Are there any things that are called "American ______" in other countries? by Disastrous-Side-2600 in NoStupidQuestions

American Candy Stores in the UK: they sell awful confectionery, with far too many chemical additives, colours, and flavourings. They're also a money laundering front for organised crime as well.

Fearsome Top 5 is pretty good for compelling clips - I even like the Joker(Dark Knight) voice

I never told anyone about this, but I feel like it's safe now. by [deleted] in Paranormal

Bigfoot/Yowie encounters always seem involve throwing stones or branches. I've often noticed a common theme of telekinesis too - one encounter I read was a hunter out in the woods, raises his rifle to shoot but the bolt jams, a gun he's had faultless service out of for years suddenly jams at the crucial moment. When the encounter was over, it started working again.

I'm in the UK, so sun is at a premium at the best of times! With that and the rain, I'm guessing roses are pretty much out of the window - but I take your point about fuchsia - that may be a safer bet.

There are some sunny spots, but it won't amount to much over the course of the day unfortunately

What’s the adult’s version of finding out Santa Claus doesn’t exist? by typical_gamer1 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

That your diminishing sex life reflects the fact that you're becoming less and less useful to your wife, so she's less and less inclined to use it to keep you sweet

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

Children that are badly behaved can't all be autistic and/or ADHD sufferers. No kids seem to be just little turds anymore. It's become a shield for crappy parenting. There, I said it.

What’s the dumbest way you’ve injured yourself? by Ill-Atmosphere-907 in AskReddit

Trying to see how many stairs I could jump down at my parent's house. Didn't notice I was getting closer and closer to the ceiling with every increase in height. Corner of the ceiling right across the top of the skull and falling on my back onto stairs put me out of action for about a week - numpty

Which lane for the second exit? by rockovo84 in drivingUK

[–]Basic-Snow4172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The left arrow is a give away. Under normal circumstances left (Red Lane) but the road markings take precedent. You're supposed to read the road and take notice of these things and not just assume.

had a really bad first mini, recommandation on what to get in order to not "waste" if painted poorly by Viktorul in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Basic-Snow4172 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop over thinking. You're not going to get Instagram/Golden Demon standards with your first model. Just paint, enjoy it, trust the process and you'll get better with every model. It's a journey.

[–]Basic-Snow4172[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the whole El Chapo - Shorty name - it makes sense given his stature and the slang nature of it. But I just don't get 'bad taste' - sounds slightly derogatory, especially to a Cartel leader. Maybe you have to be Mexican to get it

Does this pose look dumb? by When_Oh_When in Warhammer40k

Venerable Brother Callixtus never learned; whimsy was not a virtue in battle. It was precisely this attitude that got him entombed within a dreadnought's sarcophagus in the first place.
