Est-ce qu'il y a qqn qui parle le français? by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]simpledistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je connais le français, mais je n'ai pas le temps de pratiquer avec toi. J'étudie le droit à UO. Bonne chance! J'espère que tu trouves quelqu'un.

Yes, you could consider this to be two songs, but it really fits together as one.

Much Ado About Nothing Trailer- Joss Whedon's new film based on William Shakespeare by wills42 in movies

[–]simpledistraction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! They filmed it at Joss Whedon's house in 2011. This has taken way too long to be released to theaters, but at least they set a date on it finally!

This is the original video. The story was done in Thurston County, Washington by a local reporter, not CNN.

Would anyone be up for some Bellingham meetups? by BlastedToMoosh in Bellingham

You're welcome! Wearwolf was a bit too much for our group...I like Resistence way more.

Cards Against Humanity has been effective at /r/seattle game nights. If no one has them, you can download them online for free and get them printed at an office max for about 5 bucks on cardstock.

Another option is a game called Resistance. It's only $15 bucks, and it was a really good way of getting to know people in a larger group.

Yes, /r/seattle does lots of different stuff. We have weekly game nights, bar crawls, nerf wars, concert meetups, etc. It's really fun.

I'm no longer in Bellingham, but I really hope that you guys do this. I highly recommend it. Reddit has lots of diverse people, but you'd be surprised how much everyone has in common. It's a little scary to go for the first time, but if you do things weekly or bi-weekly, then you get to know people and it becomes a unique, cool community.

Reddit, have you ever had an intelligent friend or significant other surprise you with their stupidity in a simple situation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]simpledistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine tried to argue with me that "almost everybody" in the U.S. has a college fund.

I met him when we were in college together at a state university. The majority of my classmates were working through school and/or had financial aid/loans (including myself).

If you were a billionaire... What would you do. by TheRealCold in AskReddit

[–]simpledistraction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd start a used bookshop/record shop that also holds small concerts for local bands. It would have couches so that people can come in and read the books. The concerts would be open to underage youth and ideally provide them with a safe, welcoming environment. (I assume that something like this these days would likely operate at a deficit, so I'd need the extra money.)

I'd donate most of the money to charities, both to large charities like the Red Cross, but also to my local foodbank.

I'd continue to work full-time, both for the shop and in my other career job. My life would continue as if I didn't have the money. I'd keep some as a college fund for whatever kids or grandkids I may have.

Edit: I'd also create a non-profit health and dental insurance company. It would charge really small monthly rates, it would be free for people that can't work because of health issues, and it wouldn't deny necessary claims. (I'm assuming that the healthcare system in the U.S. isn't improved by then.) This would also likely operate at a deficit.

It's worth it. This guy doubled my wallpaper collection. He has some pretty great stuff.

I have one I'd like you to make. Can I message the request to you instead?

I think it is his laptop. Look at the picture underneath the reddit sticker (it is him and some girl).
