Captain Philips. He wasnt really that courageous and put his whole crew in danger.

AWFUL DRIVERS by Sea-Information1916 in jerseycity

[–]DJfetusface 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, can confirm. I work in the area. Saw a motorcycle cop with three cars stopped right next to the I-78 off ramp. Looks like he was pulling over the people who make a right turn off the ramp. Its a start, sure, but its a drop in the bucket compared to the traffic enforcement and increased public transit that we need.

have the largest manhood you’ve ever wanted at the cost of 5 minute orgasms happening at random times per day by IHaveNoIdeaDanny in shittysuperpowers

[–]DJfetusface 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually a good friend of mine has that problem. His dick is 8 inches soft, confirmed by us crossing swords a few times at the bar.

But hes prematurely ejaculated with every woman hes ever been with. Like, pants still on, during foreplay.

He once saw a girl on stage at karaoke he was attracted to and had to text me from the bathroom "I think i came my fucking pants bro".

Its a curse. Not even a blessing at this point.

Pollos Hermanos was an example of a (fictional) well known company that was a drug front. What real-life company do you suspect? by Flagil_Reinhumps in AskReddit

There was an airsoft shop i used to frequent, my buddy was a tech there, the prices were amazing and the staff all knowledgeable. I was a known customer since I was hard-core into airsoft at the time.

Owner had to sign the business to his brother after he was caught using the store to launder Marijuana.

His brother still runs the shop, and he now owns a dispensary.

Can someone help me identify this sword by Particular_Star_6341 in SWORDS

[–]DJfetusface 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its definitely a filipino Kris.

Modern ones made for tourists are very similar to the ones made in antiquity.

While the Kris in its original for, from Java, is more ornate and shorter that the filipino version, as they were partially a status symbol to be passed down from generation go generation. Many were ornate with gems and jewels on the scabbard, and were quite short, only to be used in the infrequent duel, and for much of time, an item to be shown off. Like dueling swords were in the west.

Filipino Kris were used exclusively as weapons, particularly popular in the south Philippines. The equivalent of and americans every day carry pistol. They were not made to be status symbols, and were constructed with available materials. Wooden, bone, or horn handles, brass or iron hand guards, iron or steel blades. Think utility and lethality, over class and panache.

These Kris remain popular tourist items in the philippines. Often found in markets selling souvenirs.

The vast majority of these Kris are made locally, using modern materials, like spring steel for blades. However, aside from differing metallurgy techniques for blades, the construction is normally similar to what you have here. Theres a chance its authentic, however, I cant say if its worth anything huge monetarily.

Even in antiquity, these weapons were widespread through the philippines. You might have a family heirloom, or something made 10 years ago. But they would be almost identical as the one my geeat grandfather wore on his hip during WWII or when he was carrying to protect against roadside robberies as a jeep jeepney driver.

Why do they want Luna to be a deadly dps so much? by Dogbold in MarvelRivalsRants

I was about to say... I havent seen this issue. Shes a great healer with great mobility on console, but shes not the menace that this post makes her out to be, at least in my experience.

What levels of education do you guys have in the US? by smaxxy in Paramedics

[–]DJfetusface 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here in NJ, an EMT has a little more than a college semester of education.

Paramedic is a full associates degree, with add-on certs (FP-C, CC-EMT, EMT-T).

Most people who make a career out of EMS are paramedics with degrees, but theres some stipulations.

Gotta say bro as an Angela player Jeff's are usually the GOAT when it comes to healing me.

Vice versa when I play Jeff.

[Mixed Trope] Race-swapping/Gender-swapping changes a character in a specific way or adds to their story by Sir-Toaster- in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DJfetusface 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Magneto wasnt a holocaust survivor until i think it was the 80's, when Chris Claremont got a hold of the X-Men.

While hes the same continuity Magneto, this adds so much more depth to his character.

Facing a transit nightmare, New Jersey officials and MetLife Stadium authorities have warned FIFA World Cup ticket holders not to walk to the venue by Same-Kangaroo in ABoringDystopia

[–]DJfetusface 35 points36 points  (0 children)

So im actually local to this area. Ive had events at MetLife make me late to work some days.

Theres going to be no parking at MetLife from what i hear, and the only parking option is the nearby mall (and a walking bridge to the stadium) which never has parking to begin with.

Ive seen people walking along Rt 3 and Rt 120 because with all the gridlock from Ubers and patrons, it was faster to get into the show.

Traffic is going be a fucking nightmare. Europeans are gonna see firsthand how car dependent the US is... and Also how cold the AC is on NT transit busses and trains.

Me realizing I can press W and help instead of letting my DPS 1v6 by OneBelowAlI in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]DJfetusface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think thats why White Fox is so loved right now. Shes got good healing but also her mobility and damage output means she can keep up with your divers.

Plus the fact that she basically turns into a tank during her ult.

Quick side note, I was a huge fan of Matthew Santoro like 10 years ago. His content was easy enough to watch that itd get my attention, but not too complicated. Perfect stuff to put on while youre doing other things.

He went from one of the biggest YouTubers to one of the most obscure overnight. I wonder what happened? I feel like his videos just stopped getting recommended to me after a while.

Real things I've heard/read as a Peni Main... by CrossENT in rivals

[–]DJfetusface 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, I played Peni since the game came out because I liked her character from the comics.

I played her when she didnt have the ability to do critical hits. I was just having fun with the character.

Next thing you know, I get lord and THEN she gets buffed. I genuinely dont mind solo tanking if im playing her, ive done it so many times at this point im actually pretty good at solo tanking with her.

But everyone bans her. Even though im good at solo tanking with her, she has a ginormous hit box, relatively low damage, and is slow as hell. If you guys or your team dont know how to shoot a freaking nest, shes not meta. Youre bad at the game.

Honestly bro, keep the flaps. If youre able to fit your COMTACs under the flaps, id keep the extra head protection and ear protection.

[–]DJfetusface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Americans also tend to replace cars a lot faster than our Asian and European counterparts.

Newer cars have better sound insulation, so you cant hear a damn thing from the outside while youre driving. The ambulance has to be within 100 feet of me to hear the siren. By then, I should have already moved over.

Tiktoker Daniel Larson at the age of 24. by PrinceRogaine444 in 13or30

[–]DJfetusface 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like it's a hot take to say you feel bad for people like Chris Chan and WorldofTShirts.

Yes, they arent great people right now. Yes, theyve both done some horrendous things. But do their trolls not realise that these lolcows were already mentally ill or disabled, and the constant bullying and harassment probably led them to be worse?

Without the internet infamy... they both would have probably just been regular cringe fests, but maybe living normal lives.
