Furthermore the Mumble is a courtesy and as I have said before it does not fall under the same rules as the subreddit or the server. If you are banned from the subreddit there really is no way to complain, if you are banned from mumble the result is almost nil. You are still fully capable of acting and complaining on the server and within the servers community.
According to the admission of exultant and and other members of the CKC the server's culture is on mumble, furthermore users are encouraged to use it as global chat. to cut the user of from mumble is to forcibly remove a form of communication from them, and cut them off from a section of the community.
However I think the problem is no rules were ever declared for the mumble. why not put in place a similar rule to the sub reddit, in that you cant make channels with raciest names and what not. in addition maybe a warning could be sent to the owner of the channel giving them a warning. after this if they continue to break the rules ban them. If you did this, you could point to the rules, and take action, and most of the community would be accepting of it as ODJ knew the consequences of his actions. Which I feel action was justified in OJD's case, however I am aware how difficult it can be to talk with exultant and can understand the reaction of the community. if there are rules like that perhaps making a way for us to be more publicly aware of them is in order, as have not yet scene them.

I think this whole issue can be solved with some enforced publicly known rules

Heh. So, basically, everything an early-20's attention-seeking girl might do? But with cameras pointed at her 24/7?
Yesterday on the radio, I heard a detailed account of Justin Beiber and Selena Gomez's recent "let's see if we can reconcile" date. It was painful, listening to the DJ tell the world about where they went, how Selena stormed out, how they met up at a hotel later. I can imagine living that life, but it would get old after 2 weeks.

No. I've stated from the beginning that I believe Clash has a share of the blame here. Whether he's 1% or 100% at fault. All I ask is for people to consider the facts which DO point to him having at least some share of the blame.
It's the total ignorance of those jumping on the bandwagon to fully support him that's sad. Just because he's a celebrity.
As a celebrity, you DO NOT publicly settle like this. I firmly believe this second accuser is being an opportunist, BUT for Kevin to settle in the first place and then resign immediately after the second accuser gives a lot of merit to their claims!
The second accuser very well may have had underage sex with Clash, but I doubt that if he did he was ever "troubled" by it.
I believe Clash's willingness to first settle, then resign, means to me that there is incriminating evidence somewhere, and possibly MORE accusers that will be coming forward.
If you were 100% innocent in the first place, WHY settle when as a celebrity you are inviting copycat accusers?
|
Kevin Clash settled AND resigned for a reason .
|
What would you do?
What would any of us do?
What would a celebrity do, who has access to top lawyers and publicists?
Any publicist worth a damn would have advised him NOT to settle after the first accusation was made public . As a celebrity, maybe it would have been worthwhile to settle before it became public to prevent anyone from talking to the press, just to prevent a PR nightmare. That stuff happens all the time, especially with celebrity divorces and things not involving these current allegations.
BUT, once this shit was made public, any publicist or lawyer would have advised NOT to settle if you were innocent, because it gives your public accuser credibility.
Now this second accuser comes along, which again any lawyer or publicist for someone famous and with lots of money would have expected. "Hey, this rich guy is giving out free money!" And copy-cats come out of the woodwork.
How does Clash respond?
He resigns .
Makes you wonder what evidence is out there, how many more accusers will come forth, etc. You might have 100 accusers come forth now, with 99 of them lying through their teeth . All it takes is just one with some evidence.
Which is why if Clash were 100% innocent, he should have never settled in the first place.
|
Clash himself is the only one giving these accusers any credibility through his actions, which on the surface appear very guilty.

My sub and I are still figuring out our power exchange, but I am so happy and lucky to have her. Since this is my first and only relationship with a strong Power Exchange dynamic, I have no one else to compare her to, but I can certainly tell what I like about her submission to me.
1) She is REALLY SMART and WISE. I know this because we talk all the time about every topic under the sun and she never ceases to amaze me with her wit, wisdom, insight and intelligence.
2) She is VERY STRONG, not a wilting wallflower. I have seen her really angry on occasion (not at me). And she doesn't hesitate to speak her mind or stand up for herself.
In spite of both of those points, her intelligence and her strength, she submits to me almost completely. In other words, I find it incredibly hot that someone so smart, capable, competent and strong wants to submit to me and does so ao completely and willingly.
Also, COMMUNICATION. As I said above, we talk all the time. This is in spite of being in a long distance relationship. We talk about everything. There is no hesitation or fear WHATSOEVER on either of our parts to say what we're thinking or what needs to be said. There is nothing worse for a relationship than wondering if you're "allowed" to say this or that, for fear of crossing some line or causing offense. Neither of us do that. Ever.
All that communication has resulted in a deep and profound level of TRUST. And in that trust, she submits to me (almost) completely and utterly.
I am so fucking lucky, I dont even know what to do with myself. To be submitted to and (even better) LOVED by one such as her makes me so very happy.

me = luckiest dom in the world with the best submissive in the world.

I rage all the time. It's part of the process. I've gotten really good at not showing it in game even if someone else is because I found if I at least ignore where my rage is targeted we can get over faster as a team and finish the game with a better chance of a win.
When I'm raging because of a troll rager I bottle it up for a special day where I social engineer their residence and then plan my next trip that goes by them accordingly. I give myself a good two days maybe three to case their place and prepare. Before I ditch I break in silently and kill them then disappear. It helps me actually stand the ragers knowing I will kill them. Not like valve does shit about people telling others to kill themselves and whatnot. Gotta take punishment into my own hands if they ain't doin shit.
Joking aside mute button and play my shit is what I do. Teammate fucked up? Not like I haven't! Also people get mad about the time they "invest" going to a loss. You're gunna play tons more games so what design one hour mean?
5 people walk away investing their time into a loss every game

fuck the match point set your own goals

Stop playing. Seriously, take a break for awhile and come back with a fresh mind. I very rarely rage when I game, but for some reason, FIFA on 360 has cost me several controllers and headsets...even up to the point where I had thrown my actual console across the room. Yeah.
I come from a very competitive background including playing professionally for a short stint (BF2), so I can understand getting frustrated when yourself or someone on your team performs far less than desirable. Honestly, once you get to the point where you're constantly raging, there is no point in playing. For one, no matter what you do, you aren't going to find enjoyment in playing. Secondly, as mentioned already, when you rage, one typically plays worse and makes stupid mistakes which only induce even more rage.
So, back to the original statement. When I would find myself getting overly irritated with FIFA, I would take a break ranging from a couple days up to a few weeks. That typically allowed me to come back and enjoy myself again, and I usually played significantly better when I would come back too.
If it's the language barrier that is driving you crazy (which I really don't think that is the overlying issue), then find a few friends to queue up with.

Take a break, play something else for awhile.

When I was in high school, I went to Morro Bay with some friends. While we were there, we stopped in a small bakery/ice cream shop that had a beautiful, very busty woman in a low cut top behind the counter. After I ordered, I didn't notice at the time that her boobs were exposed when she bent over to get my ice cream and we could see nipples, but I made the loudest, creepiest "mmmmm..." my friends have ever heard. I was just excited for my ice cream. I looked up and seen both my friends trying their hardest to control their laughter and I had no idea why until we left the shop.

I would invent the press, or actually enhace the printing press machines that they have. Then I'd write tons of books about science, physics, medicine from the most basic level to the most advanced material. I am good with physics so I think I could actually teach them a lot (even some quantum physics). I wouldn't stop writing for the rest of my life... because I know I'm right and I don't actually have to investigate things, so I'd just point to them what to test to prove that what I'm saying is true.
Also, as some people have already said, Pasteurization and washing your hands would be some of the first things to teach them.

write everything I know so that others can elaborate on it.

With use of intellect, lies and confidence there isn't much you couldn't do.
First you need to avoid getting to well known at first, you might get killed.
Gather a small base of followers and lead them to victory time and time again and gather a much larger group.
Gain some power in a country and steal it from the current ruler, now lead your country to tech advancements. Transportation, Medicine, Hygiene, Electricity, I could some teach some basic atmospheric science," that would gain me lots of points with the peasants"
Make weapons..... Rifle some barrels you now have much longer reach over everyone in the battlefield, keep it a state secret and train snipers. I could bring tons of knowledge about guns to make improvements
Bring about gorilla warfare, make use of hygiene lessons from the future for wounded.
I mean I could go on but I think any human with some average intelligence could do lots of damage in the past.

I'd be king of the past.

I can't look out the window at night without getting the shivers, because my mom told me and my brothers a story about when she was little.
She was put to bed in her little baby bed thing (can't think of the proper term), facing the Non covered window. In the middle of the night, she woke up her parents, my grandparents, bawling and screaming. They went in there, and there was an old man outside of the window, just staring at her. Apparently there was also a crack in the window he was working on breaking, to take my mother from her crib (got the word)

My friend lent me a box of condoms when I got my first girlfriend. They didn't fit, so we just awkwardly 69'd my "first time".
I immediately went out and bought new condoms (and I called my friend "midget dick" for a week). After an actual go at it, I actually lasted a fair while - because I couldn't feel anything. My girlfriend switched to being on top of me, and I guess it was the weight of her or something but something activated Two-Pump Chump mode.
I couldn't feel anything through a condom (and never did) and pretty much had a shitty time all around.
On the upside, I found out my friend's girlfriend bought those small-ish condoms for him. They didn't fit him, so he gave them to me. I gave him hell for a month thanks to that shit.

been there, bro.

Don't lose heart! First times are usually a bit rough, and an experienced partner will--or at least should--be understanding of any fumbles you make because they've most likely been there themselves, in one way or another. Less-than-excellent performance the first time (or several times) is not merely okay, it's to be expected. Don't equate yourself with your performance the first time you have sex.
As for the lack of protection thing, my general sense is that's generally an unwise thing to do outside of a monogamous relationship, even if she is, or claims to be, on the pill. So I'd say avoid doing it in the future, though the odds are you'll get away with doing it just once. (They do make larger condoms if endowment's the issue there.) If you're still preoccupied by the risk, getting tested is probably the best way to set your mind at rest.
As for this nonsense in the other comments, at least if my own experience is any guide, you'd have to be fapping a lot more than once a day for it to impact your sex life negatively. I suspect the problem with being able to get it up was more "performance anxiety" than anything else--which, as I said, is normal and to be expected.
|
Don't worry about it, it's normal; get tested if it'll set your mind at ease; keep fapping if you like it
Edit: I see GatorChomp beat me to the punch. What he said.

It's always better. My first time was when I was 19 and with a 24-year-old. It was all going good for a minute give or take until I started going numb and then...nothing. She tried using her hands and mouth to bring it back to no avail. I tried going in the bathroom and jerking it back to life, but nothing.
I was pretty depressed and frustrated about it for a few weeks and eventually stopped seeing that woman. The next year I was 20 and got with this hooott 18-year-old with a ton of experience and sure enough, it was fantastic! For 45 seconds. But then we cuddled for a bit and she guided my hands to her vagina and sure enough I got hard again...and went for about 75 minutes (I kept looking at the digital clock by my bed). Luckily, at that age you have two things going for you:
If they it's your first time you're almost expected to cum quickly.
Your recovery time is almost superhero-like. As long as you know your inexperience will lead to a quick first time (nobody ever told me), there's no need to freak out about it--just switch in to girl-pleasuring mode until you get hard again.
|
First time is bad for most guys; I literally had almost the same situation as you. Don't get depressed, just try it again. You'll probably cum quick, but if you keep at it during the same session you'll more than likely have great sex.

My experience learning the blues began by me trying to sound like Keith Richards. I tuned my favorite acoustic guitar to open G (IMHO open tunings are part of making a good blues sound, I chose open G over open D because G is what Keith mostly played in) I left it in that tuning, so that everytime i wanted to play it I would need to play in open tuning. I picked up a slide, stopped using a pick (for blues) and learned a few basic turnarounds. there are a few songs that are fairly easy to learn I started with You got to move, Becks version of He's a mighty fine leader and though I know its not exactly blues but Wild horses, it is a great open G song, that shows how to do open chords in G tuning. the rest is just time and fooling around. It is also super important to listen to the blues, find someone people that you like and pay attention to how they play, watch videos of them. for me it was Mississippi Fred McDowell, Furry Lewis, RL Burnside, Bukka White and Son House. In someways it feels like relearning the instrument, which can suck and be discouraging. I felt like I sucked for about 6 months, but in the long run it is totally worth it.

Open Tunings, Practice and listening to lots of blues.

You base your decisions on faith too. You just trust the people who told you the world was round and they can scientifically prove it. You haven't gone around proving every little piece of science that blew your way.
The problem isn't faith, in science, in what the schools teach you, in political positions . . . The problem is when people decide to use their faith, their views, their ideals to tear others down, or take from them. Faith has NEVER been the real problem. Treating people poorly, making things us vs. them has always been the issue. Even when "science" purported that certain peoples were genetically disposed to being inferior, it wasn't faith in the speakers, but a lack of personal responsibility, accountability, consideration for others?? I'm sure there's a better term for what was missing.
It isn't faith, though faith is often the excuse used to claim destruction was okay. The want to destroy was already there. The lack of sympathy was already there. Faith was used to cover it up, as it is used by the OP to avoid seeing the real problem and parsing a better solution.
It is never good to belittle or think little of others. We are each stupid in our own special ways. It is better to lend a friendly hand to help educate and introduce the truth. Just remember, the OP is just perpetrating the very same issues they are railing against. You don't stop war by warring. (You don't stop whore by whorring??).
And that's MY soap box.
|
We're all stupid in our own special way. Don't blame faith when it's just the cover up, not the real issue. Treat everyone better and help them learn, rather than belittling them for not knowing, but assuming, just like you do.

You shouldn't lose all respect for someone just because they're overly religious. A really good friend of mine is extremely religious, goes to church every sunday, etc.. I didn't know for the first 2 years I knew him. He always kept this to himself and never pressed his religious views on anyone. His view was this: "everybody sins in some way or another according to Christian beliefs. I mean... I sin all the god damn time so I can't judge anyone else for their sins." he also said he has his religion that he follows and never tries to push it on anyone because his parents always taught him that what other people believe is none of his business. This actually made me respect him more than before because he's able to be extremely religious in his own way and not how "the church" wants him to be.
|
My friend is very Christian but no one knows it because he was brought up to respect what other people believe even if it disagrees with his beliefs. So yes, you're wrong to immediately dismiss your friend. Talk with them and then make your own opinion.
|
There is a whole world out there to teach them. Racism and bigotry have been taught to kids for years and years, and we're slowly defeating that idea. But at this point, they have to rebel against science before they learn to love it.
Second, I'm not saying you have faith in science and that's the same as faith in religion. I'm saying you have faith in scientists and that's the same as faith in religious leaders. Both have track records of good and bad deeds. It is just that at this time, the bad deeds of the religious leaders have been blamed on the religion. The bad deeds of the scientists have been blamed on the doers and the companies supporting them (not science).
If we treated religion like we do science (STOP thinking I'm saying religion is just like science. I know you are), we'd blame the church, the pastors, the people involved AND the Pope would have to defend his church's protection of child abusers. Instead, we have allowed religion to be considered "special". It is tax exempt, and considered above reproach in many circles. WE did this, not religion, and not science. Don't blame the religion (which contradicts itself often enough to show you AREN'T supposed to take it literally). Blame the selfish people who use it to create the very abuses you hate.
|
Stop blaming the religion and get back to bling the people levering it as an excuse to defend their actions or gain power over others.

There are many different spheres of health: physio-energetic, mental, emotional, interpersonal, and transpersonal (spiritual). Your problem is bound up to one degree or another with each of these categories.
Meditation will have a positive effect on all facets of health. The thing is, though, that for most of these areas (physio-energetic, mental, emotional, and interpersonal), there are practices that are much more effective and efficient than meditation. For physical health, exercise and diet are essential, and for maximal benefit I'd recommend an energetic practice like yoga or chi kung. For mental health, reading and writing are great (calm-concentration style meditation is quite beneficial here as well). For emotional health, good psychotherapy is invaluable. Interpersonal issues can be solved through greater efforts towards honesty, openness and healthy communication.
Meditation is specifically geared towards transpersonal, or spiritual, health and growth. These words are rather woo-ey and don't sit well with many people, but it's quite practical actually: meditation prepares and engages your mind such that insight into the nature of the body-mind process is possible. In other words: meditation calms the body and mind so that it can investigate experience, and from that investigation develop an understanding of how experience works. It is "transpersonal" in the sense that the specific, personal content of experience is not what's important so much as the formal properties of experience in general. This is what meditation does best.
So, as I read it, the bulk of your problems are connected to a generally unhealthy lifestyle, and can be solved through efforts to improve all the mundane aspects of your health. If you do so, you will feel more functional and stable in all kinds of life circumstances.
Meditation is for those who are not satisfied with simply being functional and stable. The goal of meditation is insight into the nature of reality and the consequent attainment of unconditional, perfect happiness. Many people in the Western world do not get this and thus waste a lot of their time meditating for stress relief etc. when they could be getting a whole lot more out of tai chi or a good diet. Meditation is a whole different rabbit hole.
|
If you want to retain a baseline level of functionality, stability, and health, there are better things to invest your time in than meditation. If you want to go beyond, and are interested in self-perfection, universal wisdom and complete happiness, then get all that other stuff in line and begin an intensive meditation practice.
Good luck!

My girlfriend had earache, and I know that olive oil is good to soothe the pain...
But she didn't want it too cold or it would be a shock. So I warmed it up.
... I warmed it up a little bit too much, and basically poured hot oil in her ear. Apparently she heard a "pop" and went deaf for a few minutes. (While I tried to keep the total panic out of my voice)

Firstly, I'm sorry for your loss.
Secondly, in case anyone cares, the uncontrollable erection is likely because OP took the whole pill. Generally speaking you need a sexual stimuli to achieve an erection on Viagra except at high dosages, or OP is young enough that he gets NRBs on the regular.
I'm a young, healthy male in his early twenties who sometimes can't get an erection (a lifetime of cycling and a corrected circumcision will do that) and take Viagra for it. It leaves me pretty damn tumescent (think half to full chub) and lowers the threshold for achieving an erection, but by no means leaves me with a raging, mega-huge boner in public.
The dosage on Viagra is set so that the oldest, wrinkliest, softest old man with shit cardiovascular health can take his old lady for a ride on the pound town express all night long. It's so high that my doctor just gives me sample packs of four, which can then be split up into thirty-two separate doses.
Oh, and since this an off-topic reply already, Guys, you gotta try this shit . Next time you go to your doctor/internist just say you've had some trouble getting an erection. They'll ask you about stress, smoking, exercise, and masturbation habits, including what porn you watch (apparently unrealistic fetish porn can cause performance issues). If you're a healthy, well-adjusted adult and have a good relationship with your doctor (if you don't, why not?) they'll most likely gives you a sample pack.
There's minimal side-effects for healthy adults so they can be pretty loose about it. Across the pond they sold a beer celebrating the royal wedding with a hit of Viagra in it, to give you some idea of how safe it is.
And for people thinking "Psh, I don't need that", you're right; you don't need it. But as every man knows, there's a fairly large range of boner quality (Think post-teenage masturbation marathon on the low end and morning wood on the high end). This'll give you the highest of high quality, for hours. Got whisky-dick? Go from trying to stuff an oyster into a parking meter to fucking like a porn star.
|
Viagra doesn't usually leave you with a raging boner all the time; Guys should try it (Talk to your doctor, no need to order on the internet)

When my brother got married, the whole family came to the wedding. My mom had a headache and, in true grandmotherly fashion, my grandmother had some Tylenol in her purse. She gave some to my mom, and within about an hour or so, my mom was incredibly drowsy and really out of it. She figured maybe she'd taken too much of the meds her doctor had just put her on, and left the wedding early. Her son's wedding.
Two months later we find out my grandmother doesn't know the difference between regular Tylenol and Tylenol PM. That's what happened.

Not me, but happened to a friend.
My good friend was going through a rough patch, his last girlfriend cheated on him, toyed with him, and made him miserable, and he, at the time, still wasn't over it.
In order to help one of my friends hooked him up with someone on her soccer team. The girl she introduced seemed very sweet, caring, easy to talk to, and she and my guy friend hit it off relatively quickly.
Within a month he's a much happier person, and they're starting to go on dates, hang out frequently, it seemed like all was going great.
Until one day in school he comes up looking like the fear of god was put into him. When we asked him what was wrong, he said he went on a date with this new girl, and woke up at her house with his ass torn up and in tons of pain. This girl stated he just passed out, apparently this wasn't the case.
Later my friend who set these two up in the first place found out my guy friend was roofied, had a dildo or vibrator or two shoved up his ass for a few hours, and this new girl was one sick sick motherfucker.
Ultimately, my friends good intentions of setting the two up backfired cause the bitch was crazy, she had no idea.

When my mother died suddenly, I was left with the job of calling relatives while others planned the funeral. Everyone including myself was in disbelief over the situation. Anyway, I moved on to calling my great-aunt who was from Brooklyn. She was about 85 years old and had a very heavy accent. After giving her the news, she tries to make a little small talk with me. She then says to me, "You're autistic. I remember, you are autistic." Stunned by what is news to me, I protest. "No," I say, "I go to [insert Ivy league school]. I am not autistic." But she insists, "You are autistic, I remember." I sigh and get off the phone, very confused about the whole situation. When my uncle returned from the funeral home, I asked him if Aunt Ruth was senile and I recount the story. He snapped at me, "You idiot. She was saying artistic. You know, cause you paint." And I certainly did feel like a moron, if not autistic.
|
My great-aunt was trying to comfort and complement in my time of grief, but I couldn't understand her accent so I thought she was calling me a retard.

I got ringworm on my face and chest when I was a little kid. Went to the doctor and got a prescription for some type of cream. My mom realized she already had the same kind at the house and gave it to me to rub on my face everyday. Turns out it was the cream she used for a rash under her boobs.

Please enlighten us what title would have made this hilarious ?
Looks like it was a shitty title for a shitty post, if you ask me. I'm almost ready to go ahead and unsubscribe from this subreddit. I'd say 8/10 posts that make it to my front page here are fucking stupid, and from people who've never even been to 4chan. You mods seriously need to step your game up, and start filtering some of these stupid fucking posts.
Let's have a recap here: this is a post where everyone spams "moot, moot, moot" over and over, only to then have someone falsely post as moot. Then one or two users, probably just posing as "newfags" act like it was really moot. And even if it was, who gives a shit? He's the creator of the fucking site, of course he lurks every now and then. 1,300 upvotes for this bullshit?
This subreddit is a fucking joke. A fucking PG-filter, for redditors who are too scared to actually go to 4chan. I wouldn't even complain if this subreddit was used to "weed out all of the 4chan bullshit, to post LE GEMS" like it's claimed to be used for, yet it's not used for that. This subreddit just reposts and reposts stupid shit that you'd know happens every 15 minutes if you actually ever went to the fucking site.

YES I MAD. This subreddit has potential, yet it's a fucking cringe inducing shit hole. I'm not only mad, I'm ashamed as well.

Just throwing this out there can we stop calling it "The N-word" it is a word, it only has the power we give it. It is a very terrible thing but stigmatizing it only makes it worse.

Twilight Princess is most certainly worth a playthrough. It's a solid Zelda game with a good story. Hyrule is vastly expanded from its OoT days, and graphically it looks as good as a Zelda game has ever looked.

Yes.

Everything about your guitar has an effect on the way it sounds.
I don't recommend doing this, even if your guitar is a cheap copy. It will irreversibly change the way your guitar sounds.
Before you take those rather drastic measures, try adjusting your strap , and work on your posture . Those two things alone will make your guitar seem a lot lighter. I play with a B.C. Rich Ironbird, and her neck is quite heavy compared to her body. A quick strap adjustment and a little work on my then-terrible and still not that great posture makes her feel lighter when I play.

Don't do it.

When I was 12 I was taking shower. I forgot my towel so i decided that I should just run to my room. I only lived with my mom so It was fine. I didn't ask my mom for a towel cause I didn't really care if she sees me naked. Anyways I opened the bathroom door.. was running to my room (to get to my room i have to pass the living room; was living in an apartment); To my surprise a guy friend was sitting in the living room and soo he saw me naked!! I don't know why the hell I stopped running, i just stared at him for like 5 secs then started running to my room.
We had lunch together that day with my mom, and it was so awkwardly silent....
We never spoke of that day. We never brought it up.

I was friends with a girl who lived up the road as a kid, we were both 12 at the time and she had a little sister who was eight, but had downs syndrome. She loved it when we played with her, so we would usually end up playing with her because it made her so happy. We were playing hide and seek (basically her "hiding" and us pretending we didn't know where she was for a while before "unexpectedly finding" her.) and here's me, barging into their unlocked bathroom while saying in a sing-song loud voice "I wonder if she could be in the AH!" Swing bathroom door open expecting to find small child poorly concealed in the clothes hamper, be confronted with small child's naked father halfway through shoving a shampoo bottle up his arse while masturbating furiously. Eye contact is made. He didn't stop jerking the gherkin. I never visited their house again.

Playing with down syndrome small child, walk in on small child's dad participating in solo arse play with a shampoo bottle while choking the chicken at an alarming rate. Eyes meet, never again.

The only way you're going to have a chance at being correct in this is if time have no bearing on this...starting from the corner gives you a more consistent, but far inferior on average, start.
Starting from the corner gives you 5/8 of the squares bomb-free, but only 1/4 of the area to expand into...so stupid to make the arguement that 62.5% less bombs is worth a drop in 75% expansion.
Further proof still (they also make the arguement that corner is SAFER, but NOT BETTER):
...if that's not convincing enough, go watch any "pro" or fast minesweeper video and I can guarantee they start around the middle. They're going to be hovering the F2 key to restart a new game and just spam middle clicks and F2 until they get a good start...while I was more of a casual player and never used this "try hard" method, it is by far the most efficient way to drop times in your games after switching to double-click (though, double-click is really only helpful in expert and sometimes in intermediate)
EDIT:
I've actually started a lot of games from the top/bottom edges and that seems to be a very good concession of the two.
|
You're math isn't necessarily wrong, you're just looking at it the wrong way...if you want to play a game like minesweeper (that usually requires guessing/chance to complete) for completion percentages go right ahead...I just don't see the point in playing that way...if I'm going for accuracy/completion then I set something like "I want to see how many I can complete "in under 100 seconds" since a percentage of games completed isn't a proper attribute of skill.

I'm glad you're seeing the light XD
...I'm not sure that giving you a free square when the chances are already low matters enough to make an impact:
30x16 array makes 480 squares and 99 bombs gives you a 79.375% chance of hitting an empty square on the first click...making that 100% isn't really making much of a difference
Now, that becomes even less important when you consider that someone going for a record/fast time isn't going to continue until they hit a large expanse...something that very rarely happens on the first try and usually takes numerous clicks...say 3 clicks and the total percentage is (forgive me for not making lazy stats) 35% vs 49% which is only 14% difference -- meaning you'd have to spend roughly 1/8th more time before getting a good start at 3 clicks and that figure is only going to dwindle as the number of clicks are increased.
when I would go for a personal best time, I wouldn't start playing unless I had an expanse of roughly 1/5 of the board showing--whether that be one huge expanse or multiple small ones
Further more, the "free click" versions of Minesweeper (post-XP) aren't even legal for competition and official scores.
...not trying to be pretentious in this last bit (or any of my posts...full intent is to make other people better players) but a serious player just isn't going to use the windows version at all...there is a special "official" version. I remember that it kept track of stats that shown the amount of skill for any given game (taking into consideration the empty spaces and the amount of work needed to pass the level) and it might have even have a feature which records games for playback.
Edit:
Here's the site for "official minesweeper records" -- the download section has the "hard-core version of minesweeper if anybody wants to try it out:

Just trying to help people get better and middle is still best...sorry if I came off abrasive at all...I've got an obsession with providing sources/examples when I try to convince people of something, hence the long posts.
Check out if you're interested in the serious side of the game XD
|
There are equal chances that a corner will contain a bomb as any other square...yet clicking he corner only provides insight on up to 3 neighboring squares compared to 8 if starting from the middle. After that first click you have only 3 moves to follow up with...if any if those has a bomb you have no "free" moves...if going from he middle you have options under the same circumstances.
|
Corner is the worst possible first move...sometimes natural instincts aren't helpful at all.

This is for a 2 month relationship? Your 19 you don't need this, and you clearly don't work together. She sounds immature and loves drama - although she's young so maybe she will grow out of it. But just like whatever she wants you to change, it won't happen in 5 days.

this is in no way worth it.

I would defiantly suggest keeping it up. If you are already experience ED issues they will only get worse. Secondly, speaking as one who had the same problems starting out, it helps a lot to channel that drive into something more productive. Go work out, join a club at your school, study harder, hell read the news and educate yourself. Pick any of about a million actives you could do instead of fapping i guarantee they are more productive and better use of your time. I'm 24 not that much older but in a short 5 years i went from fapping daily for a short period to wasting hours and hours watching porn its a slow steady decline and it can only end badly. lastly, speaking as one who has finally gotten past 7 days for the first time it feels really good to know i can do it.

Fapping can only end badly in the long run so keep up no fap.

Vehicles should NOT be changed; let me tell you why.
Vehicles already have higher threshholds from my experience. In Reach, a plasma to a ghost would blow it up every single time, even if the guy got into a brand spankin' new ghost. This isn't the case any more. If anything, I think the damage threshholds might need to be lowered. I thought that H3 -> Reach's transition where small arms fire can now meaningfully damage vehicles was a positive one and I'm glad 343 continued the trend.
Some friends and I went back and played some H3 and, to nobody's surprise, we played BTB Valhalla. Shooting the banshee with a BR felt like I was shooting it angry glances instead of bullets. The cunt wound up going something like +20. Those games aren't fun. Games where someone in a vehicle dominates is fun for ONE person: the person in the vehicle.
With damage threshholds the way they are, it forces the person operating the vehicle to do so with skill, instead of the vehicle providing "insta-skill" where before it was lacking. Basically, it's still possible to scrap together some good sprees in vehicles; you've just got to go about it in a smart way. Don't rush out in the mantis. Take cover and let those vehicle shields recharge. And if you know the tank gets destroyed nearly instantaneously, then for fuck's sake don't get in it!
|
Vehicles used to be crutches for low-skill players. The tweaks made force vehicle operators to do so with skill and planning.

The purpose of the truss rod is to stabilize the relief (curvature) of the neck. Because wood is not a fully rigid object, it is to a minor extend malleable as it is a porous material that is also affected by external factors such as humidity and temperature change; those factors cause the wood to lose its shape and flex and bend. The truss rod is there to allow you to correct any of these minor changes in the relief of the neck.
String of different gauge size will also have different tension on the neck wood, this is another external factor that can cause flex in the neck - and another reason the truss rod exists to allow you to counteract this tension. However, in the context of your post, removing the strings from a guitar for a short term period of time (time period it takes to ship) should not have any lasting negative affect on the neck, at worst, the neck will back bow slightly due to the countertension of the truss rod, but no fretboard tension due to the lack of strings. But once you restring your guitar and give it some time to settle back and equalize the back bow will correct itself and everything will be back to normal.
|
An unstrung guitar is at no more risk for damage than an unmounted guitar neck.

I agree, I think splitting checks is tacky. As a female, however, I always feels slightly awkward when the bill comes on a first date. I much prefer when the guy smoothly has his credit card/cash out and just hands it to the server. So then there is no awkward moment when we're both staring at the check. Then I will proceed to thank him for dinner and offer to buy drinks after dinner. This also leads to extended date time :).
After the 3rd or 4th date is when I will start alternating paying for dinners, tickets etc.. And for the guys, if she does not start buying a few drinks, dinners etc by the 3rd or 4th date, she is probably high maintenance and you should run far far away.
|
Guys should just pay the bill without her noticing on the first few dates. If she doesn't return the favor after 3 dates, move on.
|
Although this (like most things) might differ from man to man, here is my opinion:
I think it's a nice gesture, since not offering to pay any of it seems as if you expected him to pay the bill in the first place. Normally, if he has manners he would insist at least once on paying it after your suggestion. Then let him.
If you enjoyed your time together you could add something like "Ok, I'll pick it up the next time ;)" which gives him a positive feedback and steers him towards not having any doubts about "should I ask her out again?". Furthermore it gives you feedback as well. If he enjoyed it as well he won't be able to not smile on that comment.
The worst that could happen: There won't be a second date but the first one didn't cost you anything but your time.
Last but not least a scenario like that would at least take a little weight off of that awkward moment at the end, since it just became more clear for both of you that you (both) had a great time!
|
I think it's not threatening at all, it shows manners... do it but let him pay anyway ;)

Well, your problem is that you're using an Intel HD graphics card. I'm not sure (I might be wrong), but usually, unless a laptop has a dedicated gfx (read: AMD/ATI {whatever they're calling it now} or nVidia), it's going to be absolutely shit for games. I'm genuinely sorry to be the one to point this out, especially since it looks like your rig is strong enough to take on most stuff with that i7. 4GB of ram ain't too bad either.

Try some graphic card solutions, such as [this]( Next time you buy something, make sure you get a proper gfx

I'll tell you my secret, in an anecdote from just after I finished college:
My younger cousins parents were going through a nasty divorce. He was living with us that summer while his parents got their shit together. I took him out with me whenever I went to hang with friends or party.
Near the end of summer my cousin said this "John, no offense but; you are not the best looking guy in the world. How do you always have these hot girls all over you?"
The answer is amazingly simple. Be confident, be funny and be nice. Even ugly guys like be can get hot girls if you are not afraid to talk to them. Treat them like people, not objects and generally just try to have fun. I think the having fun part is most important. Don't try to pick up girls, just wherever you are have a good time, bring your own party. Don't be afraid to look dumb. Look dumb every chance you get. Tell terrible jokes, laugh at yourself, laugh with others.
Maybe I have an advantage because overall I'm a VERY positive person. When someone asks me "How are you today?" The answer is always "AWESOME! How are you?"
|
Holy wall of text Batman! Be funny, laugh at yourself, laugh with others. Have fun!

I'm a southern Californian who moved to NYC last year so I've had to pick up a bunch of winter clothes all at once. I wondered if a combination of the Heattech long-sleeved undershirt plus long johns would might allow me to avoid wearing the super chunky overcoats that these Northeasterners all seem to own, so I set to trying it out. Now, I've noticed that the Heattech undergarments are not all created equal. The long-sleeved undershirts come in three different textures: [normal]( [ribbed]( and [waffle]( The long johns come in [normal]( and [waffle]( The difference is quite subtle in these online photos, but very noticeable in real life. Even the material is different, as you can see on the web pages. More importantly, the waffle items are noticeably thicker than the normal and ribbed ones.
As an experiment, I bought one of each type and tried wearing them out in cold weather. I felt that the normal and ribbed undershirts did warm me slightly, but really did not make me any warmer than a thick cotton undershirt would (for less than half the price). The normal long johns were nice of course, but still only a minor help. Wearing the waffle undergarments, however, really did make a noticeable difference for me. I was able to walk around outside in a blazer, sweater, and jeans at times when everyone else was wearing their heavy coats. And this is coming from a soft-skinned Californian who has seen snow maybe a dozen times in his entire life. Of course there were still days when I had to wear a coat and all that, but Heattech underwear definitely allowed me to reduce the bulk.
|
since the prices are the same, I would highly recommend going for the waffle textured undergarments.

I don't know what the most down voted thread is, but I accidentally did a repost the DAY I signed up for reddit (I didn't know everything came from here!) and, while my link got positive karma, people clicked it to down vote my comments in it (originally just "hey guys, my first post!", then "why are you down voting?" and "what's a repost?", "I didn't know!!"...). Anyways, everyone down voted All of my comments. In case you were wondering, the maximum Negative comment karma is 135.

Here's the thing. He definitely made a point about the way we automatically give sympathetic upvotes to people because they mention some obstacle in their lives or in other's. However, if you read the comments on the post he made to lie about it.... people were really trying to be supportive.
I don't know it's necessarily a bad thing to think "Hey, this guy has a horrible disease that effects people I love, and I know that's tough. I'm glad that something I also like will bring him joy in a difficult time. I will upvote to share a nice story." That's generally what I think people's thought process was when they read his original post, at least I'm sure it was for many of them.
And then the way that he revealed the lie was So freaking condescending (you said this, I'm just reiterating). It wasn't just proving a point, it was almost like Angelica Pickles saying "Ha! Suckers!"... also I've seen him comment on the integrity of other posts with a holier-than-thou attitude and it pisses me off because at the end of the day it's like... "You faked cancer. For whatever reason you want to claim... you faked cancer."

Was his point correct? Maybe, but it's not necessarily a bad thing for people to want to rally around a dude going through a rough patch.

Girl here and I would like add my two cents. Here is what I try to tell my brother but he doesn't ever listen, maybe you will. For girls, attractiveness isn't a completely physical thing, maybe initially, you might catch our eye, but overall it is not the most important thing. Once you get to know someone, the way you see them changes. They get more or less attractive depending on their personality. If you are a generally good guy, your attractiveness goes up once we get to know you but if you are a huge douche all the time, even if you look like a Greek god, no girl worth keeping is going to stick around. Also attractiveness is very subjective, me, I personally would want someone who makes me happy and that I feel comfortable with rather than someone who looks good with me because eventually we will both get old and his looks will be gone.
I don't know how old you are but also what women want changes over the years. In high school, a lot of really good guys get overlooked unfortunately because those girls don't know yet to pick substance. They learn eventually but sometimes it takes a while. In college the girls are pretty much split to the ones who still think like high school girls and they just want to have a good time so they pick the physically attractive guys. There are the girls who are looking for someone to have a relationship with, they look for long term features. Lastly there are the girls who just want to keep their heads down and focus on their studies because a bachelors degree is not their final goal. These girls don't really look at anything other than their text books and if you can pry their eyes away, they are also going to want personality.
|
Physical attractiveness is not all that matters, girls put a LOT of emphasis on personality. The more we get to know someone the better or worse looking they get to us. Also depending on what stage of your life you are in, girls look for different things.
|
If you believe you are attractive, you will be attractive. Physical attractiveness is not nearly as important as confidence and knowing you're a boss and any lady would be lucky to have you. That shit drives women nuts. Be assertive but kind, and demonstrate how interesting you are. Looks will quickly fade away when you can confidently ask a woman about her life and pose leading and interesting questions. Make her laugh and it's game over.
|
Looks don't matter as much as confidence.

I'm not a neurolog so take this with a grain of salt, the way brains creates "knowledge" is by neurons creating a connection between them. So if a bigger brain means more neurons then the maximum number of connections increases, however note that the maximum number of connections is faculty (!) of the number of neurons, so to give an example 55! is more then 10^73 so given a billion neurons the maximum number of connections is beyond our comprehension of numbers.

Technically it might but in practice no.

Your ignorance is astounding. If you knew anything about South Africa, you'd realize that the "uncompetitiveness" of the black population is the result of white exclusionism. They can't get jobs because the wealthy white minority literally set up the country in such a way as to keep the black population poor and powerless. The only reason white Africans were able to dominate their country's majority was because of military power, itself the result of a technological legacy originating with the Islamic empire of the "Golden Age"... The Golden Age drew on knowledge from the Greeks, who got that knowledge from Persia and Egypt, who had the means to gather said knowledge because of a legacy that FUCKING STARTED IN BLACK FUCKING AFRICA. White supremacists are a fucking embarrassment to all of humanity. Nothing the "white race" has achieved could have been done without the influence of every culture that came before us. Fucking appreciate your "colored" fellow human beings; this is their world too.

It turned up.
To start. I'm very impressed. On mine (can't speak for quality control) I have no discernible faults. The quality of the seams, stitching and materials is all top notch.
It's lighter by a significant amount then the official rubberised case which is very nice. It fits the Nexus very well - it snapped in lovely and doesn't move. There is one minor fault in that the top microphone hole doesn't align with the one on the Nexus. I'm not sure if this will affect me as I haven't yet used any functionality needing this, the side microphone hole however aligns perfectly so perhaps it won't. The auto on/off feature works as you'd expect.

It really comes down to your teammates. Do they have the patience to wait out a Katarina that sits on top of ward? If so, push that tower to the ground.
If they're getting upset or playing recklessly, you're going to want to follow and try to turn the fight around. Or prevent it all together.
If for instance your mid laner roams top and your top lane is wardless, ping and call MIA, but you're going to want to follow just in case.

Depends on the skill/awareness/patience of your team.

As far as I am aware the film is just to keep hot air and steam near the food, so the more holes you have the more the hot air and steam escapes so the drier your food will be.
However if you have no holes but generate that same hot air and steam, then the film will blow off, simple as that.

Personally I have a rather nice turntable and a fully analog amplifier with a pair of speakers I built myself.
Then I did an electrical engineering degree and lost the placebo effect.
Does vinyl sound better? Nope. Does it sound 'warmer'? Yes, it's called distortion.
What the human ear can distinguish is a matter of biology. How signals are made and amplified is a matter of engineering. It is trivially simple to make a digital amplifier that plays well-encoded music that is totally indistinguishable from any chosen analog 'audiophile method'.
The only thing that's really better is a live performance.
|
Take it from a former audiophile now engineer. Audiophiles are often audiophools.
|
I didn't like the call, but there is no way they would have done what we SHOULD have done.
You have 2 options. 1.) go for the win. 2.) play for your defense.
They chose option 2, and they played it right for that option. 40 seconds in a 2 minute drill really IS a shit ton of time. Thats about 4 plays with spikes, or 2 in a hurry up. That is a huge difference.
However, I am a fan of option 1. Go for the win. To do this, however, this would have been 4 down territory. That gives you 2 plays to get 5 yards. If you miss it once, go for it again. No fake punt, no shenanigans, just 2 tries to get the first down. Even with the punt if you don't down it, you only lose about 30 yards, which I believe they recovered in what, 3 plays? GO FOR IT! WIN THE GAME! A first down seals it.
|
They did take the second best option. They didn't throw it. They shouldn't have thrown it unless they are going for it on 4th down.

Isaiah 43:10 ESV
“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.
That's because Christianity is base on the other religion before it; like: Judaism, Pagan, Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Greek and etc.... And All religion is based to the astrological view (actually seen with your eyes) and beliefs. It's the base which all religion was formed when we "as early humans" made up religion.
If you haven't seen ZEITGEIST watch it.
But this does not surprise at all (your post).
I remember a yahoo answers that asked " If the big bang "happen" why are there no pictures or videos of it".ಠ_ಠ
Just because they read a book that says it "is the word of god". Doesn't mean it is.
But the memoir of peter pan is pretty good. And Watchmen with doctor Manhattan was the second coming of Jesus. To bad I wasn't born earlier to see him.

not really a surprising in the lest. Religious people tend to be on the lower side of the IQ chart. And tend to know the lest about history (that we know of; Which is skewed but is the best that got from 3,000+ years.)
Sorry for the rant. Bring the downvotes I guess.

Personally I would go with the 4.0. Given that motor was still being used over here till 2006 there are a lot more aftermarket parts for them and a lot more OEM parts to rebuild the motors. That said, I don't know what kind of parts support you have in France for the 4.0 verses the diesel.
As for 2-door vs. 4 door, that will come down to personal preference. I had a four-door and it was great because I could access the back seat area for storage. Now I have a ZJ and I use the back seat almost exclusively for my dog. However, I always liked the looks of the 2-door XJ and if I didn't need/want a back seat I would just remove it and do a rear cargo drawer setup and just access it from the hatch.
In terms of parts you could salvage from your diesel, your axles, wheels/tires, exterior and interior parts should all carry over. The only thing that would be different would be the engine and transmission. May even use the same (or maybe a stronger) transfer case. If it does have the stronger 231HD transfer-case with the 6-gear planetary set up keep it.
|
Get a 2-door gasser and salvage what you can from your current one. Windows, t-case if it is an HD model, axles, etc.

I worked retail for about 3 years while I applied for jobs in my field. The main (and probably the only) reason I survived was that I had fun with it. I, too, was a supervisor and had to deal with all sorts of ridiculous customers but I'd make the most of the ones that were nice. I'd go out of my way to help them and they'd appreciate it. At the end of the day I'd have fun while cleaning up and closing the store. I got in trouble once for singing "White Christmas" over the PA after inhaling some helium while my manager chased me to take the Spectralink phone away from me.
There are a few ways to look at this. If you're good enough at your job and the managers appreciate you enough then you'll be able to get away with making your job fun (this has the added bonus of making those in your charge a little more relaxed as well). If you're not appreciated enough to get some leeway or you're not good enough at your job then you should leave. This may sound insensitive but it's for your own mental health and for the good of the company as well. An unstable or unhappy employee does nothing for morale except tank it and it certainly doesn't improve the public's view of the company.
A final piece of advice, hit the assholes where it hurts - in the wallet. I would give people discounts based on how (un)pleasant they were. If you were buying a clearance item and you were a dick you'd pay whatever price I put on there. If you were nice then I just happened to be discounting this right now! How convenient! If you were an asshole returning something past our 90 day return policy I'll offer you the lowest refund possible (the price of any sale during that period), but if you treated me like a person I'd turn the key and give you full a price refund. Customers often left coupon books at the store. If you were nice I'd give you either the coupon you need to make that $300 item come down into your price range or I'd give you the whole book.
|
Take your sanity into your own hands. Quit, or make your job fun.
|
Oh, doing the last bit of what you suggested is so empowering and it really does make retail fun at times.
You get a dickhead that's buying something that has an instant coupon they need to bring into the store? Why no, I'm not going to just automatically apply that to your order, you'll be paying full price. Regular stock item that also comes in a gift set? Not only will I not be telling you about the gift set, but if I know you won't ask for a receipt I'll put in the gift set code, put the regular item back on the shelf, and save the gifts for a more deserving customer.
Promotional stuff gets saved only for the good regulars that treat us with respect.
Definitely with you on the return policy as well - could also enforce the "you have to leave it here and the upper level manager, who only visits once monthly, has to approve the return and THEN you will receive your refund" policy.
I'm not sure exactly what to believe in terms of karma, as far as a person getting things coming around to them based on how they treat others throughout life, but I know that it sure feels nice to help karma along a little.

save the good customers as much money as possible, screw the shitty customers out of as much as possible while still staying within the bounds of the law.

The time I order an Old Fashioned with Maker's Mark. The bartender, some 19yr old kid, started by muddling a mess of oranges, limes, and lemons. Then proceeded to add about a cup of granulated sugar, grenadine, and sweet & dry vermouth. To top it all off, he gave it a healthy splash of tonic.
My first thought was to stop him as soon as I saw the lemons and limes; but there was a part of me that decided to sit back and watch how much worse this drink could get.

They were a top team for years and I would look at the suspension in game 6 where they had a great shot to make it. But remember, they play in a tough conference hell they were playing the spurs lakers and mavs every year and not every good team makes the playoffs. The suns had a good team but you can't blame him entirely espescially when his system was winning games and he was a few points and a suspension away from the finals. His defense is not NEARLY as bad as people make it out to be. If you look at points per possession (obviously more accurate) youll find hes ranged from 23rd to 5th but stays around 14-17. And don't even bring up the Knicks.

In July of last year, you won't see this in paper Btw, but a girl fainted on the platform and collapsed on the tracks. This was at the 42nd St. station...anyway me and this other dude, without thinking, jumped down and were able to throw her back up on the platform and get back up ourselves before the train stopped. It was the biggest adrenaline rush of my life and I'll never forget it, but if we didn't act she would have been cut in half. The platform was fairly empty and no one was waving for the train to stop. I'm getting a bit of a rush just recalling it and typing t down.

don't stand next to the edge for pushing and fainting reasons - its dangerous shit.

Honestly go to a local shop and tell them what your planning. Ours gave us a ton a free merchandise and came buy to deliver. The offered to do education and shit but we passed on that.

Trial and Error. Lots of testing. Generally it could go something like this (10 minutes in Mspaint for me):
Keep in mind, this chart assume your voltages are within safe limits, temperatures are in check, and everything in your computer is working as intended. Faulty hardware, high temperatures or other random glitches can throw a wrench into any overclocking session.
Say for example, you want 4.5 GHz. You set your CPU to 4.5 GHz but it doesn't want to boot. You'd have to increase your voltage more 'till it boots.
Voltage too high and you still can't reach 4.5 GHz? You have to decrease your CPU speed till it boots at your maximum safe voltage.
Still want less voltage/heat? Decrease your voltage and CPU speed accordingly until you reach an overclock that meets your performance-temperature-voltage expectations.
Some people don't need 4.5GHz so they are perfectly fine with 4.2 GHz at (or less than) 1.19V. Some people are nuts and want crazy overclock so they run 4.7GHz at 1.35V.
|
There is no "set way" to get overclocking down to a science due to variances in silicon, parts, temperatures, etc, etc, etc.

Semi-related story: I became a Brony in secret during the early days when the fan base wasn't really forcing itself on people. I won't really give Doctor Who a chance because of that same problem, people showing up absolutely everywhere trying to force the show on everyone. And it kind of pisses me off because MLP gets a bad rep for it's for it, but Doctor Who's fan base does the same thing and doesn't get bitched at nearly as much. Not that I don't think MLP somewhat deserves the bad rep that it gets because of it's over zealous fans who should have sent their letters to Princess Celestia a long ass time ago. If I were to have stumbled upon MLP nowadays rather than 2 years ago I would probably just say "fuck this shit" and then move on.
|
Keep it to yourselves sometimes fanbases, let the show do the talking!
|
Except that Brony carries with it a connotation of more extreme fandom. When someone refers to a Brony, most people see a fat 30 year old posting on some internet board about his magical police unicorn that shoots toxic gas out of his horn and lives in ponyville catching thieves because, ponyville is nice and all, but it DOES have crime. Mostly pickpocketing. All the while, he is surrounded by his collection of collectible plastic ponies, and yeah your damn right that's the transparent Twilight Sparkle that is ultra-rare and worth money. How much money? Lots. You know. To someone.
|
I have had bad experiences with Bronies, and don't want to be associated with them just because I watch a stupid cartoon.

I only recently became aware of the crazy fangirl aspect. Happily, now that I know it exists, I also know to avoid sites where I might have to encounter it. Woo! Those boys are eye candy, sure (source: straight girl speaking), but it really needn't go any further than simply acknowledging the fact.
Know why I love Supernatural? I like the nods to Neil Gaiman; I enjoy the fact that they world they've created feels a little like the one he created in American Gods . In fact, I think what's-his-face—Eric Kripke?—acknowledged the heavy influence of that book on the show. I also like the nods to the Joss Whedon playbook, like the way they give you a lighter episode before hitting you with something heavy. I could do without them killing off characters I love, though.
But mostly I like it because it's glaringly obvious that they have a crapton of fun making it. Just this season there was the Randy Raccoon preschool or something. There's a Serenity Valley Convalescent Home in there somewhere. The Rise of Dick, fer cryin' out loud! And the episode titled "Mannequin 3: The Reckoning." That title just tickles the shit outta me, and the 80s movie music . . . you just know that the writers and music supervisor(s) had a high old time with that one. The fun they all have with it just oozes out all over the whole damn show.
Almost forgot: they are champions of breaking the fourth wall in small, entertaining ways. They struck gold earlier this season with "Wait--are you the new Bobby?" and "Have we eaten yet?" in one episode.
|
Supernatural is a damn fine show, and those of us who aren't creepy fangirls shouldn't watch it in secret. We should trumpet our very sane and reasonable enjoyment of it and make the fangirls be the ones who feel ashamed!
Shit. Ima hafta watch me some Supernatural now.
Edited to remove potential spoilers.
|
Fuck yeah! I would also like to state that the opening of the season 5 finale, when Chuck's writing about the millionth car off the Chevrolet production line and then segues into writing about the Impala, was beautifully, beautifully written.
Oh, and everything about the Supernatural books and their crazy fandom makes me smile, up to and including "I'm the webmistress of morethanbrothers.net!" It's funny 'cuz it's gross. And because it's probably poking fun at the actual crazy fans.
There's one other thing I love that I'm reluctant to bring up because, well, it smacks of crazy fangirl if I don't explain it properly. But fuck it. I feel safe with y'all. Just go with me on this, ok?
I freaking love Jensen Ackles. Not because he's pretty, but for his little twitches of pure, subtle comedy. F'rinstance, when Castiel (god I love Castiel) is watching porn for the first time: "Oh, great. Now he has a boner." Or when he mentions that one of the Ramones is buried in a certain cemetery: Sam asks if they're going to dig him up, and Dean replies, with perfect inflection, "Bite your tongue, heathen!"
He also delivers my favorite line in the whole series, and it's the delivery that makes me love it so: "Puddiiiinnnnng!"
Jesus. Look at me rattling off lines. I do sound like a crazy fangirl. Stupid brain, being the kind that words and scenes sear themselves into. I plead being a former stagehand who can't help noticing this stuff.
|
Puddiiiinnnnng!

Permitting depends on where you are. I got an EIN, State sales permit, city permits for tobacco, non-intoxicating beverages, and vending. Besides that the big one for me was a wisconsin tobacco products distributor license. That allowed me to buy tobacco from other states and pay the proper taxes, but there are also distributors that may pay your state's applicable taxes. Again the permits you need will vary state to state so make sure to check your local laws. If you have a smoking ban in your state you may be SOL.
Expenses, the best I can from memory, were as follows: Realize I was trying to get this off as cheaply as possible and then spend more on it as I made it. You could definitely spend more on equipment and furniture, but I don't see the reason. If your clientele ends up being like mine they will just have somewhere cool to go and won't care if the couch is brand new designer, or second hand with a cover. This is rough estimations below. Also I was in a 1000+ sqft location that seated 25-35 to start furniture costs go up with more space :P
Stainless sink, fridge, and stainless work tables - (all used) ~2-3K
Couches, chairs, tables - (As much quality used as possible and filled in the gaps with some cheap new) ~ 2-3k
Cash register - (I now use an ipad with square and a cash drawer) 100-1000
Hookahs, supplies, & tobacco (for use and sale) ~ 2-3K
legal fees and permitting ~ 2k
Other stuff is any buildout or remodeling, paint, decorations, music apparatus, and depends on the state of the building you rent. I also rented an ice maker in the beginning rather than buying, but this is also something you can find relatively cheap used on CL. Finally you could avoid the fridge by instead buying or renting an old canned soda vending machine and using that. Also for music I contacted a local coin-op vender and 'rented' (they take 50% of the take) a jukebox and a dig dug machine and it cost me nothing up front. You also want to make sure you have enough squirreled away for the first few months of rent and bills and advertising. Hope this helps a bit.

If you are smart about it you can do it without breaking the bank. The hardest part about opening a new one at this point is avoiding smoking bans.

Okay, I've read through your comments, and I can only assume that you have no friends that like metal, nor have you ever actually been to a metal gig or even met another metalhead. You've formed all your opinions in some weird bubble and argue things that are generally accepted by all metalheads as if they aren't.
I've withheld from commenting on your ridiculous posts because I think there are others here, like noodle, fighting the good fight far more eloquently than I ever could. However, this time I cannot help myself. Saying metal archives has zero credibility in the metal world makes no sense. Say what you will about the layout (I've had my issues with it in the past - many of which have recently been addressed with the latest version), but the metal archives has been one of the most valuable resources for the underground at large for the last decade or more. There is no other database out there, electronic or otherwise, that has as massive a metal catalogue, that for the most part is neatly organized into several different search terms, including genre, country, label, and more. Similar to Wikipedia, it is user edited, but on a points system - you must have a certain number of points in order to edit things, which you get by submitting reviews. On top of that, all reviews and all edits are closely moderated by some very dedicated people - the better written the review, the more points you get. This means that the only people that are submitting to and editing the metal archives are dedicated metalheads.
In all my discussions with metalheads and travels to gigs all across the globe, I have NEVER met a person who hasn't ever used the archives. I personally do not know where I would be without having it to reference. When I hear of a new band, the first thing I do is check their archives page. It is the best and easiest way to get a glimpse and determine whether it's a band worth looking into. Or maybe I'm just trying to remember the name of an album or the name of a band member or I want to look up lyrics. Metal archives is the quickest and easiest way to achieve that, and everyone in metal knows it.
|
Whether it's a shitty site with a terrible layout is debatable (I personally don't think it is). Does is have zero credibility in metal? Absolutely not.
|
Idk, I highly doubt he is personally invested in it. If he wanted the money, he wouldn't have gone into politics. He is a very well educated guy and could have made a killing as an economic advisor (Hes got a masters in econ)
I think he's the type of guy thats in it for the power and glory. Keep in mind he has a history in the Reform party. Which was an extreme right wing party that merged with the Conservative Alliance (i think that was their name) to get todays party.
|
His personal ideals a far more right wing that the party itself.
|
I don't really see a problem. It is just a surrender box with colours. All you are doing is jumping on the season 3 patch hate train.
|
Downvote me plz
|
I agree with you in most of what you said. The problem I see is that football players now that they will get "banned" for doing shit and behaving like douches.
We dont know if IWDominate knew that he can get banned from professional gaming. He knew that his account may get permabanned but that is his personal problem.
Imho its right to ban players from professional games if they act like IWDominate did but you should get a warning like: "Hey IWDominate change your behaviour or we will ban you from the professional scene".
|
Ban justified, correct way to handle the situation from Riot? Imo no!
|
It's definately a good step to "clean up" in high elo territory for once, especially when players get money from Riot to be a professional gamer and represent their game.
On the other hand though, the times I've seen IWD on streams he wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. There's joking trash talking in almost all games and since the introduction of the Tribunal everybody has grown really thin-skinned.
Now I don't say that what he did was right but a year long ban is also a grave punishment for somebody who relies on tournament earnings (aka pro players). Being probably 10 years above the age of the average league player I don't really get upset about flaming (which seems to be what IWD has been banned for); everyone has bad games/days every now and then and of course, you only hear about the bad ones on the Tribunal.
On the other hand you have players like Dyrus who troll and feed on purpose (on a stream with 10k viewers no less) or just afk/ragequit games. As a player I'd rather have somebody on my team who's raging at me for making a mistake (nobody rages at somebody for no reason to be honest) than somebody who's actively working for the other team to win. Of course, we won't see any punishment for Dyrus though because Riot loves TSM for some reason (also inb4 fanboy downvotes).
|
If Riot really wants punishment this harsh for the pro players that made their game famous in the first place they should hold all pro players to the same standards. Also stop getting upset about words, people.
|
I agree completely. I just started documenting my dreams a little over a month ago and within the first week of documentation my dream recall had noticeably improved.
The problem for me, and I imagine a lot of beginners, is MAKING myself write down my dream on those mornings where my brain is telling me 'Fuck this, go back to bed!' 'You'll remember it when you wake up again, how could you forget?' Building the discipline to routinely document my dreams is the biggest struggle thus far, but I know the benefits of lucid dreaming are worth the effort.
|
Documenting your dreams routinely is tough, but IS necessary.

The difference between tachyons and a black hole is that while both are hypothetical, a black hole has support through deduction. Tachyons don't even have that. I mean essentially everything we cannot immediately observe is considered just a theory, but most of our science past that point is extrapolated by taking said theory as truth. While the black hole may technically be hypothetical, it has backing and we've advanced with that assumption, and everything still follows the laws of physics. A tachyon on the other hand has no support, no true contribution, as well as a direct violation of the laws of physics.
|
there's a difference between theory and a theory with support. You can't say that a tachyon actually exists as anything more than a theory.

I had a similar experience once.
Now, a little back story on this car. It has less than 10k miles on it, has been taken care of, and has come back from the factory three times with the same damn leak that was supposedly fixed. Basically, one of the windows allows moisture in. This means it has a nice moldy smell all the time and bugs can get in. Also, the air bag doesn't work, the speakers don't work, etc. 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt if you must know, out of warranty.
Anyway.
I was driving to the store in this car, which belonged to my parents, as my mom had no license and my dad had advanced lou gehrig's disease and couldn't drive anyway. I get there and load up the groceries in the trunk. I start back. Before I'm even out of the parking lot, I reach into the back seat to grab my jacket because I was getting cold. I felt something on my hand and looked back.
My entire arm was covered in ants. There were hundreds, nay, thousands of them.
Thankfully there was a gas station in the same parking lot so I high tailed it over there and began to vacuum out the ants. There was a book in the back seat, and the entirety of the book and all surrounding parts was ant nest. It took me a good hour to suck them all up with the vacuum. They had infested my jacket, too, so that got a good vacuuming too and a trip through the wash when I got home.
|
Fuck you Chevrolet for hiring stupid technicians and being completely able to fix leaks until the warranty runs out at which point you tell people to go pound sand.
|
Gotta love Australia.
Tips though. Wash your car (inside and out) frequently. Less shit in the car means less hiding spots plus chances are you're leaving food wrappers that attract ants and other bugs, which is partly the reason spidey is hangin around.
Pressure wash the outside, don't forget mirrors, door gaps and wheel arches etc. If you are extra paranoid get the engine bay too. Doesn't take long.
Not using the car for a while? Close the vents and hit recirculate.
Also don't park contacting any trees or bushes, ever.

Summer of 2011. Last day of high school senior. Left school early to go on the lake. 8 of us on my friends pontoon and my jet skis (read: my parents jet skis). 3 girls, 5 guys, lots of flashing titties for no reason. Their reasoning? YOLO. I liked YOLO that day.
Later that summer, same setting, same people. Assholes in a wakeboarding boat (huge wake) keep swamping our boat with water. One of them gets on a jet ski with a girl on the back. They start spraying us with the rooster tail and the jet. A lot. I was pissed. You i grabbed a just opened, almost full can of Dr. Pepper. With perfect timing, I threw the can at them right as they turned to spray us, [like this]( but much much faster. The pop can collides with the girls ass. Perfect hit. We recovered the pop can later. The top was blown off and it was completely crushed. They didn't bother us anymore. I am a legend.

That's the one thing that really kills me about some religious people (not all, by any means): when they know less than you about their own supposed beliefs and the argument essentially turns into "Im right and dats it I dont need to no anything else because JEEZUS." I also don't agree with that everything has to turn into an argument, but when someone is demonstrating intolerance of any kind, I generally feel the need to step in, because that's how I do.
|
Boo to dicks like this.

I know I'm going to catch crap for this, but I can't find any context for this video, so let's not jump to conclusions.
There was a similar incident in October (iirc) and after the story blew up it was found out that during the course of disciplining bad students they started swearing at/assaulting their teacher, who then reacted (admittedly) badly.
Here, all we have is a video of a teacher pushing a student back, her swinging at him and then him slapping her. My korean is not good enough to be able to understand the whole dialogue, but I have taught enough spoiled, aggressive students to realize that there's likely more going on here than we see.
|
let's at least figure out what's going on before we grab the pitchforks, and cool it with the "FOR KOREA" stuff.

I've been having a helluva lot of fun with this game since I bought it. Tight gun play, challenging/rewarding system with capturing camps and turning on cell towers. good sneak mechanics, nice graphics. It has all the game I could ever want. Oh and one giant island to explore? oh why ubisoft I thought you would never ask! YES YES THAT IS WHAT I WANT. MORE OF THIS GAME.

damn fine game, worth the 60 bucks(well 65 with tax). (I hear the multiplayer is good too, just haven't played it yet)

Dumbledore would win under most conditions. I know that seems a little controversial given the other comments, but hear me out.
He'd win because he is human. Well, it's a little more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it. Gandalf isn't human. He's a maiar in the form of an old man. In plainspeak, he's an angel. Because he such a being, his influence is relatively weak. He can guide and teach but he cannot rule. He can only do those things if he went rogue, like Saruman and even then, Saruman's power wasn't magic, but cunning and strategy.
Dumbledore isn't bound by those rules. If he wanted to make the floor into a dragon, he could damn well do it. If he wanted Gandalf's insides to boil away, he could to that too.
The conditions ultimately come down to what Gandalf's superiors want. If they want him to defeat Dumbledore, they'll send him back until he does, like with the Balrog. But since this is simply being on being and without back up, it's pretty definitive that Dumbledore would win.
|
Dumbledore wins because his power can be expressed violently whereas Gandalf's power is wisdom and guidance

When an ability like "regenerate this creature" resolves, all it does is wait until the creature would die that turn.
THEN, if it would die, at the that time, it prevents that. In order for that to matter, it does a few extra things.
First, it removes all damage. That's important, otherwise a creature regenerating from lethal damage would immediately die again.
Then, it does two other things which basically allow a player to remove the creature for a turn even if it does regenerate. Those two things are: tap the creature (if it has not yet attacked at the time it would die, it can't normally attack after regenerating) and remove it from combat (if it hasn't already done combat damage, that would keep it from dealing combat damage). These other two effects aren't things it needs to do, they're just effects that balance regeneration, and perhaps add a little flavor.
|
regeneration doesn't do anything until the point where state-based actions would kill the creature.

End it. I'm not a woman but I've been in exactly your situation. Eventually it was her lies that were the last straw - finding out that she'd been binge eating and hiding it from me for years was kinda a break of trust.
But that aside, you're not happy. And it's not fair to string someone along who you don't really want to be with. I stayed with my ex for a good couple of years because I loved her and I just wanted her to change back into the girl I used to be attracted to. All that time I thought she would and had hope, but even with her (fake) efforts (and binge eating), she just kept getting bigger. I tried encouraging us both to be healthier, and eventually I told her the truth about how I felt. That didn't help either and shortly after we broke up... and I am so much happier for it! I don't have all that stuff hanging over me all the time, I'm not thinking about it when I'm with her, I don't feel like crap every time I get horny, and I'm not wondering what she's stuffing in her face while I'm at work. As far as I know she hasn't changed her habits, a year on. If she's happy like that then good for her, but I just couldn't share my life with someone like that.
|
break it off, for the good of both of you. Unless you honestly believe she'll change and want to change.

My point is that as an engineer and roboticist, I am telling you, you can effectively do away with the things that can not be decentralized.
I cant wait for the video we are working on to be done so I don't have to keep typing this, This is [The Technocopia Plan](
Imagine a building, lets say 1000 ft/square with 12 ft ceilings (a bit tall for normal, but it makes the math for the square footage round). In this space you have a machine, this machine takes in air and energy and can make things like food, water purifiers, air wells, composite fiber board, manufactured plastics, electronics, computers, solar panels, LED's even electric bikes. Some things need to be put together like Ikia furniture, some are assembled. No metals, or minerals, but really no need for them either. This will produce enough food (pescetarian) for one person permanently.
Now the neatest trick this thing will do is make an exact copy of itself as well as the other things. This means if you need more stuff then the machine can provide, you make another one. In fact, since there is no cost and very little labor to build new ones, you generally would keep a spare ready to go, just in case. These machines can be kept individual, or in your local community center to encourage communal meals and collaborative inventing and creativity.
Inside the machine on one end is a small vertical aquaponics farm where the veggies, fish and raw material for the rest of the industrial processes comes from. The materials digesters turn bio mass into plastics, graphene electronics and semiconductors, and a whole host of composites. Next level is the manufacturing, of which 3d printing is one part. Robotics manages the interactions between the stages, takes care of the plants and feeds out the ordered items. You use one of the computers made by the machine to design new things, upload them to the internet to share with everyone with a similar machine, and ultimately print out on your local manufacturing system.
We have started building the first level of this and meet online every week to discuss progress, if your interested in participating PM me.

I've never actually been very religious, and as a 17 year old growing up in Illinois, I finally told my parents I wasn't a believer.
I had some complications at the public school I went to and was never really forced upon religion (with the exception of grandparents being religious). My parents sent me to a private Catholic school last year and I started questioning creationism and such, read the bible multiple times, researched a lot, and finally came to the conclusion that it was bogus.
To say the least, my parents took it well and we still talk about it, small debates on our beliefs really, and I may be changing them over unintentionally... They understand my arguments and sometimes agree with me, and it wasn't a painful process to come out at all.
|
told parents I was atheist, they took it well.
Ninja edit: forgot my spaces lol

By "your place" and "her place" do you mean that you each live indecently of parents?
I think this makes moving in together more fun , don't you?
But seriously, don't move in together until both of you have a clear understanding of each other's home habits: How clean is she? What will she tolerate? How much does she nag when she doesn't toolerate something? What chores does she despise? Toilet paper over or under? Pets? How much clutter will she bring/generate? How prompt is she with her rent?

give yourself enough time to determine whether she's a good roommate.

What you wear to a club depends on what you want to get out of your trip to the club, what type of club you are going to and what city you are in. If you want to get compliments from the ladies who compliment these guys then dress like these guys.
There are a ton of different options for your clothes but it all depends on if you're comfortable going to the clubs as yourself, regardless of outcome, or if you're going to the clubs hoping to hook up with an easy barfly. Neither is necessarily bad.
I know that doesn't answer your question but I don't think it makes sense to give you a description of what I wear to clubs and suggest that as the right outfit that "one wears to a club". With a little more information we could probably figure out your style. Ultimately, real confidence is your best article of clothing whenever you go out.

Wear what makes you feel confident.

No. This isn't. [Horus was conceived by Isis and Osiris.]( with a zombie dick.... No one could find him, his mother gave birth to him in secret to protect him from Set... He was the light and the truth, because his Eye represented clarity, but not the other titles.... He wasn't ever crucified, and burial+resurrection is Osiris.... Raising the dead, also Osiris.... The rest I don't know about, but going from the track record.. No.
