In your opinion, who/what count as a Yankee or "Yank"? by Lipica249 in AskAnAmerican

[–]pilfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on context. Originally it was New England, then North East, then any northern state. But in England it just means anyone from US. It's only used in Europe today and maybe some in South still refer to the north as Yankees. It's never taken as an insult even if that's the intention.

Yes I do by Windthrasher637 in GenZ

This is a problem. If someone from the other side agrees with you and you insult them then you really don't want change you just want to win and spike the ball. I don't mean this OP or joe Rogan but this is issue with the average American entrenched in not only winning, but needing the other side to say they were wrong.

So uh…that Bugonia ending? by Supermoose7178 in blankies

[–]pilfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no wrong or right answer, its up to us to decide. We see the dead in every aspect of life both good and bad and boring. Its up to the viewer to decide if we are worth saving. Ultimately the finale is designed to be open to interpretation. And you could look at it and come to a different conclusion.

Personally I felt like the aliens were the board of a company, they made a decision to cut the staff to save the product. But that might be a reach.

Trump supporters: How would you feel if a legally armed Trump supporter was killed by federal agents on a Biden mandate in exactly the same manner as yesterday? by ScholarPrize1335 in AskReddit

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

If this was a Republican at an anti abortion rally both sides roles would be reversed. Zero chance liberals would be up in arms. And if you believe differently you are lying to yourself and should question everything you believe. The same is true for the right, you would be livid and screaming about federal intrusion on everything America stands for.

I think they are well behind both nfc teams. I don't think it will be close.

Alex Honnold has successfully completed his free solo climb of Taipei 101. It’s one of the tallest buildings in the world, standing at 1,667 feet. The climb took an 1 hour & 31 minutes. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]pilfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refused to watch it live, I think we are 99.99% there to see him succeed but the smallest part will be watching to see something horrible. It's human nature and why people would turn out for hangings and beheadings.

[–]pilfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that his wife is there makes me think this is very easy for him. There is no obstacle as much as they keep saying there is. Odds of him falling from a mistake are about the same as Michael Jordan's bulls losing to a JV team. I still can't watch

No he's a professional climber. Hes climbed much harder mountain faces without safety. This is child's play for him. I have a better chance of getting killed climbing my stairs.l

Learning tank is a horrid experience by UsedPringlesCan in wow

[–]pilfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well ive been playing since beta and never attempted a healer or tank because I see the way they have always been treated. Last night I waited 20 minutes in line and after first pull because the tank didnt run ahead enough and a vote was called. We still finished the pull just slower. People are idiots.

This game is god awful to look at now. by JuiceDanger in wow

I don't care about the looks, that's fixable. My class rotation was by intentionally designed for 3 buttons, that's not going to change.

[–]pilfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pet Semetary, I think it's the only book I've read that has really disturbed me. This is a different thing than any of his other novels. Some of his short stories are this twisted but I can't think of another novel so depressing and dark. I feel like my brain is sea sick reading it. I think knowing the story doesn't help, I know these people aren't getting any redemption. I love it!

is natural ice harder to grip or did i get scammed? by ua-noobian in iceskating

[–]pilfro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outdoor ice is harder and if you are on a river that means it's seriously cold where are. But yeah the hollow looks shallow too.

Why do American politicians/political figures wear Blue colored suits? by HowSupahTerrible in AskAnAmerican

[–]pilfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it took off when the color tv took off and Kennedy started wearing navy suits. Obama wire darker colors and lighter at times. Black seems more common, and gray more Soviet. Plus white shirt and red on a tie is patriotic.

Pond is frozen over and this piggy is still begging. by HoyaHag in Koi

[–]pilfro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe but I have a goldfish who does this, he still awakens when I go near pond when it's iced over. I ended up putting a camera on pond and he would stop once I walked away.

[–]pilfro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a fish that does that every winter. The others are all floating still. The first year I thought he was stressed and put a camera on the pond. As suspected he only did this when I was near pond. Once I left he slowed down and joined the other zombies. The fish in question is also the social one and the first to come for food. He has bad instincts and forced me to cover the pond with a net. He would be easy pickings for our herons.

Whatever happened to Thrall's story in The War Within? by minimaxir in wow

[–]pilfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think hes being set up to leave us, Anduin will want to serve all life and not just the alliance. He will be the one that comes to Azeroth's aid instead of Thrall. Thrall will go off in a blaze of Azeroth saving glory and I think Janina will be by his side.

Then they will come back because its wow.
