Graham, Allen, and Foles are easy picks. Graham... duh, Allen is easily a WR2 in your league and Foles could break into the top 5 QBs this year. Julio is probably a safe bet. 2nd round pick pretty much in any league size for a 6th round pick. Dez or AP is a little tougher. Dez is probably the better value but you will never replace AP. I would go Dez. Losing a 3rd round pick lets you at least try to target RBs for a while. (pretty much your logic as well) TL;DR - I agree. Graham, Foles, Allen, Julio, and Dez then draft RBs and hope one takes off so you feel a little better about giving up AP. Honestly your WRs should produce well enough to make up for a mediocre RB core even if one does not take off.

LENGTHY POST INCOMING Three things first, my Irish lads: 1) Where are you located? This information can significantly help out in locating places close by. 2) What are your interests? The Atlanta "nightclub" scene varies significantly depending on the mood you're going for, how much money you are willing to spend, how late you want to be out, etc. 3) If you're going to be driving, for the love of God please have a designated driver but also *pay the ridiculous parking fines and adhere to all the rules*. Atlanta is notorious for you parking somewhere you believe you properly parked, then you come out of the establishment to find a boot. You don't want to go through with that shit. ________________________ [Clermont lounge]( is known for being an iconic strip club with older ladies/not young plastic bimbos. Most of the time, "it's a good time." I personally wouldn't recommend, as it sounds like you guys want to get your groove on. There are various management groups that own different clubs in Atlanta that provide different experiences. For example, one of the most well-known is the Gidewon group which owns Reign, Vanquish, Prive, and Halo. I personally really like Reign, and **that would be my recommendation for a Thursday night outing**. Good music with Rap & EDM, wide dance floor, generally good looking people are there. There is a parking lot behind it. If I remember correctly, generally Thursday nights at Reign pull a large Asian/East Asian crowd, due to promoters targeting that market and such. While on that note, **I would also highly recommend Prive if you are in to EDM/EDM festival type music.** The couple times I have been there, the DJs are exceptional and it's full of young, good-looking men and women who are having fun both dancing and drinking. The lines for the bars are quite long as they don't have that many for the amount of people they let in, but this is a relatively new place and they have consistent quality (Next Saturday 6/21 is their 1 yr anniversary and are bringing Laidback Luke). I **do not recommend Vanquish** (right next door to Reign). The bouncers are allowed to refuse you for any reason they deem fit. Most of the time, if you are a group of men and not wearing blazers or very nice clothing, you will be rejected. You will need what the bouncers deem as attractive women wearing skin-tight club dresses. Or a table reservation. Speaking of **places I do not recommend, Opera is one**. The management group does have the bankroll to bring significant DJ presence, but IIRC Thursdays are "college nights" and the girls who go just want to be with their girlfriends aka won't entertain any guys trying to dance with them. There is a lower level for the <21 crowd, then an upper balcony for those 21+. I have had two very bad experiences with both people who go to Opera and the staff working the club, so I will never go back. Maybe I am biased, but I think there are so much better venues to go to than Opera. CosmoLava is another "club/bar" nearby that is kind of two places in one. There is Cosmo and Lava. The building is connected with multiple dance floors and bars, generally has good music playing throughout, and in my experience the clientele is mostly white people/the students from Georgia Tech & GSU (the nearby universities). Cheap cover gets you in to both places. There is a parking lot behind it. As someone mentioned below, Crescent Ave has a considerable amount of places. This is where [RiRa]( (an Irish pub! Or so they claim...) and Sutra Lounge are located. Not bad places either one. Sutra in my experience tends to have a more South Asian/Middle Eastern clientele (mostly due to the management and promotion specials targeted to that crowd) while RiRa is a good mix. There is street parking available (you have to really look for it) and also a large lot that's not too expensive. Just...be prepared to pay up to $20 for parking. Lastly for my list of the club scene, there is [Tongue & Groove]( I like T&G because it has a large amount of bars that accomodate the amount of people, they have a good stage for their featured acts (**tonight actually** they have Firebeatz, one of my favorite up-and-coming EDM groups. Get tickets [here]( seriously only $15ish you can't beat that most places charge a $20 cover anyways, and that's besides parking). T&G has a wide group of people that attend, and they do let in people who are <21 yrs old (read: the age of consent in GA is 16). They also have, in my experience, the most affordable table/private area options. Maybe not for tonight because they have a special event, but still. That area is pretty nice with places to eat and has a parking lot where I believe parking is only $5. _____________________ If you're looking for more of a bar and not really a lights-in-your-face-so-loud-I-have-to-yell-to-hear-my-mates-OMG-the-music-where's-my-molly? experience, then I would recommend [Joystick]( or [Ormsby's]( as people have mentioned. Both places have really great food and have nice large beers and are *really* fun! If you're looking for a more chill atmosphere where you can just enjoy a beer, play some darts or shuffle board or some arcade games and not have to dress up for the club, **I highly recommend one of these two places**. ________________ TL;DR Atlanta has a literal shit ton of places to go to fit any of your moods. With a little research and planning, you can have a really great time. Be prepared to spend money and park appropriately to prevent disaster at the end of the night. Be safe and have fun!

The /r/leangains camp are all about training before you eat. The general consensus is to have some BCAAs before working out (10g), and every couple of hours if you're not planning on eating any time soon (or, just eat post workout and don't worry about this). N=1 experiment on training on empty stomach vs BCAAs: tl;dr; lifts increased more with BCAAs before workouts vs empty stomach.

I wrote this once and maybe you'll find it helpful, hopefully. As soon as you start worrying about how you look while dancing, your movements get restricted and you will start to look awkward. Note that dancing is an all or nothing kinda thing ; youre either going balls to the walls and having a great time without a care or you look odd and weird. More practical advice? Notice how your foot taps or your fist pumps to the 4/4 beats. Well you have so many other joints in your body, and every single one of them can hit one of these quarter notes. Pump your arms on the first, pop your shoulder on the second, move your feet next, swing your hips last, and repeat. Mix and match! Why would you just throw up your fist when your hip can be moving too? And your feet, maybe move them every 2/4? What bout your other arm? Is it just hanging limply? Thats no good. Do anything as long as you end the motion on the 4/4 beat (or perhaps even the end of the bar) with power and confidence and feel; its dancing and its damn good dancing. Perhaps thats all too mathematical sounding for you, but that's honestly the technical aspect of it. Whats funny though is that if you honestly can feel the music all of that will come to you as long as you don't mind potentially looking dumb. When i was first on a dancefloor I was waving my arms around the air to every second beat and my (asshole) friends were making fun of me and telling me i was embarrassing. 6 months of raves clubs and dances later they've completely shut up. I rock the floor now. People approach me and start dance circles with me. I make friends just by moving. Them? Theyre still stuck on the fist pump and the "step forward and back" Tldr: match any motion to the 4/4 but be confident about it. Don't be afraid to look dumb and if you can "feel" it, you'll be gold. If you have any questions id be happy to answer. Also, id recommend checking out simple popping and locking on YouTube, thats how i started advancing from just freestyle. To be honest it all came to me after my first roll, it was just hard to replicate in sobriety. But I was willing to look stupid for fun. And it worked. I remember after my first night rolling I felt like I'd received the best Christmas gift ever.

I think on my [Alesis MultiMix 8 USB mixer]( you can watch the movie on a laptop, connect the laptop to the mixer so the sound from the movie is played through the monitor on the mixer. Then hit a button so that the tracks in the mixers input get recorded. I think it works, but I haven't tried it. TL;DR - Some mixers let you record only the inputs and not the monitor playing the audio of the movie.

I started running at the beginning of the year, and my form was the worst. My legs would flare outwards, I would lean too far forward, and I had no idea what to do with my hands. I basically looked like [this]( I decided to spend a month focusing on nothing but form. It took me probably 11 minutes to run a mile, but now I've got my form completely fixed, and I can do a comfortable mile in 8 minutes, a quick mile in 7, and I can do about 3 miles in a single session. Still not the best, I know, but I'm much better now than I was six months ago. I'm at the point where, when I go out, I'm not constantly timing myself and watching my shadow for form, I just look ahead and enjoy the view. TL;DR - I would choose form first. Speed and distance will follow.

Fun story - I had lost my future wife's engagement ring, prior to giving it to her or her knowledge of its existence. The ring was made with the diamond from her grandmother's ring, and was thus not exactly replaceable. It had been missing for about a month before I told her about it. She had asked why I kept hurriedly disappearing [to go search random places it may have been]. So - another month+ of intense cleaning and searching in every possible location followed. With neither of us in a good mood while searching. Her mother was a better Catholic than I, and had been praying to St Anthony constantly (or so she told me whenever she had the chance). One night I had a fairly vivid dream - I was fishing, with my future wife, and I caught a massive catfish. It was so big that it was breaking the dock we were standing on. I jumped in to wrestle the fish, while she tried to hold the dock together. She was tying it with rope and there were more fish trying to knock it over by the moorings. I yelled to go get my drill - and woke up instantly knowing exactly where the ring was - I [in real life] ran into the garage, opened the drill case, opened the drill bit case, opened the earplug case, and pulled out the ring. That was 2 years ago today. I found out after telling her mother about the dream, that it also happened to be St. Anthony's feast day. And through later research found out that he is also the patron saint of fishermen. So, we go to church now... TL;DR - St. Anthony delivers.

I jumped in to wrestle the fish, while she tried to hold the dock together. She was tying it with rope and there were more fish trying to knock it over by the moorings. I yelled to go get my drill - and woke up instantly knowing exactly where the ring was - I [in real life] ran into the garage, opened the drill case, opened the drill bit case, opened the earplug case, and pulled out the ring. That was 2 years ago today. I found out after telling her mother about the dream, that it also happened to be St. Anthony's feast day. And through later research found out that he is also the patron saint of fishermen. So, we go to church now... TL;DR - St. Anthony delivers.

Fun story - I had lost my future wife's engagement ring, prior to giving it to her or her knowledge of its existence. The ring was made with the diamond from her grandmother's ring, and was thus not exactly replaceable. It had been missing for about a month before I told her about it. She had asked why I kept hurriedly disappearing [to go search random places it may have been]. So - another month+ of intense cleaning and searching in every possible location followed. With neither of us in a good mood while searching. Her mother was a better Catholic than I, and had been praying to St Anthony constantly (or so she told me whenever she had the chance). One night I had a fairly vivid dream - I was fishing, with my future wife, and I caught a massive catfish. It was so big that it was breaking the dock we were standing on.

I'm just going to answer from a slight social and business history perspective. Firstly I would like to say that race does not play a roll in fashion or what is acceptable for what people to wear, but that doesn't seem it. I would argue that whether something is acceptable - or that 'black guys can pull' looks over white guys' - is more to do with specific groups and the subcultures which arise around them. In the Western world white people have throughout history been the major percentage of the population and have experienced historical trends which has defined what is worn today, from white laborers to white collar workers, for example: OCBDs, jeans, chinos/khakis, blazers, ties, suits or what can commonly be called Western fashion. Before the rise of the fast fashion industry many immigrant or socialised minority ethnic groups either adapted to Western fashion or wore garments based on traditional dress, but for the greater part white people and ethnic groups wore the same clothing because clothing cost a lot to make. Now this is generalising quite a lot of the culture of ethnic groups like Asian American railroad workers, British Indians and French Africans for example, but it should be noted that the fast fashion culture we are used to is quite a recent business phenomena. Now specifically after World War 2 across the Western World (Poland cannot into fashion) there was a rise in both living standards and affluence which meant people were living longer and had more money to spend. This affected minority ethnic groups who were disproportionally poorer and had lower life expectancies. Tied with the rise of the fast fashion industry this mean people people were living longer so they needed more clothes, they had more money to buy the clothes and this fueled the burgeoning industry which centred itself around a streamlined production and procurement structure. Tied in with this affluence was a rise in immigration to-and-from countries were the people were visually racially different (i.e. as Ghambia compared to Greece), generally the break-up of traditional Western empires which expounded Western racial superiority by those in power and movements such as the hippies and nuclear disarmament movements which expounded nature or cultures close to nature as... well groovy. It can be reasoned that all these factors came into play making certain ethnic groups more likely choose there own styles or to experiment; in this way ethnic groups can be seen as *Avant-Garde* for adopting non-traditional Western clothing or re-appropriating Western clothing with there own embellishments. TL:DR It's history m8.

It may be that the reputation of communism has been tarnished by a few very poorly behaved communist states. Most Americans probably think of Soviet Russia is representative of communism. And Soviet Russia was corrupt and brutal, repressive, and generally not very nice. Alternatively Americans may think that Castro's Cuba is representative of communism. And Cuba is a small poor island that was economically and politically isolated by the US, and Castro's government was born from violent revolution and wasn't as respectful of human rights and freedoms as one would have liked. In the same way the reputation of fascism has been tarnished by Hitler's Germany. A country that has a fascist or communist government isn't obiged to be brutal and repressive, but unfortunately the most well know politically extreme nations of the 20th century have been very brutal. But equally one raised outside of a capitalist state may view capitalism as a "bad thing". The US is the present day representative for capitalism and many people outside the US are shocked at the wealth inequality, the profound poverty of some Americans, the historical treatment of minority groups, the politics of active military intervention in other regions, and the culture of gun violence. That doesn't mean capitalism is "bad" either, but it does make capitalism less appealing. TL,DR; Communism isn't bad. People are bad.

I totally agree with you. Two sisters who are doctors and its ballbreaking study for years, followed by years of work under insane stress for long hours. If you're smart enough to be a doctor you're smart enough to work in the financial/other sector and make the same amount of money doing something far less stressful. tl;dr - sarcasm, sorry (I'm British)(sorry)

Well, I should have said complex. It is, essentially, a PC that has been locked down. It has your average x86, your average APU, your average RAM/VRAM, etc etc etc. Your HTC One, on the other hand, has an ARM processor, NAND flash (akin to what you find on that 128GB MicroSD, and others with less capacity), a bloody complex touch screen, tiny ass cameras that kick ass (and with mods, probably produce far better pictures when coupled in the correct way), a battery which belongs in the group with the world's most efficient (strength vs size), and a whole crapton of extra tech that lingers in all its details. tl;dr: A lot more total effort went into the many, many more innovations into the phone in your pocket than the PS4 under your TV.

Nah, not stupid at all, no worries. I dunno that it's really an official term, but I use it to mean that I'm attracted to any body type, any age, any sex, any anything physical in nature. It's all about personality and intellect for me. It's not that bodies and appearances don't matter to me, it's just that none of them rule someone out as being sexually attractive. TLDR: Anything that moves.

The problem with sexuality terminology is that, like all language, it's been hammered together and reworked and rewired in the most inelegant, kluged-together ways as we've developed ever more nuanced perspectives on human sexuality. Take "homosexual" and "heterosexual", for instance. What the fuck sense does it make for the object of attraction the terms describe to hinge upon the gender of the person whom they describe? What do you call a male-bodied agender person who's attracted to men? Homosexual? But then what if they're attracted to agender people? Wouldn't *that* be homosexual since 'homo' means 'same'? Wouldn't it be an order of magnitude more elegant to have a term that means "attracted to people of the male gender regardless of one's own gender"? Androsexual, for example? I get that you're not nitpicking my term and I'm not taking issue; I'm agreeing with your "doesn't quite fit the -sexual" scheme observation. Neither does sapiosexual, for example. Hell, metrosexual doesn't even describe a sexuality (when, by all rights, it should describe a sexual attraction to public transportation)! So, TLDR, I feel ya on the confusing inelegance. Unfortunately confusing inelegance is what the English language is made of. :)

Disclaimer: not guaranteed to be totally accurate, someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Based on 1. examples in [Daijisen's dictionary entry on 焼く]( 1.

[this page]( - again, I don't know who the author is, but it mentions &gt; 「焼く」　(yak-u)他動詞　→　「焼ける」(yak-er-u)自動詞 (in general, there are a lot of discussion about how 焼く is the transitive version of 焼ける, and 焼ける being the intransitive version of 焼く), I believe that 焼く is entirely transitive, as far as 口語 or modern Japanese is concerned. --- Now, on the other hand, from #1 (Daijisen), it is also mentioned that &gt; ［動カ下二］「やける」の文語形。 and also from #3 &gt; 文語四段　「焼く」他動詞　→　口語五段　「焼く」　他動詞 文語下二段「焼く」自動詞　→　口語下一段「焼ける」自動詞 So, in 文語 or classical Japanese, 焼く can also be a 自動詞 (intransitive verb) which have the same meaning as 口語's 焼ける. (**Perhaps someone can shed some light on this**) I am mostly ignorant about 文語, but I believe nowadays it is only used in very specific fields/areas, whereas 口語 is kind of the de-facto language (form^? ) for general purposes. --- **Conclusion/TLDR** Based on several sources, it seems like in modern Japanese, 焼く is a transitive verb, even in the case of tanning (肌を焼く) and burning CD (CDを焼く). In classical Japanese however, 焼く can be a transitive verb or an intransitive verb - in the latter case, it has the same meaning as 焼ける.

I want to upgrade my central AC for my house, what can I do with the current, working unit? It works fine, but just doesn't get the place cool enough, it can hit maybe 80', sometimes 78', but really feel like its working. Yes, its been serviced and Freon checked two times(each year), unit is working great. I thought I could just sell it, but then I need someone to unhook it and haul it away. I had one AC guy say he could sell it for like $1200, but turned around and wanted $3500 for the new unit, including the $1200 sale? Anyhow, my question is more along the lines of 'upgrading'. Do people sell their existing unit and use that towards the new unit? I think its a 2.5 ton trying to cool at 1400' single story 3bdr 2ba and can't help but think 3.5 or higher would be better. Or maybe circulation, I use vent covers to re-direct cool air to busier rooms, and switch them around. What's weird is my office room gets super cool, buts its the farthest from the unit (located outside). thoughts? I've seen vent fans, but wasn't sure how easy they are to install. TLDR: my existing ac works long to hit 78', would upgrade to bigger unit help? thx

Honestly the nastiest thing I've ever seen happened about two weeks ago. So I first knock on their door the lady yells through the door hold on one minute I got to get changed five minutes go by and she opens up the door. To put this in context she was about a 350 pound black woman she was sitting there sweating. I went to a customer's house their air handler was in the laundry room I walk in there and it smells like dirty Coochie lo and behold I turn around there's the full laundry basket with a big old black cotton panties sitting on top In her process of getting changed she had taken off her old panties drop them on top of the laundry basket and went and put on a new pair Needless to say her sweaty ass crack smelled lovely TLDR: smelled a dirty pair of panties across the room - like rotten fish on a hot day

I went to a customer's house their air handler was in the laundry room I walk in there and it smells like dirty Coochie lo and behold I turn around there's the full laundry basket with a big old black cotton panties sitting on top In her process of getting changed she had taken off her old panties drop them on top of the laundry basket and went and put on a new pair Needless to say her sweaty ass crack smelled lovely

smelled a dirty pair of panties across the room - like rotten fish on a hot day

If any anime truly captured the essence of a NEET/social recluse, nobody would watch it. It would be the most boring/frustrating show where nothing ever happened. The reason those shows are good is because they take something close to a social recluse and then improve their lives in some form or another. You can get close but never get a true NEET MC. That means the question becomes which one is closest. I haven't seen a fair number of the ones listed, but I know that Oregairu isn't really close; Watamote is pretty close but Tomoko is designed in a cutely awkward way; and Anohana's Jintan was really close. TL;DR: NEETness is asymptotic.

&gt; The theory is, though, that white dude main characters sell the most games. So obviously, pubs/devs will make games with white dude main characters in. Game development is a business, it doesn't care about gender or race issues. It goes where the money is. Ignoring Tomb Raider, Metroid, Mirrors Edge, Bayonetta, Blood Rayne, several Final Fantasy games, and doubtlessly many more that don't come to mind right now. The idea that video games with female protagonists don't sell is just patently untrue. It's an idea based on an marketing executives concept of story writing - "*Video games are about power fantasy, most of our players are male, and nobody can get their fantasy on unless they're playing a character that looks and behaves like they do*" But speaking as a white middle-class male, I'm ****ing bored of playing white middle-class males; the same flat Xeroxed character copied from game to game out of the morbid fear that I might stop playing games if the protagonist is anything else. I revel at the idea of playing a character who's Latino, or poor, or a woman, because if nothing else it's a break from the dullard template I've played in 90% of games; and often non-white-guy characters are the only characters written with any depth, because any studio with the balls to go with a non-white-guy protagonist often also have to balls to write that protagonist well. ***tl;dr***: F*** the white-guy archetype, he's a boring wanker that I'm tired of playing with. Bring on protagonist diversity - I'm a big boy now, I can enjoy a story without the protagonist needing to be a vacuous caricature of myself; and I suspect most other gamers are too.

The first war group I joined was called The Raven Empire, owned by channy97. I enjoyed going to trainings and attending raids and occasionally ranking up. I didn't see the group for what it truly was until I became a high rank. I was placed in a position known as "colonel" which is the first of the authoritative ranks. It granted me the ability to host trainings and send messages to higher-ups to either demote or promote a soldier. Now, from this angle, my perspective of a war group changed. I decided I wanted to learn more about the people I was leading. I looked firstly to the owner's page. He owned (Don't know if he still does) a place that was sort of a left 4 dead style zombie shooter. And of course, there was "Free VIP" for joining the group. At the time, I wasn't very aware of the ROBLOX community on reddit, and I wasn't well-versed in how fame worked on ROBLOX. Well, turns out, Channy97 had been accused of scamming and had his account banned several times. I didn't think this was right at the time, because I had actually held a conversation with him and he didn't seem like that bad of a guy. Now I had achieved a higher rank at this point, "captain" I think it was. This didn't grant me anything special, other than the ability to take over trainings that were already being hosted. At this point, they decided to weed out any "non-active" high ranks to keep the authoritative power from being lessened. These situations often involved very high ranks removing the HR's they just simply didn't like. It was all about drinking the kool-aid. Any HR that spoke out against the owner was convicted of treason, or silently booted from the group. It was during the first of these regroups that I was demoted back down to the starting rank. I hadn't understood what was going on, so I messaged one of my HR friends (I think it was RoyDisney at the time). He said he didn't know what was going on either, but he would ask the owner about it. I didn't hear anything back from him, but for some reason I don't think it was his choice. From that point, I rose to power in the group two more times, and finally gave up on it. When I left it, the owner had renamed it to BHB (Black Hawk Brigade). I then didn't join another war group for over a year, till I fell back in with Roblox Army Reserve. There I met some nice guys, but I was offered another choice. One of my friends from TRE/BHB, Ezaias, told me that he was the new owner of "Spetznaz War Team". I decided to join and I ranked up about four times. I never became a high rank, but this was a significantly low-drama group. He and Bombardir (another friend from TRE) had been running it for some time, and were in close relations with NFC (Night-Fall Clan). I've been in SWT ever since, though I haven't been very active in it. I look back now and realize what an atrocity TRE/BHB is. It's all a big get-rich scheme, and thousands of ROBLOXians have biten onto it. **TL;DR** Joined a war group and become a high rank three times, then get demoted a last time. Joined another group and realized how awfully oppressive my old group had been.

A story that Al Franken tells is that he and Tom hus writing partner decide to by cocaine to try it for the first time. They bought an eight ball (I dunno but apparently it's a lot of cocaine). So he piles it on his desk kind of admiring it like you might any new prize possession. So he goes to get Tom to start their weekend long binge on coke. When he returns it's all gone. He asks what happened, his office mate says, "Oh, yeah, Belushi was just here he snorted it all." TL; DR: Belushi snorted a pile of cocaine meant to last two men a weekend in a few minutes.

i use them in different situations: normal one for low-key provokes. another for a general party alert provoke. and a specific one my raid uses for t6 that puts a sign on my head alerting everyone that i am currently main tanking (my partner having the same one when we switch). tldr: no real necessary purpose. just small, extra qol things.

&gt; when the reality is it's still there. That's how you can still recover data, granted you haven't overwritten it. BINGO. I took care of not editing a thing, and using the appropriate tool. Recuva didn't find the device as it wasn't mounted (corrupted). So I used "Find and mount" ([LINK]( and mounted the flashdrive into a virtual partition "*O:*". Then I used "TestDisk/PhotoRec" ([LINK]( to recover the files. Amazingly, it recovered almost ALL the files I had (aprox. 3.2 GB of data). Of course I had everything backed up on my HDD, as I use the flashdrive as a portable apps device. TL;DR: Didn't modify a file, mounted on virtual partition, recovered all data. STRONGLY recommend Photorec!

I would know that something went severely wrong. I would work my hardest to put my SO at peace and try to have them see that I would never hurt them. This might mean changing your actions, goals, and personality a lot. It may also mean that you are too far down a negative path in this relationship. The best path might be to go alone (yes breakup), grow (on your own) mature and never make those mistakes again in future relationships. You cannot erase, or often even forget the past. Fear in a relationship is not a good sign, you should never fear your partner. If you do, there is likely some underlying or troubling signs and you should really listen to them. There is no excuses for this, once fear starts it will likely never truly go away. Your partner might have that little part of them that says "what if he/she gets mad..." this will always be a heavy and unnecessary burden. TLDR: Do not ever let it get to that point, your relationship might be ruined. If it is at that point, find a way out. Your life can be happy, safe and free of fear as it SHOULD BE!

Basically yes. As most of the people here seem to agree, this sounds like it is or will become an abusive relationship. If you or your SO is afraid of the other, things will not work out. You may need time to grow or explore on your own. You may just need a SO who is less aggressive, yet more patient and tolerant. It all depends on your psychological needs. Being scared is a reflex, it is natural and your body does it without you thinking. Don't listen to me, listen to yourself. Something is making you fear them. Something real. TLDR: If someone in a relationship is scared of the other, it will end badly as there is likely a good reason for the fear. Get out while you can.

&gt;if we could accomplish something that would take many generations to do in only one with just a little more effort, isn't it worth it to do so? Do you have an example of something that would finally be solved with just a little more effort? Even an issue like marriage equality, which has gained very widespread support in America outside of opposition from religious groups, is not going to be a global win overnight, and it's because of cultural resistance. In fact, on this and similar topics, what I have often heard is sentiment along the lines of "all we can really do is wait for that last generation of intolerant, set-in-their-ways bigots to die out before real change happens". &gt;but if that didn't help our generation, are we simply not just pushing our problems to our successors (the same way our predecessors did to us) Requires context. With marriage equality, for example, we didn't go from the pre-60s "homosexuals should be isolated and punished as sodomites" directly to "there's no reason gay marriages shouldn't have the same rights as straight marriages". There was a gradual generational paradigm shift. Even with the example of climate change, there's been a trend toward higher science education and understanding that is complicit in its acceptance, and even *then*, with near-universal agreement in the scientific community, there's tons of pushback in the public sphere. If you'll pardon the Wikipedia link, the page for [public opinion on climate change]( expounds on some of the dynamics that affect the acceptance of anthropogenic climate change, and TL;DR, they aren't things that can always be quickly shot down with concise dosages of truth. I don't think there's an automatic implication of fatalism or that it's "not my problem" when dealing with progressivism at a generational speed. Most change is not overnight, and instilling (or indoctrinating) certain things into a generation's collective outlook/conscience is, I think, more effective overall than "wake up, sheeple" mentality, not that that's what you're necessarily suggesting.

With marriage equality, for example, we didn't go from the pre-60s "homosexuals should be isolated and punished as sodomites" directly to "there's no reason gay marriages shouldn't have the same rights as straight marriages". There was a gradual generational paradigm shift. Even with the example of climate change, there's been a trend toward higher science education and understanding that is complicit in its acceptance, and even then , with near-universal agreement in the scientific community, there's tons of pushback in the public sphere. If you'll pardon the Wikipedia link, the page for [public opinion on climate change]( expounds on some of the dynamics that affect the acceptance of anthropogenic climate change, and

they aren't things that can always be quickly shot down with concise dosages of truth. I don't think there's an automatic implication of fatalism or that it's "not my problem" when dealing with progressivism at a generational speed. Most change is not overnight, and instilling (or indoctrinating) certain things into a generation's collective outlook/conscience is, I think, more effective overall than "wake up, sheeple" mentality, not that that's what you're necessarily suggesting.

There is nowhere it's legal to start before the patient is declared dead. Assisted suicide laws would allow the transport team to at least be ready to go, but those only apply to terminal illness. Switzerland is an exception, as they technically can allow it without being terminal, but it's almost impossible, Dignatas (the main org that does it) won't touch anyone not terminally ill, and there's no real standby/transport capacity available over there. A suicide that isn't legally sanctioned will almost certainly result in an autopsy, which will severely compromise your cryopreservation even if they don't remove the brain. You're looking at a very long ischemic delay in the best of cases, so severe tissue damage, impaired perfusion, all sorts of fun stuff. Forget a timely transport, cause anyone standing by with an ice bath is criminally liable as an accessory. And if you commit suicide specifically to be cryopreserved, you might even get dropped by your cryo org (CI did exactly this to a couple who announced their intentions and tried to get standby for a suicide, dunno what came of them after that). tl;dr: Elective cryopreservation is pretty damn tough to pull off if you're terminally ill, and basically impossible if you aren't. Please try to hang in there, cause it would be a damn shame not to see you make it to the future.

Every weapon has a base damage (which is from what I thought the same for that weapon), then you have a bonus damage which determines the dps of your weapon. If rerolled perfectly, it would get up to 2800+ dps. Your weapon can get more dps from 10% weapon damage of course, or from attack speed (which makes your weapons dps inflate on the sheet dps, while it's not that high for damage calculation, since it uses the raw damage of the weapon ((base+bonus)x 1 or 1.1 with 10% increased damage), attack speed determines the cast/"reload" speed. tl;dr: the weapon is very good when the bonus damage is rerolled to higher value.

I have a friend who is intimidating, sort of, in his presence. He's pretty big (that adds to the intimidation) but mostly his vibe, his being is very down to earth, calm, strong, powerful. He just has that look and feel. And in his case, the matching personality. And ex of mine also had this vibe-- calm, down to earth, strong, just, powerful, but at a certain time mentally, she was a mess: stressed, insecure, depressed. Ironically, her look and feel made it worse: everybody around her thought she had her shit together, was a natural leader, and they looked at her for guidance, advice, making decisions-- which added to her stress. She even fooled me for a while. Outwardly, she just looked calm and in control. TL;DR: No, intimidating can mean strong, calm, down to earth, natural leader-- and it's just in the look and feel.

For me it's code for some other thing, purely because each time I've heard it said it's by the person that *doing the supposed intimidating* and never the person *supposedly intimidated by them*. I've never been intimidated by someone's beauty, presence (outside of male physicality) or intelligence. I *have* been put off by someone's looks, their personality, intelligence or attitude. TLDR: Sounds like a cop-out. Somewhere on the scale of "I only like you as a friend", "I like you but not in that way", "I'm not a good place for dating right now", "You're too nice", except as said from the rejected person rather than the rejector.

I feel like people ask too many questions like this. You really ought to figure these things out for yourself, it's not really that complicated. The cops can get a warrant for your text records, and if you're a victim of a DNM related arrest(CD) then they'll probably take your phone/computer/laptop. Those are pretty much the main vulnerabilities. So, now that you know those(I'm pretty sure you knew those before), you have to look at your lifestyle. Are you a drug dealer, do you have criminal history, etc....if the answer is yes, keep the texts clean. It depends entirely on your personal situation whether or not it's safe, but just know that anything could happen and just because you are a personal user doesn't mean you'll be ignored. I don't really attract heat (or so it seems) and I keep texts/calls vague as possible just to be extra safe. But then again, that's just me. Maybe I sound pretentious, but I think it's crucial that you be able to think these things out for yourself. If you have to ask the internet if this is safe, then how will you respond when cops interrogate you and press you for info? I don't think the cops are going to let you log on here and ask us what you should do. Use your noggin bruh bruh. TL;DR- the texts alone won't bag you(fucking duh), but it's just another piece of evidence against you if LE takes interest in/arrests you.

A few bugs of human psychology exacerbate this problem. Our biology can’t differentiate between one person rejecting us and the entire tribe rejecting us (apes didn’t have monogamy) so when we get dumped we feel like the entire tribe rejected us and we are in the woods alone. This is why a person with one-itis thinks crazy things like “I will never find another girl like her” or “I will never be happy again” or “the world hates me.” Worse, our biology doesn’t know there are multiple tribes in the world. Logically, if a person gets dumped or treated like shit, they should just move on and find somebody else who doesn’t do that to them. But because our biology thinks the entire world is just one tribe, if a person treats us like shit we think we have been permanently relegated to a lower rank and the only way to regain that rank is for the abuser to accept us again. And oftentimes, the abuser will happily pretend to accept us (to feed his or her own ego) and then treat us like shit again at some point. This is why it is so difficult to fix low self-esteem. Even if P moves to a new city and finds a new group of friends who see him as high-ranking, he still thinks the world is one tribe and will still feel low self-esteem until his high school bully approves of him even if P is a rich lawyer and his high school bully works at McDonalds. Having low self-esteem makes people emotionally unstable and shitty to others. They are wracked with depression and anxiety that paralyzes them so they don’t do anything that might offend their superiors. This prevents them not only from interacting with people in a healthy way, but also from achieving their goals, being productive, etc… Furthermore, everybody wants to have a higher rank – so when low self-esteem people meet somebody who isn’t “ranked” in their world, they have a strong desire to step on them to make up for the inferiority they feel with others. On one hand, they want to be highly-ranked but on the other hand they feel extreme anxiety if they leave their lower, shitty rank. These conflicting emotions produce crazy behavior. You may notice that women with low self-esteem will act submissive for long periods and then suddenly do something shitty to assert her “dominance” over you. Happy, spiritually enlightened people don’t play the “rank” game. They resist their ape-like urges (it’s difficult) to make themselves “better” or “worse” than others, and they just treat everybody equally, with respect and dignity. They realize their true value comes from their character and accomplishments, not from other people’s approval. They take legitimate criticism from others, but don’t become affected emotionally. If somebody disrespects them, they don’t fight to get their rank back; they just cut them off. If a person sees themselves as “higher” than you, nothing you can do can change their mind – they will fight you tooth and nail to keep their rank. Because healthy people are not haunted by feelings of inferiority or superiority, they can assert themselves in relationships logically. Withdrawing from the ranking game makes one an alpha. Remember, the “alpha” male, by definition, does whatever he wants and is intimidated by nobody, so if a person refuses to let his actions be constrained by others he will look alpha. People gravitate towards the un-ranked person because he isn’t trying to push anybody beneath him. Paradoxically, if somebody refuses to play the ranking game, they win. It is extremely important to draw strict boundaries in relationships. People are like kids. If you let them act shitty they will act shitty and not even realize what they are doing. When people act rude and fuck with you, they will slowly cause a shift in both of your minds that 1) they are above you and 2) you deserve to be treated like shit. A lot of guys take crap from girls “because she’s hot, bro.” Fuck that. You may think disrespect from a girl isn’t affecting you, but it is – it is slowly fucking with your biology and wrecking your self-esteem, subconsciously making you drop in rank. So how can we prevent low self-esteem? 1- Assert yourself in every relationship – like I said, don’t let yourself fall “beneath” anybody. If somebody is being a dick, call them out on being a dick. Don’t let people push you around. Use your logical thinking ability rather than your “feelings” to determine if behavior is appropriate. 2- Stop trying to please people. Remember, girls (and guys) are attracted to the alpha male, aka the #1 ranked guy in the tribe. As we have stated, the definition of the alpha male is that he does whatever he wants. So if you do whatever you want (within legal and moral boundaries) people will respect you. It’s going to feel weird at first, especially if you’ve been trained your entire life to supplicate to people and make them happy, but once you start not giving a fuck what other people want, you will realize that people respect and like you more. You need to continue to be polite and to take people’s emotions into account, just don’t constrain your actions based on them. 3- Guard your self-esteem. Now you know that self-esteem is a fragile, biological state of mind, guard it. Let’s say you approach a woman at a club and she rudely rejects you – your self esteem will take a hit because a person who you were mildly emotionally invested in told you to fuck off. It’s obviously an irrational emotional reaction, but you need to keep that in mind so that it doesn’t affect you. Keep this in mind. Tldr: human beings naturally rank themselves and low self esteem results from having a shitty rank. Resist that. Two months after I submitted this, someone gilded this comment, I am glad that people are digging deep into TRP posts and this post is teaching everyone a lot, thanks stranger.

Happy, spiritually enlightened people don’t play the “rank” game. They resist their ape-like urges (it’s difficult) to make themselves “better” or “worse” than others, and they just treat everybody equally, with respect and dignity. They realize their true value comes from their character and accomplishments, not from other people’s approval. They take legitimate criticism from others, but don’t become affected emotionally. If somebody disrespects them, they don’t fight to get their rank back; they just cut them off. If a person sees themselves as “higher” than you, nothing you can do can change their mind – they will fight you tooth and nail to keep their rank. Because healthy people are not haunted by feelings of inferiority or superiority, they can assert themselves in relationships logically. Withdrawing from the ranking game makes one an alpha. Remember, the “alpha” male, by definition, does whatever he wants and is intimidated by nobody, so if a person refuses to let his actions be constrained by others he will look alpha. People gravitate towards the un-ranked person because he isn’t trying to push anybody beneath him. Paradoxically, if somebody refuses to play the ranking game, they win. It is extremely important to draw strict boundaries in relationships. People are like kids. If you let them act shitty they will act shitty and not even realize what they are doing. When people act rude and fuck with you, they will slowly cause a shift in both of your minds that 1) they are above you and 2) you deserve to be treated like shit. A lot of guys take crap from girls “because she’s hot, bro.” Fuck that. You may think disrespect from a girl isn’t affecting you, but it is – it is slowly fucking with your biology and wrecking your self-esteem, subconsciously making you drop in rank. So how can we prevent low self-esteem? 1- Assert yourself in every relationship – like I said, don’t let yourself fall “beneath” anybody. If somebody is being a dick, call them out on being a dick. Don’t let people push you around. Use your logical thinking ability rather than your “feelings” to determine if behavior is appropriate. 2- Stop trying to please people. Remember, girls (and guys) are attracted to the alpha male, aka the #1 ranked guy in the tribe. As we have stated, the definition of the alpha male is that he does whatever he wants. So if you do whatever you want (within legal and moral boundaries) people will respect you. It’s going to feel weird at first, especially if you’ve been trained your entire life to supplicate to people and make them happy, but once you start not giving a fuck what other people want, you will realize that people respect and like you more. You need to continue to be polite and to take people’s emotions into account, just don’t constrain your actions based on them. 3- Guard your self-esteem. Now you know that self-esteem is a fragile, biological state of mind, guard it. Let’s say you approach a woman at a club and she rudely rejects you – your self esteem will take a hit because a person who you were mildly emotionally invested in told you to fuck off. It’s obviously an irrational emotional reaction, but you need to keep that in mind so that it doesn’t affect you. Keep this in mind.

human beings naturally rank themselves and low self esteem results from having a shitty rank. Resist that. Two months after I submitted this, someone gilded this comment, I am glad that people are digging deep into TRP posts and this post is teaching everyone a lot, thanks stranger.

Lab diamonds are cheap to create for commercial uses, but the jewelry quality and size are quite expensive to reproduce "synthetically". High pressure high temp (HPHT) works well for creating synthetics but is costly. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is the other popular method for creating synthetics but produces a less alluring quality and is primarily used for commercial purposes. tl;dr - Sapphires, rubies, emeralds, etc are all much simpler to create in a lab than diamonds.

[This]( token druid deck costs 2.9k dust and is very strong vs control warrior and miracle (and by that I mean 70%+ win ratio). The shaman matchup was very good for me, but the sample size was small so it's hard to tell. I would say it's unfavoured vs other druid archetypes, but favoured vs other token builds due to being more consistent. I went 50% vs Warlocks and it felt like an even distribution of Zoo and Handlock past rank 5. I'd say the matchup is slightly unfavoured vs both of them, but you should have the advantage of knowing the matchup better since token isn't that popular. I'd say all mage types are favoured, but not auto wins. I never lost to a hunter or a priest, but obviously neither was very common. Both paladin types are pretty good matchups. TL;DR: The amount of warlocks and other druids will determine how well the deck does. Everything else is favoured.

No, not 100%. What causes bacon and other fried foods to crisp is water turning to steam, creating tiny air pockets, and the food then hardening, leaving this system of air pockets behind. Bacon fried in a pan until crispy cooks at well above 212, so that the water can be converted to steam (the temperature of steam can of course be higher than 212). Even at &gt;212 there will still be *some* liquid water though. The reason is simple: salt raises the boiling point. As the temp increases and more water is converted to steam, the remaining water will have a higher and higher concentration of salt, and a higher boiling point to match. The salt in bacon prevents it from drying out completely, even at frying temperatures. (You can test this by frying an unsalted piece of meat in a different pan while you cook bacon, and then taste them both after they are subjected to the same cooking time and temp.) Also, after the bacon is done and allowed to cool, any steam remaining in the meat will condense, so the final product will have that water in it too. . (Because you are polite I have continued to respond. If you are genuinely curious, dont tl;dr me. Spend the two minutes it takes to read and learn.)

Not sure how much it will help but there's a really good series of blog posts here that explains more in depth about the new NIC teaming in 2012 and how they interact with VM's, plus some general best practice guidance for how most people will want to use them: TL:DR - If you are connecting a vswitch to a team and you have more VM's than NIC's, use Hyper-V Switch Port distribution, for non-vswitch teams use address hashing.

Do you those tiles don't show exactly where people will spawn? A Ball Tile allows players to spawn in a 5x5 area around the tile. Usually this is only for nuetral flag maps bc a normal flag already has a spawning space of 7x7. TLDR: Your spawning space is huge.

That makes no sense. If 800 guys are attacking a division of 30,000 you don't stop and destroy all your heavy weapons, you fucking use them. If you're going to run away like a bunch of cowards like the Iraqis did then you're not going to stop and destroy the weapons first. tl;dr in the time it takes to destroy your weapons you could have used them to win

Sorry man, But it looks just like the Pocket Pistol to me. I'll debunk your debunk. The handle does look a little squarer at the top. I'll give you that. Buuuuuuuuuut. 1) The "Design" you're seeing is probably just the screw in the Pocket pistols handle as well as the slight wood discoloration the pocket pistol already has + Miss Paulings Thumb placement... 2) [The gun in the video DOES have an ejection port.]( 3. There's no way you can actually tell that about the handle from that angle to be totally honest. I'd also like to mention the length of the gun without the silencer. Remove the silencer and the barrel is the same size as the pocket pistol's. The fact that all of those things match the Pocket pistol except the flat top makes me think they just changed the model of the Pocket Pistol. You may wonder "Why do that if they already have the pocket pistols original model?" I don't know, but they did it for Heavy's Sandvich too. No not just the bite marks, the contest of the sandvich are re-ordered. Try to match [This]( with [This]( at any angle. So giving weapons a make over for a special scene isn't too far-fetched if you ask me. TL;DR- It's not not the Pocket Pistol.

H-h-h-here we go! **Wizard of the scientific path**: Discarding should be part of the cost (before the colon). Should be "two", not "2".

There are two issues with this.

I will tell you the truest of all advice 1)Find friends in every class work together, exchange notes bend the rules together (don't get caught) 2) Make friends with your department secretaries, then move onto professors (they will let you know who the cool ones are if your school is legit) 3) make friends with cafeteria ladies (free food) 4) make friends with professors. This is more important for core classes 5) Get your work done but work smart, hard work is hard because you are doing it wrong. Stop and actually think about what you are doing and it will save you a lot of time and headache. Same goes for when you are drunk or high. tl:dr Be friendly to everyone it pays off and helps when you need recomendations

My father is an archeologist for the Texas parks and wildlife... When I brought up my interest in this, he became noticeably perturbed. Apparently there is a historical lighthouse that is going to be rattled to destruction from the force of launch rumble. SpaceX will have to fund for it's maintenance and preservation, but ultimately no amount of effort will restore it as it would be without SpaceX. tl;dr Future is wiping the past, my dad is pissed.

I wouldn't get that puppy. First off, you found it on ebay. Reputable breeders would never sell on ebay. Secondly, no health guarantee. You get this pup and something is wrong, you're out a LOT of money besides the purchase price. Third, I have a white faced boston, but would never breed her (she's spayed anyway). It's not breed standard, so again a reputable breeder would NEVER breed a dog that isn't breed standard. Fourth, I echo dowjames sentiments, and feel like your rushing into this. Dog sit for some friends to see how having a dog changes your life. And lastly, check in to some rescues. They usually have puppies pop up. TL;DR Don't spend almost $700 on a dog from Ebay with no health guarantee and questionable lineage from a backyard breeder.

It depends on the region, fuel type, ecosystem, proximity to structures, fire behavior, and forest overhead. On our forest any human caused fire requires some action. Most ecosystems need some sort of fire regime, be that annual or every 300 years. Prairies and savannas, for example, typically burned every year, which reduced woody cover and bettered conditions for fire-dependent species. It's important to note that the fire behavior is critical in determining suppression efforts, depending on the ecosystem. High intensity, long duration fires constitute the wildfires against which Smokey has so relentlessly advocated. These occur conditions are so extreme that heavy timber readily combusts. Fires such as this turn stands of old fir or pondo into a maze of manzanita and scrub oak. Creeping fires of low intensity and short duration, or even running fires of short duration, don't heat the soil to damaging temperatures. There's a hell of a lot more factors that go into this that what I just described, but that's a quick and dirty version of fire use. **TL;DR:** if the fuel models and weather indicate that fire behavior will be such that it either benefits the ecosystem or reduces hazardous fuel loading, the decision can be made to let the fire burn, provided any threatened structures, arc sites, etc. are protected.

As always the ability to choose is the best thing we can get from an app. I quite like the way some apps tiles look colored and wouldn't want to change them. One's start screen can be an artistic statement so the ability to colorize as needed is important. TLDR yes I agree with you.

That depends on your interpretation of good. Although it would be advantageous to have a recording of every police interaction you have, there is the possibility that officers may consider your actions hostile and retaliate in any number of ways that wouldn't turn out well for you - as evidenced by the hundreds of videos posted on reddit which show exactly that happening. If you're fortunate enough to make it through the encounter with your video, you may be successful in clearing your name and have the opportunity to file a complaint / sue, but that is not always the case. TLDR: You might win the war, but be prepared to lose the battle. If you're ok with that, try not to be obvious.

I personally go by Socrates in this: &gt;In Plato's Apology, Socrates and his friend Chaerephon visit the oracle at Delphi. As the story goes, Chaerephon asks the oracle whether anyone is wiser than Socrates. The oracle's answer is that Socrates is the wisest person. Socrates reports that he is puzzled by this answer since so many other people in the community are well known for their extensive knowledge and wisdom, and yet Socrates claims that he lacks knowledge and wisdom. Socrates does an investigation to get to the bottom of this puzzle. He interrogates a series of politicians, poets, and craftsmen. As one would expect, Socrates' investigation reveals that those who claim to have knowledge either do not really know any of the things they claim to know, or else know far less than they proclaim to know. The most knowledgeable of the bunch, the craftsmen, know about their craft, but they claim to know things far beyond the scope of their expertise. Socrates, so we are told, neither suffers the vice of claiming to know things he does not know, nor the vice of claiming to have wisdom when he does not have wisdom. In this revelation, we have a potential resolution to the wisdom puzzle in The Apology. Source (and more definitions are there): TL;DR: Wisdom is the knowledge that you don't know shit.

I'm not sure where I got this from, but I think this I might help There are four levels of understanding Unconscious incompetence--you know jack squat about a particular subject and don't even know what you're missing or even need to learn. Someone needs to help you get started. Conscious incompetence--you're aware that you know jack squat about a subject. You have learned the framework and basic concepts but when you get down to it, "it" is still a mystery. Usually this means you're open to learning more about what it is you're missing. Conscious competence--you get it. You put in a lot of work and you're starting to see the fruits of it. You still need to put in effort but it gets easier all the time. Unconscious competence--the knowledge is "natural" now. You feel like you've known it forever, and you can do it in your sleep. Sometimes you tn watch other people struggle and think "I was there once" Now some people like to know a lot of things. They never put the time to get any more than CC at any of them. These are "jack of all trades" type people and it takes a LOT of energy to do anything Other people are super-crazy specialized. They do a very small set of things but do them so well they can't even describe how to do them or how they learned. Doing those UC task is nearly effortless, but anything else takes a LOT of energy. So they use that one thing as an escape for which they ways can succeed, and the cycle starts over again. Wisdom is being aware of what you know, knowing where to apply that knowledge, and most importantly **knowing the limits of what you should be spending your energy knowing.** Physics may be really interesting but at it dosen't do me much good to get Einstein or Hawking good. There's an element of being at peace with yourself and your limits, but pushing those limits as much as you can in a direction that will do you and others good. That I feel is essence of wisdom; to be able to know what you know and know what you need to know. TL:DR Know what you know, know what you need to know

Thanks! Yeah, I was traveling with a personal mongolian driver on the country side, all of a sudden he stops and says "look! a guy who owns a golden eagle let me take a picture of you with it". At first I had the eagle sit on my hand while I was wearing this huge glove. But then all of a sudden the bird guy says "let's put it on your shoulder", I'm like "what?! no?! wait?! I'm not even wearing a sweater or a diaper. Shit! This is gonna hurt!" so he puts it on my shoulder, and you know what? It was actually quite comfortably to have it there. It didn't hurt a bit, and it kinda felt like getting a massage. I have absolutely no idea how they managed to the get the eagle to be that tame and gentle. They'd probably trimmed the talons a lot. TL;DR You should get a golden eagle to give you massages EDIT: Words n' shiz

When I was in high school I would go over to a friend's house and ride her 4-wheeler out in the woods. One day I hit a big rock that I somehow didn't see and flipped down a hill with the 4-wheeler landing on top of me. I didn't get hurt too badly or anything, just a couple of bruised ribs and a sprained ankle. I got up and hobbled back to her house and told her what happened and that I may need to have my ankle looked at. Then she completely flips out, screaming that she was going to sue me for damages. Well her mom heard the ruckus and came flying out the door to come scream at me too. I was so overwhelmed and just wanted everyone to shut up, so I knocked my friend out cold. Then her mom pushes me down and runs in the house to call the police, who pretty much said "Uhhh... so you didn't care that she might have been injured in the wreck?" So since it was so far out, the cops took me to the hospital themselves after checking out the 4-wheeler to make sure there was no significant damage. tl;dr I got into a wreck on a 4-wheeler. The owner cared more about the 4-wheeler than my injuries. I knocked her out. Backwoods redneck drama, plain and simple.

I like to format and fresh install windows each year or so.. I find this helps with keeping software conflicts at a minimal. Just general browsing and software trials tend to clog up my registry and drivers... So after reinstalling windows I have a list of my favorite support software I install. I find this keeps the CPU performance at a cool temperature. I dont have any degrees in IT or anything, but I have noticed this always helps in how fast my computers load up, and my cooling fans also dont kick in as much.. tl;dr - Did you try turning it off and on again?

So I never knew what this game was about. I always saw it on steam tho. After reading this post and looking at the screen shots it looks really fun. So I hoped on steam to add it to my wish list so I can snatch it up when its on sale. When I pulled up steam I realized they posted the first summer sale deals. Don't starve was on the daily deal for 3.xx! I bought it. Going to install and play it tonight when I get home :) Thanks for the post. I may have passed it up again without it. TL;DR its on steam for 3$ and change

Platinum bruiser-nidalee main here. I like pre-rework better, but that's because I liked the prestige and difficulty of being a bruiser nidalee main. Like did you ever see bruiser nids in low-elo? Nah, we're a breed of high class and skill. But now all these poser nids are trying to play the same style as us, and what's sucks is that she has so much raw damage now that these noobs *can* play the same style. Yes, nidalee does still have a high curve, but when I see a "first time bruiser nidalee" go 7-2-10 (with a build I suggested), it's kinda a slap to our faces. What's even worst is that us "pros" can't even play the new nidalee. Why? Because it's not our style! We were kites, we were nimble, but now she is so much slower and her skills are different. Pounce and swipe adjustment for cursor-direction is such a noob-friendly change. *But I ain't a noob!* I want the difficulty of forward-motion because I *mastered* forward motion! Ugh. Also rarely ever did we care about spears, and now they're so necessary for initiation. Not to mention, the hitbox is super tiny on those now. Ugh. All that training and practice that we put into being different and good is all gone. Tl;dr - Bruiser nidalee was the hipster beast of LoL. Now we're just another champion :/

Platinum bruiser-nidalee main here. I like pre-rework better, but that's because I liked the prestige and difficulty of being a bruiser nidalee main. Like did you ever see bruiser nids in low-elo? Nah, we're a breed of high class and skill. But now all these poser nids are trying to play the same style as us, and what's sucks is that she has so much raw damage now that these noobs can play the same style.

I don't find the new spears one bit harder to hit than the old ones. Bruiser nidalee is pretty much godtier at the moment, I don't think it's possible to lose a lane without a lot of jungler attention from the enemy (Even hard matchups like irelia and such are so goddamn easy lvls 1-6 are complete domination opposed to the old nida where you we're in your most vulnerabilest lvls 4-6. She's also so goddamn versatile, top ap nidalee is so much better than it used to be (Iceborn Gauntlet &gt; Deathcap &gt; Void/Ardent Censer/Whatever) I haven't dropped a game on nid ever since the patch. Perhaps I've been refined to a god tier nid due to playing her so much pre rework as a bruiser, like training in 100x gravity. E: forgot about the passive, I reckon riot a bit overboard with the bonuses from the passive, the jump is crazy range, with botrk you don't really get away from her. Not to talk about the crazy dmg to takedown. The pounce cooldown reset is amazing in pushing and utilizing it on lane, just like the top brush, makes and breaks good and bad nid players. The sound of the rest is so goddamn satisfying. I like to go full ad bruiser nid top, always first item sheen, unless you're facing an AP champ in which case you get chalice before the sheen (sometimes 2 dorans into sheen will do too, depending heavily on how the lanes going) but sheen for the first actual item that builds into something. At that point I start building towards trinity if I've killed my lane multiple times, Iceborn gauntlet if I'm losing, BoTRK if playing against full tanks (such as shyvana, mundo, nasus and so on) My second item usually is finishing either the BoTRK (if going routes A or B) or finish TF/iceborn. For third item I get frozen heart/randuins/spirit visage/banshee depending on what's needed (fed burst dmg/fed ads/fed autoattackers) Spirit Visage is borderline offensive item on her. Sometimes I might go LW or even IE for third item if I'm feeling like there's really nothing that can stop me and my opponent is going full armor tank and I wanna keep destroying my lane. Top AP nid I discussed earlier, obviously if you're playing against an AP top you might look getting Athenes instead of Iceborn but NEVER get them both, you'll be just shooting yourself in the leg damagewise, Athenes and Iceborn are not damage items, they're built for the manapool. I usually start either dorans shield for the safety but split pen runes and dorans blade start isn't bad either. I suppose you could go ring too but why bother when you don't need mana that much per say when you've got cougar at lv 1. AP nid is pretty much the same as it used to be, the only new thing really what I've started doing is buying Ardent Censer for my 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th item. Zhonyas isn't really an item you want to find yourself rushing on nid so you used to be a bit gimped what to buy after the usual Athenes/deathcap/void. TLdr; New nid op as fuck, expect nerfs. _AD nid build;_ Chalice (vs AP top, dismiss if vs AD) ~&gt; Sheen ~&gt;(TF (win lane), Iceborn (Lose lane/don't win) or BoTRK (full tank) ~&gt; Finish BoTRK/TF/Iceborn whichever you didn't build ~&gt; Defensive Item of your choosing or LW/IE for lulz ~&gt; Another tank item ~&gt; Tank item. Fit boots somewhere there, I trust you can make a logic based decision here. _AP bruiser top;_ You can start with any dorans really, shield is safest, blade is nice for AA harass w/ split pen runes, ring for easy match ups, though blade ought to be more useful in every way possible ~&gt; Iceborn Gauntlet (vs AD) Athenes (vs AP, though Iceborn will do too) ~&gt; Preferably Deathcap ~&gt; Preferably Void Staff but if not needed build more dmg or perhaps Ardent Censer.

It was an online friend but I had known him for a while. I think he was pretty into me and started out by just being jealous and then progressed into saying everything I thought/felt/said was wrong and that my relationship would blow up in my face and I would come crawling back to him as a friend saying he was right. TL;DR: I'm very glad real people are nicer

I reject your assumption that equality and freedom are mutually exclusive to the point that you can only advance one at the expense of the other. I do not understand how you and I being equals confers less freedom on you. You still have should that be your wish, the freedom to attempt to impose your will on me. The only difference if we are equal is that there is no guarantee you will be successful. It seems that you equate freedom, not with freedom on action, but with freedom from consequences. Tl:dr try not looking at it as a zero sum game.

I'm sorry, but how was FF13 really difficult to relate to the characters? If anything, FF13 is the most easiest to relate out of all Final Fantasies. One of the strongest points of the game is familial relationships. Each main character is driven by their need to protect/save their own family. We have Lightning who has to deal with the feeling that her sister has found someone new to look up to, so finds herself despising that new guy. In the process, gets so caught up in her jealousy that she couldn't save her sister. Snow, who tries desperately to protect the one he loves, even though he knows she is a walking death sentence for either her or the world. And then he has to deal with the fact that he led so many people to their deaths in the first chapter, when all he was trying to do was help. Sazh has a similar situation as Snow, except he is trying to save his son as opposed to fiancé. Once again, walking death sentence. The scene where Sazh first discovers that his only son became a l'Cie particularly gave me a lot of feels. Vanille has to deal with the fact that she fucked up big time, pretty much. Fang tries so desperately to find her sister. Hope. Probably the most realistic character out of all the FF series. He is *literally* a normal kid. Not an orphaned knight. Not a summoner. Not a prince. Not a sole survivor of an ancient race. No, just a normal kid who was just trying to enjoy a vacation with his mom. But a horrible turn of events ended up leading to his mother's death. He then needs to learn to not let his emotions cloud his judgments. **TL;DR :** All of these characters are introduced to you as having fucked up majorly at one point and having to deal with the consequences of fucking up. And on top of that, they are all l'Cie. So on top of all the drama, an ultimate power has declared that there is no hope for their future. So maybe in real life, the stakes are not so high, but tell me again, **how is this story not relatable?** Oh, and of course, in the end, the heroes don't give up and instead, they triumph. If that doesn't teach you a great lesson...

Hey, been throwing for a few weeks now and I've been progressing pretty smoothly. Been wanting to clean out my bearings and found good instructions from all over. The only problem is what I could use to clean the bearing. I could go out and get some paint thinner or order the zippo lighter fluid, but I wanted to see if regular charcoal lighter fluid would work? [Like this stuff since I already have it.]( The most important thing I've gathered from the videos is to make sure you don't leave residue of the cleaner you use and it helps to add a little lube, but I haven't found much on what's okay to use vs. what isn't. Thanks. TL;DR: If you just opened the image, I'm planning to burn yo-yos

Review time! So today I went out to the park for nearly the entire day, it was very sunny and hot. I used the Uvistat SPF50 on my face in the morning and put makeup on top. Didn't reapply during the day, but I do not see any signs of sunburn so I would say it does seem to do its job at least :P. The texture of the sunscreen is rather thick - thicker than any Soltan sunscreen I've tried. I applied it liberally all over my face by rubbing a little and patting. I found that after about 10 minutes of it sitting on my face I had to rub and pat a little more as it didn't sink in very well and looked like it was just sitting on top of my skin. It was OK-ish a further 10 or so minutes later, but still relatively sticky. I'd say that Uvistat is much less 'greasy' than Soltan but much stickier. There is also a very noticeable white cast (I could see it clearly near my hairline). This may be due to the titanium dioxide in the product. My water/silicon based foundation applied on top decently (not perfectly though). In terms of irritation, I experienced none at all with the Uvistat, but then again Soltan doesn't irritate my skin either. I have an Avene sunscreen (SPF 50 cream) which does tingle around my eyes though for a while after application (so my skin can get irritated from some sunscreens). tl;dr: * Pros of Uvistat: Good protection from burning as well as good UVA protection (5 star rating), not irritating on me, not too expensive (£16 for a 125ml tube) * Cons: Sticky and white finish

I think there may be. Not long ago, I took my Adder (must've been the original) and tried to call the mechanic when at the customs, just as an attempt to try and sell for 700k+ rather than 120k. My friend then accidentally rammed me into the mod shop, so I figured it was screwed up. I ended up calling the mechanic anyway, and of course he didn't deliver due to me already being in my PV. I then went back to my garage, took the Adder back out (can't recall if it was the original or dupe) and sold it for 700k. I'm in the process of trying to figure this out now. TL;DR - Sold my Adder for 700k rather than 120k, and not totally sure how I did it. EDIT - To sell full price, you have to sell the original car. However, you may only do this once. I accidentally did this, and although the payout was nice, I think I'm going to have to buy a new Adder for future glitching. So don't sell the original car. You have been warned!

I then went back to my garage, took the Adder back out (can't recall if it was the original or dupe) and sold it for 700k. I'm in the process of trying to figure this out now. TL;DR - Sold my Adder for 700k rather than 120k, and not totally sure how I did it. EDIT - To sell full price, you have to sell the original car. However, you may only do this once. I accidentally did this, and although the payout was nice, I think I'm going to have to buy a new Adder for future glitching. So don't sell the original car. You have been warned!

&gt; Would you really not want to be contacted if it were you? Not even an apology? No. I've been in those shoes to some degree. I asked out a few girls trying to make the leap from friend to romance. I stayed friends for years afterwards in some cases *because I didn't have a problem with the answer of "no."* For whatever reason, this guy was not prepared to hear "no" and remain friends. Sure, it didn't help that you hooked up with some other guy around that time, but that is not *your* problem. That is *his* problem for not being able to see you go out with other guys. **When a guy asks a friend out, he had better be willing to fail, or GTFO, if he can't handle failure.** You friend had to take the GTFO option because hey, sometimes you can't just shut those feelings down. Maybe that's unfair to you, but after all the shitty Nice Guy stories I've read, I think he did you both a favor, and did the least harm he could to everyone involved. That's not to say that neither of you is harmed by the friendship ending, but he did what he could to avoid causing himself, and probably you too, a lot of pain. So why am I so adamant that you should not contact him when he could have cooled out after 3 years? 1. He'd have stayed your friend if that was a workable option 3 years ago. 2. He'd have come back if it friendship was a workable option now. 3. I've known guys who carried torches for *years,* including years with no contact. In one case, contact was resumed off a chance meeting. It went very badly. In another example I've seen, he had gone on, had a few relationships, but never really realized it was *never* going to happen, until she had 2 kids with her husband of 8 years. **If he's one of these torch carrying type guys, you're probably only going to open up a wound that has probably healed over.** 4. You want to go back to where you were 3 years ago, with no possibility of that relationship going anywhere else. That was *exactly* the terms he rejected in the first place. **TL;DR - If you decide to contact him, you are risking hurting him by re-opening an old wound for the sake of apologizing for a situation where you didn't really do anything that bad. He would find you on Facebook or whatever if he wanted to speak to you. He made a decision to cut contact.**

Pretty complicated story. I live in Chicago and work as a private detective and my friend introduced me to a porn bigshot. For some reason, he had pissed off some higher ups and wanted me to work as a bodyguard of sorts while figuring out who the hell was trying to get him dead. First day on the job, I'm working the boom mic and everything is peachy. Lo and behold, between cuts, someone fucked with the electricity and our actress was electrocuted in the shower. After we got that sorted out and the actress in the hospital, it becomes apparent that someone had tried to fucking murder me with a goddamn blowdart gun. They made it personal. I ended up saving a bunch of kids, slaughtering a horde of Black Court vampires, and found out I had a brother. TL;DR-- Hell's bells

It is a terrifying feeling not being able to move. The first time it happened to me, I thought I felt footsteps on the bed, I thoight I could hear deep demonic panting and one point I thought I was being touched by something. But it started as just being unable to move, and that scared me, then I thought I heard something, even more scary. Then it just escalates until you're half dreaming and teying to think of all the terrible things that are aboit to happen to you. Tl;dr you get inside your own head.

It's a great story that hits home for me. You are right, it's the entitlement and a man being a pig that the story is really about. I lost my cool the same way as Lars once. I wasn't being a white knight, I was being a good big brother to my little sister in a similar situation, only instead of a hammy neckbeard it was a pro-bowl line backer for an NFL team. It's odd it was the only time in my life I didn't subscribe to the "you don't have to fight the shark to fight for the wave" theory. I wanted to fight the shark! He backed off once he realized it wasn't my wife or GF but my little sister (or maybe it was because the other bouncers came over). TL;DR: its just not neckbeard hammies that feel the entitlement.

I recommend proxying up any and all decks and playing with them before making card purchases. Though manaless dredge is relatively inexpensive, it's still worth investigating before dropping well over a hundred bucks. Another point - Legacy is hard. Limited and standard are hard enough, legacy is very hard. With so many cards there are a lot of interactions that don't occur in other formats. Manaless Dredge is interesting in that it cares a lot less about what the opponent is doing and has a pretty linear strategy. I played the deck for a while, and I learned a lot during that time. I learned about the deck itself, which is more complicated than it seems at first glance, but more importantly, I began learning learning about the metagame and other decks which have a bit more play to them. Unfortunately, I'm no longer a big fan of manaless dredge, because it's a deck that loses to cards, not decks or players. It has a good game one, but it's game 2 and 3 are miserable if they are packing any graveyard hate. Both winning and losing with the deck became boring to me fairly quickly. It seemed like a coin flip deck, not something I enjoy anymore. TL:DR - Try before you buy, proxy it up and jam some practice games at home against tiered legacy decks.

My friend and I went there a few weeks ago walking his wifes dogs. There were several of these under dressed (read: near naked) dudes lurking by the cliffs. We didn't stop to enquire as to their sexual orientation but id hazard a guess and venture that pussy doesn't interest them in the slightest. TLDR: yes its a gay nudie beach.

I know what their ToS says and I'm saying that it's bullshit. They know full well that whilst they and probably all other exchanges include this clause in their ToS, people will continue to use them because that's all we've got right now as a vehicle to trade. I myself lost money when a similar attack occurred on a coin I held at Mintpal. Their answer was to freeze the currency until such time as the Dev's forked the coin and increased the money supply to cover their losses. It was either that or they were going to de-list the coin, effectively killing it. Of course, the community voted for the former in the hope of recovering some of their investment rather than be left bag holding a bunch of worthless coins. The lesser of two evils if you like. I agree that having any involvement in crypto at this stage is risky but when you entrust your money to a third party so they can make profit, the burden of risk should transfer to them. Tl;dr: Bullshit.

one day me and my buddy went through the drive thru smoking my tobacco pipe - the lady looks at me really weird like and say's "i can smell it!" I'm like "What the tobacco?" she say's "no...?" and give's me a another strange look. While we are waiting for the food the manager sticks his head out the window and using very loud voice says "you guys cant do this in the drive thru! it's not ok! seriously? I cant believe you guys think you can do this!" while we're just sitting there smoking the pipe saying what are you talking about? I even blew some thru the window and said "smell it" and he said "smells like weed!" - I've never smoked weed in this pipe it solely for tobacco cause I don't like riding dirty. anyways as the first lady handed us out food she said "smile for the camera!" with a really bitchy 'you're in trouble, ha ha-hahaha!' face on and slammed the drive thru door shut. I just sat there in awe of their stupidity... I even knocked on the door trying to get them to look at the pipe - but they refused... man I was pissed - I dont go there anymore because of their shit service. TL:DR Fuck my Taco Bell

So a guy jokes with a girl and plays prank on her by hiding her purse. After 5 minutes he returns it and they have a good laugh about it. Neckbeard jumps out of a bush and runs up to guy and unloads two magazines into the poor guy, killing him. Neckbeard yells 'no one fucks with m'lady'! Neckbeard expects the girl to jump out of her clothes, begging him to fuck her right there on the spot. Instead she runs away screaming while calling the cops on her phone and begging for help. Neckbeard gets arrested because neckbeards can't run. Neckbeard goes to prison for life due to murder in the 1st degree and becomes everyone's bitch and gets raped in the ass and mouth for the rest of his life. DFW when you lose your virginity in prison. TL;DR- neckbeard's imagination will score him an endless supply of dicks.

I'll bring my opinion in as an Englishman. I like our health system, our presence on the international political stage even though we're a spit of land and the respect that seems to garner (for no reason whatsoever) from other nationalities, I like our universities, I like our rugby, I like our TV shows and our comedians, I like our food (don't know what everyone else seems to be eating, but there's more to it than fish and chips and everything you file under 'bland'), I like being stubborn and I like moaning about the weather and having nomenclature arguments with people from other countries. Dislikes? I dislike our political system (especially after the European elections), I dislike the financial burden that's been placed on students, I don't like the school education system, I don't like the people who pass on their racism to their children because of the inputs from things like the Sun newspaper, I don't like the way we treat the homeless, I hate the way that I will be paying for the mistakes of the generation before me, I hate the way that the privileged talk to other people (product of a boarding school, I've seen the worst racism from a magistrate not a chav), I hate the fucking sense of entitlement that people have growing up and the way they took it upon themselves to riot a few years back. Oh, and I dislike London. It's a scary place that's hard to live in. TL;DR Englishman moans.

I dislike our political system (especially after the European elections), I dislike the financial burden that's been placed on students, I don't like the school education system, I don't like the people who pass on their racism to their children because of the inputs from things like the Sun newspaper, I don't like the way we treat the homeless, I hate the way that I will be paying for the mistakes of the generation before me, I hate the way that the privileged talk to other people (product of a boarding school, I've seen the worst racism from a magistrate not a chav), I hate the fucking sense of entitlement that people have growing up and the way they took it upon themselves to riot a few years back. Oh, and I dislike London. It's a scary place that's hard to live in.

First off, I apologize for the length of this but I have a lot to say about this particular subject. I have an associates in automotive technology, my ASE master tech certification, and a whole bunch of other misc certs. Been doing this for 13 years now and I hate it. It took me 12 years to get to a point where I am making an actual SOMEWHAT liveable wage. Thinking about it now I don't really know anyone who made any decent money doing this until they were in it for a what I would say is a long ass time. I get paid for the work I do only, no hourly. It varies but on average I'm making around $20-25 an hour on a normal day all the way up to $40-50 an hour when I'm slammed and nothing goes wrong. You will learn all kinds of shit in school and just like a lot of other careers you'll probably use about half of it. There is a book way of doing things and then there's the way everyone actually does those things. You'll get out of school and get a job somewhere and most likely no one will give a flying fuck what you think you know (or even what you actually DO know, they still wont care). Your probably going to be shop bitch for awhile before you really get to do anything besides oil changes and basic shit. EVERYBODY goes through the shop bitch phase. If you suck at this or act like a pretentious spoiled fuckhead who is too good to do bitch work...your gonna have a hard time. I've seen so many dumbfucks straight out of school act like this and they all end up quitting because everyone hates them and treats them like the lazy piece of shit they are. Then they go to another shop and the same thing happens and then they find a new career. I worked for 5 or 6 different shops and it's all been pretty much the same at every one. Your expected to get shit done pretty damn quickly and not fuck up. If you do all the shit the way school taught you your not going to be able to keep up because doing things "properly" take too much time. Most of the time the customers don't really seem to give a shit about doing things properly either...they just want their car back ASAP. Corporate owned shops are THE WORST with this shit. The guys that half ass the fuck out of everything so they can get more cars in and out of the shop are held in almost holy reverence because they make the most money for the shop. The fact that a lot of these cars end up coming back a second time due to shitty repairs or incorrect diagnosis because diag takes too long so fuck it just make an educated guess...is completely ignored by management. Doing things right takes too long for these guys. Working for corporate shops is what really crushed my spirit and enthusiasm for this work. It has never been anything close to what all the schools make it out to be. This has been how pretty much every shop I've worked at operates and it drives me nuts. Personally I take my time to do shit right and almost never have a customer come back due to my fuckups. Management and the "fast" guys all talk shit and complain about how slow I am but they all respect my skills I guess so it's never been a problem for me. If you are slow as hell AND you have constant come backs...then you will not last long no matter where you are. So long story short, if you do end up doing this as a career AVOID corporate owned shops. They are terrible and despite constantly telling you how important honesty and integrity are in this line of work they will usually encourage and reward dishonest and half assed work. Working at a dealership seems to be the gold standard in this industry so I would highly recommend you start there. You will likely have to work your way up but you'll probably be a much better technician in the end. To me the most important and valuable aspect to working at the dealer is TRAINING. Cars change every single year, sometimes drastically. The technology is evolving especially quick right now and it is extremely difficult to keep up if your not constantly trained and informed on all this new shit they are doing with cars lately. For example, hybrids are the big thing now and hardly anyone knows how the fuck to do any work on them besides the dealer. Yes I know there is shops out there that can handle them but that is definitely not the norm yet. When I went to school the prius was still a new thing so we got NO education on all that whatsoever. I've not met an old timer yet that knows a single fucking thing about them either. You'll still see and endure a lot of stupid shit going on there but the rewards to yourself will be much better than starting off anywhere else. Keeping up with the technology is so important if you want to be good at this stuff and no one even comes close to offering the constant education you will get working for a dealer. Only thing close would be finding a HONEST and REPUTABLE independent shop ran by some actual good mechanics and learning things the old fashioned way, by watching and listening to the guys who are better than you do what they do. Last thing I have to say is that personally I fucking hate this shit now and have for a good while. The vast majority of experienced techs I've worked aren't really happy at where they are at in life and their career either. It can be fairly grueling some times, you go home sore and achey nearly every day, you work with a bunch of toxic shit that will probably give you some sort of cancer eventually, and somewhere along the road you'll probably get carpal tunnel or arthritis or something before most people have to worry about it due to the constant abuse your hands are going to receive. So yeah...it can be rewarding but it's mostly frustrating. The good thing is that even in a shit economy I can always find a job. I can fix my own as well as my friends and family cars/motorcycles which is a great thing. It saves me a ton of money at times and I've helped a lot of friends family fix their own cars and saved them a lot of money too. A major failure in your car can cause some serious financial hardship for people who are already struggling. It's a good feeling to be able to help them out. Sometimes I get customers in my shop who completely break down emotionally when I tell them how much it's going to cost them to fix their car and I can tell they are really struggling, so I give them my number and tell them to take their car home and call me later and I go fix it for them. I just have em pay for parts. So it's a good skill to have for that sort of thing. I know I sound bitter...which I am I guess. It is what you make of it. If you do go that route I hope you do better than I did. Just don't expect to make a ton of money anytime soon. It takes years of experience and some serious skills and knowledge before you ever get to that point. Feel free to ask me any questions you have on this. I'll try not to let my negativity seep through as much as it did here. Good luck though! With whatever you decide to do TL:DR Don't do it. If you do it anyways, try to start at a dealer or reputable inde shop, get into hybrids if you can or maybe high end European junk (they break constantly and you get paid a ton to fix em), don't work for a corporate shop, prepare to deal with lots of bullshit.

Guys like this are so successful at conveying directness and do it using accusatory statements or questions to challenge, or provoke you. They constantly test you, and other people buy it or end up falling in line with it because they are happy to be outside that intimidating frame where they're constantly asked to prove their worth to someone who's clearly comfortable and confident enough to be in everyone's face. So the easiest way to handle this is not to step up and try to actually prove your worth (or that you're capable/not afraid, etc) to him but instead pretend he's speaking a foreign language. Instead of meeting him head on you should instead expose the absurdity of his challenging, either by making it awkward for him or pretending to not even know what he's talking about, but with confidence. It depends what he says but any of these retorts/responses might work: "What does that even mean?!?" (Act perplexed/confused and laugh at absurdity) "Hahah, yeaaa...anyways/funny shit dude/(or nothing at all)" "Huh??....sure yup/yea" "Niiiice" (thumbs up and laugh at him) Keep this up and either A. He'll hate you and won't bother hanging out with you or B. He won't play games with you because its somewhat off putting to not play his game and have him either resort to support from others or play alone knowing you don't care or it doesn't register with you. Tl;dr Don't respond to him directly challenging you, let it slide off your back and question him/put him on the spot. Takes all the fun out of it and gives him no validation, leaving him to either avoid you or talking to you like that.

I'm seeing plenty of AAA titles and decent games on flash and daily deals (Devil May Cry, Borderlands 2, Skyrim, etc). And they discounted two very new releases (Dark Souls II and South Park) right off the bat. 30-33% off two new AAA titles isn't too bad for new releases. As others have said it's only Day 4 and we have a week to go. While I agree Tomb Raider wasn't great (I got it last summer), it's possible you just own a lot of games that are on big discounts. I've seen a few games I bought years ago now on deep discounts. But I'm still happy to see them on sale because it means I can gift them to friends or even just vote for them in Community Choice so others can get them and enjoy them. So if you already own a ton of games the sale isn't going to seem that awesome. I've used the opportunity to check out games I may have missed in years passed, picked up co-op games friends own so we can play, and discovered new indie games I may have never considered without seeing them 80 percent off in a flash sale. You can also dig through the catalog and sometimes find games that were quietly discounted. As for the team thing, nothing wrong with free or cheap chances to win a bunch of games. If you're going to shop for games anyways might as well get something extra. Plus I'm betting some players didn't even notice the team join up and thus aren't in the pool to win. And you have to earn at least a point on a given day to get anything if the team wins. Either way you can pay to play the team game or just get in from purchases you already were making. Or skip it and see cards for profit. Or make badges to get inventory items. Many options. **TL:DR: Some good games on sale and a week left to go. It's probably less epic for you because you already own a large number of the games already.**

When I was in 6th or 7th grade, I was experimenting with electro-magnetism and wanted to build a door bell, which I had seen in a book. So I rigged the circuit, connected 4 AA cells and activated the bell, but nothing happened. Then I thought 6v was not enough and that I should try the wall outlet (220v where I live). So I take an extension cord connect it to the outlet next to my bed and the other end my circuit and turn the switch on. There was a "thud" sound and all the lights in my house blinked once. That's when I realized I had screwed up. I tried turning off the switch, but it had melted and gotten stuck. Then the extension cord burned from the wall outlet till my circuit and luckily the connection broke. Unfortunately none of this blew the fuse, but fortunately the bed didn't catch fire and I didn't get beaten up. Got to brag about it in school the day after. **TL;DR:** Almost burned my house down with an electrical short circuit.

So I rigged the circuit, connected 4 AA cells and activated the bell, but nothing happened. Then I thought 6v was not enough and that I should try the wall outlet (220v where I live). So I take an extension cord connect it to the outlet next to my bed and the other end my circuit and turn the switch on. There was a "thud" sound and all the lights in my house blinked once. That's when I realized I had screwed up. I tried turning off the switch, but it had melted and gotten stuck. Then the extension cord burned from the wall outlet till my circuit and luckily the connection broke. Unfortunately none of this blew the fuse, but fortunately the bed didn't catch fire and I didn't get beaten up. Got to brag about it in school the day after. TL;DR: Almost burned my house down with an electrical short circuit.

This reminds me of a man who came into my work. He seemed normal enough at first; He was dressed casually and carried his iPad with him. He questioned me about healthy options on our menu and when I offered him a drink he said, "I don't drink that garbage, do you know what's in that?" He leaned in and said, "Horse piss." I laughed, taking it as a joke...but he just stared with a serious look on his face. He continued, "...what else do they do with all of it? What do you think happens with all of the piss from people at LAX? Why would they get rid of it when they can sell it? That's why I shop at Trader Joe's; I know what's in the food. " This rant went on until his food came out. TLDR; Soda is made with pee...shop at Trader Joe's.

It's a big nasty mess. Samsung may come out first, they're a huge hardware company with a metric buttload of hardware engineers and resources. Oculus will come out of the gate with better support. There are already quite a number of Steam titles but they're not all really hot. The DK model seems to be the real success story here. If Samsung operates in oculus compatibility node, we're going to be in for quite a fight. IF VR catches on at a rate to sustain it's own development. I bought a 3D TV, I love it, the number of 3D sets out there is dwindling and i'm purchasing all I can right now because I suspect in the upcoming years that the consumer 3D content will cease to exist. TL;DR Maybe, but will it matter...

How would the use of a safe word ever be a bad idea? A combination of safe words would work along with gestures. You're never not unable to make a grunting or yelling sound and if someone is restrained (maybe out of the realm of what OP wants, but you never know), they certainly can't gesture effectively. Basically, know what to look for, know what to hear for if you're going to use safe words or gestures. That's part of the reason why they're there. If someone's looking the other way or has their eyes closed, they may not catch what you're trying to do 2 feet below their eyeline. TL;DR - you can make the same argument against going only with gestures. Use both to play it smart.

Once my little sister was waiting to order a hot dog at a hot dog stand for a long time, but the vendor kept ignoring her for some reason or she just sort of got lost in the crowd of people around the stand (she lets herself get pushed around a bit). My family and I were sitting a little ways off in a park, where she was in view, and after about twenty minutes my mother finally told me to check on her. I went to her and she was getting teary out of frustration and when I told her I could get the hot dog for her, she refused and shouted, "Screw you!" at the vendor. We go back to my parents and my sister is crying now because she's hungry but she doesn't want to go back to the "stupid hot dog guy" and at the end of her story she says, still sniffling and snotty, "But I guess it's okay since I screwed the man." TL;DR Little girl shouts "Screw you!" at hot dog vendor after she waits in line for too long, when retelling the story girl says, "I screwed the man" instead of "I yelled 'screw you' at the man."

my little sister was about 3 years old at the time, and my stepmom, her mom, recently told her what vitamin c was, how some fruits have it, which do, etc. so my dad picks me and my older sister up from school and we see her in the kitchen with her mom, eating grapefruit. she hugs us, says hi, etc. etc. and then asks her mom for more grapefruit. her mom says no, she keeps asking, "just one more," as she always says, and when tones of voice escalate, she just shouts, and i quote; "I NEED MY VITAMIN C!" me, my big sis, and my dad are just standing there, dying of laughter. it's become a small family joke. TL;DR: she wanted her vitamin c.

I was at the African Lion Safari (Safari type zoo in my area) and as we're driving up by some Zebras, my daughter, who was 9, says "ewwwww.. it's pooing", I look and it was not pooing, I look at my son, who's 7, with a smile from ear to ear, I ask him.. "son.. is it.. is it pooing?" He says, no dad, it's not.. I ask well what then (knowing full well) he says, "You don't want to know", I had to put the car in park, I laughed so hard. Then, my daughter, "Ewwwwwwww.. OMG OMG.. he's pooing on that... OMG", I took the car out of park and got the hell out of there. My daughter, traumatized, my son laughing manically. Classic. I had this on video, but I cannot find it anywhere. I have been looking for it for years. TLDR; My kids spotted an excited zebra, my daughter, 9, thought it was taking a dump, my son, 7, knew better, but didn't want to share.

After going to the "projects" in Ypsilanti MI to buy weed, our car died a few blocks away from our destination. We went and picked up the weed anyway because, well we were almost there, 21 years old, and not smart. The deal got super awkward when the guy selling it to us got in a fight with his girlfriend. She was pissed that people were coming over and smoking weed every few hours. We were smoking and it was so fucking awkward. Then his mom came in and joined the fight. We actually went out the window (first floor) and walked back to the car. We sat on the curb and waited for a friend to come and give us gas. This was 1999-2000ish so it took us a while to get ahold of anyone via pay phone. While we were sitting there, weed paranoia started setting in about being in a "bad" neighborhood. Along comes a very suburban, clean cut, all american family. when they got about 3 feet from us the youngest one, probably about 5, calmly but sharply says "Give me your wallet". Very adult and menacing. The parents said nothing, but they kept moving. Took us a while to figure out if that really happened. TL;DR: A little kid threatened to steal my wallet.

It's always possible that she could be studying part-time instead of full time. I know that my law school offers this option. She has also been a paralegal for about five years in one of the top law firms in New York. She knows her way around research and the law better than most of the Associates at her firm. That would certainly add to her ability to manage law school. Also, while it isn't the same, one girl in my class works as a nurse on top of studying for law. She also went out to a lot of social events. However, I don't think she did much studying. A lot of law students will download a set of CANs (condensed annotated notes) from the previous year and reference that while they speed-read through their readings. TL;DR - It's possible.

Hell fucking yes. I played a ranked game tonight that made me question why I play this game in general. I was ADCing and we gave up first blood to an admittedly amazing Lee Sin Gank. (From over river brush wall with a Q as I was trinketing river brush. I shake it off with a 'WP' in all chat but my Leona support will have none of it. "GG n00b adc" she says as she lets me die while running to the safety of tower. I tell her to calm down as its only first blood, but simultaneously our mid/jungler get counterganked and the Lee gets a double kill. Leona:"GG my team is so bad" and she ragequits. The game was terrible because I was playing 1v2 in lane and just trying to lasthit under tower but the other lanes did okay and we easily could have won with our support there. tl;dr never ragequit on your team early, especially if you are low. Pro teams blow HUGE early leads **cough cough Dignitas** **cough cough Baron**

TLDR; have respect for others on your team and respect for your opponents and resign games that are obviously lost. there is no honor in dragging a losing game out 3 hours.

Frankly, I'm confident that doing nothing will result in everyone still being able to use doge. I think it would make little business sense for them to lie to the public, when they could just be silent and draw less attention; also, I don't think they're stupid. However, you really never know. I'm not really against people keeping a close eye on them or trying to file against them, I just think it's paranoid to think it's likely that they are lying, faceless, cheating, evil, stupid company. TL;DR: I, personally, won't do anything because I think the odds are extremely low that they can or will do anything negative with the trademark. However, I'm for all shibes doing what they think is best as long as they are friendly and intelligent about it.

I, personally, won't do anything because I think the odds are extremely low that they can or will do anything negative with the trademark. However, I'm for all shibes doing what they think is best as long as they are friendly and intelligent about it.

The drama comes from whether or not what they did was.. iunno... moral or some shit. Iconic is mad butthurt about them releasing this JB on one of his exploits, (even tho he was never going to AFAIK, release for this iOS version). tl:dr These people (Pangu) underwent 'training' from iconic. They then use one of the 'bugs' (read: exploit) to release this JB.

I mean, when you're an ass to everyone for no reason, you should feel the sting of it yourself. I think /u/eightlimbs [said it best]( &gt; Y'know, I used to think that this community was a little too harsh on i0n1c. Sure he's a bit of a dick, but he's done some good work. But with this? This just proves that he's not just a bit of a dick, he's the whole shaft and both goddamn balls. Seriously what an asshat. First he gives away the exploit to people without an NDA or any kind of protection and then bitches that they predictably used it in a jailbreak and now he's lying about malware in something that's so far proven to be legit. Happy to be proven wrong about the legitimacy of PanGu btw, just saying as it stands right now, it's apparently completely legit. Anyway, tl;dr - i0n1c is a full on douche.

Career FG% in ATL where he played the vast majority of his time at PF was .464, this year where he played the majority of his minutes as SF he shot .419 - career worst season for FG%. He attempted more than 60 more 3pts playing for the Pistons than any other year he played - again more minutes at SF. Career 3P% in ATL is .283 where he only attempted more than 200 3's once, and that total was 201. As a Piston he shot 265 3's at .264 3P%. He had the second lowest rebounds total of his career (excluding his Rookie season when he only played 27 mins per game). He has played nearly 10 minutes more per game since his rookie year, that is why I excluded it. He also had his lowest Offensive Rebounding total in his career (I'll chalk a little bit of that up to Drummond being a MONSTER on the offensive glass). I don't have numbers for this because I don't know where to get numbers defensive numbers. But I watched at least 65 Pistons games this year and I wouldn't say he defends both well. Part of the reason people said he was a good defender when he was in ATL was because he was more athletic than a lot of other PFs - that gave him an advantage. Watching him guard some SFs this year was pretty painful. The majority of 3's are smaller and quicker than him. He defends the PF much better than the SF, from my eyes and others I have spoken to. But again... I don't have numbers for this... so it's just my opinion. So... **TL;DR:** I wouldn't say the only difference is his defensive assignment. He played out of position this year. His strength was being able to use his athletic ability against other PF's that weren't as athletic as him. Moving to the SF he loses that advantage.

I recently cut my arm open with a mirror while moving. Mine wasn't as nearly as bad. But if its not bleeding a lot its not an immediate life threatening issue. if you cut off your finger your not going to die. its just you have a small window to get it all re attached. As for his arm its just going to be more likely to get infected/disease the longer its exposed. TLDR;Theres always time to pose for a 3 sec picture.

We don't really have a bench right now, in other words there are no valuable trade pieces (in exchange for Lebron) from our bench. That means the pieces would come from out Starters. For what we give up to get Lebron, which would have to be a lot -- there wouldn't be much left to go around Lebron anyway. Even though you're getting one very good single player, the Blazers would be losing a lot of players that already play very well together. TLDR: Spurs didn't need Lebron, neither do the Blazers. We need a bench.
