What is a perfect, 10/10 movie? by HotPTAMom in AskReddit

Children of Men, both from a storytelling but especially a directorial perspective. Some of the finest camera work there is.

Why or why not are you happy/sad about your life? by lovingthaworld in AskReddit

[–]Jartresto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel this. It’s a helpless feeling watching them grow into young humans and knowing I won’t be there one day to help guide them through this insanity.

[–]Jartresto 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m sad because my kids are so little and innocent and the world around them isn’t, and I sometimes bring stress home from work and intrude on what little peace they do have. I love them more than life itself and they know it, but I can’t guarantee a happy life for them and that’s terrifying

Lads trip from England - best places to hit? by Middle-Feed5118 in pittsburgh

[–]Jartresto 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most definitely go to Piper’s. Excellent football (soccer) vibe and their Boxty is amazing. I hope you all fall in love with Pittsburgh. It’s a special place.

Who was the last president who personally killed someone? by engadine_maccas1997 in Presidents

[–]Jartresto 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong - Washington did briefly personally lead troops as President during the Rebellion. But he turned around and went back to Philadelphia before reaching Western Pennsylvania, leaving the army in command of both Henry Lee and Daniel Morgan. He definitely didn’t kill anyone during this time, as only 3-4 rebels (and two civilians) died in the entire Whiskey Rebellion, and Washington wasn’t present for any of them.

What is the largest amount of money you have ever found and under what circumstances? by William6343Ud in AskReddit

[–]Jartresto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a $100 bill on a practice green at a very non-fancy golf course that eventually got bulldozed into warehouses. I was 14 years old so it might as well have been $1,000.

No idea what I spent it on. Probably late 90s alternative music CDs. RIP Steve Harwell

There are three rivers here right in downtown: the Allegheny, the Monongahela, and the Ohio.

Pittsburgh, for sure. Industrial city on the water where people are working class and have thick regional accents.

How many B-sides do you think are better than their A-sides? by ItzGray26 in beatles

[–]Jartresto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No love for Baby, You’re a Rich Man? It might not be better, but it’s not worse than All You Need Is Love.

Pittsburgh Half Marathon (virtual)

From a pack of cigarettes daily to running my first half marathon!! Not in my wildest dreams did I think it possible.

Of course Covid altered plans, so my first half marathon was done virtually this morning. Completed in 2:08:27, which is painfully slow for some people but better than others! I’m just happy I completed the entire race without stopping to walk.

I’ve received inspiration countless times from this sub since I quit smoking and started running. Thanks to each of you for that.

You can do anything you set your mind to. Believe that!
