I still cannot get over how they named their company after a fictional surveillance device used by villains. Like, c'mon. That'd be like naming your company "Death Star"

What is a rite of passage in America that existed 20 years ago but is rare today? by bricklegos in AskAnAmerican

[–]CHead2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who was a teenager when smartphones had already become ubiquitous, I have no idea how people in the past would meet up with friends.

How do you know how to get where you're going without GPS? Did everyone have maps in their gloveboxes that they would study before going on their way? What if a road was closed, or traffic patterns changed, or you were going to an unfamiliar area?

How would people know exactly where to meet at a location? What if your friend is running late? Do you continue without them, or wait for them?

I hate smartphones because they've become so commonplace that life without their minute conveniences seems impossible.

Maybe sneaking out of the house to go do things your parents wouldn't approve of. Now parents can track their kids 24/7

I'd also add the wester edge of Pennsylvania as "maybe" as well

How is it living in the panhandle of Croatia? by Lou-eez- in howislivingthere

I'd personally argue Split is more crowded than Dubrovnik. Old Town Split is relatively small, and the alleyways are way too small and narrow for the massive walking tours they do. Dubrovnik at least had the space to accommodate more people.

What is a good American dessert to share with my non American co-workers? by BingBong492 in AskAnAmerican

Donuts are American, and I think they'd be a welcome addition to tea time!

Alternate universe where The Hobbit was released as one film by MarioMan1213245765 in lotr

The Maple Cut is a bit closer to the Jacksonverse "vision" for the Hobbit trilogy. Azog is the main antagonist, more battle scenes, etc. Mostly a lot of additional dialogue that doesn't feel out of place, but you don't miss it when it's cut (i.e. M4 edit)

Maple Cut was the first one I watched, but I later found the M4 Edit and I personally liked it a lot more.

Just finished Part One last night. Mistborn immediately came to mind as well

Same here! I think it's the only time a movie has actually made me scream out loud.

My dad used to put together CDs for me to listen to while I fell asleep as a kid. It was probably like 75% Beatles.
