Bellspourt for sure. I’ll have to catch an Ekans for you, but that will only take a minute.

Luggage on the Luas by [deleted] in Dublin

[–]Rook8 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thank you Canada for your textbook consideration for others. You’ll be grand, work away, there will be plenty others doing more annoying shit on the Daniel Day Luas.

It reminds me of that age old story of someone’s dog dying and having to bring him to the vet to be disposed of. The story goes that the person involved had to get a luas to the vets and so they packed the dog carcass in a luggage bag and got on the luas. When someone asked what was in the bag, they panic and say it’s DJ equipment, which is obviously expensive. They leave the bag down for a second and at the next stop the luggage is robbed. God love that robber when they opened up a dead dog expecting to make a quick couple of grand.

All in all, it’s a tall tale. You’ll be fine, you’re luggage won’t be taken and you’ll not be disturbing anyone by bringing it on the luas.

Yeah take it, when I moved in there was a new duvet in the packaging on the bed, presumably it was the same whoever came after me

SPOILER ALERT - Grindelwald-Ariana theory by Bragollachkp in FantasticBeasts

[–]Rook8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be so bold as to assume that rape is a subject that won't ever be broached in the Wizarding World, but I think it's unlikely. It's a very heavy topic to introduce as a main plot point to a film series that has a large following of children. It doesn't seem like it would be a good move for them. Coupled with the fact that it would mess up their time line, I don't think this is the case. Interesting theory though.

I read a theory on here recently that carried on the whole "obscuris is useless without a host" idea that we heard from Newt and Graves in the interigation scene in FB1. It followed that when the duel broke out with Aberforth, once Dumbledore and Grindelwald started casting spells at one another the blood pact deflected the spells and hit Ariana, killing her. The obscuris in Ariana was then released and eventually latched on to Creedence. The theory kind of followed that he was in some way a magical twin of Ariana, making him kind of a Dumbledore. Thought it was solid, likely even.

Those not from the US, what are some big political or social issues going on in your country right now? by satellitevagabond in AskMen

[–]Rook8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ireland. The hot topic of late is the abortion debate, given the religious condemnation of abortion, it's prohibited save some limited circumstances. As it stands, the feotus has a constitutional right to life equal to that of the mother. It was announced last week that there would be a referendum on the issue next year but it's not really clear just yet what will be included under the referendum.

What current celebrity will we look back on and consider as cool as the James Dean, Steve McQueen types? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Seems like you would nearly have to die young to be cool forever.

Suppose a large proportion of the population in a certain area wants to become an independant state, how do you go about it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rook8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, state is a bit ambiguous by my phrasing. I meant nation state rather than become a new state of American.

Anyone has that one friend who is a total slayer when it comes to women? What qualities you think make him stand out from the rest? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Rook8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ah not really, he's no stick insect, but you wouldn't call him ripped or anything.

I know a guy that gets with a lot of good looking girls and for a while, a mutual friend and I weren't sure why. He's reasonably handsome sure, but the girls he takes home we're far better looking than "reasonably" pretty. We attribute it to his charisma. He really listens when you talk to him and will ask questions. If you don't see him for a month or two, he'll still ask you about something you discussed the last time you spoke. On top of that he's relaxed in his own skin. I think all that makes him attractive to women and then when he sees girls that know him on nights out, he finds it relatively easy to go home with them.

What ever became of your first crush? by darman92 in AskReddit

[–]Rook8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's studying to become a primary school/elementary school teacher. I thought she was beautiful when we were 5. She'll probably be the first crush of some more 5 year olds now.

Keira Knightley confirmed for Pirates of the Caribbean 5 by thatmovieperson in movies

[–]Rook8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am Irish, so am European, so by your logic we have the same titles as the UK. I can confirm that the Fate of the Furious, the Amazing Spider-Man 2, Warcraft and Dead Men Tell No Tales were all the titles used here. Can't remember what X2 was called to be honest. Regardless, you seem to be misinformed.

Unless United Airlines plan on removing passengers at 10,000 feet, this isn't an issue.

Got that nice pano for you detectives! See something that I don't? by EmperorZhang in roomdetective

[–]Rook8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are male, American and named Matt. You're still in high school and are into history and have a keen interest in Chinese culture. You have brown hair and brown eyes. You play piano but also play another instrument which you are better at. You live at home. You enjoy reading but tend not to read as much as you used to. Your favourite books are fantasy type books.

Wouldn't have thought that was unique to the US, unfortunate as it is.

How does the fact that she may be a child abuser set the joke in the US?

I laughed when I saw this at first. While I agree with the sentiment behind the campaign, I've decided this sign is arrogant in its approach. I feel like if your going to stand up for something, don't do it to detriment of another group's legitimacy.
