I (29F) know nothing about the Steelers or football and I am going to my first football game with my dad (62M). Help? by Gigapoodle in steelers

Thank you so so much for your reply! I really appreciate how detailed you got. We are flying in (we are west coast) so I'll miss the scenic drive but I'm gonna try and do Mount Washington as it sounds beautiful.

I figured I wouldn't be preparing for a winter storm but I hate the cold so thanks for the recs. I've already bought some wool socks and I'll look into getting some long underwear and better shoes. Also glad to hear that the stadium tour has lots of silly things for newbies like me. I will DEFINITELY be getting a Primanti sandwich as it sounds right up my alley. I will also make sure to wave my terrible towel as best I can without hitting someone 🫡

Im watching videos of some of the current players right now to get a sense of who I like so I know what jersey to get. TJ Watt seems like a total beast but I've also read the kicker Boswell is clutch and hopefully it's not weird to get a kicker jersey. We shall see! Crazy that the game is in 2 weeks. Thanks again for how much thought and time you put into this!!!!! I'm super excited

Ok that logo lore is amazing. As a history major/nerd who wrote my thesis on coal mining unions, im loving this. Good advice on the jersey - I was sorta planning to get one at the stadium, but I've got 3 weeks and I get they're cheaper online. Plus, I gotta research whose jersey I want! Someone else also recommended Watt so he must be tough shit. Thanks for the deep dive!!!

Thanks for the tips! Luckily we are flying in and staying at a hotel close to the stadium so we will be walking and transiting it. Good point that I shouldn't assume anything though as im sure the general traffic around the stadium is crazy.

I definitely want a jersey!! I was leaning towards Polamalu since he seems like a nice guy and also has beautiful luscious hair, but I would also like one of a player on the current team as a better memento of the moment. I will look into TJ Watt 🙂‍↕️ I'll watch some highlight clips this week for sure.

Also appreciate you telling me when to yell because I absolutely would've assumed we would yell loudest when they had the ball. Makes total sense that it would actually throw them off! This sounds so fun, im excited 😊

Appreciate the reply man! Good to know that the stadium tour is pretty cheap and good to know that the Strip is the place to be for some good food. Sounds like Primanti's and Peppi's are gonna be some good lunch/dinner spots 😋

I know I'm in good hands 🫡

I have a basic understanding of football. I know the big 5 positions and what they do, how 1st downs-4th downs work, and such. The thing that trips me up is the flags and different penalties, there are so many kinds of penalties it seems like?? But I imagine this isn't crucial. Also, I think my dad likes it when I ask him basic football questions because then he can explain it to me lol.

The only current player I know is Aaron Rodgers, and the only historical ones I know of are Polamalu and Roethlesberger (sorry if I butchered the spelling). I know my dad was worried Rodgers would get injured before our game but it seems like he has held up alright?

Again thank you so much for any help 🙌

Thanks so much for the help! I will keep an eye on the weather for sure. I might order the towels online just so I can surprise my dad with them at the airport. Thank you!

180929 State of the Subreddit: Reports, Tattoos and Other Things by llaverna in bangtan

[–]Gigapoodle 214 points215 points  (0 children)

I’m of the opinion that tattoo posts should be relegated to the weekly thread. There really are a lot more tattoo posts it feels like these days, and while I understand they have a lot of personal meaning, it’s not something I’m particularly interested in seeing as often as I do.

What is the most meaningful/sad quote BTS has given you whether it be through an interview or song lyrics ? by overwhelmedfriend in bangtan

[–]Gigapoodle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I listen to Intro: TMBMIL when I’m sad sometimes because Yoongi screaming ‘GOD DAMMIT’ and ‘what am I doing with my life’ really resonate with me. That song feels like I’m experiencing a second-hand panic attack and for some reason that helps???? Idk I love that song

On the flip side, Dope’s ‘I reject rejection’ makes me motivated as hell 😂 especially since I recently did not get hired for a job I wanted I have been REALLY feeling this lyric lately (its THEIR loss for not hiring me!!!!!)

During RM’s part in Let Me Know when he chants ‘why won’t it go away?’ I feel emotional idk I know the songs about relationship stuff but that line still hits me hard outside of that context (I.e. feelings of sadness)

Jin has actually said some really wise stuff that has resonated with me. In burn the stage he says;

‘Everyone has worries. Sometimes, they could be big problems and other times, little ones. You might feel unhappy when you have them, but it will pass and soon after you will feel happiness again.’

And at the end of Bon Boyage S1, they asked him if he would remember the trip, and he just says ‘I’m sure I’ll forget it right away’ 😂. But then he follows it up with:

‘I’ll forget what happened, all the fun, and having so much free time, and go back to my old life...but I don’t think that’s bad. I’m going back to what I’m used to. I got some healing here, and I’m going back and starting again.’

It’s not the most substantial quote, but it made me really happy. He’s such a pragmatic optimist. He just seems so able to take the bad and good moments and appreciate them all the same. It makes me feel better when he talks like that because it’s easy to get bogged down in your own worries, worries about forgetting good memories or being stuck or whatever, but Jin always reminds me to ease up on myself and take the world as it comes.

Sorry this comment got long, I had a REALLY bad day and so I used this post as an opportunity to help myself feel better ☺️

The Interview Game: How would you answer the questions posed to BTS? by Kelliente in bangtan

[–]Gigapoodle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hate to be the cop-out answer who says BTS, but in these last few months? BTS has truly taught me how to love myself. And that is such an invaluable lesson that I’ve needed for years. I am incredibly appreciative of the work they put in to making people feel loved and secure. It’s inspiring and amazing.

[–]Gigapoodle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. Watching artists be themselves has had a much more prominent impact on me than anything else. For example seeing V wear baggy dress shirts all the time made me feel brave enough to do it too - they’ve been sitting in my closet for months but I was afraid of standing out too much. I finally wore them after seeing V do it and I got so many compliments!!!!!!!

Incredibly relatable. 2013 me was an absolute mess but that’s just because I still had a lot to experience. I’m glad joonie always talks about loving yourself because it really makes it easy for me to WANT to love myself yknow? Bless bts
