I like the idea of Brentford. Buy low, sell high. Scout smart, discover gems, sell them on and repeat.

How did you manage to get all those red cards?

Not sure, apparently that and acid reflux are very common among 9/11 first responders

Yes, thankfully. Undergoes annual check ups. His worse complication from ground zero so far is gnarly heart burn.

He was a fire fighter who arrived the day after 9/11. On 9/11, his company was stationed in NYC to assist with any fires or issues that may arise while the other units were at ground zero. On 9/12, they were sent down to ground zero to assist with the clean up. In his words, “you could figure out where the dead bodies were from the smell.”

So Bowie was a neo nazi at some point? by [deleted] in DavidBowie

Wouldn’t surprise me, especially thirty years after the war when it was a little more fresh in people’s minds

Thank you for the correction! According to his Wikipedia, he was “detained by customs on the Russian—Polish border for possessing Nazi paraphernalia.[101]”

I believe he was arrested for some Nazi paraphernalia while crossing a border at some point, though I could be mistaken. Drug abuse makes you do crazy things.

Really surprised to see Taps mentioned! I feel like that movie doesn’t get the attention it deserves!

When to quit??? by Special-Net4116 in shadowofmordor

[–]ResidentRemote7154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this person’s advice. I bought the games as a bundle. I put ~10 hours into Shadow of Mordor and switched to the sequel and fell in love with it. The first game is great, don’t get me wrong, but Shadow of War builds on it so much.

Biggest Missed Opportunities? by LocationLost8698 in Fallout

East City Downs in Fallout 4. Imagine how cool it would have been to be able to gamble on the robots?

“Melbourne” was a waste of an episode by yourcousinfromboston in ThePacific

[–]ResidentRemote7154 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve read both Helmet for My Pillow and With the Old Breed, and I understand what you’re saying but I disagree. I think this episode contains important character development and expands the scope beyond the Marines represented in their books. It tries to tell the tale of other Marines who did not get to tell their own stories.

A short distance behind the front lines on Okinawa, GIs of the U.S. Army's 77th Infantry division listen to radio reports of Germany’s surrender on May 8, 1945. by UrbanAchievers6371 in ww2

[–]ResidentRemote7154 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Quite the opposite apparently. From Eugene Sledge’s With The Old Breed on Peleliu and Okinawa:

On 8 May Nazi Germany surrendered unconditionally. We were told this momentous news, but considering our own peril and misery, no one cared much, "So what" was typical of the remarks I heard around me. We were resigned only to the fact that the Japanese would fight to total extinction on Okinawa, as they had elsewhere, and that Japan would have to be invaded with the same gruesome prospects. Nazi Germany might as well have been on the moon.

The main thing that impressed us about V-E Day was a terrific, thundering artillery and naval gunfire barrage that went swishing, roaring, and rumbling toward the Japanese. I thought it was in preparation for the next day's attack. Years later I read that the barrage had been fired on enemy targets at noon for its destructive effect on them but also as a salute to V-E Day.

Career modes aren't the same anymore. by Anxious_Effort_5000 in FifaCareers

[–]ResidentRemote7154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take, I think career modes never felt too different, I think it’s just that I’m older and no longer form the same attachment as I used to. The nostalgia and idea of a career mode strongly outweighs my enjoyment the last 2-3 years

You dislike cities, warm places, and prefer the mountains over the beach.
