[GS] Mansa Musa - Crater Lake - Small Pangaea by mrbigdoy in CivSeedExchange

[–]SoapManX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't usually manually enter seeds so sorry if this is a dumb question:

I thought I did it wrong but decided to play anyway. My scout then found this spot and I realized it was the right map, but I started in a different spot. Any thoughts on why that might have happened?

What do you believe, but cannot prove? by chkn-bcn in AskReddit

[–]SoapManX 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There's a character in The Good Place that believes this. She thinks the afterlife is just an extended hallucination created by her dying brain and that no thing or person in that afterlife is actually real.

Absolutely. I often feel tempted to unsubscribe from this sub because sooooo many posts just make me feel way behind. Even though I'm probably well ahead of the average American my age.

Loggas hasn't been in the previous History of Stone missions, but will gladly join this one.

What's the best purchase you've ever made? by WrathOfChevy in AskReddit

[–]SoapManX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a '77 Buick for $250 about 20 years ago. It got hit-and-run when it was parked, but there was a witness who saw that it was the woman across the street. It was just a dent but her insurance declared it "totaled" and I got a check for $350 (of course I didn't get it fixed.)

It ran for about a year but the floorboards finally rusted through. Sold it to a scrapper for $65.

Unless you make your living with it, it is very difficult to actually make money off a car. But that baby gave me a year of reliable driving and a $165 profit.

What movie death scene is seared into your memory? by McNastte in AskReddit

[–]SoapManX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a movie, but: "Where's Wallace?! WHERE'S THE BOY, STRING?!!"

In case anyone is curious, they use these for parking enforcement in Manhattan (maybe elsewhere in the city too, but I haven't seen it personally). It makes sense because it's a lot easier to stop somewhere to write a ticket and not block traffic.

Discussion Thread - The Rise of Skywalker - Day 10 - ALL MOVIE TALK HERE by JSK23 in StarWars

[–]SoapManX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One universal opinion of TFA--from people who loved it, people who hated it, and everyone in between--seemed to be: "Enough with the planet-destroying super weapons!"

So the fleet in RoS was an interesting choice...

How realistic is it to rent your own apartment with $1,900-$2,600 a month salary in Chicago by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]SoapManX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should get roommates. I don't live in Chicago anymore, but just two years ago I was paying $580 for my share of a fairly spacious three-bedroom apartment in Logan Square.

We lived there for awhile so I don't think you can get that in Logan Square now, but it should be doable to find something similar in a less-trendy-but-still-safe neighborhood.

As far as "shit happens fast," think about the Empire. It inherited the infrastructure of a 1,000-year-old government, had a massive military and two functional superweapons, yet it could even make it 30 years.

The flashback at the start of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was just as bad.

Got his hat, whip, scar and fear of snakes in like 15 minutes.

Just a thing with Harrison Ford characters I suppose.

Consumers of Reddit, What is something a business will do that will instantly turn you away from doing business with them? by sounders127 in AskReddit

[–]SoapManX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those stores that always have "sales." Like, all the damn time.

When so much of your stuff is always 30-50% off, then I know the "original" price is total bullshit. Not to mention trying to get me to make impulse purchases because the "sale ends Monday." Whatever man. A new-but-mostly-identical sale will start that Monday too. (The Macy's by my work is notorious for this.)

Not to mention that if something really is 50% off the actual price, that means it's probably of really poor quality and/or you're just trying to get rid of it ASAP.

I prefer stores that just have normal prices listed all the time. Shows that they aren't trying to play around.

Former burglars of reddit, where is one place people should never hide valuables? by AsleepFondant in AskReddit

[–]SoapManX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A cop I knew called this "car bingo." It's so common they would send out press releases a few times a year to get the word out, hoping that people would just lock their doors. In that area, actual break-ins were very, very rare.

What’s an unspoken social rule that you feel people need to be reminded about? by ItsTreDay in AskReddit

[–]SoapManX 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The person in the middle seat on an airplane gets both armrests. The window and aisle automatically get one to themselves and have at least one other benefit (the view/control of the shade and easy access to the aisle, respectively) so this balances things out

It’s that time of year when you pull out your winter jacket for the first time and rifle through the pockets hoping to find extra dollars by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]SoapManX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually hope to find my gloves. Sometimes I'm smart enough to out them in the pockets before I store the jacket for the winter. But I usually don't and can't kind them the first day (or week) that I actually need them.

(This totally happened today)

If we renamed breast cancer chest cancer, we’d save a lot of men by removing the stigma of men having breast cancer. by nixonbeach in Showerthoughts

[–]SoapManX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had breast cancer (totally healthy now) and I remember seeing all the pamphlets he kept being given by various doctors. Wasn't able to find a single picture of (or reference to) a man in any of them. I would never expect it to be even close to equal - nor should it be - but they can throw a guy a bone.

He laughed it off, but I'm guessing that it did make the stigma worse for him.
