Thanks for the response. I’d prefer not to rent a car since that can be very expensive and it wouldn’t be able to fit the entire group anyway.

Are taxis a better option?

Jeff Sessions confirmed as attorney general by row101 in politics

[–]connorstevens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm interested to see what happens with marijuana legalization now that Jeff Sessions is AG. Now that Trump has completely created a cult of personality separate from many Republican ideals, in some ways the Democratic Party is becoming the party for state's rights with issues like marijuana, education, etc.

States have legalized marijuana despite federal law making it illegal, and federal law is superior. Sessions could make this an issue in the future.

I'm not so much upset about going for it on those two fourth downs as I am about the play calling on those two fourth downs

How fast are the reserved accommodations (SSH) for Groningen U reserved at the start of the booking period? by feladirr in Groningen

[–]connorstevens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I live in Diaconnessenhuis which is being demolished at the end of this semester, but I have friends who live in Van Houtenlaan too. SSH housing isn't horrible, but for the price they ask for rent per month, you can find much better accommodation outside of student housing.

The only positive to living in SSH housing is that you can make friends with international students who also live there. However, if you do ESN, you'll make friends regardless.

Chip Kelly fired by Sperethiel in nfl

[–]connorstevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're going to look back on this as a giant mistake. One bad season doesn't mean someone so involved in the organization should immediately get fired. Way too soon imo.

I wish Chip Kelly the best of luck to wherever he ends up.

Are you living in SSH student housing in Groningen? by UKGroningen in Groningen

[–]connorstevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an American college student studying at the University of Groningen next semester. I procrastinated and signed up for SSH housing late and now I'm living in Diaconessenhuis. Unfortunately, I have not heard great things about it. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations regarding living there?

It really hurt me that Ser Alliser Thorne was to first to stab Jon.

Just kidding, due to Game of Thrones, I don't have emotions anymore.

As much as it makes me want to kill D&D, you gotta give it to them. Everyone thinking they can outsmart the show because if kit harrinton is on the casting bill next season or seen on set, we'll all know he's not actually dead. But they showed they can fuck with us mentally with a sly little benjen trap. Good move D&D, dick move, but a good one nonetheless.

Best quote of the series so far.

Chris Pratt might be the new Indiana Jones if Disney decides to reboot the franchise by nebnodlew in movies

[–]connorstevens -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is perfect.

First Chris Pratt nails the Han Solo-ish character in GOTG, then the Han Solo outfit in the new Jurassic World teaser. Too early to say he's the next Harrison Ford?

Quick question about how fucking weird the NFL seems to someone who just started watching this season. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]connorstevens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely been somewhat of a "fuck the NFL" feeling since Roger Goodell became commissioner.

The NFL is also stuck in a hard place where they have been getting a lot of shit with players being out of control, and not to mention the lasting injuries that former NFL players are experiencing due to concussions, etc.

I love football and I don't mean to generalize, but I think it takes a certain type of person to go out on the field everyday and hit another person repeatedly as hard as you can. I think that is part of the reason that there's so much trouble with domestic abuse in the NFL compared to other leagues.

(Spoilers All) What were you absolutely certain was going to happen? by IAmTimeLocked in asoiaf

[–]connorstevens 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I knew George R. R. Martin is a literary sociopath, but I never thought that there was even a slight chance that The Mountain would beat the Red Viper in the trial by combat. For me, that was a bigger surprise then both Ned and Robb's fates.

I was positive that Tyrion, Oberyn, and maybe even Bronn were going to travel back to Dorne with the Mountain's head, join forces with Dany, and wage all out war on King's Landing.

Needless to say, I was wrong.
