The main thing to know is that there are no "get thin fast" schemes that work, other than maybe a ketogenic diet. But we're ignoring that here as that won't get you in shape, just thin. Don't fret when it comes to tricks and methodologies that you hear lots about. Exercise is something that people can get quite ritualistic over. In reality, it's very simple science. It boils down to:
Eat less, eat healthier
Drink lots of water, avoid sodas and sugary drinks. Recent research even possibly suggests sugar-free sodas too.
Exercise REGULARLY. Regularly. You can do it intensely or exhaustively but the important part is to do it regularly. Make it a habit.
Now, when it comes to what equipment to use, what programs to join up for, etc. that is all just to accomplish two goals. The first is to keep you coming back and not getting bored/lazy. Try new things, do it together with existing friends, or make new friends. The second is to give you some choice over what you want to do. Do you want to lose weight? Build muscle? Be able to jog somewhere without being winded after 10 seconds? Do research, talk to people, and try things out to figure out what may be best for you.
|
At the very minimum, I can almost guarantee you will be healthier and lose fat if you 1. Eat better, eat less, drink more water and less sugary sodas. 2. Exercise regularly, even if just a 30 min bike ride 4 times a week for the whole term. Everything beyond these minimums will improve results and let you 'customize' a bit.
And don't go crazy. Eating nothing will likely kill you. Exercising 5 hours a day 9 days a week will likely affect your grades and space-time itself.

Don't get me wrong, since you're not the only one by a long shot, but all you did was toss out a cliche to minimize the topic under discussion.
With all due respect, there is actually a huge amount of wrong with having opinions based upon faulty premises or complete ignorance. All you've got to do is visit Reddit for one day and you'll see a cajillion opinions on subjects where people haven't a clue or, worse, think they know something based upon what they'd previously heard or learned.
As a matter of fact, I've about come to the conclusion that it's opinions--like yours--that have gotten us to where we are today (at least in the US of A).
If you'll indulge me, I'll explain. I submit that sometime in my lifetime there arose a notion of reporting he said, she said--i.e. let the viewers decide--implicitly endorsing the notion of everyone's got a right to an opinion, but the trouble is that people have a tendency of swallowing more readily something if they think they're getting it from a fount of wisdom, such as the media--whether it be the NYT, CNN or Fake Noise--a government figure, a corporate voice (lol), or even (quelle horror) an academic study or book.
I trust most will admit that one or more of the above suspects are hardly credible all the time, if ever, but there are people like you who will sop something up as if it's manna from heaven and then go around spouting off as if you're now an expert and reply to someone, that's just your opinion, especially if that opinion rubs up against something you've previously held as true. It's why we're so dumb compared to our ancestors--don't get me started and tell me we're smarter.
If everything is an opinion, then there can never be synthesis, knowledge or (gasp) truth, which I'd contend is perhaps closer to the truth than you or I would be willing to admit, although it would tend to to corroborate my original point, which is that people go around spewing opinions on things they have no idea what they're talking about or utter absolute nonsense, but it's their opinion so we've got to let it pass unchecked, as you did, presuming it answers everything, when it answers nothing.
I'm sure you'll disagree and tell me your opinion.

Everyone's opinion is not equal.

It looks like all he needs is a small branch office type of firewall. With that in mind and obviously budget - the best bet is a SRX. Gartner, NSS, etc are a good read.
Other vendors as stated in these reports are: Check Point (Long time leader), Fortinet (child of netscreen), Dell Sonicwall (child of netscreen), Juniper SRX and Netscreen, Barracuda, Mcafee, Cisco, Palo Alto etc...
Out of all of the above - the best for small business is a SRX due to cost; if money is not an issue then I would be looking into Check Point; if looking for Next-Gen features such as Application Firewall - then Mcafee, Sonicwall, and Check Point;
If VPN is a requirement then Cisco ASA, Mcafee, and Check Point (Policy Based VPN is configured under 5 clicks)
|
When shopping for firewalls - look at the functionality, cost, and ease to configure.

I take my pup to day care and it has been a godsend. He goes about twice a week. They alternate between free play and crate time. When he gets home he is soo tired he naps the rest of the day. I imagine he is still tired the next day, because he is generally pretty chill, even when I have to crate him (both hubster and I work full time). He gets so excited when the dog bus comes that he starts crying and runs right onto the bus and onto his seat. My puppy is about 5 months old.
Like others have said, it depends on the specific place. The person who runs this day is amazing and can perfectly replicate dog noises. On the first day,Rocko (my pup) barked a lot in the kennel. But Jill did dog noises at him (growling/scolding) and by day 2 he wasn't barking AT ALL! She sends me picture and video texts throughout the day as well.
Then again, I used to take Rocko to the dog park 2-3 days a week (now down to once a week) so he had a lot of experience playing with other dogs and he went to puppy school.

My pup is tired as hell after daycare!

I doubt it. The sun is fucking huge. According to Wikipedia, the sun accounts for 99.86% of the mass in the solar system. There is so much mass that it's mere existence and proximity to itself causes thermonuclear fusion. It fuses 620,000,000 metric tons of hydrogen per second at its core. Even though earth only receives a tiny fraction of the sun's output, due to how tiny we are in comparison, and the spherical nature of the sun, we still get a ridiculous amount.
The solar constant is 1361kW/m^2, apparently. Google this shit, it is seriously mind-bottling.

Career numbers in a still-young player are often unfair measures (with %s being the usual exception to that). Conley averaged less than 4.5 assists per game his first two seasons, when he was also averaging less than 30 min per game, and was still a teenager (he also only averaged less than 1 steal per game back then). Ignoring those first two seasons, and looking at just the past 3 years when he was receiving 32-35+ min per game and had "rounded into form", he averages more than 6 assists and more than 2.5 rebounds per game. Less than 3 assists and 1.5 rebounds per game lasting more than a week is more than a "mini-slump".
My point about ADP was a response to the idea that people only play Conley because of his steals prowess - ADPs that high are for glue players, not 1-stat-specials, and especially not 1-stat-specialists who don't even guarantee you a weekly/season win (Ibaka and Rondo, both widely viewed as specialists, can almost win blocks and assists single-handedly (pre-emergence of Sanders), which Conley cannot do for steals, and provide rebounding strength (Rondo is 2nd in the league in rebounds among PGs, Ibaka is 25th overall)).
If you must know, I got Conley in one of the last rounds of my draft, because of the way my league does keepers.
|
Conley is not a specialist, he is a starting PG, and his slump is full-blown.

If someone finds it unattractive if a woman has a penis, that's, according to these folks, transphobic. If someone else finds it attractive if a woman has a penis, that's, according to these folks, also transphobic.
I get that in their ideal world, people would judge all potential love interests based on their gender identity alone, and all heterosexual men would look at trans women the exact same way as regular women and be completely indifferent about their anatomy, neither finding trans women particularly attractive or particularly unattractive, but come the fuck on. This is reality, where pretty much everyone is going to have some kind of opinion on whether or not the person they're dating was born with the anatomy of the gender they identify with. If you're going to label every such person as being hateful, then good luck finding a partner, because your dating pool just got infinitely smaller.
Just because a dude doesn't want to date a woman with a penis, it doesn't make him a transphobe. Likewise, just because a dude especially wants to date a woman because she has a penis, it doesn't make him a transphobe. Also, only on reddit will you ever find people getting so upset over the fact that people find them attractive.

You don't choose who you're attracted to. Seriously.

I was never scared of any insects until I was 7. On the first warm day of the year all the new queen carpenter ants would emerge from the ant hills and fly off, seeking new nest sites.
There would be so many that it was like black rain. Drifts of chewed off queen ant wings would litter the ground. You couldn't even squish them decently because they were full of eggs. Masses of horrible white eggs.
That I could deal with.
However when I was 7 I didn't get inside fast enough and some of those little creeps got caught in my hair. And bit me. And had to be killed before they could be removed.
Excuse me - I have to go throw up, shower, and curl up in fetal position now.
|
Insects are fine except those queen ants.
|
Cicada's aren't that bad. They mostly stay out of the way - the worst things ever are tent caterpillars. They form tent webs like spiders, but live in large groups like ants. LARGE GROUPS. We had one summer where I literally refused to go outside for almost a week because you couldn't take a step without crushing three or four. They also kill trees - lost most of our small fruit orchard that summer.

To be quite honest this is hard for me to answer. As a rabid fanboy of the old series certain things about DMC just plain sucked. If you want to know message me because i don't like giving spoilers. But in a nutshell the reboot is quite good. Combat system is really well done and the level design and some of the bosses are amazing. The down side is that the story is lacking, characters are pretty annoying and if you have played any of the other DMC's you can figure out the ending by the 3rd level. If you haven't played the other devil may cry's i feel as though that it is so old and so many of the things it introduced into the genre are now standard that a newcomer won't really get what made the original so amazing.
|
DMC is really solid but Devil May Cry 4 has a better Dante, better story and the combo system is a lot harder. level design isn't good though.

Saw the title of this post, and actually wondered if this article would make it in here or not. Love or hate Kotaku, but this author in particular has written a number of interesting articles about Japanese culture, and this one is worth a read.

Boxing faded in the us when most young athletes saw a better opportunity in football/basketball and college scholarships etc. The lack of serious us heavyweight means less us tv coverage too. Boxing was one of the first global sport, other sports caught up (beach volleyball for instance)
Boxing may not be as important in the us as it once was. Yet the us sport market, while influential worldwide, has its unique features - baseball and football barely exist anywhere else.
|
Looking at the us tv one could think boxing, soccer, formula 1or handball are dead/dying.
|
I hate that too. NO Lesnar and JDD and Alistair Overeem would get owned by the Klitschkos. In fact, any top MMA fighter would get owned by a top boxer in the same weight class in the boxing ring because their boxing sucks.
|
I get you.
|
If its boring, don't watch.
I actually love watching asian teams, just because how much better they are than the rest, the bar is set higher, so if you want to win the money prize, get better, take the game serious and just practice more.
If they can do it, anybody else can. The only thing asians do different is that they take the game serious, because it is how they make a living.
The other regions seems to not take it too serious, they can make a living of streaming so they don't put too much effort on actually winning tournaments.
|
Love watching asians playing, other regions need to take the game serious or will keep getting stomped like amateurs.

Try not to fall asleep, even if you fall asleep really easily. He will take it personally.
I fell asleep once, during a very sweet and slow session. I was in an inbetween state wherein I was still moving some, but I was 70-90% dreaming. It was all very abstract and sensory and amazing. The quality of sex was never an issue, but I have never had such an amorphous sensual dreamy sleeptrippy experience before or since. He was less than impressed when after the fact I told him I had fallen asleep, "and it was really great!". No matter how many times you try to explain that it was nothing to do with his prowess, and try to relate the strange trippy experience, all he will hear is "I FELL ASLEEP".
|
Don't let him know that at one point you fell asleep, even if it was really cool.
|
If you're a woman and you're not really enjoying that certain position or the sex in general.... Just say something. It won't ruin the moment. It will make it better. Sooo communicate is where I'm going with this.
|
good sex=communication

Female representative here. A little use of teeth in just the right spot will regularly elicit from me some sort of scream/gasp combo as I claw wildly for grip amongst the linen, or desk stationery, or whatever the environment has to offer.

teeth should not always be out of the question

I'm afraid of being with the wrong person for this reason. It's also the reason why I'm so picky, even if I'm with someone where the chemistry is good.
I need to know I can trust you when I'm not at my best. And I'm not at my best, when I'm THAT at ease. And when I'm that at ease after an insane climax, and I realize you're there with me, I want to look out for both of us.
But I can't!
You made sure of that. And now I'm beside a sex goddess from an orgasmic dream, who, after what just happened I don't feel like I understand. And I'm still coming to my senses because of feeling THAT good.
So when you're that powerless and alone in your struggle, and someone did it to you? Yeah lol you'll want something!
It's actually really unnerving, but it means the world to me if whoever I'm with can hang on a little tighter. I don't ever say anything, and I don't cry, and I definitely enjoyed it, but I expect that much. You're getting another date if you do.
|
You have to be the girl of my dreams if you're going to wake me up from that.

As a person who gets really quite self conscious about sex, I read every comment on this thread, and I found it very helpful. Whilst I didn't see anything that I didn't already know, a lot of this has put me at ease, particularly that pleasure is more important than orgasm.

This post is great if you're unsure of yourself sexually.

Hormones and a release of tension can cause some crazy emotions in people. During sex, your body basically goes crazy hormonally, as everything just kind of prepares itself for the most important part of its existence - contributing to the gene pool. These floods of hormones can produce some interesting side effects, and any emotions you are keeping hidden or repressing can come out. Its often said that lovers bare their souls to each other, and I do believe this is one of the reasons why.
My fiancee has had two interesting swings over the course of our relationship. The first happened after a really stressful two weeks on her end. Troubles with job politics, fights with family, and a host of other problems that she was bottling up. In the middle of the act, she started bawling like none other. I of course stopped immediately, and held her as she just cried and cried. She never knew exactly what she was crying about, but the feelings had just risen out of her during the passion of sex.
The second happened after a particularly good session. We had both been feeling good, and after one of her orgasms, she started laughing so hard she couldn't talk. We had to communicate over written notes for about a half hour until she could speak again. Never figured out why, but that session sticks in my mind as a interesting reverse of the usual emotional lows.
A bad partner will treat these emotional highs and lows as distractions, or worse, plow right through them and try to continue. As with everything else on life and love, good communication and empathy is the key.

hormones be whack, yo

I grew up in florida and would wear normal anti-perspirant as a young man. I also wore plain white tee-shirts and v-necks a lot. They all had yellow stains, I sweat a lot and it was almost instant when I put the stuff under my pits. Old Spice and Right Guard produced a reverse effect. I got so pissed off about constantly having wet underarms and disgusting stains, I just quit wearing it. A few weeks later and I'm sweating a lot less without it (but was still sweating a little because it's fucking florida). It seemed to me, the built up aluminum gradually exited my body and all was good after that. I ended up just wearing plain toms deodorant regularly. I never figured out a way to remove the yellow stain but, it wouldn't have mattered. It will always come back unless you remove the source of the problem. I ended up buying a lot of new white shirts and never had the problem again.
|
stopped wearing anti-perspirant, stopped sweating (mostly), bought new shirts.
edit: grammar / punctuation / spelling.
|
Okay, female here, but at least I'm from places with highs in the 100's F, and the prescription strength kind of deodorant isn't even enough on hot days. So. Here's my formula:
About 2 Tbs baking soda (for one shirt)
Enough peroxide to make a good, thick paste: mix it up.
A bit of dish detergent (less than half a teaspoon; you're going to throw it in the washing machine with laundry detergent anyway)
Then use a cleaning brush (I use old toothbrushes for cleaning the mildew around bathroom faucets - use that one) to really rub the mixture into the armpit stain. (Note that baking soda and peroxide are pretty much the active ingredients in Oxy Clean, so this is maybe just a cheaper version.) Let it sit (overnight, preferably), then wash as usual.
You should smell ammonia just after applying if you get too close - this is a good sign that you have a nice chemical reaction going on, and you're removing the yellow from your shirt. (And as others say, check colorfastness, blah blah - I just used this on white shirts. But peroxide is "color-safe bleach", so usually you should be okay.) Thanks to Pinterest for the idea, but I have tried it myself on my own shirts, and man, is it great.
|
Baking soda + peroxide = awesomeness.
|
Probably just one. Telling from his reaction it probably happened when he was a small boy. He was probably out shopping with his mother, standing in line at check out when it first happened. The man in front of him at check out bent down to get some change he dropped. Little mystery butt sniffer man, lets just call him Bruce, standing there holding his mothers hand was fixated on this heavy set man ASS coming for his head. At first he was scared, but Bruce watched dragon ball Z after school and thought to himself "Goku never gets scared" as that massive asian butt came towering down on him. Instead of running like most kids behind mommy, Bruce, he just stepped up waiting for that butt to hit his face. It was the smell that got him, the smell he'll never forget. The sweet moment that dookie butt was going to hit Bruces face, that moment of contact Bruce was anticipating was instantly ruined by a slap to the back of his head by his mother. That rage, as her eyes filled with tears when she looked at Bruce. "You're going to be just like your father!", she yelled. His heart sunk, he didn't understand, he just wanted to sniff that mans ass and didn't understand why his mother wouldn't let him. Ever since that day, Bruce trained every moment he got vowing never to get caught again, doing what he loved to do, doing what he was born to do, sniffing man ass. But even the best get defeated. Bruce just never thought it would be him.

Drop Safety Requirement
>Requirements: The pistol is dropped from a height of 4 feet onto a
1-inch-thick rubber mat, backed by concrete. The pistol will not fire
(cartridge with a live primer, but no bullet) during the drop test. Each
pistol is dropped from 7 different positions, with a different part of the
pistol hitting the ground on each drop, for a total of 14 drops. Firing on
any one of the 14 drops constitutes a failure for this test.
>Methodology: A magazine is fully loaded with "dummy" ammunition
(live primers, no gunpowder or bullet), inserted into the pistol, and a
round is chambered. The pistol is suspended in a normal firing position
(barrel horizontal and parallel to the floor surface) from a "cradle" made
of string, held by a compressed-air controlled vise mounted to a fixture
whose height can be adjusted incrementally. The lowermost part of the
pistol is raised to a height of 1.22 meters (4 feet) from the surface of the
concrete-backed rubber mat. The pistol is dropped by releasing the jaws of
the air vise. If the primer detonates when the pistol hits the mat, it is
considered a failure. The test is repeated for each of the six remaining
positions:
>o Upside down, barrel horizontal.
>o On grip, barrel vertical.
>o On muzzle, barrel vertical.
>o On left side, barrel horizontal.
>o On right side, barrel horizontal.
>o On the rearmost point of that device, if there is an exposed hammer or
striker; otherwise, on the rearmost point of the pistol. Alternately, a
weight equivalent to that of the pistol may be dropped onto the rearmost
point.
>Firing of the primer on any drop constitutes failure of the test.
>Commentary:
A rubber mat is used in consideration of the fact that due to the number of
different drop positions that are required to fully determine if there are
any "weak points" in the pistol design that may cause inadvertent firing, it
may be unrealistic and unreasonable to expect a single pistol to pass seven
consecutive drops onto bare concrete.
|
A gun that passes the drop test can be safely dropped on a rubber surface, but can still go off when dropped on a hard surface.

The Otterbox Commuter Series is definitely a good formed, solid, case. However, as the owner and user of an Otterbox Defender Series for my iPhone, I can tell you it really doesn't make your phone the "giant brick" it seems to be, in fact, it's a lot smaller than I originally assumed and is a very good, very protective, and somehow still aesthetically pleasing case. Lifeproof cases also offer good protection and the bonus of being waterproof while not making your device much bigger. And you can also moderately customize your colors on all three of these cases.
Also the Lunatik TakTik case is my dream case, it's badass and beautiful.

If we're doing philosophy, it is about proving propositions true or false; i.e., actually discovering some significant truth of the matter. Epistemic justification is one of the ways we evaluate attempts to determine that truth. All such attempts must be justified.
Occam's Razor is a heuristic regarding explanations, not evidence that any proposition is true or false. The latter is the [argument from ignorance](
|
everyone must backup their assertions with arguments and evidence. Not just theists. Everyone. There is no cosmic debate coach who is giving a special handicap to atheism.
|
It's simply because I see the terms agnostic and atheist referring to different properties about my belief. Neither sufficiently describe my beliefs, but together I think they do. For me it's a clarification of my position too. Had I only said I was an atheist, people might falsely believe that I a asserted that a god doesn't exist, and that's not the belief I hold.
|
The "Agnostic" qualifier is needed to accurately describe my belief.
|
The teachings of Islam do not entitle one to declare the teachings of Islam as law, or to establish their jurisdiction over neighborhoods. A gay man should expect to walk through a Muslim neighborhood, unmolested, because there is nothing that the Muslims in this video can rightfully do to stop him. Even them following and heckling him is technically harassment, and is criminal.
Your religious beliefs do not give you the right to dictate how other people should behave.

Oklahoman turned Chicagoan here.
To echo other respondents, what is it YOU are into? Rather than taking a piss out of your new place of residence, how about taking a positive perspective and seeking out opportunities to enjoy yourself. I'm sure your new employer would appreciate the attitude adjustment. Not trying to be a dick, I'm honestly suggesting that keeping a positive attitude can/will improve your life experience.
Sports and drinking are definitely viable options, not just for things to occupy your time, but opportunities to meet other folks.
There's also incredible indoor rock climbing in Bricktown, outdoor activities like mountain biking, hiking, camping (although many of these require leaving and heading in almost any direction).
There's a thriving art scene, tons of volunteer opportunities, lots of museums (Cowboy HoF fucking rules, Clown Museum, Nat'l Softball HoF, etc), several movie theaters and malls. Hell, even the zoo is great. Hot Air Ballooning? Archeology? Native American studies/culture? We got your ass covered.
But, if you're into deep sea fishing, you're fucked. We don't have that here. But, I'm you can find a SCUBA shop or two. And the Hong Kong Station sushi is in-fucking-credible. Seriously! Sushi! In Oklahoma Fucking City! I shit you not, sir.
For whatever reason, OKC gets a bad rap by everyone not from here. Sure, you drive through the state, some asshole cops gonna pull you over. You decide to HATE both OU and OSU, you're gonna find yourself feeling left out from time to time. You think Native Americans deserved what they got? You're gonna have a hard time making friends. But really, it's the same as everywhere else: You have a bad attitude? You're gonna have bad time.

Put a smile on your face, accept that this is where you live for right now, and treat it like anywhere else that's new to you: like a good sport.

Riding my bike to work and this guy rides past me and compliments my bike.
A week later a friend informed me of the post and I wrote back. We exchanged e-mails for a few days and then just kind of stopped.
Fast forward 2 or so weeks. I'm at my shitty job, slinging sandwiches at Jimmy Johns. We have a new bicycle delivery driver subbing at our store after an entire shift he casually walks up to me and he says "Oh my god! You're the one I was talking to from Craig's list!" We get a taco after work and begin to hang out, eventually pseudo date. Turns out he was sloppy, a huuuge douche-bag to my friendsboring, whiney, controlling and all around kind of a huge loser.

Responded to a missed connection. After a lull in conversation a few weeks later he is an employee subbing in at my job. Kind-of date. He's a boring loser.

How do you put a price on the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways or the German Autobahn?
My point is that somebody should try to put a price on these things. If we dress up all civil projects as being priceless, we cannot effectively make decisions and things get wrapped up in emotional rhetoric instead of actual objectivity.
Even within a transpo network there still have to be decisions. My poor example, poor as it is, is a nice bad case example. Not all roads are equally worthwhile. If there's some method of assessing what benefit a specific road provides, we can decide which roads to build/maintain.
If we just paint the entire network with a broad brush of 'priceless' we're going to end up with a lot of roads to nowhere and we'll go broke paying for them.

Hey, bro. Guess what I just found out. Chinese kung fu predates jujitsu by 1,000 years and jujitsu itself has focused almost exclusively on nonlethal techniques since the 1700s!
Not that the Japanese haven't been appropriating Chinese culture for centuries before that, claiming to have created it and that their version was superior. All Japanese fighting styles are descended from kung fu, then passed through the ritualised filter of the Tokugowa shogunate to emerge as their modern incarnations. To claim jujitsu is a pure killing art is just ignorance.
Next you'll be telling me the katana is the most lethal hand-to-hand weapon ever devised.

Re: history of Martial Arts, tell me something I don't know. I am well aware of the origins of Asian martial arts, from the journey of Bodhidharma to Shaolin monastery, to the persecution of Buddhism under the Qing that led to the destruction of the monastery and the spread of Kung-Fu by the five fugitive monks. Stop thinking I don't know about Martial Arts.
Clearly you're a Kung Fu practitioner who is moved by pride to defend his style/school. I assure you that attitude is counter-productive. All you'll end up doing is spreading the image of immature martial arts practitioners who don't realize such posturing betrays a lack of confidence more than anything else.
>To claim jujitsu is a pure killing art is just ignorance.
I have never claimed this. So far you've put words in my mouth at least three times. I don't care about what you martial skills are, but your debating skills sure do suck. Please stop.
>Next you'll be telling me the katana is the most lethal hand-to-hand weapon ever devised.

BJJ definitely caused a revolution in America when Royce was fighting. But his amazing success was primarily because he was fighting people who had no idea what he was doing. He'd set them up for an arm bar and they wouldn't see it coming, and suddenly they were helpless.
Contrast that to today. If you enter the ring and you're awesome solely at BJJ, a decent striker who knows how to counter takedowns and escape holds will win.
|
Royce's dominance was due to his particular moment in history, not the inherent superiority of BJJ.

Whenever I see that picture, I can't help but feel bad for that poor man. All he wanted to do was enjoy a nice simple ice cream cone. Probably jogged his memory and reminded him of his childhood when he and the neighborhood kids would play outside all day in the hot summer sun, biking and playing tag, and then run for the ice cream man when he rolled around with that always satisfying tune at the end of the day just as the orange sun started dipping below the horizon. Those were the days.
Then the seagull comes and snatches up his ice cream cone. Just like time did with his childhood and the simpler times when he was always happy. He is reminded of all his responsibilities and obligations in the world and his momentary Garden of Eden is shattered.

FUCK THAT SEAGULL.

When I was a we lad, about say 11 or so, my family and I took a family vacation, but we wanted to be different. Now I'm not saying that it's the most unique thing a family can do for vacation, but the Disney Cruise was the best damn' mother fucking vacation I ever did have.
Some of my fondest memories are from that vacation. Including a mother fucking sail boat ride. Now on this boat ride we went snorkeling with fish and turtles and on a beautiful Caribbean day. After all these wonderful adventures my family stops for lunch. At this point we realize there are a mother fucking shit ton of seagulls, and my father starts teasing the bastards to come and get his food.
He starts waving a pretty small piece of bread out over his head and procedes to say
"Take it if you can you ba-" and at that very moment, BAM, a mother fucking seagull snatches the small ass piece of bread from his hand. The fucking bird didn't even harm my dad's hand, and this is exactly how my dads face was too. Only thing thats better than that moment is remembering my first boner on a nude beach in the Caribbean.
|
went on tropic vacation and watched a seagull steal my dads piece of bread straight from his hand after he was daring the bird to do it.

Hook somebody with Q to pull them a small ways, walk backwards right when it hits to drag them a >2nd time then immediately press Q again, and you will dash to them and you can E them. So the result is=You >pulled them twice, you dashed to them, and then E'd them even further.

This. I've been doing this since the first day Thresh came out, and it drastically increases the amount of time you have a person under your control. Why not utilise the two pulls of the chain before flying to them, then knock them back with Flay? Ofc, there are times and places where you just wanna fly to them ASAP to save someone or initiate, but it's all up to judgement.

Yank them then come to them.

I respectfully disagree about Reddit being primarily geared for delivering news, but maybe this is because our homepages are set differently.
Point taken, it is rude to complain about reposts. I simply got angered because of the narrow time slot in which this was posted and typed it out. My apologies.
I had no idea cross-posting someone else's posts is allowed. I thought that this, of all things, would be against Reddiquette because I know how shitty I've felt when someone reposts my unpopular content as their own, and reaps thousands of karma that I felt that I deserved.
|
I still stand by what I said, but I'm sorry that I voiced my complaint.

not too relevant but for anyone that's a skeptic about this and thinks if you get a fox young enough and raise it as a dog it'll behave like a dog. You're probably wrong. I don't want to talk in absolutes since I'm basing this off one and a half experiments but in that russian fox experiment they had hundreds of subjects young and slightly older and not one of them was fit for a domesticated role until I believe it was EIGHT GENERATIONS of breeding the friendliest personality traits they could into these foxes. Also it is more of a vague memory but I remember a documentary in which a couple found or somehow got a hold of a wolf puppy and they decided to try and raise it with their dogs. It didn't work. Within a couple of months the wolf was exhibiting behavior which indicated it was unfit for a domesticated life. Although they treated it no different then their other dogs the wolf would not listen to them. It wouldn't even acknowledge that they were attempting to give it instructions at all. I don't believe it ever attacked them but if I remember correctly it began to become aggressive not just toward them but their other dogs which it had known since it was a puppy. Keep in mind wolves are, according to DNA markers, the ancient ancestor to all known dogs currently in existence. In short if these experiments are to be taken at face value it is straight up fact that although in humans nurture generally overcomes nature in foxes (and wolves) nature definitely plays a large role.
|
Please do not find a baby fox (or wolf) in the wild and think you can keep it as a pet. It will fuck your shit up.

If I hand wash, dry, polish and wax all in one go, I will end up with some really tired arms with about 1/3 of the car left to wax. At that point, I just keep switching hands until I'm done. My arms will be a little sore the next day along with my legs from all the squatting and contorting. If I use a stool, my legs are fine.
If I have to break it up and polish one day and then wax the next, I don't get worn out. I prefer to do it all at once, but sometimes the weather won't let me because it's too cold out, or it starts raining, or the sun sets early, etc. This is where having a garage would come in handy for me! But I always wax after a polish.
It's not as bad as it sounds. I really enjoy working by hand so I don't really see it as a chore. Seeing my car all nice and shiny is always worth it in the end! Hope this helps you a little.
|
If I hand wash, polish and wax all back to back, I start to get noodle arms towards the end. If I polish one day and wax the next, I don't.

Came here to say that. Love the TILs where kids "discover" things that everyone has known for over twenty years.

Absolutely. A lot of guys see it as unattractive because "it's gross when guys in porn do it." Understandable why a straight male would not be turned on by a male's voice. As a female, nothing gets me going like hearing any vocalizations.... Because I am sexually attracted to men.

YES.

I don't think it's considered necessary nowadays. It's personal preference. Do whichever you're comfortable with. Calling means you put her on the spot; but texting means you have the agonizing wait for a reply! I mean, whichever you choose, she might be like "Urgh, I hate when guys text to ask me out" OR "...call to ask me out". She has different ideas of what's correct, and you're not expected to read her mind! Tell you what though, if, when you've been dating a bit, you ask her "By the way, would you have preferred if I'd called you/texted you when I asked you out first?" I bet she'd be dead impressed. Shows you care and have manners and all that! Best of luck!

Texting is fine. It's up to you.

Basically cut corners when ever possible. Say a Scout Leader is doing some kind of mutual activity for the deacons/teachers. He's got 5 guys there doing the mutual activity. There is probably only 1 or 2 guys into it. They all do varying levels of said prerequisites for the actual merit badge. Maybe one go getter has actually done everything there is but most have half ass-ed the whole thing and are going to forget everything the next day just like school. The hour and a half are done and everyone gets signed off regardless of their level of participation. Then you have the BSA savvy ladies who can basically just call people drive over papers and you get your award to be handed out at the next court of honor. There were so many court of honors for eagle scouts at my ward that we were doubling and even tripling up for the awards. Pretty sure mine was with 2 other guys. Its frustrating for guys like me who go on 50 mile hikes and do more proactive things beyond simple church activities to get the special award. It doesn't feel very special or important when you and 3 other guys got it and you know at least one of them half assed it. I'm just a little bit bitter. If I want that on my resume, how do I know the boss looking it over is a sensible person aware of this fiasco or just another mormon who would appreciate it or anywhere in between.
|
Basically use your imagination of any way the church can cut corners weighing for the incentives at hand.

I dont know about a bible trivia game, but I would play the shit out of a bible fighter game... Mortal Kombat style, with satan at the top tier. Jesus would be one of the starting fighters to choose from, along with Gabriel, Cain and Abel, Adam (Eve would be in the back cheering) and a few others. God would be DLC. You unlock Goliath after the first playthrough. Id totally play that...
|
BIBLICAL KOMBAT!

Staunch]( just means that he's very firm in his beliefs. That just means that he's not really considering other faiths, as he already knows what he believes.
I would describe myself as a staunch atheist, but that doesn't mean I talk about it 24/7. In fact, I don't think any of my friends even know that I'm an atheist, since I've never felt the need to mention it.
|
That's not what "staunch" means.
|
As other people are saying, you should play them and pick the ones you like because beauty is in the eye (or ear in this case) of the beholder.
However, my opinion on the packs, even though i am inclined towards zildjian, that pack is not really well-suited for metal, whereas, the sabian pack is nearly made for metal. The Zildjian pack would be phenomenal for R&B, or Hip-Hop. But, the Sabian pack would be better for metal, in my opinion.
|
Sabian Pack is better for Metal, but play both and see what you like.

They cant pay taxes if they cant get legal documents.
This is completely false. The IRS will issue a taxpayer ID to anyone without a social security number. A US Citizen or illegal alien have the same legal obligations to pay income and payroll taxes. Employers who pay cash and don't report wages lose the tax benefits of paying employees and run the risk of getting in their own trouble.

Dey dernt pay taxes" is a myth.

So here was my only problem with this game, and new Mario games for that matter....they have gotten way too easy... Don't get me wrong, this was the first game I bought for my 3DS and I loved it (hardly put my 3DS down for awhile) but I just feel Mario games have gotten so easy lately. 10 levels into it and it's almost impossible not have 50 lives. And then from there smooth sailing. No I haven't 100%'d the game but I played all the way through and never ran into a level/bowser that I was like "I can't beat this". I know they appeal to a younger crowd as well now but where was that thought process with some of the original Mario games? When I was 5 playing Super Mario World it was the hardest shit ever!
|
I loved the game, and most of the newer Mario games that have released, but why are they so easy to beat!?!

This has a bit longer set up.
So I went on a vacation and was gone from my house for almost two weeks. When I get home I notice my room smells...funny.
I think, weird, maybe I had some dirty laundry that shouldn't have been left for two weeks and so I took my clothes out and washed them. I figure the smell won't go away immediately after I do my laundry, maybe a few hours or a day or two, sure.
I was wrong. The smell got worse. It started becoming unbearable. So I start sniffing everything in my room and throwing away anything I could part with that even hinted that it was the source of the smell. I tossed old hats, stuffed animals, etc., all while pumping a steady stream of febreeze into my room to combat the musky nasty mystery smell. I was not able to locate the source of the odor and just thought, "fuck it, I have no clue what else to do, I guess I'll just leave my window open (which I often do anyways) and buy a lifetime supply of febreeze.
A day or two later I go up to my room and I notice a trail of ants coming in and marching across my wall behind my giant dresser. I hate ants and was ready to start an ant holocaust. I follow the trail behind my dresser and the source of the mystery smell is solved.
A DEAD FUCKING BIRD was behind my dresser. It was a small sparrow or something, but I put two and two together and realized my window was open during my vacation (cause I lived in a safe neighborhood on a culdasac and my room was on the second story), the bird must have flown in my room, smacked my wall, limped or fallen behind my dresser and died. Now I can't stand the smell of febreeze because I just have memories of it mixed with the smell of decaying bird.

Ants finally did something good.

I used manage a bottle shop in a large suburban Brisbane shopping centre. One Thursday night a lady came into the store. She was South African and when we said "How are you, ma'am" to her, she replied "I've had such a busy day but, oh, how do you Aussie say it: No worries, mate?"
My co-worker smiled and said "Do I sense some sarcasm there, ma'am?" She stared at him and said "What did you just say?" He replied "I just asked if you were being sarcastic, ma'am?" "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?" she screamed.
I quickly intervened but nothing could placate this lady. She started screaming at us in Klingon and saying she's never been so insulted in her life. Then she started picking up bottles of cheap sparkling wine and throwing them at me. I dodged the bottles of Spumante easily but they exploded like landmines in our store. She then ran out the store screaming. She came back about a week later with her husband and apologised for her actions. She blamed it on menopause and gave me an Instant Scatchie for my troubles:

Mad South African lady has a hot flush and goes on a rampage. Give me instant scratchie.

I'll admit up front that this didn't happen in Australia but it was a really strange experience and I thought it might fit.
I was doing some archaeological work in Cyprus and we were staying in a museum there. One afternoon after coming back from site we were sitting in a courtyard washing the dirt off of excavated pot sherds when a couple of busloads of German tourists showed up. It was kind of like being on display in a zoo, but there was no barrier to stop these people. For about 20 minutes it was just constant camera flashes (at 3 in the afternoon in summer mind you...) and pensioners literally fighting to be at the front. We were swarmed with old sweaty germans in fishing hats and bum-bags. I had people putting their cameras in front of my face and blocking my view of what I was working on just to get a better shot of honestly pretty drab, fragmentary ceramics. They wouldn't speak to us, we were just another exhibit to be marveled at.

if i happen to run into other players, i may greet them. really depends on my mood.
that being said i was in a town on a trip, as i was destroying an enemy controlled portal, the current owner drove up. we greeted each other, i told him i was just passing thru, and that i was just trying to lvl up. he was super polite about it, which was great. after i had taken all his res down, i put up a full set of low level res right next to the portal. no point in being a dick or losing any high lvl equipment. said good bye, and was on my way. i found out later that i had killed 4 or 5 of his portals that night and that he had been following me taking them back.

just because the other team is wrong doesnt mean you should be a dick. its just a game.

w/o a full time Jungler lanes that can push push oh and push will be the meta with other lanes being locked into a stalemate because if you leave your lane to help a failing lane you lose most of the time a tower maybe two.
also not to mention that every MOBA game that I can recall has a roamer/jungling position

no roaming pressure makes lane phase boring oh so boring..

I found Guerrilla to be pretty much Just Cause 2 done right. Both games are very much about creating as much chaos as possible, but whereas Just Cause 2 fell very flat on its face in providing raw fun, Guerrilla manages to do it right. Not only are the game's environment destruction mechanics innately enjoyable by themselves, the game takes it a step further and constantly gives new bigger and better toys to play with, ensuring that you never get bored from doing the same activity repeatedly. Whether you're toppling 5 story buildings with your trusty sledgehammer or slapping structures around with a construction robot, Guerrilla manages to provide a sense of satisfaction that is not present in many games.

Get this game.

I disagree with installing nagios from sources. The ubuntu one is very well packaged using "standard" locations. The version is 3.2.3 which is the latest stable release, never versions don't have a lot of new features but so far all of them seem to have a mission-critical bug or two.

Nagios 3.2.3. is the most stable version out there.

I think /r/bodyacceptance is best for you, but I will say this: Stop weighing yourself.
Make your goals about strength, or distance you can run, or something along those lines. Work towards tangible, medium-term fitness goals based around what you can achieve, rather than how you look or how much you weigh. You've done amazing things in getting your weight down but fitness should have you feeling wonderful, not feeling down in the dumps. Ban yourself from the scales or from the measuring tape and enjoy your fitness because it makes you fit .
|
Focus on what your body can do, not what it looks like.

I totally just spent an hour composing a thorough, understandable, and disarmingly witty history of the mortgage meltdown, and exactly why it had nothing to do with monetary policy. Then while switching from a tab I was using for research, I backbuttoned it into oblivion. Ah, well.
The tl;dw (too long, didn't write) of it was this: the failure Bernanke is owning up to there is quite real, but it was a failure of the Fed's regulation mandate, not their responsibility for monetary policy. The boom was caused by bad paper being passed around the banking sector as assets, driving up demand for home-equity debt, and ultimately the price of homes. It was a bubble of inflation, caused not by the velocity of money (which is how interest rates are used control inflation), but by the misrepresentation of paper assets by a smallish number of cutthroat greedy bastards, and a much larger number of lazy and/or complacent folks under pressure to maintain a certain level of assets.
That having been said, inflation was on the high side in 2007; but the irrational exuberance in the mortgage sector was only a small part of that. Most of the price increases came from sharp supply side shocks in energy, and (consequently) agriculture. Overall demand was actually falling, and the big risk was stagflation, akin to the Carter era. Increasing interest rates and slowing the economy doesn't help curb stagflation at all; it exacerbates it. Raising rates would've probably been about value-neutral in the mortgage sector specifically (fewer people taking out mortgages; but more demand for the puffed up Mortgage-backed securities and Credit-Default Swaps that were the real problem); but it would've done unequivocal harm to pretty much every other sector of the economy.
Also, while I'm confident I'm righter than you are on this, I may be wrong on some of this. I'm not an Economist, but I do read it on the can.

Not monetary, regulatory. There's a difference.

The one time I was legitimately high on amphetamine-like things was when my friend left 54mg of Concerta in my room and I stupidly thought it would help me write a paper and I'd be fine. It helped me bang out a 16 page paper in half the time but then I was up for 12 hours grinding my teeth and generally freaking out. I was so fucked up, I decided it would be a good idea to try to calm myself down with some alcohol so I ended up straight chugging about 8 shots worth of cheap vodka. It didn't work but clearly I got drunk. I was so high I didn't even feel it at all though. It's time release, though, so I shudder to think about what would have happened had I figured out how to free it from its time release mechanism.

Ah, as a formerly depressed person all I can give you is my personal experience. Well, first off, when I was 3 my sister was born and got all the attention from then onward. Then my mom declared I was autistic with no authoritative test saying so, then put me in unnecessary therapy. Of course a teacher referred to me as "special", so I lost all prospective friends. Then my grades started slipping because I felt like crap and didn't want to do work, and in turn my parents punished me for it, making me feel crappier, leading to a downward spiral. Then they got divorced. I just sort of snapped at that point and lost all hope and emotion. It's not hate, or despair, or anything like that, it's just emptiness. Nothing to live for, so why "live" (metaphorically in my case, but in some cases it's not so).

Shit happens, there is no way to stop it or effectively deal with it, your world caves in, and you temporarily lose your humanity.

Ummmm she left the approval code, which can be traced back to the terminal, which can be traced back to OP. Good try. You are probably going to get fired if they see it.

No it's 10-15% if you're a normal person. Hell, you don't even really have to tip, especially if the service is bad. Tips are supposed to be a bonus for doing your job in a pleasing manner. If I'm doing well I'll tip super huge regardless of meal price, sometimes not at all with bad service or if I'm broke. If you have a huge party and order a bunch of shit and don't even leave a few bucks to a good server I mean your gonna look like an assbag to pretty much anyone omnipotent or not imo. Also, not paying them min. Wage is utter Norsedick.
Source: I've waited tables. A lot.
|
Tipping is a generous thing, not an obligation
|
Little known fact is that in most states, your employer only has to chip in to bring your wages up to minimum wage IF over the course of the pay period you make less. That's how I was literally paid less than my great great grandmother some days.
Oh and the no benefits part also means no sick pay or short term disability. Sick cooks, bartenders and servers handle your food every day. I don't care how many times you wash your hands, one food service worker with the flu will infect others. Many of my employees (once I was promoted) used to hide illness symptoms to avoid being sent home when money was tight.
|
Some of the legal ways that we allow businesses to treat their employees like serfs have actual negative consequences for the rest of us.

You can remove the word God and it still makes both people look bad.
You don't tip because you give all your money to charity? You're an asshole.
You do tip because you don't care about helping the homeless? You're an asshole.
Giving doesn't have to be about religion. It's about being a decent human being.
I don't understand why you guys can't take some of the good from the Bible (or any religious text) rather than disregard everything.
So now, giving what you can to a worthy cause is "religious bullshit".
Just because someone tithes doesn't make them a good person but people that don't give to charity but can...well, they're assholes.
Furthermore, in the original post, replace the word "God" with your charity of choice. What gives a server the right (yes, that is how servers treat tips these days, as an entitled right) to 15% - 25% when you only give a charity 10%?
|
Here come the downvotes.

This can be wrong on a multitude of levels.
To Go orders, in many cases, can require more work than waiting a table. People who operate the To Go desks are asked to do much more than "stick it in the bag."
People only form the opinion you have for one of two reasons: 1) They don't realize the work that many To Go people often do or 2) They're arrogant assholes who don't tip for the work that is done by the underpaid employee, they're tipping because the person made them feel like they were served. "I SEE the waiter serving me and it makes me FEEL good, so I'm willing to tip." Paying for the feeling of being waited on/served is not the same thing as paying for the service. If it were, people would tip To Go people more.
|
To Go people usually do as much "service" work as waiters. You just don't see it. Tip your To Go people.
Source: Former restaurant GM
Edit: To your second of point of "why do I have to pay?": It doesn't matter. People like you would cry if the servers were paid a decent wage and the food cost was higher. The dollars spent would be the same either way, you just get a choice in being an asshole this way.

First why do you say that was a failure? Sounds like a success to me. The biggest thing is what you take away from it. Everyone has there own pace but I would say for this long run and with your hills try to go a 7 or 8 min kilometer 8 feel free to allow yourself to go slower up the hills. Also make sure you do your warmup and then spend some serious time stretching out those legs especially your calves, you will want to do 2/3 different calf stretches(assuming that's where the burn is).

15 mins is great!

I'll chime in, even though many have already. It is date 1 (or even date 0, if you consider you have not really fully encountered them before.)
Something low-key, like coffee, a wine bar, a cafe, or a park are ideal things to do. These don't take that much time, and if the person cannot make the time to fit any of those in during the week, it is not necessarily a red flag, but it is something to consider.

I try to keep most of the weekend to friends/family/errands.

Yesterday was all around weird for me.
I woke up without power, so my entire day was basically off-kilter. I mean, has anyone else tried prepping for a date via candle lights and a flashlight? It makes it way more difficult that I really would like. Either way, it should have been a sign.
Get to my first date with this guy where we grab a round of drinks. Conversation is flowing, but still fairly light-hearted. We're bouncing around from topic to topic and I'm really enjoying it. Plus, there was accidental knee grazing throughout the hour and a half. This part is awesome.
Then I get to the last five minutes when we finished our beers. He awkwardly ends it as, "Well, I should get going." I mean, it's 9:15ish and he has work tomorrow. Fair enough. We walk out and part ways, where he faces me and says, "This was fun." Umm, what? So now I'm just confused and have no idea how to proceed.
|
Went on a first date with a guy. First hour and fifteen is awesome and the last five minutes is awkward, so now I'm just confused.
Edit: So, I messaged the guy, but he also called without even knowing about the message! We're going out next week! Okay, so I may be a little excited...

Don't put so much faith in course listings. Like deadundead said, it's not a general Islamic History class, it's specifically about women. When you bring up the "meat' of the course you seem to be under the impression that that "meat" is Islamic History, it's not. It's Islamic History as applies to women. When I took a Sex and Gender in Japanese Buddhism class I didn't go int expecting Buddhism 101, because that is a different course.
EDIT:
|
Women/Gender in X classes are always more focused on the role of women/gender than the field itself.

Morsi's aid is wrong!**
US refused to accept German Jews prior to WW2 - and they got murdered by NAZIs.
1937 : Hitler asks European countries and US to accept German Jews (he was a bit shy of final solution back then).
1938 : US organizes Évian Conference about Jewish question . The only country that agreed to accept jews was Dominican republic (which was later forced by US to revoke it's invitation).
1939 : MS St. Louis .
1940 - US Senate torpedoes Wagner Rogers Bill
1942 : [Wannsee Conference]( - final solution conference by Hitler - too late to run away for jews.
so quit spreading lies mr. Morsi. get a grip!

Jews went to america - but they were not welcome there and were sent back to die in NAZI concentration camps.

Morsi's aid is sooo wrong!
US vehemently refused to accept German Jewish refugees - it was sending them back to Germany in fact.

simply ignorance or perhaps a shade of pride as well. People build on previous ideas without ever questioning why we accepted the previous ideas as fact.
Now I have no university education in something relevant to biology but from my other university experience I would have a hard time believing that.
Do you have experience with education in biology in universities, maybe even in different countries?
>It has always, ALWAYS been the person willing to confront the consensus that has revolutionized any field.
Well, how long does that usually take? How old is creationism? 80-120 years? And how much funding did it get in this time? Alone the creation museum cost 27 Million Dollars according to wikipedia. Wouldn't it have produced something convincing yet?
Are there really revolutions to expect in fields like biology in that one of the leading theories turns out to be completely false? Maybe some centuries and possibly several decades back when there was actually very little known at all about how the world works, but today with all the large scale modern science that has gone into it? Now the understanding of biology is actually decent enough to genetically engineer plants or grow new hearts from stem cells (well, nearly) and there are so many other fields that borrowed the ideas that have been found out in evolutionary biology. For example evolutionary programming / genetic algorithms. And the best thing: It works as well as expected.

I would highly doubt that something as well supported as evolution would be completely overturned. Parts are surely inaccurate or incomplete but completely wrong? Not really.
> In fact I remember reading a scientific article recently about the dangers of consensus in science. Interesting stuff!
Yes, but I would think that this only makes it take longer for bad science to be detected.

This is easy. Of course, we would be hospitable to them and coexist peacefully with them as our guests. We would send a delegation bearing gifts to their home planet, exchange technologies with them, and prosper together.
What we would definitely NOT Do is to imprison them, impound their spaceship and reverse engineer their technology. We would not run lab tests on them for genetics, sexual traits, disease-resistance, exposure to extremes, psychoanalysis, brain structure, and language - all while disavowing any knowledge of their existence to anyone without the proper security clearance. We would definitely not engage in espionage with their home civilization by use of torture and intimidation.

Aliens don't exist. If you have proof suggesting otherwise, please stare directly into my flash-emitting memory erasing stick. Above all else, I have no knowledge of peculiar activities that occurred in Roswell New Mexico and I definitely have never heard of the term area 51.

I'm a lawyer, and although I'm in court every day, most of my time is spent at the office. It's a mixture of reading, reading, more reading, writing, correspondence (physical letters and emails), more reading, phone calls, meetings, and clerical work.

being a lawyer is fucking boring 95% of the time

I do sales at an office job for a major US bank. We're not tele-marketers we're told, because the people we call are already our customers, and we're just making sure they have our best products. I actually really liked the work, it was a treat to get the one person a day who was lonely and wanted to talk, or better yet genuinely interested in what I had to say. The pay is shit, but everyone knows that going in to the job that the real money comes from your commission, which could easily double your salary.
Until this fall. Due to high turn-over, we were taken from our usual work and placed in to customer service roles during peak times. It became more about how many calls we took than how much we sold, though with our unique position we had much better calls (compared to standard CSRs) and were still expected to sell, which we did well. Apparently too well, as in 2013, we are being relegated to doing both jobs regularly, and having our commission cut to almost nothing. Our hourly pay is that of CSRs, but we are expected to do two jobs at the with next to no bonuses.

Don't do sales for a major corporation. They WILL find a way to screw you over.

I'm a supervisor for a solar install company.
Here's just a basic list of my day-to-day tasks.
schedule and dispatch our technicians as well as deliveries and installs
Invoicing and billing, not just paying our guys but also paying other companies
sales - Have to be knowledgeable on all products and services offered
referrals
Go-to person to fix any issues with the computers or printers
file and track permits with all of the local cities (and send out their checks monthly)
File for customers to receive rebate incentive checks from their utility company (and do all required paperwork and follow-up)
Call people weekly - if necessary - to remind them to schedule necessary inspections
answer hundreds of questions about solar per week. Especially "How do I turn the water heater temperature up/down?"
All of this while helping to keep our offices clean, handling any complaints we receive, and trying to make sure everyone is taken care of as quickly as possible. Typing it out, this all seems like a lot (and I know there's a lot more I'm forgetting - Don't think, just do), but it really is just a regular day. I couldn't do it without my boss, she's awesome.

I'll tell my story, just to give a counterpoint.
I work in an office in a developing country. I manage a project that works on improving working conditions in garments factories. My team goes out to factories and trains people. Occasionally we do workshops. So I organize those workshops, work on the content, go along on factory visits occasionally, write reports, do the accounting and oversight, monitor the garments sector and political developments in the country (affecting export industries).
Additionally, beyond the project, I look for funding from other donors. I also just set up a recycling project where we aim to increase the amount of waste recycled, to protect the environment and so that poor waste collectors can make more money.
I spend most of my time in an office, but I love it! I get to work on many different things, which keeps it interesting!

Office work doesn't have to be drudgery.

this.
Learning salesmanship is a life skill that will not only help your career, but your personal relationships and even personal growth (despite that most sales reps suck as people, but those aren't true sales cats anyways, they're the sociopaths who give us bad reputations because they can't seem to see past their commission check).
That being said, if the revenue makers didn't have the rest of you good folk to make sure our clients are happy... We would have nothing -of value- to sell!
If I can accomplish anything in my life, it's to help both parties more inherently recognize the symbiotic nature of their relationship. Along with that recognition, better pay for those who excel at making clients happy, instead of it all just going to the guy who could care less if he promised the world to a client, without any responsibility for the fulfillment.
/end rant.

salesmanship is of the greatest skills one can learn in life and at the same time support staff deserve more credit.

Speaking of Piece of Mind, To Tame a Land has such a great intro. I despise the verses though. Then when it transitions to the second section about 3 minutes in, it's better again, the guitar solos are pretty sweet. But that first section it like the Invaders Chorus to me.

Revelations is the most beautiful song ever written, Still Life comes close

How bout no... and go fuck yourself? You're on the internet pussy. If you cant handle it, then go cry to someone who cares. You must not be very headstrong in your decisions if you regret something you did to yourself. Obviously I have thought about this. Hence the reason I am asking for a specific tattoo. The artist didnt wanna fuck it up and draw something I didnt want, so I was reaching out to the zelda tat community to see if they had any cool drawings of an 8 bit triforce.

Just get lost pussy.

Imo you should stick with some easy supports for now like lich,lion and try to learn from your teammates or enemies (or just from the overall match),try and remember what skills the heroes have and what they can do with those.Dota (and all things for that matter) is basically a trial and error thing,you learn from your mistakes,but to not get flamed and all,try and learn from 1-2 mistakes.
Go from 2-3 heroes and add from that,i dont think all random is a good idea,you will get overwhelmed with information and nothing will stick in the long term.
|
go lich support for now,dont hit your creeps at all,let the carry hero do that (unless they are hitting your tower) ,just sacrifice them for mana non stop (3rd skill) and harass the enemy heroes with your 1st skill,so you act like a babysitter for your laning partner;go green boots (tranquil boots) and heal yourself if needed,you will have infinite mana,and buy a mechasm for the aoe heal,that's it.

Don't worry about letting down your team. If you lose, your team will be more than happy to find a scapegoat.
If that happens to be you, regardless if you deserve it or not, just be aware thar you're not "wasting their time", because you aren't. If they feel like they're wasting their time by losing, it's their own fault for keep playing the game without a 100% winrate.
If they'll blame you for the loss, there are to was you can think of it. One would be that you're doing them a favor by keeping their delusion of being perfect alive, or that they're simply morons for blaming you for the loss.
Regardless of what you enjoy about this game, losing is part of it. If youo cannot accept that, you have problems, not the guy you accused of being the sole reason for the loss.

Flamers have absolutely no reason to flame/blame and you have all the reasons in the world to ignore them. Unless they are your friends and they're trying to help you improve, in which case you should happily oblige.

Actually, the buggy thing is that her 3rd Q cast slams the ground instantly, and the animation of Riven doing a front flip comes later, what isn't supposed to happen. And also when you want to do 3rd Q and fast W, it feels delayed as fuck.

Riven's 3rd Q cast isn't synced with her model animation.

I love my job! It's hard; I work long hours; and some days are really draining. But most days are fun. Many days have amazing moments. I work with incredibly talented teachers who inspire me, and I love my principal. I look forward to faculty meetings and professional development days because I know I am going to learn something new from my colleagues. My students challenge me, inspire me, and some days make me want to run out the door screaming like a lunatic. I care about every student, from the straight A kid who always participates to the kid in the back with the hoodie and the attitude. I have been teaching for 20 years.
Not every job I've had has been so rewarding, but I have been fortunate to change districts three times, and each move put me in a better situation. There have been times, especially early in my career, when I was extremely dissatisfied with a boss, or school policies, or my own performance. I think most teachers' careers hit highs and lows, and we have to aspire to a level of professionalism: keeping the focus on the students, keeping the other b.s. outside the classroom, and knowing when we just need to find a new place to work.
Please don't get discouraged by what you read here. I think many redditors see this as a safe place post their opinions (and sometimes frustrations) to a group that can empathize. My engineering and accounting friends just never understand the emotional investment I have in my work. They don't quite get how a bad lesson can make me moody over dinner and how a cool new project can keep me babbling on all weekend about how excited I am. They most definitely do not want to hear about my awesome new rubric or how I totally modified tomorrow's assignment for the ELs. ;) Of course, I make them listen anyway. But, it is nice to be able to share some stuff on /r/teachers that I might not tell anyone else.
Your post reminds me that there are many new teachers here, and I hope that nothing I post ever discourages a new, enthusiastic teacher. We need you! When you look for a job, try to get a feel for the vibe at the school. In as much as you have a choice where you will be hired, look for a match for your optimism, a place that values and nurtures enthusiasm and is willing to invest in the success of new teachers.
|
Love my job; sometimes you have to find a new job; teachers vent here; find a job to match your enthusiasm.

Trees and cliffs block vision. This is a vital information you need to know before you place a ward. However, the circle will make most newbies think that they will have vision inside it, while in almost every case this is completely false. The rev wards, in the other hand, DO give vision over the invisible heroes/units even if the trees block the vision, which means that the circle around it is not causing any confusion.

it's just as fine as it is

So, first, some back story. This girl and I had a fling our sophomore year in high school. I continued to have a crush on her after we broke up within a few weeks (ahh, high school). Shortly after we broke up, she dated a senior for nearly a year. We remained really close friends (I was kind of friend zoned, but I was not overly protective/clingy and we stayed in the same group of friends.) After they broke up, she came crying to me. She fell asleep in my arms that night, and I thought for sure I was in. A few days later, we were sitting in her car, just talking. She ended up telling me that there were quite a few times in her relationship with this guy that she had almost just given up and left him for me. I responded with "Well we could start now." and she replied with "No, we can't. I don't feel that way about you now." Fuck it, met my current girlfriend a year later.

Girl and I had a thing, broke up, after a year she said she almost got back with me during that year, denied me while telling me that.

I had a huge crush on a shy guy in high school. We were barely friends, never moved past that. Almost four years later, I see him in the parking garage of my university. Turns out he just transferred. I was dating someone else at the time, but we started talking again randomly on Facebook. My boyfriend broke up with me, and I start talking to Shy Guy more often. He gave me his number and texted me every night for two weeks. We finally hung out, he introduced me to all of his friends, and even put his arm around me when we were with them. One night, after watching movies at his house, we kissed. After that, we started sending flirtier texts, kissing more often, and I was really excited. Like I said, I've liked this guy since high school. Anyway, my ex-boyfriend started a lot of drama and I had to deal with that for a while, but I didn't mention it to Shy Guy. Ex-boyfriend drama ended, and I started thinking about how I was not ready for another serious relationship, but I would still really want to be friends with Shy Guy. All of a sudden Shy Guy stopped talking to me, and wouldn't return my texts. I finally texted him and asked if he hated me and what I did wrong. He explained that he's still in love with some girl he's liked "for forever." He said he thought we'd start dating, and that he didn't want to go down that road, so he started ignoring me. He apologized, I forgave him, and tried to explain that I really enjoy hanging out with him and still want to be friends. He said he needed time. Haven't talked to him since.

Guy I've liked since high school suddenly starts talking to me again after four years. He makes all the first moves, seems to be really serious, then stops talking to me and says he's in love with someone else.

I'll just add a bit here, Yongsan Electronics market is one of the best places to go if you want to roll your own PC. There are some really good deals if you are mindful of the product codes and prices. Joyzen, joyzen.co.kr is my 'go to' for base price checks and I usually work out from there. Don't buy anything online, you can probably get it cheaper on site at yongsan.
I grabbed a pair of Chenbro 2U chassis both with redundant power supplies for 99,000 each. Price check that in the west... probably $200 without PSU. For a moment, I felt like I was buying hot items but it turns out they were just off lease units and they were clearing inventory.

Go to Yongsan...

It's not a matter of dethroning them. It's just that for some of us like Ryko and myself, that amount of money is a lot to throw down to take a gamble on.
So think about it this way:
Winter Brawl is going to run you like... $30 by train to get from New York to Philly, both ways in the best case. The Venue fee is $40. The entrance fee is $10. Then you have to consider housing/hotels and what not. That's going to run you about $20~30 to buy into someone's room if you're lucky.
So in the BEST case you're out $110 just to play in the PSABR tournament at Winter Brawl. And the payout will not in any sort of way cover your cost of travel unless you take first with at least like 24 teams playing in it...and the profit line then is very minimal.
It's not like Marvel where winning is a few hundred/thousand dollars and you get all the swag prizing on top of it like a stick/headphones. This is basically a side tournament for a game that isn't going to have a lot of entrants.
You basically are by default a pot monster unless you know for sure a large amount of people are going and you are fairly sure you can beat every last one of them. That's fine. Whatever... just for two working adults, the time and effort isn't compensated enough.

I'm not paying $100+ to prove I'm good at a game when I can prove the same thing online and keep that extra $100 for groceries, clothes, etc.

RECAP: 14 or 15 year old OP gave about $3000 of savings (allowance money from parents) to "day trader" dad to invest and they didn't have any understanding of what they were investing in. They lost most of it and obviously the 14yo OP feels entitled to the allowance money that was lost. Dad offers to repay OP, and OP is happy happy to get allowance money back.

spoiled 14 year olds are the worst people in the world.
