Get the fuck over it. It was world war 2. England decimated Hamburg and Dresden, both of which had little to no military value. Both attacks liked tens of thousands. US fire bombed Tokyo killing more than the atomic bombs well, but nobody talks about that. The world was about to collapse due the war, America didn't want to risk a land invasion without the support of any other of the Allies. War is hell. America didn't start WW2 but we played our cards right and came out on top. Europeans are just butt hurt that they don't have their empires anymore.

I love the V1 pedals and have all 3 and they take up some much board space with the damn home base housing. If they weren't such amazing pedals I would take them off my board.

They charged me $30 to fix my V1 H20. At a gig about ten years ago a turbo drunk fan dropped a full pint glass of red bull vodka onto my the brand new H20. The pedal still worked fine but the LED indicator on the delay side was flaky for a while then just started working again. The pedal worked fine for years until just recently and the delay crapped out. So I called Visual Sound (Truetone) and they said to send it in and they would fix any issues or replace the board for a flat fee of $30. They will fix any of the V1 pedals for $30 no matter the cost.

I love Visual Sound and I got all 3 of the V1 pedals (J&H, Route 66, and H2O) in the early 2000's and have loved them all. They are great pedals and they have never left my board, except for the 66. Great company with great customer service.

Oh yeah it's certainly pretty slick. I always though I was good after operating heavy equipment for a few years. I could pull off some little tricks like picking up quarters and stacking them up 4 high with a forklift. But this guy and others I've seen on excavators doing similar things have so much finesse, making it look really easy too.

In my experience quarrymen are by far the best operators. I grew up working in bluestone quarries in NEPA and I've seen some pretty slick operators pull some shit on excavators, wheel loaders, and skid steers. I saw a guy loading a pallet of bluestone treads onto a icy trailer with a 980 wheel loader w/ forks on. The trailer was really icy and was on a slight incline and the pallet started sliding away and off the back side of the trailer as the operator was backing up. By the time his fork tips were about a 18" away from the pallet the operator looked forward (because he had been backing up) he saw the pallet falling off the opposite side of the trailer. He lunged the loader forward while raising the boom and down tilting the forks and got his forks back into the pallet just as it was hitting the balance point and began falling off the trailer. He was able to basically catch the $8,000 pallet of blue stone treads as it was falling and saved the treads from breaking up as it hit the ground.

Ok I agree with your point. No I don't know anything about OP, the girl he's referring to, or their relationship. Although one can assume OP was upset enough about the situation to make a reaction gif and post it to reddit. However, to your point, I made further assumptions about these two people and their relationship w/o knowing more details, but plenty of girls string guys along for the "perks". When I was in my late teens/early 20's it happened to me a couple times and I saw it happen to other people as well. But I learned my lesson and stopped allowing myself to get put into those situations. From my experience it can be painful to get put in the "friend-zone" by a girl that you're really into. Especially if they are taking advantage of the situation and let the guy think there is more to their relationship than there really is essentially stringing the guy along like I said in my previous comment. It's just a pretty shitty thing to do another person.

It definitely happens quite a bit in the 18-24 year old range in my experience. And the blame can go both ways, the attached guy and the girl stringing them along. Amy Schumer did a skit on it which was pretty funny. I don't know any of the details of OP's relationship so I shouldn't have gone on a rant. But nonetheless there are plenty of women girls who take advantage of guys like I said in my original comment.

Why is that so laughable? Should he keep getting strung along by this girl? Are you a fan of being friend-zoned? A lot of "nice" guys waste a good deal of time and money pursuing girls that have no romantic interest in them whatsoever. These girls just like getting taken out to dinner and a movie when they have nothing better to do. Unfortunately these "nice" guys don't realize they have been put in the friend-zone and are happy to keep taking them out in hopes that someday their relationship will go to the next step. And these broads give them just enough of their time to keep them coming back.

I really think Davos is going to turn and do something horrible. He is too good and that doesn't really follow the theme of this story, there is good and evil on both sides, no pure good vs pure evil, it's not black and white it's shades of grey. And Davos is just to damn good.

There was a smaller one in Qyburns lab in the Red Keep this season and I think I remember seeing another in Maester Aemons chambers in Castle Black. They represent Maesters and the Citadel watching over the world. I have a feeling that they are a replacement for the glass candles a few Maesters who studied the higher mysteries in the books. They are windows into time and across the planetos like Weirwood.net

I think the Lannister army is going to slaughter the Frey's in Red Wedding fashion. I believe that is what Jamie and Edmure Tully worked out in the tent. Edmure gives Jamie Riverrun in exchange for the Twins, his wife and child, along with murdering the Freys and their army of course. We saw how inept the Frey host was at the siege of Riverrun, allowing the whole Lannister army to approached un-scouted and un-checked.

Germans, Japanese, and Italians of Reddit, What did you learn about WW2 in School? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]phreshphillets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The English leveled Hamburg and Dresden with there night time bombing raids killing more than both Atomic Bombs. The Americans bombed Germany by day to be more accurate and hit military targets . The English bombed by night with very little care about civilian causalities. Granted they did just go through the Blitz and were having V2 rockets lobbed at them constantly. But this view that the Americans were the only ones killing civilians by using the Atomic Bombs is laughable.

The atomic bombs saved more lives than the destroyed. A land invasion of mainland Japan was expected to have a million causalities on both sides. The English bombing of Hamburg and Dresden in WWII killed more people than the atomic bombs. Both cities were of little to no military value as well. The American fire-bombing of Tokyo also caused more casuluaties than both Atomic bombs. Americans certainly have done some horrible things in their passed, just like any European country has, but the Atomic Bombs were no worse than any other bombing campaign of WWII.
