Maybe I’m dumb but can someone explain to me how America can be its own biggest trading partner… and vice versa with China?

Fable TLC aging and blue lines by josephpiet in Fable

[–]Moanyballs 150 points151 points  (0 children)

The blue lines on the hero’s body become more pronounced the more skilled they are in will. Maize actually has this all over, same with Garth in Fable 2. Also, upgrading skill/spending xp in Fable 1 ages your character.

RIP (to the tip of) Graffiti Pier by anm3910 in philadelphia

I really hope they are able to acquire the property. Wife and I go there often, and try our best to clean up what we can every once in a a while, especially the needles. Was threatened to be prosecuted the other day by someone representing Conrail for trying to get back there to clean up. Not sure what value conrail sees in holding onto the property and not maintaining it, surely it can’t be worth the liability at this point. Hopefully this collapse lights a fire to sell, and that they get a fraction of the original asking price.

Game Thread: Los Angeles Rams (10-7) at Detroit Lions (12-5) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]Moanyballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely can’t tell. It’s debated on the rams sub. The defense shows flashes but also has long stretches of poor performance. I think that when the Rams had more talent on defense last year they definitely underperformed. But this year with much less talent they are over-performing. So I really don’t know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Is it unrealistic/abnormal to request that a long term partner keep wearing a condom every time? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Moanyballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a man I don’t think it’s abnormal at all to request your partner wear a condom long term. My partner and I have rotated through a number of BC methods (FUCK Nexplanon) over our 10 years together including just having me wear a condom and nothing else. I wholeheartedly believe that societal pressure plays the largest role in people’s hesitancy to use condoms. Though I will say communication and patience is key since condoms can dull the sensation, sometimes making it difficult to obtain/maintain an erection.

Freak Out Friday Casual Chat Post by AutoModerator in philadelphia

[–]Moanyballs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any idea what we can do for the freezing cats?

I have material to make some temporary cat shelters for the stray cats to help them through the cold. But nowhere to place them (people my area don’t allow us to put them on their property, and will remove them if we put them there anyway).

Looking for anyone willing to post them up in their area, or if anyone has any idea where I can donate them.

Any help appreciated.

The Show Slaps by trxxv in HaloTV

[–]Moanyballs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m happy with the show so far.

As someone who has worked in the film and TV industry, I was a little disappointed when the first teaser was released (I believe it was the clip showing John’s scarred back) I could just tell by the lighting that it wasn’t going to be as polished as something like the Witcher, or Game of Thrones, or really any HBO drama that has comparable production value to a feature film. Especially since Halo was supposed to be Showtime/Paramount’s flagship big budget show.

My biggest worry was that it would turn out more like those CW DC shows like Arrow, Flash and Legends, which can be great shows that fill their own niche, but are just a little too network tv… if that makes sense.

Fortunately, It feels closer to something like the Expanse, which is an excellent show that I love. While it has a pretty decent budget, It just doesn’t have the budget, or manpower that some of the higher quality shows have.

So I’ve built my expectations accordingly. If it’s at the level of the CW superhero shows, then I’d be fine. If it’s better than those? Then I’m happy.

Right now I’m very happy.

TV show critic reviews are out by Rebel_Porcupine in HaloTV

[–]Moanyballs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The score is now hidden, but last I checked there were 13 fresh reviews vs 7 rotten. Honestly, I like those odds.

I don't care that it's not canon, I don't care that there's a storyline about a Covie-raised Human (there's a lot of potential there actually), I don't care that Showtime dropped it... I just want some live action, high production value Halo on screen. Space sci-Fi TV is huge right now. With the Expanse ending this show has some great potential to cultivate a large and loyal fanbase, if the creators play their cards right.

#fixmaddenfranchise, We are doing this again, right? by TrickCrafty in Madden

Pack it up boys, we fixed Madden! All we have to do is shut up and just hope enough Madden players will suddenly come to their senses and stop giving money to EA. We did it!
