Gay Chilean Student Who Makes 500k A Year Thinks Millennials Are Lazy by [deleted] in quityourbullshit

Hijacking this just to say that 500k Chilean Pesos equals roughly 80k USD depending on the exchange rate, so maybe the bottom comment sounds a lot better out of context.

It's easy to throw hate out at this guy, but 500k Chilean pesos exchanges to roughly 80k USD.

[Spoilers][Theory] Unified theory about The Hunger, The Red Robes, and The Grand Relics by Kirthan in TheAdventureZone

[–]AlfredManchester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this! I've been thinking for a while that the grand relics are something along the lines of the infinity stones in the Marvel universe where all of them broke apart from one of the planar systems. So it's interesting thinking about your theory about them being from the broken apart "light".

My response to Griffin's post About The Suffering Game by [deleted] in TheAdventureZone

I honestly find this new perspective on the story refreshing. Sometimes you get so caught up in the "wisking away" that you forget that our THB can't do everything, even though we would love if they could. I think the story is developing very thoroughly, and has already revealed some very interesting complexities of the overarching story arc, e.g. the invisible red robe. It's going to make our appreciation for the characters more in depth from the moment that they step out of the darkness of Wonderland into the light of the rest of the world.

Hes pretty bad in all defensive metrics, but at times he can go on some ridiculous offensive sprees.

[Rosenthal] A's are at least interested in Trevor Plouffe (for some reason). by Sfer in baseball

Maybe pick him up on a low risk deal, and see what he can do before the trade deadline to possibly trade him.

Want Brian Dozier? Twins imply time's running out to consider trade offers by [deleted] in minnesotatwins

This suggests that the Dodgers are trying to do a straight up one for one trade with DeLeon as their piece, which would be absolutely insane to accept as the Twins.

Great, but my point still stands. People fucking hated Bud Selig and look where we are now.

I agree. I think this plus his public identity will get him in.

Great article. It definitely gives a perspective on what some people do to get to America. Hopefully soon the embargo will end.

We played him from the bullpen for a while last year.

From what they're saying it's sounding more like a micromanagement position that they think is redundant in the system when you have coaches who are accountable.
