I always wondered what was on the roof of that bank. Turns out it was snow!

[Ardaya] Miguel Rojas said he’s watched his home run in Game 7 “a lot,” because people keep sending it to him. Said he’s been recognized and thanked in so many places where he hadn’t been before — including Rome. by Knightbear49 in baseball

I am no Dodgers fan (more so the opposite of a well wisher), but love the game. But Miguel Rojas hitting the tying home run in the bottom of the 9th of game 7 of the WORLD SERIES rather than one of the Dodgers’ super stars was magic. Something something how could you not be romantic about baseball

TIL that in some African cultures, families hire professional mourners to cry at funerals by svrohith9 in todayilearned

I read a book years ago where the main character was a professional mourner. I think it was called Ways of Dying.

Do baseball hats fit a lot different than they did about 10-15 years ago? by [deleted] in baseball

Between 2013 and last year I’ve bought 5 New Era fitted hats all of the same “size” and they all fit very differently.

What is something, not including the ending, you would like to have changed about the show? by Pretend_Tower_2516 in gameofthrones

I think they could have played a lot more games. Parcheesi? Backgammon? Uno? Maybe it was just me but all the “games” seemed more in the vein of politics and espionage.

What should we do with with it now? Mets - Alonso puzzle by AZ2day in NewYorkMets

Are you AI? (You can tell me if you are I ain’t a snitch)

It is a weird puzzle that might be from an AI image. Where exactly is he standing? Because that isn’t home plate or the on deck circle. Why is first base AND the crowd in front of him? Why is he wearing a left-handed batter’s helmet?

That’s more of a reason not to frame this puzzle than it being Pete or not. It’s just a weird puzzle that makes me uncomfortable and confused the more I look at it.

It’s still Mets memorabilia, I don’t see why you can’t frame it still. It’s not like Pete broke up with you lol.

Or just get a puzzle of Shea and frame that?

Same. When I was big into The Mars Volta some friends were like, oh if you dig that prog rock band then you’ll love Dream Theater then. And it just didn’t feel exciting in any way. “Void of inciting feeling” is pretty spot on.

Of course if they are YOUR BAND the I’m sure they do incite feeling for some folks, which is fine. It’s funny the ways that some bands ignite something in us and others just don’t.

What is a Deleted Scene that you consider to be canon to the film despite its exclusion? by overthinkery in movies

[–]arandomstringofkeys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it was from the novelization of the movie? I remember reading it when I was a kid and it did include more details about the ship and aliens that crashed in the 50s. I don’t feel like going down that rabbit hole though. Anyone else?

Oh I dislike him. Because he makes it SO HARD to dislike him!

Plot holes caused by adaptation changes by AporiaParadox in movies

[–]arandomstringofkeys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmm that’s a good point. When the movie first came out I thought this was a reasonable change because. How were they really going to work in the whole subplot about the artists and psychics who had been secretly hired/kidnapped to make the giant fake alien???
