- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

"Did I use sectumsempra 6 times, or was it only 5? You've got to ask yourself one question... do you feel Felix Felicis'y? Well, do ya, PUNK?"
The crossover we didn't know we needed
If you're looking for a pulpy noir in that vein, I suggest The Dresden Files.
Just say ACAB. Numbers as code look like racist dog whistling.
fuck that. numbers are cool. we got 69, 420, 1312, 1312a, 8647, 58008, 5318008, e, we got all kinds of cool numbers
You forgot 67
>.>
<.<
67 wasn't forgotten, it was excluded.
no i didn't
What's 1312a?
also 1312
Googled it because I didn't know either, and 1312 is just a numerical coding of ACAB (a=1, b=2,c=3....)
No idea what the 'a' is in 1312a googling 1312a just gets me fancy speaker wire....
I made it the fuck up, senator
Hating cops and being racist is not mutually exclusive though
They already have Norse runes and the swastika don't fucking give them numbers too.
I've thought about it and there's something to it. There's really no reason to be cryptic or vague about ACAB. Next time, I'll write it out.
You could just take it off them. Dilute the pool of numbers. Now the racists won't know if they're talking to a bigoted saddo racist like them or a sick anarchist who is ready to smash the fasch
Bold take in a computer science oriented environment.
Lemmy's not that computer science oriented any more, much like Reddit.
This community specifically is a comics community, and this comic is about a very mainstream fiction series. Can't get much more normie than that.
No, you see, the vast bootlicking contingent in... checks notes... Lemmy will violently persecute the author. The subterfuge is paramount.

I would never read a JKR book ever again, but if I did it would probably if it followed his sports career.
