word, it's also incredibly distracting if you can hear or lipread what's actually being said.

THE SECRET HISTORY (1992)  “But how,” said Charles, who was close to tears, “how can you possibly justify cold-blooded murder?”

Henry lit a cigarette. “I prefer to think of it,” he had said, “as redistribution of matter.”

Ginger cookie recipe? I searched your tags and couldn’t find it. Pls and thx.

Sure! It’s my grandma’s, and is the best. 

1 cup shortening

1 cup sugar (brown or white, I like using brown)

1 egg

1 cup molasses

2 Tablespoons vinegar (yes really trust me)

5 cups flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon powdered ginger

1 teaspoon powdered cinnamon

1 teaspoon powdered cloves

Cream shortening and sugar. Stir in molasses, vinegar, and egg. Dump all dry ingredients into a separate bowl and stir together with a whisk. Add dry ingredients to wet bit by bit and stir in. 

Roll out on floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out into whatever shapes you like. Place on a greased cookie sheet, bake at 375F for 5-6 minutes, until lightly browned. 

For icing, make a powdered sugar glaze.

Forever ago I did a spell to attract local witchy friends into my life. I used lemon balm from my garden, local sea salt, ash from a fire pit from a house that I love, rose petals from the house of a family member I love, and other local ingredients.

It was SO MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE than any spell I’d done for that using store-bought ingredients.

That started my love affair with using spell elements that I have a personal relationship/connection to. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I mean it makes sense, right? In addition to the spirit of whatever you’re using having a better disposition towards you because it actually knows you, if you want a spell to affect your local area you should use ingredients from that area.

(I also had a thought, but haven’t tested it, that using ingredients from a wide variety of locations could help spread out the area that the spell affects. hmu if you try it)
