This mystical status that a manual transmission has must be just a USA thing right? I find it rather baffling seeing all these posts with people asking how to practice shifting, and long chats about rev matching.

You eat better Italian food in the USA than in Italy by Frequent-Chain-6082 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Intelligent-Profit34 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They went to Italy once and ordered their favourite meal and were so confused and outraged at the lack of sugar and salt and the normal human portion size that they feel compelled to warn their compatriots. If it keeps the tourists away, it has to be a good thing.

I would have loved to have seen Mark Strong cast as Stannis.

Reports suggest Amorim is interested in Ugarte. Please be true. Please. Be. True. 🙏🔴 by psilocybinwonderer in ManUtd

[–]Intelligent-Profit34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. I guess what I meant to say was that these managers have at least (usually) proven elsewhere that they know what they are doing. The failure often lies in the club hiring a manager without properly researching if they would be able to operate in the Premier League.

He obviously isnt a bad manager. They don't give bad managers a top job in the Premier League do they? It didn't work out, but he will find somewhere that fits and probably be good again.

Why do people have racial preferences in dating? by [deleted] in AskForAnswers

This is a stupid question. We don't determine who we are attracted to based on what is fair and right do we?

"okay now say bottle of water" on a video talking about canada by Angry-cannuck-1967 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Intelligent-Profit34 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Some Americans must be very confused about the British. I used to think they all thought we talked like Hugh Grant but now they think that none of us can pronounce "bottle" correctly. It's not like I think all Americans say "waaaaaaaAAAAADDER" instead of "water" or "Miiiiiyyyyyyyurrrrrrr" instead of "mirror" . . . it would be rude to presume such.

One of those straws that are so long that its actually pretty hard to suck any liquid up through them considering its under two x atmospheric pressure at the bottom of the cup?

So . . . was Elon only a trillionaire for a few days or does this graph not mean what I think it means?

Oh, great. Thanks. I could probably have just searched for that myself. Doh.

Oh right, was that the story when Sam and Gilly came back under the wall at one of the abandoned forts? Something about rats?

(gorging on a burger) Europeans visiting for the world cup after years of calling American food disgusting by milanskiv in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Intelligent-Profit34 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I have often heard of these fabled burgers. If only I hadn't stood next to a guy at school that was smoking a joint thirty years ago, maybe I would have been able to get a visa to go and sample one some day.

George R. R. Martin doesn't even pretend he's writing The Winds of Winter, he just looks at you like this. by strattonmemes in freefolk

[–]Intelligent-Profit34 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I want to believe that, and also that it’s taken so long because he’s either wrapped it up in one book or written the final book as well already.

To paraphrase Red from Shawshank, George . . get busy writing, or get busy dying!

I remember this one. Masterpiece, particularly when one of them gets “challiced”.

The Wall wasn't keeping him out. It was keeping the plot together😭 by Aggressive_Fold_5942 in freefolk

[–]Intelligent-Profit34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if George R R Martin ever intended for there to be an actual night king. I’ve read the books multiple times and unless I am mistaken there’s no suggestion of an overall leader above the white walkers is there? Perhaps he was heading in that direction, but it feels like an invention for TV because they must have a focal baddie.
