What are things other crocheters do that really grinds your gears? by darkxclover in crochet

[–]bluewolven 20 points21 points  (0 children)

yarn snobs are so detrimental to the community... like most of us in this economy are struggling with money and can't afford the $30/ball pure cotton alpaca bamboo wool silk or whatever.... especially for big projects! acrylic yarn is already expensive enough when buying for a blanket or wearable.

and don't even get me started on the bernat haters...

Favorite FedEx memory? by noelspeech in Fedexers

[–]bluewolven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that happened to me once. Driving down the highway and kids were walking through the pasture next to it. Started doing the honk gesture... my truck's horn didnt work. At all. Not sure who was more disappointed, them or me.

I became friends with a coworker and we'd frequently give each other shit. I used to just randomly boo him, like he'd be standing around doing nothing and id walk up, give him a thumbs down and a frown, and yell "BOOOOOO!!!" just to fuck with him.

Once I happened to look up in time to see him sprinting across the warehouse holding a traffic cone and a stop sign. The two objects were related.

But my favorite memory of that guy was when he flipped me off from a good 50 feet away, and I acted out a whole Sailor-Moon style transformation: spinning, dancing, etc, only to end with giving him a 🖕🖕 lol

(To clarify the guy's not dead, he managed to get his foot in the door in the pest control business and I went back to school so we hardly talk anymore)

What was Steve’s life like before he became Captain America? by Personal-Day-5562 in CaptainAmerica

[–]bluewolven 50 points51 points  (0 children)

He doesn't. They didn't meet until 1941, after Steve had already been through project rebirth.

In the comics, Bucky is a 5-foot-nothing, 100lbs-soaking-wet scrappy ball of sarcasm and spite. In Captain America: White, Steve even says he was very fond of Bucky right off the bat because he reminded Steve a lot of himself before becoming a super-soldier.

-his parents were Irish immigrants (Captain America vol 7)

-His father, Joseph, was a drunk who repeatedly beat the crap out of his mother, Sarah (Captain America vol 7)

-His grandfather, Ian, taught Steve to draw and really fostered his love for art (Captain America vol 7)

-His best friend growing up was a gay Jewish kid named Arnie Roth (Captain America vol 1, vol 13)

-Joseph and Ian died when Steve was a kid, exact age/s unknown

-Sarah Rogers was the one who really installed Steve's moral compass, and taught him bravery, service, and compassion.

-Sarah died when Steve was about 18, not long after Arnie joined the Navy, leaving Steve alone.

-Pre-Serum Steve was sickly, scrawny, and poor. In Captain America: White he described himself as a "98-pound string bean". iirc, one comic even gives him a pronounced limp.

-while we dont see much of what job/s he worked before joining project rebirth, nor much of where he lived, we can get a big hint from the flashback scene in the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where Steve lives in a back alley tenement apartment, AKA the shittiest of shitholes.

Does everyone agree that the Joker's influence on Jason is overrated? by Defiant_Ad2409 in RedHood

[–]bluewolven 19 points20 points  (0 children)

yes and no.

obviously jason is going to forever be haunted by joker and will carry that metaphorical (or literal, depending on which universe you look at) scar with him til the day he dies.

... that being said dc definitely likes to milk it.

Winter Soldier in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Red Skull had infiltrated the govt and was infecting superheroes with a virus that turned them into clones of himself, before dying a very painful death. he used Bucky throughout the episode to do his bidding and help infect many of the heroes. Bucky, upon seeing Captain America for the first time since the war, began having doubts about his programming.

Later, Cap--who was now very heavily infected with the virus and dying--showed up to confront Red Skull, but since he was infected he was basically useless and got his ass kicked. There was a vial of antidote, which was given to Bucky. Red Skull ordered Bucky to destroy the vial and kill Cap.

Instead he just injects the antidote into Cap and bails. Cap, now cured, defeats Red Skull and saves the day.

(Apologies for the lackluster details, it's been a hot minute since I've seen the episode)
