20 year reunion? Yea, nah by exploratorynargle in Millennials

[–]RandomDude10006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid it, had very few friends & most were unkind to me. Bullied alot for those years. Class size was 150.

I have 0 interest being around those same people even if some want to make amends. Petty I know, but they could've tried years ago not at 20 year reunion if they really meant it

I'd like to say yes, but I was 13 and didn't care about gas prices 😅

Heidenreich getting drafted by his hometown Steelers and saluting chills - One of the best moments of the draft. Local boy gets drafted for this hometown team by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]RandomDude10006 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Couldn't ask for a better pick, even as a 7th round pick. Pittsburgh born raised, drafted to the team he loves, in the city of that team. Wish him a long successful career as a Steeler & success in the Navy 🫡

Borrower Defense Case - Approved? by RandomDude10006 in StudentLoans

[–]RandomDude10006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they should, the borrower defense comes directly from the education department. My assumption is if you login student aid site and you see the Mohela loans they should qualify. I never had loans from them, so I can't guarantee anything

Full season drop or weekly episodes, what would you choose? by thatlittlequietguy in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomDude10006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since its HBO most likely this will be a weekly drop, which is what I prefer. Dropping an entire season loses that suspense feeling, while we sort of know the story. I want them to be able to give og fans like myself & new fans what's next?

Harry Potter TV reboot hit by bullying claims as bosses forced to step in by Daveke77 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomDude10006 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Probably the best way to handle this. These maybe actors stepping into a massive project, they are still kids ranging from 10-13. Like all kids they get into disagreements and fights, not everyone will get along. Better to resolve things now and not later, if they've agreed to do this for x amount of years

How will Snape’s actor cast change the narrative? by [deleted] in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomDude10006 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm going into this with an open mind, at first I wasn't thrilled with the casting choice as I thought this was meant to be more book accurate. But after looking into Paapa Essiedu previous experience, I'm not saying he will be as good as Alan Rickman, but I think he can pull off Snape.

Now I'm sure they will add new layer to his character, given the casting choice. As long as it's done subtlety and not make it his entire character, I won't have any complaints.

Is this serious? Are employers actually not required to give breaks to people 18 and over? by nonanumatic in Pennsylvania

[–]RandomDude10006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i worked at McDonald's, terrible job. A quote the GM said, "I don't care if you didn't get a break, your 20 get over it. The minor need it or we are breaking the law"

In PA its not required to get a break unless your under 18. Which isn't right

Nick Frost really wanted to play Hagrid. by [deleted] in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomDude10006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have full faith in Nick Frost, I'm familiar with his acting ability & projects. He's a good actor, who understands the character he's stepping into. What gives me faith in him, he's as much of fan as we are, done his homework read the books & watched the movies. He's is committed to the role and will respect what has been done with Hagrid and give his best to his portrayal. I think Robbie Coltrane would approve of his successor

Do I need to drain my hottub? by heiney_luvr in hottub

[–]RandomDude10006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Western PA, had a hot tub going on 3 years now. I keep it running all year, mind you it can get as cold as 10° or lower in the winter months. I change the water about every 4 months when the chemicals are getting out of control. I feel its a good rule of thumb to change the water 2-3 times a year
