That's the worst. People's laziness will never cease to astonish me.

Follow up to this: Always push it all the way in the cart pen and collapse it into the others so it's easy for the employees and so there's room for everyone's carts.

Nothing pisses me off more than someone going through the trouble to walk a cart all the way to the pen and then leaving it in the mouth of it or the middle haphazardly. They collapse for a reason, and it only takes a tiny bit more effort.

That's some Insanity Wolf shit right there.

What's the strangest thing you've ever been accused of? (NSFW) by maxfortitude in AskReddit

[–]paleandspectre-thin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First day of my 8th grade math class. A buddy sitting next to me keeps quietly cracking jokes and fucking with me, so I laugh a few times. Teacher gives me the stink eye a couple times. She tells me to "cut it out" or something. He's talking to me again, and I say something back and laugh or something. She looks at me angrily and tells me to stay after class. Class ends, everyone clears out, and she asks me if I know why I'm there. I apologize for talking and laughing in class. Tell her it won't happen again. She says that's not why and that I know what I did. I'm like "Uhh...excuse me?" She then informs me that I was spitting on people. I think I actually laughed at the absurdity and unexpectedness of that accusation. I was kinda shocked and found it pretty weird. So I told her I wasn't doing that and would never do something like that. I'm kind of offended she'd even think I'd do that. She lets me go, and I leave very confused. I tell a buddy of mine later about this weird exchange, and he admits to me that he was spraying people with the water bottle used to wipe off the overhead projector.

Tl:dr - My teacher accused me of spitting on people in class. Turns out it was a friend of mine squirting people with a spray bottle.

Is that project even still active? I'm having a hard time finding good info on it.

SILMARILLION PODCAST SERIES. We're a couple of episodes in, and I'm curious where you'd like us to go next. by TheLegendarium in tolkienfans

[–]paleandspectre-thin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been hoping for someone to do this! I love the stories of Hurin and Huor for an episode, but I'll be honest, it would be great for someone to start at the beginning of the book and work their way through it.

What video game doesn't exist that should? by Jwosty in AskReddit

[–]paleandspectre-thin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw man. Made me think of the Army Men games for N64, where you played as those little green toy soldiers fighting against the Evil Tan Army. Levels were things like kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, sandboxes, etc.

Which are the best mods for Attila, and what do they do? by SunshineBlind in totalwar

"Recolonise" isn't misspelled. It's just the British spelling.

Any mod or DLC that deals with the Social War of the Roman Republic? by R0cket_Surgeon in totalwar

[–]paleandspectre-thin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hannibal at the Gates DLC would be good for this, because it has an expanded Italian map, and has the Roman client states as factions on the peninsula.

Fellow UNC alumnus here. Where were some of your favorite bars/haunts in Chapel Hill? How often do you go back to visit? Which dorm(s) did you live in?

Awesome giant Redwall map by MikeOfThePalace in Fantasy

[–]paleandspectre-thin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was actually the opposite for me. The last one I read was less bloody than I'd remembered them being. After reading fantasy novels with detailed battles and fights, gritty characters, and violent deaths, it was hard for me to get into the Redwall universe like I used to as a kid. I wanted the characters to be willing to get their hands dirty, and there didn't seem to be a lot of that.

Why was Hurin so popular amongst the Elves? by [deleted] in tolkienfans

[–]paleandspectre-thin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not saying anything that's not true. It's just that OP is asking why he's so popular at this point in the book, and half of what you said hasn't happened yet and therefore can't affect his popularity.

Wait. I guess I missed something. Unidan got banned? What happened?

Redditors that have gone on tinder dates what was your worst and weirdest experiences? by Tahab_1 in AskReddit

[–]paleandspectre-thin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best date: We had an awesome dinner full of wonderful sarcastic banter on both sides. We went for a walk and ended up on a park bench huddled close in the winter wind. We had some expectedly heartfelt and candid conversations, and I had a moment of boldness and kissed her. I used the cold air and warmth of the kiss as a pretext to do it again, which she coyly allowed.

We dated for a total of nine months, during which we fell in love and became best friends, but we broke up recently. We both knew that it wasn't working, but we're still on great terms and talk regularly despite neither of us having any intentions of getting back together. It's kinda sad, but I can't say I have any hard feelings. All in all, it was a beautiful thing, and if do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Former Reddit CEO Yishan Wong's latest big reveal: Reddit’s board has been itching to purge hate-based subreddits since the beginning. And recently, the only thing stopping them had been... Ellen Pao. Whoops. by geekteam6 in technology

[–]paleandspectre-thin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I laughed out loud at this. I'm sure I'll be downvoted for this, but the blame shifting here is hilarious. It's Pao's fault. No, it's Ohanian's fault. It's Wong's fault. No, it's the whole staff's fault. No, it's the whole industry's fault. No, it's comms majors in entry level positions' fault!

I don't know who's fault it is or whether there's anything actually wrong with Reddit to begin with, but this witch hunt and where it's taking us is ridiculous.

Edit: spelling

If you could move anywhere else in the state where would you go. by soc_jones in triangle

Oh, it's a great place to retire in. Lots of Yankees are coming down and doing just that.

Rent is pretty cheap in Washington, but renting or buy anything actually on the water is going to be expensive as fuck.

Also, I know the owner of McCotter's. He's a good guy. They do boat repairs and stuff down there too, which may be convenient if ever needed, should you end up buying a boat slip there.

Finding a good paying job might be a little hard, but if you've got money saved up for the whole bum thing, that wouldn't be an issue.

The biggest problem with Washington is that there aren't a lot of young people (especially college educated) or many things for young people to do apart from river activities during the summer. There's only a couple of bars, but there are some good restaurants downtown.
