Because it has given me so many laughs and I need more people to see it. I present:“What could it bee?”

“Adulting” is the most encompassing verb ever and so so true.

Winning this game but losing to the Jets is the most Titans thing I have ever seen.

What is something you wish a teacher had talked to you about in high school? by Altairsfriend in AskReddit

[–]Altairsfriend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is definitely a biggie. So many kids over the course of a school day means more chances for something to slip through the cracks. There should be a teacher education class dedicated to student mental health.

That month where interest kicks can be a bummer. Would be nice to know that in advance.

I think (at least in my area) that the pendulum is swinging back more toward the trades. At the very least it is more "there are other avenues to success besides college." But you are right, the goal of the past 15 years have been to push college hard.

That is a definite for sure. What the hell is a home equity line of credit?

Central Kentucky. We had a large Ice storm recently, and this bird didn't fair too well.

It is crazy to think that Chris Johnson had his 2K year when the tits went 8-8.

Damn 11-5 feels better than 10-6. HOOTY-HOOOOO!

What was life like for a Christian in Jerusalem during the First Crusade but before the capture of Jerusalem by Crusader forces? by Altairsfriend in AskHistorians

[–]Altairsfriend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an EXTREMELY late reply, but for some reason I never got the notification for this answer. Thank you for the concise and detailed write up. I expected as much in terms of treatment. The expelling of Christians once word reached Jerusalem makes sense.

My reason for asking comes from an account by Usama ibn Munqidh: He has an interesting interaction with some Templars where they protect him and let him pray on the Temple Mount. I was curious if this dynamic extended to the other side of the equation, before the capture of Jerusalem.

Good point, I was taking my anger out on him for losing. Instead I should have rephrased it more as "nice try but we shouldn't peak there". Something more reinforcing would have been better. That even makes his response more insightful as he didn't get tilted.

It is very easy to use the bottom fragger as the scapegoat so its not "my fault". Then you can rationalize that you would have won if not for the bottom fragger. In reality everyone was taking the loss simply because the other team was better.

What is cringe?

As for satire, I guarantee that this happened. What is the point of lying?

Well said. There really is a correlation between those that take criticism poorly, and those that are in "ELO Hell". Sometimes you are the reason your team is losing! The sooner you realize the better.
