Some of my favorite videogames now and growing up are one's that always required you to be near your opponents. Fighting games were and still are (currently waiting for Street Fighter V to unlock on steam) some of my favorite genre of games as I spent a lot of my youth in arcades. There's just something about playing against someone while they're right next to you and seeing their reactions and frustrations. I had a natural attraction to games that incorporated "couch co-op" so things like side scrolling beat-em up's, FPS's with local multiplayer or at the least LAN support. I've been saddened to find a lot of more modern games moving away from these types of games with many only having an online option for multiplayer. I felt like I lost what I enjoyed about games because of the almost isolated feeling of online games. Sure you can play with friends and chat with them the whole time but something felt like it was missing, I wasn't getting the satisfaction of seeing someone react to situations in the game and with that I lost a lot of interest in FPS's beyond one's with good singleplayer campaigns. Fast forward and I now have two kids and a friend with a daughter who's around the same age as my older daughter. He invites me over to play some boardgames. He introduces me to a game called "Munchkin" and I'm immediately hooked, The game (at the time) was a lot of fun to me and I immediately bought a copy and two expansions. I've since bought many more games (bordering an obsession) because it rekindled a lost love I had which was that feeling of playing games with friends in the same room, watching their reactions and sharing in victories or losses. Arcades might be dead and online games seem to be the future but there's something about playing games locally with a room full of friends that I feel can't ever be mimicked online. TLDR: Boardgames helped rekindle a love I had for local multiplayer and LAN parties.

The way Melee detects the control stick in this game is by comparing where the stick is at any given moment in relation to the neutral position it starts in when the controller is first plugged in. By modifying that neutral position by holding the control stick in a direction, you can change where "neutral" is. For explanation purposes, I'll be using "true" directions as the direction the control stick appears aesthetically" and "modified" directions as how the game adjusts to modifying from true neutral. For example, if you hold 'North' slightly, you can modify east and west so that your perfect angle wavedashes/wavelands are straight horizontally, without affecting your crouches or tilts. Of course, your DI would be impacted by this. Obviously, it's difficult to apply something like this to a greater extent because of how much it affects movement. The same mechanics apply to the C-stick as well, where you can modify directions by holding the Cstick somewhere different from true neutral. This is particularly interesting because modifying neutral into true north territory puts you in a position to ASDI down automatically. You can check out some of the implications here: Of course, there are consequences to this, including: -You buffer spot dodge unless you are holding the cstick true north -You lose the ability to up smash out of shield (I think, unless you could go <tap jump/neutral/upsmash> while in jump squat, seems hard af) - You lose C-Stick Upair, and have to do Bair/Fair by inputting a direction more (true)north of true NE/NW. -ASDI often overrides normal DI (For example, ASDI on Fox's up air isn't nearly as effective as just control stick DI, to my understanding) However, Yoshi can easily mitigate most of these negatives. Yoshi cannot spot dodge out of Shield (EDIT: with Cstick Down), so the buffered spot dodge will only input if Yoshi inputs the full shield in 1 frame (meaning if there's even 1 frame of light shield, no spot dodge will occur) You can pretty easily mitigate the C-stick aerial issue as well. See the image here: To get the ASDI, the Cstick simply has to be in the orange section. But to perform a cstick aerial, you simply need to move the cstick in that direction, while the Cstick is already in the orange. This means that if you place modified neutral in the northern part of the orange section, but not fully north, you can still do C-stick up air. This would also generally make Fair/Bair perform-able simply by inputting true NE/NW. The ASDI issue is then mitigated by holding up on the Cstick while trying to smash DI in specific instances, as the stick would be in the modified blue region that ASDI inputs are ignored. TL;DR If Yoshi is willing to use diagonals instead of horizontal for C-stick aeries, and holding up on the Cstick while SDI'ing, Yoshi can automatically ASDI downward and make amsah teching much easier +punish basically everyone's jab at any percent under ~225. Everyone can do this, but it's easiest with Yoshi because his shield is quirky. To do this, hold the cstick most of the way north (but not the full way so you can still up air) when you plug in the controller. Edit: someone brought up that this would make Parrying much harder, because I don't think you can parry with lightshield. Feel free to drop knowledge bombs if you understand how it works better than myself, but this may be a net negative.

I am traveling through the small mining town of Karthwasten when an Elder Dragon appears. At this point in the day, everyone is outside and begins to attack the dragon together. Even the Silver-Blood mercernaries (who are at odds with the townsfolk) jump in with the guards to take down the common threat. Soon after we begin our defense, a second Frost Dragon appears! To deal with the added force, (main quest spoiler)[I call upon my new dragon companion Odahviing](/spoiler), but my request arrives upon deaf ears. As the two dragons proceed to ravage the town, I try as hard as I can to turn their attention towards me and away from the townsfolk. The odds are against us, but I want to save as many people as possible. As I jump on the Elder Dragons head to deliver the deathblow, a third appears! (Main quest spoiler)[At first I assume that it is Odahviing finally answering my call, but I am soon proven wrong as it begins to attack the guards.](/spoiler) I think to myself that this has to be some sort of organized attack. This last arrival is a weak dragon, but the townsfolk are now weary from the battle. The Frost dragon is brought down easily enough without the help of its Elder. Facing defeat, the third dragon quickly retreats. Having never seen a dragon do this, I continue to watch the skies for a few moments, bewildered and tired from the events. Convinced that the threat has passed, I look around the town for casualties. I hope for the best, but expect the worst—this town had just gone through the worst attack I've ever seen. After staring at the Frost Dragon's corpse, the townsfolk convene upon a body. I take a closer look to find that it is Ainethach, the owner of the town's mine. As I speak to the other miners, they speak out of loss and worry. "Ainethach is dead. What will happen to us now?" I have no idea what to say, and am not even permitted a response. I walk around more, hoping there are not too many other casualties. There are a couple dead guards, and a Silver-Blood mercernary. Fortunately there were no other townsfolk or miners among the dead. I left the town victorious in battle, but feeling terrible. The town lost its most important person, leaving its future uncertain. No happy ending here, but that's usually the case in battles such as these. **TL;DR:** Three dragons attacked Karthwasten. Two are slain, one fled. Ainethach, the town leader, is killed in the battle.

Enough lurking for now because I need your help gunnit. I was at the range yesterday and had a squib round. I was using Tula Ammo on my Norinco SKS. At first I thought it was just a jam because the bolt half cycled but when I manually cycled it to extract the round, I noticed what seemed to be dust everywhere. I realized that it was unburnt powder and put the rifle out of commission. I asked the range master who said I'd need to consult their gunsmith (who wasn't there at the time) and it would be $40 at a minimum. Now I know the way to get it out is a dowel rod and mallet, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't just eat the cash and have a professional look at it (the range guys mentioned possible barrel bulging or other problems). Advice? (And thanks in advance) **TL;DR Squib round, should I pay a gunsmith or do it myself** **Edit:** Thanks for all the input, I'll probably try extracting the round myself with a brass rod or dowel with a shell on the tip as several of you said. I'll probably post an update after I get home from traveling for work. Thanks again all, you're a very welcoming sub.

Gross story on both ends, btw. I have apparently contracted some sort of stomach virus, and as such, am sick as a dog. When I'm sick, I don't really care what I eat, because it's going to come shooting out of one end or another. I get there at 12:00. If it matters, I used to work there, but haven't for two years. (Thank the fucking lord because I swear to Christ if I would have had to spend one more day there I would have probably gone more insane than five and a half years of working there had already made me). I did not know the name of the employee who I interacted with. Another side note: when I worked there, if you didn't wear your nametag it was an insta-writeup). I got sidetracked, sorry. So I went into McD's and waited for six minutes. apparently they're short staffed. This part, I understand. but what I don't understand, and found quite disgusting, was displaying a bleeding arm, explaining that they were bleeding, and cleaning with the same type of rag used to clean the tables. What I don't understand, also, is trying to get me to come back when I've said "never mind" and am dashing out of the store on the verge of puking. tl;dr: Montezuma's revenge finally relented for a split second, long enough for me to get food. Hurricane Nausea set in and I turned into Sonic the Hedgehog to get the hell out.

My wife and I were discussing the other day and she dropped a bit of a bombshell on me. She basically said that although I am "very technically proficient" in bed she feels that our sex life lacks passion. She feels like I'm too concerned about pleasing her or getting something wrong that I don't seem to "lose myself" when we have sex. At first I felt a bit hurt and I didn't really get what she meant. I know that there are times when I feel a bit awkward and sometimes I do this stupid giggle if I get something wrong but for the most part I thought I was a pretty passionate guy in the sack. She mentioned that she just thought I wasn't into "passionate sex" but more touchy feely (lots of kissing, cuddling) type sex. She then went on to describe what she meant by passsionate and used the sex scene from Monster's Ball as an example. Two people just completely lose each other in the moment. There's no concern that one person might not orgasm or that one might orgasm too soon. It's just about two people who are depsperate to be with each other. The strange thing was, after she descirbed this to me I began to realise that I think this is something that is missing in my life. I started thinking about what it's like when I fantasise about her (and other women to be honest) and my fantasies are exactly as she decribes. In my head it's not about expressing love it's wanting to fuck her brains out, regardless of how long it takes or whether she has an orgasm, etc... The problem is, how do I tap into that feeling in real life? This has had a massive impact on me. Since our talk, I've hardly slept. At one point I woke up next to her feeling more turned on than I can ever remember. I felt like I was going to explode and just wanted to reach out and wake her up to ravage her. In the end I couldn't bring myself to do it. (Ironically she confirmed this morning that if I had woken her up she'd have been pissed). To add to the complication, we have two you kids so it's not like I can just grab her at any point and fuck her on the kitchen table (though I really feel like I want to). This is driving me crazy and I can't seem to stop thinking about it. tl;dr...Realised I am missing passion from my sex life and am desperate to throw off my inhibitions and just fuck my wife!

She mentioned that she just thought I wasn't into "passionate sex" but more touchy feely (lots of kissing, cuddling) type sex. She then went on to describe what she meant by passsionate and used the sex scene from Monster's Ball as an example. Two people just completely lose each other in the moment. There's no concern that one person might not orgasm or that one might orgasm too soon. It's just about two people who are depsperate to be with each other. The strange thing was, after she descirbed this to me I began to realise that I think this is something that is missing in my life. I started thinking about what it's like when I fantasise about her (and other women to be honest) and my fantasies are exactly as she decribes. In my head it's not about expressing love it's wanting to fuck her brains out, regardless of how long it takes or whether she has an orgasm, etc... The problem is, how do I tap into that feeling in real life? This has had a massive impact on me. Since our talk, I've hardly slept. At one point I woke up next to her feeling more turned on than I can ever remember. I felt like I was going to explode and just wanted to reach out and wake her up to ravage her. In the end I couldn't bring myself to do it. (Ironically she confirmed this morning that if I had woken her up she'd have been pissed). To add to the complication, we have two you kids so it's not like I can just grab her at any point and fuck her on the kitchen table (though I really feel like I want to). This is driving me crazy and I can't seem to stop thinking about it. tl;dr...Realised I am missing passion from my sex life and am desperate to throw off my inhibitions and just fuck my wife!

My wife and I were discussing the other day and she dropped a bit of a bombshell on me. She basically said that although I am "very technically proficient" in bed she feels that our sex life lacks passion. She feels like I'm too concerned about pleasing her or getting something wrong that I don't seem to "lose myself" when we have sex. At first I felt a bit hurt and I didn't really get what she meant.

So I'm at 0g (8mm), and I had taped up to it but the first time I taped up close then tapered and tore my ear and then I let it heal and was back up within two months (one week of taping). Now I want to go to a 00g (10mm) using the taping method. My ears are pretty loosened because I play with them constantly. Yesterday i started taping up and ordered a pair of 00g and 7/16" plugs for once I get there. I have 3-4 layers on my plugs currently, how should I continue this without messing up my ears again by tearing them? TL;DR How long and how much tape should it take to stretch 2mm?

I hate to admit it fellow redditors; but I was starting lose hope in our hero, and starting to wonder if a vote for Johnson was a vote for Obama. I mean I heard it 200x and I was starting to get brainwashed.. BUT... Gary was wide open tonight; veins popped out of his neck as he spoke. Chills ran down my spine and I had goosebumps all over my arms and legs while he spoke, and I'm not a goosebumpy kinda guy. There is absolutely NO doubt in my mind that if he were to debate Obama/Romney with this energy, neither one of them would stand a chance in hell at winning. I think he has a plan, a plan to shake things up in October. In my honest opinion, it is Johnson vs Obama in this election. GJ has my vote and I can not be swayed. Gary Johnson 2012!!!! tl;dr GJ + in person = awesome.

Wasn't sure about posting this, but I wanted some insight because research only goes so far. So my family and I have AT&amp;T. Used to live in N. Royalton and will be moving back to Olmsted area soon. Our coverage in Royalton was good, outside. Was atrocious indoors (0-2 bars frequent dropped calls) and is currently horrible at my work (N. Ridgeville) to the point of us pushing for a switch. Between it killing my battery constantly because of weak signal, or having to say can you hear me more times than I care to, I'm prompting to change. TL;DR Who's your carrier, how's your service, what area are you in, and any issue spots?

When I was 15 my mum bet me a cat (I'd been begging, wheedling, and nagging for years, but she remained resolute) that I couldn't keep my room clean to get standard for three months straight. Then she made the mistake of forgetting about it. The months later - "Hey mum, my room is pretty clean." "Yep." "Is been really clean for the months now." "Well done." "You don't remember, do you?" "Remember what?" "Meow." "....awwww crap!" tl:dr, I got a cat.

First of all, to everyone that will say "why do you complain, the buddy system is just an extra bonus over what we already have, you should be thankful" i will say this: I stopped playing seriously few weeks ago because the current system (without the buddy) is not enjoyable at a certain state/level, as you need to rely on complete rng. So without further adue, this is the problem : We are talking about a game, that is trying to incentivize people to walk/run. The point of the game (other than obviously making money and stuff) is to get more people to adopt a healthier life style, go out, run, walk, bike, etc. Yet the most effective way to play PoGo, is to sit, inactivly at a lure. (and biking is not an option anymore as it is always too fast) They had the opportunity to change that with this feature. To make walking/running more profitable than sitting at a lure playing lottery. Yet they make the reward so insignificant, that it is just a "let your buddy there so you get an extra candy once in a while", instead of "go take a walk because that 1h walk will be more profitable towards that 1 specific pokemon than sitting 1h at a lure catching that same pokemon once or more with 50 other pokemons". To me, and many others, walking/jogging is simply not enjoyable. The extreme sweating, burning sensation in the lungs and leg ache, name it, is simply not en enjoyable sensation. We don't have the satisfaction of running aimlessly to increase our cardio which for 90% of the people is something you don't need to improve in your everyday chores/tasks. What I see is a missed opportunity to motivate people to do something they normally dislike, by adding a reward they find satisfying, because running 5km for 1 candy, is not satisfying. Having to run 30min a day, everyday, for 4 months to fully evolve a single dragonite, and 2 more months to train that single pokemon from 20 to 30, is not realistic. Its cool that it is now a feature, it will help people already running, but is not enough to get people to do it. People that are normally not motivated to run, will do it for a week, notice they got a total of 7 candies... and say "forget about it, not worth it". People that never ran before, can't run for more than 15-20 min at a time when they start. 15 min barely give you half a lapras candy, how is that motivating, I dont know. Why do people care, if people they dont know, will never meet, can finish their pokedex. Why does obtaining and training pokemon has to be pure RNG. Why can't I actually work towards this in an active and rewarding way, rather than a painful random grind. Whats the problem if running for a total of 5 hours (or walking for like 15 hours) can give you a pokemon fully trained, or fully evolved. Why can't this feature allow me to train my hypothetic 100% Nidoqueen, a pokemon that is not tier 1, so nobody bothers using their precious super limited stardust on. Why can't the buddy system be an healthy alternative to evolve/train pokemon that are so rare you only see once in a while, without requiring the stardust you spent your entire month collecting. Make it also give stardust, and make it a party of 6 and/or make the distance requirement award 5 times as much and/or give 2 more infinite incubator (lvl 10 and lvl 20) and you suddently make walking/running a beter, healthier and funnier way to level up and powerup/evolve your pokemon than sitting at a spot with 4 lures. You suddently don't rely only on luck while immobile, and rural players can finally train and evolve that 1 single growlithe they saw in 2 months. **TLDR:** most people quit or slow down drasticly at a certain point, because the few remaining pokemon missing are simply too rare and will require way too much time standing still at a good lure stop, playing pokelottery (lvl27 and never seen a lapras/chansey/snorlax/aerodactyle, 1kabuto 1 grimer in the middle of a big urban city). Buddy system could've been an healthier, as efficient way to evolve/train pokemon you've obtained at least once, but is sadly only a very insignificant bonus and inefficient way to obtain candies.

We're pretty much just complex tubes .. When I think about it as objectively as possible, my mouth is just a fancy-pants end cap at the top of my digesting tube. It's only slightly more advanced than the other end cap. Everything that goes through (in) us, gets all the good stuff extracted and piped to my *actual* insides while the leftovers get piped out. TL;DR We are sentient donuts with guts for dough, and skin instead delicious glaze.

I think he will/would hold his own. Lebron likes to drift and play free safety, and Nate knows how to capitalize on that. If Lebron doesn't drift, he's not going to be in a good shot blocking position because Nate plays back a ways from the arc. Nate's already shooting over larger defenders unless he's up against JL3 or JJ Barea, so I don't think adding more height to the equation is going to change anything. Lebron does take away some of the driving ability because of the chase down blocks, but I'd make him make the block if I were Thibs/Nate. Make James swat it and make sure that Noah's close to grab the 'rebound'. TL;DR I REALLY want to see this.

I'm very sorry to hear this happened to you. It's a terrible thing to do this to a child. You've obviously been damaged by it, emotionally and physically. All I can say is, and I'm not trying to be mean, but you MUST turn him in! If he could be possibly doing this to your siblings, or hell, even your mother, wouldn't you want him to be stopped? You owe it to every possibly impressionable female (or, hell, male, who knows) around your family to turn him in. You apparently have enough evidence to support your claims, and I'm sure once he's locked up and can't harm the family everyone else will testify for you. Please do this. Be strong. tl;dr: Turn his ass in immediately before he can harm the rest of your family, if he already hasn't.

I have one friend who has an irrational hatred of Santana. Whenever he makes an out all I ever hear from him is how Santana is terrible. He also still pouts about not having Victor any more either, but at the same time Masterson is his favorite Indian. I always make sure to ask him if he wants Casey Blake back instead of Carlos. TL;DR My friend is terrible at being a baseball fan

i'm in high school. i've just gotten out of my first long term relationship of two years with my first love, the person i truly thought i was going to spend the rest of my life with. it was a very codependent and in a lot of ways unhealthy relationship, but i love him very much and he loves/loved me too. we both have a lot of mental health issues and were both sort of responsible for keeping eachother alive for the past two years to an extent. our last conversation ended when he threatened to kill himself if i got with another guy (a coping mechanism that isn't working thus far) and storming off in a rage while i cried hysterically in front of a bunch of kids from school. after that incident, my dad called the school and now he's not allowed to talk to me at school anymore. since the breakup, i've been incredibly depressed. i've started drinking again and smoking weed to stop thinking about it. i've also started cutting for the first time in over a year. i've had lots of suicidal thoughts and ideations because i've lost all of the people closest to me since i got with this other guy, and stupidly (aka drunkenly) made out with him at a school dance in front of my ex boyfriends sister. i don't even remember it happening. i've been crying every day and have been having a lot of trouble getting out of bed in the morning and generally taking care of myself physically. last night i cried so hard that i threw up and had a bloody nose. not only have i lost my best friend (my ex boyfriend) but my two other best friends are no longer speaking to me. theyre both good friends of my ex boyfriend but i thought that they cared about me more than this. my main reasons for staying alive right now are my little sister, my ex boyfriend (i know he would blame himself if i killed myself), and one of my best friends whose no longer speaking to me (she had a really close friend kill himself this summer and she was so devastated, i just wouldn't want to put her through that again). everyone keeps telling me that this will pass, but it just doesn't feel like it right now. has anyone been through heartbreak before with the added weight of depression and is there anything i can do to relieve the pain in a healthy way (i.e. not cutting or drugs or fucking a ton of other guys)? thank you TL;DR just went through a breakup with my highschool first love and i'm mad depressed-- cutting, drinking, smoking, etc. got with another guy and now none of my closest friends are talking to me. lonely and sad as hell. what can i do to make it better?

Liberalism isn't that important, but it helps. Atheism isn't necessary, but being a reasonable human being is. Anti-war? War is an obsolete, destructive mechanism. Being anti-war is as silly as being "pro-breathing" as both positions are necessary for the human race to continue existence. "Believing in science" is an extremely broad condition. If by that you mean accepting science as factual, then I must observe that would be wholly ridiculous to elect someone who operates entirely within their brain stem, and be in favor of electing this candidate. If you mean that this candidate believes science is an important thing to pump funding to, then this candidate would have wholehearted support from me. Equality is an interesting concept here. "Believing in equality" is a pretty broad concept, so I'm going to go ahead and assume that you mean the equality of all humans. Examining that understanding of humans would inevitably lead you to socialism, which I see as the only sustainable option. Net neutrality is covered with equality, no need to repeat myself. tl;dr: Hell yes!

I think we should seriously consider coming up with a new name. I don't think that there is anything particularly wrong with the current one, and I realize that we can't change the name of the subreddit, but "Entlantis" just comes off as us sounding like a bunch of stoners who want a place to smoke legally, when in reality it's so much more than that. This is something that isn't necessary now. This is something that may not be necessary six months from now. But from what I understand, the current idea is that we purchase a small town as sort of a 'test drive' to ensure that we can be self-sufficient, and to collaborate about future efforts. When *that* happens, I believe that a new name should be used so we can be taken seriously. People need to know that there is this place where they can be free from unjust laws and prohibitions if they want to. We need people contributing to the cause. More people than we have here. As I type this, Entlantis has 1,394 readers. Obviously, that would be more than enough contributors. But how many people would actually join? Maybe 5%? I know I would, but let's be honest here: most people on this subreddit will not see this through until the end. I am dedicated to finding the few who will and moving on with this project. I had suggested in another unrelated thread that we change the name to "Project Serenity". Another Ent commented agreeing that a name change was necessary. No other feedback was heard there, so I figured I'd make a direct post about it. If you have a suggestion, post the suggestion here. We will then gauge a winner via upvotes. Assuming that the Mods and a majority of Entlantians agree, I move to change the name. *tl;dr* I think we need a new name. If you have a suggestion, post it here. Edit: It has become obvious that the majority of Entlantians prefer the current title. Please consider this thread null.

We've been together 8 months and I very much love her and she loves me so much it's making her upset every night about me going. I don't want it to end but, I know it's going be difficult (especially with freshers fortnight coming). I once kissed a girl at a gig(start of relationship)and we got over it but, shes always been scared because, our trust barrier was broke. She said to me recently that if she seems distant it's because, she's making sure she isn't to upset if we do break up because, I know she struggles with anxiety and panic attack. I don't know what to do. I'm scared and it hasn't even started yet. TL;DR: Going to uni and scared about relationship. Any advice on how to make it work.

I have a friend who used to ask me for loans all the time. She's a single mom with three kids and back in the day, she was in legitimate financial straits. She also sucked at managing what little money she had. I loaned her money at first, but then realized she was never going to pay me back. After that, whenever she came to me with pleas for help, I would offer her goods or services-- groceries, diapers, free babysitting, etc. and told her that she owed me nothing for what I did. Not only did the requests for cash loans stop, but knowing that her basic needs would be met helped her de-stress and deal with her situation better (including getting her finances straightened out.) She also started doing a lot of things for me-- she'd send her older kids over to help me clean, or bring me dinner, or other random acts of kindness. **tl;dr** Love all, trust few, do wrong to no one.

A lot of people have already mentioned the "exigent circumstances" exception to the warrant requirement. The exception allows the police to search without a warrant where "[a]n emergency situation requiring swift action to prevent imminent danger to life or serious damage to property, or to forestall the imminent escape of a suspect, or destruction of evidence." United States v. McConney, 728 F. 2d 1195, 1199 (9th Cir. 1984). It's kind of a loose test. This actually presents a pretty interesting legal issue for anyone who happens to get busted for pot or something while the police are conducting these "exigent circumstances" searches; does this attack constitute an exigency that reasonably allows them to enter and conduct plain-sight searches in HUNDREDS of houses? I'd feel comfortable arguing that it doesn't. tl;dr: lol no they don't need a warrant b/c this shit's crazy and the cops gotta find this dude

Before Reddit I would "surf" the internet. Ever since coming to Reddit I rarely venture elsewhere. And when Reddit goes down I just find something else to do.

In Grade 2 I found a key while sitting in the library. I happened to be next to a receptacle, so I did what any self-respecting 7-8 year old boy would do; I jammed the key into it. Nothing happened. I was pretty disappointed. When I got home, I was analyzing my failure and it struck me. "All of the plugs have two pieces!" I promptly sought out a thin metal object to supplement my key. I snuck to my room, went right over to the receptacle with a key in my right hand and a wire clothes hanger in my left, and I jammed them into it... I think I got buzzed for what felt like a solid 5 seconds before I could let go. Afterwards, I was terrified that I was going to die but even more terrified to tell my parents. TL; DR- the warnings make some idiot kids (i.e., me) even more curious about jamming things into receptacles...

Hi r/sex, I am a boy and my age is 20 and I am not circumcised. I have been with my girlfriend for about 2 years soon, and in all that time everything have been great. However in the late summer (I think) I started getting these pains from my foreskin after we have had sex. At about the same time I had begun to run like 3/4 days a week and I do not know if it is because of all the sweating, but right now I feel a slight pain whenever I pull back my foreskin and also in the beginning of and post sex (I do not think that it is phimosis, can that just arrive at my age?). I will have you noted that these possible splits are not visible to me. Right now I am trying to cure, whatever it is, with something called [Helosan]( (skin moisturizer). I apply it every morning and evening on my foreskin and it has helped some but not cured it. I have also been more hygiene fixated. So my question here is: Has anyone else been through this thing? Should I continue or just let it rest? Or should I do something completely else? Could it be some irritation after sweeting a lot in the summer? Are we just too rough? Or just ask if you need anymore information. TL;DR: 2 years of great sex, suddenly foreskin tears (?) or splits (?), what to do?

Saw this post in another thread and am reposting it here because I think it deserves more visibility. All credit to /u/WMUKirk, the original poster (hope you don't mind me reposting this): I tried to data-mine today and bungie has implemented a lot of changes. Instead of Xur having one single constant IP on one port, he now has multiple. If you join a tower instance and you're the only one there, Xur will have 16 different IP address. If you join and its 8 other people, Xur will have 9 different ones. Only one of the possible IP's you connect to will share the packet information you need. The others will include self-input data like controller movement, date &amp; time, and other player constants. To combat this I used zone alarm on each IP separately until I isolated the one that sends the packets for weapons. This took considerably longer than I thought because each unique IP only sends packets for a 45 second window and then they stop for 100ms, and then restart. This made it hard to decipher the hex code and decide if there were any patterns. Finally, once I managed to isolate the IP, find the pattern, and looped it. Every 22 packets started with the same 8b Hex. Bungie had literally broadcasted every thing as a No Land Beyond. This is what I found(obviously a troll), but yeah: No Land Beyond 999 Attack Kinectic Damage No Land Beyond 488 Defense Warlock Chest Piece No Land Beyond 366 Defense Hunter Gauntlets No Land Beyond 447 Defense Titan Helmet TL:DR Bungie has employed 8 servers from their network, and 8 from Activision. They've employed a fail safe on 15/16. They constantly shuffle ports and IP's that lead to nothing. The one IP that does lead to anything has the name No Land Beyond for every weapon, armor, and upgrade.

Dear Mr. Derp, Thank you for contacting me about the USA PATRIOT Act and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). President Obama in May 2011 signed a four-year extension of three of the Patriot Act's key provisions, and the FISA Amendments Act was extended in 2012 for five years. Though some concerns remain about how these laws have been implemented, these provisions have been subject to strict oversight by Congress, the federal courts, and independent auditors and inspectors-general in the executive branch. Section 215 of the Patriot Act, often referred to as the business records provision, allows the government to track terrorists' call records by analyzing which numbers those terrorist suspects may have called. This type of search is conducted with oversight by the judicial branch, and regular audits by independent inspectors-general. Such queries are legal, have withstood court challenge, and are validated by Supreme Court precedent. The nation's senior national security officials have provided concrete examples of how these authorities have stopped numerous terrorist plots. I strongly believe that there should not be a trade-off between our security and the freedoms and civil liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. That is why, as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I have worked to ensure that these authorities are used in strict accordance with the law, and under close supervision by both Congress and the courts. The Senate Intelligence Committee has held numerous hearings and briefings on how these authorities are implemented, and, by overwhelming bipartisan majorities, has upheld and extended them – provided they continue to be closely overseen. Terrorists remain intent on attacking the United States. We must give our law enforcement and intelligence agencies the tools they need to prevent these attacks. We have had many close calls, and attacks have been averted – sometimes thanks to these programs. After September 11, Congress and the American people called upon the intelligence community to better connect the dots. Congress passed numerous laws by bipartisan majorities that gave them the means to do so, but within strict parameters, and under robust oversight provisions. I have supported the President's decision to temporarily extend the provisions that provide critical tools that have enabled our intelligence and law enforcement communities to effectively track terrorists and thwart attacks. However, as critical as they may be, these authorities require active and appropriate congressional and judicial oversight to strike the right balance between civil liberties and counter terrorism requirements. I believe Congress must continue to scrutinize the Patriot Act and FISA to assess these authorities' effectiveness while considering the potential impact to our Constitutional freedoms. Continuing to require "sunset provisions" that require these authorities be re-authorized every four or five years have allowed Congress effectively to do so. As a member of the Intelligence Committee, I have read the court orders, met with analysts and agency heads, and believe these programs have operated properly, and within the parameters laid out by Congress, to protect Americans' security, constitutional rights, and privacy. Nonetheless, I have and will continue to ask tough questions about whether there might be ways to improve the way these authorities are used in order to further ensure Americans' privacy rights are protected. Again, thank you for contacting me. For further information or to sign up for my newsletter please visit my website at Sincerely, MARK R. WARNER United States Senator _______ TL;DR: I'm not voting for him. He supports acts that have effectively butchered the 4th amendment. I will not support any politician who will not defend the constitution they swore to uphold.

Hello! I'm not sure if I worded the title quite correctly, but I'll do my best to explain. Basically, the past 3 anime I've watched have been SoL/Comedy, which I definitely enjoy. There was Nichibros, Kirino Mosaic, and Working!! While I definitely enjoyed all these anime, there are two things I really want that they couldn't provide. Firstly, I want some sort of direction. Preferably something that will actually keep me coming back for more episodes, rather than just making me want to pick up an episode here and there. It took me a month and a half for Nichibros, watching it in-between airing anime episodes, and another month for Kiniro Mosaic. I enjoyed them, but since they had no direction it was hard to watch much at all. Even Working!! (Binge watched it the past 3 days) wasn't the best at progressing some sort of plot. It was funny, but a lot of the jokes were repeated and the whole show didn't seem to go anywhere. The progression can be an action plot, or a romance, or a mystery. It doesn't even have to have a strong plot to it (For example, I enjoyed Saekano, which had a direction but was still very SoL-ish, I suppose?), though. Secondly, I want the characters (At least the main protagonist(s)) to be likeable. For Nichibros, I absolutely loved the characters. They were hilarious and had great personality. Kiniro Mosaic was a little more trope filled, but I still loved it quite a bit since the point was to be funny and cute. Working!! had some nice characters, but holy crap, some characters drove me up the fucking wall. It was really hard watching Inami, the manager, Aoi, and the incompetents. For me, it's fairly difficult to make me hate characters, but if they're lazy, incompetent bastards it drives me insane to watch them. It also is extremely annoying when they're a type A tsundere, or they constantly cause trouble for others (Looking at you, Inami). Also if they're just total scumbags (See Sorata from Sakurasou, Amarty from S&amp;W) Other than that, though, I'm fairly tolerating of characters that aren't complete scumbags. So that's about it. Here's my MAL: If you have any ideas, or see something on my P2W that I should bring to the top, please let me know. I hope I made it easy enough to understand! Thanks. :) tl;dr-- I want an anime with even something resembling a plot, and characters that are not lazy and incompetent, type A tsundere, or absolute scumbags. (Although for a villain, the last isn't quite as important. EDIT: Forgot to add, for preferences, romance is always good so long as it isn't inconclusive. And if there is such a thing as a series like Working!! minus Inami, Kyouko, and Aoi, please tell me! It won't be my next series that I watch, but I would love to see it! I was super hyped to watch Working!! but the characters I disliked made the experience a lot worse than I was hoping.

I think the problem is not that they need encouragement to make new supports. The problem is more related to the amount of time, effort, work, etc to create a new support champ. Making any champion is probably a hard task but I think making supports are the hardest. Why would you choose Lulu over Janna, or over soraka? They have to make pros and cons to the champ so it encourages variability in champ choice. I bet you are asking "yo fewjative, so far that seems like the challenges with every new champ". That is correct but I think the difference is in a supports variability of roles. An ad carry can really only be an ad carry, just as a AP carry can't really be the ad carry on the team. Sure you can go malz IE + PD but thats not exactly what I am talking about. A support can fulfill many roles, just take a look at lulu. Phreak jungles, Guardsman plays solo top, others play her as AP and a lot play her as support. How the heck does riot make her balanced for each of these roles? I am sure riot is consistently trying to make supports but its not as simple as everyone would like it to be. Giving them huge sales helps but to what extent. TLDR: From what I know, Riot wants to make supports but it is challenging. Buy lulu because she can fulfill a variety of roles.

I used to get into arguments with people who called these locusts. Me: "They're Cicadas" Idiot: "No man they're locusts." Me: "Locusts are large grasshoppers that fly and devour crops, these things live the majority of their lives underground and when they emerge they can't eat at all, they just make noise, mate, lay eggs, and die." Idiot: "No man they're locusts." Me. "God damn it...." TL/DR Idiots call these insects Locusts.

The story starts when my gf's best friend breaks with her boyfriend, the guy moves because his job and my gf help the guy to ease thing between him and his ex by convincing his ex to go to the restaurant where he used to work. The girl was on vacation in my gf hometown and the guy was working there. Fast-forward Guy becomes friend with gf, he would come over and hang around with us. Gf would help him when he had problems and he would give her a hand when we were having a difficult time. Fast-forward They're are no longer friends, the guy was being a dick with gf. Couple a months ago we lost the rent's money and had to ask her best friend for a loan. Weeks ago we realise that he was the only one besides us in the apartment, we didn't have visitors besides him and he knew where the money was.... Yesterday when cleaning I was moving my 360's games (use to play AAA games on console before having a powerful enough pc) cds to a multi-cd case I found that most of them were gone along with the other multi-cd case I had The saddest part of this besides being backstabbed again by the same asswhole is the sentimental factor of those cds. Not only I've lost almost all of my 360 physical games (just two survived) but also my original xbox games. Bye JSRF, by Blinx, bye Amped, bye M vs C 2, bye Fable, bye games that favourite cousin gave me when her parents divorced (she stopped playing :/ ) ....etc all in perfect state Bye all my childhood saving and birthday presents because my father didn't have much money at the time and I could only get the console and then it was up to me to buy games for my pc and console. Bye (mostly) all my 360 games, games that I never have the time to play them all and bye games that somehow symbolized my finally having money to enjoy my hobby. Tl:dr gf's bf breaks up with her guy, gf helps the guy, they become friends, guy's a dick, friendship over. Then we found out he stole money from us and a case full of og and 360 games each one special and with its own story .

there are no "un biased" news sources. If you want to educate yourself on political news, look at as many news sites as you can. First, look at the main stream media, for a general view. But don't limit yourself to news and media as a source of any decisions to vote. Take EVERYTHING a potential politician says, and research the hell out of it. for example, if a campainer says some thing about another campainers past, look it up. find out if the claim is true. for example, take a look at what Romney and Santorum bash at others, and with a little Google magic, you find that Romney and Santorum are the ones who need to be bashed. Google is your king, Google is your master, Follow it and you will become educated and wise and harness the powers of the force. **TL;DR Fox News killed my cat and spun it as the liberal agenda**

I think I did that. But then I ended up buying the huge pack with everything on one of the sales I think so now I just have the steam version anyway. But I have done that with other games. I think I have had problems with older games though (like original DoW games) so maybe I'm just making this up about Rome. TL;DR I just want to talk.

I think I need to break up with my boyfriend. I'm not feeling any kind of spark or chemistry now. I haven't really for a while, but it's been easy enough to put to the back of my mind because he's a good guy and easy to relax around and be silly. But I've realised I've been avoiding him for the past week or two and I've done a bit of soul searching, and come to the conclusion that he's not the right guy for me any more. We got together when he kissed me out of the blue (well, not quite) early one morning after staying up all night hanging out in the common room together, back at the start of the year. It was my first kiss, and I was extremely nervous and my tummy was filled with butterflies and whatnot. I was really happy. I have been really happy for months. I didn't think he would stay around for a long time, but I knew he was good for me. He's a wonderful guy, he's attractive and smart and we have several similar interests and it's been a good run so far, but I don't think we fit quite right. The problem is that now I've come to the conclusion that he was Mr Right-for-now, but now he's Mr Right-for-then. He's content to stay around at our dorm and just hang out in each other's rooms, and not go out and do anything. I'm not content with that any more. I want to go out and do things, but I don't want to be the one organising to do it all the time anymore. I've already brought this up with him twice before, and nothing's changed. We also have different views on the world. I have a million things I want to do both during and after uni, and I love going out into the world and travelling and meeting people and being involved. I get terribly swept up in dreams and ideas - and while he's not like that and so keeps me grounded, I just can't see the same drive in him. I'm finding myself moving ahead faster than he can keep up. The biggest issue is, I think, the fact that he is much more in love with me than I am with him. I can say that I love him, but it's turned more into a I'm-terribly-fond-of-you-and-care-about-you-a-lot kind of love than a romantic one. When we were talking the other night about how I'm feeling unsure about things, he told me he loved me more than anything else in the world. I cried and asked him to not say that to me. It tore me up inside, because I don't return his feelings in the same way anymore, and I certainly never have at the same intensity, especially because we've only been together for seven months. I can't even say we've been dating seven months, because we just haven't dated. We've been together but it's hanging out and not going out. I've never had that with a boyfriend. My previous two relationships ended up long distance and it sucked, and this relationship seems to be essentially the same thing except for the distance bit. I want to experience dating, the going out and doing fun things with people and getting to know them. What I have now is comfortable, but it's really *boring*. I hate being bored. I've spent a few hours crying on the phone to my Mum this weekend, and I stayed the night at a good friend's house last night to have another good cry and talk my situation out. I think it's inevitable that I end things. Mum suggested ways I could try to fix things, but I don't want to fix them with *him*, if that makes any sense. We're coming up to the end of the year soon so I thought I could always just ask for a break over summer and then end things quietly, but that's not a fair option for either of us. I think it's going to have to be this evening, or if not, then very soon. Exams are less than a month away and I can't break up with him just before they start - that'd be terrible idea. The worst bit about this is that because there's still six weeks before I'm finished with this year, and we're on the same floor, and have a class together, I'm going to have to see him for that six weeks. I don't know what to do. Do I break up with him today, or wait a couple of days? How do I even bring it up? I'm probably going to be all tearful and snotty and then go hide in my room and pretend nothing's wrong as best as I can. It's awful. Really I just need a huge hug and someone to tell me it will all be okay. /rant **TL;DR** I don't think my relationship is going anywhere and I don't want to be with my boyfriend anymore, but breaking up is difficult and sucks and I'm a mess. :( How can I handle this without hurting either of us too much, and how do I deal with seeing my soon-to-be-ex around constantly for the next six-ish weeks?

Hey folks, This is my first FR. Also this is a new user account because my old username was too close to my real name. I'm in a LTR, but I run harmless game because it's fun and I like to know 'I still got it.' Dropped off the whip at the dealership a few days ago to get some minor body work done (damn that tree stump just off the side of my driveway). Got a call a few days later and dropped by the dealership after work to grab the chariot. At my dealership (MB) there's a service reception counter manned by two HB7s (perhaps HB8s if you're feeling generous but let's just call them 7's). Both of them were early-30's, well dressed business attire (grey slacks and white button down shirts, conservative hair) staying busy on the phones. I guess you could consider them hired guns because they're fairly attractive and have to deal with a ton of AMOGs / Rich Douche Bags. I work in tech so there's no dress code - I arrived wearing new balance kicks, blue khakis and a golf shirt. Also let's not forget my man purse (I have no fucks to give) and "lunch bag" (used white retail shopping bag, super ghetto with a grease stain from my dirty tupperware). I'm also 29 so I'm not their average customer. First thing's first - I approached with a big smile and gave them my name so they could get a "car jockey" to bring down the hoopdee. It was obvious a huge thunderstorm was coming, so the first thing I asked was whether they brought their umbrellas to work. Noticed that HB7A was itching her nose, and I started teasing her a bit about it. "Your secret thunderstorm sense." I told her she looked really cute and all I wanted to do was scratch her nose for her. I asked if they get a lot of douche bag customers being rude to them and so forth, and HB7B told me she often deals with drunk rich dudes trying to run game (drunk? really?). Next I found out their credit card reader was broken, and they had to process the transaction with a paper record. Out comes the slidey-machine. Told them about my fond memories of my mom paying for cabs with the slidey-machines when I was a little kid and transitioned to my natural interest in the cab industry. Her slidey-machine was also on the fritz and I told her she was like the modern day MacGyver as she scraped her pen across the paper receipt with my card under it. She said, "Who's MacGyver?" I stared her in utter disbelief and told her MacGyver is the world's great detective and she needs to watch more vintage TV. At a certain point HB7B started the whole, "You're really funny. I bet you're fun to hang out with" thing and I knew I was good to go. HB7A said, "feel free to go look at some cars, yours should be ready soon." I replied by saying, "Yeah ok it can be like a game of hide and go seek. You have to come and find me. It'll be super fun. I might be in a trunk." She liked that. I sauntered over to the back of the showroom and saw a fairly good looking (another HB7) Sales Associate. I asked her some silly questions about the new C400 (what's up with that tacked-on display, looks like a glued on iPad knockoff) before I realized she had a cool accent. I told her I had zero interest in buying a car (waiting for maintenance) but we should keep talking because it was fairly empty. I asked her where she was from and responded that she grew up in Cairo before moving to Canada for University. As soon as she told me those two details it was over. She crossed from the "professional" frame to the "non-professional" frame. So I just showed insane interest in Cairo and what it was like growing up there and what was the economy like for educated people and jobs and culture and just tell me everything. She had anime eyes going pretty hard after ten minutes of genuine wonder and excitement about her story. At this point, HB7B was walking over towards us, and she approached, seeing her competition smiling and laughing, and told me the ride was ready. Cue awkward eye contact between HB7B and Sales Associate. I said thanks and she left. At this point, I told Sales Associate that she was awesome and I loved our conversation. She should give me her number so we could talk more about all of it. First number closed. Next, left the showroom and walked back to the service counter to say thanks. Looked at HB7B (I liked her better than HB7A) and told her she was awesome and would love to hang out and scratch her nose sometime (right in front of her friend, who cracked a big smile). She said, "Are you sure? Looks like you got along with Sales Associate pretty well." I just said,"Do you blame her? Your friend also thinks I'm fun." Number 2 closed. I deleted them both when I got in my car. Like I said, I'm in a LTR. But it felt great. TL;DR - Dropped off car for service. Gave no fucks and had lots of fun. Picked up the car a few days later, along with a Service Receptionist and Sales Associate.

Also let's not forget my man purse (I have no fucks to give) and "lunch bag" (used white retail shopping bag, super ghetto with a grease stain from my dirty tupperware). I'm also 29 so I'm not their average customer. First thing's first - I approached with a big smile and gave them my name so they could get a "car jockey" to bring down the hoopdee. It was obvious a huge thunderstorm was coming, so the first thing I asked was whether they brought their umbrellas to work. Noticed that HB7A was itching her nose, and I started teasing her a bit about it. "Your secret thunderstorm sense." I told her she looked really cute and all I wanted to do was scratch her nose for her. I asked if they get a lot of douche bag customers being rude to them and so forth, and HB7B told me she often deals with drunk rich dudes trying to run game (drunk? really?). Next I found out their credit card reader was broken, and they had to process the transaction with a paper record. Out comes the slidey-machine. Told them about my fond memories of my mom paying for cabs with the slidey-machines when I was a little kid and transitioned to my natural interest in the cab industry. Her slidey-machine was also on the fritz and I told her she was like the modern day MacGyver as she scraped her pen across the paper receipt with my card under it. She said, "Who's MacGyver?" I stared her in utter disbelief and told her MacGyver is the world's great detective and she needs to watch more vintage TV. At a certain point HB7B started the whole, "You're really funny. I bet you're fun to hang out with" thing and I knew I was good to go. HB7A said, "feel free to go look at some cars, yours should be ready soon." I replied by saying, "Yeah ok it can be like a game of hide and go seek. You have to come and find me. It'll be super fun. I might be in a trunk." She liked that. I sauntered over to the back of the showroom and saw a fairly good looking (another HB7) Sales Associate. I asked her some silly questions about the new C400 (what's up with that tacked-on display, looks like a glued on iPad knockoff) before I realized she had a cool accent. I told her I had zero interest in buying a car (waiting for maintenance) but we should keep talking because it was fairly empty. I asked her where she was from and responded that she grew up in Cairo before moving to Canada for University. As soon as she told me those two details it was over. She crossed from the "professional" frame to the "non-professional" frame. So I just showed insane interest in Cairo and what it was like growing up there and what was the economy like for educated people and jobs and culture and just tell me everything. She had anime eyes going pretty hard after ten minutes of genuine wonder and excitement about her story. At this point, HB7B was walking over towards us, and she approached, seeing her competition smiling and laughing, and told me the ride was ready. Cue awkward eye contact between HB7B and Sales Associate. I said thanks and she left. At this point, I told Sales Associate that she was awesome and I loved our conversation. She should give me her number so we could talk more about all of it. First number closed. Next, left the showroom and walked back to the service counter to say thanks. Looked at HB7B (I liked her better than HB7A) and told her she was awesome and would love to hang out and scratch her nose sometime (right in front of her friend, who cracked a big smile). She said, "Are you sure? Looks like you got along with Sales Associate pretty well." I just said,"Do you blame her? Your friend also thinks I'm fun." Number 2 closed. I deleted them both when I got in my car. Like I said, I'm in a LTR. But it felt great. TL;DR - Dropped off car for service. Gave no fucks and had lots of fun. Picked up the car a few days later, along with a Service Receptionist and Sales Associate.

Hey folks, This is my first FR. Also this is a new user account because my old username was too close to my real name. I'm in a LTR, but I run harmless game because it's fun and I like to know 'I still got it.' Dropped off the whip at the dealership a few days ago to get some minor body work done (damn that tree stump just off the side of my driveway). Got a call a few days later and dropped by the dealership after work to grab the chariot. At my dealership (MB) there's a service reception counter manned by two HB7s (perhaps HB8s if you're feeling generous but let's just call them 7's). Both of them were early-30's, well dressed business attire (grey slacks and white button down shirts, conservative hair) staying busy on the phones. I guess you could consider them hired guns because they're fairly attractive and have to deal with a ton of AMOGs / Rich Douche Bags. I work in tech so there's no dress code - I arrived wearing new balance kicks, blue khakis and a golf shirt.

Had this one a while back - Upon killing an enemy their head drops along with their stuff. In order to score a 'point' the player/team must bring the enemy head back to 0,0 into a shrine of some sort. Team/player with the most points wins. Killing a player who had a head will of course drop both heads. Having everyone go to the center draws more aggression and action. Game ends when one team/player is left standing, victory goes to both the headhunter/s and survivor/s. Optional - if it were teambased and fast-paced enough, a player could collect their teammates head and 'revive' them like freeze tag using a golden apple. The teammate could rejoin, naked and at lowered health. Perhaps the teammate could spawn somewhere randomly. **TL:DR** Killing an enemy drops a head. Bring to 0,0 for points. Revive teammate by rescuing their head and giving them a golden apple.

I think you could do almost anything. I'd just work on building skills. That being said I would choose a place that you can spin during an interview. This was already said but I think it's worth repeating. If you have an area on focus look for ANYTHING related to that area. My focus is young childhood. I was unemployed for a year and ended up moving in with my sister and raising my nephew for the first 15 months of his life. That experience has earned me so much cred with employers and clients. TL;DR work your social worker muscles wherever you can

I know I listened to it on libravox. The story starts with a bunch of people trapped on an asteroid there is an escape pod but there isn't enough space for them to all fit. The main character who i think isn't supposed to be in the meeting suggests that they either start chopping off body parts or he can get one of the other crew members to volunteer to stay. The crew member he has in mind is in the middle of genetically modifying his body so no one likes him. The main character confesses his love for the evo man and the evo man beats the shit out of him. This action gets him locked up and solves their space problem. He is then promoted to a secret agent, and eventually goes undercover as an evo man. He eventually becomes president for his "heroic" actions. At the end of the story, he is still prez, but aliens have shot a sun blowy uppy missile thing at our sun, and they find out only mins before it was going to collide. He makes an address to the populous telling them to be selfish survive and get revenge. TLDR: At the end of the story the sun is about to blow up the main character tells everyone to be selfish survive and get revenge on the aliens that did this.

I'm in an LDR for 8 months now with a great woman and she knows I have had issues with unfaithfulness in the past. I don't understand why she goes out of her way to tell me that guys hit on her, but when I get uncomfortable, it's almost as if she gets upset right back / not understanding. Don't get me wrong, I fully expect that as a girl she's going to get hit on. I know that. My issue is that in this case it's the same guy, but she doesn't say anything. Do anything. She just lets him keep hitting on her. I'm not her personal police, I don't want to randomly talk to this guy, but it's really just starting to frustrate me. I know I can't control her, but am I so wrong for being upset that this just keeps going on? **TL;DR** Girl keeps getting hit on by same guy, does nothing about it. I'm upset that he continues to do it and she lets it happen. I can't control her, but am I so wrong to feel uncomfortable?

I am not bothered whatsoever with being people flirty and playful at a party or some other big social event where everyone is scattered and having a good time. When it comes to walking on the street, I am also not bothered whatsoever seeing a couple holding hands. BUT, when it comes to casual hanging out with friends in a situation where generally everyone is doing something together at someone's place, almost any PDA will bother me. In an ideal world (for me), a couple would just act like two really good friends in this situation. I feel bad for letting it bother me, but it just does. If a couple wants to play around and be romantic with one another, why don't they just wait until later when they are alone? tl;dr: brief rant about PDAs presented as a question so as not to give people the impression it is just a rant

my guess is that everyone is buying bitcoin not as a currency, but as a precious commodity, like gold/silver. Combine this with the fact that the market is incredibly illiquid because of the limited number of bitcoin and bitcoin for sale, and you have the conditions for a run in price. Look at the tradedata for Mtgox. For every $1 increase ($17-$18) in the ask, there is only about 1000-2000 bitcoin or sale. If you do the math, that means you only need about $17000-$34000 cash to cause the price in Bitcoin to increase by $1. Sounds like a lot of money, but Wall Street traders and big investors wipe their ass with that kind of money. The article in Forbes probably sparked some interest in some traders who said: "what the hell, why not?" A minor investment in Bitcoin, say $10-20K, would cause a fairly large splash in this market. TL;DR - review supply/demand curve EDIT: also, regarding all the "bubble" talk - i dont think so. reason: a bubble will only pop when the buying support weakens after a run in price, usually due to a glut of supply. Everybody knows about the supply: 21million bitcoin. Nobody can come into the market without buying bitcoin first. In other words, noone can flood the market with bitcoin for sale unless they bought them first (no short sales). And noone can create "new" bitcoins outside of the existing (will exist) 21 million. Think back to the tech and real estate bubbles. What did they have in common? Potential for neverending supply. Any business could become a .com (pets.com, stamps.com), and developers could create a huge amount of property from previously undeveloped land.

Hi there, I'm a long-time fan of the Dean Markley Pro Mag Plus; also really enjoy their (his) acoustic strings. Have been able to replace my acoustic Markley pick-up within the last year at a local (Long and McQuade) shop in Canada; still very popular, should run around $75 and very natural sound with no damage to soundhole. Plus, it's wooden-finish so it looks somewhat sharp in the guitar! tl;dr: Dean Markley Pro Mag Plus FTW!

Due to my long disappearance and the not so thrilling last episode I'm continuing on with a second chapter and if time and sanity allow mayhaps a third. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Open scene: our reluctant heroine has thus far managed to keep the dragon at bay as it has been distracted by the birth of new hellspawn. Unfortunately, this is only a momentary respite. Following Y's recent doctors visit and receiving the results of the surgeons panel we decided to move up our wedding planning. Being as our last attempt at premarital counseling was an unmitigated disaster we approach Y's pastor in hopes of starting over. (In order to be married in the church premarital counseling is a prerequisite). We have chosen to marry in mid April because we both love spring and rain and really wanted to get married on a rainy day. Because my parents are by no means wealthy and Satan refuses to help because "It is the bride's responsibility to pay for the wedding". Y and I are paying for everything. We then have to move the wedding date because "since my brother is graduating and my family was already flying out for his graduation it is selfish of me to expect them to buy two plane tickets so close together". So being accommodating we moved the date to the week after his graduation. The pastor begins counseling with us only to inform us two months into a six month course that he is moving and we need to find someone else. At this point the invitations have been mailed and the reception hall booked as well as the vendors. So the pastor referred us to another pastor who informed us he required at least a year of counseling. That wasn't happening. Satan is overjoyed by this calling it a sign. In the end my father (who is a pastor) agreed to do it. He basically said he would do the ceremony and sign off on the counseling. Of course I did not want him doing the ceremony (he is the male version of Satan)but I was out of options at this point. Through all of this Satan refuses to help in any way and tries to discourage us every step of the way. She is furious that the invitation does not name her and her husband as putting on the wedding even though she refuses to help. She feels that it should have had them announcing our wedding. She hates my colors and everything I have picked out from the linens to the food. She demands that we not have either alcohol or dancing or they will not attend. Never mind that she is not contributing and Y and I are both working two jobs to pay for everything. Finally, we compromise and say that there will not be alcohol or dancing because both of our parents are against it. Stay tuned for the next segment Wedding planning and woes. TL;dr: Counseling is a no go and Satan has an opinion about everything but refuses to help

Of course I did not want him doing the ceremony (he is the male version of Satan)but I was out of options at this point. Through all of this Satan refuses to help in any way and tries to discourage us every step of the way. She is furious that the invitation does not name her and her husband as putting on the wedding even though she refuses to help. She feels that it should have had them announcing our wedding. She hates my colors and everything I have picked out from the linens to the food. She demands that we not have either alcohol or dancing or they will not attend. Never mind that she is not contributing and Y and I are both working two jobs to pay for everything. Finally, we compromise and say that there will not be alcohol or dancing because both of our parents are against it. Stay tuned for the next segment Wedding planning and woes.

Due to my long disappearance and the not so thrilling last episode I'm continuing on with a second chapter and if time and sanity allow mayhaps a third. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Open scene: our reluctant heroine has thus far managed to keep the dragon at bay as it has been distracted by the birth of new hellspawn. Unfortunately, this is only a momentary respite. Following Y's recent doctors visit and receiving the results of the surgeons panel we decided to move up our wedding planning. Being as our last attempt at premarital counseling was an unmitigated disaster we approach Y's pastor in hopes of starting over. (In order to be married in the church premarital counseling is a prerequisite). We have chosen to marry in mid April because we both love spring and rain and really wanted to get married on a rainy day. Because my parents are by no means wealthy and Satan refuses to help because "It is the bride's responsibility to pay for the wedding". Y and I are paying for everything. We then have to move the wedding date because "since my brother is graduating and my family was already flying out for his graduation it is selfish of me to expect them to buy two plane tickets so close together". So being accommodating we moved the date to the week after his graduation. The pastor begins counseling with us only to inform us two months into a six month course that he is moving and we need to find someone else. At this point the invitations have been mailed and the reception hall booked as well as the vendors. So the pastor referred us to another pastor who informed us he required at least a year of counseling. That wasn't happening. Satan is overjoyed by this calling it a sign. In the end my father (who is a pastor) agreed to do it. He basically said he would do the ceremony and sign off on the counseling.

I've known this guy for a long time, he used to be friends with my neighbor when we were young. We both live in the same city now and have recently stated to hang out which usually means drinks at a bar with other friends of either his or mine. We've never hung out alone but we text frequently and he has made some sexual comments to me. I've always brushed those comments off and never took them seriously. We are both single and openly tell each other about our sexual adventures. Last night, he met me at a bar with one of my friends. When he got there, I could tell he was already really drunk. He was being really funny and talkative and the three of us (me, my friend, and him) were all having a blast. About an hour and a half in to the night, after several shots and a drink or two, I could tell he was crashing. I think he had been drinking for several hours before meeting up with me and had hit his breaking point. He disappeared downstairs and after not returning for a while, I went to check on him. I'm a good friend by nature and have been a ridiculous drunk person so try to look out for my homies. He was ordering food at the bar and the bartender asked us to move to a table nearby so other people could get drinks. I shuffled him over to the table although he was reluctant. At this point he was stumbling and slurring and just had that dead inside look in this eyes of someone who is blacked out. The table was in the corner of the bar and wasn't paid much attention. He started to make some sexual comments to me but I kept trying to change the subject. He then shoved me against the wall and started kissing me. I was pretty buzzed and kissed him back for a second before pushing him away. I told him I didn't want to make out in the corner of a bar, especially while he was in that condition. Something else came up in conversation and I had him pretty well distracted while waiting for his food to come. He was hovering over me as drunk asses do and then out of nowhere grabbed me by the neck and shoved me against the wall, making me hit me head and forcefully kissing me. I pushed him away again and told him to stop. He came back and did it again but this time went for my neck and bit me! I pushed him back again and told him very seriously to stop. He started stumbling backwards, fell down and hit his head, making a small scene. I helped him get up along with another gentleman at the bar and at this time his food was coming. He ate one and I got him to sit down on a bar stool. He tried to choke me and kiss me again but I pushed him back down and told him he needed to go home. He started getting mad, he didn't want to leave. Eventually I got him to give me his phone so I could get him a Lyft. Requested a car and all the while had to stand with my legs between his while he was sitting on a stool leaned against the wall to keep him from falling over. When the car got there, it was quite a struggle to convince him to walk with me outside. I had to walk him out with my hand around his waist and arm around my shoulder. Got him in a car and on his way. I called him after about an hour to make sure he made it home safely and he didn't respond. He texted me this morning telling he must have lost his apartment keys and ended up sleeping in the hallway outside of his apartment. He didn't remember anything. He remembered being at the bar with me for about 30 minutes and nothing after. I gave him a brief run down but really didn't want to talk to him much more than that. He apologized but didn't seem very remorseful, at least through text. He also thanked me for taking care of him and making sure he got home safe. I thought this guy was going to be a good friend of mine and every time we've hung out before this has been really fun. We have great conversation and vibe really well but now I don't know what to think about him. Typing this out makes me feel a little ridiculous for even questioning what I should do but still, I'm confused. Should I never talk to this guy again or should I just avoid drunken situations with him again? I know he was just really wasted but it still scares me that he even allowed himself to get to that point and then acted that way towards me. Reddit, what do you think? TL;DR - A guy I've been friends with for years acted very aggressive towards me while being a drunken mess and it made me feel disrespected.

I would honestly hate if Luffy end up pulling a Roger. Just because he parallels Roger here and there, doesn't mean he's going to end up giving himself up to the Marines. Sure he might end up with the same "incurable" disease, but that's where Chopper comes in. (Since his dream is to become the greatest Doctor - thus being able to cure this disease) As for Luffys life span being drained. So far the oldest character in One Piece is, Dr. Kureha. She's 141 years old. (so we'll use this age as the oldest person giving average One Piece characters 100 years) _ **Luffy's only used Ivankovs special hormones that "drain lifespan" once**. - The first time was the **"Emporio Healing Hormone"** when Luffy was poisoned **(-10 years)** The **"Emporio Tension Hormone" wasn't said anywhere that it would take years off Luffy's lifespan.** _ So Let's say Luffy's lifespan before the hormone was **~100 years, take 10 years** away from that. Then it's **~90 years.** Now supposedly Gear Second ate away at Luffy's lifespan **before time-skip** because his body wasn't used to the sudden power up. Let's say this takes off another **10 years**. **Now Luffy's got a average age of ~80 years left to live.** We have no information proving that Gear Second is still eating away at Luffy's lifespan since time-skip, but I assume he's mastered it to the point that it no longer drains his lifespan. **TL;DR:** &gt;**I think Luffy will live until age ~80, unless of course something happens (like dying, etc).**

You'll get over it. I did six months in NW Africa a few years back (Togo, Niger, CAR, Benin, Ivory Coast and Congo B). I also did a month in Nairobi overlooking a game park. When I got back I was a real sanctimonious shit for a while until I adjusted back to my life. You'll probably go through a horrible culture crash in about 6 months when you start to hear from other people working in the same areas on the same projects and realise that all you did doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things and that you haven't made any lasting difference to the world. If you have real friends, they'll help you through this. With some luck, you'll eventually become comfortable with the fact that you at least tried to make a difference and you got to see things and go somewhere that most of the world never will. tl;dr This too shall pass

Sorry if this turns out to be a wall of text, but here goes; I'm 39 years old (nearly 40) and for the last 7-8 years I've worked in the IT industry in varying aspects of support. Prior to that, I served in the military where I worked medical for 5 years (stayed working medical for another 2 after I got out). I never got a nursing degree while I was in, and at most was only National Registry EMT Certified (which expired about a decade ago). I switched to IT because I really wanted to work with computers. I never hated working in a hospital/clinic, I just thought I'd be a lot happier working with computers. Over the last year, I've become progressively more and more annoyed and unhappy doing what I do. My productivity is down and I find myself completely unmotivated to do anything but plug into video games when I get home. I've searched for other jobs within the field however, as we all know, the job market sucks. Also, I realize as I look at these other positions that I doubt I will be any happier anywhere else because I'd be doing what I am now. During my job searching, I realize that I was never this miserable when I worked in the medical field. In addition, the intrinsic reward for working medical was much greater than what I do now, where I feel like I bust my ass to help people and get shit in return from mostly ungrateful clients. I've been thinking of enrolling into a local L.P.N. program, which is a year long. Once I get my L.P.N. I should be able to get a job and while I work I can hopefully complete my R.N. degree. My question is this, AskReddit, do you think this is wise given the current job market and the fact that I'm nearly 40 and thinking of changing my career BACK to what I did before. I would especially love to hear some feedback from people who currently work in Healthcare/Nursing. **TL;DR - I used to work as a medic, now I'm an IT dude. This sucks, how viable is it to return to medical?**

Now, firstly, I'd say I'm pretty experienced with women. I'd consider myself shy, yes, but I've have numerous gfs, and once I get past the first stage of meeting someone, I'm pretty talkative and natural. I also perform as musician so I've learned pretty effectively how to fake confidence in nerve-racking situation. But this girl makes me ridiculously nervous. I feel like I'm 14 again. I don't think I've ever liked a girl this much. She's giving me quite a few reasons to think she's interested (and maybe a couple to think she's not to be fair) but I think my nervousness is ruining things. I can't really prolong conversations (she asks me questions about my life/background and all I can say is "yeah" and nod my head or give the most basic answer), I don't really know where to put my hands (we're pretty touchy feely with each other, but I overthink it constantly), I get so nervous it takes me hours to build the courage to text her for fear of rejection or saying the wrong thing, whenever she teases me to be flirty I ruin it by taking it seriously (not in an offended way, just in a, "is that what you think of me" way which shows I don't get the joke) making a move to kiss her absolutely scares the shit out of me, I'm just a bloody wreck around her. She seems pretty nervous too, but not nearly as bad, it just makes me like her more (little things like when she blushes or where we just hold eye contact with nothing to say, or when she just stands there not wanting to leave when it's time to go home), but I'm pretty sure I going to fuck this up. We had one super long convo when we first met (basically hung out all night) but liquid courage definitely helped that night, and I can't just be buzzed all the time with her. Any advice? Any one ever been through something like this before? How can I be less of a bumbing idiot around this girl? I know I should just not be nervous and convince myself "hey, she's just another human being" but my body won't comply. **tl;dr**: New girl I really like, get super nervous around and basically have zero game as result.

Now, firstly, I'd say I'm pretty experienced with women. I'd consider myself shy, yes, but I've have numerous gfs, and once I get past the first stage of meeting someone, I'm pretty talkative and natural. I also perform as musician so I've learned pretty effectively how to fake confidence in nerve-racking situation. But this girl makes me ridiculously nervous. I feel like I'm 14 again. I don't think I've ever liked a girl this much. She's giving me quite a few reasons to think she's interested (and maybe a couple to think she's not to be fair) but I think my nervousness is ruining things.

After planetside and the fact this game is a blatant rip off to cash in on the survival gimmick, how have people not realized how bullshit SOE is? I mean seriously? They called it a f2p yet people actually spent 20 bucks on it. What? Lets not forget about the other bandwagoners such as infestation survivor stories, and nether. Seriously. This game was no different it just took longer to come out. You people should know by now, you don't get refunds, and if you do its a pain in the ass journey so why? After playing PS2 (my first legit multiplayer PC game mind you siince vannilla WoW) I had already learned my lesson with SOE, they have shitty as hell launches that are banking on micro transactions and grind rather than fair and immersive gameplay. **TLDR** I feel no pity for all the people who actually bought this, unless this was the first time they heard of SOE and zombie games. Let the downvote commence, we know who truly lost here.

little background so im going to stay at a girls summer house in another country in 2 days and yeah you know whats gonna go down! first of this type of shit always happens to me, so ive been living on edge anticipating something bad to happen before I go away and YUP here it is... So im here home alone chilling, just made lasagne and watching game of thrones... (side note about 6 months ago my ovens fan broke and my mums yet to get it fixed so that means the outside of the oven burns real hot when its used and cools down naturally)... so heres 19 year bachelor me walking around in an untied dressing gown and nothing else under, letting schlong dickington have a breather ... so im cleaning up the kitchen and am wiping the cooker/stove when i lean in to get the back of the cooker and mr schlong dickington touches the burning hot outside of the oven below... cue crying, and creaming of my burned phallus... and to make matters worse it was the head where its most sensitive :( TL;DR: **Burned my schlong on a burning hot oven**

Oh reddit, I need some help. I'm 23/f, he's 22/m. We met and just got along really well, there was noticeable chemistry in how we talked and interacted, others commented all the time. After a few months of flirting, we've been officially dating for a little over a month. In the beginning of the relationship, he made it very clear that he wanted to take it slow, "We'll see where it goes" was the mantra right from the start. Tonight I got a text, the dreaded words, "We need to talk" Uh oh. "But I'll save it for tomorrow. I'm drunk, I want to give you the dignity of hearing it when I'm not an idiot" Well shit. This must be it, I thought, the end of this short fling. I felt like a prisoner on death row, just waiting for the final buzz from the electric chair. Luckily, his drunk self couldn't wait (as drunk selves are wont to do), and I got a followup text roughly 13 minutes later. "Look, my ex I really liked her a lot. I loved her. Probably why I'm taking it really slow right now. I dont know, probably because of old feelings and stuff. You aren't a rebound, I get along with you, we have a lot in common. I was hesitant to start the relationship, but I like that we don't have drama and are honest with each other. I like that you don't get mad easily, and that you have goals in life. I respect that." I know he dated this girl for about two years, and that they're still in contact, but I don't know how long ago the relationship ended or who broke it off or any details. I feel like hearing that should have hurt more than it did, I feel totally willing to take it as slow as he needs. Despite his assurance that I'm not just filling a gap, I'm afraid of that. I'm afraid he'll never get over her enough to love me, in the long run. He asked, when I gave a response indicating that I was thankful for him being honest with me and that we can take it as slow as it needs to go, "Aren't you afraid of wasting time?" He refused to elaborate further, but I knew what he meant. Was I afraid of sitting in this relationship that he sees staying idle for a while because of his inability to fully let her go for now. Beyond that, something that bothered me is how he listed out all these objective things, it reads more like a used car checklist than a poem, and that makes me feel like he likes how laissez faire I've been with the relationship so far (which I've tried to do in order to respect his wish to take it slow) more than he likes me as a person. Maybe I'm reading too far into that, maybe I'm expecting too much from a drunken 3am text message. But that almost got to me more than the intended message. It felt good to write that all out. I care about him a lot and have a lot of fun with him, and I don't know how to feel about all of this. Any opinions, reddit? Do you think he'll ever let her go? Am I just a square peg he's trying to fit in the void she left? TL;DR : My boyfriend of a month confessed he is having trouble moving further in our relationship because of old feelings, asked that we take it slow. Do I give up now, or is there hope yet?

Where could I begin to look for desktop PCs if my budget is around ~$300-$500 dollars? My laptop used to be fast, but now it will freeze if I try to use too many applications at once. Google Chrome and iTunes can work well together, but if I try watching a high quality youtube video, or try watching a 1080p video on VLC Media Player, my computer will crash immediately. The only things I really need to be able to do is use microsoft office, use a web browser, watch movies, and use skype. My friends also are getting me jealous of playing League of Legends so maybe a computer that could handle that. tl;dr my budget is $300-$500 dollars, where can I find a tower PC?

I was outside walking tonight, and I was looking around. Streets were empty. Not a single soul. My mind drifted to thoughts of human existence, purpose, life, etc. I am an atheist, btw. I started thinking how pointless everything really is. What is to stop me from doing anything I choose? I find this breaks down most barriers quickly. If you could rob a bank and knew you'd get away with it, would you do it? What's stopping you? Moral? So assuming we all have moral, my next question would have to be. What is the purpose of moral? Being kind to your fellow man. What does that mean? It's hard to imagine considering we live in a world that is constantly destroying itself for no other purpose than to watch itself burn. So, I'm sure we've all heard the term, "We're born to procreate, eat, shit, and die." ( this sounds funny, but you know what I mean.) However, I push this further in my mind that even these things don't matter. Maybe in the scheme of things. Is it because we're top of the food chain? Surviving used to be about surviving the weather, finding food to live, or worrying about be attacked by animals. Now we worry about where we live, what car we drive, what phone we have. I guess I just long for a simpler life. So I beg you for a moment, to go outside and look up at the stars. You might as I do feel like life is pointless. That's why I smoke herb, because you never know when you're going to die. C'est la vie? So tired of the same old routine, I just want to LIVE. Even if life to me may seem pointless at the moment, I don't want to deny myself the small pleasure in life. Even if I have to sneak outside to toke up. I don't know if this post even has a point now that I think about it. I guess I'm just trying to say, we're all in this shit together. It sucks, but it is what it is. If you've got my back, I've got yours. Stop the hate, and violence. Perhaps I should look at it from a different perspective. I truly believe government has caused this kind of perception, I feel like I would be much more fulfilled as a caveman, or a Neanderthal, hunting prey and picking berries and shit. Without material things, we don't place SO MUCH importance on social hierarchy. I might sound "communist" by talking about utopian society. As a human race we're not ready for that kind of society. We're simply not mature enough to accept the responsibility of a non-governed world. We're everyone treats each other with respect. I hope that one day, the human race can coexist without murder, or hate. You're all my brothers and sisters, and if life cannot find a purpose for me, than you are my purpose. World peace and all of that. Thanks if you read this ramble. [0] **TL;DR : Life sucks then you die** Now I'm going to go smoke.

Better than what happened to me about 2 years ago. I woke up one morning with a pain in my stomach. I thought it was just constipation, so I basically ignored it. By about 7pm, it was still just getting worse, so I went to the hospital. Within 12 hours, I was in surgery having my appendix taken out. Apparently, if it had been left another 2-3 hours, it would have ruptured, probably killing me. TL;DR: Phantom shit = exploding organs.

Better than what happened to me about 2 years ago. I woke up one morning with a pain in my stomach. I thought it was just constipation, so I basically ignored it. By about 7pm, it was still just getting worse, so I went to the hospital. Within 12 hours, I was in surgery having my appendix taken out. Apparently, if it had been left another 2-3 hours, it would have ruptured, probably killing me.

Phantom shit = exploding organs.

LOL. OK. Notice how the SECOND that I ask for any kind of third party proof that isn't you spouting out BS, you start back peddling? Trial doesn't mean only military court, civilian court or ICC. It includes things like military tribunals which is what we have at Gitmo. &gt; But once again, there is absolutely nothing in the Geneva convention which says anyone captured must have a trial. You're the one that keeps bringing up Geneva. I'm talking about the US Constitution. Habeas doesn't apply only to US citizens you know? The rights of detainees doesn't end at Geneva rights. They have US Constitutional rights as well, regardless of citizenship. TL;DR: Detainees have a right to due process, regardless of whether they are a "war criminal" or how they were detained and under what conditions. If they are being held by the US, then have certain due process rights. It's not the same rights as a US citizen, but they have rights, including the right to be free from indefinite detention.

It's unlikely her phone was dead, she charges her phone every night and the device typically lasts a good day with normal use. She was out with friends and perhaps spontaneous, but the question I struggle with, is this ok? If you say you are coming home at a certain time, and you don't, and find no means of letting me know (which is pretty amazing) is that ok? I am bothered by it, but do not want to strain our relationship with my insecurities by grilling her about it. tl/dr Is not communicating unexpected change of plans on a Saturday night acceptable in a normal healthy relationship, or should I just deal with it?

First, i'll give some back story to our relationship to help bring everyone up to speed. My girlfriend and I have known each other for 8+ years and have been best friends ever since we met in high school. We have always had feelings for each other but the timing was never right for us. We've dated different people but we both came to the realization about how strong our feelings really were for each other down the road. So, I made the decision that I didn't want to be with anyone else and waited 2 years for the time to be right, and now we're dating! I'm truly lucky to be in love with my best friend. I'm a recent college graduate and began putting my new degree to work at a start up business. This job is everything I've ever wanted in a job. I get to unleash my entrepreneurial side and since i'm young, have a lot less to lose if this business fails. I see a lot of potential with this business to be a multi-million dollar a year company and getting in at the beginning is huge, but it's not about the money for me. It's about developing myself in my job field. Even if this business fails, i'll have learned and developed a long list of skills that can launch me into jobs that I never thought were possible for me. My boss is easy to work with and I see him more of a mentor now, not just a boss. He's helping me along the way with exposing me to as much of the business world as he can. We work well together and bounce ideas off each other, we are great at what we do and I trust he isn't playing me for a fool by trying to launch his business only to reward me very little. Since it's a startup business cash flow is tight, which leaves me with very little pay. I was aware of this from the beginning and I will be rewarded for my efforts if the business succeeds or fails. As the title states, my girlfriend and I have been together for a little over a year now and we are approaching the point in our relationship where we decide how to take the next step in our relationship. We both see a future with one another and at this point we are looking to get a little more serious about our relationship but have hit a wall trying to figure out how to do that. When my girlfriend and I first started dating I was very upfront about my goals for my future. I'm a very hard worker and I planned to pay off my student loans as fast as I can while living at home with my parents before I even considered moving out on my own. Essentially, I want to pay off my student loans in full in two years, this timeline is very feasible I must add. Personally, I think it's the smartest thing to do so that I'm not paying off interest for 10+ years and carrying that debt with me while i'm trying to settle down with her and start a family. Recently, she's run into some financial troubles and has had to move back in with her parents (who live 1.5 hours away) to find a new job and save money to afford a place of her own again. She's struggling to find a steady job but she has set a goal to afford to move out by mid-2015. She also wants me to move out with her. It's hard to develop our relationship further while we are both living with our parents and she's the one that drives up to see me, she was very clear that she does not want me to visit her because of a rough situation she has with her family (who i've met before and can see why she was clear on this). Since we have both spoken about a future together she's suggesting we start our future sooner rather than later. I'm at a point now where in order to afford to move out, which i'm still not 100% comfortable with because I haven't even started paying off my student loans, then i'll need to find a new job with a steady paycheck. Me not choosing right away to move into a place together has scared her and now she's afraid that i'm wanting to put more focus on my job rather than our relationship. But leaving this job and giving it all up doesn't sound appealing to me, though on the other hand she's the one I want to be with and I don't want to lose her over a job. So now I feel stuck, should I choose to stay with this job and develop myself and my skills in the job field that I love? In the mean time try to work things out with her and show her that i'm still focused on the relationship. Or do I give it up to move in with her so we can start getting more serious about our relationship? --- **tl;dr**: Girlfriend and I are looking to take the next step in our relationship but my job is affecting my decision.

Happy to help! It's safe to assume that almost every class now-adays has a self heal. You definitely won't be able to keep yourself up in the way a Blood DK does, but that's not to say what you do have in your arsenal isn't sufficient to take on one or maybe two [Alliance] at a time. Running around and causing havock in a BG can be especially fun if you have a dedicated healer. You'll find that there are quite a few healers who don't mind focusing you, so long as you deliver and keep them alive while dishing out the damage. Bear in mind that Warrior is a class that is *supremely* gear dependent at level cap, regardless of spec. That being said, after 90 levels and another few weeks of dedicated honor griding, you may find that you've got the skill to match the gear when the time comes to put it all together. In regards to "vs priests lock and dks?" I can only say that your experience vs any other class will differ from mine. The Warrior class has the kit to put down any solo challenger. My advice is to read up on popular specs and watch some videos to develop a better feel for it all. TL;DR Play a Warrior.

Crit runes are pretty worthless real talk. You can put one crit rune in for 1% crit, it's pseudo RNG so that 1% crit has a high value of being useful for just one rune slot. Basically the crit chance goes up every time it doesn't crit, making that simple one rune give you RNG crits It's far better to have normal damage/aspd/armor/mr runes, in lane if you try to trade hits and have no armor that 20% chance to crit is completely negated by the fact the enemy just hit you for about 10% extra damage. Your 20% chance to crit would have to be much higher than 20% to actually come out ahead in any trade. They'll hit you for 10% increased damage, you'll also be hitting for about 8% less than they do and 15% slower than they do.. (Comparing ad/atkspeed/armor/mr runes to full crit runes..) Not to mention they will be hitting you with pokes from the enemy support and/or carry.. There's no way having full crit runes will ever be value, ever. Ah I explained this all wrong but whatever, basically if you look at your stats compared to theirs you'll be far weaker. Enemey will be hitting 10% stronger (less armor.) 15% faster (no attack speed runes) 8% stronger (attack damage quints) In laning is the only time runes are really valuable, you can buy items for everything else. tl;dr being a glass cannon with less damage isn't worth it when you can just spend gold in mid game to buy crit chance anyway.

Last October (2012) I broke up with my girlfriend of just over a year. I don’t know if it is just because it is the holidays and I’m seeing my cousins and their SO together, or that my friends have been getting engage, or because the girl I planned on talking to and trying to and maybe start something with at a wedding this past weekend has no interest in me or if it’s just because I’m lonely but I've thinking about her more and more lately. We broke up because we fought occasionally like all couples do over small stupid stuff but mainly because my friends said I wasn't my normal self when she was around and they hated it. I thought there has to be a better person for me out there that has everything I want and I shouldn't have to settle for what I'm looking for in a wife. I’m basically just wondering what Reddit thinks. Should I just be patient and keep trying to date other people and see how it works out or talk to her and try to get back together with her and see if there is anything there? Sorry for the run-ons and other horrible grammar/spelling **tl;dr**:Broke up with gf over a year ago. Can't stop think about her lately. Looking for advice on what to do

One time I got up for a nice midnight snack and rummaged around through the cabinets; like any sane person of course. I find a 6 (maybe 9, I really don't know) pack of Hershey milk chocolate bars and decide that'll be my snack of choice. But of course it's the middle of the night and wrestling with the plastic is very noisy, so I politely start to look for scissors, but no luck. I do, however, find one of our fantastic, new, very sharp, steady knives! Perfect! So I proceed to take the plastic between two fingers, one above the other on either side of the package, the I place the knife point between my two fingers and press it into the plastic. From there, the knife stutters then slides right through the plastic into my finger where I hold it for a moment and let my brain buffer. Remember though, it's still the middle of the knight and I have to keep quiet. So I carefully pull the knife from my finger and stick it in my mouth to keep from making a mess. I head to the bathroom, making sure to flip off the lights as I go as quietly as I can. Later I'll realize I was doing this all with the wrong hand and leaving marks of trauma all through the house. Once in the bathroom, I clean the wound and give it a proper inspection. "Oh, well that's not so bad. Didn't even hit bone!" I said to myself. The only issue I was having was that I couldn't find a bandage. So I kept wrapping it in toilet paper, searching around, then replacing my toilet paper bandage with a fresh one. Once I realize we don't have any, panic starts to set in and I walk into the hallway. Now, either from nervousness, fear, or simply loss of blood I nearly pass out, stumble against the wall and slump to the floor. Finally, I decide to get some help. So I shout out for my mom, have her come up and run me the riot act, but at this point I'm too far from consciousness to care; except I tell her firmly that we don't need to get stitches! So after a bit, she finds an emergency med-kit and I get patched up. Able to stand I triumphantly return to my chocolate and enjoy my midnight snack. Now, to this day I still have a nice longitudinal scar running up the side of my left ring finger. I've grown quite proud of it, and this story if you can't tell. **TL;DR** Chocolate, knife, lots of blood. Also, for anyone interested. Yes we forgot to clean up the blood splatters (they weren't that noticeable at night) but my dad found them getting up to work the next morning. He figured, reasonably enough, that if it was really bad he would have been woken up before this point. So he left them for me to clean later on that day when he got home and got the full story.

One time I got up for a nice midnight snack and rummaged around through the cabinets; like any sane person of course. I find a 6 (maybe 9, I really don't know) pack of Hershey milk chocolate bars and decide that'll be my snack of choice. But of course it's the middle of the night and wrestling with the plastic is very noisy, so I politely start to look for scissors, but no luck. I do, however, find one of our fantastic, new, very sharp, steady knives! Perfect! So I proceed to take the plastic between two fingers, one above the other on either side of the package, the I place the knife point between my two fingers and press it into the plastic. From there, the knife stutters then slides right through the plastic into my finger where I hold it for a moment and let my brain buffer. Remember though, it's still the middle of the knight and I have to keep quiet. So I carefully pull the knife from my finger and stick it in my mouth to keep from making a mess. I head to the bathroom, making sure to flip off the lights as I go as quietly as I can. Later I'll realize I was doing this all with the wrong hand and leaving marks of trauma all through the house. Once in the bathroom, I clean the wound and give it a proper inspection. "Oh, well that's not so bad. Didn't even hit bone!" I said to myself. The only issue I was having was that I couldn't find a bandage. So I kept wrapping it in toilet paper, searching around, then replacing my toilet paper bandage with a fresh one. Once I realize we don't have any, panic starts to set in and I walk into the hallway. Now, either from nervousness, fear, or simply loss of blood I nearly pass out, stumble against the wall and slump to the floor. Finally, I decide to get some help. So I shout out for my mom, have her come up and run me the riot act, but at this point I'm too far from consciousness to care; except I tell her firmly that we don't need to get stitches! So after a bit, she finds an emergency med-kit and I get patched up. Able to stand I triumphantly return to my chocolate and enjoy my midnight snack. Now, to this day I still have a nice longitudinal scar running up the side of my left ring finger. I've grown quite proud of it, and this story if you can't tell. TL;DR Chocolate, knife, lots of blood. Also, for anyone interested.

I have a theory that I would like to share. My mind has been stuck on this tangent ever since I've come across this thought that everything works in a ray(line with a starting point, which isn't a factor in this situation, that goes on forever). The actual thought goes like this, many people who can notice social "habits" may have some input on this, we know there are people that can analyze social situations, and some may know that there are people that can analyze people that can analyze social tendencies(sorry for any confusion), and so on and so forth, is there ever a true end to this, because once you know where to stop isn't there a point that you realize that you've realized how to stop this ray. TL;DR: No one has discovered the answer to life because ultimately there is no answer to discover, we're all just trying to find it out. Please don't downvote if you don't understand I'm truly interested in getting intelligent individuals' input on this. Please comment if you have any questions or opinions.

During elementary school, we went ice skating. I hated ice skating, my feet would hurt, and I could barely stand up, so I just sat on the bench the whole time. A few weeks later, we had another activity, this time sledding. My mom had taken the time to drive me and a few friends to school that morning (we usually walked) with our sleds and all the extra stuff needed for the activities that day. Get to school, and just as we are about to leave, teacher comes up to me, brings me to the office and says I am to stay there because I was being "disruptive" a few weeks back when we went skating. No one told me/parents anything in advance, came out of no where. I did not go to that activity. tl;dr: Not allowed to go sledding because a few weeks earlier sat on bench during ice skating because I didn't know how to skate. Edit: Another time I got punished because I bit someone who, with the help of others, was crushing me against school wall and that was the only way I was able to escape. Yes, the other kids got away with it.

I apologize if you feel that I my reply was condescending. I felt an honest question deserved an honest answer. Whether you consider my view simple or not I do in fact equate a belief in god with a belief in an imaginary friend. There is even a specific type of imaginary friend that's presence can only be intangibly felt or experienced instead of seen or heard. And by no means do I think that a belief in god is equated with some kind weakness, mental or otherwise. I strongly believed in god for a large portion of my life before I was no longer able and I look fondly on the experience. My experience with a belief in god stemmed from an emotional need that I had. Intellectually I was always able to maintain a duality of belief in both science and religion and I had always felt that god was a good vehicle and source for science in his own hidden way, his hand slowly guiding us towards enlightenment. However as my emotional composition changed, dare I say matured, over time I found that I tried to maintain my grip on belief without the emotional foundation upon which it was built. This shift in emotional bearing eventually lead to my current atheistic stance as I realized that upon careful and painful examination my true core beliefs had nothing in common with a theist stance. TL;DR God was the best imaginary friend I've ever had. Fair point on the unicorn though.

After seeing Whiterose's clock room, I believe these to be trophies of moments in time from different time frames / eras that Whiterose has visited. Plain and simple, Whiterose is a time traveler from the future that "hacks" time. He changes the past and alters the future fit to his liking. When he successfully hacks time, he collects a clock from that period or moment in time. The reference to the clock from Dom's past perhaps is because it is her clock. He possibly could have visited her place in the past because he knows that she plays a huge part in his time "hack" that is currently in motion. The "multiple universes" speech is because Whiterose knows that multiple universes exist and he has seen them, including the one where the 9/5 hack never occurred. I don't believe the show will go full sci-fi because that would be corny, but it will be revealed in a very subtle way that Whiterose is a time traveler that alters time and changes reality. What is Whiterose's goal? To become immortal. TL:DR- Whiterose is from the future and is altering events in order to change the future and become immortal.

I am 19F and he is 19M, together for a year and some change. Okay Reddit, here's my problem. Sometimes, when my boyfriend and I are talking about a problem, he will be completely nonconstructive and offensive, drenching every reply in sarcasm. This is what happened today to inspire this post. Usually, we will text each other throughout the day, not non stop but a few messages here and there. We are looking at apartments and plan on moving in once we have everything sorted out. I was out doing errands and sent him a few pictures of cheap furniture we could use. I got short replies back and asked if it was a bad time, he said no. Later, he found out he was offered a great job and I was very excited to hear the news from him. His joblessness has been stressing him out **a lot** for the past few months and I guess I was a giddy chatterbox because he gave me very short replies. I took the hint and stopped talking to him. A few hours later, I had something separate to ask him. I got the same short replies. Maybe it's selfish, but it put a damper on my mood and I said something a bit passive-aggressive to him. I hadn't planned on mentioning why I was in a bad mood but he asked, and I told him. I said what was on my mind, and I specifically told him that I was just a little miffed, not upset or angry. He says something like "Here I was thinking an answer was good enough for you, how petty of *me*". I say "Stop being sarcastic, it's unwarranted. I don't like trying to be serious and I get these remarks" and try telling him what's wrong again. He says something about what he says not meeting my criteria, and "I do it your way or I'm in the doghouse, right?" At this point, my face is red and I feel like I'm not even talking to my boyfriend. I tell him to try and say something constructive and to stop putting words in my mouth. He says "I'll finish this later". That's where we are now. He is so sweet otherwise and this is so out of character. It makes me feel small or like a joke. It's his tone and how degrading it is, I usually end up in tears. It's embarrassing. **TL;DR: Boyfriend uses sarcasm as a weapon when we have civil discussions about our issues, turns them into arguments**

I'll preface this by saying I'm not angry about this, but I would like to better understand the situation and hopefully I can get some insight here. My boyfriend and I dated long-distance last year from September 2012-February 2013. I lived in his home state and he was away for military training but would visit home whenever he could. I met his entire family and saw them whenever he was home. During that time, his mother became very sick. He introduced me to her after about four months and told me he was glad she got to meet me. She ended up dying about a month later. My boyfriend never shows emotion, and this time was no different. The night she died, he held a "party" at his house to celebrate her. His whole family was there, along with all of our mutual friends and all of his friends. I was not invited, and the next time I saw everybody they thought I just didn't show up. A few weeks after that, my boyfriend seemed to fall into a depression. He started drinking heavily and broke up with me because he couldn't focus on a relationship, the military and everything that was going on. He said he wanted to stay friends, but started treating me disrespectfully and as a result, I didn't speak to him for a while. Five months later, he asked if I would give him another chance. I agreed, he moved home and we've now been dating for almost a year (started back up in August of 2013). He settled down a lot, but I could tell he was still upset by his mother. Whenever he received sympathy cards he would immediately throw them in the garbage. On her birthday, he sat by himself at the bar all night and told everybody to leave. Because his family is scattered all over the States, they held off on the funeral until everybody could get together. The funeral will be this month on June 20th, in the city where his mother was born (about five hours from here, the rest of the family now lives there too). My boyfriend hasn't asked me to go, but is bringing a mutual friend. I offered to go for support and he didn't respond. If I'm unhappy or having trouble with something, he's my go-to. I always feel better when he's around. I haven't experienced the loss of a parent, but my grandmother died last month and I couldn't imagine cutting him out during that time (though we didn't attend the funeral because it was in France). Could somebody help me understand? Could it be that he doesn't see me as supportive? Is this just his way of grieving? Why would he be okay with a friend attending but not me? **tl;dr** I am not invited to my boyfriends mothers funeral, and I don't quite know why he is cutting me out.

The funeral will be this month on June 20th, in the city where his mother was born (about five hours from here, the rest of the family now lives there too). My boyfriend hasn't asked me to go, but is bringing a mutual friend. I offered to go for support and he didn't respond. If I'm unhappy or having trouble with something, he's my go-to. I always feel better when he's around. I haven't experienced the loss of a parent, but my grandmother died last month and I couldn't imagine cutting him out during that time (though we didn't attend the funeral because it was in France). Could somebody help me understand? Could it be that he doesn't see me as supportive? Is this just his way of grieving? Why would he be okay with a friend attending but not me?

I am not invited to my boyfriends mothers funeral, and I don't quite know why he is cutting me out.

UPDATE: After reading all the comments and taking the night and morning to think about it I have decided I'm going to sit down with him and tell him the truth. It was arrogant and wrong of me to assume what I did and it was naive of me to act the way I did on it instead of just having a talk with him about it. I'm going to ask him if he would like to be tested and offer to go with him so we can both know. I didn't mean to be deceiving or to seem like I was gambling with something so serious but this is why I love reddit, it puts things into prospective for me and I now see, no matter how high the percentage of infertility is in men with this condition, that it was just wrong and stupid to trust that instead of talking to him about it. So thank you reddit :) As a side note, since some people were wondering: We both do want kids in the upcoming future. :) For the sake of the rules: Me (21F) my SO (20ishM). My SO has a condition which makes him sterile. I don't have a problem with this but the awkward thing is.. I don't think he knows this. I wanted to learn more about his condition so naturally I googled it and read up on what I could and it just so happened to tell me that a vast majority of the people who have it are sterile. A couple weeks ago he asked me if I was taking birth control and was honestly worried because he said he never seen me take anything and we don't use condoms. I haven't been on birth control this entire relationship and I -know- there isn't a chance of pregnancy but I'm afraid he doesn't.. I really don't know what to say to him. Do I lie and tell him that I'm on birth control? Do I sit down with him and talk this out? Or should I just avoid it entirely. Sooner or later it is going to come up again though.. I barely dodged the question the last time he asked. TL;DR: Avoiding telling my SO that I'm not on birth control because he is sterile and there is no chance of pregnancy. How the hell do I bring this up?

I did my undergrad in SB and I'm doing Grad school at Davis (also, grew up in Davis). Here's an edited copy paste of an old response I gave in /r/UCSB to the same question a year ago: Here's how I would compare them: The two schools have different appeals, and it really depends on what you're looking for in your college education. Party scene is where SB is going to shine. UCSB is kind of the perfect storm for big ass MTV style parties (as anyone unfortunate enough to be facebook friends with Chris Parr can attest). You have IV which is one square mile of almost exclusively 18-22 year olds, you have the beach, you have the weather, and you have the fact that there is a city college right near by which basically provides young brain-dead sluts and the broiest of bros. It's loud, it's drunk, and I really did enjoy my first 2-3 years of it. A common story you will hear though is that by senior year you are very much over it. [and if you're already 21 it may seem like you're surrounded by kidletts] UCD party scene is a whole lot quieter. I have a fair number of friends going there who joined the greek system, and report that it is a good way of socializing, this is not necessary in SB where the greek system acts more like a filter to catch the dregs of UCSB society and sequester them in their own social sphere. Outdoor Rec: This is where Davis is going to shine. I've noticed other comments mentioning the 'mountains' around SB. These are pissant foothills compared to the Sierra Nevada's which Davis abuts. Skiing, Snowboarding, Rafting, Kayaking are all 1-2 hours drive away. UCD also boasts one of the best collegiate outdoor programs in the country (OA UCD). UCSB's Campus Rec doesn't even come close; though they sport an impressive catalogue it's more of a fantasy committed to paper. They probably only run a quarter of their advertised trips. Weather: UCSB will take the weather category. That's not even, like, debatable. Though the cold winters in Davis are kind of the price you pay for access to good winter sports. Student Life: Is a broad ass category, and in both schools going to be what you make it and nothing else. Campus: Both are very bike heavy campuses, owning a car is not a necessity but a luxury. Davis is a bit more practical to only own a bike though, as in UCSB you have to drive into Santa Barbara proper (despite the name you live in Goleta when you're in IV) in order to get groceries/basic shopping. TL;DR: I've lived in both places, they both have their benefits. SB has the wild night (and afternoon) life, Davis has some of the best outdoor rec on the West Coast. Don't sweat the academic differences, for all intents and purposes it won't matter much in the long run. PM me if you actually want more of a comparison.

My boss told a coworker that he'd discuss a raise with him when he got his driver's license back. (He'd lost it due to a DUI/DWI.) My coworker comes in the day he gets his license back and confronts our boss in the middle of the office, unprofessionally, and essentially demands the raise. My boss wasn't very happy about his attitude or approach. Come to find out even though he'd gotten his license, our insurance company wouldn't cover him in the commercial vehicles due to his DUI/DWI. So, even though he had his license, it didn't do the company any good. TL;DR be professional and don't assume you'll get a raise without prior qualifications.

As a sophomore in college in 2006, I was living abroad in Germany. Twice during the year our whole program (50 students and 5 faculty) took a trip somewhere in Europe for an "Educational Field Trip". Which is basically a week long mini vacation where our travel, food, hotel, and all museums/sight-seeing trips were paid for by our school. On our flight home during our first trip (flying Vienna to Frankfurt) our plane turned around mid-flight - think Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. After our plane had turned, we all started trying to figure out what was happening, and our pilot came on announcing "Ladies and Gentlemen due to technical difficulties we will be returning to Vienna." Not too scary at the time, but once we landed back in Vienna, our plane continued to taxi, not towards the airport, but we taxied for a few miles out to where we could barely see the lights of any building. Once the plane stopped, that's when the emergency vehicles started coming. There was an upside of 25 emergency vehicles, police, ambulances, fire trucks, and bomb teams. As we all sat on the plane, watching these cars surround the plane, we started to panic. About 10 minutes after the plane was surrounded the stewardess' told us that we would be exiting from the back of the plane - which was nice as that's where I was, and at this point no official information was being given to us from the crew, and we all knew that there had to be some kind of weapon on the plane. They let off two rows of the plane, we were escorted by police to a waiting taxi-bus, where were where locked in. And for the next 15 minutes the rest of our plane, including our most of our program was held on the plane. Soon we saw the rest of the plane debarking and running towards the buses that were waiting, once they arrived, we were told that there was a bomb on our plane and that every single person was going to be taken to a holding center and we were going to be questioned while they searched our luggage and the plane for the bomb and the evidence. The next 4 hours included us sitting in a glass box of a holding center, individually being taken out to identify our luggage, and to be asked by the police where we were from... bla bla bla. A few hours into the process we saw the guy that I had been sitting next to (a business man from Heidelberg) being arrested and taken away. A few hours after that we were all cleared, and put on a new plane back to Germany. Still to this day - the most terrifying experience I've ever encountered. TL;DR - bomb on a plane I was on.

In my opinion; GG tried to get a downbeaten and desperate feeling cooking this seen as either misogyny or misanthropic, hate is hate. This can be viewed as violations in the way GG performed, by pushing boundaries of the "normal show" if that even exists. TL;DR: True seeking is often accompanied with certain hazards. Dropping a mud shark on the floor isn't m'kay.

I think the confusion is caused by the recent articles on persistence hunting. Humans may be outrun over a wide variety of conditions by a number of animals. But for total endurance over very long distances humans can keep going and eventually run down their prey. The horse for example may finish the marathon first, but if it were being chased by hungry humans with spears it would likely be run down somewhere past the end of marathon distance. Too many factors come into play to be accurate here, but: tl;dr Hungry humans with spears will eventually eat you.

Similar to what _Sorrows_ said, there are a few factors that contribute to EOTM being unbalanced. Green side tends to have the most people for starters and red the least people. Blue can occasionally rival green in size but it's even less common for red to do so. Anet has said that the colours are random but others have disagreed and I'm one of those who disagrees. The green side is most often the side with the dominant servers which usually means higher population. I don't command in EOTM on a regular basis but I do enjoy doing it from time to time, and when I command as green, I usually have about 80 people on me. That is a frigging HUGE zerg. Where as if we're blue or red, it's maybe 40 - 60 tops. The other imbalances come from the different designs of the keeps and their surrounding structures. Look at Inferno's Needle for example. That's _supposed_ to be a red tower, but where it's positioned it appears to be almost neutral. Red side also has scorpian's which can tear down the walls of their own keep in seconds. You can destroy the walls or gates of red keep where as with blue keep, you can destroy only the gates and one of those gates can be easily defended by destroying the bridge that leads to it. You also cannot destroy walls to get in to green keep. So red keep is the only one that you can enter more ways than just via the gates. Then you have the Altar buff which is on green side, it can turn you in to a ball of light that is invulnerable to all forms of damage. And beyond that you have the Overgrowth buff which heals and periodically removes conditions. The blue _de_ buff for invaders is hypothermia which reduces your movement speed to nearly a walking pace. The red buff is turrets. They can be killed but honestly, I find the red buff better than blue because those turrets can really fuck people up if you don't kill them. So tldr; Green has way better buffs, most often the dominant servers and highest population, blue has shitty buffs and a keep that's incredibly easy to defend because only one gate is somewhat easy to attack and red has a tower that's in an almost neutral location, a keep that can be entered from about 15 different locations and siege scorpians that can tear down their walls in seconds.

You can destroy the walls or gates of red keep where as with blue keep, you can destroy only the gates and one of those gates can be easily defended by destroying the bridge that leads to it. You also cannot destroy walls to get in to green keep. So red keep is the only one that you can enter more ways than just via the gates. Then you have the Altar buff which is on green side, it can turn you in to a ball of light that is invulnerable to all forms of damage. And beyond that you have the Overgrowth buff which heals and periodically removes conditions. The blue de buff for invaders is hypothermia which reduces your movement speed to nearly a walking pace. The red buff is turrets. They can be killed but honestly, I find the red buff better than blue because those turrets can really fuck people up if you don't kill them. So

Green has way better buffs, most often the dominant servers and highest population, blue has shitty buffs and a keep that's incredibly easy to defend because only one gate is somewhat easy to attack and red has a tower that's in an almost neutral location, a keep that can be entered from about 15 different locations and siege scorpians that can tear down their walls in seconds.

Let me tell you about my father, he has proved his badassery in three occasions (two of which I was not around to see, as I had not been born yet). The first: My father was waiting for a subway in Boston, he was a street player at the time, and had his instrument case (a citern, or bass mandolin, it's a big ass, heavy, steel strung instrument, and that with a hard case is enough to brain a mugger, as you will see) in one hand. He was waiting on the edge of the track in the middle of rush hour, when all of a sudden, as the train is pulling in, a man shoves him from behind. Lesser men would have fallen forward six inches, falling in front of the train and dying. But does he? No, he bends with the shove, whirls around to see the guy holding a knife, he keeps his momentum with him, smashing the case into the guys teeth, then runs out of the train station (he was on the bad side of town) and walks home. The next time, also before I was born, he was walking through harvard yard late at night, when he sees a black dot rushing towards him, about 100 yards away. It was a doberman pincher that he had had a few tussles with before, but it had always been on a leash. This time however, it had escaped, and was rushing for him with all the intent of a murderer. Now, it just so happens that his friend had gotten him a pair of boots a few days prior, they were large and clunky, not something a street playing hippie (who, for any of you who know the greater Boston area, was now working at The Medieval Manner, which was a great pup and show before it fell under new management and started sucking) would wear, but he wore them to make the friend happy. Lucky him, because as the dog jumped for him, he kicked out, catching the dog in the ribs, then kicked again, getting it straight in the jaw, both times he heard something crack. He never saw the dog again. The third time was recent, I had been busted, with a friend, by the friend's parents with one eighth of purple, outdoor grown, smelly, kush. We were sitting around their table as the two other parents ranted about "getting me, [friend] and the dealer the help we need" and wanting to call the cops on the dealer because hey, if it's high potency weed today, it's obviously heroin tomorrow. At this point my father takes the baggie out of his pocket, opens it, pulls a bud out, smells it, rolls it in his fingers, and goes "Son, you got ripped off, this is dyed." The conversation took a turn for the better after that. tl;dr: My father is a badass, musical, dog kicking, would-be-murderer teeth breaking, jail time removing (knock wood) hippie. I love my father.

So I was really bored last night, and being the improptu guy I am, I called this girl that i was mutually interested in. I told her i'll pick her up, and when she asked me what we're doing, i told her we'll improvise, because i'm good at that (I'm on an improv troupe). i pick her up, and, because we're in a car, i couldn't do any kino :( I drove her down some random road, and on our way, we found a really cool looking, thick fog. I parked and we went and explored that fog, and there were some cool silhouette effects with the light refraction and the fog (like you could see the shadows and the path of the light in mid air) and i used this as an opportunity to kino, like i moved her by the shoulders to places were the silhouettes looked cool. It's kind of hard to explain, but shortly after we sat down on some bench near that meadow. This is where i feel like i goofed. She let out a big sigh, and in a longing voice, said "so, what now?". To me, "So, what now?" has always been an IOI, or a desire to initiate, but because I didn't have much prior kino, I kind of disregarded that moment. Looking back, she probably wanted it... but anyway, we sat there and we talked about our current/previous FWB relationships and she told me that because it is the summer before she goes to college, she only wants a casual relationship(s). She currently has one with her ex, but he's really weird, in the sense that he broke up with her out of the blue, then 2 days later begged for her back, then a week later broke up with her again, yet was jealous that she was hanging out one on one with me. **This is crucial, because that's where I feel I come in.** We went back to my car and i drove around a little more, and we shared stories and laughed, and overall had a good time. We went back to my house to watch a movie. She sat on the couch that wasn't the "Love seat", or the two person couch, so I interpreted that as a non-desire. I sat alone the love seat. It wasn't really awkward or anything, i just think she wanted to be comfortable. halfway through the movie, i asked her to sit with me. She said "why? i'm comfortable here!" so I didn't push her farther. She had to go home a little later, so I just dropped her off. Now I feel like i missed out on my opportunity back on the bench. But here's the plan. I plan to basically bluntly ask her how attracted she is to her ex, then pretty much just straight up tell her that if she was FWB with me, i'd be better than her ex. The time before last night we hung out, we were with a bunch of friends, and i got her to kino me (she touched my face in a "romantic" way). **tl;dr** I hung out with this one girl. She told me that she wants only casual relationships before school starts. I accidentally, through my residually beta ways, let an opportunity to hook up pass by, and let attraction dissipate a little. My plan is to just straight up ask her to be FWB. Does r/seduction have any helpful advice? Please don't tear me apart like last time :(

I meant to decide on a location and offer the two empty seats as "prizes" for a fun ride-share somewhere out of town. An accidental tourist kind of thing. A reddit event on wheels. They've gotten together to invent the fun idea of a non-traditional yard sale, why not extend that to weekend getaways. I've always liked movies where the characters get to be friends under this premise. Boys On The Side comes to mind, but there are plenty of others with similar pretense that are much more recent, and lighter hearted, I just can't think of to reference for a better analogy. Edit: TLDR- I just meant if other Redditors stopped by, take the opportunity to plan a future get together via triad trip. Hit the casino in Joplin, schedule a Cards game, horse racing in Hot Springs, wine tasting in Herrmann..:. We have Reddit in common we can create other experiences to share too. Good way to build friendships.

Hey everyone, I am leaving for London tomorrow, I am a slacker so I don't really have this all worked out yet but there is no rush at the moment. I am going to be doing a summer school study abroad program with my university and I will be in London (if you didn't already guess that) I am from California btw. I will be in London for 2 months (end of June I leave). I am planning on taking the tube everywhere (unless there is an easier way). I am going to living in downtown and I probably won't venture out past zone 2. So I am wondering should I get an Oyster card or the Travelcard? Which do you think would be better for a student to get and use for a two month time period? I have been for a few days, a couple of years ago so very faintly familiar with the city. I don't have any specific questions right now but any other tips or suggestions or anything else I should know would be great! tl;dr Studying abroad in London for 2 months, looking for help with Oyster vs travelcard and taking any other suggestions.

Agreed, your old subs aren't the type of people to sit watching a 3-4 hour live stream (some are obviously), they prefer short "what is Woody doing today vids". So the idea of shorter 20ish minute edited Minecraft Video's is a great idea. I'm one of these people, I don't watch your Minecraft videos because I have no interest/time to watch a super long video. Baring in mind most live-stream videos you can't really catch the first few minutes and want to keep watching unless you are a fan of the series already. This is mostly because of the very nature of livestreams, with long periods of not talking and not much going on. It's not easy to adjust to from your regular 10 minute, to the point videos your subscribers are used to. TL;DR Old subs aren't interesting in watching a 4 hour livestream (hence like ratio). Shorter, edited (Best-bits?) would be an easier transition for your old subs and current Minecraft fans alike

Not my own story, but the one of a guy i knew at university. He went through three years of uni without telling anyone and i mean anyone that he failed his second year and that all the way till graduation he wasn't doing his degree. As none of his friends did his course he continued to pretend to go lectures, the library and stay living in a student house and be part of of a uni football team without anyone finding out he was no longer a member of the uni. His friends started to get suspicious toward the end of his 'final' year, and when they tried to ask him he would cover himself really well. However they knew something was wrong when he seemed to not know when his dissertation deadlines or exams were. He even told them he did well, but his friends knew otherwise as his results weren't published where his 'degree' subject put their results up. He claimed it was a mistake and that they'd emailed him his results. He even added that he would see them on graduation day. When the day came by, he was nowhere to be seen and his name wasn't read out. Through some delving they found out he hadn't been a member of the uni since he failed second year. They haven't heard from him since. Can you imagine living this lie. He was even lying to his parents who were paying for him. Despite this he went to the expense of paying for student lifestyle and pretending to do degree just because he couldn't let himself tell anyone he'd failed second year. TL;DR - Guy failed second year of uni. Pretended to everyone that he was still be a student until graduation.

We have Ability Draft, Single Draft, Random Draft, Captain's Draft, Captain's Mode, and more! I had this realization the other day: I enjoy playing Dota 2 because every game is different, and the variety between lanes and heroes is almost infinite. Part of why this patch sucks now is because the fotm "meta" heroes are always picked, almost regardless of what synergy they have with the rest of the team, and that kills almost all of the variety that I would expect from such a potentially diverse game. Same heroes, same lanes, boring game. I don't want to make a long post because the solution is simple. If you don't like seeing these heroes then try these other modes. The biggest downfall to playing them is that the queue times are longer, but if more of you diversify and add a few modes into your regular games then i guarantee the wait will be shorter and you will have more interesting games in the process. That's it. Stop bitching about the patch. We're all hurting for something new, but the tools we need for that are right here in front of us. No tl;dr because I pity anyone who needs it for a post this short and encourage them to pick up a book and read more. Lazy fucks..

We have Ability Draft, Single Draft, Random Draft, Captain's Draft, Captain's Mode, and more! I had this realization the other day: I enjoy playing Dota 2 because every game is different, and the variety between lanes and heroes is almost infinite.

If you want to get out of the friend zone, stop being a friend. Worked for me. I liked a girl, we had a fight, stopped being friends. Then one day she calls me out of the blue and wants to talk. She's decided that when I'm not at her beck-and-call any more that she really misses me and likes me. Inside I'm thinking "YES!" but I knew, now, that going for it would be suicide. So I continued to act aloof and let her continue in her attempts to woo me. tl;dr, I won.

I live in South Africa, where the drinking age is 18. 17 year old me goes and buys alcohol for me and a couple of friends 1 guy, 2 girls (sisters). We go out, have fun on the beach, drink one shot of vodka each and just talk. Gangster guy aproaches. I mean fucking gangster, girls get anxious and my friend and I ready ourselves for confrontation. He tells us he's police and we should go with. Shit. Ok? No? After about 5 minutes we go with him. He's constantly on his phone and telling us that he's calling the army. The fucking army?!? Atleast hes's not rounding up his gangster friends. Takes us to the police station. Only then shows us his badge because he forgot it at the station. After long arguments over racism (the topic tends to get thrown around in the country) they tell us we're going to sleep in jail for the night and will be charged with public indecency...after one shot of vodka and just talking on the beach. Girls start crying and call their mom. Girls' mom arices 3 minutes later and goes outside to talk to gangster dude. Comes back 5 minutes later. We're free... Turns out she bribed him with food. Fucking. Food. Not money or anything worth value. A McDonald's meal. Tl;dr : got charged with public indecency, bribed police with food, thank the lord South Africa is corrupt! Forgive spelling mistakes, used phone.

So I just convinced my friend last month to check out Breaking Bad (breaking her from her obsession with The Walking Dead was pretty hard, not gonna lie.). She watches it, right? And she gets past the first season, gets into season two, and then she texts me, complaining about how sad Jane's death was and how unneeded it was. Her reasoning? 'Jane and Jesse were sooo cute together, she didn't need to die!". She has told me repeatably she will not be watching another episode of Breaking Bad. What do I do or say to convince her to watch again, and suffer more heartbreak? TL;DR my friend refuses to watch anymore BrBa b/c of Jane's death, how do i convince her to watch it again?

Just a head's up, this is my first post ever--I created this account to post my question. I've lurked two x for a long time, and thought this community could give me the best advice for my situation. I'm 22 and graduate in May. I don't live at home but my parents pay for tuition and all insurance. My family is fairly conservative. I used to go to Planned Parenthood for birth control (Microgestin Fe). In August I went to a gynecologist's and switched to NuvaRing. I really like this birth control, and decided to go through insurance to keep using it. Everything went great until the new year. New deductible. With insurance, a three month supply of NuvaRing is now $290. My insurance (UMR, if that's important) requires me to get three months of NuvaRing at a time. My question, two x, is how to afford it. I don't quite understand the new legislation for the Affordable Care Act, but I thought that it made birth control be very low cost (if not free). I don't know much about my insurance, and am uncomfortable asking my parents. My mom keeps track of finances and begrudgingly accepts I am on birth control, but will not help pay the out of pocket fees. My dad doesn't know. Should I call UMR (which is not a religious provider, to my knowledge) and ask them what the deal is? Shouldn't they be providing birth control for me at a reduced rate as per the ACA? Is it because NuvaRing is name brand? Any suggestions on how to stay on NuvaRing by reducing my out of pocket cost would be greatly appreciated. Especially if anyone has specific things to say while on the phone with UMR, or something. TL;DR on family insurance, need more information / advice about insurance providing birth control for about $100 a month despite the ACA.

A while back I read from a gent on here that cream and soap weren't actually needed when shaving in the shower. Needless to say I was very skeptical. Before I'd managed to figure out how to properly angle my DE, my experience with an overly wet face or runny lather led to a lot of wet skin catching on the face plate. So this morning I figured I'd give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised. There was equal or less irritation than I would normally expect from an average shave with my soaps. And to top it all off I shaved without a mirror. TL; DR shaved with shower water and no mirror and everything went better than expected.

Two girls got into a fight that was very one sided, all I remember hearing is one girl jumped over a fence of some sort and just started punching the other in the face, some details are not quite accurate, I didn't really know the girls but this is what i remember. Anyway, the next day the girl who lost the fight brought some of her more feral friends along to get revenge, the plan was I think to either stab her or beat her until she was out (we live in Australia so there wasn't guns or anything involved) The time came where they met up after strolling around for most of their time there yelling shit at the teachers, the girls whom intended on bashing the other girls followed we down the front of the school and confronted her, however she had brought a meat tenderiser and started waving that around (not literally, as in threatening with it) Soon after I believe some Of the friends got into a fight (verbally not that physically) and ended up either calling the vice principal a bitch or shoving her or both. Shortly after that all the teachers were following the friends around and had taken the weapon off the girl I believe, people make up their own versions of it so the details are hard but the teachers caught up with the friends the school called lockdown which is where we all had to move into the gymnasium and wait there until the people left the school yard, this event sparked an inside joke in our school, really anything involving meat tenderisers has been funny since then Tl;DR fight, retaliation, feral Australians, meat tenderisers, nothing happened

Godamnit, I knew this would happen. A little back story: Two of my good friends got married this weekend, and leading up to it, the bride and groom wanted to play matchmaker with me and the bride's sister. They got married on Saturday and are now off on a mini honeymoon while the sister watches over the apartment and the couple's cat. At the wedding she said that we should hang out because she doesn't live around here, doesn't know anyone, and will be alone in the apartment for a couple days.... So I wake up today, off work, bored, restless, etc... I was thinking to myself that I should call this girl and make plans to hang out... Instead, my boredom takes its usual path and next thing I know, PMO... Not even 20 minutes after finishing, she texts me saying I should come hang out with her! Now I know I shouldn't assume that she's just looking for sex, and I shouldn't just be looking for sex either, but I just killed a 3 day streak, and should the opportunity arise, I'm probably not going to be able to perform. TL;DR: Relapsed instead of hanging out with a girl. Now the girl wants to hang out and I feel shitty about relapsing.

So on sunday I finally decided to try it with some friends, they picked me up at my house and we drove around for a while with the air conditioner off, they said it was something like a "hot box" technique, and it would all end up being twice more awesome. I hit it up about 10 times (it was a little pipe pretty much like [this one]( ) At the beginning I felt nothing, like seriously, NOTHING, other than the weird smell that I'm guessing is normal. I inhaled pretty deep, kept the smoke for about 10 seconds and then blew it all out. After the 6th time or something I only felt *a bit* dizzy and started talking without thinking, being this weird since I'm someone who over thinks the stuff I'm about to say and most of the times I don't say anything at all. They took a picture of me with my phone to show me that my eyes were red and they were indeed like RED, so they gave me some eye drops to make them look better. 8 minutes later we got to a friend's house and played some MW3, I felt like that thing was freaking 3D, but I'm pretty sure it was because I was standing 4 feet away from it and that TV is freaking expensive. When we were on the elevator I saw my eyes were like on fire and had this bags under my eyes. 10 minutes later everything went back to normal, while my other friends seemed high as hell. What did I do wrong? Is it normal that some people don't get any relevant effects out of it? TL;DR: &gt;friends pick me up at house. &gt;we drive around with A/C off. &gt;I hit it up 6 times. &gt;feel *slightly* dizzy. &gt;hit it up 4 more times. &gt;get to friend's. &gt;play mw3. &gt;tv looks *slightly* like 3D. &gt;done.

I'm a solo-Lucario main, and I must say, thanks! You left my character untouched for the most part, only adjusting the angles of certain moves. I'm still able to execute glorious combos, pull off ASCs, and use the aMSa wall climb just like before! Plus, I'm able to add even more options to my arsenal with the new crouch/tilt attack he has. The one thing I dislike is the upB sweetspot detection change - now I *Really* need to try for the ledge or else I'll go sailing past it and SD. However, I suppose it's one of the best case scenarios for a patch about recovery nerfs - it still has a great range and can be canceled using a charge if nessesary. o3o TL;DR: ledges are currently my worst nightmare, but other than that, it's perfect! :D Edit: somehow completely forgot about this until now: LUCARIO ACTUALLY HAS A SHIELD NOW THANK YOU BASED PMDT! WOO! \0/

I'm a solo-Lucario main, and I must say, thanks! You left my character untouched for the most part, only adjusting the angles of certain moves. I'm still able to execute glorious combos, pull off ASCs, and use the aMSa wall climb just like before! Plus, I'm able to add even more options to my arsenal with the new crouch/tilt attack he has. The one thing I dislike is the upB sweetspot detection change - now I Really need to try for the ledge or else I'll go sailing past it and SD. However, I suppose it's one of the best case scenarios for a patch about recovery nerfs - it still has a great range and can be canceled using a charge if nessesary. o3o

So I got a Bitfenix prodigy case the other week and I'm not putting anything into it yet (hardware) but I was originally going to just spray paint the Steam logo, Half Life logo, Portal/aperture science logo and the TF2 logo on it but I have a workshop with a lot of tools and various equipment so I've decided that I want to do some other mods to the case. I had an idea of putting some LEDs and things in but is there anything you would do? TL;DR Suggestions for modding a Bitfenix Prodigy

Have you seen the movie The Prestige? Subtract all the magic and murder and focus on the Christian Bale/Rebecca Hall subplot and you have a pretty good idea of how I'm feeling. I've been with my boyfriend for over 6 years. In that time, we've spent 1 year living fairly close to each other, 1 year in a long distance relationship, and 4 years living together. We've lived in 3 different cities during this time because of my grad school. He wanted to move to be with me after our year apart, and I encouraged that idea. I'm not ignorant to his alcoholism. He drinks. I deal. He never gets physically aggressive. Recently I've just been shutting myself in my bedroom when he starts drinking heavily because I know what he's going to say: "I'm miserable." "You've taken me away from my friends." "I was doing well before we moved." "You don't respect me." "You don't appreciate me." And the most recent development... "I don't love you anymore." That one cut deep. They all cut deep, but hearing that is like a punch in the chest. That was about 2 weeks ago at midnight, and I was certain we were over. The next day was a whirlwind of headache, stomachache, heartbreak, ice cream, and Netflix. When he came home from work he apologized profusely, saying he regretted it all. He told me I'm not the problem, and he can't imagine life without me. He said he wants to get sober. He wants a family. He wants children. I stayed. Which brings us to now. I had to go out of town Thursday-Sunday. Thursday via text message I discovered he had been drinking. Did he even wait for me to pull out of the driveway to do so? That hurt. Now my head is fuzzy and my stomach aches. I feel too old to be dating someone who can't offer me stability. I feel like I live with two different people: the sober man who wants to start a family and be a devoted husband and father, and the drunk who blames me for his insecurities and shortcomings and wants to leave it all. I think I have to end this relationship, for my own mental health and future. But it hurts. It's not an easy decision. I don't know if I should give it more time. A second or third chance. I don't know. It hurts. **tl;dr**: My boyfriend of 6 years struggles with alcoholism, and I it's driving us apart.

Been there, done that - pretty much same situation. We're madly in love with one another and our relationship was going well in all other aspects. The above suggestions are good if you're not too far gone. If it's been like this for a while then your wife may have other issues. It was like this for me for a while. I'd get so excited and be like "Yeah, tonight's the night!" and get shot down night after night. Not like verbally shot down, but I'd start to "make my move" and this would be met with a full turnover and subsequent sleep. (And when I say "make my move" I'm not talking about sleezy teenager moves, every couple has their "initiation moves" and we all know what our partner's "moves" are...) Maybe once a week we'd have sex, and only if SHE was in the mood. I had brought it up casually outside of the bedroom a few times, told her to ask her OB/GYN about it, etc.. but nothing ever happened. Finally I absolutely had enough - I was pissed and full of resent. She tried to initiate one night and I just said "Nope. Sorry dear, not in the mood." and she started to take offense and asking what was wrong. Then I just spilled it all out - how I was tired of only having sex once a week if that, and only when SHE was in the mood, and I was tired of rejection and that I'd simply learn to live without sex if it was only going to ever be on her terms (I was serious about this as well.) That really got to her. She felt terrible, though it wasn't my intent to make her feel terrible, just to express how I was feeling. We talked for a couple of hours into the middle of the night. She thought back and agreed that something was wrong. She agreed to try and make some changes and actually make an appointment and talk to her OB/GYN about these issues. It was awkward for the next couple of days when she tried to initiate, however we did get over it. She did see her doctor about a month later and had a nice long chat with him. Apparently this situation is quite a common thing for OB/GYNs to get asked about. He asked a bunch of social / behavioral / "What's going on in your life?" questions, performed a physical examination, etc.. He basically said that it's easy for one partner in a couple to go through a busy / stressful period in their life and put sex in the back seat. Sometimes it goes from the back seat to the trunk. He said that she really just needed to "force it" a few times - even though it's just easier to roll over and go to sleep, just do it. The more you do it, the more you WANT to do it. Make sex a habit instead of making NOT having sex a habit. This was about 6-7 months ago and since then we have sex much more regularly - a few times a week on average - sometimes every day for a couple of weeks, sometimes less. But it's definitely a lot better than it was and we're both happier people for it. Just my advice, but hope it helps you out! **TL;DR: Read it anyway. Sex in a committed relationship is important stuff.**

Not really a gameshow but more of an experiment. Grab a group of people to be test subjects, make them side NDA and various forms of paper work and basically totally convince them that they're about to take part of a very fucked up experiment which they then become nervous and apprehensive about. I want everyone to be almost shaking from fear over what's about to happen, and one by one pull them away for the experiment. They'll be in a room similar to one of those 'point out the guy who did it' rooms in police departments from movies. They'll each be presented with a criminal. They'll be told they can choose whether he lives or dies by pressing the red (kill) or green (live) button. They'll then be told a horribly misrepresented story about the criminal. "He broke into a mans home and knocked him out, tied him up and waited until he awoke and then proceeded to physically/mentally torture him for ten days. No food, no water, and was forced to be kept awake. (Kudos if you get this reference). "What's one thousand minus seven?" He would ask his victim to help the victim unknowingly remain conscious. He would horribly torture the man, inserting various horrible insects into every orifice of his body, flay various parts of his body before breaking off the fingers/toes that he flayed/tore nails from with a pair of pliers. And so on, the victim eventually dies from dehydration after spending the entire entirety of his torture awake." Or some equally awful story to incriminate the guy, and then will be told that he will be released a year from now should they let him live, he swears he's a "changed man". They then must decide. And I want someone borderline interrogating them for an answer. I want somebody in their face yelling at them to choose, they need to be crying from the thought of choosing. Should they choose to kill him? They will then be told that the man they just killed did all of that in retribution. The man he tortured and eventually killed had broken into his house while he and his family were sleeping, tied them all up and systemically raped and killed his family members (wife and two young daughters) in front of him, and once the police arrived he was unable to do anything to the monster. They would then realize the horrifying truth that they just executed (what could be viewed as) a innocent man who did what plenty of other people would do in his shoes, and that they are in a way no better than the "murderer" that they just executed, they would be given $1M as a thank you for participating in the experiment and be forced to live the rest of their life knowing they killed a innocent man and are no worse than the monster they once thought he was. Those who chose the green button to spare his life were told the same revelations about the man and given a $1M thank you gift. Tldr show people that anyone can be a monster, it just takes the right situation.
