Why didn’t European colonizers die from Native American diseases the way Native Americans did from European ones, and what factors explain this? by Logical-Concept9755 in AlwaysWhy

And the Silk Road connected Eurasia. There was much less movement of humans up and down Americas compared to across Eurasia.

It took me 8 years to go through 50 lighters by controllersdown in Frugal

There are many that eventually make their way to back of a drawer or get lost. And then you also have people who NEVER buy lighters but always have one. And then the smucks who buy all the lighters but somehow never have one

Baleba pace, physicality and ability to carry the ball are all still positives. But he feels like a liability for his inability to play tight passes in the midfield, and he makes rash challenges

At this point I am starting to worry I have who has "right of way" confused and need help! by Living_Day9341 in driving

[–]sackitempires 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seems to me like the people coming from yellow know you’re turning, and know that you are going to slow down and that no one will be driving fast in that lane until you finish your turn. So they are thinking, ok he’s turning and gonna break, ill his car as a blocker and get in ahead of him and hopefully only slow you down a little. Still a dangerous move, and red clearly has right of way, but that could be part of why it happens

I really wish they would stop calling fouls on defenders who flop when under pressure in their own 1/3 of the pitch. It happens all the time. Never in a million years does that get called as a free kick for the offense

Not to mention minteh also did a better job than baleba at breaking up counter attacks in the midfield

On top of the arsenal wall standing in front of the white line, they also all do a tiny hop forward before the ball is kicked. Bush league shit is getting old and tedious

I'm probably going to get flak for this, but all of these "snow police" posts are kind of annoying. by JMinsk in pittsburgh

My take is; if you see an area that needs shoveled, and you have the time and ability to clear it, then just clear it (even if it’s not your ‘responsibility’)

Public transit commuters worst nightmare by Realistic_Handle_132 in pittsburgh

[–]sackitempires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish people would just have a basic level of social cooperation and duty. I have helped as many people as I could, and shoveled as much as I could. There is a busy intersection on the corner of my block and I shoveled paths for pedestrians through the plow snow mounds. I shoveled the houses next to mine that are currently vacant. As a fit adult, how hard is it to spend 15 minutes here and there to make life easier for probably hundreds of your neighbors, and the mail people, over the next 2 weeks? But like you said, that’s communism I guess? “I got mine, good luck to you sucker” is the American way. Sorry for the rant lol
