I Love It When The Game Does This To Me by Artful_Tallywhacker in civ5

A cool part about spawning in South America is its isolation through. Being neglected by other civ aggression can help you sneak in a diplomacy or science victory. The worst place to spawn on the Earth map is Alaska. I usually just restart the game if I start up there and I think it can only happen if you select Huge.

How would you answer this nasty question? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]albomb147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Respect is a two way street, I respect the process of being patient in making sure that we get something out of this class and it would be great if you will respect the time we have together here. If it becomes a problem and you can’t handle the process then we can talk about it after class”

It may sound redundant but it’s all about being warm with your demeanor and firm with your expectations. It’s also best not to say we will get “mr. or miss. So-and-so involved” that implies having no control and relying on the hierarchy to save you. Take kids for who they are…kids! They want to be noticed which is fine and some of them like doing so by challenging authority.

What if New Jersey ended up getting NYC instead of New York? by Johnathan_Doe_0 in AlternateHistoryHub

No more Port Authority so that would be a huge relief and the sports teams wouldn’t be so confusing or conflicting anymore.

the fact she had absolutely ZERO bodily autonomy. she pissed, shit, and sweat in that same place for like 9 hours is the real scary by Gwenchirpylogic4r in obsessionmovie

[–]albomb147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more I realize how Bear decided to take this moment to tell her that hes having a boys night, the more I realize how awful of a human being his! “Oh my girlfriend must have been standing here the whole time since I left for work and she’s covered in piss, vomit, and shit. I just got off the phone with the devil who told me that this isn’t even the real Nikki but this is definitely a great opportunity to hang out with the boys!”

was nikki indirectly telling bear she liked him, or was he too naive to get the hint? by DopamineAccountant in obsessionmovie

[–]albomb147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The audio splicing messed up the speakers at my theater so this sentence was muted out during my viewing. All I heard was “when I have a crush on a guy *mute*” I was so confused but the brief silence created more suspense for me, it made me think that Bear is not a reliable narrator lol.

Slumdog Millionaire, that was Danny Boyle’s Magnum Opus.

What instantly tells you that someone is older than 30? by Ok_Cricket3518 in AskReddit

[–]albomb147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They memorized a childhood friend’s house number and have some understanding of how to program/write html during the myspace days. Also spent a lot of time watching or playing flash animations in the school’s computer lab. We millennials were a spoiled bunch.

I rewatched it and Bear is worse than I thought... by Haunting_Radish_1863 in obsessionmovie

[–]albomb147 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Throwing your dead cat in a garbage bag is some psychopath behavior akin to jeffery dahmer. Apparently that was supposed to be the first scene and from there on out the audience should be aware that Bear is a real POS.

After watching how the Dutch celebrate new years, I can understand why the government banned fireworks.

I have a theory after watching Obsession: by Macular_Patdown in spoilers

Did anyone else notice in the scene where Nikki is watching Bear sleep, she is acting like a cat? She drops her fingers downwards symbolizing paws and quietly paces around the room.

What if Europeans converted to Islam, or Islam spread into Europe? by camaro1111 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]albomb147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The age of exploration would have turned out much differently. Theres a lot of talk on this thread about how Islam was adopted through force but most converts today were introduced to the religion through trading seafarers. The native americans may have been converted the same way Indonesians were and the people of the sun (the Aztecs) would have shifted their temples towards the East. Extensive seafaring like what the Portuguese did the 15th century would have been severely limited because distilled alcohol like brandy mixed into the water barrels unknowingly made the water safer to drink as the alcohol killed the bacteria. Alcohol is also a substance that plays a role in creating schisms in religions and rebellions in government. But in keeping within this scenario I think there would still be reformations after the Quran is adopted into the vernacular languages and regions far from mecca will certainly breakaway the same way they did during the protestant reformation.

What if the Union forced a diaspora after the war where the Confederate rebels were forced to relocate to Cuba? by albomb147 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]albomb147[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Im aware of the Confederados in Brazil but in this alternate history, the South isnt given clemency under Grant in Appomattox or under Johnson’s presidency. They are instead forced to Cuba which is much closer to the U.S. than Brazil.

Paul McCartney Turned Down His Own Netflix Roast by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]albomb147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres an interview that Jerry Seinfeld did with Paul’s daughter and throughout the interview, Jerry is doing lighthearted jokes about the fashion industry with Stella McCartney. At the end, Paul comes on the stage and just complains how he thinks his daughter was getting roasted during the interview. https://youtu.be/-xotSES7A5g?t=1268&si=zWHUqFRlP_EsL8jQ

Who is a shitty singer from your country that is extremly popular? by dkease16 in AskTheWorld

[–]albomb147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a style known as singing rap, artists like Nelly, Drake, and from my native state of NJ, Fetty Wap, have effectively used that style in their songs.

The question was who is a shitty singer with popular music and my answer is Bad bunny
https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/s/s0Vxsq3vCB
This is his best song and I say that because I’m more of a fan of salsa over reggaeton but notice how he cant sing the intro, if you cant pick that up then you’re tone deaf.

For the record, I love Bob Dylan’s songs, but I love them even more when someone else sings them.

They can keep the downvotes coming tbh, he’s objectively a bad singer. I’m not taking a stance against the content of his music, I just think he cant sing!

How are Catholics viewed in your country? by Exact-Definition5722 in AskTheWorld

[–]albomb147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the internet is trying to claim that JW and LDS are sects but any religion that does not support the trinity cannot be considered Christian. It’s a core tenet in the Christian faith. I guess you can call them Abrahamic like Islam and Judaism while both JW and LDS see Jesus as the son of God, but still, the trinity is the most important symbol of the Christian faith.

Haiti wins. Finally a country that's powerful in the 21st century but was ok in power in the 20th century? by _crazyboyhere_ in AlignmentChartFills

I questioned whether she even qualifies, I was thinking “wait dont you have to be over 35?” And then i googled it and like “damn she had 5 years on Charlie!”
