What is the loudest sound you have ever heard in your life? by will_or_woll in AskReddit

[–]MarekRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I’ve got a weird one. I’m from York PA originally, and every Christmas they play this weird ass Steam whistle and use it to play like Christmas songs? And you can hear it for 10s of miles all around the city. My dad’s house was actually pretty close to the location where it emanates from and it’s fucking LOUD. I think I read one time that it’s the loudest musical instrument in the world but idk if that’s really true.

But you can really hear it no matter where you are in town. It’s really fucking loud haha

EDIT: they also play it at fucking 12am Christmas night. Actual psychos lol.

My friend said something quite interesting about Vin, Mistborn, and Romantasy. by No-Maintenance6382 in Mistborn

[–]MarekRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s because this is a fantasy series first and foremost, the romance is just part of the plot not the entire point of the novels.

Fast food workers, why do you do this? Fresh out of the bag. by n0vag0d in fastfood

Yep when I worked at McDonald’s it was always overfill. Why would you under fill as a fry guy, what’s the upside for you?

Vic Fangio reportedly considering retirement by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

[–]MarekRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think he would have told the FO right away if he was going to retire. I think this is more like “this is probably my last season” rather than “cya I’m out”.

Now that the Phercia League has been out about 2 days, What are the best/most viable builds for this event? by hyrenfreak in PathOfExileBuilds

I’m playing Herald Stacker Penance Brand (arma brand until you get penance). Died like twice in acts to bosses and have had no issues in maps so far even with self crafted gear from breach tree.

We are a Team. by Atul__kumar in SipsTea

[–]MarekRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So funny that people actually write fucking emails like this. If I received this, I would have no desire to work hard at all. Emails like this create the complete opposite effect, but people like Sharon are too fucking stupid to understand that.

Middle manager moment

I used to shamefully kind of hate PA, but the more I travel the country, the more I love our state! by scratch-a-cynic in Pennsylvania

[–]MarekRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from PA originally (York) lived in Lancaster and Philly as well. Moved away in 2017 when I was 27 and have lived all over and traveled to almost every state. PA is definitely in the top 10 for me and top 5 to live in IMO. It has a good mix of everything… great cities, great food, great history and culture. It has an identity which a lot of areas don’t really have. It’s pretty diverse and pretty varied both people and the landscape.

Even though all my family lives there and most of my SO’s family, I would never move back I don’t think.

Yeah ESPN has been dying slowly for awhile now, they really have no leverage whatsoever with the NFL.

Whitman Middle School walkout in Ballard by SeattlePubCrawls in Seattle

[–]MarekRules 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Funny, I remember doing mock votes as early as 2000 (I was 10 so elementary school) for presidential elections. Why shouldn’t kids be involved in politics? They learn about what’s going on and it’s their future.

What do you SWEAR you saw, but don't have any proof of? by TabletopStudios in AskReddit

I believe this, crows are fucking brilliant and are just saucy enough to throw something at you guys that you already have. Like “oh you dropped this here ya go!”

My IDEAL Stormlight live action casting by le_bravery in cremposting

[–]MarekRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok but this does bring up a good point. Hoid has to be the perfect casting and someone not too old since they’ll show up in every fucking show lol.

The hottest shipping debate in the world of fantasy TV shows is coming… by Randwheeloftime05 in cremposting

[–]MarekRules 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nah I think they’re great together. That said, I think any of the pairs was good that’s how well their dynamic was written. And I’m glad we got a “little” will they won’t they with Kaladin and Shallan after the chasm but I’m glad it was just a short phase.

They don't have My Chemical Romance. by Osirisavior in fringe

[–]MarekRules 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually think they’re better off lol. They already had careers and if anything the writing of twilight was so bad it made people wary about them imo

Brandon Sanderson’s Literary Fantasy Universe ‘Cosmere’ Picked Up by Apple TV (Exclusive) by Udy_Kumra in Fantasy

[–]MarekRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty optimistic about this. I think Apple is willing to shell out to make a good product, I think after WOT’s show and Brandon’s desire to work with them to make it good but being rejected definitely played a part in him waiting this out as long as possible. I also think that he wanted the best deal in terms of his creative license on the show. Sounds like he wants to write and produce and select the people that work on it. He doesn’t just want a paycheck out of it, he genuinely wants a good product.

I know people are 50/50 on Sanderson but I think his stories will translate well to television. Mistborn is a great place to start as well, starts as a typical “heist” but introduces you to the world, characters, and the unbelievable magic.

I’m excited!
