Best tip I can give you is to train to fight. Boxing, Judo, BJJ, Muay Thai, Krav Maga, anything man. Find something you like and train in it. If you were to get into a fight tomorrow, it will probably go the exact same way it went today. Also, understand that no matter how good you become at fighting, or how many tips you get, there is ALWAYS a chance you will still get your ass kicked. Training helps you mentally deal with that ass kicking too. TL;DR - Find some fighting art you like, Train.

in my limited experience i find that learning the game first and getting your general mechanics down is a lot more important than learning individual heroes. if you have a good general knowledge of skill interactions and skill usages(which you can obtain from both playing against certain heroes and with certain heroes on your team, i.e. by not necessarily playing the hero itself) and decent mechanical skill, then playing a hero you've not played before becomes a LOT easier. personally i just played the heroes i liked playing, and occasionally when i went out of my comfort zone with heroes i hadn't played before i still did pretty well as the general mechanical skill and game knowledge i'd built up from say, my first game as enigma(the first hero i played) to my first game as jakiro(couple days ago) made both experiences completely different and i played a pretty semi-decent jakiro. tl;dr learn the game and learning the heroes will come naturally. the only real exception to this i would say are micro-intensive heroes, in which a completely different kind of skill is required.

I sort of have 2, The 1st being this - I've always doubted an existence of God but always flirted with the idea of religion... Mostly due to the fact that people would talk to me and the idea of a God that loves me when pretty much no else has is appealing. But I'm sure as hell not religious and I'm defiantly closer to the atheist side then the Christian... But what if we're wrong? I sure as hell know I've messed up much easier questions then eternal life/damnation and suffering. Number 2 being - I grew up in a pretty fucked up house. Abuse, neglect, parents who hated each other but stayed together to help me (Don't do it, it doesn't do jack shit other then make your kid miserable) and I got kicked out of schools pretty much everywhere. This all led to me not having friends like at all. Ever. I never stayed in a school more then a year until high school. My freshman year, I had a theater class that I got stuck in because everything was full. We were assigned partners and pretty much the whole class was spent with them. What do you know I get paired with the sweetest, smartest, most attractive girl I've ever met in my life (Ok she's not the most attractive looking back, But she was a looker). The first few weeks are awkward as hell, as you might imagine. But eventually we start talking and we bonded. Like super bonded. Like we were inseparable for most of high school. She took so much shit over talking to me, but it never stopped her. After 2 or so years, I finally worked up the confidence to ask her out. I planned and I planned, I picked a date, I knew exactly what I was going to say and I set out for her house with determination. I bought flowers and everything. I get to her house and let myself in (Best friends and I have an abusive family, I spent more time there then I did at my house) and walk up to her room. I turn the corner to go in and there she is kissing some guy. Ofc I'm crushed so I high tail it the hell out of dodge. Never said a word about it, and she never found it. Later on she introduced me and I ofc had to pretend it was the best thing ever. But this guy was a class A fuckhead. (Why are women attracted to that... Someone explain that) I hated him from the start, but tried to support her. Worst mistake I ever made. About four months after I found out, He drugged and raped her. She won't come near a single man without the most hateful and fear filled expression. To this day I hate myself for not telling her I hated him and that he wasn't someone she wanted to be around. I fear that I (Regardless of if it was fault or not) failed to keep her safe. Sorry for the long ass walk. TL:DR #1 Christians right and I'm wrong #2 Didn't stand up to best friend about asshole boyfriend who I hated, He rapes her, I could have stopped it. Edited for spelling mistakes/general clean up

One thing I have been told multiple times is that if you have any field or lab experience and you really connected to a grad student or professor, see what the programs are like at the school where they got their masters, PhD or maybe even were a postdoc at. This can open up doors for you! For instance, you can put the person you connected to (let's call them person A) as one of your references. I'd put them near the top of your list. Person A went to Berkeley. You decide to look into Berkeley's programs. You find that person A knows many of the faculty members as they were very active in the department. You submit your application to the person with the project you're most interested in, (person B) but you say is okay if it doesn't work out with them, you wouldn't mind working with someone else. Person B sees person A on your references list and remembers that person A still has his Janis Joplin album and has been meaning to call him anyway! He calls up person A, they catch up, then B asks A about you. A raves about you and says "you'd be missing out if you didn't take this wonderful person on." B then looks at what you are interested in and realizes (with a little help from the positive words of his friend) you would be the perfect fit! Assuming you pass the interview. Good luck with everything!! I don't know much about deadlines, I just thought this might be a way to shorten the time it would take. TL/DR: who you know is more helpful sometimes than what you know.

There was a interview done over the summer with a Japanese game designer whose name escapes me. The main focus was your question. His thoughts on it was that Japanese game developers had gotten complacent and no longer create games that are as interesting as they had in the past. That the cool visuals are there but a good narrative is missing. Also Japan had always made game for it's markets first and then released them to the rest of the world. Now there are more game developers making games geared towards US and Euro sales. Go and look at the games released in the 80's and 90's, and compare them to the release lists from 00's. I would think that the 00's list might be bigger and has a more diverse list of developers Over the last decade there has been a major shift in what type of games are available. The 80's had a few types that the 90's expanded on that list and the 00's saw those game types multiply by stitching together different types into new "frankenstein" game types. Like Borderlands being a Shooter with RPG elements, or Fallout New Vegas being a RPG with shooter elements. TLDR: Japan got lazy, and there is way more competition

You're missing out on a few key stages, which is crucial to how the law works. When the 999 call is made, by either someone who heard the gunshot, or the homeowner who's defended himself, an ARV (armed response vehicle) **will** be sent out. The guy with the gun, whomever it may be, will be ordered to put the weapon down. If he owns a shotgun/rifle, then there will be a 99% chance that he'll also possess the shotgun certificate or FAC (Firearms certificate) to go along with it. This will be recorded on a database and will enable the police to establish whether he is the legal owner of the firearm very quickly. The police do not have to arrest someone to talk to them. The police will talk to the person who used self defence in the household, be it for a few minutes longer, to establish the basic runthrough of events. If everything checks out, there are witnesses etc, then normally you'll just be asked to go to the station to give a statement, and possibly further questioning. If there are any discrepancies, etc, you'll probably be arrested. tl;dr Establishing identity is an incredible simple process, and if there's any doubt then you'll be arrested.

After seeing enough of these pre and post weight loss photos, I've decided I'll dedicate my senior thesis in scientific research to this phenomenon I'm going to call *The Chubby Muncher*. I established that every person that is overweight, from a little chubbiness to a lot of fat lady lobes covering the body, in every segment of being a fatty, is capable of eating a smaller, handsome person. Whether or not it shows depends on the size of the smaller, handsome person and the digestion process of the fat person. When they munch it down, the smaller person has a 1/32 chance of still being alive. In other cases, the fat person remains fat forever, but can still munch down other smaller people that will reset the 1/32 chance for them. In the rare case that the smaller person survives, they can, in turn, start eating up the conscience of the fat person from within. This is a 100% deliberate choice. If the smaller person decided they like being inside the big person, they can tingle their brains and ask for more candy, and the fat person will inject more sugars into their body, for the smaller person to eat. They have to survive too, you know. But if the smaller person decides they want out and start eating the conscience, at one point, the rest of the triggers will stop working. The fat person will stop eating so much and so unhealthy, the fat person's muscles will demand exercise and eventually, the fat person is completely obliterated and the smaller, handsome person comes out. **TL;DR** don't be fooled! This is not the fat person from the first photo! It is a smaller, handsome person the fat person had at first eaten, but fought its way out!

The fat person will stop eating so much and so unhealthy, the fat person's muscles will demand exercise and eventually, the fat person is completely obliterated and the smaller, handsome person comes out. TL;DR don't be fooled! This is not the fat person from the first photo! It is a smaller, handsome person the fat person had at first eaten, but fought its way out!

After seeing enough of these pre and post weight loss photos, I've decided I'll dedicate my senior thesis in scientific research to this phenomenon I'm going to call The Chubby Muncher . I established that every person that is overweight, from a little chubbiness to a lot of fat lady lobes covering the body, in every segment of being a fatty, is capable of eating a smaller, handsome person. Whether or not it shows depends on the size of the smaller, handsome person and the digestion process of the fat person. When they munch it down, the smaller person has a 1/32 chance of still being alive. In other cases, the fat person remains fat forever, but can still munch down other smaller people that will reset the 1/32 chance for them. In the rare case that the smaller person survives, they can, in turn, start eating up the conscience of the fat person from within. This is a 100% deliberate choice. If the smaller person decided they like being inside the big person, they can tingle their brains and ask for more candy, and the fat person will inject more sugars into their body, for the smaller person to eat. They have to survive too, you know. But if the smaller person decides they want out and start eating the conscience, at one point, the rest of the triggers will stop working. The fat person will stop eating so much and so unhealthy, the fat person's muscles will demand exercise and eventually, the fat person is completely obliterated and the smaller, handsome person comes out.

She is not the most important thing in your world. You are, and you are performing a massive disservice by staying on this withered relationship. She doesn't want to try with you, she wants to try with this other guy. What's more, she's cheating on the other guy with you. Remember that when you're talking about getting over your betrayal; she is continuing to betray both of your trusts. You seem like a great guy, but you gotta walk away from this. It will be difficult, and you will be tempted to talk to your ex repeatedly. That's why there are a lot of jokes about drunks calling up their exes at night. But you'll see that it gets better over time. If you're looking for advice on handling the breakup, I would suggest hobbies, friends, and positive atmospheres. Also, it's normal to feel pathetic now, but you can't turn on yourself. You did everything you could, and your ex decided to take advantage of your kindness. TL;DR - Fuck that bitch, she doesn't deserve you.

You have to hit all of your defensive timings - if you don't know what your defensive timings are, watch some pro games. You will see terran put up turrets after a certain point, some Zerg lay spore crawlers in advance, and most common protoss timing is a cannon or observer to prevent burrowed warfare. Banshee harassment made 6 queens the standard for some players. I strongly suggest getting upwards of 4-6 queens against terran specifically for dealing with early banshees and hellions. In terms of detection, cloak banshees are the reason for most early lairs. I generally go for lair tech only after +1 armor and ranged are done, otherwise I feel I am going for it far too early. TL;DR Either you invest in Queens for AA and Overseer's for detection, or you make 3+ Spores to cover all of your tech buildings, bases and drones.

No, I'm specifically trying (and apparently failing) to say this is NOT okay, but unfortunately it is currently how it is (or at least this has been the expectation I've seen from pretty much everyone, male or female).

Barring that, if I was actually reading you correctly, I wanted confirmation of that, rather than leaving it as me being unsure. Also, you have repeatedly treated me as if I'm the one asking to be paid for, or as if I am a woman.

I'd like to respond to the second question. My answer: Who cares? This is my opinion of course, but even if an omnicient and omnipotent being created the universe, it would be nothing like theists describe it. Do you really think such a being would be jealous, violent, attention craving, hypocritical, sexist, racist, ... etc? With its unlimited power, do you even think it cares about a damned thing that happens on Earth? Given the scope of the universe's existence, our species exists in a blink of an eye to a being of that nature. Why would our existence matter to it? Regardless, the existence of such a being as described by theists contradicts itself (an omniscient being cannot be omnipresent). It also still does not answer the question of infinite regression, which I fear is impossible to answer. TLDR: There are more important questions we should be asking ourselves, my friend!

You can always refute clever logic with more clever logic, but when it comes to the nature of reality that shit ain't really quantifiable. Fun to think about, but it may be a distraction. A monk named Malunkyaputta came to Gautama Buddha with questions regarding whether the universe was real or unreal, finite or infinite, etc. He claimed that he could not continue his practice unless the enlightened one provided him with the answers to these questions. The Buddha told him he was like a man who had been shot by a poisoned arrow and would not have it removed until he knew the name of the shooter and the maker of the arrow. TL;DR: Stop worrying about shit that has no answer and start worrying about the shit that does

I have to disagree with you on what this video is actually about. Bret is trying to show developers that you can live your life with a driving principle. The demos that he shows are there to help drive home his point that you don't have to be a journalist or some sort of modern day Martin Luther King in order to make a difference. I title this "Every Developer Should See This" because I absolutely believe that you can make a difference in any field, especially one related to technology. It isn't immediately obvious how a game developer can live by a driving principle, but I think this talk helps to enlighten us to see that there are more possibilities than just making games that people like to play. I hope the majority of the people who read these comments and watch the video realize that finding out what you stand for is very important. Doing something about it is even more important. TL;DR - This video is to show you that you can live your life with a driving principle, no matter what field you are in. Find something that you believe in and do something to change the world.

Pros: Cool fall and spring, moderate summers, SNOW!!! It snows in the winter, wide selection of dining options, expansive amount of resources for freshmen and undergrads, smaller class sizes, hundreds of official clubs, including club sports like Karate, Youn Wha Ryu, Roller Derby, Water Polo, USA Archery, Badjakcs (dance), Ultimate Frisbee, Quidditch, Scooting, as well as non-sport clubs and organizations, like the Anime club, Philosophy club, ASNAU (Student Gov't), PRISM (People Respecting Individuals and Sexual Minorities), and a group for just about every foreign language, political interest, and religion imaginable. Cons: wind. Just the fucking wind. Summers are a little warmer than what people expect (80-85 during the day), Construction projects - there's always something happening somewhere, buses are packed when it starts getting cold b/c nobody wants to walk. Things you should know: 1) If you drink or do other drugs, be discrete about it. If you don't cause trouble or blow your horn about drinking, you won't get into trouble. You should also know that NOBODY can enter your dorm room without your permission. An RA can open up and see if you're okay if he or she suspects you are in need of serious medical attention, service workers can enter when you are gone to affect repairs on internet, plumbing, electric, etc, and you must open up for Police IF AND ONLY IF they have a warrant for your arrest/search/seizure of property. THAT BEING SAID, do not abuse these benefits of living on campus. Be considerate to your neighbors and uniformed officials. Be respectful of those around you and be responsible for your actions. 2) You're going to get a lanyard. Don't. fucking. wear it. Put that shit away. Nobody wants to see your I.D. hanging from your neck, and everybody hates that you have your life attached to it, with the end hanging out of your pocket. Both of these are dumb-ass moves to pull. Don't be an obvious freshman. Put your I.D. in your wallet/purse and put your keys in your pocket. 3) Remember what being a freshman was like in high school? It'll be kind of like that, except you won't (hopefully) be as awkward. People will be a little more accepting of you and interested in you, but don't let that make you forget your manners or your intelligence. 4) Keep on top of due dates not only for homework, but things like exams, enrollment dates, add/drop/withdraw dates, and financial dues. Social life: My best advice is: If you want to buy your friends, join a fraternity or sorority. I'm not saying you won't meet great people, but understand that you are buying your way into a social sect. If that's not for you, see option 2: If you want to make legitimate friends (not that there's something wrong with fratbros/sorohoes), attend the club info fair and join some clubs that interest you. If you're religious, join the religious club of your choice. You also don't have to be religious to make friends who are. I'm part of NAU Chabad, the Jewish organization on campus, and I'm not even Jewish. I don't even have Jewish ancestors or relatives, to my knowledge. Talk to your classmates every day if you can, and meet all your neighbors right away. Don't be the awkward guy or girl who never says hi in the hallway and doesn't know his or her neighbors names. You live with these people. Be their friends. Good luck!!! **TL;DR:** Good weather, good community, be smart and safe, join clubs, get to know your classmates and neighbors.

It'll be kind of like that, except you won't (hopefully) be as awkward.

I'm not saying you won't meet great people, but understand that you are buying your way into a social sect. If that's not for you, see option 2: If you want to make legitimate friends (not that there's something wrong with fratbros/sorohoes), attend the club info fair and join some clubs that interest you. If you're religious, join the religious club of your choice. You also don't have to be religious to make friends who are. I'm part of NAU Chabad, the Jewish organization on campus, and I'm not even Jewish. I don't even have Jewish ancestors or relatives, to my knowledge. Talk to your classmates every day if you can, and meet all your neighbors right away. Don't be the awkward guy or girl who never says hi in the hallway and doesn't know his or her neighbors names. You live with these people. Be their friends. Good luck!!! TL;DR: Good weather, good community, be smart and safe, join clubs, get to know your classmates and neighbors.

Go play Guild Wars 2, step into World vs World and watch what happens when your 100 players runs into the enemy group of 100 players. Spoiler: You get killed by invisible enemy players and AOE because they aren't loaded up on your screen before they kill you. The massive battles that take place in EVE would be able to take place if it was an FPS twitch combat game. TL;DR - Don't expect to see battles anywhere near the scale you see in EVE.

If your opponent's policies are bad for the country, inform the public as to how and why this is the case, and let said public remove him on the next election cycle if they see fit. That is how democracy works: *obeying the will of the people.* The politicians in Washington are supposed to be public servants, not public tyrants. By doing otherwise, the Republicans prove that they are not acting in the best interests of America. They further prove that they are acting in a way that is fundamentally anti-democratic, and thus, anti-American. tl;dr: Republicans are traitors to the United States.

It may sound a bit lame, btu here's mine: I was driving in my Explorer in a small town in MD when i came to a red light. I like country music, so this new song "Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line came on, I had my windows rolled down and the volume cranked up. It was just one of those songs you can't not roll down the windows and blast. A while ago, Maryland instituted noise violations, and would ticket you for having your music too loud. I believe the measure is that it can't be heard more than 5 feet from hyour vehicle. Anyway, they just recently started enforcing it. So here I am sitting at a red light, and a MD state trooper pulls up next to me, in a turn line. I'm rocking out and singing along when I turn my head and see him staring at me. I think "CRAP!" and drop the music real low. The trooper rolls down his window with the same unchanging stern look and says "Excuse mer sir!" I sheepishly replied "Yes officer?" He glared at me for what felt like an hour before breaking a smile and saying "Turn that shit up! I love that song!" I laughed, turned it up, and we had about a half minute duet between our cars until the light changed. Driving away I thought to myself "Wow, that went better than expected!" Then I knew I had to share. TL;DR: Sang duet with cop at red light, had to tell Reddit.

OK, so back when I was 19, I started working with some guys who sold meat door to door. Every morning, we would load a freezer full of these meat packs into the bed of the pickup truck. Long hours, but every day, lunch was at a different bar. I was underage but with enough guys who weren't and we were low key so nobody questioned that I was there. Anyway, myself and another guy started chatting up our waitresses and we agreed to meet up later when their shift ended. We were in the 'burbs, about 40 miles from downtown/home/office. My friend and I got in his car, and started driving towards the bar. we were early, so I asked him to pull into the nearby store so I could buy some cloves. On the way out, he peels out in the parking lot. This catches a cop's attention. He kicks his lights on and pulls us over. Of course he wants licence, registration, proof of insurance while he lectures my coworker about driving recklessly in a parking lot This is where things start to go sideways. The car is not in his name. His explanation sounds shady to me, even. His license is in order, but I think his insurance has expired... The cop calls for backup, and then 3 or 4 more squad cars arrive, the cops pull us out and ask to search our bodies and the car. I protest, (since I'm kind of drunk and underage) but eventually give in. Coworker does the same. There's a sawed off shotgun in the trunk... serials filed off and shorter than AZ laws permit. In the meantime, 3 more squad cars have arrived, including a K9 SUV and I swear to FSM... A helicopter overhead. By this time, my buzz is totally killed and I figure we're mighty fucked; I can't imagine that they would pour this kind of resource into a stop and NOT arrest us. After all that though, one of the cops comes up and says that the shotgun has to be confiscated; but if we promise to get back in the car and get the hell out of his town, that we were free to go. No explanation was offered and we took off before they could change their minds. We didn't even get a ticket for the original offense. TL;DR Fuck the waitresses, I want my freedom.

This was when I was in my early 20's. I didn't have car insurance on my car, except fire and theft, and my sister in law needed a ride to pick up her friend. I had been driving without insurance for two years. Anyway, I thought the guy driving behind me was being a dick driving up my ass with his brights on, so I hit the gas to get away from him and then took my left turn sharply. The car followed right behind me. At the next stop sign I didn't stop but did a u-turn so I can see who was being a douche. It was a cop cruiser, and his flashers came on. They blocked my way and stared, to see if I was gonna try and run I'd imagine. I pointed meekly at the sidewalk where I could park, so they let me while they did their own u-turn and stopped behind me. They took their time to come to the car, and when they did the first thing he asked was for my license/registration and did I have insurance? I have no idea if they know I did or not so I just said, no...just parking insurance..? They asked what I mean, I said fire and theft. He says to step out of the car. They ask me and my sister in law, separately, how we knew each other (probably to make sure she wasn't a hooker), and a whole bunch of other questions including what work did I do (which was stockroom duty/shipping at Zellers). They then tell me to wait there and they went and sat in their cruiser for a looong time. When they come back, he asks me if I know the penalty for driving without insurance was, and I said no. He told me it was between 2000-10000 fine and/or 30 days in jail. I just said, ohh... He then asked me how I was going to get home. I said I dunno...? He said that I wouldn't be allowed to drive the car home. He said he'd let me go with a warning this time, that I shouldn't do it again or they'd charge me to the fullest. Dodged a major bullet there. The next day I took a cab to my car and drove to work, and continued driving uninsured for another year, like the dumbass I was. Tl;dr: I drove without car insurance for two years, got caught, and instead of giving me a $2000-10000 fine and/or 30 days in jail they let me go with a warning.

I agree, and feel like TRM...may or may not get a lot of unnecessary hate on Reddit a lot of the time (not that everyone doesn't, but still). He wears his emotions on his sleeve like a lot of people do, Oce is a good example, and is another of the players either loved of hated on a every other day basis. Being emotional isn't always a bad thing either, and there are people like that in every part of life. NBA fans either else love or hate Kevin Garnett, a very vocal emotional player who is generally liked by everyone on his team...and not so much by his opponents. But he has won a MVP and lead teams to titles regardless. TL;DR Wearing your emotions on your sleeve is alright, I do the ramblings

I kinda of have issue with putting blame on just one party. Yes, I agree 154.37 (repeating, of course) % that Riot should have had booths (or at least some sort of method blocking the minimap). They offer so many positive benefits that its almost a necessity. Hell, given the chance I'd argue this with Carmac, who is against the idea of booths (just look at any IEM). BUT looking behind you is against the rules that Riot set in place before the tournament began. And rules is rules. You don't see guys running up and down a court in basketball not dribbling the ball because it is easier and faster that way. You don't see American Footballers making horse-collar tackles because its a good place to get a grip - and if they do, they get penalized. For those saying riot is just using frost as a fall guy: Redbeard posted this, and might have been skipped over, in the rulings post: "In hindsight, the potential visibility of minimap screens for players was a mistake. Despite on-site referees, close monitoring of player cams backstage, and stage design that ensured players would have to turn more than 90 degrees to be able to catch a glimpse of the minimaps, even the possibility of unfair play was simply unacceptable. We’re taking steps to ensure the minimap screens are not visible to players." tl;dr Riot should have had booths, but at the same time Frost did break the rules

Despite on-site referees, close monitoring of player cams backstage, and stage design that ensured players would have to turn more than 90 degrees to be able to catch a glimpse of the minimaps, even the possibility of unfair play was simply unacceptable. We’re taking steps to ensure the minimap screens are not visible to players." tl;dr Riot should have had booths, but at the same time Frost did break the rules

I kinda of have issue with putting blame on just one party. Yes, I agree 154.37 (repeating, of course) % that Riot should have had booths (or at least some sort of method blocking the minimap). They offer so many positive benefits that its almost a necessity. Hell, given the chance I'd argue this with Carmac, who is against the idea of booths (just look at any IEM). BUT looking behind you is against the rules that Riot set in place before the tournament began. And rules is rules. You don't see guys running up and down a court in basketball not dribbling the ball because it is easier and faster that way. You don't see American Footballers making horse-collar tackles because its a good place to get a grip - and if they do, they get penalized.

I graduated from the University of Colorado, a pretty well known drinking school. Every year it seems they would have graduation earlier and earlier to try and curb pre-graduation drinking. My year, it was at 7am. Needless to say, the bars were open at around 5am. I was able to fit in my fair share of drinking, but there were others who got in an entire days worth in those 2 hours. As we all lined up and funneled into the stadium single file, almost the entire graduating class passed a poor soul who had made it almost the entire way into the stadium only to pass out cold and hit his head on the concrete. When I passed him there were paramedics treating his head wound and he still didn't appear conscious. To this day, I wonder about what happened to that kid and to his parents and extended family. If they were anything like mine, they had flown in from across the country just to see their child walk across that stage. This guys parents would hear their child's name called and be puzzled as to where he was, only to find out later he was in the hospital with a head wound, a hangover, and the collective shame of the entire family. OP, At least you weren't that guy. TL;DR Saw a guy pass out from drinking and hit his head before college graduation. He didn't walk and I am sure it sucked for all involved.

Fuck Gawker and anything related to Gawker. Years ago (before I was on reddit, and I've been reading reddit for 5+ years) I registered an account with Kotaku with my main e-mail address which I was using many years prior - which was spam free. Not long after registering with them I started getting spam, later on I hear they got hacked, did anyone get an apology, nope. Yeah I'm sore about something kinda minor, but whatever, fuck that company for all it's worth. TL;DR: I HATE Gawker

I'm sorry, but I don't submit evidence to child rapists. What I will do, in my infinite generosity, is allow you an attempt to clear your own name - that is, unless you're too busy raping children. What you need to do is post all of your real life information - name, address, recent photograph, et cetera. Additionally, I insist that you provide a detailed history of your Internet usage, so that we can pour over it and see how it definitely includes raping children. We'll then go through your logs, and if you're really clean then we'll leave you alone. Hopefully we'll go through them before someone uses your information to track you down and do something illegal, but that's the risk you took when you decided to literally rape children in the first place. I realize you aren't going to do that, and I know why. While the innocent may have nothing to hide, you're hardly innocent. In fact, the mere fact that you haven't given us what I so reasonably demanded only goes to further prove that you're obviously guilty of raping children. TL;DR: **/u/Lucifielle literally rapes children. Tell your friends.**

First let me say I used to consider myself a feminist until I started seeing so many articles like this one. Now I'm someone who acknowledges that privilege and sexism are real things, but I stay away from the "f-bomb." (Also, for you casual readers, please read my entire comment before you downvote me as a SRS/MRA supporter, 'cause I'm neither.) You're not supporting the article solely with your comment, so I don't think you should be getting quite so downvoted. I read through your recent comment history and you don't seem to be a troll, so here's an honest response more detailed than "it sucks." Because that article is awful awful awful bad bad bad. And his followup was over-the-top insulting. Normally, I would re-read something to give specific quotes and details, but it upsets me way too much to be worth it. If the entire article was a single sentence that said, "Being a straight white male in the US often gives you a lot of privileges, sort of like starting with extra points in character creation in a RPG." It would be totally fine. That's true! It's a true thing to say! It's not speaking in absolutes and it doesn't minimize people's experiences. The actual article, however, does. The article wasn't written to change anyone's mind, but it was framed like it was. Because the premise is one that would be useful to reach out to people who haven't thought much about gender politics or who are more moderate on those issues. It devolved from a decent premise into a "you don't know how hard life *really* is" and started belaboring the point using insular language and making lots of referential nods to existing feminist culture. A lot of people on his blog, on Gawker, and I believe here on Reddit gave him a lot of very level-headed, calm, and surprisingly thorough feedback on why he was off-base and why his article wasn't successful; in other words, they furthered the discussion. His response was no more thought out than "I'm right, you're wrong; my original article was perfect in every way and if you disagree, you're 'mansplaining' and an idiot." That's not the way to spread acceptance of your ideas; that's being a ideologue. It's essentially screaming at people, and then plugging your ears. That's not what feminism should be about; that's just a religion. **TL;DR** He acts insular and condescending to SWM, rather than reaching out to them. It's a biased article and he acts like it isn't. Those who agree with it already agreed with him; it contributed nothing to the conversation except insults.

I am autistic and made it through boot camp and was on a ship. I participated in a deployment to the Persian Gulf. I've been accused of sexual harassment (and later exonerated from lack of evidence because I had several witnesses who found out the accuser was lying and trying to get me in trouble; I never found out what her issue was). However, I wasn't skinny in the Navy, but otherwise I sound like you in a way back when I was in. I was fine. **tl:dr;** you'll be fine.

From a chemical standpoint, it has to do with the incorporation of fat and liquids in your final product. Cookie dough is an emulsion - a mixture of two compounds (fat and water) that can't usually bond. Emulsions are fragile by nature, and prone to breaking. Keeping cookie dough too long at room temperature, over handling while shaping - these are things that will "break" your emulsion, and cause the fat to separate into the oily substance you sometimes find in flat cookies. Chilling your dough before forming and before baking, and any time that it begins to get overwarm, helps to keep the dough intact. The greatest benefit, however, is during baking itself. Cookie recipes are often chemically leavened - with baking powder or baking soda. And cookie recipes often contain butter. Butter is itself an emulsion, being composed of several parts fat (about 80% in the states) and water (along with small quantities of sugar and protein). When butter is heated in a mixture like cookie dough, one of two things may happen: The emulsion may break, and the fat begin to leak, OR the water may turn to steam, creating small pockets of water vapor that act as barriers to fat and help the product to rise. Bringing your dough rapidly from chilled to oven temperature allows water to steam before the fat melts, keeping your cookie in one happy, homogeneous package - instead of spread onto your baking sheet. TL;DR: Fat and water don't bond.

Well, I suppose you are getting great color reproduction and screen response time but... DAT RESOLUTION. CRTs (typically) don't go higher than 480p, or 640x480, which is ~307,000 pixels, while 1080p is 1920x1080 which is 2,073,600 pixels. 1080p is 6.75 as many pixels at 480p. You can get 1080p monitors for, on the low end, about [$120]( That's the 22" stuff, nice 23" are about $150. I'm a big fan of the [VH236H]( which has HDMI, 2ms response time and currently is going for $140. tl:dr; You're a monster for taking 3 seconds to write that note, Mr. or Ms. atrocious penmanship.

Yes! Emiliah is a nickname I have in my family, but my birth name is Emily. You have no true name. When you were born, you took one look around at the poverty and despair you were going to be raised into, and said, "Fuck this shit." Alas, you were too young to actually say anything that made sense, and instead let out an inhumane wail that portrayed your feelings of the hell you weren't ready to witness. Your birth parents called you by a name they chose. However, you would cry out in fear and anger whenever they spoke it. Fear because you were afraid to become attached to the name (and, in turn, the home you were being raised in). Anger, due to the fact that you were upset at your parents for keeping you in a hell-hole such as this. When you were old enough to move on your own (even before you started to crawl), you just rolled out of the door. You rolled and rolled and rolled until you reached the shores. You learned to crawl and eventually walk little by little. You taught yourself to speak. You taught yourself how to cook without basic necessities, and you were amazing at it. You could make a clam chowder by simply using the things you found on the beach. Bread made out of sand. Steamed fish with moss and grass clippings. Yet you still managed to make it taste wonderful. You were saddened by the fact that no one else was witnessing your wonders. One day, a ship appeared and you saw your ticket out. You offered to work for free, just to get a ride. Anything, you said. They asked you what you were good at. Cooking, you answered. They asked to see your credentials. You didn't have any, you told them. A food handlers card, perhaps? No, not that either. You then became the 823rd dishwasher to work on that ship. Right? TL;DR: I know more about your life than you do.

Alas, you were too young to actually say anything that made sense, and instead let out an inhumane wail that portrayed your feelings of the hell you weren't ready to witness. Your birth parents called you by a name they chose. However, you would cry out in fear and anger whenever they spoke it. Fear because you were afraid to become attached to the name (and, in turn, the home you were being raised in). Anger, due to the fact that you were upset at your parents for keeping you in a hell-hole such as this. When you were old enough to move on your own (even before you started to crawl), you just rolled out of the door. You rolled and rolled and rolled until you reached the shores. You learned to crawl and eventually walk little by little. You taught yourself to speak. You taught yourself how to cook without basic necessities, and you were amazing at it. You could make a clam chowder by simply using the things you found on the beach. Bread made out of sand. Steamed fish with moss and grass clippings. Yet you still managed to make it taste wonderful. You were saddened by the fact that no one else was witnessing your wonders. One day, a ship appeared and you saw your ticket out. You offered to work for free, just to get a ride. Anything, you said. They asked you what you were good at. Cooking, you answered. They asked to see your credentials. You didn't have any, you told them. A food handlers card, perhaps? No, not that either. You then became the 823rd dishwasher to work on that ship. Right? TL;DR: I know more about your life than you do.

This thread is a perfect example of people, while well-meaning, do not know the most basic things. If you're serious, use google and your brain. Numbers such as 8, 16, 32, 44.1, 48, 96, and 192 should be automatic. These are the parameters that define modern musical output/consumption. Your 32-bit float sounds better than a 180 kbps mp3? That's obvious, if you know the fundamental concepts and terminology. Tldr: Learning is good.

Upsampling effectively does nothing. It just adds more samples between the already recorded samples. This shouldn't change the sound at all. Raising the bit rate just adds more zeros at to the sample but doesn't change the value. Downsampling is different. Let's say you record in 24bit/48k and you want to bounce a 16bit/44.1k CD mix. In some DAWs (Pro Tools for example) bouncing just truncates the bits and throws away samples based on some sort of algorithm. This causes a problem. Truncating bits creates what is called "quantization error" which in turn adds some nasty little noise to the mix. This raises the noise floor and effectively reduces the dynamic range of the mix even further than just recording in 16bit. To get around the quantization error, you must apply dither. Dither is noise but is "good" noise, it is very quiet and can be manipulated through psychoacoustic equalization or some other form of EQ to sound even quieter. Dither cancels out the harsh noise from quantization error and recreates a lot of the missing dynamic range. Dither lies at -90dB or lower btw, most people don't even hear it. If OP sees this, I think this may be your issue. Quantization error noise can really tear up a mix. If you are bouncing at a bit rate lower than you recorded, apply some dither. Put it on the stereo mix bus and DO NOT apply any gain modification after dither, make sure all automation and level adjustments occur before the dither. TL;DR: upsampling does nothing, downsampling creates quantization error. Also, DITHER RULES! I suggest reading about it in the Izotope Ozone manual. Those guys have awesome manuals.

You bastards are all lucky. I live in Jacksonville Florida. Needless to say I'm in the shit swamps of the continent. No doubt that when shit hits the fan, the government is going to go batshit insane over this. There are about way too many military bases and forts so military can be knocking at my house putting hot lead in my head faster than I can stand up and say, "hey military lets talk this shit out." I do have an ungodly amount of gun toting, drunk rednecks and lead spraying gangs out here to take care of initial shit, but that just means I have to deal with trigger humping psychopaths. It also floods like a bitch over here. My initial plan is to haul my ass back to Colorado and join up with my old friends. We were ready for this shit in Colorado since its perfect. Isolated mountains, wide open ranges, fresh air and wild life. You need to get your ass somewhere quick, well in Colorado, all you have to do is grab a jeep or something and burn rubber....in whatever direction you feel like. Colorado is open enough to get just about anywhere on anything. Florida? Pfft, i hope God gave you access to life's console commands and you can noclip yourself out of that shit hole. The only way to get yourself anywhere is to take bridges. You wanna go off road and tell traffic to screw itself? Yeah good luck, say hi to crocky for me when you drive yourself into the river. The government will no doubt also blow up those bridges, so my situation is that I have drive my self out if there instantly. No time to stop, those crazy fuckers are probably at the bridge saying, "oh don't worry everything is alright. Just trust our first black president and admire that winning smile of his, we have this under control." As soon as I loot those gun stores and jack some cars of gas then it's straight towards the Rockies. I mean you kick mud in that direction forest gump style until your their. Don't stop to eat at any store. Don't sleep at any apartment. Park cars at discrete locations. Loot only empty, small convenience stores and gun shops. And for the sake of common fucking sense, don't fuck any one that you just met, they might be infected or may have aids. You don't want to have an immunity system killing virus when the flu is around. tl;dr Become a mountain man, NOW!

One of my mother in law's friends was helping out at a shower my husband's parents threw for our wedding this past summer. Since it was geared towards their friends and family, a lot of them didn't know me or my family history (my mother died when I was 13 years old). This woman pulled me aside during the shower to exclaim "Everyone keeps asking me if I'm your mother! I just keep saying 'I'm not old enough to be HER mother!!' HAHAHAHAHA." I am six years younger than my husband, and this woman is the same age as my mother in law, who was almost ten years older than my actual mother. She was telling me that she somehow thinks that she is TOO YOUNG to be my mom, so essentially telling me that I look old at my wedding shower. Fuck you, lady. Seriously, fuck you. TL;DR - Friend of my mother in law told me I looked old at my own wedding shower.

I've been struggling with anorexia and bulimia for the past two years. When I was at my smallest, (around seventy pounds) I was constantly complimented, asked about my diet, inquired as to why I wasn't a model, and so on. I recovered over the summer, got up to ninety-five pounds, and when I got back to school one of my male friends mentioned offhandedly that I looked plump today. To a non-disordered mind, you'd probably brush this off with a little hurt feeling and self-consciousness. I kept my hands wrapped around my torso the rest of the day and hid in the bathroom stalls crying. **TL;DR: Having an eating disorder transforms any intelligent, logical mind into a self-obsessed spiral of irrational thinking.**

"You would be pretty if you didn't have all that acne." Although I realized when I was older that it likely was intentional. She was constantly criticizing me, likely to feel better about herself. She did while acting as though she was my 'friend.' that was the most hurtful thing she said though. I cried that night. TL;DR Middle School sucked.

Went home for the Thailand's military draft at 21. They made us all take off our shirts and sit in lines according to our village ( only some villages get chosen ). A MP was walking up and down the lines when he saw the city boy next to me still wearing his shirt. MP "Hey! Take off your shirt!" Boy "But I'm shy" MP "Shy!? Look at that fat foreigner! He's not shy!" TLDR: I'm half Thai and didn't get drafted due to my belly. Hurra for ma belly!

Something similar happened to me: I'm in my final year of a 3 year degree, but it's my 5th year doing it. I rarely attended lectures in 1st year and felt like I'd look stupid if I turned up after missing 5/30 lectures already, so why not miss the next 25 too. Scraped through that year. Failed 2nd year because my approach didn't change but the tests got harder. Took a year off and now I'm in 3rd year, haven't missed a single lecture and on top of things. All you need to do is start attending your classes and check your college emails every morning. Once you start doing that you'll start catching up on the material and you'll generally have a week or two before exams to go over the stuff you missed. Tl;dr ATTEND CLASSES

First off: I'm german. Born here, live here and will stay here (although reading such news makes me wanna leave immediately, but that's a different story). Those (Turks, or enter any other nationality here) you are talking about are pointing it out in every spare second they got. It's them who put so much emphasism on their descent, and we respect that. For myself, I really couldn't care less where anybody is from. But if you are proud of where you're from good for you, I'll let you have it. I really really really don't give a single fuck. So your skin is darker than mine? So what? Does that make you any different? No? Then why point it out? tl;dr: It's a pretty common thing that "nationalitys" beeing pointed out. I don't like it myself, but it's what most other nationalitys (living in germany) demand.

There's nothing wrong with being turned off by some ideas; everyone has their limits. But you must realize that the scenes in porn create unrealistic expectations. They're a dramatization and nothing like most people's experiences. Even people's personal stories are often embellished to make them appear more interesting than the actual truth. Stop watching that stuff. It's doing nothing to help you. If you must consume erotic media (man's gotta *eat*), try tasteful art for a change. When you meet a girl whose company you enjoy and for whom you care, your feelings for her won't just go away when you get into bed. In fact, these feelings are often required for some people to feel comfortable enough to open up both literally and figuratively. I think the reason you are having a hard time reconciling your feelings is because your ideas about sex are separate from your ideas of friendship when they are in fact very closely related. My personal definition of romantic love is friendship plus mutual attraction. tl;dr - Focus on forming real friendships with people and let nature take it course.

I'm going to disagree here. I think Moffat has run the show in a great direction since being made showrunner. The problem with bringing RTD back is that he was, in my opinion, a much better showrunner than a writer. His direction on keeping the show a certain way with episodes not written by himself is what made him good at what he did. However, I think that not only is Moffat a much better writer than RTD but he also a better showrunner. During the RTD era there were many high points and great episodes (Dalek, Blink, Midnight, Etc.) but along with those there were some godawful terrible episodes (Slitheen two parter, Daleks in Manhattan two parter, Fear Her, etc.). The difference between these were staggering and you almost didn't know what you were getting from week to week. With Moffat's era there isn't a huge discrepancy from the high points to the low points. The worst of the episodes in Moffats era (Curse of the Black Spot, Night Terrors, etc.) are leaps and bounds better than the worst episodes of the RTD era. I'll even go as far as to say I think that the better episodes of Moffat's era are better than the better episodes of RTD's as well. I'll agree with The_Evil_Within in that RTD is a huge fan of the Deux Ex Machina. I'll also agree that even though I love the direction Moffat has taken the show and think he's doing a great job, I think he's a better writer than a showrunner if I had to pick him to do just one job. TL:DR- I disagree, I think not only was Moffat a better writer but also a better showrunner than RTD.

I'm going to disagree here. I think Moffat has run the show in a great direction since being made showrunner. The problem with bringing RTD back is that he was, in my opinion, a much better showrunner than a writer. His direction on keeping the show a certain way with episodes not written by himself is what made him good at what he did. However, I think that not only is Moffat a much better writer than RTD but he also a better showrunner.

The show could be dramatically improved, and this is a flaw of both RTD and Moffar, by doing one simple thing. LET PEOPLE STAY DEAD. No magic wave of the sonic, no half-regenerations, no 'wishing back to life'. STAY DEAD. We as fans also have to accept this, it may be hard and difficult but it is *more narratively interesting*. I don't watch the Doctor to see what magic he is going to pull out of his ass this week but I do watch it to see this impossible man face impossible odds and how he fights them, sometimes his luck simply has to run out. This is a symptom of many of the so-so episodes. The Doctor is brilliant and powerful in his own way but he is not a god. I know I just said be willing to kill and have people stay dead but bring back the Time Lords or someone who is on an equal peg to him. It has gotten to a point where it is hard to even understand how a whole civilization of Time Lords got beat off the Daleks who simply are not all that good in New Who, despite all the fancy new powers. It should also be the job of the show runner to not let the 'stars' dictate their character. Gillian and Darvill chose to leave, it was not because of the necessity of the plot but rather the plot was written because of it. This is wrong. I know you can't go around hiring a new companion every five minutes but pick a plot and stick with it. If they happen to die in the course of that great but make sure you have the contracts that it is not a forced decision. Lastly, and least likely, we need WAY less press. I remember when the first torrent hit ahead of the first episode airing and the buzz that episode gathered it was like a fire had been ignited in our minds and we were all trying to work out what was going on. Now the show is so popular it is practically impossible to avoid spoilers even in the ordinary press to what is going on. I don't want to know it is Karen Gillan's last episode because THAT IS THE NARRATIVE HIGH OF THE EPISODE. If you you are not going to do something completely out of left field then don't tell us the main plot point before the episode airs. tl;dr A show runner should: Be willing to kill, know how to keep a secret and be telling the best story possible, regardless of where it takes them.

Hey Audiofreq, I'm a pretty big fan of yours ever since I heard 3 empty heads and i was wondering have you tried experimenting with any other type of music? For example I think you should take a try at Makina (Japanese & Spanish), it has similar tempo and melodies with hard repetitive kicks, much like what your use to producing but with less in studio vocals and more samples and a touch more "happiness" If you you or anyone else wants a good example of Makina here are some albums from M-Project Underground Makina Connectionz Volume.10 Underground Makina Connectionz Volume.9 Makina Exclamation Tldr: Try Makina (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

True story: Raiding back in wotlk, (Naxx 25), and before we pull the 2nd boss in Plague quarter our holy priest says 'Can you guys wait 2-4 minutes', Our leader asked him why, and his response was 'Bit of confusion at the next platform and I want to pay attention. Shouldn't take too long'. It was at that moment we understood why he couldn't use teamspeak. TL;DR: Our priest healer in wotlk was a Train driver.

Atheists don't mock Buddhists....nice strawman dumbass Atheist is a non word for lack of a real definition. If you don't believe in UFOs, is there a term for that? Since Atheists don't believe in the foolish religions of Abraham, there really shouldn't be any word for them except "rational." Atheists don't believe in anything with faith. It is pure logic, reason, and science. period. They can prove everything so far, which christians and muslims never will be able to without lies and ignoring everything that proves them totally wrong. **tl/dr, it's not silly if you can prove it**

I like the idea that he's getting rid of his former self that is a player. How he hints about the broken hearts in the trunk(yes, I also understand the 'bleeding' is a double entendre for the speakers in his possible trunk). I think he's just 'swimming' away from his former self, 'Lonny' Breux, and becoming Frank Ocean, which is where the ocean and swimming reference comes in. **TL;DR** He references his former ways, rather than his fame/music

I suppose there is plenty of truth in what you say. I don't want to simply argue for no reason. But I feel that sharing similar values is a pretty big deal. An atheist might not gel as well with a devout catholic even if they have excellent chemistry. I think there are details that you really really really miss here. In the long term, there is more than just chemistry. The new car smell in the relationship fades, and then you see truths you didn't see before. Ignoring those flaws will make for a bad bad relationship, no matter what kind it is. I've experienced this myself and seen it before. I agree that chemistry is super important, but sharing many values makes a huge difference in the long run. I think that plenty of the answers you find in okcupid eventually start to paint a picture that makes those percentages of more than zero value. I want to really send this message home, two people can fall in love and even stick together for 3-9 months with great chemistry. But is that the goal? For many, absolutely, but then why bother with okcupid at all? Why not just find someone you can tolerate at a bar or plentyoffish? I think many on okcupid aren't looking for a fling or some sort of short term thing. I think they really want something like marriage or someone to spend their life with and have kids with and so on. Many relationships end when, if they looked at their personal values and compared, they may not have wanted to start the relationship at all. **TL;DR Goals, dreams and personal values are pretty critical components of a relationship.**

There is no way you can put 500k into one penny stock and expect to sell all your shares in one day. Highly unlikely that any penny stock would have the volume to support that kind of influx. ie:500k into a stock worth $.004 would be 125 million shares. Your purchase alone would jump the stock up in price and everyone else would cash out (think when warren buffet invested 5 billion into BofA) and if the 10 day avg volume was around 10-20 million, it would take a minute to cash out yourself. TL;DR mathematically feasible but very unlikely putting 500k into a penny stock would work in your favor

tbh, I haven't seen one change the guys done that I've liked. While pulsefire might not've been his fault I didn't like it and I was gosh darn lucky to have the rp saved for months waiting for pfe to come out and they had him half price, it was cool when I got it but tbh it's like my other 5 legendaries they're really cool and I don't regret buying them but tbh pfe wasn't worth 3k rp for, 1860 rp is where he should've gone. Kog' Maw's been out for 2 years now same with anivia and corki. Kog'maw should've been 3150 ip alongside corki. Anivia is a high skill champ then put her down to 4800 ip so super newbie's don't just get her and get destroyed. I mean reducing the rp costs by less than a dollar on champions that have been out SINCE BETA! I could see if this was a champ released early this year, but...beta champs? champs we can get the digital pack for 30 bucks as a newbie and get about 45 bucks worth of champs for plus 2 skins? This guy apperently doesn't know his crap if he's experimenting with prices. You go by history, and history has shown that nobody gives a hoodah about the spread of what you get in a champ bundle, kha'zix's bundle is the same price...fine but tbh, that skin is no more different any recent 975 skin, sure it has new models and crap but so does jayce he has 2 models, udyr has 4! their skins are still 975! and people don't generally buy champs with rp unless it's the bundle or if it's on sale...yes preadopters are good they've always sold many a bundle on release I've bought a good many of them, but I don't wanna see the new guys face that gets to play this kha' zix guy on a free week 2 weeks after his bundle is gone and say "wait why does his skin cost more than the one that has the same level of detail on other champions" ppl just won't buy it and you lose people's interest in your product. It's probably why black ops 2's elite is gonna be free, NOBODY CARED TO BUY IT LAST TIME. tl:dr - this ecommerce guy is a joke imho and he needs to stop experimenting and look at history not just his experiments.

You go by history, and history has shown that nobody gives a hoodah about the spread of what you get in a champ bundle, kha'zix's bundle is the same price...fine but tbh, that skin is no more different any recent 975 skin, sure it has new models and crap but so does jayce he has 2 models, udyr has 4! their skins are still 975! and people don't generally buy champs with rp unless it's the bundle or if it's on sale...yes preadopters are good they've always sold many a bundle on release I've bought a good many of them, but I don't wanna see the new guys face that gets to play this kha' zix guy on a free week 2 weeks after his bundle is gone and say "wait why does his skin cost more than the one that has the same level of detail on other champions" ppl just won't buy it and you lose people's interest in your product. It's probably why black ops 2's elite is gonna be free, NOBODY CARED TO BUY IT LAST TIME.

this ecommerce guy is a joke imho and he needs to stop experimenting and look at history not just his experiments.

>Please point me to which provision removed regulation on credit default swaps, which would have prevented the crisis. First, are you really arguing that deregulation of derivatives didnt play a role in the crisis? And um, credit default swaps caused the crisis? Do you even know what a credit default swap is? Its almost like youre just throwing words together in an attempt to arrive at a coherent sounding argument. Because it should be obvious that credit defaults swaps didnt cause the crisis, just by the definition of the term. Credit default swaps are what sank AIG. But they didnt cause the crisis. A credit default swap is essentially insurance on a financial security. If the issuer of the bond thats insured defaults, you get paid by the agency that you insured it with (probably AIG). CDS's didnt cause the crisis. I mean, just ask yourself, *why* did the insured securities default in the first place?? *That,* the reason why the default happened, is what caused the crisis. And the failure to regulate derivatives *directly* ties in with CDS. In the derivative market, where people are making bets on the value of a MBS without actually owning it, any number of people can take out a credit default swap on an MBS. Its like your neighbor taking insurance out on your house and then burning it down. There was no regulation there when common sense overwhelmingly indicated that there should be. >Blah, blah, blah. This isn't why people in my town bought multiple condos for $400,000 a piece, when they could only rent then out for $15,000/yr. Anybody settling for a <4% yield (especially when risk-free 10yr treasuries were offering close to 5%) is asking for disaster. This is just bullshit. Of course in your mind the crisis was just driven by poor people that took out mortgages they shouldnt have. In reality Gramm Leach Bliley ended the separation between investment and commercial banking. Your local bank could give you a mortgage, package it together with others, and sell it off. It ended really any correlation between the quality of the mortgage and the amount of money the bank issuing it made. You can say an individual shouldnt have taken out that mortgage, but basic economic theory should tell you that if banks make it easier to get mortgages, more people will take out mortgages. Pretending that the repeal of glass steagal didnt enable the root cause of the crisis is just naive. >Bush didn't hold a gun to their head and force them to sign their mortgages. Obviously not. But you're basically acting like housing policy and financial regulation had nothing to do with the crisis, and thats just wrong. Just because bush didnt hold a gun to someones head and make them take out a mortgages doesnt mean his policies and the policies of his party didnt cause it. >Without this, it's impossible for any of the other shit to have happened. Remember, cause, not symptom. You should really be telling yourself that, Mr. Credit-Default-Swaps-Cause-the-Crisis. Exactly what do you think I've got backwards? >The number of regulators at the SEC grew substantially under Bush. I can't find the chart now. Will look for it. I dont know the number youre referring to, you could be right considering government employment surged under bush. but thats not my argument. Sure there might have been more regulators, they just werent doing their job. And thats exactly what i said. >Sure, it doesn't help when the Democrat spawned agencies continue to create a market for subprime mortgages by buying them on the secondary market. Maybe it wasn't a huge amount, but still encouraged banks to continue to make risky loans. How did they make the market more risky when [default rates on fannie and freddie mortages were between 4 - 5.5 percent at their worst,]( while [default rates on mortgages issued by commercial banks reached more than 11%?]( This one is really important, it goes directly to your point that fannie and freddie (and the community reinvestment act that concerned them) made the market more risky. [Loans by banks regulated by the CRA had lower default rates]( Furthermore, [the vast majority of loans issued during the crisis were issued by private banks]( So no, fannie and freddie and the CRA did not increase risk. In fact their default rates pretty conclusively prove that they were some of the safest institutions in the market. >The recovery is meager at best. Look at how much cash corporations are sitting on. The recovery is dependent on deleveraging. It could all have happened at once, or gradually. Maybe the stimulus helped soften the fall. But it's a natural cycle, that had to take its course either way. Speaking of deleveraging, this is another place where obama has overseen a [tremendous recovery.]( How exactly is this recovery meager at best?? Private employment and GDP are both growing at the same pace they grew during the recovery in bush's first term. Corporate profits are at record highs. The dow has doubled. Manufacturing hasnt grown this much in decades. And even if it has been meager, which it hasnt, the american jobs act would have created 1.4 million jobs and your party blocked it! Not to mention all of the austerity and layoffs at the state level decreasing aggregate demand and increasing unemployment Its quite obvious that you've reached your own conclusion about how you think the world works without first looking at the facts. Usually people, at least smart people, look at the facts and then make their opinions based on those facts. But you, not you. You've obviously made your decision based on your inherent biases. And then you went out and tried to find data that backs up your bias, and ignored any data that contradicted it. **TL;DR** You dont seem to know what a credit default swap is. Refusal to regulate derivatives along with the repeal of glass steagal both played significant roles in the crisis. Fannie and freddie were among the safest institutions in the market. The recovery has actually been fairly robust, and the reason its not stronger is mostly because of republicans in congress and in state and local legislatures.

Yeah, stupid story is stupid. I didn't bother with the second or third pages (I know, I'm lazy), but I would be surprised if the article ever noted the fact that human saliva tends to kill very nearly all of that stuff. As I understand it, human saliva should kill *all* of that stuff, such that NFL players' ailments due to mouthpiece goo is probably no more frequent than the average person's ailments due to chewing on a pen or not washing one's hands often enough. Add to this the fact that NFL players are often taking vitamins and supplements at a much higher rate than the average person, and the actual incidents of ailment as a result of a soiled mouthpiece are most likely much less than those in the general population. --- **tl;dr:** If I don't get sick from chewing on my pen, after having scratched my ass or balls with my writing hand a few times, then probably NFL players will be just fine. Saliva kills shit.

sure! took a photograph of my face, and then another in the same position with my hands covering the face. selected the hands and isolated them from the rest. altered the contrast, saturation, and what have you. imported said hands into the image with the face, and used the photoshop effect "overlay" to combine the two images. then tooled around with the levels and everything til it looked how i wanted. **tl;dr:** photoshop magic.

Long-term CM player here.. started out playing CM 92-93 on the Amiga, CM Italia 93-94 on the Atari.. then 96-97, 97-98, 01-02 before eventually moving onto FM 05, 06, 08 &amp; 10. I haven't played any others since then but have put a fair amount of hours into FM10.. probably more than is healthy. Anyway, I digress as this post isn't about that. I went back to play 97-98 recently purely for nostalgic reasons and it was so simple. Very simple. Three subs on the bench in the Scottish league and one of those had to be a keeper. Hah, changed days! What I missed most from that is being involved with the running of the club. I love being able to take charge of training sessions, get board requests, send the scouts to foreign countries, develop youth players and everything else that 10 did. What I hate most about it is the press conferences. No, I like them... but what I actually hate is that you say one thing or even if you don't comment on it, and it picks that up as the main story which in turn upsets the entire squad or a player that goes in the huff. I sincerely hope that this has been fixed for '13. What I'm really looking forward to is the challenges. The ones where you're bottom of the table at Christmas and have to save the club from relegation. This has the potential to be an excellent feature and I sincerely hope that it is. TL;DR - I ramble my previous experiences with FM and I'm looking for updates for how good/in-depth this version is to know whether I want to get involved with another FM campaign.

I agree with Khael8. That being said, I might recommend something other than a game design degree. If you're interested in the programming side (as it seems you are), I would suggest Computer Science or Software Engineering. Not as a side lesson like it would be for a game design degree, but as a full on course of study. There are a couple reasons for that. First, if you pick a game design degree, there's a good chance you're going to be stuck, and if you ever change your mind about your career down the line, you're out of luck. With CS or SE you're a lot more marketable and you'll have more flexibility when it comes to your career. Next, you'll learn more programming doing this than a game design degree. And if you want to work for a developer, the usual jack of all trades type person isn't always what they want. Many developers want someone who is VERY good at a specific thing. They want their artists to be great artists, their audio guys to be great with audio, and they want their programmers to be great programmers. *Normally* they don't need their programmers being great with sound and graphics, just the programming behind the implementations. This way, you'll be great at programming and along the way you can pick up the tools that artists use and learn those so you're at least familiar with them should you need to use it by yourself. TL;DR: I recommend CS or SE as more suitable degrees. Also, get an internship.

I can't say that I have tried the 5pc bonus. But I will have to say unless you drop a LOT of cash you can get much better or comparable rares. The issue is that very little of the set is absolute endgame. Helm I would rather have a crit mempo. Boots firewalkers can roll better and ice climbers blow them out of the water. I do keep the belt chest and gloves( with ar) because I end up having some 16% melee reduction. TL;DR - Too expensive for gear that can be beat quite handily.

Too expensive for gear that can be beat quite handily.

There seems to be a lot of misinformation in this thread about dry ice, so I'll try to clear some things up: Dry ice is frozen CO2. When warmed up, CO2 'sublimates' from a solid straight to the gas we breathe every day. When placed in water, dry ice warms up very fast. So fast, that the sublimating CO2 forms bubbles of very cold CO2 gas in the water. When these bubbles reach the surface and the cold CO2 gas is released, it cools down the air around it causing water to condense into a fine mist. It is the condensed water vapor mist that is visible, and that the OP would like to use to visualize air flow. (independent source: Now then, would this work? Sort of. If you pass a small trail of mist into the case, you can see where the air is going based on how the mist moves through the case. It won't work very well however, because the mist needs to remain visible to do its job. First problem: case fans create a lot of turbulence. They'll chop up any stream of mist that travels through them pretty good, and blow it around on the other side. The second problem: air inside of a computer heats up. Remember that the mist stream was created by by cooling down water vapor in the air. Now, as that mist passes through the CPU or GPU, it gets heated back up and the mist goes away. Tl;dr: If you're lucky, you'll get a rough until the heat syncs. Second question: would it damage the hardware? In moderation, probably not. Water is not inherently bad for electronics. Pure water is a very poor conductor, and it's usually the salts and other dissolved minerals in water that damage electronics. Since most of the water in your dry-ice produced mist came from the air, it's relatively pure. There also isn't much of it: again, most of it came out of the air and there isn't much water vapor in the air to begin with. (Very little water comes from the dry ice's water supply because cold water doesn't evaporate well. The water level will drop because the ice sublimated.) Some of the water will condense inside of the case, but for a short time not enough that it should cause major problems. I say probably because computers can handle humidity pretty well, but don't expect the warranty to cover you if something goes wrong.

Hi. I'm the chick in the video and I'd like to comment on this. I have size G Boobs. I am not pandering here, if any shirt has the slightest of a V neck it'll plunge and look like massive cleavage. A lot of people may find that I am pandering, but after years of hating my body, the size of my breasts and crying over how "Nothing fits (at an affordable cost)" I decided to just get over it. None of my shirts properly button up. The top button is not my friend. (read: it never closes) This is something I have to deal with. I'm currently a graduate student working on my thesis looking at sexual harassment on the XBLN, gamer girl identity and gender negotiation. I have to battle being sexually objectified due to my breast size with my peers &amp; with my professors. For instance: I'll never forget when I first came into my program a lot of the students were unsure where they wanted to take their research. I know where my research is heading towards and how I'm collecting my data, etc. I went to talk to one professor because he is well versed within media literacy and thought he'd be a great help. Instead of listening to anything I was trying to tell him, he starred at my tits the whole time, interrupting me and making me feel humiliated. I wasn't a person to him in that moment, but a sex object. I felt myself getting frustrated. Red in the face. Angry. Finally without even looking me at the face he asked if I had any questions. Licked his lips. Disgusting. I just wanted to get out of there. I said no, and as I was turning to leave, he had the nerve to touch me. Place his hand on my shoulder. It would have seen innocent enough he hadn't spent the last 20 minutes starring at my chest. Anecdote aside, I find it funny and sad how men &amp; women try to police each other's bodies, clothing types, hair choices, or ways of speaking. Your comment makes wonder if you think the purpose of this video is for the male gaze? For the male audience and is that based solely on my body type? Are you not, in essence, continuing to sexualize my body due to the prevalence of the male gaze in media? tl;dr: I wasn't pandering, I just have huge tits. This is outside my control.

I live in Phoenix, Arizona. There's a lot that attracts people to the valley. People come here to get away from the cold, but I've always wondered why. A person can continue to put on layers and layers of clothes to get warm. However, there are only so many layers of clothes you can take off to cool down though. I would not recommend peeling layers of skin off. Someone once told me I didn't understand, because I've never had to scrape ice off of a car windshield. I have never had to do that, but I have physically injured myself getting into my car in the summer. The door handle is hot, the seats are like fire, and the metal part of the seat belt will literally blister your fingers, or god forbid it touches some mid-drift. Also, there is a complete lack of character in the greater valley's architecture. All the homes are stucco, and they are all the same color. We literally have cookie cutter neighborhoods. All the homes in these very common neighborhoods are EXACTLY the same except a slight difference in shades for the exterior paint. Out Downtown is nice, and has character, but during the day, only a few blocks are active, and same during the night. It's great to look out, but it is not where you want to live. This is known, so the only homes there are shacks filled by meth addicts or illegal immigrants. To be fair I will admit that there are the few areas in downtown Phoenix that are upscale, but they are not the norm. Phoenix is also spread out. Walk to the grocery story to pick up a few things? Only if you feel like walking 3 miles/4.8km in 110 degree/ 43 degree (Celsius) weather. Oh, and we're also racists according to everyone else in the nation. If they lived here and understood how much illegal immigration effects us, others would understand. We begged the federal government for help, and they refused. Shit got real and now we all have a bad name. Our education is ranked one of the lowest in the nation. Some could say this is because of the large group of Spanish speaking students, the AIMS, or the teachers. Our winter's are nice for those who have "migrated" south. Adapt to the weather, and all you get is the ability to freeze your ass off, with no snow. Win/Win? Phoenix has two seasons: Summer, and January. No fall colors, no spring flowers. (Ok, maybe we do, but it's very short lived, and as far as the fall colors go, you have to plant trees yourself to see that). If you want to see the colors change, you have to go for a scenic drive or hike up in the northern part of the country. We have horrible care for the mentally ill also. As a matter of fact, if you are mentally ill, you usually get off the hook cause we don't know what else to do with you! There are pros to living here, they just aren't things that you can't find anywhere else. **TL;DR ITS FUCKING HOT OUTSIDE**

Wellington New Zealand. It's cool. I can't stand going anywhere flat having lived in such a hilly place all my life. The city itself is quite piecemeal, with CBD being on a kind of raised platform of terraces (The street is called The Terrace), smooshed into the motorway, and with an old Cemetery full of trees and bushes that has been almost fully developed around, that is very relaxing to walk through. Then there is Lambton Quay, the high end shopping street, which eventually flows into Cuba Mall (named after Cuba - we get a shitload of good Cuban imports here, especially coffee, if you come to Wellington you have to like coffee) which is a Bohemian shopping district, with some of the best clothing shops, and great food and bars. Courtney Place is full of clubs, and is pretty full with drunks most nights. It's probably twenty minutes walk from one side of the city to the other, and when it's sunny the best path to take is along the harbour. There's a big town belt too, lots of MTB tracks, trees and stuff just sprout up from the footpaths, a well trimmed lawn looks very out of place, and the houses are a random assortment of styles that stick out from the green hillsides. Lots of hipsters, lots of businessmen, it's the capital, so loads of politicians. People say its windy, but it's not that bad, and when the sun shines, it really godamn shines. tl;dr I like Wellington a lot

In college, both are extremely useful. I really want a tablet for taking notes in class over my laptop at this point. Specifically for math classes, where typing equations is annoying and drawing graphs is unreasonable. Classes where you are needing to do things such as programming, a laptop would be preferred. TL;DR - as a college student, both would be nice.

I should have guess so. I contacted my president, and he explained to me that he is wary of accepting large donations just like this because we don't know you. He said that you could meet him Wednesday night, but that you declined for other reasons(the trivia game of course!) anyways, I tried to vouch for you, but then I realized that I haven't even actually met you, I just know that we've contacted via reddit a bunch... If you can come by our office tomorrow around 2:10, then I might can do more tl;dr. ...nobody knows who you are, and we have to protect the organization.

I believe it's because they wanted to run with as few scripts as possible. They didn't want to enable downloading for the same reason. Microsoft and Xbox are all about retaining proprietary information. From my understanding, enabling Flash has certain loopholes that would enable attacks on the Xbox 360 itself, and that doesn't sound too appealing. TL;DR, anti-virus, sorta.

This is pretty simple: Accept the gifts. For the things that you consider clutter, don't want, don't need etc. simply store them for one year - when you will receive a whole new set of gifts. Store them in one of those large plastic storage tubs for one year, then when they are replaced with new gifts, donate the old ones to a salvation army or goodwill store. TL;DR: Plastic Storage Tub, contents donated annually

Store them in one of those large plastic storage tubs for one year, then when they are replaced with new gifts, donate the old ones to a salvation army or goodwill store.

Here's proof that you are affected. You're a fucking moron in denial that's why you can't help replying with anger and butthurt indignation. If you truly weren't affected, you would have ignored this entire. **TL;DR:** you're a fucking idiot. lol

Easilt still $70 dollars or over, it's a very limited print run and is now a mythic, this will mean that some demand is met, but with a whole pack dedicated to getting modern staples more relevant, as well as shocks being reprinted, will increase the demand as. Ore people want to get into this 'more accessable' format! Tl;dr - will hit 60-70 then will slowly creep up again, long discussion with an economics grad confirmed this (to me at least)

Your mileage may vary, but generally it's considered bad to mess with your hormones without a doctors guidance. Although possible and also possibly safe, there's still a chance you could do a lot of harm than good - that's the chance you take. I've heard good and bad about it. People achieving the results they wanted or minor effects that were desired with minimal to no bad side effects. I don't know if "bad for your liver" is the right term, rather you're putting more hormones, more "stuff" into your blood and your liver and kidney's have to work harder because they have a certain level programmed into them they want to maintain. That being said, liver or kidney's that work harder are more likely to fail. The only true advice i'd offer is, it's really up to you. If you do decide bone up on the subject, /r/asktransgender has a lot of self medicated posts (posts for both full on transition and minor changes). I'd like to add, there's a lot of non invasive things you could do to help promote more feminine changes. Getting plenty of rest, lots of water, regularly changing sheets and pillow cases more often, moisturizing, etc are all the little things I do and my skin has softened and cleared up quite a bit. I drink a lot of tea, specifically wintergreen tea, helps make my skin not so oily. I mean it still is but it helps, and whether or not it's placebo, i believe the tea helps with it. TL;DR Do what you gotta do to feel happy/content with your self but be sure to read up before you do things that could do more harm than good. /r/asktransgender has a lot more helpful folks on the topic of home supplements for full transitions as well as minor changes. EDIT: Also, I"m pretty certain the directions to take estrogen supplements as directed are geared mainly towards female biochemistry and would not show correct dosage for a male to take.

Jhoppa's point is the main one; just like there can be a HUGE difference in concentration of THC between different plants (genetic engineering aside, lots of things like soil/climate/etc. can influence it), there can be large variation in concentration of mescaline among different cacti. I'd say the amount you have will almost certainly be enough to feel it, and is very unlikely to be too intense...If you've never done mescaline, let me try to describe it. A trip is like a roller-coaster ride, right? It's intense, it's exhilarating, it's fun, but at times can also be scary, depending on specifics about the particular ride (shoddy state fair roller coaster vs. Cedar Point) as well as your mindset going on to it (you're unlikely to enjoy even an awesome roller coaster if you're sick/upset etc.). Just like set and setting for a trip. Now, acid or shrooms are more like...Son of Beast from Kings Island in Ohio; it's the biggest wooden roller-coaster in the world. Which means that, it's intense and really awesome, but it has kind of a rickety feel to it that doesn't leave you feeling completely safe/secure/worry-free the whole time. Mescaline, on the other hand, is the Millenium Force. It takes you higher and faster than almost any other ride, but the whole time you feel completely safe, secure, in control, and are just *loving* it. (DMT, obviously, would be the Top Thrill Dragster =P ) Mescaline just feels so clean and exhilarating and everything is so amazingly beautiful. It's the strongest positive/euphoric "push" I've ever felt from a psychedelic, besides maybe 2C-P (or candyflipping). This is due to mescaline's phenethylamine structure; it is chemically more similar to MDMA or even amphetamine than to tryptamines like psilocybin (acid has structural similarities to both families). In the type of dose you should be getting yourself into, it's an *extremely* functional trip. To give you an example, the first time I met and really got to know my current girlfriend of 2 years (we were neighbors in a dorm, this was the first time we hung out), my roommates and I were all tripping balls on mescaline. I had invited her and her roommate over at our place for dinner (cooked by me) to get to know each other. Now, her and her roommate are these two beautiful girls who we don't know at all and who (we would come to know but suspected) are totally innocent--neither of them had ever even drank or partied, much less smoked weed or done anything else. Anyway, while tripping balls on mescaline, I cooked a dinner for 5 people, we all had awesome conversation (despite being around new people who also happened to be gorgeous--probably would have been weird on acid or shrooms), they had no idea we were on anything and yeah long story short we've been dating for over 2 years based on *that* first impression. That's still one of, if not the most magical day of my life (first mescaline trip). For reference, that was on 40 0.7g capsules (so 28g) of powdered dried Peruvian Torch cactus. Unfortunately, that doesn't give you much help with your San Pedro. tl;dr jesus christ. sorry still on addies, hope this will be of use to you

Not necessarily... Plants are finicky organisms that can't talk and tell you what's wrong. Depending the book you look at and the person you talk to, there are anywhere between something like 13 and 18 essential plant nutrients. Within the plant, nutrients can be either mobile or non-mobile. Nitrogen is a mobile plant element, being used in amino acid biosynthesis and essential to the chlorophyll molecule. Magnesium is also a critical element in chlorophyll. These both are mobile. When the plant is lacking mobile nutrients, they take them from the older tissues and put them where they are needed. On the other hand, the non-mobile nutrients show signs in the new growth, as the plant cannot move these elements around. Many elements become bound in cell membranes, and cannot be transported. Many times when lots of leaf tips are burnt, this could also be a nutrient toxicity, too hot of fertilizer, or too much fertilizer. It is always a good idea to consult a deficiency manual or guide to help diagnose a particular issue. A lot of the time though, pH is the number one thing that is off that causes deficiencies. Unfortunately, a lot of the time when you want an answer for a cause in plant sciences, you get a 'Well, it depends...' and it does, on many variables. tl;dr It all depends.

I'm fairly certain I understood your point correctly: keeping gay men out of the BSA is doing nothing to protect the scouts since they're apparently still being molested. Therefore it's stupid to assume the gay men are the cause of the molestation. Please correct me if I am wrong. If I understand you correctly, I whole-heartedly agree. I just want to add: I know it's not intuitive, but the majority of child molesters, even those who target boys, are not gay. (I say it's not intuitive because the boys are still male, not because I think all gay men like little boys. Sources disagree on why they target boys, but many experts agree its simply because of ease-of-access.) I did a paper that included this subject in school and I read a few studies that all pretty much agreed that gay men are less likely to molest children than straight men. The numbers are about .5% to 2% of child molesters are homosexual, and while the numbers differ depending on who you ask, roughly 2% to 10% of Americans identify as gay. This means that your child is either less likely or just as likely to get diddled by a gay scout leader as he is a straight scout leader. But he is definitely not *more* likely to get molested by a gay scout leader. Tl;dr: So yeah, gay men, according to statistics, should totally be allowed to be scout leaders.

Boy Scouts really fucked up. That said, I believe that their biggest mistake was not training their leaders on mandated reporting in IL. See my email below to my family members who are active scout leaders: So, through my job and internship it has come to my attention that any recreational personnel that work with children are MANDATED REPORTERS. Per the IL DCFS website at WHO ARE MANDATED REPORTERS? Members of the general public may report suspected child abuse and neglect if they choose. However, state law mandates that workers in certain professions must make reports if they have reasonable cause to suspect abuse or neglect. Mandated reporters include: Medical Personnel: Physicians, psychiatrists, surgeons, residents, interns, dentists, dentist hygienists, medical examiners, pathologists, osteopaths, coroners, Christian Science practitioners, chiropractors, podiatrists, registered and licensed practical nurses, emergency medical technicians, substance abuse treatment personnel, hospital administrators and other personnel involved in the examination, care or treatment of patients. School and Child Care Personnel: Teachers, school personnel, educational advocates assigned to a child pursuant to the School Code, truant officers, directors and staff assistants of day care centers and nursery schools, and child care workers. Law Enforcement: Truant officers, probation officers, law enforcement officers, and field personnel of the Department of Corrections. State Agencies: Field personnel from the Departments of Children and Family Services, Public Health, Public Aid, Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities, Corrections, Human Rights, Rehabilitation Services. Also includes supervisors and administrators of general assistance under the Illinois Public Aid Code. Others: Social workers, social service administrators, substance abuse treatment personnel, domestic violence program personnel, crisis line or hotline personnel, foster parents, homemakers, **recreational program or facility personnel**, registered psychologists and assistants working under the direct supervision of a psychologist, members of the clergy. Mandated reporters who make good faith reports have the same immunity from liability under the law as non-mandated reporters. However, a mandated reporter's failure to report suspected instances of child abuse or neglect to DCFS constitutes a Class A misdemeanor; simply reporting suspicions to a superior does not satisfy legal requirements. What does this mean? It means that BY LAW you are required to report any suspected cases of child abuse or neglect. Why am I sending this out? Because I am disturbed by how neither Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts has ever covered mandated reporting in their trainings, even though you are required to be mandated reporters by law. Failure to do so could result in criminal charges and the state taking actions against the organization. Boy Scouts is certainly in a lot of trouble for failing to report child abuse in the past (see the article According to the article: The Boy Scouts of America sent reporters a news release in which they say that under current policy, "it is mandatory that any good-faith suspicion of abuse is immediately reported to law enforcement." However, I have yet to hear about ANY scout leader being trained on mandated reporting, so yeah. **tl;dr By IL law scout leaders are mandated reporters and by law have to report any suspected child abuse or neglect to the authorities.**

However, a mandated reporter's failure to report suspected instances of child abuse or neglect to DCFS constitutes a Class A misdemeanor; simply reporting suspicions to a superior does not satisfy legal requirements. What does this mean? It means that BY LAW you are required to report any suspected cases of child abuse or neglect. Why am I sending this out? Because I am disturbed by how neither Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts has ever covered mandated reporting in their trainings, even though you are required to be mandated reporters by law. Failure to do so could result in criminal charges and the state taking actions against the organization. Boy Scouts is certainly in a lot of trouble for failing to report child abuse in the past (see the article According to the article: The Boy Scouts of America sent reporters a news release in which they say that under current policy, "it is mandatory that any good-faith suspicion of abuse is immediately reported to law enforcement." However, I have yet to hear about ANY scout leader being trained on mandated reporting, so yeah.

By IL law scout leaders are mandated reporters and by law have to report any suspected child abuse or neglect to the authorities.

Since this is a rather specific subreddit and close to home I'm gonna have to cut short on the details. It was on a high adventure. We had one kid who had been problematic for years, he was in my patrol for a couple years and it was a nightmare. His personality is impossible to describe; sometimes he's hilarious, others obnoxious, and occasionally just insane. there are various things that got him into trouble on this trip, I'll just list a few. He spent half the trip naked, which any adult leader would know is a youth protection nightmare, but when you're 60+ miles from the nearest phone, vehicle, or access to the outside world, there's nothing the leaders can do about it when this kid has the attitude of the joker. He has no fear of consequences whatsoever whether it's losing brownie points or even legal consequences. He's extremely intelligent, very athletic, and a black belt in some form of kicking people's asses (I've seen him take on people much larger than him in person) and about 16 years old so there isn't much our victim (scrawny adult with the build of a 14 year old girl) could do at all to stop this kid. when the leader was away from the campsite, the kid ran into the tent naked and got in the leader's sleeping bag. on other occasions he would sexually harass the leader and even try dry humping him in front of everyone and thought it was funny. the leader tolerated this for the sake of the kids who had behaved themselves and wanted to finish the trip but he drew the line when he overheard our psycho trying to pressure another boy into comparing penises. Needless to say this kid was immediately kicked out of the troop and it pretty much destroyed us. we had an awesome troop with some amazing adult leaders that I still consider some of my greatest role models today. After these events, some of the best leaders we had left the troop for various reasons. the troop is now falling apart because of this crazy kid. We were unique in a good way. we followed our own moral compass which is why i thought we were much better than the standard boy scout troop. We encouraged people to challenge the rules when necessary (think outside the box and come up with our own way of solving problems) and the BSA hated us. It was wonderful. that's all gone now and it's just like a standard follow the book troop. And that's how crazy kid ruined Christmas! (sorry if i seemed like i was rambling at the end, i get worked up when talking about this) TL;DR: crazy 16 year old kid with the mindset of the Joker spends entire trip naked and humps leader. the entire troop crumbles. EDIT: in case you're interested, I've got some less depressing stories of kids getting booted from our troop. 1. kid shoved frog up his ass at summer camp. (11 years old) 2. Kid tried to lead a mutiny on me at summer camp, attempted to beat me up (I believe I was 15 at the time and he was 11)

Yes, but I feel in this case they are separate entities. Civcraft is a game. The game starts, and the game ends. The character dies, the player moves on. Everyone plays Civcraft for different reasons, but some people wish to learn. For me the most intelligent option was to choose a different character so I may experience a different reality within this game. A reality that happens to effect others in ways which they perceive as negative. So this "victim" of my actions, how do they choose to feel about me? Do they resent the character portrayed, or the person who chooses to portray them? Do they keep these resentments when the game ends and a new one begins? There is a risk factor that happens when you step into Civcraft, you're stepping into an experiment, you don't know whats going to happen. I personally feel that when I, or any one carries forth with an action some perceive to be negative, there is truly no harm being done. The only harm that any "Real Person" receives is that which he allows himself to receive, at least in CivCraft. This isn't really a clean issue though, right now I feel that most interaction taking place right now is between players, and not so much between characters. Especially when you hold a player accountable on the same level as the character for the actions of a character. TL;DR Always pick GI Joe, cause apparently when you pick Cobra, you aren't worthy of cookies at snack time.

The schedule is advanced by 2 weeks at a time. It is preferred that all games would be human vs human, and I feel we achieve this more often than not. If any GM feels he won't be able to play all or any games in schedule period, then it's requested you build your AI and set team to enable CPU. If anyone goes a schedule period without playing, a friendly reminder is sent. If the team seems to be completely inactive for the next period ( 1 week real life) and no response to reminder, that GM will be removed, but seat held for one schedule period if they wish to rejoin. Not a nazi about this tho, exceptions have been made, people have lives and shit happens. TL.DR: we weed out people who disappear, most GMs in league play lots human vs human.

As excited as I am about this, I'm upset, too, for having to say goodbye to the Coliseum. This was the arena that I grew up in, watching my team play in. I saw some of my all-time favorite players, skating on that ice...Jason Blake, Mike Peca, Bryan Berard, Eric Cairns, John Tavares....Alex Ovechkin, Donald Brashear, Evgeni Malkin, Milan Lucic, Mario Lemieux. I've seen some of the best games of my life played in that building, so many memories were made there. I hate leaving the Coliseum, I love the building, but it's been time for something new. I'll enjoy it until 2015, and once it's time to move to Brooklyn, I'll be right there on opening night. I'm just so happy they won't be leaving New York. TL;DR - Tough to say goodbye to the Coliseum, but fuck it, Let's Go Islanders!!!!! WHERE BROOKLYN AT

As the saying goes, "Good artists create, great artists steal." The only real problems are if anyone else has played the game before, and therefore knows what's going to happen, and if they decide to go off the rails. Remember, the great strength of pen and paper RPGs is that they're freeform. Unfortunately, that's the exact opposite of the great strength of published stories, namely that they're completed. Regular authors don't have to worry about one of their characters suddenly deciding to derail the plot, because they control everyone. You don't have that luxury. What will you do if they decide to side with the bad guy? Will it be an insurmountable campaign-killer if they decide to refuse a job? What happens if they murder an important NPC? You need to be prepared for the inevitable wrench in the works known as creative players. I know there's nothing they like more than confusing me and making me scramble to describe what happens when they do something I didn't think of. tl;dr There's nothing wrong with a little noncommercial IP theft, just be aware that the players almost certainly will derail the plot.

If you're new to things, I would recommend running pre-written adventures to start with, so that you can get a feel for what you need to run a game and what you're comfortable improvising. One of the greatest strengths of Pathfinder is the excellent adventures that Paizo puts out, so I don't see any reason to skip out on them, especially if you're not comfortable yet. Drawing maps, I mostly do by hand if it's actually necessary. Get a feel for the general layout of the region and sketch it out for your PCs. Keep a copy and scan it into your computer so you can reference it later. Add on to it as they explore, but don't too far beyond, say, a starting town and its immediate environs. For a starting group that's all they will need for a little while, if you set things up so that there are several adventure hooks in the region. Thinking up the world is mostly theft. Find things you like from a bunch of different sources, then mix and match what fits together in interesting ways. My home setting is a mix of a bunch of different influences - Eberron, World of Warcraft, Song of Ice and Fire, Magic: The Gathering, even some Star Trek. I take things I like from other stuff, warp it so it's not quite as obvious, and then bam! I have an interesting setting element. Running campaigns, to me, is about figuring out who opposes the PCs, what they want, and what resources they have to accomplish those goals. Plots flow from how the PCs muck up those plans and resources, and how those plots cause problems for other NPCs that might ask the PCs for help. When should there be a fight? It depends on the group, of course, but once per session isn't a bad idea. I generally don't do more than that unless it's a fairly long or action-packed session (though it depends a lot on what kind of games you run - dungeon crawls will almost always have several fights, whereas investigation games with heavy roleplaying might not have that many). It takes time to learn to read the mood of the group to figure out when they want action and when they want to relax into some longer roleplaying. Watch your players - are they fidgeting, looking at their phones, stacking dice? If so, up the action. Are they smiling, talking to each other in character, and having a good time interacting? Then don't interrupt them, or continue talking to them as whatever NPC you're playing at the moment. If one player is hogging the spotlight, try and find reasons to get other players involved, or move on to the next scene that involves someone else. TL;DR ramble ramble ramble.

Does it really matter? The past was the past, lurking 4chan back in the days was fun , yes. Do I get annoyed with the same overused jokes you and I used years before now? Yes. The general population is stupid when it comes to the internet. However, just because the social aspect of it has changed to a watered down cycle of spouting "memes" at one another over facebook, the amount of information that is now available to us is phenomenal. Instant streams to my phone of practically anything I want, quicker response times, more sources for coding and shit like that. It's all perspective. Sure the old jokes aren't funny anymore, but I think that goes along with most things. I'm just happy to have been a part of it in its infancy. TL;DR : meh. Only a few gems of OC remain. The internet is for hipsters nowadays.

As a kid I heard the rumor that in Pokemon Leafgreen or Firered if you leveled up your Charmander to Level 50 before beating the Nugget Bridge and without evolving it when you beat the last guy on the bridge who was from Team Rocket he would ask you to join Team Rocket and if you said yes the game would restart and you would be able to choose either Mewtwo or Mew as your starter. Needless to say, I spent about a month doing that with it taking about 5 hours to level up just once because of how weak to wild Pokemon were. It didn't work and I was pissed as hell. Tl;Dr Get Mew or Mewtwo as a starter if you beat Nugget Bridge with a level 50 Charmander.

My cousin and I were always competitive battlers, and we'd often battle on firered/leaf green through wireless adaptors. When we weren't battling, we would search for different pokemon to catch for the pokedex and battle with. Well I chose squirtle as my starter, and after a lot of searching and training he reached level 98. I had a rare candy in my bag, so he would've been my first level hundred. That is, of course, if my cousin hadn't been there! He told me that if I raised it to level 100 then he would die and I'd have to say good-bye to him at the pokemon tower in lavender town. That scared the shit out of me! I didn't want to lose that blastoise, so I never used it. Until one day my cousin and I traded game boys for the day and just started messing around with each others. I was tryin to get mewtwo on his, and he was going through the elite 4 on mine. He used blastoise and a bunch of other pokemon, but mostly the blastoise. He leveled up to 99, and then my cousin gave him the rare candy. Level 100. I was scared and nearly shit my pants. My cousin gave me this somber look. I did the only reasonable thing I could think of to save my blastoise. I started over so I didn't have to see him "die". Damn it! I miss that guy! Tl;dr: cousin convinced me that a level 100 pokemon would die so I deleted my save file.

not really a rumor but similar: When I was younger and more naive, i often hung out with my cousin and his friends, they were the ones who got me into pokemon, for that i thank them. Why they got me into it was horrible, as soon as i got my first game (Emerald, yes I'm a yougin, shh) and had a decent team built, we battled, what i didn't know was that all of the bastards hacked their games. Needless to say it was the first time i encountered a shiny and a lvl 100 (with stats that could never be achieved). Even after the battle i knew nothing about their cheating, so i played obsessively for the next several years, even after i learned what they were doing, trying to beat them, i never did. To this day, I am proud to say i have never hacked or cheated in any game of Pokemon. TL,DR: friends hack pokemon games, play a lot to try and beat them, never do, have never cheated

I know in Thailand there are a lot of Western tourists.. But black people are more rare. I've seen locals stare at a black guy, just because he was black (this wasn't in Bangkok but in a really small non touristic village). I don't think people would find it weird to see a mixed couple, or react strange.. But it's not something you see in Asia everyday, so maybe people will look but they won't bother you. I can imagine it's the same in Vietnam and Cambodia. TL DR: people will maybe look, but not give you trouble

Thanks. I got burned for a while when the whole three fiddy thing was happening a lot, so when I see a block of text I'm hesitant to read unless there is a tldr. That said, good story

I really get where you're coming from with wanting to date people you know well. Some people will tell you not to wait that long, but I know from personal experience you can't just change your methods like that. That comment tells me you're more about the personality than the looks. Of course you want a cute girl, too, but a girl can become cute to you if she's interesting enough. That's how it is for me, at least. If that doesn't apply to you read someone else's advice, instead, I guess. What I'd recommend in that case is an online dating profile. Online dating is all about personality. You make a profile, answer some compatibility questions, and then see profiles that would be a good fit for you. You get to know girls before you even have to talk to them. And for the most part everyone on these sites is looking for dates so you both know what you're after. (Also, I personally really like OKCupid. There's lots of cool people on there and it's free. This has not been a paid endorsement haha.) As for the virgin thing and the girlfriend dry spell, you can't think about it too much. You can't let it consume you and become desperate. Desperate is not sexy. You have to own who you are. Own it and be awesome about it. You don't have a girlfriend? You don't suck, you've just been waiting until you find a girl that is awesome enough for you. You're overweight? Fuck that, you're the right weight, everyone else is too damn skinny. And there are girls out there that go crazy for a little extra. Just ask my girlfriend. No matter who you are, what you like, what you look like, there are girls out there that want some of that. Find them. tl;dr: Go online, find a girl that matches you, date that girl, own who you are, impress that girl with your you-ness, and then have sex with that girl, if she wants to have sex with you.

The best part about her- she is actually very intelligent. In one of my undergrad neuroscience classes, we referenced a study done at Harvard titled " Frontal Lobe Activation during Object Permanence" with credit given to a Natalie Hershlag..yup so now you know tl;dr She is really smart

It would be great if he only broke his leg. At the very least he dislocated his knee, i would be surprised if its not shredded. Based on what i saw he might never play football again I hope that not the case but from the looks of that play its a very real possibility. He spent the last year rehabbing his other knee to come back and play at a high level. Only to have this happen. This is a young man that has great talent and by all accounts and even better person. He was most certainly a first round pick and his football future is now very much up in the air. Forget flair a very shitty thing just happened to a quality person much less football player. TLDR: you are an uninformed shit head.
