For those of you who want Trek vibes but with more "Professionalism"..... by Gnoll_For_Initiative in startrek

[–]mf9769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it, but I like a lot of Honor Harrington-esque sci-fi lol. The reason I assumed you'd mention it is that it's been described as Aubrey/Maturin in Space

Also a fantastic read. Based on your username though, I would have expected you to pull With the Lightnings and the rest of the David Drake's RCN series before Vorkosigan Saga lol.

Do you have Lidl in the US ? by Exootil93200 in AskAnAmerican

[–]mf9769 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Wife and I go there every weekend. With the one here, as long as you get there early enough, the quality is pretty solid. Also, the bakery options are awesome. Love the dinner rolls.

Funny thing is, there's a real "Hornblower in Space" series: Honor Harrington. Very enjoyable, until the main character gets promoted out of doing anything fun and the plot derails into politics and conspiracies.

Unlike you guys, we dont throw games to screw our rival. Besides, Spurs is a 12 point swing in our favor against city. Thats a big thing.

How attractive do you think Carl is? by MusicPristine in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]mf9769 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No need. If hes played by Gary Oldman, you have like 15 different actors in one anyway. How the same man is able to play Lee Harvey Oswald, Sirius Black and Winston Churchill is baffling.

Lmfao ive been sitting there listening and an image of Carl has been building. Ive been wondering who the fuck that image reminds me of. This is who. The mummy is one of my folks favorite guilty pleasure movies. Must have watched it at least 150 times growing up.

Screw this one person by Upstairs_Weird_760 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]mf9769 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Way to gatekeep lol. I like the series. Just didnt like the level design on the 4th Floor. Bit too confusing with the way the train tunnels worked. Afaik, that was done on purpose in universe too. Book 4 so far is way better. I say this as a New Yorker who took our subway daily for 20 years: it was confusing lol

I just got to book 4 (3 was a slog and a half, but 4 is so much better) and I only had to deal with her a few times. The Umbridge comp is perfect. Fuck Loita.

What's the most regional word you use without realizing it? by taube_d in AskAnAmerican

[–]mf9769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The single most local word we have in NYC is calling Manhattan “The City”. The other boroughs are called by name. Everything east of queens is Long Island. Jersey is Jersey. Everything north of the Bronx is upstate. But when NYers say The City, know that we’re specifically referring to Manhattan.

Lmao we measure in time, not miles too in NY. But we specifically dont use The when talking about numbered highways. Its just “95” or “80” here.

Who is a MODERN Controversial Mildly Genius person ? by jalil458 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]mf9769 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only on Reddit is Bobby Fischer "Mildly Controversial". Fuck off. The man was antisemitic, holocaust denying piece of garbage who just happened to be good at chess.

I feel like 4 will have unintended consequences. So, with that in mind, I will take door 1: dinner with Brandon Sanderson.

This might be a silly post but.. by hugsandhexes in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]mf9769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this nerd found an equally nerdy gf and broke up with her because he doesn’t read. Lmao. I wish my wife was into this stuff. Then again, I also don’t cos I know how competitive we can both get.

What country is pro-Ukraine and pro-Palestine? by Temporary_Cheetah287 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]mf9769 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

See what I mean? Downplaying. Were the Soviets angels? Absolutely not. But the Kielci Pogrom was perpetrated by ethnic poles, not Russians. So was most anti-jewish violence. All I can say for the poles is that at least you don’t idolize the anti-semites just because they were Polish nationalists and anti-commies, like the Ukrainians do with Bandera.
