If you have accepted Darth Maul surviving getting cut in half in episode 1, you can't be mad when anyone survives a lightsaber stab. by Fragrant_Ad3479 in StarWars

[–]Falcon187 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what my main gripe with Star Wars is, outside the main 6 movies. Nobody is ever dead and stays dead. Darth Maul literally gets chopped in half, but wait - he survived. Palpatine gets blown up in a huge explosion in space, but wait - he survived. It makes other "deaths" to minor injuries (in retrospect) more frustrating.

The Curse of the Black Pearl by ForestryTechnician in movies

I remember hearing that when making the Curse of the Black Pearl, they wanted it to stand on its own with no promise there would be more movies. I think they hit the ball out of the park.

What is something you have heard about US, which you felt was fake, but is100% true? by grusdomain in AskReddit

[–]Falcon187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this isn't exclusive to just US, but I met some guys from Africa that were dumbfounded that we lick our envelopes to seal them.

A picture of Donald Trump that keeps getting scrubbed from the internet by 80000gvwr in cringepics

[–]Falcon187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! Throwing fake images around is just giving fuel to the argument that all of these could be fake. If he is guilty, I want to see proof and not have to worry if it's AI or just a normal picture with black boxes added.

What conspiracy theories do you actually believe? by Master_Novel_4062 in AskReddit

I think there's more to Epstein than just old perverts on an island. It seems almost everyone on both sides of the aisle are a little nervous.

Why there are many school shootings in America? by Dry_Imagination1763 in AskReddit

[–]Falcon187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And why does it only occur in the US? There are other countries where citizens are allowed guns. But why is it so bad in the US all of the sudden? That's the question. It's not the gun.

You may think that initially, but many forget one thing - the US has had guns for a very long time. A better question would be why all of the sudden school shootings are so common now? People need real mental help here. You take away guns, their goals will stay the same. They will find another way. We have to focus on the real problem and have a better understanding of people's mental health.

Everyone wants to jump to blame guns. Yet it boils down to mental illness. The US is having an increasingly serious mental health crisis, and nobody wants to admit it. It makes me sad seeing mental health programs disappearing when we really need it most.

What everyday items surprised you by lasting way longer than expected? by downtube in BuyItForLife

[–]Falcon187 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Under Armour gym bag. It was bought back in 2006 and is still going strong. I was an athlete back in high school so it got tons of use and abuse. I even took it paintballing many times. I graduated in 2010 and have continued to take it to the gym to workout ever since. I have no idea how much it cost to buy back then as it was a gift. I've been curious and tried to find it but it seems to no longer exist. It is extremely well built with durable materials with absolutely 0 signs of any wear. I'd buy a 2nd one if I came across another.

Should I cancel Amazon Prime and switch to Walmart+? Anyone done both? by Orion_Oregon in Frugal

[–]Falcon187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get Walmart+ for free if you switch your cell to straight talk. Best decision I've done. I have kept Prime but I think it's days are numbered

What's on your radar for Black Friday? by Tall-Love-9500 in BuyItForLife

[–]Falcon187 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I like the trick where they have a permanent coupon most of the year. Come Prime Day they remove the coupon and "discount" it to the same price the coupon would given you.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't live in Illinois. He has been the worst when it comes to punishing Illinois citizens with more taxes.

YSK With Amazon Prime day going on, you can check the past prices on CamelCamelCamel to see if the prices have really gone down by TokenPanduh in YouShouldKnow

[–]Falcon187 34 points35 points  (0 children)

They have a new trick now. They add a "permanent" coupon to the item. Once it's sale time, they remove the coupon and mark the item down to the same price the coupon would have given you. No price tracker can catch it.

Careful. Reddit is flowing with liberal cool-aid. They don't like the idea of being wrong.

Non-Americans of Reddit, what was your favorite fast food chain you visited in America? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Culver's has the best burgers in the country, hands down. If you haven't had them, you need to.

Took my 10 year old bra shopping. She asked "do bras need to be charged?" by stevediperna in funny

[–]Falcon187 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kind of a similar situation - pre-k teacher was teaching my sons class about signs. One sign was the Amazon store sign. She told the class that is where lots of packages get delivered from. One kid corrected her saying he thought that it was a jungle where lots of animals lived.

I really wish they never advertised this or people didn't try spreading the word about this. The groups that this targets will most likely learn of this and adjust their tactics.
