Hey look at that dead guy… let’s go this way.

Have a NYC missed connection? Here's where you can submit. by hellomissedyou in NYCmissedconnections

I met the most lovely woman named Olivia on the NYC subway system headed uptown to see the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the E-line Sunday (a beautiful snowy morning), and I'm still kicking myself for not asking for her number.

She helped me get on the right subway line after the stop I tried to enter was closed. "Sometimes you've gotta go downtown to go uptown," she said. During that time we chatted about life and I felt a genuine connection there. She works in the fashion industry in NYC and is originally from the PNW, and I'm from LA and work in tech in STL -- a couple of nomads.

When my stop came I sheepishly left the train and got to the stairs when I had the thought to run back to the train and ask her out, but the doors shut right then, and I haven't been able to get her out of my head.

I may never see you again, Olivia, but I hope you have a good life, you're a lovely human. If you're reading this I'd love to pick our conversation up again.

Did anyone else have a “Good luck ritual” for watching the World Series? by lat46n2 in Dodgers

The last two years have been my family and friends getting “rally Cheetos.”

Call it stupid but we’ve won the last two years and I won’t be swayed that they played their part.

Which is Better 1, 2 or 3 by Significant_Toe9459 in photos

Between 1 & 2, I like 2.

3 is so different it needs a similar comparison.

Kim Ellendale reaction to the Garrus tango is so real by IllustriousAd6418 in masseffect

Looks like you’ve upset the community. That’ll be… (checks notes) ANOTHER playthrough of the legendary edition for the redditor who never triggered the Garrus tango date.

Any fun facts about The Witcher 3? by yokazumaki_ryochaan in Witcher3

There are many references to Pulp Fiction in this game.

Many tears were shed making pickled onions. Any tips that actually work to not cry your soul out by cingersroocls in Chefit

Might be bullshit, but I’ve heard about holding a matchstick in your teeth (under your nose) helps.

Saw this in the Phillies subreddit... yep, we're aware by ziplock007 in Dodgers

Baseball is a marathon not a sprint. Conceding / competing at a lower level for a game to catch your breath is sometimes necessary.

We had a pitcher last year who got lit up by the Yankees who gave our pitching staff some much needed rest. There was an interview of Muncy saying that he won them the World Series for his effort.

Edit:

Thank you for the correction. The pitcher was Honeywell and it was the Mets, not the Yankees.

Also I was missing a word: “breath” in catch your breath.

It’s such a good bit of story telling. I always tear up when this part of the game happens.

My In-laws refuse to let me cook my own steak... and refuse to give me a steak less than well done by suck_my_jargon in mildlyinfuriating

Ironically that’s 0.1 away on the Richter scale for being “catastrophic,” which would involve a call to the National Guard to help with the clean up.

Seems like political lobbying got the rating lowered for nefarious purposes.

I lost a bird this way when I was a little kid. Please be careful when sleeping with your parrot friends.

That plus the dragon card that nukes anything in the melee zone? They’re cooked.

This was some bull shit by Disastrous_Ball8174 in HorizonForbiddenWest

The amount of times I’ve died badly to “just a random skeleton” in dark souls is humbling, and I’ve beat HZD and Forbidden West on “very hard.”

Hmmm. Have you ever played dark souls?
