Hatstalls, from JKR via Pottermore
Okay but the Hat was just like, “Sure kid whatever” when Harry requested against Slytherin. What kind of conversation was this?
NO NEVILLE I CAN’T DO THAT YOU HAVE THE HEART OF A LION
THE WIZARD OF OZ WILL GIVE YOU COURAGE NEVILLE
HAKUNA MATATA NEVILLE
DO NOT RECITE THE DEEP MAGIC TO ME NEVILLE I WAS THERE WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN
Okay, I’ve seen this post a couple of times & something just occurred to me.
Harry was pretty 50/50 Gryffindor/Slytherin from what I remember the hat saying (and according to the wiki blurb on hatstalls having a fairly equal split of traits from more than one house is the common cause of them) so when he asked not to be put into Slytherin the hat was fine with taking that preference into account and put him in Gryffindor. (Also the fact that the hat said he could be great and powerful in Slytherin and Harry’s response was pretty much no I don’t want that pretty clearly demonstrates non-Slytherin traits.)
On the other hand, the above doesn’t mention the hat being at all indecisive about where to put Neville. The hat wasn’t going “hmmm this is tough you’re pretty Gryffindor but you’re kind of Hufflepuff too”. It was probably more like “Yep! Gryffindor for sure!” Followed by Neville being all “No I’m totally a Hufflepuff!” and then proceeding to argue with the hat about it for almost 5 minutes. (Which when you think about it is a super Gryffindor thing to do.) By the end the hat was probably like oh my god kid you’re so Gryffindor you’re practically Godric’s heir shut up and get sorted there already!

I’m never eating Oreos again 😢😭
Keep in mind that the average person can burn 70 calories just by:
- Sleeping for about an hour
- Meditating for about an hour
- Cleaning your house for 20 minutes
- Mopping for 18 minutes
- Watching television for about an hour
- Showering and drying yourself for 30 minutes
Food is what fuels us and allows us to exist throughout the day: Without those 70 calories, simple daily activities like this wouldn’t even be possible. So to believe that those calories need to instantly and inherently be exercised away is harmful and downright untrue.
–> Exercise is not a punishment for eating food.
–> Calories do not instantly need to be negated by exercise.
Your body is going to continue burning calories and using up energy whether or not you do a thousand jumping jacks. Trying to “balance” out your caloric intake like this will doubtless lead to an abusive and unhealthy relationship with food. Please don’t think of calories as something bad or guilty - You need them. They’re here to help your body and support your activity, not serve as a shameful source of fitness motivation.
TDEE: Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It’s the amount of calories your body needs in a single day to stay at the same weight, without taking into account exercise. I can’t speak for how accurate it is, but this site gives a good overview of the concept and a way to calculate it.
For example, I’m currently 5′8″ and ~255 pounds. My TDEE is somewhere around 2500 calories. To give you an example of just how much food that is this is what I had to eat today:
Breakfast: Fruit and cereal bar
Snack: Fiber one chocolate caramel and pretzel bar
Lunch: 2 slices of white garlic pizza
Snack: 1 ounce of sliced ham and another fruit and cereal bar
Dinner: Shepperd’s pie
Snack: Weight watcher’s chocolate creme cake.
All of that came to around 1900-2000 calories. I’ve been tracking this consistently over the summer and I’ve already lost about 15 pounds with no change to my normal amount of exercise.
Your body needs a decent amount of calories each day, you don’t have to obsess over it as long as you’re aware of how much you’re eating, and the calories you eat tend to have a bigger impact on weight loss then your exercise. (Although exercising does help and gives you a ton of other benefits as well.)
TLDR: Treat yo self.

I want to punch whoever came up with the phrase “the customer is always right” because the customer is wrong, like really fucking wrong, 97% of the time.
“I want the tacos with the hard shells”
Me:“ ma'am we don’t serve hard shell tacos. We have a soft flour tortilla or soft corn tortilla”
“Oh. Then I want the corn. Those are the hard shell ones right?”
Me:“no, ma'am, we don’t serve hard shell tacos. We have flour or corn tortillas”
“Flour or corn? So…which ones are the hard ones?”
-.-.-.-
“Hey the lettuce from the salad bar doesn’t taste right.”
“Uh sir we don’t have a salad bar. That’s the decorative kale for our salsa bar. It’s not meant to be eaten”
“Well if it’s not meant to be eaten why are you serving it?!”
“Sir, it’s decorative. We aren’t serving it.”
-.-.-.-
“What’s this extra charge on my receipt? Why are you charging me extra? I demand to talk to a manager!!”
“Sir that’s the tax, it’s 5% in our state.”
“No you’re trying to steal from me, I’ll have you fired!”
“Sir, it says right there that it’s the tax.”
-.-.-.-Good god the list could go on forever
“Why aren’t you scanning my coupon?”
“Because it’s expired, Ma'am.”
“Well, can’t you just run it anyway and just… Not tell anyone?”
“No ma'am, the cash register knows all the coupons and it will detect that this one’s expired.”
“That’s not fair! You can’t just send people coupons and not let them use them when they’re only a day late!”
“Ma'am, I-”
“Can’t you just run it??”
“No, ma'am. I can’t. It’s imposs-”
“THEN FIND ME SOMEONE WHO CAN!!”I can’t count the number of times customers will claim to know our prices better than us and the managers.
One of the things I love about the company I work for is that when a bunch of the higher ups came to a celebration we had for a new store opening, the vice president of store operations said “Contrary to popular belief the customer is not always right, but it isn’t our job to tell them that.”
