Strangely, the game actually wasn't truly horrifying until I reached the Nave and Agrippa. Sure, I was scared during several parts, but the monster stopped being frightening before I even reached the prison. The water portion was certainly tense, but that was a very short part of the game.
I was only truly horrified when I learned what Daniel, who I was completely immersed in at that point, had done (i.e. upon having the human sacrifice flashback in the Choir Entrance). I was playing the part of a man who had turned into a sociopath in order to save his own life, and had allowed himself to be deluded into believing that he was actually doing good. Daniel hadn't been the only one in the story committing these acts, but he had committed them. Furthermore, I was still willing to use the products of those actions to escape retribution. Amnesia's is probably the only narrative without protagonists that I have found even remotely convincing.
The horror grew as my knowledge did. The discovery of vitae's origin, the description of each torture device, and the accompanying awful sounds of the victims' screams and injuries all compounded to bring me to the point where I actually used my lantern in dark hallways. I wasn't afraid of the monsters that were chasing me, but of the world becoming any darker.
As for the pants on head ridiculous explanation, I personally don't see how adding on extra-dimensional beings is any crazier than an impossible orb with powers of mysticism and sorcery. I thought the fantastical elements of the world were a good blending of Lovecraftian horror and a small amount of sci-fi. Although I am a sucker for ancient orders who leave behind powerful artifacts and massive structures (bonus points if they're subterranean).

See the problem is much simpler than that and I'll tell you why. First lets establish what the real "core" issue here is. The issue is that different groups of people are labelling themselves as practising Muslims yet there seems to be a conflict in certain actions and ideologies of these people. From the perspective of non-Muslims, there is confusion and I can understand if group A says, we are Muslims and Islam teaches us to blow up the infidels or what have you. Group B on the other hand, claim they too are Muslim and that Islam does not teach them to do whatever group A is doing. Now multiply the number of groups by 10 and you have a real issue from the perspective of non-Muslims in that who should they trust, so they resort to saying the entire religion is the problem. This situation may seem complicated and unresolvable, in fact looking at the situation from this perspective, I would completely agree to say that the religion is the problem. However, luckily the solution is much simpler than that IMHO. The problem is that there is no "absolute" or there doesn't seem to be an absolute in Islam, but the truth is, there actually is an absolute and that is the Quran. Muslims follow this book word by word, sentence by sentence; and if anything in the rulings of Muslim clerics or people's claims is ambiguous, then it should be brought back to the Quran. The Quran, is the absolute after which comes the life of the prophet. So with that established, if any group in Islam wants to make a claim that they are correct, I will not believe them until they bring me clear proof from the Quran that states their position is permissible and taught by God in the Quran. Otherwise, they are wasting their own time pointing fingers at other Muslims, and in sad reality of things, that is exactly what is happening.
I invite you and all other people in doubt as to the true stance of Muslims on terrorism and non-believers in general, to please read the Quran with proper translations and context of verses, so that you can clear things up for yourself. Sorry for the rant, I'm just really upset by all that is happening and wish to contribute whatever I can to help people learn our true stance as Muslims and that we, by what is written in the Quran, absolutely do not condone the acts of these ignorant human beings.
|
There is an absolute in Islam and that's the Quran. There's no doubt about what's in it, and the killing of non-believers is certainly not instructed.

I had a conversation with this about my friend earlier today -- he dropped a pretty dumb line that this type of radicalism doesn't happen with any other religion.
Well, that's obviously not true. Catholicism was one of the bloodiest institutions. Far worse than anything modern Muslims have done. The Crusades, The Witch's Hammer, it goes on and on. As a practicing Roman Catholic, I have no problem saying this. It's history.
My theory is that this sort of radicalization is a phase of all religions. When something becomes that popular, it is only a matter of time before the first evil man exploits the attention and faith of millions. Catholicism is older -- by about 600 years. We had our evil take over. We suffered the consequences. Islam is going through it's own.
It's quite easy for a political figure to do this. In fact, they have done it throughout history. The Catholic church used religion to spark three crusades. Wars in which millions of people died. And guess what, Islam is now using that same area as it's primary fighting grounds today.
|
Religion will always be exploited by evil men. It's quite easy to venture into any of the Holy Books, take a passage, and use your own interpretation to fund your personal needs. It's important to realize that, just because evil can exploit a religion, that should not damn every person who follows it.

The problem for Islam is that Mohammed is their idol. And he practiced an Islam of conquest... The fact is Islam is inherently a political movement whether these Muslim groups believe or not. The Koran and Hadiths are unchangeable and unfortunately quite in line with extremists. When the moderates show more cognitive dissonance regarding their own "holy" book, it simply means their "holy" book is exactly what they claim it's not.
|
Extremists are indications of the underlying problem...Islam itself.

I'm normally pretty gracious about police. Maybe even more than most. But the degree of "I'll put up with X because at least they're not Y" here strikes me as a little too much.
I don't care how bad the police are in other places. We hold ours to the highest standard we can manage, because we've lent them extraordinary power, resources, and discretion to act on our behalf. That's the arrangement we have.
So I genuinely appreciate every cop that does what they're supposed to. I really, really do. But at no point am I willing to make excuses for the ones that don't.
You start hurting people without cause, stealing, or taking ridiculous liberties with the discretion we've given you? Well, then you don't belong in our employ anymore, and I have little sympathy. Because aside from any direct harm it causes, it makes real police look bad, damages our trust, and compromises our safety and security.

Good cops are fantastic. Bad cops are terrifying.

Many religious texts, including the Bible, advocates violence quite extensively. However, in our modern society, most religious people have realised that maybe they shouldn't take everything literally.
Most, if not all, of the larger branches of the major religions in our world advocate peace, love and understanding (to various degrees), regardless of what their religious scripts say.
That's the beauty of religious texts; they're very open to interpretation.
This is not to say that there aren't problems when it comes to things such as women's rights, sexual freedom and the like, but I find those issues to be on a separate level from murder and warfare.
Disclaimer: of course there are groups who take their scriptures literally and advocate violence even today, but I argue that these factions represent a minority.

Most religious scripts advocate violence. This does not mean that most religions are violent.

The no true scotsman fallacy has always bugged me, mainly because the people using are using it incorrectly and ironically are the ones commiting the fallacy the opposite way. I.e. even if someone isn’t xyz, they claim they’re a “true xyz”.
The no true Scotsman story goes that Robert Macduff says “no Scotsman would commit such a murder”. When the murderer is revealed to be Scottish, he says “no true Scotsman would commit such a murder”. Robert Macduff spouts a fallacy that despite the claims of the murderer and the qualification of being a scotsman is that the person be a citizen of Scotland, he is not a true Scotsman. The actual qualifications are ignored by the word true.
Now lets I were to invent a simple religion/group, where there is only one rule. “don’t kill anyone”. That’s it. No caveats, no splinter groups, nothing. Followers of this group could be called “1rule followers”. Now if you go around murdering people, it doesn’t matter how much you claim to be a 1rule follower, you are not a 1rule follower because you aren’t following that 1 rule. But Robert Macduff would fallaciously say he’s a true 1rule follower.
This is what bugs me. Whenever someone does something bad in the name of religion, despite it being contradictory to that religion, and despite the hundreds and thousands of the followers/experts of that religion saying it doesn’t have anything to do with that religion, someone will just say “no true Scotsman” even though it doesn’t apply.
|
just because the word “true” is used, doesn’t mean the no true Scotsman fallacy applies.

From someone who was once Muslim allow me to give you perspective.
On the the day of September 11, 2001 I was sitting at school (fourth grade at the time) in Dallas, Texas thousands of miles from downtown New York and was oblivious to what was going on. So was my entire school. Not my mother however, who worked nights and had just come home maybe an hour earlier turned on the news to see the horrific events that were unfolding. I was picked up from my school with two hours of my mother turning on the TV by my brother not for fear of a terrorist attack on Dallas or any neighbouring cities but because my mother (non-Muslim) feared for MY life and my safety. I know how selfish it may seem but those few people and the few who claimed responsibility have made it extremely difficult for those of us in America and other western nation to simply because of our backgrounds and heritages. We don't hate (I however have renounced my faith and all religion) America or our respective nations for that matter but there are those who, again a group of the minority in this instance, would seek to use those actions that day to say hurtful things, persecute us and to have us leave.
I remember walking with a family friend of mine one year my senior in our own community when we were no older than thirteen or fourteen and a grown man in a convertible shouted: "GO BACK TO SAUDI ARABIA YOU 'MOOSLIM' 'RAGHEAD' MOTHERF*CKERS!" Her, her brother (two years my junior) and her younger sister (five years my junior) who were with us we kinda scared.
I am an American. I would defend this nation with my life if it came down to it. I have even considered applying to the CIA because of my background, looks, last name and my ability learn languages. To help this nation thwart anything like what has happened over the years. Though not all Muslims or former Muslims feel that exact sentiment they do love their countries and hate those who seek to defile their beliefs and simply wish they would stop. We don't like being called terrorists, rag heads, towel heads or sand niggers. We genuinely love the people around us and just want to be a part of the community ._. is it to much to ask?
That is why he apologized! He just wants to be a person of this nation and is just as appalled by what has happened and is even more apologetic because it was someone very close to his place in his family tree. He knows that Boston and America will not forget this and that it is very likely people will never let him or his family live it down. Still, he wanted you to know, that he and his, and we and ours don't agree with what those two brothers did.
|
We are members of our nations and hate that people will kill in the name of the religion (I'm no longer Muslim) and we are just as appalled as the next when they (terrorists) do these kinds of things. Sorry for being long winded. :/
Edit: I am giving an honest and meaningful answer to his question. Why downvote me?

Go filler in ranked. Most of the time you end up as support but going filler leaves the rest of the team to get the roles they want. This way their game won't be off due to them silently or openly raging about not getting their role. In game you have one of two choices to win: Make it so your teammates can carry you (wards, sacrificing your life to save theirs if your feeding etc) or if you're confident in your own abilities take charge of your team and call the shots. Most ranked games are lost due to indecisiveness. Those 20 seconds after an ace deciding whether to baron/push tower will probably make you unable to do either since the enemy should be rezzing soon. If you are able to make a decision in an instant you will be able to make much better plays. But overall, I mean absolutely overall: DON'T RAGE! Raging affects your teammates game play as well as your own and is only advantageous to the enemy team. I know what you're thinking "But this cunt-biscuit is being such a douche to me and I want to fight back". Before you do rage though, remember this: YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE THAT CUNT-BISCUIT AGAIN! If someone on your team is raging at you, even if he's wrong tell him that he's right and it's your bad. This will placate his rage and prevent the overall morale of your team from falling too low. If someone else is feeding unintentionally don't start picking on him/her. Everyone has fed in ranked games before and being raged at doesn't make them better, if anything it makes them worse and your plays worse as well. Telling them its alright that they're having a bad game cheers them up a bit a boosts their confidence which will lead to better plays.
|
LoL is a team game, help your team. Try going filler for the team. Be decisive and confident, but not cocky. If you're doing bad, apologize and try to help the team. If someone else is doing bad, tell them its alright and help them out. DON'T RAGE AND DON'T FEED RAGERS! Just tell them my bad and keep playing.

I tend to scroll through the chat log until I see evidence of what gets reported. If I see a guy throwing racial slurs and he's reported for verbal abuse, well, that was easy. If he only said a few things and they were all helpful mia callings, I pardon. I also look at the games with the most number of reports first-I remember one case where the entire ENEMY team accused a guy of INTENTIONALLY FEEDING. I scrolled the chat logs and did find evidence of feeding (he said he would) and the 0/12/0 didn't help...

My boyfriend currently works in a kitchen and I used to, as well. Your SO is making excuses for sexist and racist and completely inappropriate behavior for an adult.
Back of house talk is generally cruder- "bitch" this and "pussy" that. Your boyfriend is not a good guy that magically turns into a small-minded bigot when he hits the kitchen.
Edit:

BOH is cruder but your boyfriend sounds like a jerk.

This is in the FAQ of the Tribunal:
>
Can I be banned for playing an unpopular champion?
>
No, the Tribunal does not ban players for playing unpopular champions. You should feel empowered to play any champion you like, any way you like as long as you’re creating a positive experience for everyone in the game.
and
>
Can I be banned for not playing the meta?
>
Players are not banned by the Tribunal for not playing the meta; they are banned for consistently creating negative experiences for others.
>
We have data suggesting that reviewers of Tribunal cases are very thoughtful and accurate in their verdicts, so if you were reported for not playing the meta but were being a positive player, you can expect to be judged fairly.
>
In general, players should feel empowered to play what they want and to try new strategies; however, this does not give you a license to be disrespectful or rude to your fellow gamers.
The key words in both of those statements is that a player has to create a bad experience for people in the game . Unless you actually play a game with him and then determine for yourself that he creates a bad experience, he won't get banned. Even though there is a lot of outcry against him.
Someone posted a picture of him on Ryze playing with the same couple of players each time. If you yourself go to his lolking, you'll see that all his games on Shaco and Teemo (the games in question by OP) don't have those players in them.

First off, good post and great stance on the issue. If more people thought like you addiction would be seen more like the disease it is rather than the stigma it shouldn't be.
However, there are a few things I want to address/correct/expand upon...
The drug manufacturers added naloxone (the Narcan you mentioned is a trade name while naloxone is the drug name - like Vicodin versus hydrocodone) to the drug Subutex - which was a preparation of just buprenorphine, the drug which as you said binds partially to opioid receptors, ending withdrawal symptoms without producing a high - not because of any government mandate, but because the patent on Subutex was expiring. The addition of naloxone to the buprenorphine created Suboxone, and a new patented medication the drug companies could charge more for. (Which - trust me - they charge a nice little bit for those ass-nasty orange sublingual strips.)
Second, you said narcan only works if injected. While it works best when injected, it can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, as a nasal mist, or even orally - albeit the oral route is very ineffective. Also, you say that Suboxone can't be injected because of the presence of naloxone. While it isn't really the brightest of ideas to IV Suboxone, the naloxone present is in sub-therapeutic levels. In other words, to get the dose of naloxone high enough to have an effect you'd need to shoot up a metric fuck-ton of Suboxone, which would defeat the point since at doses of 32 mg-plus, buprenorphine itself begins to act as a competitive agonist (which is what naloxone is), stripping itself from the body's receptors, leaving the individual in precipitated withdrawal just like naloxone would.
About the special secret lists you mentioned - you're partially correct. To be allowed to prescribe Subutex/Suboxone, a doctor must get special certification (I'm not sure what goes into this - I'm a junkie, not a doctor). Furthermore, they are only permitted to treat a certain number of patients or write a certain number of Subutex/Suboxone prescriptions. Finding a doctor with the necessary certification who has spots open for new patients is almost always a hassle, especially if you're also trying to find one who accepts your insurance.
Lastly, about the ten NA/AA meetings a week. I know you were being hyperbolic, but it isn't quite as bad as that. Most doctors require you to attend one or two Suboxone support groups a month. I believe that making patients go to those groups may be one of the requirements for maintaining their certification, but anything above that is up to the doctor's discretion.
Everything else you said is spot-on perfect. Its getting harder and harder for addicts to find the help they need to get clean. Furthermore, the number of opiate-addicted individuals goes up every year as more and more methadone clinics, Suboxone doctors, rehabilitation facilities, and addiction specialists goes down. Its getting to the point where even if the person is ready to get clean there just isn't anyone there to help them do it, and if they are, that help can end up costing the person more than maintaining their addiction.
America needs a complete overhaul on how we look at drugs, drug addiction, and the addicts themselves. Until that happens though, we're going to see more and more people needing to use Chris Christie's proposed Good Samaritan law, and, frankly, we're going to see more and more people either dead or wishing for death.

You are not pathetic. You are human being with every right to your emotions. You are a human being who is allowed to make mistakes. & more importantly, you are allowed to learn from them.
No matter what it is, if something you did or you did with someone else is making you feel bad about yourself, stop doing it. You & your body are not separate entities & you have the final & absolute decision of what you do with & what happens to yourself, your body.
You first need to realize this about yourself. Respect yourself, & realize that your emotions are absolutely valid & deserving of respect . It's extremely difficult to internalize in the systematically oppressive-to-females society we live in, but I think you need to start somewhere if you want to get closer to feeling good about yourself.
Respecting yourself is the most important step in getting others to respect you. If others do not have respect for your wishes, needs, & emotions, forget them. If even after reasoning with them they won't listen, they are simply not worth your time & are unworthy of you.
Especially with something as deeply personal as sex, your partner (be it long-term or just for one night) needs to realize & respect that you have sexual wants, sexual needs, & feelings about sex that are outside of their own. If they can't do this, if they won't do this, they are not worthy of sex with the wonderful person that is you.
I'm especially upset for you about the slut-shaming for wanting to be sexually healthy. Condoms are a virtual guarantee to your sexual health & any partner that not only disrespects your need for sexual health, but actively shames you for it should not have access to sexytimes with you.
You are not a slut for looking out for your sexual health, you are being responsible & it's frankly offensive to think that many people get away with their own lack of responsibility for protection by making you feel bad for wanting it.
You are not here to serve solely the sexual needs of your partner. Sex is cooperation & compromise, not obedience.
Just because you are looking for a good time for one-night-only doesn't mean you throw your sexual rights out the window. It doesn't mean you don't deserve every ounce of respect for your emotional, health, & sexual needs that any woman looking for a partner deserves.
Sex should be what you want too. Whatever it is you are doing, if you are going to go through with it you should absolutely want it. The sex you describe doesn't sound like you wanted it. The partner you had it with clearly didn't respect your wants & needs, your boundaries, & in my opinion didn't deserve having you.
I think that first of all, GET TESTED & make sure your partner didn't hurt you in more ways than one.
Second, take some time to think & talk to yourself about what your sexual & romantic wants, needs, boundaries, & feelings are. Establish what you want sex to be & make a choice to actively respect your own thoughts, needs, feelings. They are absolutely valid & should be the final say on what you & your partner end up doing for the night.
Third, sit down & talk with the guy you mentioned & make sure you talk about this incident & how it made you uncomfortable, upset, sad, & maybe even angry. Be serious about it. Think about what you want to say to him. What you wished had happened instead & how you want things to work in the future (if there is one). Let him know that he crossed a boundary & that it is making you feel bad. Sex should make you feel good. He made you feel bad, let him know that you are NOT okay with that. Maybe if you don't want to see him again, it seems like it's not necessary to have a sit-down with him. But I think for your own well-being & closure, & also to educate him, you should at least let him know that you felt disrespected, violated, or hurt by his actions. It's possible he doesn't think what he did was wrong, let him know. Even if all that comes out of it is an apology & a goodbye, both of you will become better people for it.
Fourth & most important, respect yourself & your sexual wants, needs, & boundaries, & make sure you carry that respect with you into every encounter with a partner. No respect, no sex. That's that. Even in a one-night stand, just because it might not turn into a relationship does not mean that all rules are out the window & that your needs, wants, & boundaries don't matter. They always matter, sex is not just to serve your partner's needs & wants. It's to serve you & your happiness & well-being too.
|
Respect yourself & your sexual needs, desires, & boundaries. Don't have sex with anyone else who doesn't or makes you feel bad for them. Get out there & have some awesome sex with people who make you feel good.

I actually completely agree with you. Not about Shen though. I know how to play him pretty well, cause I normally play top lane/jungle. For other champions though, there are just times where I have no idea how anybody could be bad with them. When I first picked up Lee Sin, I genuinely couldn't understand how people would do so poorly with him. His whole kit screams "I'm going to outplay you". And I mesh really well with any champs that have gap closers. Mainly ones with multiples dashes though. Except Ahri. Fk dat hoe. I have no idea how to play her.
My point is that I understand how a champion is played through viewing it. I watch streams. I watch tournaments, I watch both NA and EU LCS. I understand how a champion is supposed to work before I even play it.
We are not the vast majority. Champs do not make sense to everybody. In fact, there are a few champs that I have no idea what I'm doing with. Anivia and Ahri are prime examples of this. I can play other APCs, but not them. Most people only have a champion pool of maybe 10 or so champs they can play comfortably. And maybe about two they can play top notch with. I can play top notch with at least five champs, and can play almost every single champion proficiently. Though some of them are inherently not good. (I'm looking at you Karma/Heimer)
|
I agree with you completely. I also don't understand it. Champions make sense to me as well. Only a few I can't play. Fk Ahri, that stupidly cute fox hoe.

My question is related to the Trundle rework. I understand the thought behind redoing his lore and look to be more a part of the world. I don't like it, but it's a good thought and I won't be complaining about it here. I will focus purely mechanically.
Overall, Trundle can go Top fairly well now, something he couldn't before. But he lost his amazing jungle status. The lowered damage on early ranks of Q wreck his clear time, the increased healing on W doesn't balance out for the extra hits from mobs you'll be taking (Because of the decreased clear times), and the reduced duration on the E is just a weird random nerf.
The worst change, I feel, was the removal of his CC reduction. That was the big element of what made Trundle's ganks actually good. It defined Trundle. It allowed him to take an entire enemy team to the face and tough it out, very fitting for his character. I mean, after you nerfed Singed's ult in the same way, it's starting to seem like you're just hating on CC reduction.
For good reason, I suppose. If you're not an experienced player, it can be difficult to counter a tank with that much tenacity. But either way, it hurts his ganks and late game performance so much that it's not worth the extra healing and attack speed, in my personal opinion.
I would like to focus just on this factor here. Why have you made Trundle such a worse jungler in exchange for top lane game? I don't think it's versatility. I'd even say the jungling with him effectively now is nigh-impossible. I'm just a concerned Trundle main, and I'd like to know why you changed things so drastically.

As much as I want to see more Mount Targon I would rather see a city state with a lot of old champions gettings VU rather then focusing somewhere new straight away. Like having a Bandle City/Noxus/Demacia and bring a new champ out for them while also updating more of the older ones like Garen and Tristana would be time better spend imo.

do an older city state so we get more remakes a la Sej/Trundle pls

The article only glances over the 'One Algorithm' theory from Jeff Hawkins algorithm that is able to grok, hopefully, increasingly complex tasks. It doesn't make sense because AI is hard.
The idea uses recursion to find simple patterns at the finest grain of detail (edges, lines, color) that are to be categorized over time, then detects patterns of those patterns to find higher order things (say, simple shapes), then patterns of those patterns (objects), and patterns of those patterns (including temporarily, so you track a given object as it moves).
Each abstraction 'layer' is not rigidly defined, just a collection of patterns noticed by things 'below' it, so there might be many 'layers' between finding the lowest details (think, 1 or 4 pixels pattern detection, essentially) and higher details (recognizing a circle).
This is a grossly oversimplified version of the theory , but maybe you get the jist. At every level of detail and abstraction, humans are trying to make predictions to satisfy their immediate and longer-term needs/expectations, including everything from reaching for a doorknob without looking directly at it, to acquiring new words and languages. It's some clever shit.

Hello!
It doesn't matter when you take in the whey, as long as you hit your daily macros. If you like it before a workout, go for it, but since I workout around 6-7pm, I enjoy it later at night around 8:30/9:00pm (Staves off mid night snacking and carb gorging in the morning for me).
Also, you're gonna see the best results with Whey from less volume and more weight on your lifts. You won't get bulky until you're doing 1.85x bodyweight or higher on most lifts (which if trained properly is a year minimum from where you're at it sounds).
ALSO: That garbage that your body only absorbs xx amount of protein in xx time is relative trash. If you're eating balanced meals, you'll never overload on so much 'tein that it 'goes to waste'. Lastly, it's always better to go over protein macros than under.
Protips: ON Whey and Elite XT are the best tasting, and should be consumed with milk IF you want MORE protein, (skim if cutting). Use a blender too. Blend a banana into choco whey and milk. Nom nom.
Info about me: I'm 5'7, 155lb, 14%BF currently, and have been supplementing with cheap ass Wally World Whey for 12$ a container, for 2 years now. I remain so small cause I play Ultimate Frisbee and it's a lot of cardio.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

My experience with whey is good. Take it with milk. Use a blender.

Not a LoL player, so my best suggestion is to show them a slow/easy game. as someone who doesn't play LoL, every teamfight looks like a fuckfest to me, even if i try very hard to recognize the spells and abilities.
|
don't show them a very pro match because they will just get confused, go with something simple.

While I don't wholly agree with your stance, upvote. Mainly because its much better than the asshats here who think a girl wanting her fiance to spend more than $500 on a ring is "obviously materialistic."
I won't say what I spent on my fiancee's ring... this circlejerk mob would probably lynch me. Fact is, we spend $150 on going to a nice date dinner like once a month, people, myself included, spend hundreds easily on a computer that will be relevant for maybe 3-5 years, spend hundreds of dollars a month on a car note (you can get a vehicle that moves from point a to b pretty cheaply)...so when I looked for my GF's engagement ring, I kept in mind that I was buying something she would wear daily for the rest of her life, and maybe even hand it down a generation, who knows. So yes, I saved for a few months. I certainly didnt spend two months salary, but I did spend about what I can set aside in 3 months. To me, when I think of what I was buying compared to amounts I spend on other things, that was reasonable.
Regardless of all of that, EVERYONE is materialistic in one way or another, you're proud of what you have if its important to you. Yes, engagement rings are a status thing to a lot of people. For others its a car, or your computer, or the resort you stayed at when you took that trip last year. Just because you don't agree with someone elsespelses material prioritis doesnt make them any more materialistic than you.
|
people calling a girl materialistic for wanting an engagement ring that costs over $500 are ridiculous.

You have to understand the GOPs problem with healthcare.
For them, not letting government get into health care is the #1 issue for their survival.
The top of the top. Their core ideology, is no government health care.. and then small gov, low taxes, economic freedom.. w/e #1 is no health care.
The reason is they think it will drag us left. People will see the government as something that isnt completely pure evil when it saves someones grandmothers life.
They think it is the main reason, are dems would be republicans in just about any other country.
This is why after they killed hilarycare.. and after the government was producing surpluses, [that bush decided the government needed to be in a straight jacket. And gutted revenues until we were put onto the path of major deficits.](
>"so we have the tax relief plan [...] that now provides a new kind—a fiscal straightjacket [sic] for Congress. And that's good for the taxpayers, and it's incredibly positive news if you're worried about a federal government that has been growing at a dramatic pace over the past eight years and it has been."
[clinton grew the gov, less than the two presidents before him and less than bush after him]( but we needed a straight jacket? Because we nearly passed health care.
Notice the guns and watering the tree of liberty didnt really come out in force, until the health care debates. And people actually got into fist fights over it.
This is why, since Obama has been elected the #1 thing that has happened in government, was the republicans constant attempts to repeal the law.
They fear health care more than they fear minority growth.
They fear health care more than they fear the growth of poverty and extreme disparity, along with the media attention that comes with it.
Health care is their super devil. It's their achilles heel.
It just sucks that it has to be the heritage foundations individual responsibility mandate, that is going to stab the right in the foot. Although it would be quite ironic if the modern american right was killed by the heritage foundation.
|
Not giving you healthcare is the GOP's #1 issue, because they fear it will turn us into europeans and kill the modern far right republican party.

Before anyone becomes a senator or holds any other political office they should be made to take an extensive number of tests to determine that they are indeed qualified to be voting on such laws. Not only that, they should be made to sign a document binding them to uphold core values of the US ie, separation of church and state and all that. Perhaps when this comes to pass, there will actually BE people qualified to vote on such important day to day issues. As it is now.. it is a sad, sad mess where someone who has no scientific knowledge can vote on scientific issues and those who wish to campaign using their religious beliefs as political points are allowed to do so. And yes, these people get into office over a more qualified person time and time again.

Ich frage mich grade warum du denkst da ist irgendwas falsch mit dir. Dein Stiefvater versucht dich durch andere, in seinen Augen "bessere" Söhne zu ersetzen.
Ich habe auch einen Stiefvater seit ich 3 Jahre alt war und ich hasse ihn. Er hat aber auch nie versucht irgendwem vorzumachen, dass er mich nicht hasst. Er ist Alkoholiker und behandelt seinen leiblichen Sohn (jetzt 15 jahre alt) auch viel besser als mich. Mein richtiger Vater hat zwar versucht Umgangsrecht für mich zu bekommen aber dass hat nur gebracht, dass ich angefangen habe nicht bei ihm sein zu wollen weil ich mindestens 10 mal vor Gericht war deswegen. Ich bin 22f und so froh dass ich daheim ausgezogen bin. Du solltest das Selbe für dich in Erwägung ziehen und ihn einfach aus deinem Leben streichen.
PS: Vatertag war gestern? Ups...

exactly how I would explain it - but to add something I found extremely interesting - I can tell that two opposing colors like red and green are vastly different yet my eyes confuse them in close proximity, although I can tell two colors are similar like orange and pink, yet I can tell a marked difference when they are in close proximity.

I respectfully disagree. I don't want to jump to conclusions but it may be because you have never worked for a large retailer (at least in a management capacity).
Does the HQ care? Maybe, maybe not, in the end it doesn't matter. However, the store manager 100% cares. Righteous or not, their bonus is straight up based off the store's performance. Often, it's more than half their salary so they have huge incentive to put their "A" players on the floor.
However, legal / regulation concerns influence rational corporate decision making because they have real costs. If they are penalized for OT hours, less OT hours. If they are penalized for FT / PT ratio, less FT and more PT. It's not the choice they WANT to make, it's the choice they HAVE to make. Literally, the only other option is to raise prices to the consumer. You can say they can sacrifice profit but the average profit margin for grocery stores, for example, is 1.3%. (Ok, yes, I chose a known low margin retailer on purpose and some have higher margins...see Apple)

OT pay is a TAX on the regular consumer.

Here we go again, making things seem worse than they actually are... If anyone took the time to READ the act ([which is here by the way]( you can clearly see that this "comp time" is completely voluntary. It even says so explicitly in 2.B.ii:
>[Comp time can only be issued if the employee] entered into knowingly and voluntarily by such employees and not as a condition of employment.
This means two things: one is that if the employee doesn't want to deal with the comp time, then they don't have to, and if the employers cannot force them to take comp time over overtime pay.
And before you all freak out about how if they don't take the comp time they won't get overpay, in section 1 it says that comp time can only be awarded if they give up the overtime. So if you don't take the comp time, you get overpay...
Honestly, while this bill does indeed reduce the incentive for hard work, it does not do what the OP is talking about.
EDIT: Also section 2.B.i says that the employee HAS to accept the comp time in place of the overtime. So yeah,
|
the OP is overreacting.

Did anyone [LOOK UP THE FUCKING BILL!?!?]( The terms are pretty clearly stated and hard to fuck up. You must be employed by your employer for over 12 months for you to even be eligible for this. You also get 1.5x the amount of paid time off that you worked. It sounds more beneficial than hurtful. If you haven't read the bill for yourself, then read it. It's short and good to read.

Ok, way late to the game, but I pray my comment gets notice. I worked for a major retailer in the US.
Now, I want you to think about a prototypical sales associate that is employed full time and highly valued by the company. They are paid wages above the average associate and are known as a valued contributor. Now imagine this employee is a single mother of two and she wants to work more than 40 hours a week to make ends meet. In fact, let's assume she HAS to work 50 hours a week to pay the bills. What will she do?
Fact, big box stores spend thousands of labor hours each month. Fact, they employ hundreds of associates. Fact, given a flexible pool of PT and FT associates employed to invest thousands of hours per month, retailers have every economic incentive to limit OT hours as they cost more than regular time hours.
Reddit Surprise Fact, store mangers would FAR prefer to have the single mother who needs the money to work 10 additional hours in a week because she is reliable and produces results. However, laws on OT necessitate they limit one of the few controllable expenses they have, payroll. In the end, they are making rational economic decision.
The horrible part of all this is that this single mom, who HAS to work 50 hrs a week now HAS to get a 2nd job which may or may not pay the same and may or may not be flexible enough to comfortably co-exist with her 40 hr schedule.
In the end, obsolete 40 hr work week rules prevent HER from making the CHOICE to work more than 40 hrs a week. Plus, she's STILL working 50 hours a week, just more inconveniently! I would far rather let someone choose the amount of hours she wants to work per week than DICTATE it. You want to cap a week at 40 hours for full time status, fine. But, OT pay only hurts those that need it most. Why can't they choose?
My experience is those that rail against an elimination in OT pay are those that never truly experienced hardship. They may have thought they have but they've never had the hard conversations with the above mentioned single mother explaining the REAL reason why I can't set a standard OT schedule. Sounds good on the net but it ain't real life.

If you go through with the wedding and then realize it was a mistake, it was still a wasted wedding that you paid for, plus you then have to go through the divorce process. To me that seems like a much worse option than deciding that you might not be ready for this/may never be ready and trying to see if you can get back any of your deposits if possible.
Sex is a major part of life, one that may eventually cause one or both of you to resent the other. If you can't make something as foundational as sex work for both of you, then you don't work.
I hope that it is just stress getting to her and that you are able to come to an understanding where she knows what you need, and you know how to make her happy but you also have to know to take care of yourself first. If you feel like this is something you need in life, you have to be honest and upfront that it is not negotiable. If she is unwilling to do this for you then she may not be the one for you.
It may sound self centered to be putting yourself first like this, but it really is important that you do. If it means as much as I think it does to you, you won't be happy for long with always selling for what she is willing to do, when she's willing to do it, and she will continue to be upset with you for pressuring her to do it, which will cause her do it even less in the future.
It is a viscous cycle and the only way to break free is honesty upfront about what both of you need in a relationship. It is possible that she doesn't know how badly you need it, and she will want to do it because it is something that makes you happy. I know that making my partner happy makes me happy, even on days where I don't manage to finish.
Sorry for the wall of text but I hope it helps.

LP gains are based on the MMR (elo) distance to next promotion series.
Player 1 @ Silver 1 has 1600 MMR, 70 LP.
Player 2 @ Silver 1 has 1500 MMR, 90 LP.
Gold 5 is 1550 MMR.
Player 1 wins a game and gains 30 LP -> enters series. He already had the MMR needed for promotion series so the system really wants him there.
Player 2 wins a game and gains 3 LP and +15 MMR, is now at 1515 MMR of the 1550 needed for series. Distance to series 35 MMR, but only 7 LP. Next games will be worth the around the same +3 LP, +15 MMR for wins. Losses can be like -15 LP, -15 MMR, but it doesn't mean much.
The weak LP gains like player 2 has are common in division 1 of EVERY league. That's because the MMR distance between leagues is greater than the distance between divisions within the league. Only at Diamond 1 the LP truly shows the distance to promotion series I think.
|
Shit LP gains are caused by MMR distance to series being much greater than the LP would indicate. Keep playing and winning more than 50% and you will get to promotion series, sooner or later. The MMR change for losses and wins are the same, it's just that the LP changes aren't for some reason
Riot RoboLions (User Experience Designer): "If you have a low MMR and you are getting ready for a promotion (you are let's say at 90 points) then the league system will drop your LP gain so that once you reach 100 LP and you start your promotional series your MMR will be up to par with the next Sub-division / Division."

Lets talk about your press;
You need to start the lift by squeezing your butt as hard as you can, activate your abdominals and press up. You dont have enough tension in your core to support your lift and instead your overextend your lower back before every rep.
Be explosive, you need to press up as hard as you can.
I cant really see it from this angle but it looks like your feet are too close together, you want them shoulderwidth apart or a little bit more.
Dont push your head through your arms at the top, the bar is to far forward, you overextend your lower back and are at risk of falling backwards if you do that. Arms over your ears or a little bit in front.
(Not everyone will agree with me on this).
Why are you holding the bar for so long at the top?
Dont shrug up your shoulder at the top.
|
You are basicly doing it wrong entirely. Reps need to be explosive and fast, no holds at the top or long waits at the bottom. Core needs to be tight, butt squeezed, bar stays over your feet not behind it. Feet shoulderwidth apart.

I think you are on a different page here. I view subjective morality as the idea that depending on culture/circumstance/etc people view things to be good or bad. Essentially I subscribe to moral relativism, as I believe morals are an invented concept with no real absolute basis.
You just said morality "persists because it makes us more likely to thrive." Therefore, it has a natural basis. If you are now claiming it does not have a natural basis, then you must provide another reason why nearly every social organism has some moral code. Are bison and ants just randomly doing moral things?
>For example, it was not universally 'bad/wrong/evil' for Aztecs to make human sacrifices or Jews to circumcise babies, although many would consider those things morally wrong today. Their feeling that in their society they were doing the right thing is as valid/invented as our feeling that they were wrong to do so.
You are not arguing a matter of principle, but of data. The Aztecs sacrificed people because they thought the gods favored such actions and would reward society latter in the future. Thus, the negatives outweighed the positives. Today, people generally believe that gods do not reward human sacrifices and, thus, they have been stopped.

Yes, it's one of the reasons I'm thinking of leaving the subreddit. We'll all complain about the new generation of stuff because we've romanticized our childhoods to hell and back. Doesn't matter how old we get, nothing will ever outbeat our old favorites and we'll continue to wrongfully say they were the best things ever created. It's a logic fallacy.
Let's be realistic for two seconds. What has xbox done for us lately? Remember [this]( Now it's [this]( Where's my game? Oh... oh, right there. I couldn't find my Call of Duty window amongst all the Justin Beiber ads.
Even if they did show you BOTH, why would you still be interested in supporting a company that has no interest in keeping your privacy, well... private? Always on camera and voice recording? Always needs a connection to the internet? Let's PLEASE not forget about good ol EA and Sim City.
All Microsoft is interested in is purchasing you. Years of market analysis have taught them which demographic to target to make the most money. If you don't care for the product, THEN DON'T BUY IT. After reading 100+ of the same exact arguments on my front page today, I think it's time something is said.

I don't think it is a stretch to say that war has always, to some extent, been a means for business. War creates industry - arms and supplies have to be supplied for the army, new workers have to fill in for others who became soldiers. Notice how the Great Depression ended as WW2 began (other factors involved, but this was one of them - The New Deal might have had some effect in the US, but there was not time to truly see or understand what that effect was). War has never been about settling differences, its about "You have something I want, and I'm going to take it from you." Most, if not all, of the long standing hostilities between groups came to be due to competition for resources: Land, food, gold, oil, and so on.
After fighting with a group of people for years, perhaps so long that family members you never met died in the fighting, can quickly go from "I want those people's stuff." to "I want those people's stuff, and I want to kill them because they killed my family/countrymen when they came to steal those people's stuff." The bitterness of competition and loss turns into hate for the other groups, which might lead you to think that war is for settling differences, but its not. Its about taking stuff for yourself, stopping those who might be able from taking your stuff, and then writing history as the victors to say that we are goodness and justice and that the enemy is evil and that is why we won. So no, war never changes.

None of what I said has to do with what a conservative is. Okay, so technically 'solve' may be the wrong word choice, but sabotaging the process and making things worse is something they shouldn't do either.
It is a politicians job to organize his or her country into being a good place to live. This involves both leadership and compromise. Any politician that puts his personal views ahead of doing his job is simply being an arrogant prick. Yes, it is great if you can stay true to your ideals and minimize government, reduce carbon emissions or even make sure you get re-elected. However, if nothing ever gets done because you play the adult version 'let's stand in the middle of the road so that people cannot pass through here so that my friends will give me a high five', then you aren't minimizing government, or even doing job as a part of the government. That politician is being a pathetic crybaby that is upset he lost the election.
Democrats have their moments too, so this is definitely not unique to either republicans or conservatives. During Bush, many people hated the man for a multitude of reasons - history will have to judge whether he was crazy, correct or something inbetween. But during all that time, I cannot recall anything close to the extent of the fingers-in-ears (and occasional raised middle finger) attitude Republicans have shown Obama ever since he became President. And yes, Obama also has questionable moments that beget him the ire of the people - but for every valid argument on why Obama's policies suck, there's another case of fingerpointing towards Obama where Republicans went back on their word, prevented bills from passing, or did something else they'd like him to have the blame for.

One thing I noticed years ago when I was a civilian working amongst the military:
The privates and sergeants and all of the other low level people treat you as just another person.
The mid-level officers like captains and lieutenants treat you like crap, because you're just a civilian.
The colonels and generals go out of their way to help you do your job.
I was just some random hippy in a tie-dye shirt delivering mail in the Australian equivalent of the Pentagon, and the head of the ADF basically flattened himself against the wall so I could push my little mail trolley past him in the corridor.

I was a nuke on an aircraft carrier, enlisted. We had a little bit of a cocky streak just because of our training. Officers were respected, but during drills / flight ops we could tell them to fuck off if we didn't agree. Most officers in our dept were pricks.
Except one. He was a new Ltjg. Didn't know where he came from and such. I assumed he had a late start or a masters because he looked a little older. I was having trouble doing a repair on a thing for a reactor coolant pump, this guy was walking around with a chief getting ready to start qualifying.
We were in the gulf to it was hot and we all had our coveralls rolled down. Dude asked if I needed a hand. I said sure and he helped out, getting dirty and shit. I said thanks and he saved me about a half hour of sleep. We went to close out the fix, rolled up the coveralls and this dude had his enlisted sub warfare pin on. One of the best officers I ever worked with, on watch and just part of the dept.

I am by no means fast at leveling, but I have leveled 5 characters to 60 in under 18 hours played, some with only 1 heirloom and guild xp bonus.

any character can be fast at leveling, for the most part

I'm not completely up and up on all the details, but here are the basics.
The Turkish government planned to build a shopping mall over Taksim Gezi Park in Taksim Square (Istanbul.) Some Turkish people have compared the park to Central Park in New York and Hyde Park in London. I'm not sure if this is an accurate comparison. Just reporting what I've seen.
A large group of (from what I know) peaceful protesters occupied the park to stop this shopping mall project. The Turkish government sent out a police force whose violent force was unwarranted. Tear gas and pressurized water were involved. Things escalated quickly.
Now, it's no longer about the park. It's about the brutality that these civilians who were (originally) peacefully protesting endured. It's about the mass rains of tear gas all over cities and towns. It's about the Turkish media almost completely blacking out the events on their news programs. [Its about ridiculous, arrogant statements made by a PM who doesn't seem to give a shit about his people.](
It's about a government, like so very many in this world, that's not nearly afraid of their people enough.

Wall of text below:
A lot of people believe the election was rigged. In at least two voting booths, it was proved. I believe those votes were discarded but a re-election was not held. It's a bit like the Al Gore thing: It is thought that there was something fishy, yet nothing 100% proven.
He is also always aiming his campaigning at the low-income bracket, giving them small things right before the election. Most educated people believe this is fooling the people and think of it as bad form for a campaign.
Other than that, as it is in most other countries, it is more about the man himself than the title. Him and his "gang" have ties everywhere at this point. Whatever position this guy is in, is the powerful one. They're even changing laws to make that easier (such as a law that passed a year or two ago about allowing the government to interfere with the judicial process).
You can see how powerful he is by just knowing this: Does anybody know who the Turkish president is, or what he's doing right now? Nope. Nobody cares. When other countries' president meet the Turkish government, they meet the PM because he is the one in charge because he is Erdogan, not due to his position.
|
People believe the election was rigged. The PM title is irrelevant; whatever position Erdogan is, that is the "powerful" one. If he were to be president tomorrow, we would never learn the name of the next PM. Erdogan would still be the one to call the shots.

Well, it is a bit unfair to say this perhaps but his campaign depends heavily on the low-income and/or low-education bracket. And these people happen to live in rural areas more due to the status of the country. A lot of small cities or villages don't even have elementary schools or doctors, etc. That is why if they want to be educated or get a good job they often move to "the big city" somewhere in the west.
From what my friends have been telling me (I am not in Turkey at the moment), the protesters are a huge mix of religion, ethnicity, education level, etc.
So the protesters aren't CHP-ers really. In fact, when the CHP leader attempted to do a speech at the protest location people told him not to come because this is not about him at all.
People just want to be heard. And Erdogan is unwilling to listen to anyone. He doesn't even have the decency to lie and pretend to listen. And on top of that, he insulted the founder(s) repeatedly which just doesn't go over well with anyone, whether they be from the coastal regions or not.
|
At the moment, the protest is not about the CHP or any other party. The people just want a leader who listens (or at least pretends to...) and does not insult his own people.

I let him talk me out of recovering the 2nd hand dining room chairs when we first moved in together (about 6 months after we met). The chairs were from the 70s, bright orangered vinyl with chrome legs/back. I found some fuchsia/black patterned fabric and I was so ridiculously excited to try to DIY it into something nicer. He was less excited about my decorating taste.
Over the years, he was less than excited about most things I wanted to do, but I trusted his opinion for 15 years, thinking that he was right, I was always considered overly-quirky, overly flaky, he only had my best interests at heart, right? I mean, we were trying to be more serious, so of course safer colour palettes were fine. And other things too, like jobs, past-times, hobbies, friends, etc.
The last 6 months I've been trying to rebuild myself after our relationship ended, and I can honestly say I have no idea who I am. He tried to mold me into the person he wanted me to be, and I let him. I now have to live with that. So, yes. If I could, I would go back in time and try to tell that excited young woman that it was totally ok to want that ridiculous fabric and that even if it didn't look perfect, that's ok too.

Its just 70,000 intel chips. Call me when its 100% chinese. Buying a bunch of intel equipment and glueing it together really isn't impressive, especially for a one-party state that can do as it pleases. Funny how you can build neat things when you don't have to worry about real politics, protests, being voted out, the other party calling you wasteful, or any level of accountability.

Except people would rather not pay for that ability, as seen by sales vs price on first gen ps3s against all later and cheaper models
edit for clarification: The early PS3 had full backwards compatibility but needed to include the Emotion Engine (EE) in order to have that capability, because the architecture had changed between the different generations. This is akin to including an entire PS2 inside the PS3 to give it backwards compatibility. Obviously this drove the prices up, the public backlash was huge, and sales were weak. They dropped that function (still retaining PS1 capability though, because why not include it if it doesn't cost you anything) and they were able to drop the price fairly significantly.
It doesn't make sense to sell a PS3 at high price with BC when they can sell the newer PS3 for far less without BC, and consumers can pick up a used PS2 basically anywhere for almost nothing. This is why BC isn't going to be part of the PS4. PS1 emulation isn't an issue, but PS2 will require the EE, and then whatever other chip they'll need to run PS3 games with that cell architecture will be even more expensive. That would all be on top of the new PS4 chip. Including backwards compatibility this way is retarded, if you think about it. The price won't justify that capability. Nobody's going to buy a $800 (hypothetical) PS4 with full backwards compatibility, if the price without it would be like $400 (hypothetical) and they could easily buy both a PS3 and PS2 alongside it for another $200 or less (used).
This is why the streaming games capability is a good idea. It makes all the games from basically every playstation generation available for people that want to play them, without having to invest in any of the older generations. It also ties in with the Vita well (streaming games to their handheld), increasing the game library and making it a more worthy contender as a handheld.
The idea is win/win. I don't understand why you'd hate that they're doing this. I don't know if they're going to be able to implement it well, but this sounds like a really good idea. Plus with persistent accounts (PSN accounts migrating to PS4), presumably this would circumvent anyone ever having to "re-purchase" a Sony game ever again, which is your issue, right? What other system offers that kind of service right now besides (obviously) PC with Steam or Origin?
|
That shit ain't free (not for Sony and definitely not for us), and most consumers would rather have a streaming option to play older games rather than be forced to pay a premium up front to include the PS3 and PS2 chips in the PS4 as well... especially for people that already have a PS2 or PS3, or can easily pick one up for basically nothing nowadays (and even less once PS4 drops).
edit2: Just looked through the first page of your comment history...I can't say I'm that surprised actually. I'm kind of regretting typing up all that info for you now. In love with Nintendo, hates Sony. I'm a little surprised that you're complaining about having to "re-buy" games, when Nintendo locks in your purchases to the console rather than an account. I love Nintendo and plan on getting a Wii U soon as well, so this isn't a knock on them but...isn't that a shittier business practice than what Sony's offering and has offered through PSN? It's not even a physical parts cost like Sony or Microsoft is dealing with. It's literally just work on their accounts infrastructure. The physical discs/cartridges on their consoles/handhelds support BC, but nothing from their online stores... It's basically the same exact situation with the PS3 except switching hard discs for account purchases. The second they decide to switch up their architecture, they're going to face the same dilemma of greater costs with BC vs no backwards compatibility, and that's on TOP of them not letting you keep your purchases for anything you get through their online store.

Video games are no more a waste of time than any other recreational activity. People who don't play any games at all, however, gather their impressions from the media. The picture painted is awful, the media only reports on fringe issues that affect a handful of people in global terms. They hear about gaming addiction, stories with names like "are games ruining your kids?" In movies and tv the perception is changing, but you still see them trot out this gamer creature which doesn't exist in real life. He says things like bro and epic and wears a t-shirt with pacman or some other pre-cambrian video game character.... God I'm venting, well there ya' go.

Best piece of advice I can give to master a champion, is to understand their potential and to understand their role in a match. I'd recommend you try Nidalee in all three of her plausible roles to understand her damage potential more and to understand positioning while in both human and cougar form. Itemisation within the lane and outside of the lane also differs in nearly every game, so try to create your own builds instead of following guides. Take it slowly though. With different champions, last hitting becomes easier/harder. You need to learn the best ways of last hitting while under pressure (under a turret) and the best way to clear a wave. You need to learn match ups in certain lanes, and when you can roam the map. I could probably talk for days about this, but "mastering" a champion covers many aspects of the game.
|
Mastering a champion requires extensive knowledge of what your characters role in a match is, itemisation, how to last hit under pressure and positioning in teamfights. All of this will be learnt through playing the champion as much as possible.

I have to disagree with you, after reading the points Major Nelson shared, I'm more dissuaded from purchasing the Xbox One. I consider myself a 'collector gamer' (Is there a term for that? Idort?) I like to think I'm rather unbiased when it comes to brand in gaming. I own the Saturn, Dreamcast, Playstation 1, 2 and 3, N64, Panasonic Gamecube, Wii, and U. Xbox, and the 360. I've been on XboxLive since they were in beta, I was one of the people that paid $50 for the beta kit. It's my main hobby, I love it. Let's go point by point;
> MS understands the current opinion of Xbox and they are working to "educate" the masses but it doesn't sound like they are considering changing the DRM strategy in any way, including the 24 hour check-in.
So he didn't think his thought that Microsoft is trying to educate the masses was going to be told to the public, so he wasn't thinking about PR when he said it. I will excuse his crudity, but that's still not a positive point. They are trying to make a positive spin of something we don't like. It's not going to work. We don't like draconian DRM, and Microsoft can't change that with "education".
>The 24 hour check-in was not designed as DRM but as a system to update your game library for when you give games to friends. I pointed out that they're now limiting game trades and asked why would it be a "feature" to update so often? He didn't have a good answer. They don't seem to understand that it doesn't matter WHY they have the check-in, the fact that it exists is a disadvantage to consumers.
You already disagreed with Nelson for me. Thanks.
>MS will likely implement a system where you can order/buy game discs at any time, and they will "activate" the game on release date, thereby locking down leaks and people playing early.
Why bother with a disk based distribution system? The more I hear about the Xbox One, the more I wonder why they haven't just dropped physical media all together. They already require you to be online all the time, have to trade in at participating retailers, and have digital versions on launch day. They can simply use the system they have now with whatever retailer and just be on the system it self, you can deactivate your game and get some credit on the online store, offer rental prices where you get to play the game for say a week and they ask if you wan to pay extra to keep the license forever.
>MS considers the PS4 an "Xbox 360 version 2" in that the PS4 doesn't have many of the social and multi-tasking features the Xbone does. It doesn't seem like MS really believes they are in competition with Sony at this point. He did say that MS considers this point in time to be a "jump ball" in that neither system is backwards compatible and users may easily switch platforms.
But it does have the social features, the share button, streaming through uStream, cross game chat... it can't multitask, (they could add it, but they would have told us by now that it can at launch) but that's that's just gravy on the cake. I don't need to browse the web while watching something on my gaming console, especially if the input on the Xbox One is anything like the 360. While both systems are not backward compatible, Sony has at least promised us GAIKAI and a digital library of old games.
>MS believes that while the PS4 may have slightly faster graphics RAM, the graphics RAM in the PS4 will run hotter and harder to cool. They also believe that the PS4 hardware is not as optimized as the Xbone and thus the systems will be evenly matched or Xbox will perform better.
If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.
>MS understands Don Mattrick of MS is making MS sound even worse and they're trying to essentially get him to stop talking.
I loved his face in the interview where he told us to stick to the 360.
>Regarding military personnel playing consoles: PS3/PS4 isn't allowed on DoD networks so they're not worried that military members will switch to PS while on overseas deployment.
But that's not the reason they are complaining about the Xbox One. Because even if the PS3/4, or even the Xbox360 cannot connect to the internet, they still function as a gaming console. The Xbox One would be a $500 Bluray player.
>I told him that although I love Xbox and XBL, if all my friends move to PSN, I'd be going too. He said they understood that and were going to be working to actively change the messaging and marketing campaigns.
Trying to keep us with advertising, not with actual solutions.
>MS isn't super concerned at this point because they don't think buying decisions are being made yet. Pre-orders, yes, but until people have the consoles, the war won't really start.
Stage 1, Denial. Ok, true, the war is not over and they haven't lost, but the war has already started, and they've already lost a battle.
>The two free games per month you'll get as an XBL member are yours to keep, unlike the many free games on PSN, which you can't play after you cancel your PSN membership.
A good point, but that has nothing to do with the Xbox One. The 2 free games will be on my 360.

I disagree with Major Nelson, who make it sound like Microsoft is in denial about the mistakes they have made and the consumers just don't get their vision.

The cool thing about them implementing skin tiers is that they can also use it as an excuse to not improve old skins. i.e if they improved it they'd have to charge more because it would count as a new sound pack, which according to them (Riot) would increase skin price.

Go for it. Just shadow the breaks and make sure that you two don't do anything either of you would regret.
Sure, she's divorcing her husband, but she might not want to sleep with you until the proceedings are final. Use the road trip as a chance to rebuild and fortify everything as opposed to a chance to get freaky in 10 different states.
Of course, if by 'Barely afford it' you mean 'It's going to put me right in the poor house'... then don't. I mean, this sounds like a good chance for you to reconnect, but you don't want to be completely fucking broke on the off chance it doesn't work.

I think you need to take into account historical context, and try to put yourself into someone else's shoes. There is nothing intrinsically inherent about the black/African race that caused their disproportionate share in social problems.
Let's go through some of your arguments one by one, and look at each given the context of what many African Americans experience:
"Look at low-income neighborhoods and tell me which race you see the most of."
Yes, it is a fact that African Americans are disproportionately poor. But keep in mind that the historical context for most of them is slavery and being counted as 3/5 of a person. That there was still institutionalized segregation half a century ago. That there was and still is racism in hiring practices. That banks practiced redlining.
If African Americans established this country, and European Americans were brought over as slaves and faced these same barriers and systematic widespread inequalities I imagine they'd also be disproportionately poor.
"Look at testing scores in schools with predominately black students." "Look at the ratio of African Americans who attend college in contrast to white people."
Look at public education in the U.S. Keep in mind that there is extreme geographical segregation by race in the U.S., and that African Americans are disproportionately poor. Keep in mind that children attend the school that they are geographically zoned for, and that schools are funded by local taxpayer dollars. Children are disadvantaged from a very early age through no fault of their own. Black students don't have lower testing scores or lower attendance rates in college because of anything inherently inferior about their black-ness. Many simply have the misfortune of being born in the wrong neighborhood and zoned for under-funded schools with abysmal graduation rates.
Also, because of racism and crappy social environment, people don't expect them to succeed and it may not even cross their mind that college is an option. This expectation is enormous. It means an incredible amount for children to see people like themselves in positions of power with an education, to be given the expectation that they can and should go to college, for it to be normative that they go to college. A lot of privileged white students go to college, because it's default. They don't even think about the decision or consider not going, and may not even have to work hard to get there and don't have to pay for it. But imagine if no one in your family has ever gone to college, no one has ever talked to you about college as an option, and you are poor and believe college is expensive and your alternative is to work.
I've already written a wall of text, so I won't get into the other stuff, but I can if you want to.
|
you CAN'T ignore historical context, and the very different social situations that people inherit that automatically put them at an advantage or disadvantage in life.

The issues you state (violence, lack of motivation, dependency) are results of history and culture rather than race . I think slavery and racism are the root causes of the problems of black culture, rather than black people being inherently inferior.
Any race of people who have been systematically enslaved and oppressed are likely to be generally unsuccessful, and being raised in poor conditions with poor education leads to self-perpetuating social issues like the violence and irresponsibility you mentioned.
As for black people in places like Africa, I think their problems are a result of the massive destruction caused by European colonisation, and the resultant power vacuum when it ended leading to weak leadership, along with the poor quality of much of the land in Africa - difficulty in growing food leads to poverty and conflict.

I am disappointed that CNN and FOX and who knows else is treating this as news. This appears from the start to be a fringe conspiracy movie that probably just includes interviews with a few investigators that may have personal questions or issues. This is actually a story that I have a very small but ( I always thought) potentially interesting connection to.
My engineering internship with Boeing began in July of 1996. I was hired to work on the USAF E4B program, a 747-200. One of my more interesting meanial jobs was to go through old 1960s and 70s studies on 747s looking for relevant info for the various projects we were working on. Boeing has (or had) huge warehouses full of categorized boxes with these old reports in it and a big filing system that was just starting to get computerized and searchable. It was quite difficult to find specific documents. Anyway one of my tasks was to find reports and studies about electrical wiring through fire hazard areas likely to have trapped fuel vapors. I don't remember all the details but in my searches I found a report from the 70s on 747 fuel tank wiring and their related fire hazards. I was very excited when Boeing HQ asked anyone in the company for twa 800 related info and I, being a brand new intern, had what appeared to be a very relevant document so I mailed it off to the requester and never heard anything again.
I remember some time later their was a claim on the news that Boeing was sitting on damning evidence or something but I can tell you that it was just dumb luck that I happened to be looking through that box at the time so I think its very unlikely that Boeing had other info that they were aware of but didn't reveal it. It was much more likely that other related reports or studies were truly just lost.

There's another aspect to this that may also play a part in this: When there's 2 or more men involved in a sexual encounter (3-some, orgy, whatever :D) they will naturally become more aroused - produce more semen - and thus be more likely to get the woman pregnant. I believe there's a mechanism that can actually supercharge sperm simply due to the presence of another male (forgive me, I read an article about this quite a while ago, and I don't have a link or better details)
More arousal equals getting off harder, and the cuckold may be getting off on this (even though he's taking a back seat)

Going on 4 years here with my husband. We dated for 2 years, got engaged, and married about a year later. (We were friends in high school if you're wondering why/how we got engaged so soon)
At first, we were honesty having sex once, sometimes even twice EVERYDAY. As the relationship grew to about a year, it went down to about 1-2 times a week. A lot happened in these last 4 years. (Our relationship has had A LOTTTTT of ups and downs.) more ups though(: a couple reasons are at play here:
He lived with his parents, and I lived with my grandparents, so we never had an actual place of our own that I felt comfortable having sex at.
I was recovering from a horrible accident still when we got together, and my mood was constantly changing. I would go from happy to depressed in less than an hour sometimes. It was all about getting my emotions under control.
Two summers again, he was offered an internship with a company really far from our hometown, and we finally had a place of our own for 8 months. That was the start of our awesome sex life. I'd have to say that summer was the best possible opportunity for me to really understand how much I loved sex haha.
Fast forward to last year.... We moved to the town where he was offered his internship and got our own apartment FINALLY! We have sex honestly on average 5 days a week. Sometimes it's more/less depending on my work/school schedule(currently first year in college!!!) woot woot!
|
at first everyday, then dropped down to 1-2 times/week, now about 5 times/week. I didn't realize until now how fast time has flown these past 4 years!! Wow.

I can relate. My ex, who I was with for 12 years (married 8) used to hound me for sex. He ended up cheating on me and left me after we were married for 3 years and our first child was 9 months old. I didn't know why I didn't want sex at the time, but looking back it was probably because of what an asshole he was. Fast forward, I'm with the love of my life, have sex practically every day and would love to have it multiple times a day if I could.

The thing people don't understand is he got put behind on lee sin very early. Lee early game is his strong point, but at this point he was too behind. Lee's mid game isn't good at all if you're behind and his late game, even if you're 6 item, is trash.
So at that point lee is a gambling play maker. He had to try and make plays otherwise lee is a useless champ (does no damage and once he goes in he's in for good)

Dangers of excessive protein ... include hyperaminoacidemia, hyperammonemia, hyperinsulinemia nausea, diarrhea, and even death"]( But it depends on how much over you are, and other factors. A bit of extra load on the kidneys isn't a problem for most people, but preexisting kidney disease or a tendency to kidney stones changes the equation.
Fats/carbs: too many carbs will crowd out other nutrients, and could result in excess energy consumption and obesity. Fats: I suspect this is complicated, but beyond some level, the gut can't absorb them all. Vitamins/minerals: too many to generalize, but some are deadly in overdose. Don't assume anything is "just flushed from the body".

I agree! When I started watching what I ate and taking walks my husband didn't join me. Now that I've lost 20 lbs and he's lost 10 by cutting sodas, eating smaller portions, and not keeping cookies and candy in the house he sees that he can be in control of his weight.
The day before yesterday I asked him if he would walk with me in the morning. He gave me a wishy washy answer. I told him fine, I was walking in the morning, if he wanted to join me I would love to have him along. In the morning we both went walking :) Once we got home and showered we had sex, so like 2 workouts!
I think I'm going to try and keep us on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday walking schedule until we're ready to kick it up to more/different exercise.

get healthy for yourself, either he'll join you, or he won't...if he's like my husband no manner of nagging, bitching, or whining will make him do anything he didn't want to do in the first place :)

I had a very similar experience, except it was my friend who ks'd my penta. We were playing 5s in normal queue and I was adc Ashe. At some point we were pushing mid and I was just sitting back during a team fight auto-attacking. Enemy has been slain... Double Kil... Triple kill... QUADRA Kill... and there last person was running back behind their inhib turret with like 1000 health. Our cho hits a Q, I auto-attack, and then
FEAST he ksed my penta when I was one or two auto attacks away. I was so pissed I sold all my items and just got max CDR and AP so I'd just spam arrows every 40 seconds for the rest of the game.

1-2 autoattaqcks away, got my penta ks'd by a Cho'gath feast. Trolling ensued.

Not much of a story but interesting IMHO.
Woke up on a Sunday at 4 am.
Polished of pint of tequila and ~half a fifth of Jim Beam (I was at the peak of my alcoholism).
Met with friends for weekly breakfast.
Went to ATM since it was my turn to pay. With drew $100.
440,006,XXX in my checking account.
WTF.
Showed off my receipt to some friends who advised me to flee the country.
Took out 400 dollars from each ATM in town (about twenty so 8k).
Placed cash into my floor safe.
Finished getting drunk and dreamed about whether I could get a cahiers check or wire transfer and flee to Mexico and buy a new identity.
Sobered up looked up laws regarding how long until I could legally keep the cash etc.
Few days later I received a call to come in to bank. Deny deny deny. Bank manager mentions legal charges if I dont return money, call lawyer (keep a lawyer on retainer folks 75 dollars plus $10 a week is worth it). Give back cash and receive account balance minus remainder of car loan in cashiers check and signed paperwork for "closing my account".

Texting to replace calling is annoying and pretty immature, IMO. I'm 22 and I call people out all the time for not knowing when one or the other is appropriate.
Continuous conversation? Call.
Sporatic talking throughout the day? Text.
Time sensitive question? Call.
Not? Text.
I can't get my head around people who are constantly texting. It's so slow, impersonal and just shows you haven't built any meaningful relationship skills.

The problem with free market economics in modern day life has to do with scarcity. In the free market system, a consumer depends entirely on their employment for their economic survival. However, the prospects of employment are changing. We can expect entire fields which employ tens of millions to disappear over the next several decades. These are not educated working positions; and those laborers will have extreme difficulty acquiring the skills required to scratch a living when the economy is already overloaded with workers. So, how do we manage a huge unemployment wave without destabilization of society? I don't know. But free market principles will most certainly not aid us when that time comes.
Secondly, the flaw with privatizing government roles revolves around quality and price. My primary problem with privatization is that some social services should not be focused on profit, as these services are necessary to modern life and their quality would be reduced by privatization. I'm speaking of course about healthcare and education. Health care should be a human right, not an industry. Gouging people for health care (rather than charging at cost, or using a single-payer system) is immoral beyond words. Secondly, the ludicrous cost of education will do nothing but damage the economy in the future, while a select view make a profit. Education should be a human right, not dependent on the economic choices of your mother and father.

Free market systems maximize short term profits , but at the cost of sacrificing long-term well-being. Individuals tend to be self-centered and they work to maximize their own happiness, which typically entails using up as many resources as they can possibly get their hands on.
Because many resources are non-renewable (such as fossil fuels,) free market systems inherently over-consume these resources, causing major problems such as pollution, and giving rise to shortages in the future. The problem is that no one is paying the [externality costs]( - you need a government in order to effectively force people to pay the costs associated with the externality, thus achieving an efficient economy.
Therefore, free market systems have two fundamental problems: inherent inefficiency due to lack of consideration given to externalities, and inherent overconsumption due to lack of consideration given to future generations.
A strong government can fix both these problems (which is different than saying that they currently do fix these problems, but that's a different discussion.) Free market systems are only efficient if you ignore externalities and assume perfect information, and even then they are only efficient in the short-term, not the long-term.
|
Free markets are focused on the present and therefore overconsume non-renewable resources, and they lack mechanisms to deal with externalities. (See my CMV

Here is what I have come up with after thinking through this a bit this afternoon while daydreaming in a CPR re-cert class:
I am troubled by the shared understanding of "SS" between the two. I do not think that someone who simply has wild parties would be in the business of using "SS". I think that "SS" used here is intended to mean "Strip Show". I further believe that this bar manager offers his female employees the opportunity to earn extra money by having them strip at private parties he hosts.
I think she has done it before, and will therefore NEVER engage this mythical HR department.
I think that she has done it maybe once or twice before, and felt intimidated by the number of men at the party on the previous occasion. This is why he reassures her that there will only be a few men there.
I think the party was cancelled because the guys who booked it, likely for a birthday party or bachelor party or whatever, decided to do something else, or perhaps couldn't cover the $500 or so that the manager likely charges for after-hours private parties with provided booze and strippers.
I do not think that she is expected to have sex with the clients, but rather the manager after the after-hours party. I think this expectation is likely born of her having done so previously, likely during the vegas vacation where he leveraged his GF to bang her by portraying it as a safe environment for her to perhaps explore some latent interest in women.
Running unlicensed strip shows is standard exploitation of entertainment regulations. Pimping hos is a whole nother level of jail time.

these are the conclusions that I think are most likely.

It was dismissed. That is there were no charges to be brought if it wasn't for the Parent's of Trayvon and the Attorney Crump (he, the media, and other fucking leeches like al sharpton are the ones to be blamed, imo).
They solicited Rachel Jeantel (aka Diamond) for days thinking she was underage and needed her mothers permission. Her mom got sick of her daughter dodging the calls and just handed the phone to them.
This began the shit storm we see today where Rachel Jeantel has lied on several levels as admitted on stand on two days of testimony:
This has involved
She was never worried about Trayvon's safety
She had only thought it was a fight
She was shocked he had died DAYS later
She didn't want to get involved
She had many complex levels of trying to get out of the mess
She not getting out of the mess, was then meeting Trayvon's mother and didn't want to tell Trayvon's mother the whole story (i.e., white ass cracker, and Nigger comments that Trayvon said towards Zimmerman)
And the worst she admits she wanted to help Trayvon's mom get George Zimmerman arrested
The last goal is the only one she achieved with 44 days later from the death of Trayvon, Zimmerman was arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder due to her deposition in front of Trayvon's mother.

1) There is no record of him ever using that word, and it isn't right for you to use it, even if supposedly quoting someone. There is no hard evidence that Zimmerman's actions were motivated by racial prejudice.
2) The police did not tell him anything of the sort, the dispatcher advised him to stay in the vehicle without having any real authority to do so.
3) According to evidence presented in court, his life was in danger, and the only way available to him of neutralizing the threat was to draw and fire.
4) Getting out of the truck was clearly a mistake, but he wasn't doing anything illegal by following Trayvon Martin, either by vehicle or on foot.

I have to admit she has been quite rough on the defense and seems favorable to the prosecution. I am not law student or a lawyer, but have watched the entire case. I assume she has made up her mind already by what I have witnessed because she has literally gone about doing other duties while defense argues their case and will listen intently to the prosecution. She is way snippy at the defense, berated Zimmerman about Zimmerman about testifying and shouted down West for his objections.
If you want the worst example of political mess up is watch the city manager on stand, LOL. He was pure hatred being up there and just shows how much this case was about politics and not about criminal justice system.
Fill you in, he and the mayor had the whole family listen to the 911 tapes without any police presence for the first time. Big fuck up for the police/criminal investigation (though understandable for the compassion aspect). Your not supposed to have people listen to identification in a group setting.
But fuck up none the less as people scrambled to get a piece of the political pie in the case. The Police Chief was Barred from entering the room by the city manager and that's why he got on the stand. Heads will roll in Florida all because people didn't want to believe a 17 year old can be a thug. Which btw, if he graduated highschool he could join the military and kill for the USA.
And, if people are thinking I am being unfair the evidence that has not been allowed in court via the court is huge. Text messages of Trayvon (assumed very likely with 2 passcodes with one being a hidden app) of wanting to buy a gun with several people just 2 weeks prior to the incident. he even talked with "Diamond" about the gun who is Rachel Jeantel, the star witness on the phone with Trayvon. So Rachel is not telling us the whole story...
There is him texting about a fight he had been in and play by play "rounds". So, he was going "Thug", "bad", "Gang" whatever you want to call it. There's other evidence on the net (e.g., likely stolen jewellery, burglary tool, graffiti/tag school lockers, school problems, etc.).
The prosecution got the text messages thrown out because "what does fight even mean?" and the word was "breed" not "bleed" you can't assume that was a typo (I wan't to make the guy breed more). It's family account not Trayvon's personal phone, yaddha yaddh, though it was on him and the profession witness felt without a doubt the text message patterns were all in pattern of a single user -- but whatever.

Expect a Decent Book/movie that does this justice and corrects peoples misconceptions about Trayvon with the real evidence.

As a female US expat in France, I just want to put it out there that IMO this is less about gender inequality than it is about the drawbacks of socialism. There is such a strong sense here of "The government must protect the little guy" that the big guy often gets trampled on, which ends up backfiring on the little guy.
A good example is the housing situation. French rental law is INSANELY protective of the renter. Lease agreements are three years, which prohibits the owner from increasing the rent or kicking the renter out for three years, but the renter can get out with only 30 days notice. If the renter stops paying, it takes at least 6-8 months for the owner to kick them out, even longer during the winter, and even longer if they are disabled or elderly. You can't get back rent once they are kicked out, and because credit scores don't exist here, owners have no way of knowing if renters have done this before and no way to punish them when they do it. As a result, owners are very prejudiced against certain classes of renters, and they require your bank or family to co-sign (which only works if you can provide proof of a certain income level) or you have to put up the full three years of rent in escrow. It can be very difficult to get an apartment in Paris if you are not wealthy or have family connections.
Labor law is similar. It is very difficult to fire someone in France, as well as very expensive to keep them on the payroll (employers pay ~20% of salary in social security charges, another ~20% is withheld from employee), and the law provides so many protections and guarantees for workers. Combine that with the relatively high corporate tax rate, and the anti-business laws, and one bad employee can easily put a company into the red. For a small business, which so many in France are, a woman taking a 26 week maternity leave can literally put them out of business. As a result, employers can be pretty prejudiced about who they hire, particularly with married women.
It's hard for Americans to understand some of this because France is such a different culture from the pro-business, anti-labor legislative atmosphere in the US. For a progressive person, socialism seems really amazing on the surface, and in a lot of ways it truly is, but it has some serious drawbacks as well. I love socialism and I love the French system, but I recognize that it does create barriers for me as a woman and as a business owner.
France is a great place to be an average woman. It's not such a great place to be a highly ambitious woman. But frankly, it's not that great of a place to be a highly ambitious man, either.

Socialism sometimes backfires on the exact people it was designed to protect and creates the exact problems it was designed to solve.

TBH I often face SoloQ player who really hate DuoQ player without any obvious reason. We join and kindly ask "premade with XXX, pref botlane" and Summoner 1 starts "OMFG premades always throw games" and locks heimerdinger with revive and clarity. This happens Silver 1 ELO fairly often.
I seems there is a huge gap between SoloQ and DuoQ players that they keep on blaming each other leading to a vicious circle. As I do only play DuoQ without beeing toxic I can not judge whether most DuoQ's are toxic or not as we never get teamud up with any other.

It seem like you are jumping on the "gg duos always suck" train and the points you make don't really make sense to me. You said that duos tend to be difficult to bargain with, there are several things about this statement that i don't think are true. First of all I don't believe that "most" duos are difficult to deal with, It may seem like it to you because the duos who are cooperative don't announce themselves as duos and thus you go the whole game thinking they are just two normal non-toxic players. Secondly this "difficulty bargaining with duos" is usually because they tend to have first pick and last pick, so yeah they get first choice in which role they take just like any other player would if they so desire. Riot endorsed pick order and so there should be no problem with this. My third issue with your statement is the idea that people are playing roles they "aren't comfortable with". 'A' you shouldn't play ranked if expect to play 1 role every single game, there are always going to be players who have higher pick than you and decide that they want your role, but there is absolutely nothing you can do about that other than politely ask for the role you'd like. Adding to this point, although there is like a tiny bit higher chance that you wont get what you want with a duo, (because if they are uncooperative/want your role there is a 2/5 chance they are higher pick than you as opposed to 1/5) this is hardly a significant enough number to say that duos are a significant problem. Finally your issue with duos flaming seems rather inconsistent with my experiences, although i have definitely played with the type of duo you are describing here, i think that what i have experienced much more is the entire team flaming the duos from the min they make a single mistake making the claim "gg duos always suck" or something along those lines.
In saying all of this I also want to recognize that I have MANY times experienced the types of duos you are describing, my point is just that it's unfair to classify the majority of duos like this just because a small portion rage, flame, and make the game unbearable. If you disagree with any of the points PLEASE feel free to criticize. Hopefully this isn't overly harsh :)

Don't hate on duos so much, only a small percentage of duos rage and exhibit the behavior described above

It's interesting to me that HL people often seem to think that LL people don't care. If you aren't getting anything out of the experience, then it's just work. Therefore, it takes willpower and effort and energy, and that's further assuming the HL person only cares about getting their bits mechanically twiddled by someone who is doing so out of some sort of sense of obligation. It doesn't seem to me that HL people generally have that hard of a time giving themselves orgasms, if that's all they cared about. It's tiring enough simply to do something you're not terribly into, it's at least an order of magnitude more exhausting to try to force yourself to be something you're not. Just like love does not solve all problems, caring only gets you so far when you have finite amounts of energy.
I presume most HL people aren't so self-centered that they don't care whether their partners are enjoying themselves or there willingly. It seems that to HL people, LL people seem like the self-centered ones; but to LL people, it often looks as if the HL people are the self-centered ones. Also, don't underestimate the corrosive effect of perpetually feeling like you're disappointing the other person, and I expect a lot of LL people are perfectly aware that their HL partners are unhappy and they feel terribly bad about it, which just makes the situation worse.

Is it possible that your boyfriend is really upset about the fact that you were raped by your ex and had to let it out? It was a shitty thing to do, but maybe for some reason or another he wanted some perspective on it. I don't know.
As for the friend, he just sounds shitty. My boyfriend's best friend randomly started saying shit about me being controlling, not letting my boyfriend be himself, etc and refused to hang out with my boyfriend whenever I was around. I tried to fix the situation when I found out what was going on by talking to him and asking him what the deal was, and he said that whenever my boyfriend and I fight I overreact or don't let my boyfriend do certain things. I pointed out that he only hears one side of the story, and my boyfriend's friend said that's because I don't tell him my side (uh, he's not my friend, so why would I tell him my side anyway?). I thought that we ended up being okay afterwards, but a few days later he was still keeping up with the not wanting to hang out with me and whatnot. So, fuck him. My boyfriend can (and should) hang out with him as much as he wants, but I have no desire to see him whatsoever.

I have two that ties in favourite, and those are twilight princess and wind waker.
I loved both equally much, but for different reasons.
Wind Waker: The art style is one of a kind (up until the DS games) that really gives the game a soft feel and makes you focus more on the story, which is a great story. It also has an extremely open world that allows you to fight a ton of different enemies and find tons of cool stuff.
Twilight Princess: I liked the really dark and almost morbid nature this game had, and the really intricate story. I feel that this game felt more... realistic in a way, I mean, partly due to the art style and partly because in wind waker you just rolled around a darknut until his armor is down, but in Twilight Princess you had to skillfully avoid the attacks and get through its defence, before even getting a chance at striking the armor.
As well as the addition of Midna. It truly made the whole game several times better. While she may have been essentially just another helper, she was portrayed in such a way, with such an unique personality, that it didnt really matter what she was when you played, and the ending... TP Spoilers

So yeah, I really like those two games.

I would wager that most people here have no interest in Kinect games as a whole, so hearing about one getting delayed is no skin off their nose. Furthermore, even from a general industry-wide perspective on this news story, it really isn't all that interesting for us to engage in conversation about, and if you disagree with that, they you should've rephrased your submitted headline to something that prompted more of a dialogue or asked a question that people would want to share their views on.

First, what is sex? It's basically a penis entering a vagina over and over until ejaculation. Great, that's out of the way.
It seems you have a problem with the implications of sex. The question of "what is sex for?" "Why do we have sex?"
It is hardwired into out male brains to put our junk into other people's junk to procreate. That is the fundamental idea. That is why we are here typing silly questions into brightly lit computer screens. (because our grandparent's grandparents liked to get their collective swerves on)
We are a complicated species. We are very social creatures that evolved to travel in small groups and tribes. We had sex with the few people that were available without much drama. (as we would define drama these days)
Now our monkey brains are privy to all these new people, these enormous social groups, all these options. What is a hairless ape to do?
What you call hedonism is what people do when they realize that we're all just primates that like when their squishy bits are fondled. It's not a negative thing, but an artifact of growing social groups, and honest attitudes.
Some people don't know how to handle themselves sexually. Thats when you get People only in it for themselves. They're called selfish lovers, and you'd best steer clear.
If you see sex as a momentary high, you're doing it wrong. Or rather, with the wrong person. Masturbation is a momentary high. A one night stand is a momentary high. They're not inherently bad things, but you gotta see it for what it is.
Sex with someone you connect with is not momentary. It happens over and over and is pretty great. Even after climax, and you're done for the night, you still feel connected. You just experienced something together, and you've made memories. Sometimes with the right person, hedonism bonds souls.

I would distinguish between the process of sex as it affects our population as a whole and our fellow animals, and the individual activity of two humans having sex.
I think when addressing your claim, it is important to recognize that sex is (at its core) a mechanistic and evolutionary process that did not begin as a means of increasing 'pleasure in life'. The pleasure was a biological motivator that evolved in species because it efficiently facilitated mating. I think because it is something that we have evolved with, to argue that sex and/or sexual desire is an intrinsically good or bad attribute of human life seems to be pointless. Your issue it would seem, is wholly related to the baggage that comes with sex in the modern context as to how it relates to humans individually. You must see however, that sex is more of a biological process, than a concept dealing with pleasure. How an individual frames sex in their own life is meaningless ultimately to what sex is as a whole. It is, at its most critical level, a way that species ensure the survival both of their population as well as their own genetic material. Call me crazy, but I don't think you can really make an argument either way as to whether such an essential part of life is right or wrong in moral sense on such a grand scale. However, I can see where your arguments stems from. I would say that your issue is with how modern humans approach/view sex and courting, and not with the process of sex.
Regardless, I think that the scientific basis of these processes needs to be at the forefront of our minds when discussing these topics. Anyone can put an overtly cynical or romantic (no pun intended) view of sex forward, but these arguments have nothing to do with what reproduction actually is.
How any human approaches the activity of sex is largely determined by how they are taught to approach it. The irrationality and carelessness involved in the modern sexual behaviors in humans, is (I think) a reaction to the puritanical religious ideals that influenced how we modulated sexual behavior in years past.
|
Sex is not inherently about pleasure. We (in our modern post-industrial society) make it that way. Sexual reproduction is older than humans and is as much a part of life as eating and defecating. Because it is this mechanistic urge driven by our need to spread our genes, any attempt to assert that it is good or bad in any context that is not individualized on a person to person basic is foolish. Someone can engage in sex in a way which is careless or selfish, but that says little about sex as a process and more about them as an individual.

First, what is sex? It's basically a penis entering a vagina over and over until ejaculation. Great, that's out of the way.
Sex is more than just a physical act. It is also defined as "attraction drawing one sex toward another, or its manifestation in life and conduct." This attraction & the way it affects us is the issue.
I don't disagree that it is what we are wired to do. I feel the rest of your argument is an "Appeal to nature" fallacy. You claim it is good because it is how we are intended to work. Not compelling to me.
>Sex with someone you connect with is not momentary. It happens over and over and is pretty great. Even after climax, and you're done for the night, you still feel connected. You just experienced something together, and you've made memories. Sometimes with the right person, hedonism bonds souls.
I disagree. Many people experience sex in a momentary way and feel apathetic or even disgust over their mate.
In a marriage, I think people grow tired of sex with each other. I don't see many examples of sex as eternally fulfilling and rejuvenating. It just seems to wear people down. Many married people just stop and don't talk about it anymore. It seems to drive people apart as that person is no longer able to "fulfill them".

Seriously, I mean I know you're 22 and all but please grow the fuck up. You blather on and on in other threads about character and "but but why cheaters are considered low character?!". This is one of the reasons, you didn't even own up to all the shady shit you did to that woman when you finally did confess. Add to that your serious case of over confidence, I wouldn't be surprised if you're even a half decent looking guy, being a total doucher will catch up to you, and very quickly.
The percentage of women that will put up with your bullshit will dwindle so fast in the next few years, as they want to settle down or even just commit to someone who isn't a cheating jackass. Maybe they'll have more life experience and can tell when you're straying, and just generally don't want to be around lying assholes anymore.
Or you could just continually date naive women in their early 20's, never forming a significant relationship (at least on your end) because it seems like most women are just warm places to wet your dick for a few minutes and nothing more.

You are a repulsive human being. I mean that in the kindest way possible, because I did still refer to you as a human being, though I question how a human capable of thinking and feeling could be so damn heartless and ignorant.
Let me tell it to you straight. You don't deserve Sadie, or any girl for that fact. At least for now, you need to really look at yourself. Are you really that dense? Can you really think that you did the right thing when you lied about most of your confession (you only told her about one girl out of FOUR, whom you cheated with multiple times)? Please, do yourself and Sadie a favor, and break up. It's disgusting how you thought it was ok to justify your cheating because she had done similar acts in the past.

You did not do the right thing. You should not be in a relationship with anyone, including Sadie, until you figure out how to stop being such a disgusting individual with equally atrocious morals.
