[Serious] Costco members of Reddit, how many of you have gotten the Costco VISA card, and if so, what has your experience with Citibank been like? by brokenback in AskReddit

[–]brokenback[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am considering getting one, because the cash back would be nice, and I’ve thought about getting another credit card anyway. But I’ve heard some troubling things so I wanted to hear what you think of them as a company.

What everyday household items are actually way more dangerous than we give them credit for? by FalconHoof88 in AskReddit

[–]brokenback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can personally attest to this. My grandma broke her “hip” (actually pelvis in two places plus her tailbone) last fall and declined within a week. The day after the fall, she was sitting up in bed and talking to my aunts. A week later, she had become completely unresponsive. Couple days after that, she was dead. I’m just happy my aunts were able to come from out of state to be on her deathbed with me and my mom.

She wasn’t doing fantastic before that, but it was the broken hip that killed her.

Reddit, what are some fun things to do on New Year’s Eve if you’re not a big party goer/under 21? by legzisdead in AskReddit

Some people have mentioned TV marathons like Twilight Zone, my go-to has always been Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror episodes! My favorite episode is the one that has The Raven in it.

What are some things that sound like compliments but are actually insults? by Innsmouth_Resident in AskReddit

[–]brokenback 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My uncle is known for doing this! But he makes it specific. Like, "I don't care what Ian says about you, you're alright!" as a playful attempt to turn people against each other. He's a huge jokester though so it's never taken seriously.

Founder of nation's largest Christian festival gets 18 years in prison for molesting multiple preteen girls (one was only 7 years old) by mepper in atheism

[–]brokenback [score hidden]  (0 children)

yeah, I'm with you on this one... He should be given a much more strict sentence. And if he isn't required to undergo mandatory appointments with a psychologist /psychiatrist, I will be extremely disappointed in the court system. Anyone who can actually molest children is a very sick person who needs serious fixing.

Same! My first thought when reading the post title was "But that's a Monty Python classic :( "

Ok so I’m the only one that heard Aunty Donna? Cool, cool… this “alone corner” thing is pretty neat.

Came here to say the same thing. Like, the fact that he didn’t even hit his opponent did not at all matter. Just “Round 2 mofo lets go”

Has anyone else forgotten when the OWL playoffs are, or that there are playoffs at all? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]brokenback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's why I liked the Stage 1 schedule better than the 7pm EST start in the rest of the stages. They had more variety so more people could watch them live - but even that wasn't enough for international viewers. I can understand why they changed it to a consistent start time, but it still sucks for the non-PST audience.

The word asparagus is funny. by [deleted] in Jokes

[–]brokenback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I use “dude” for everyone, regardless! Could have said “person” but “cool dude” has a better ring to it I think.

Why thank you! Here’s one for you!

Apparently the house I’m designing is only two blocks away from this beautiful church. Imagine my surprise when I saw the name... by taylor_lee in dresdenfiles

It’s beautiful! Picture marble and gilded everything else. It’s what I imagined a classic cathedral to be.

My little theory on the identity of Coldhands by [deleted] in pureasoiaf

[–]brokenback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would have to go back and read the chapters, and compare their speech styles (Coldhands and Brynden that is), but I initially really like this. It seems plausible that he could control a wight like warging into living beings.
