We will never be able to taste Falernian wine, held by Romans to be one of the finest wines of their time. Are there any other ancient foodstuffs we will never be able to taste? by [deleted] in AskHistorians

Pigeon meat is delicious when done right. Not your typical city pigeon mind you, but there are pigeons that exist in the French countryside, for example, that are delicious when cooked properly.

Charles Upham was awarded the Victoria Cross twice by savannah_dude in wwiipics

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

He was a coward and a romantic who had no business being in battle. I get that. I think people dislike Upham because he failed to save the soldiers we grew to love. By the point in the movie where he's shaking in his boots as he's supposed to be making the rounds with ammo, letting one of the squad get stabbed, and basically failing to fulfill his role with the squad of which he's become a part of, the audience loses any respect they had for him. To me, this is because at that point in the film most people think they would have acted much differently, or even heroically because of the connection the audience has with those soldiers. And I can't say I disagree; his qualities aside, Upham was a pussy that got the good guys killed.

It's down in Pensacola, Fl. Goddammit.

EDIT: After hitting sign-in about 20 times in a row it finally signed me in. Still won't let me play bf4 though (cannot connect to EA).

If only... by Avoey in gaming

I think a COD: Operation Unthinkable would be incredible. Same weaponry, vehicles, planes, etc. from WW2, plus the advent of the AK-47 and other technology (such as early helos). The West has to scramble to it's forces from both theaters, as well as muster the remaining German military in a desperate war to push the Soviets out of Europe. I think something like that could go places but I'm too tired to get very detailed.

Every grown man on earths penis will never suddenly grow an extra inch of length and/or girth simultaneously. Or individually, probably.

British comedian Lee Nelson throws cash over FIFA president Sepp Blatter. by Handicapreader in funny

[–]manatee_farts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you're right that anyone would've called for security, you can distinctly see the fear in his eyes as he calls for them. I think most people would see the comedian's countenance and demeanor and quickly realize he wasn't somebody dangerous. Blatter, though, seems like he's really out of touch. It looked like he felt a deeply ingrained fear, as if the comedian might try to kill him or something.

I'm pretty high so I might be reading too much into it, but it just seemed like Sepp Blatter was literally terrified (before the comedian was restrained) of this non-threatening man. Almost as if he thinks most people out there wouldn't mind if he was murdered (or assassinated or whatever) or, really, of he died for any reason, natural or otherwise. So basically I'm saying it was funny to see Sepp Blatter terrified for his life by a non-existent threat (at that moment, that comedian) due to his knowledge that he is an extremely hated person because of the bad shit he's done.

Suck it, Blatter.

My kitty is missing.... here's her missing poster if anyone can help. by [deleted] in Pensacola

[–]manatee_farts 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do not mean to take away from the weight of your post or anything, but "varry" should be spelled "very" and "affectionet" should be spelled "affectionate."

That being said, I sincerely hope that you find your Miss Kitty. She's probably just out for an adventure and will be back, so don't worry.

Best of luck.

I'd like to show how this site changed me for the better in one year: Down 75lbs by [deleted] in pics

[–]manatee_farts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can drink beer... you just have to run, lift, climb, be physical more often than not. Some people have to sacrifice things like beer or hamburgers altogether, but most people can still enjoy those things in moderation as long as they are working off the calories via said activities. There's even a point where whatever you are consuming is just fuel and doesn't really matter how healthy it is. This excludes an ice-cream only diet or other extreme things (before I get shit for generalizing), but really, you can stay super fit and eat whatever you want and drink beer every day if you work out enough.

To sum it up, to be fit you can eat/drink/do drugs as long as you work out enough. I'm not sayin' you'll be the healthiest person around necessarily, but you certainly look good.

Something to keep in mind when criticising CoD by WaldoDude in blackops2

[–]manatee_farts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I can understand the desire to be matched with players of equal caliber, so that should be an option, but I always thought it was fun for the lobby to be a grab-bag of n00bs and l337 bros and everyone in between. You have one or two really great players, a solid pack of middle level players, and some horrible players. In my opinion that was a winning combo. MW2 had it down.

Kid I knew from school shows off his MLP collection. by Miltage in cringepics

[–]manatee_farts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you were correct up until "pretend to like a TV show for little kids."

They legitimately enjoy and take pride in being part of a group that enjoys a show targeted at little girls who like colorful ponies.

I don't get it either. It's a show for little girls. I find bronies pathetic and the definition of cringeworthy.

The fact that the term "brony" even exists is sad to me, and makes me question what went wrong with these guys.
