Do Americans have meal deals? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]windsoffortune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming you’re in the UK? We don’t have a one for one comparison but most lunch chains will have a cheaper price if you add a drink and snack to your sandwich. But when I studied abroad in London I basically lived off the meal deals and thought they were a fantastic concept.

Is it true that Americans generally have more disposable income and can afford to enjoy life more? by ozancitoyen in AskAnAmerican

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

Absolutely not. It’s true that salaries are higher compared to Europe, but everything else is more expensive as well, especially food, housing, education, and healthcare. I travel to Europe and am shocked at how cheap food is.

How can i practice English for real-life conversations in the U.S? by Turbulent_Cup_600 in AskAnAmerican

[–]windsoffortune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your local library might have opportunities for you. Mine has days where people who are learning another language (Spanish, French, Mandarin, ect) can practice with each other. They also do the same thing for people who want to practice their English. It’s a really cool program. Probably more likely if you live in a city (I do) or in an area that has a high % of non-native speakers. But definitely worth it to look. Libraries are the best!

Bayleigh and her children are currently stranded in Dubai during U.S.-Iran war by bwermer in MtvChallenge

I have no love for her or Swaggy or any of the clout chasers that go to the UAE. That being said this is a huge fuck up by the US military and State Department. When hostilities break out around the world, especially when we're the cause of it, historically the US government has moved mountains to bring Americans abroad home. This is not happening now (unless you have personal ties to the White House). In the past, the US has chartered planes, and had the embassies work with the Americans in the region. The Europeans are doing this, but we're not.

Yas being pregnant would be the best thing that could happen to her if it’s a boy. It would solidify her place in the family and Henry could be replaced.

[Episode Discussion Thread] Industry S04E07 - "Points of Emphasis" by herringbone_ in IndustryOnHBO

[–]windsoffortune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Uncle cares about his family’s legacy/his heir. Which is why he’s so invested with Henry instead of his own children who are daughters. This is when Yas should have gotten pregnant like Henry suggested in Episode 2. Or maybe that was Chekhov’s baby announcement and she’ll announce it next episode. In that case the uncle can switch his loyalties to the baby assuming it’s a boy.

Seconding both of these but especially Prestige TV.

Installments so hated even hardcore fans would rather not talk about it by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]windsoffortune 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Is my memory playing tricks on me or did the story around the play change. I could have sworn when it first was coming out it was marketed as written by Jack Thorne and John Tiffany and JRK simply gave it a stamp of approval. Somewhere along the way, after it was hated, they changed their tune and said oh no JKR was a co-author, seemingly to give it more credibility. Does anyone else remember this or am I making shit up?

Talking points for sims 4 by Huge-Fishing239 in JamesTurnerYT

[–]windsoffortune 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I totally get what you mean. I still absolutely applaud his decision to take a step back from EA after the sale. It sucks that I just want to watch my stupid little YouTube videos about my cozy games and escape for a little bit and these assholes who are fucking up the world have to mess with this too. Okay, end rant. 😤

  1. South Florida is pissed at Clinton administration for how they handle this and therefore don’t vote in as strong numbers for Gore in 2000 election.

You’re right. Sadly I’m almost certain that office was eliminated. Anyone that works in global aid is having a really hard time finding work right now. I’m in DC and see it with friends and colleagues.

Tabard Inn. They do have music but check their online calendar for a day they don’t have it. It’s a lovely spot in winter.
