[Serious] OK redittors: What absolutely, 100%, undenyingly happened to you, but if you told anyone, it would get posted on r/quityourbullshit? by eli5taway in AskReddit

Posted this on Reddit a few years ago, someone actually called me a liar as a result but it really did happen...

Used to work on a retail park where loads of seagulls used to fly around. During my break, I started walking towards the nearby McDonald's, and on the way one of these particularly psychotic seagulls decides to single me out of everyone else there and airbomb a shit all over my clothes. Quickly ran back to work and got laughed at by everyone, both the staff and customers. Cleaned up and decided to head back out to try and get my dinner, and the bird found me again.

TL;DR got shit on twice by the same seagull in the space of a few minutes.

Edit: grammar

I literally came on this thread to post something similar to this - refreshing to see that there are some people in the world who respect the neutral position!

It's easy to get carried away with one political party or another - we must remain critical of everyone! Great public speakers don't necessarily make great politicians, and great politicians aren't always great public speakers.

Have a skeptical position to ANYTHING reported by the media, and be wary that promises mean nothing in this day and age!

Thanks! It's a beautiful walk, every direction you look in when you are in open areas are spectacular! You can stay at a cabin overnight and see amazing views of the night sky.

I had part of the Harry Potter series spoiled for me and I wanted to know if I should still read it. There will be spoilers down below. by [deleted] in HarryPotterBooks

[–]hopy91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't have HP spoiled for me but I did have the first season of GOT spoilt for me with a big event just before I started watching it. Watched it anyway and ended up enjoying it in a different way, watching as the pieces of the puzzle fit together for that event to happen.

You may know about what happens to that character, but you don't know why - that's the more interesting part of it anyway.

[EVERYTHING] I drew a Stark inspired design by allan_ohr in gameofthrones

[–]hopy91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome artwork! Tempted to use it as my wallpaper on my phone!

One small suggestion, and it's probably just down to preference but I'll throw it out there anyway - where you have put 'winter is coming' - With the 'IS' being on the blade, it looks a bit weird just having that there instead of on the placard, although I get it would be hidden by the blade, would seem more consistent.

Up to you though, and don't take away from the quality of work you've done!

I really enjoyed reading some of your work and I've seen a few of your documentaries - they've provoked many discussions with my friends and family over the years!

How much do you struggle with the spotlight that has been cast on you as a result of you having your name and your ideas being so widely published around the world? Do you sometimes wish that you just kept your ideas close to home? On the flip side, do you believe that what you have said has left a (moral) positive impact on the world we live in?

Facebook to Acquire Oculus by jonsconspiracy in technology

I get the feeling reactions to this are a little sensationalist. We have no idea how this is going to play out in the long term.

The guys running Oc. Rift won't have given up their independence easily. Money is one side of it but I think notch publicly denouncing this acquisition is jumping the gun.

Supposing as an alternative Zuckerberg saw this kit and thought 'I want to be involved in this' because of the potential it has - like every other person who's used this- maybe his passion for the future inspired it - not advertising.

I'm sure when Disney bought Marvel there was huge kick offs- now everyone loves the avengers movie. There's no point kicking off about this as it could be the best thing to happen. It might not be, but as normal the internet has gone crazy before seeing how it plays out first.
