Fair points. I totally expect some people to disagree with what I'm saying because of that. But personally I'm not exactly trying to say what IS or ISN'T black or white culture, rather I'm using aspects of both urban/suburban cultures to talk about whether one can be better or worse than another and if it even matters. In other words, I'm not saying that all Black people speak in Ebonics (really though, we're talking about poor urban people in general but that group is generally associated with Blacks), I'm saying that if someone were to speak in Ebonics it shouldn't matter unless you legitimately don't understand them. This movie is really personal so the reasons and stories that gave me these ideas are also personal. I grew up hanging out with poor urban kids (both Black and White) in my neighborhood and "regular" suburban kids in class. In my experience, they were all able to communicate with each other yet both of them considered the "regular" kids way of speaking to be the better way of speaking. I'd actually say society on the whole thinks that "Ebonics" is a lesser form of English. In my opinion the issue with appropriation begins there. Miley twerks because she knows suburban parents look down on it. Iggy Azalea adopts the Blaccent because she knows it'll make her sound hard. There are so many issues surrounding race and culture in the US that you could make a number of feature films on them and still not really get a chance to say everything. Zero Copula is specifically about how we judged people based on how they talk, dance, and the music they listen to. The switch is specifically urban/suburban and not black/white. It's really more of a class issue than a race issue but you can't talk about class in the US without talking about race. Tl;dr The movie isn't saying "this is black culture, let's all do it", it's ONLY saying not to belittle people for sounding urban or liking urban things.

I think that's true throughout the history of the US but now it's not so clearly because it's by Black people as much as lower class uneducated people. The problem to me is that lower class people are disproportionately Black. So when the defense of George Zimmerman attacks Trayvon's character by labeling him a thug the majority of America will reevaluate the situation. Sure, it wasn't that Trayvon was Black but that he was suspicious and thug-like. Clearly it's not a race issue, right? But when you ask what it is to be "thug-like" you'll find that the description includes a lot of aspects of poor urban culture that don't necessarily have anything to do with being violent or malicious. Even though everyone has guilty pleasures and things they like just because they like them, if the things you like are urban then suddenly you aren't as smart, aren't as good, aren't as much of a good person. If I like chopped and screwed music and like girls who twerk, like legit twerk to Uncle Luke, and the only shoes I wear are jordans then suddenly I have bad taste and people are going to think much less of me. You don't have to be Black to like these things and liking these things don't make you Black so you can't say it's racist to think that way. BUT, you can say it's elitist and still wrong to dismiss the culture by showing that there isn't anything objectively lesser about it. If we can show people that it's not an OK way of thinking I think THEN we can talk about the racial implications of the attack on culture but people are going to deny that it's classist or racist until we can show them that it's wrong to begin with. Basically, the fact that we have a Black president and segregation was a few generations ago means that it's OK to judge minorities by the majority standards. You have to be really careful about "pulling the race card" because there are ways to defend racism via reasons xyz where the reasons aren't necessarily racist but have racist implications. Tl; dr I don't think that people think rap is lesser music because Black people made it but because poor people made it but ultimately we have to ask ourselves, when we talk about poor people in the US who are we REALLY talking about?

I don't know who made this, but at least some of the items are misleading. For instance, the claim that there is a shortfall of 38,000 crores in money allocated to SC/ST welfare, because SC/ST population is ~25% and the amount allocated is only 16% of the budget. This would be true, if all the other money allocated in the budget was for higher castes and OBCs **only**, but that is not true! That money is allocated without any consideration to castes, while the SC/ST allocation is targeted specifically for that sector only. The right thing to say is, that SC/ST welfare was allocated 15.8 % of ~~16,65,297 crores, which comes to ~263,000 crores, a number that is 50,000 crores larger than the defense budget! Or an extra Rs 8766 being allocated for every SC/ST man/woman/child!~~ the **development budget**, which comes up to around 50,000 crores, or an extra Rs 2000 being allocated for every SC/ST man/woman/child! **TLDR;** This neat graphic is misleading and probably made by politician types with a specific outcome in mind.

Is this job going to be on your resume? If not, I'd just walk away. Being treated this way and letting it happen makes it worse for the next guy taking your job. If all act like doormats, we all get treated like doormats. Tell her your feelings and quit on the spot. $8/hr isn't remotely worth this shit. That's McDonalds wages for educated tech labor? Hell, the rate alone should piss you off. When I worked as a student, long ago, it was at least 10+ bucks and hour and I double-dipped and did my homework and graded papers for another 10+ an hour. Some days I'd do nothing but grade and answer the occasional helpdesk phone call on a slow weekend. Almost $25/hr there combined almost a decade ago. $8 in 2014? Fuck that noise. >Our university president is on a mission to save the school money Oh, I'm sure sports and other bullshit are immune from that. I wouldn't be surprised if that's an outright lie. Right now education is greatly overpriced and every 18 yo kid is signing onto 20+ years of massive debt. Endowments, new construction, teacher wages, athletic dept budgets, administrative wages, etc are at record highs. This guy you're training is probably sitting on a cush 80 or 90k a year job. Your salary is a rounding error on his. tldr; They have the cash, they are just choosing to not spend it on you. Fuck em if this isnt going on your resume.

You could definitely make a flat roof that's under 13'6" and then have metal rails that you can screw in and unscrew for travel. One idea is making a slightly angled roof (10-20°) with added weather proofing, which is needed for water run off. Then you could have a flat wooden desk on top of the roof for added protection, so you basically have a second roof, like solar panels over an existing roof. This could be with an A-frame roof (first ascii drawing) or Mono-pitched roof (second drawing) ____________ ..--""""--.. _____________ ..--"" ..--"" One thing I considered when I was making designs for a flat roof is how it's accessed. If it's accessed on the side, outside, of the house it's easier and cheaper. Otherwise you'd have to make a weather proof hatch to access it from inside, but it'd be cooler and more secure to make it that way. In the end I decided not to make a flat roof, because I live in a northern climate and additional weatherproofing would have been more work than it's worth. For a climate like Florida I'd definitely go with a deck roof. **TL;DR** Flat roofs cost more because of added weatherproofing to avoid leaking, but it's a great idea.

Besides the honesty issue, all we have here is an article on the study and the abstract, not the actual study with data and all the valuable information yet. We don't even know for sure which country it was done in yet. I'm suspecting Hungary though...and as we know different cultures treat height differently. We've seen in the past that articles written about studies can often be very misleading for the sake of creating an interesting eye-grabbing headline. For example a study that "proved" short man syndrome was real according to various headlines... That study was done on 60 women who already had experienced paranoia and documented if they felt more paranoid after they had been shrunk 10 inches in a virtual world. Not quite the same as what all the headlines and articles made it out to be. The journalists twisted the study to be something it wasn't. That's not the fault of the researchers either of course, but the "journalists" writing the article who didn't even bother to read the study or try to understand it...or maybe they did and are just dishonest, who knows. **TL;DR** - There are too many factors still unknown for this article to be taken too seriously yet. Once we can read through the full study we'll have a much better idea as to whether the article's claims are misleading or not.

just a brief dip into history for context, since i guess that's my job now: there have been a lot of huge, polarizing conflicts in the history of eve. lots of times where wartime coalitions have formed to larger threats than one alliance could face. most notably, "the coalition" for the great wars against bob, the drf, the attacking forces in the tribute war... as i said, several times. there's nothing particularly new or unique about forming a coalition to achieve a military victory the problem is pretty simple: every time one of those other coalitions formed, after the conflict they formed for was over, they went about their business. in some cases, they reset each other and then shredded the living shit out of each other until there wasn't enough of any of them left to band together to defend what space they held before (see: DRF). every time a coalition formed for a huge, polarizing conflict, after it was over they remembered their old differences and how much fun it is to be an independent alliance controlling your own destiny, shook hands with their coalition partners and parted ways. the exception, obviously, was the northern coalition - rallied around shiva and morsus mihi after bob rolled over shiva's former alliance, the fountain alliance, they tested their mettle in the first great war, then spent the better part of 5 years resting on their laurels from pure blind to geminate. the nc was never known for their military competence, just their ability to throw down staggering numbers of bodies in kitchensink fleets, but back in those days that was plenty. the northern coalition stayed together after the war ended, not to further mutual military interests and conquer more space, but as a very loosely organized mutual defense pact - thousands of shitty pvpers with no organization stand much better chances against outside threats than hundreds, no? what mittens has done is taken many former northern coalition members and other similar groups, supplied them with a coalition with the same mentality (you can bear and be chill and hang with us but come to war with us when we need you pls), streamlined the organization into a strict hegemony with gsf at the top, and militarized them with formal pvp objectives and doctrines, for expansionist purposes, i.e. to make more money * all these arguments about how n3pl is a giant coalition and cfc needs their numbers to fight them have got the entire situation backwards in a roundabout sort of way. i'll expound. first let me get this out of the way: renter empires are now how coalitions make money for their war chests, and all three of the big ones have sprawling renter empires, where previously n3 controlled modest amounts of space and pl controlled almost none, instead choosing to aggressively pursue money moons in whoever's space they fell in. that's not the state of the game anymore, and the players have adapted. anyhow, moving on from the shitty "space controlled" discussion: n3 formed in early 2013 to fight solar, other russian alliances, as well as FA and RZR, members of the CFC, in the southeast. after that fight was over, n3 redeployed for the summer war in fountain to back test, as fountain was the only place where there was content. test's former hbc allies pl also made appearances there, backing their longtime friends ncdot after *that* conflict ended, the halloween war was sparked when n3 returned home to the southeast to clear out the resurgent rus forces from their homelands and cfc arrived to play "honourable third parties." pl backed n3 for the sake of game balance - without pl's help, n3 would be crushed, and without n3 in the game, pl wouldn't be able to fight off the cfc if they came knocking **tl;dr**: n3pl formed as a coalition to combat the game-breaking behemoth that the cfc has become. mittens built his coalition so large that it's polarized the rest of the game against him out of existential necessity, not the other way around. this has been meowtiger with your spin check of the day

You don't always need a manager. I had something like this happen to me one time as well. I went out for drinks with an old female friend of mine and it just so happened that when we walked in the door this server (I called him a waiter at one point and he got mad and told me he's a "bartender") was right there and walked over to her and put his hand on her waist and spoke in this really creepy, overly familiar way with her, like he was putting on a show. He led her to a table still with his hand on her hips, and I asked her what the deal was with that, so she told me that the guy and her had gone out for a couple of dates in the past, but that he dumped her to go back out with his ex. I told her if she was uncomfortable we could leave, but we got a different server so she said it would be fine. But about 15 minutes into the night, I guess the guy told our female server that he wanted to serve our table and made her switch and he started bringing over glasses of whiskey (unasked) and fed them to us, which I kind of enjoyed since I like whiskey and my friend said she'd be fine with him taking over. He then said something about how we were on a date so I went along with it, so that he wouldn't try anything else like putting his hand on her waist again. I thought that would be that and he went away for a while, but when I came back from the washroom at one point he was sitting in my seat and clearly trying to rekindle the flame. He stood up and took off when I came back and she told me how he had hit on her as soon as I'd gone down to the washroom, so I floated the idea of leaving again, but I think she didn't want to let that guy ruin our time. He came back almost immediately with more whiskey and just dropped it off at the table and kind of left us alone, dropping off more whiskey as the night went bu. But a bit later in the night when she went downstairs to use the washroom he cornered her in the basement in front of the stairs and said: "Hey, whatever happened between us, I thought we had such great *sexual* chemistry," etc. "You got back together with your girlfriend," she told him and then pushed passed him up the stairs. She told me all of this when she came back to the table, so we asked the girl who started the night serving us if we could have our bills. Instead of bringing them to us the guy came over and told us that he'd paid for it all. We were the last two people in the bar that night and so before leaving I went down to the bathroom one last time in a whiskey fuelled bout of righteous indignation and decided that if he was going to disrespect my friend like that, I was going to make him spend the rest of the night cleaning the bathroom. So, like I said, whiskey drunk (which is important to point out), I pulled out my dick and pissed all over the washroom because fuck that guy. I pissed all over walls, all over the toilet, all over the garbage can, all over the floors, and then just walked off. The only thing that makes me feel a little bad is when I think that the girl who wasn't a creep may have been the one who had to clean it up. But that's what happens when you feed someone whiskey and then get all date-rapey with their friends. TL;DR - Date-rapey server.

haha you got it all figured out. She's actually with me because I never once tried to impress her. I treat her like a human being not a prize. Shes my absolute best friend and someone that I wouldn't trade the world for. I've went through a lot of shit relationships with shitty people and one day she just happens to show up out of nowhere. I'm actually not beta as fuck I just don't find the need to prove that my dicks bigger. I already have the girl and trust me I have this girl. it's not because I'm a showoff prick or think I know how to treat a girl it's because I like to learn from my mistakes and become a better person. I've been through a lot in life, a lot of shit that typically makes people shitty and bitter to the world. But i've used my life experiences and humbling life lessons towards making myself a better person. I don't treat her like a prize I treat her like someone I want to learn and grow with and luckily i've found someone that wants to do the same with me. It's nice to finally be with someone that is like minded in that with me, not afraid to make mistakes or be sorry for hurting feelings. someone that's willing to look at the things they do wrong and do better from them. for once I'm not dating a immature child. See the thing is I have confidence. I like how you think good job/position is what would keep me with her. Look at my history I drive a 16 year old honda CRV. I own my own home. I have a mortgage and some student loans. My job is at best average IT career but I love it. I don't make Buku dollar or flaunt some fake ass image. I love my life and I have confidence in the life i live. Trust me when the smoke clears and you're on your death bed with all your things, your life will have sucked. Things/money/status don't make you rich relationships with good compassionate people make you rich because like it or not nobodies going to remember you so pass on good things while you're around. be something positive in this world. if you wanna keep a girl find one that accepts you for exactly who you are, don't put on a show, act like a dick or whatever you may think being Alpha is. Just be confident in yourself. TL:DR Fuck you

> That's retarded. We all do stuff for other people. Be it wearing nicer clothes when going on a date, wearing perfume/cologne, etc... Yeah, if you don't care enough about yourself to work out for *yourself*, then the odds are that you're not going to be able to actually *care* about anyone else. tl;dr: If you can't bring yourself to love you, how the hell are you going to be able to love anyone else? That's just fucking stupid right there.

Love everything about Big Bad Breakfast, except the wait. I'm not talking about the wait to be seated. I mean the wait to get the food after you have ordered. I've been there twice, once on a Tuesday, and another time on a Sunday. The long wait to be seated is expected with the popularity, and honestly, it's not that bad of a wait. When it takes an hour to get the food after it's been ordered, it tends to be an issue especially if you have small children with you. Now the food is tremendous. I just wish they could pick up the pace with bringing the food out. TLDR: time between food ordered and food arrival equals fussy children Edited for typo: an for am

The gas service itself is provided by Atlanta Gas Light. They have a monopoly as the provider. You must choose a company to bill you; if you don't choose, one is randomly selected for you. Why? The different services like Scana, Ga Natural Gas, and so forth, were created when the state government demanded an end to the Natural Gas monopoly in Georgia and forced what used to be one monopolist service provider and billing service to deregulate. The one unified monopoly (which used to be called Georgia Natural Gas) was split into a single service provider (Atlanta Gas Light) and a bunch of different Gas billing agencies who bill for the one monopolistic provider (Atlanta Gas Light). I have used several of the different billing services and they all are basically sub-par services. You'll pay at least $20 per month just for the billing even if you don't use a single therm of Natural Gas during the month. There's a fee to set up an account to discourage you from disconnecting service in the summer (if you just have gas heat). At one time, you could pay a Scana bill in Athens in person rather than having to drive pretty far outside of town. Scana also had fairly progressive ideas about automatic billing ang online ability to reference your account, but I think they all have caught up today. It's not generally worth agonizing over the service if you generally pay your bill on time. Want to get gas connected? Disconnected? Need to your meter read? Smell the sulfurous smell that you have a leak? All of the actual service will be done by Atlanta Gas Light, but you can't get them to actually bill you. **Tl;dr** I'm saving up to go all electric, but they all stink as billing providers though. Find one that is the cheapest if billing features make no difference; the Gas service itself is the same.

Smell the sulfurous smell that you have a leak? All of the actual service will be done by Atlanta Gas Light, but you can't get them to actually bill you. Tl;dr I'm saving up to go all electric, but they all stink as billing providers though. Find one that is the cheapest if billing features make no difference; the Gas service itself is the same.

The gas service itself is provided by Atlanta Gas Light. They have a monopoly as the provider. You must choose a company to bill you; if you don't choose, one is randomly selected for you. Why? The different services like Scana, Ga Natural Gas, and so forth, were created when the state government demanded an end to the Natural Gas monopoly in Georgia and forced what used to be one monopolist service provider and billing service to deregulate. The one unified monopoly (which used to be called Georgia Natural Gas) was split into a single service provider (Atlanta Gas Light) and a bunch of different Gas billing agencies who bill for the one monopolistic provider (Atlanta Gas Light). I have used several of the different billing services and they all are basically sub-par services. You'll pay at least $20 per month just for the billing even if you don't use a single therm of Natural Gas during the month. There's a fee to set up an account to discourage you from disconnecting service in the summer (if you just have gas heat). At one time, you could pay a Scana bill in Athens in person rather than having to drive pretty far outside of town.

I think it greatly depends on the context—can you give any? I have a bit of experience with anxiety, so I'll give my own perspective on this. I sometimes feel like I'm being invalidated when people act a certain way about aspects of myself that I'm critical of. Example: I'm conscious of my weight, and I am undeniably NOT at a healthy weight. When people say things like "Oh, you're fine, you don't need to lose weight," I honestly feel a bit insulted that they're so dismissive of my concerns. It's meant as a compliment, but comes off as "I know best, and you don't. Your concerns are invalid." People also did this in college when I was stressed over classes ("Oh but why would you worry, you're just so *smart* that you will get an A+!") and it just rubs me the wrong way. tl:dr—Don't be dismissive of another person's insecurities. Compliments are lovely, but you can't fix someone by throwing praise at them.

I like it. I think it is a great helmet for the price. The biggest downside for me is the face shield. If you want to wear goggles with the helmet you have to remove it, when it is up it is still in your field of view, and it is a pain to remove and swap with my clear one. The helmet is also kind of bulky and heavy, but it's not too bad and that is too be expected at that price point. It has a lot of ventilation, which is nice, it's comfortable once you break in the padding, and it looks bad ass. TL;DR: Worth it.

Just an important reminder when tinkering, your serpentine belt tensioner main bolt is reverse thread. I've seen too many that were busted due to lack of knowledge. And proper brake servicing haha. Since s2k is single piston it requires a little harder of a pad, so they're prone to squealing under lighter brake applications. Molykote 77 is awesome possum, in between all contact points. Silicone lube the sliders after cleaning off the old stuff. And don't forget to get rid of all the rusty colours. TL; DR do your research on everything and observe all the different techniques

Basically, this is how drugs work. Okay, you know your brain? That little grey lump of squishiness inside your cranium? That usually only works in certain ways. You usually only have a certain amount of interest in the life cycle of a giraffe. For most people, the amount of interest that your brain usually has in this subject is in the medium to low range. How drugs work is they take the metaphorical sleeping bear that is your brain and kinda poke it with a stick. Suddenly (or not so suddenly, depending on your poison) your brain works in a new and mysterious way. Some aspects of how the clump of goo that determines "you" can be magnified and some can be dampened, just like the bear's sense of relaxation is gone while it's desire to tear you to bits and then feed you to its children. Okay, so remember that thing about giraffes? So, take the right kind of drug and suddenly the life cycle about giraffes seems like the tightest shit. This is because the area of your brain that was already interested in giraffes was suddenly given a promotion from this-really-doesn't-matter to the-tightest-shit. However, this is just one thing and drugs can often affect many parts of your brain simultaneously and in different ways. One of the areas in which marijuana can magnify a certain aspect of your brain is your connection to a sense of spirituality. You know another one? Curiosity. So, when someone says that marijuana increases their experience watching Cosmos it is because it quantifiably does. Now, that doesn't mean it will for everyone. Everyone who watches Cosmos will enjoy it for different reasons and will receive different emotions from it. Not all of those will fit well with the effects of marijuana, or any other drug, for that matter. However, that doesn't mean that people who watch it high cannot experience the same feelings without it. Again, drugs don't actually add or take away parts of the brain like a lego set, the mush it around and redistribute like a newborn with a wad of playdough. The actual feelings aren't changed, just the amount of feeling. Edit: tl;dr - no one "needs" weed to watch Cosmos. But some people feel that the ways in which it changes their brain lead to an even greater experience, not necessarily that their experience (without weed) is somehow less genuine than yours.

Congrats to your brother! I proposed in a similar way, except I put the sign next to a grass field. Told my (now) wife engine was running rough and we should put the plane down as soon as possible to be safe. Asked for her help locating a field, knowing the grass one was only one around. She picked it out and I did normal landing pattern/maneuvers. When she saw the sign I did go-around (wasn't really planning on landing in the field nor do I think I was allowed to land a rental in a field). Local news picked it up and spun it as risky pilot fakes crash landing to propose. Pilots came to my defense (thanks folks!) commenting on the story with remarks like "biggest danger you were in was getting beat with your flight bag after landing". Either way it makes for a neat story. Very cool they'll have a fun answer to "how'd you pop the question"! **tl;dr;** I proposed in a similar way using normal landing/go-around maneuvers over grass field, general public thought it was risky/reckless, pilots knew it fine, she said yes and now we have a good story.

I answered the questions, but with a twist - I picked "cups gape", at which point many similar programs/websites suggest going for a smaller cup. Panache didn't. I was pleasantly surprised when I was then led further to a question about wire width. I answered "wires dig in" because all my bras are genuinely too narrow for me. The diagnosis was then "too small cups". TL;DR: They correctly diagnosed an orange-in-a-glass from the questionaire. Thumbs up in this regard, most fail to do this.

This article was full of flat-out bullshit. The study had nothing to do with what women find attractive in men, and it also had nothing to do with weight. It was focused solely on whether men in different countries found women more appealing with more feminine feature or more masculine features. Also, even though the study use men from all over the world and of different races, the women in the pictures they viewed were all Caucasian. To top that off, only about 2000 men from 28 countries participated in the study. That's a sample size of about 71 men per country, pretty small number. tl;dr, there's nothing really conclusive in this study and whatever gibbon they have writing for jezebel can't read.

I wasn't able to get through college because of my math skills. My high school math curriculum was so fucked I had to take a math placement class and absolutely bombed it because math skills that were required for getting into college level math classes were not required, or even touched on. The high school I went and the Community College I was attempting to get through were about 5 miles apart, tops, in a fairly dense city. Essentially, I was taking all the classes you would expect a general studies student to be taking (and doing well), and a math class a borderline grade 8 or 9 student would be taking. I even had a classmate I had in grade 8. After bombing that class again and passing everything else, I had to re-take the same class again, and moved up in everything else. After trying tutors, studying with classmates, all nighters etc., guess what, 3rd time is NOT the charm. There was such a gap between my math skills and everything else they told me I had to retake the class (4th time if you count me taking it in grade school) but would have to wait to catch up before taking more classes. What they were telling me was I had 3 semesters of remedial math I had to take before I could start on college level classes (of any of the other subjects) again, and still had to take 3 (I think) levels of college math to graduate, no matter if my degree needed it or not. Basically, you have to basically power learn a year and half's worth of your obvious worst subject to continue your education. Fuck that. TL:DR 3 Strikes and I'm out. Math is not my strong suit because of High School curriculum and kept me from a degree.

With your budget you can easily get that done with a rcbs rock chucket supreme and have money left over for components and extraneous goodies like an electronic powder measure or case prep station... If your pumping out volume and not so much precision rounds I would go with a dillion (550 I beleive) because it is a multi stage rotary press that performs 4-5 functions with every pull of the handle. It will take longer to get used to and more attention needs to be paid while reloading due to multiple steps being performed simultaneously, if there presses are anything like their mini guns I would go Dillon every day. Tl;Dr go RCBS for single stage or Dillon for volume.

There used to be a regular at the bar I worked at who all the staff called "Sparkles". At first this guy seemed innocent enough. He would come in and sit at the bar and drink our free coffee for a couple hours then go home. We called him "Sparkles" because of the unusual clothes he used to wear. Usually his outfit would consist of tight sweatpants, a very over the top sparkly shirt, a ring on every finger, and some sort of paper-boy hat. Sparkles began to come to my bar almost everyday and most of the other bartenders did not enjoy his company. I didn't understand why at first so when he came in during my shifts I started chatting him up and trying to be friendly. He was an older gentleman and was quite eccentric so I figured he was just lonely and looking for someone to talk to. Soon enough Sparkles started showing up at 10am every morning that I was working. I didn't think much of it at first. I was the only bartender willing to talk to him anyway. One morning as I am finishing my opening duties, Sparkles begins howling away some opera for no apparent reason. I tell him he has a lovely voice (trying to be polite) He seemed pretty happy about it. The following day, without fail, Sparkles is there waiting patiently for me to open the bar but this time he has a plastic bag full of stuff with him. He comes over to the bar and starts rifling through his bag. He takes out a bunch of jewellery and a CD. He calls me over and tells me he got me all this jewellery and he also made me a CD of his opera singing. Ok, this is a nice gesture...I think. I smile and say thank you. I opened the CD and inside the cover is a picture of Sparkles and on the back he has written "I love you" in chicken scratch. Oh wow. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I just tried to laugh it off as if it were a joke, which I realize now was not, but he just sat there smiling contentedly. This continued for about a week. Everyday more jewellery, poems, CDs of his "wonderful" opera singing, and the like. Some days he would just stare at me unrelentingly. I started to get very creeped out and a bit annoyed as he became a distraction from my usual patrons. I didn't know how to politely tell Sparkles that his gestures were becoming a bit unnerving. One night after a long shift at my bar I decided I would go out for a drink. I headed over to another local bar where I knew the staff quite well. The bartender working was a good friend of mine and now had to be my sounding board for the night. The moment I mentioned Sparkles she knew immediately who I was talking about. She then begins to tell me that Sparkles had been banned from her bar maybe a month ago (right when he started showing up at mine). The same thing had happened to a server at her bar...only weirder and a bit more disturbing. Sparkles was so infatuated with this one server that he started painting naked pictures of her and gifting them to her. He even proposed they get married! This is when he was removed and banned from the bar. Well at this point I knew what needed to be done before I started receiving my own masterpieces. The next opening shift, sure enough, Sparkles is parked outside the bar awaiting my arrival. I play it cool at first and let him come in. I walked in to the back office and alerted my manager of the whole situation. She was all to pleased to kick him out (she had some disdain for him already because he only ever drank free coffee). As she is escorting Sparkles out I notice him turn back around and give me a ripe old scowl. I did feel a bit of guilt for getting him banned from our bar as well but I wasn't ready to see what he had planned next for me. A couple days later I get a phone call at work. Guess who it is. I answer the phone with a bit of apprehension. Sparkles furiously tells me he wants all of his jewellery back and his CDs. I am all to happy to comply. Then in a very serious tone of voice says "You could have been my bride. You could have had our children and lived in my house". Click. Dear god. Who knows what would have happened if I hadn't shut this down. I am just thankful I never have to find out. TLDR; Had an older very eccentric man come to the bar where I worked every time I was working. He started giving me jewellery, CDs and pictures of himself. Found out from another bartender in town he was painting naked pictures of the girls from the bar. Got him banned from mine in hopes of avoiding my own naked portrait.

There used to be a regular at the bar I worked at who all the staff called "Sparkles". At first this guy seemed innocent enough. He would come in and sit at the bar and drink our free coffee for a couple hours then go home. We called him "Sparkles" because of the unusual clothes he used to wear. Usually his outfit would consist of tight sweatpants, a very over the top sparkly shirt, a ring on every finger, and some sort of paper-boy hat. Sparkles began to come to my bar almost everyday and most of the other bartenders did not enjoy his company. I didn't understand why at first so when he came in during my shifts I started chatting him up and trying to be friendly. He was an older gentleman and was quite eccentric so I figured he was just lonely and looking for someone to talk to. Soon enough Sparkles started showing up at 10am every morning that I was working. I didn't think much of it at first. I was the only bartender willing to talk to him anyway. One morning as I am finishing my opening duties, Sparkles begins howling away some opera for no apparent reason. I tell him he has a lovely voice (trying to be polite) He seemed pretty happy about it. The following day, without fail, Sparkles is there waiting patiently for me to open the bar but this time he has a plastic bag full of stuff with him. He comes over to the bar and starts rifling through his bag. He takes out a bunch of jewellery and a CD. He calls me over and tells me he got me all this jewellery and he also made me a CD of his opera singing. Ok, this is a nice gesture...I think. I smile and say thank you. I opened the CD and inside the cover is a picture of Sparkles and on the back he has written "I love you" in chicken scratch. Oh wow. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I just tried to laugh it off as if it were a joke, which I realize now was not, but he just sat there smiling contentedly. This continued for about a week. Everyday more jewellery, poems, CDs of his "wonderful" opera singing, and the like. Some days he would just stare at me unrelentingly. I started to get very creeped out and a bit annoyed as he became a distraction from my usual patrons. I didn't know how to politely tell Sparkles that his gestures were becoming a bit unnerving. One night after a long shift at my bar I decided I would go out for a drink. I headed over to another local bar where I knew the staff quite well. The bartender working was a good friend of mine and now had to be my sounding board for the night. The moment I mentioned Sparkles she knew immediately who I was talking about. She then begins to tell me that Sparkles had been banned from her bar maybe a month ago (right when he started showing up at mine). The same thing had happened to a server at her bar...only weirder and a bit more disturbing. Sparkles was so infatuated with this one server that he started painting naked pictures of her and gifting them to her. He even proposed they get married! This is when he was removed and banned from the bar. Well at this point I knew what needed to be done before I started receiving my own masterpieces. The next opening shift, sure enough, Sparkles is parked outside the bar awaiting my arrival. I play it cool at first and let him come in. I walked in to the back office and alerted my manager of the whole situation. She was all to pleased to kick him out (she had some disdain for him already because he only ever drank free coffee). As she is escorting Sparkles out I notice him turn back around and give me a ripe old scowl. I did feel a bit of guilt for getting him banned from our bar as well but I wasn't ready to see what he had planned next for me. A couple days later I get a phone call at work. Guess who it is. I answer the phone with a bit of apprehension. Sparkles furiously tells me he wants all of his jewellery back and his CDs. I am all to happy to comply. Then in a very serious tone of voice says "You could have been my bride. You could have had our children and lived in my house". Click. Dear god. Who knows what would have happened if I hadn't shut this down. I am just thankful I never have to find out.

It's not at all theft. In any way. As I said, theft is a very different thing. It's an actual crime. If you steal something from someone else you've physically deprived them of that thing. That does not happen with piracy. It's a different thing completely, though still wrong to do. Calling it theft doesn't help anything, though, because the voice of the media industries are already overwhelmingly heard on the subject and are mocked almost universally for [their frantic exaggerations.]( They aren't being deprived of anything at all. There's some studies showing that pirated media can lead to increased profits for the work being pirated (especially in music, but also for movies and the like). The question of monetary loss is arguable. It's not as simple as stealing an apple. A physical object cannot just be perfectly copied freely by anyone. Digital media can. tl;dr - It's not theft. It's something else that's still wrong. This is kinda like saying someone raped your wallet from you after you got robbed. Different things.

Morality is not an appropriate topic for philosophical review. Rather philosophers can only account for ethical utility and the ability for individuals to operate knowingly for the common-good. In knowing that ethical utility is the only means of measuring or auditing "goodness" it seems a bit strange that one's mental faculties would preclude them from being ethical or not. Because intelligence is effectively a measurement, crude though it be, of an individual's ability to perceive, analyse, and manipulate a system it cannot be an essentialized trait. Rather intelligence is a trait that allows an individual to impose their will in a more effectual manner, and this will can either be ethical or not-ethical. So in a sense an intelligent person will always bear more responsibility for their actions, good or bad, than an un-intelligent person because they can simply comprehend and carry-out their agenda with more self-awareness. In a sense intelligence is a measure of individual power that could be considered akin to personal wealth. Just as individuals with great wealth have a greater ethical responsibility to society, so too do intelligent people hold a personal responsibility. Those who have less ability are inherently less equipped to operate in a knowingly ethical manner and thus cannot be expected to operate with the same level of self-aware manipulation of ethical concepts. In summation No. Intelligence is not required for ethical behavior, but intelligence does provide greater opportunity, and responsibility, for ethical behavior. In contrast the less power one has, in this case intellect, the less ability they have to enact ethical change on society, and thus have a much lower threshold of ethically culpable behavior. TLDR: The smarter you are the more ethical, or unethical, you can be.

I picked up vaping as another geeky hobby. I had no desire to quit smoking. I loved smoking. I chain smoked whenever I could. I had about 7 pipes that I kept in rotation. I smoked them all everyday when I got home. Add in 1-3 packs a day when I was out of the house and I was ALWAYS smoking. I bought an ecig and it replaced my pipes while I was at home, mostly because it was a new toy. Then, since I was allowed to use it inside at work, I stayed inside and vaped instead of going on smoke breaks. I'd still smoke in the car, or a couple of times a day, until, all of the sudden, I realized that I left my pack of cigs in my center console. Then I realized they've been in there for a couple days. After work, I light up and drive home. After a few drags, all I could taste was this disgusting burning. I toss it out the window and light up another, same thing. So I just vaped that night. The next day I light up, gag, out the window. On the way home I light up, gag, out the window. Give it a couple days, same result. Tried again. Same result. I finished out the pack doing this. I go home and take my favorite pipe and my absolute favorite special occasion tobacco. Tastes like burning and I dump the bowl. I spent $60 on a toy that made several hundred dollars worth of pipes and high grade tobacco taste like crap. I was quite angry. That was 1.5 years ago, I haven't had a cigarette since. I'm almost to 0nic also through zero effort. As I upgraded my gear my nicotine tolerance dropped, and then kept dropping, and dropping even between upgrades. Now I'm even downgrading my power. I went from 50 watts 3 mg bare minimum enjoyable vape to 15watts as my standard allday. Soon I'll be back down to cartomizer wattage and I'll be able to persue new geeky hobbies with a low maintenence vape setup to keep me from ever having to think about smoking again. TL;DR: I accidentally quit smoking in 2 weeks by vaping. What made it stick was that vaping kept me away from tobacco long enough for my sense of taste to come back. Once I realized that cigs, pipes, and cigars taste like asshole, boom, smoke free for 1.5yrs. Edit to answer more of your questions: yes I know people who quit vaping. As far as side effects, I have super human sense of taste and smell, I smell like watermelon, pear, or custard, I haven't had my seasonal sinus infections since I quit smoking, I haven't been sick, excluding a parasite from an unwashed salad, and I don't wake up in the middle of the night hacking and wheezing so hard I can't breathe and give myself a migraine

To be fair, they don't really matter for the kinds of calculations most people are interested in doing. But, they make a big difference for certain color configurations. At a high level, they matter because you can't roll exactly the same set of colors. So if I know what you are starting off with, that tells me a little bit about what's likely to happen after you roll your first chromatic orb, because I know that you can't end up with the exact same set of colors. This makes a big difference if you're trying to make an estimate of what'll happen after a few chromatic orbs, but matters less and less as you increase that number. In most cases, it won't make much of a difference at all. But now that you mention it, it looks like the median calculations aren't taking the current color information into account... ~~Gonna go fix that.~~ Edit: Fixed! Edit: tl;dr They don't matter all that much. But including the current color makes the calculations ever so slightly more accurate and part of my goal here was to create as accurate an estimate as possible, so I included it as an option.

Aw, shucks. Thanks! And you are definitely right! All bluster aside it is extremely important to allow yourself to confront emotions in a healthy way. Prior to the gym, I went to visit the High Priestess of the Whey who inducted me into the proper worship of Brodin. My mother is not only so amazingly understanding of my struggle with depression, but indeed she can to this day work me into the ground effortlessly. Lo! We had a long discussion on the nature of infidelity. Long was it, focusing on the nature of that particular Face of Broki. How it is always about the cheater and their selfishness, and that no one deserves such a fate. After our talk, she delivered unto me a hearty pre workout meal, and dispatched me to the Temple! TLDR; Feelings are important. Exercise is a great way to deal with them, but reaching out to a loved one is equally as important!

Well first you have to travel. Our modern cars are best raised on a varied staple of worldly parts. Personally I like to gather the engine parts from Germany, the electronics from Japan, the plastics from Malaysia, and if I'm feeling crazy I'll get the drive train from the Midwestern USA. When its all done you bring it to mexico. They have some great trainers and assemblers there. They'll walk you through it, even have some useful books on it. When the car is put together you'll bring it home and continue the hardest part of raising a car. Breaking it in. You'll want to drive it like you stole it but you can't go above 3500 rpm for the first 4000 km. After that you'll have to keep under 80 km for the next 36000 km. While the plastics are breaking in to the harsh UV outside of the warehouses and factories its used to it'll need weekly oiling and the rub downs. Finally, if you want to have a well raised car you have to bite on the face when it doesn't listen. **TL;DR** about three fiddy

You'll want to drive it like you stole it but you can't go above 3500 rpm for the first 4000 km. After that you'll have to keep under 80 km for the next 36000 km. While the plastics are breaking in to the harsh UV outside of the warehouses and factories its used to it'll need weekly oiling and the rub downs. Finally, if you want to have a well raised car you have to bite on the face when it doesn't listen.

Terrible top quote. Way to fuck it up bot.. Anyway real reason: The numbers aren't conclusively supportive of this claim.. The source says >estimates that between 1937 and 1945, the Japanese military murdered from nearly 3 to over 10 million people, most likely 6 million Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war. So 6 million is most likely but includes a broad range of people not just Chinese. The numbers are unknown partially because it's not known or accounted for very accurately how many people died from being displaced or as indirect results of Japanese military actions. As for the Holocaust >Martin Gilbert arrived at a "minimum estimate" of over 5.75 million Jewish victims including 2 million gassed at Auschwitz.[299] Lucy S. Dawidowicz used pre-war census figures to estimate that 5.934 million Jews died So if the estimates were for Chinese people only and were shown to be at the high end of the range, the OP would have been correct.. but they weren't. TLDR: Not provable factually with the numbers we know.

What gets me is. The dates of "recruitment" are 7-14 to 8-3. That's great. Ive recruited a few players in months past. Kicker is: my gf just started last night a day before said recruitment window. So I've got 4 players over recruited and none of which count towards the badge?! Guess I'll make my parents and grandparents make accounts lol. Tldr: I have a problem with shiny badges apparently.

My group's DM has included a cyborg-ninja (CBN for short) type of NPC that has flashy moves and has "saved us" on two occassions. We met him in a very mysterious manner at first, not really knowing if he was an enemy, ally, etc. before he disappeared. On the first, if I recall correctly, we had an encounter at level 1 or 2 in which we defeated the two waves of goblins/wolves/etc. that would be normal for our encounter, but then introduced (through story) a goblin ambush party that was getting to our position while the initial threat was distracting us, and so we would have died right then and there. We were all pretty low and about to loot when it happened. CBN comes in at the last second and staves off the ambush, giving us time to escape. Our group, like any awesome group, always has that one person that wants to escape the railroad, so our group's Fighter decided to stay and help CBN. He was on the brink of death, and our Cleric asks the DM if he can do something along the lines of praying to Pelor for strength in order to dash in front of the Fighter at the last minute and take the blow. Our DM agreed, and told the Cleric to roll. He got a 1. Our DM described it as our Cleric successfully taking the blow, but stumbling upon impact, causing him to crash into the Fighter whilst also causing internal bleeding to himself due to the manner in which he fell (he was at something like -9 HP). CBN, bad-ass that he is, notices the Cleric's fragile state and sacrifices his left cyber-arm in order to release some sort of healing agent in dust form that puts our Cleric above 1 HP (the second time he saved us). I can't remember much about what happened after, but we were able to heal up at an inn relatively soon after. Steel left shortly after, and we encountered him again two levels later, during which he helped us out again and gave us more useful info (or so we believe it to be...) TL;DR DMPCs can be awesome, but be sparse with their appearances, make sure your PCs get their "fill" before introducing the DMPC into the situation, and have him help them out in ways where they will feel like he is an awesome addition to the adventure at hand rather than someone there to steal the thunder.

My thoughts: firstly, you have a heavy creatures matter theme by necessity; embrace it! I would add [[shattergang brothers]] for sure, at least one of Tymaret the murder king and/or Lyzolda the blood witch (srsly, she draws and damages off the tokens). [[nyxborn weaver]] and [[agent of erebos]] get work done. They offer powerful utility often found on noncreatures but with a body, and synergize with shattergang to allow making enemies sac enchantments. Ramp can be important! Everyone knows [[solemn sinulacrum]], but [[yavimaya elder]] and [[sakura-tribe elder]] are great too! I slso like [[tilling treefolk for being half a loam and recovering used, blown up or dredged utility lands,especially if you run cycling lands or use [[realms uncharted]] and just use the treefolk or loam to get all four of your OP MLG NOSCOPE lands. [[life from the loam]] is a must. I could write a post longer tgan this just on that card. [[riftsweeper]] is a critical utility creature to any deck like this because graveyards can be exiled. [[eternal witness]] loves to bring stuff back. [[squee, goblin nabob]] is amazing value to any sac outlet, or discard draws like [[faithless looting]]. Adding a few dredgers like [[golgari grave-troll]] to yo deck can help supply a nice full gy to work with, fun with stuff like mass reanimating, or [[creeping renaissance]], [[kessig cagebreakers]], and [[spider spawning]]. Bonus shoutouts to [[Svogthos, the restless tomb]] for doing work, [[ouphe vandals]] for protecting your board and graveyard, [[fauna shaman]] for being wayy too good, and [[anger]] and [[genesis]] for winning games. Tldr cut noncreatures and high cmc, add low cmc creatures with removal abilities or ramp or recursion. DISCLAIMER: wrote on phone, misspellings assumed

It's because the exploding car market is in China, not the US. China produces a lot of stuff to be sold in the US and other countries. However when it comes to cars, China is the GROWING market for automobiles, not the other way around, 20 years ago very few Chinese had cars of their own. Now that the country has a growing middle class and more disposable income, the general goal for every middle class Chinese consumer is a) a house and b) a car. The Chinese car market is growing so fast that every car manufacturer wants to get INTO CHINA, not the other way around. Ford, VW, GM, and many other foreign car companies are tripping over each other to sell their cars in China. In previous years, Ford actually made profits in China where they failed to make profits at home. TL;DR, China is the new hotness for car consumers and people want to sell the Chinese cars not the other way around.

1. Your title implies that you don't really understand what the lawsuit is over, which honestly is troubling. 2. He's being sued for trampling on the Constitution. Both for unilaterally rewriting laws such as Obamacare, and refusing to enforce laws he disagrees with (mainly immigration laws). 3. This lawsuit may be unprecedented, but the issues that it turns on have been brewing since before Dubya. 4. They're suing because their only other recourse would be to start impeachment proceedings, which honestly are a nonstarter. 5. And the reason why they're a nonstarter is because the public honestly doesn't care. They don't care because all our politicians do is engage in Kabuki and demagogue on each other. Now when Obama does things that seriously erode the balance of powers, people think its just the Republicans whining. If this was Bush unilaterally tampering with entitlements or ignoring laws, I'd be just as pissed. **TL;DR: If you give one shit about the Constitution, separation of powers, or America not having a literally imperial President one day, you'd support this lawsuit. Because the only other alternative is impeachment, which isn't what the country needs nor really wants.**

I'm going to be playing Storm. It has a good match against most of the top deck right now and it is one of the most entertaining decks I know. Piloted it to day two at Richmond going over all kinds of twin and affinity on the way so I think it will be comfortable in the meta. Also since then it has moved from about 5% of the meta to about 2% meaning that it isn't going to be hated out as much as it was in Richmond. Tl;dr someone is going to do well with storm, hope it is me.

When I played hide and seek with my dog, I discovered something rather interesting. He always made a beeline to where I was no matter what. I could go upstairs, go in and out of multiple rooms before hiding. I could be on, under furniture. It was then I realized the motherfucker was *listening* to where I was going. He had hearing like a fucking bat. So then in the future, my mom would put her hands over his ears (and he'd freak the fuck out) until I was hidden, then let him come find me. It was a lot harder for him to do so. TL;DR dogs are some cheating motherfuckers. He was a yellow lab/chesapeake mix, btw

Her ultimate is a steriod, I can pass that as a single target ability. Her W needs a target to do something, and can only proc on one target, therefor it's technically a single target ability. Her E is obvs a single target ability. But her Q? I don't know. She can use it whenever she wants, there doesn't need to be a target. Sure she needs a target to deal damage, but it's still a spell even without the damage. It's still a short dash that doesn't allow her to pass a wall. And is really the damage portion a spell? Isn't it an empowered AA? Deep shit man. Really keeps me up at night. **TL;DR:** Vayne is a deep champion.

From my own personal experience, under powering a system has entirely different behavior. When I got my 780Ti, I had a 650Watt PSU, the PC ran fine (no artifacting at all). The problem I had is that when I was playing a game, and the video card increased it's core and memory clock to compensate for the demands of the game (this is a feature keplar GPUs use) my PC would just restart, no warning, no artifacting just a reboot. If I had to make my best guess, the guy who sold you the R9 270 recognized that the Video Card was starting to fail, and decided to sell it to make some money on it. Often times, when a company offers a warranty, you're required to register that device on their website within 30 days of purchase, so if this individual DIDN'T register his card, and isn't eligible for the warranty, in his mind the next best thing is to try and sell it to some sucker. This is why I'm personally against buying any used PC parts, it's no different than buying a used car, when you go to a dealership that has used vehicles, they don't have to put a sticker on the car, or even tell you, that all sales are final (afaik, there's no law that enforces them to do so) TL:DR the person selling the card knew it was failing, and sold it while he could.

the person selling the card knew it was failing, and sold it while he could.

>It is important to note that Miranda rights do not go into effect until after an arrest is made.

I don't think they should face terrorism charges, but what they did is completely retarded. Minks are vicious animals that will not hesitate to prey on other minks outside their family, and having not been born in the wild they probably can't find other sources of food and they will end up eating each other. Tl;dr the minks probably ate each other.

When I was about 5 years old, my carpool driver told me that those blinking lights on the side of the front of cars meant that the car needed an oil change. The lights were going: "Need. Oil. Need Oil." I kid you not, ten years later the penny dropped. tl;dr: Be REALLY careful what you tell your young kids.

This happened when i was in 9th grade (I'm 34 now happily married with a little girl). I had just broken up with my first love of two years. I was down in the dumps hardcore. Well these two girls who I hung out with decided they would hook me up with their cousin who lived out of state. They showed me pictures and I chatted on the phone with her and she kept saying I was hot and can't wait to see you and such. This went on for three months until the day came for me to meet her. Well I got stood up, so I was bummed. I came to class the next day and the two girls were sitting there giggling and pointing at me. I went over and asked what the deal was and they revealed that it was all a big joke. it was their other friend I was talking to on the phone and the pics were fake also. I was devastated. I got really mad and called one of the girls a fat cunt and she kicked me in the balls. I laid there broken hearted for the second time that year with sore nuts and a busted ego. worst day ever. tl;dr had heart broken twice and kicked in the balls. Girls are mean

In high school I had a friend who was absolutely in love with a girl he had met in his snowboarding class/lessons. They were on again, off again- until one day when we were juniors and she was killed in a mugging. She was a couple of years older than us, so out of high school and had just moved to a city for college. Apparently she was walking through the wrong part of the city and got shot when she tried to fight off her mugger. Two years later I randomly ran into the friend who had been in love with her and without thinking mentioned her in conversation. I was about to apologize for bringing her up- until he excitedly told me that she was engaged.....!?! A year later this same guy was in Harvard med-school, after having not been in college at all the previous three years. At least that's what he told me when I saw him at the check out line of a grocery store. TL;DR: girl is killed while being mugged then gets engaged a few years later.

For my new job, I did something similar, but with a twist. My old job let me work remotely, my department had a fantastic budget, I was well liked in the department, had plenty of job security, and I got lots of travel (I love business travel). So, I told the interviewer my current salary and then made it explicitly clear that for the listed reasons, they would have to offer substantially more to make me consider leaving. I told them a specific price point. The hiring process took a while, and during that time performance appraisals at my (then) current job came out, and I got a substantial (8%) raise. So when the new company came to me to do initial salary negotiations I told them they would now have to pay me more than I originally told them because I got a raise. Now, I have "in demand skills" (I'm a good Linux admin) so this might not work for everyone, and the interviewer tried to push me around saying things like "I know your skills are in demand, but I don't know if we can justify a X% raise, we normally do 10-15%" etc. I told them that was fine and that I was in no rush to leave my current job. Sure enough, they approved the full amount that I wanted. AKA, I **STILL** didn't ask for enough. TL;DR - Don't let HR yank you around. Name a price and stick to it.

Every single baseball player knows not to bet on baseball. Look what happened to the White Sox in 1919. There's a long list of players who were banned for gambling on baseball. He knew the consequences and he still did it. Yet he didn't just admit to betting on baseball, he lied about it repeatedly. Finally he *voluntarily* agreed to be placed on Baseball's ineligible list. He knew that would hurt his chances to get into the HoF. Of course, 2 years later the HoF committee made it official that they wouldn't induct players on that list. Also, a great way to look at it was, let's say he bet on his team to win one game, but not the next. What's to stop him from managing differently those two games? He might waste all his good bench players and bullpen in one game, knowing he has money riding on that game and not the next, leaving his team and bullpen depleted for the next day. TL;DR: He made his bed, now he has to sleep in it.

Oh man, I remember being a little kid who was absolutely OBSESSED with Garfield for whatever reason. I had every single one of the books lined up on my bookshelf in numerical order, and religiously read each strip in the paper as soon as I could get my hands on it. When this series of strips came along, I was so shocked and concerned that I actually wrote Jim Davis a letter. While I probably didn't keep the response I got for all these years, it was basically a pre-written response saying that many fans were equally concerned, and that it was essentially an experimental series and Garfield would soon return to normal. TL;DR: That shit messed with my 8-year-old head.

I was fit and sexy as a teenager. Shit was awesome girls would come onto me all the time. Then I hit college, didn't play sports anymore, didn't exercise at all, had a steady diet of beer and cheesesteak subs... gained about 100lbs. Literally everything changed. No one payed as much attention to me. When I would smile at girls on the street or wherever, instead of returning my smile they would look away, or look at the ground or straight scowl at me. I You REALLY notice it though going from being unattractive to being attractive again. I lost all the weight about two years ago, kept it off, and boom suddenly people were more friendly, gave me free stuff, girls would smile at me or go out of their way to follow me around/dance near me on dance floor etc. Everyone complimented me on my weight loss, people that wanted to change started to use me as inspiration for their own weight loss journeys. Also I was severely depressed the whole time i was big. I equate it to getting old very rapidly. like there was such a drastic change in how people treated me i was pretty much invisible to everyone. I go way out of my way to treat large people with the same respect, dignity, and attention as i do thin people now. Most people dont even realize that they ignore large people in favor of thin people. TL;DR Attention, much much more attention.

I disagree, I'm glad I have people (male and female) I can a talk about sex with (irl and on reddit) that i dont want to fuck and I'm very glad about that. If I didn't have any of those sorts of relationships or opportunities to vent I'd be happy to find just one person to talk to. Talking about sex and kinks does not equal sexual tension. Also no it doesn't, sex lives can be complicated and that works both ways. Even if she's been the lower libido partner in the past doesn't mean he has to respond immediately to a change on her end, he could just be taking time to adjust. (She's admitted sex still hurts her, that alone would make we caution about upping the frequency of sex). Tldr thing's aren't always as black and white (or dramatic) as reddit wants them to be.

It's mostly the wrapper to filler ratio. Some blends benefit more from one or the other. The thinner the RG the more wrapper flavor you'll get. I prefer the HG in the normal vitolas instead of the lancero for example. But also I prefer the MF lancero (No. 4) to all the rest. Tldr: Depends on the cigar.

That sounds... quite a bit like my last big breakup. I really feel for you, it's so much harder to deal with knowing all the things you did and all the effort yout put forward are so easily brushed off by these types of people. This is why when I am dating now, I made a rule to myself. I will literally date ANY girl that either A) I find attractive or B) Finds me attractive. Why? Because the other half of that deal is I promised myself I will leave immediatly if I am not 100% satisfied with their company. Now, I go on a LOT of really shitty dates, and I'm perfectly OK with that. I've learned WAY more red flags than I ever knew and can see them in more than just in hindsight. Now then, a serious peice of advice here. Write out a custody agreement FORMALY and have it signed and notorized at a bank. This WILL save your ass in the custody battle. No matter what, who, or how fair they are, when it's your kids, you fight hard. You fight dirty. She will. (Even if not, is your child worth the gamble? This is my main point.) Best decision I ever made, I put on paper that regardless of any circumstance, my ex was granted at minimum one supervised visitation a week with me having primary custody (Because she had no job, no home, no car, etc). She then turned around and tried to take my daughter from my parents house while I was at work on her way to moving to another state. She called the cops, and under normal law she had every legal right to take her from my parents. They showed the cops that I had custody with that notorized form with her signature and the signature/seal of the bank that witnessed it and she was escorted off the property. That ONE smart move was the ONLY reason I have my amazing little girl in my life today. OP, regardless of how you feel about her or the situation, your child is going to learn what is acceptable in relationships from the least of you, the lowest bar. I highly recommend having primary custody, as I can tell you are intelligent, though perhaps slightly naive (Please take no offense, I was that way myself and often still am). This sounds like the kind of girl that will randomly go ape shit crazy and do something stupid. Make sure your child isn't a pawn for her to use when she does. TL;DR: I completely sympathize, I know the feeling... GET CUSTODY ON PAPER OR YOU **WILL** REGRET IT!

This is why when I am dating now, I made a rule to myself. I will literally date ANY girl that either A) I find attractive or B) Finds me attractive. Why? Because the other half of that deal is I promised myself I will leave immediatly if I am not 100% satisfied with their company. Now, I go on a LOT of really shitty dates, and I'm perfectly OK with that. I've learned WAY more red flags than I ever knew and can see them in more than just in hindsight. Now then, a serious peice of advice here. Write out a custody agreement FORMALY and have it signed and notorized at a bank. This WILL save your ass in the custody battle. No matter what, who, or how fair they are, when it's your kids, you fight hard. You fight dirty. She will. (Even if not, is your child worth the gamble? This is my main point.) Best decision I ever made, I put on paper that regardless of any circumstance, my ex was granted at minimum one supervised visitation a week with me having primary custody (Because she had no job, no home, no car, etc). She then turned around and tried to take my daughter from my parents house while I was at work on her way to moving to another state. She called the cops, and under normal law she had every legal right to take her from my parents. They showed the cops that I had custody with that notorized form with her signature and the signature/seal of the bank that witnessed it and she was escorted off the property. That ONE smart move was the ONLY reason I have my amazing little girl in my life today. OP, regardless of how you feel about her or the situation, your child is going to learn what is acceptable in relationships from the least of you, the lowest bar. I highly recommend having primary custody, as I can tell you are intelligent, though perhaps slightly naive (Please take no offense, I was that way myself and often still am). This sounds like the kind of girl that will randomly go ape shit crazy and do something stupid. Make sure your child isn't a pawn for her to use when she does. TL;DR: I completely sympathize, I know the feeling... GET CUSTODY ON PAPER OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!

You're me from January 2013. Here's what you do first. Figure out who is legitimately on your side in all this. If some of them are her family members, even better. Your son cannot be around his mother or her new....whatever this guy is. Chances are this guy does opiates, knows where to get them, or deals them. And if he doesn't, she's going to cause him to relapse in a big way. That's just how it is. 8% of opiate addicts maintain sobriety permanently. 2% of relationships involving two addicts who are sober are successful. So basically 2% of that 8% has a success rate.....they cannot be around your child alone, ever. Start documenting your behavior with your son. From now on, the two of you do everything together and he is basically surgically attached to you. He goes anywhere with you, there better be a photo album of it on facebook by the end of the day. "OH MY GOD, I LOVE GROCERY SHOPPING WITH MY SON! LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF HIM SITTING IN HIS CARSEAT WHILE I PUMP GAS AT THE GAS STATION! LOOK AT US EATING LUNCH AT THE PARK!" Any doctor's appointments, you take him. Needs to go to daycare? You take him and pick him up, and how about you pay for it too because the sun isn't the center of the universe, it's your son! Don't delete her from facebook. You want to see everything she does so you can document it. And I mean, document everything she does. Every hospital trip, every day she misses work, etc. That way, when you go to court over custody, the deck will be equally stacked. Which is why you want her family members on your side too. You need custody, full custody, where you decide visitation and it's supervised. From now on you eat, sleep, and breathe being a father. You will work as much as possible, spend all your time with him, and make sure he has everything he could ever want. I say this because I was there and it is terrifying. But you and your son will be okay. And there are programs out there to help both of you. You can apply for WIC and foodstamps, and DHS might pay for your childcare costs. It really is important that you get your son away from her. There won't be any way for you to be sure your child support went to your son and not to her habit. I was lucky in that my husband stayed away. He didn't come back until he was ready to get clean. He's been clean for a year, but he knows that if he ever relapses, the kids and I are gone and he doesn't get to ever see them again. I would also recommend that you find a support group for single parents and attend narc-anon. They'll help you to see what you're up against and they'll know of other avenues of support you may need. Personal therapy would also be good to help you cope on your own. Dealing with an addict, it's very easy to become codependent and that needs to be addressed. TL;DR- Do what you can to get full custody, get therapy. Hit the gym if you feel like it.

I don't find Weird Al funny at all. His parodies barely stay on topic and he basically makes a "funny" rap over incredibly successful and famous songs. His early stuff seemed OK, I used to like Amish Paradise/White & Nerdy, but then again, I was a teenager when I found them funny. Aren't parodies meant to have at least, the vaguest connection to the original track? I saw his foil video and just closed it before it finished, complete waste of time IMO. [Compare this guy's] ( parody of blurred lines to [Weird Al's one.] ( The first video actually stays on topic, even critiques the song, video, artist's behaviour etc. My favourite ones from the same guy: [Pour it Up parody] ( [Lorde] ( [Drake] ( TL;DR If I wanted to listen to someones "funny" rap over number one hits, I'd buy Lil' Wayne's mixtapes.

I'm not sure if you are serious or not. I know people who have no enjoyment at all in the game. I was at that point but luckily my new job only let's me play on weekends. I've been climbing the past month only playing 4 or 5 games a week. Never had this much fun with league. Tldr I treated league as a full time job with 0 pay. When it became a game again it was more enjoyable.

I did some reading to find out what actual economists were saying when the voting was happening. What I found was that for a long time economists really didn't know wtf would happen because their models suggested raising the minimum wage would be as terrible as some people think but actual results started to come in suggesting it actually does help the economy and employers don't actually cut their work force. TL;DR math doesn't account for people to do the irrational thing and just pay the new wage and get on with their lives.

It is out of sync, definitely, but it would be better if we didn't frame this as a race to the bottom. Frankly, neither the full time fast food worker nor the social worker should go to bed hungry at night. Wih me as an example, I sit in one of the nicest skyscrapers in Seattle and make pretty things for an expensive international corporation. I do not do as much (if any) societal good in my career, yet I get paid much much more lavishly than a social worker. Even I know that's kinda fucked, but it's also fucked that we saddle social workers with grad school debt that they can never hope to repay. TL;DR, let's not rob Peter to pay Paul, let's rob Jamie Dimon to pay Paul instead.

It's not that her feet are anchored that's the problem. The problem is that her feet are lower than her butt. That pad she's sitting on is reducing her range of motion a good bit. She's basically doing partial sit-ups. A proper sit-up should start with the butt level with the feet in a non - hyperextended position. At the bottom of the movement, her back is hyperextended. Simply straightening her body completes half of her sit-up. Weightlifters call this "quarter repping". Most newbies trying to demonstrate some strength feat will do this. It's like only lowering the bar half way to your chest when bench pressing. TL;DR: She's able to do these because she's limiting her range of motion.

Yes you can, I have done it multiple times. I used to drive home around 1-2am in the morning and would see drivers who were obviously very drunk. I used to question calling 911 to report them but then I realized that a good majority of drunk drivers who end up killing innocent pedestrians or other drivers were probably noticed earlier by other drivers who didn't call 911 to report them. A simple call could end up saving lives. When you call, just say you are reporting a driver who appears to be intoxicated and they are swerving, driving, erratically, etc. They will ask the location and direction and if you can provide details about the person driving the car and the car (color, make, model, approx. year, license plate #). It can be helpful to follow the car while keeping a safe distance because often times the 911 operator will stay on the line with you while you give more details about a change in their route, etc. The VERY last thing they will ask you for is your name. I always respond with, "I would rather not disclose personal information." In my experience (5-6 times of calling in DUI's) they have always been very polite and say something along the lines of, "Okay" or "I understand" and "Thank you for calling this in. We have a (cop) car en route now. Drive safely, goodbye." TLDR: Call it in. They will always ask about the details first and then ask for your name last. You can decline to give your name.

i agree with you on the part about it not being as profitable at first. but if it were to make money there are a much larger population in london (8.3 mil) than there is in LA (3.9 mil). then if the NFL actually gains some following it would be the only team in the country where as there are three in california. the population of england is also more than california's and is about a third of the size. there are also no real team allegiances already in place. tl;dr ***if*** NFL takes of in england it would make many times the amount of money as it would in LA.

Krishna and Sarasvati are both really good leaders and depending on the cooldown of their actives, skilled and unskilled, should be able to compare with top tier leads like Sakuya, Pandora, and Horus(just to name a few). They are like the hero gods in requiring a lot of orbs to activate though, so expect them to require some REM subs to be more effective. Vishnu is also an ok lead, but with him being wood and having 2-prong, he will be sought after as sub material because of Zhuge Liang. Ganeisha and his active might let you do some neat things, but unless they make gold more needed, he will likely just become the Indra of the Indian 2.0. Durga is honestly getting way more hype then I think she should. Her active is ok, but it's not something you want to have 2 of on your team like Sakuyas or U&Y. She also has terrible support for subs. The only god D/B monster available is Luci and there is no D/G god that exists, so a mono dark team that can take full effect of her active is just impossible right now. She needs a lot of sub support before she can even come close to being as good as Sakuya in my opinion. tl;dr Krishna and Sarasvati great, Vishnu sub, Ganeisha and Durga = Indra and Vritra.

I had the Shelby-modified version of the Omni back in '85. The GLH (rumored to stand for "Goes Like Hell".) Quality-wise, the car was a piece of shit (in the first 13 months of ownership the power steering, A/C, clutch and fuel pump failed). But, when it was running, it was a freakin' beast. It cornered like it was on rails (thanks, Carroll) and had enough go-juice to plant your head in the headrest. Here's the fun part, though: the shifter linkage kept breaking, causing me to drive to the dealer/repair shop in whatever gear the car happened to be in. 1st, 2nd and 3rd weren't too big an issue but one time it got stuck in 4th. Could barely move it. Limped into a muffler shop. The dude fixed it with baling wire (Baling wire!). It turned out that I never again had to fix it. **TL;DR: A twisted piece of baling wire worked better that the "well-designed" Dodge shifter linkage assembly.**

Travel. Seriously. Just go. Here's how... Get to Europe, once your in the EU travel between vastly different countries, languages and cultures is just a train ride (or very cheap flight away). 1. Get on CouchSurfing.org By CouchSurfing you'll be able to live in countries, cities, that you'd never be able to afford too stay in for more than a few days. You'll have a local who knows the area, speaks the language, can help. Hell I'm currently sitting in a couch in a Paris apartment, it's hot as hell here but I'm about too get up (i swear) and go find a beer for breakfast. I'm stay rent fee in an apartment given up by a guy is met for the first time, YESTERDAY! People want to help and share the love, if you as for it. 2. Find youth hostels in the city and walk straight (if you can) into their common rooms. Tell any staff you're waiting for a friend. Chat to the other travelers, make friends, go out for lunch, add them on Facebook. In a place where you don't belong, other travelers are your instant friends, especially if you bath speak English and the locals don't. Life long friendships can be forged over chance meetings and boozey Spanish lunches. 3. Go out and focus on having a good time, not on meeting someone. Hang with locals. Do crazy stuff. Practice other languages. See stuff. Travel. Take photos on your phone (leave the camera at home) and upload straight to FB. 4. Be happy, be interesting, keep moving, live and work abroad. Struggle with being totally out of your comfort zone then become a pro at dealing with it. Be the perfect you don't know you could be. Just do it. 5. Done. Look back in a year and see how you life has changed. I have no doubt (boyfriend or not) you'd be more fulfilled, happier and more importantly - interesting - than you could have imagined. You might have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you might not care. TLDR; travel, see the world, you nearly lost your chance - go get it!

I live in an apartment complex, so the cars all park together. I was waiting for my mom to arrive, so could help her with the groceries, when suddenly some lady gives me a death stare from a distance. She seems to think I want to steal something, when clearly there are no cars really near me. I'm just standing there waiting to help my mom, is that a damn crime? TL;DR some bitch didn't like me carrying the potatoes home.

Stannade inte för en gångtrafikant vid ett övergångsställ, och blev därför underkänd, vilket jag tyckte var orimligt petigt. På den 30-vägen hade jag behövt köra 5 km/h för att hinna reagera på när just den gångtrafikanten ville gå över vägen (det gick många på gångvägen längs bilvägen). Gjorde nästan exakt samma sak på samma ställe nästa gång jag körde upp, denna gång med en annan handledare, men han blev nöjd och jag blev godkänd. Jag frågade honom om övergångsstället, han sa att jo han vet vad jag menade, men man kan inte krypköra bara för att någon av alla dessa människor plötsligt får för sig att vända tvärt vid övergångsstället och gå över. De får vänta några sekunder så bilisterna är med på att de vill över. tl;dr: olika handledare kan resonera annorlunda var väl min poäng

Since we are on the subject of sporks I want to share a story from college. I was in a linguistics class and my professor was pretty British. There was one day in class we were discussing words that were made from the combination of other words. I offered up spork as an example and he didn't know what it was. I explained it was a fork and a spoon in one utensil. He exclaimed "That's brilliant! Did you just make that up?" tldr: taught professor with PhD in linguistics the word spork, he thought I came up with it myself

So I have gotten a few PM's about the GM's wife. So back in the world of the warcraft. There was a small 10 man raiding guild. We were pretty close. The GM was pretty nice, and the members were too. PvP'd together and raided, did some dungeons, ya know...friend-time things. So the GM's wife picked up the game and played casually. She didn't raid, mostly because she knew we were big on progression and she admitted to being terrible. Well we made an awful forum post called: RL pics. And we all posted pictures of ourselves. Well the GM's wife, 29, was, for lack of a better word, bangin. So we all start making funny suggestive comments, which we were met with "oh stop it you!" I assume the GM was used to it, because he never really said anything. So fast forward a few months into raiding, stuck on Sindragosa in the redone Naxx. And our mage is going on vacation so he's going to miss raiding. So we start hunting for someone to replace him for the week. Now this is a normal thing. However, the wife of the GM did not raid. But apparently she had to go on a trip for work. (We found this out from the mage later). So we continue with our raid and down Sindragosa. In the excitement the GM gets the number from one of his arena partners and calls the mage to let him know, because he figured he'd be excited. Ventrilo keyed on speakerphone transcript Mage - "Hello? Who is this." GM - "***** dude we got sindragosa!" Woman in background - "(slightly quiet) What do you wanna do for dinner?" GM - "What the f*** is that *******?" Mage - "Uh..." Ventrilo cuts off...about 3 minutes of silence...it seemed like forever. The chat was even silent. I think we were trying to figure out if it was a joke or what. I was stunned. Then vent erupted. "What the fuck" was probably the most used phrase. The GM immediately left vent. Kicked the mage and his wife from the guild and logged off. So many questions and zero answers. The mage's arena partner tried to call him multiple times with no answer. So fast forward about a month and the mage logged on, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one bombarding him with questions. The short story was, The wife started playing wow because the GM wasn't paying any attention to her and thought it was something they could enjoy together. Her and mage began exchanging tells after the RL pics went up. Mutual attraction, some sweet nothings, and boom vacation and fake business trip. I never really heard the happy or unhappy ending of the tale. But I assume the word divorce was used. TL;dr - GM's wife took a fake business trip to fuck a frost mage with sub-par dps because her husband wasn't paying her any attention.

I'd go with either DDance and Poison jab (Covers Fairy Weakness), or Hone Claws and Iron Tail (No speed boost, but more power + covers Fairy *and* Ice). either of those, combined with Earthquake and Outrage, provide at least neutral coverage against everything except Shedinja and Skarmory. Poison jab hits 325 pokemon super effectively, whereas Iron Tail hits only 297. if you're willing to give up hittting fairies super-effectively, you might consider DDance + Rock slide, which will give you perfect coverage, and allow you to hit the majority (390) of pokemon super-effectively. Ultimately, it comes down to what team you put it on. Personally, I'd just baton pass it some boosts and go to town with Earthquake, Poison Jab, Rock Slide, and Dual Chop (I don't like being locked into Outrage, and hitting twice lets you break substitutes and focus sashes). TL;DR: Poison Jab/DDance if you want speed, Iron Tail/Hone Claws if you want power and to take Ice types, and Poison Jab/Rock slide if you don't want boosting moves.

Between the two I would pick 7 days to die. Rust is only multiplayer and is being redone from scratch the reworked rust looks very good but is nowhere close to a playable game yet. Now 7days to die is playable right now and can be played as single player and is updated often, But it still has a lot of bugs. Tldr: 7days to die > rust (also I own both games and have a 7dtd server that I play sometimes if you don't want to be alone all the time just pm me :)

Ok since you didn't get it ill explain it to you. The first part says I donated momey to a guy in an alley. This already seems shadey so it sets the scene for things to come. Why would I give money away in an alley? Most alleyway transactions are the sale of illegal drugs or services. So there's the first clue. Then I say that he looked like he needed it. Drug dealers are often known for being thuggish or dressing casually, so there's the next clue about the transaction. I go on to say he thanked me with a bag of weed. Why would he thank me for a donation? And why would he give me something as a thanks? If I give him money and gives me a substance it would appear as if a sale has gone down there. So maybe that was what I intended and knew he would give me the weed if I gave him money. More clues to it being a drug deal. At this point I realise I have illegal drugs on me so I want to get them to the police as soon as possible. This part makes it look like I know I've done something illegal but im trying to cover my tracks? Who knows... well I do! But anyway, it is too late and the police station is closed so I decide I will go in in the morning. Surely if I intended to hand them in I would call the police department myself, no? Perhaps I wanted to keep the drugs? Well, I go on to say I lose them in a series of house fires. A series? Surely after one or two I would do something about it? So maybe I wanted it to burn... perhaps destroying the evidence? However as we know it is weed then we can deduce the burning released chemicals that act on your brain. If I was intending to allow this weed to burn then I would know of these effects. Perhaps that is my intention? This is further evidence pointing towards the idea that I bought the drugs to smoke. But that is illegal. So if I were to tell anyone I would have to create a story to make it look like it happened by accident and was out of my control. Which I have done. So tl;dr: bought pot, smoked pot, liked pot

Why would I give money away in an alley? Most alleyway transactions are the sale of illegal drugs or services. So there's the first clue. Then I say that he looked like he needed it. Drug dealers are often known for being thuggish or dressing casually, so there's the next clue about the transaction. I go on to say he thanked me with a bag of weed. Why would he thank me for a donation? And why would he give me something as a thanks? If I give him money and gives me a substance it would appear as if a sale has gone down there. So maybe that was what I intended and knew he would give me the weed if I gave him money. More clues to it being a drug deal. At this point I realise I have illegal drugs on me so I want to get them to the police as soon as possible. This part makes it look like I know I've done something illegal but im trying to cover my tracks? Who knows... well I do! But anyway, it is too late and the police station is closed so I decide I will go in in the morning. Surely if I intended to hand them in I would call the police department myself, no? Perhaps I wanted to keep the drugs? Well, I go on to say I lose them in a series of house fires. A series? Surely after one or two I would do something about it? So maybe I wanted it to burn... perhaps destroying the evidence? However as we know it is weed then we can deduce the burning released chemicals that act on your brain. If I was intending to allow this weed to burn then I would know of these effects. Perhaps that is my intention? This is further evidence pointing towards the idea that I bought the drugs to smoke. But that is illegal. So if I were to tell anyone I would have to create a story to make it look like it happened by accident and was out of my control. Which I have done. So

bought pot, smoked pot, liked pot

I do actually dive and this *is* my regular dive watch but I have to put the rubber strap on for dives so it fits over my wetsuit wrists, unless it's a tropical dive where I just a nylon nato style strap. But it's also my everyday beater for most situations except perhaps a cocktail or black tie event. Anyway after wearing this SKX007 with the standard bracelet I impulsively swapped it for a brown leather strap and have been much happier with the result. TLDR; buy a Panerai jerkface

So I read the actual filing. She is suing for $400,000 plus attorney fees. From the look of it, based on Florida and Federal law, it would appear that she has a basis for a lawsuit. The law is actually worded so that technically the clinic is in the wrong. There is NO exception for Title X Providers in either US law or Florida laws. The email communication is going to be the central focus of the entire trial. "Good Morning. Due to the fact that we are a Title X organization and you are an [sic] member of AAPLOG, we would be unable to move forward in the interviewing process. An [sic] unfortunately, we do not have any positions for antepartum & laborist only." Is what was sent to the nurse. This was the last communication sent by the HR person. The nurse will probably win because the HR person made explicit reference to the AAPLOG. If he had been smart, he would have simply said, "thank you for your interest in this position. Unfortunately, we are unable to proceed with the hiring process. We will keep your application on file for ____ months." I can't count how many letters like that I have received. Employers don't have to tell you WHY they won't hire you. Also, many states don't require the employer to tell you why they are firing you. Hopefully, the judge will throw this out citing logic. Why the hell would this lady apply to work for a place she is morally opposed to? The clinic might have a valid agreement in, were they to hire that nurse, they would ALSO have to hire someone else to do the part of the job she refused to do. What happens when that second job consists of only prescribing birth control? What if they get another pro-birth person? Do they also have to pay that person to sit around and not do their job? Tl;dr: could go either way and I am not a lawyer

She was a ringer. It's all about publicity with groups like this. Cry wolf constantly to get in the news. The people who are prolife don't care that this whole thing is batshit crazy sounding, they'll rally and send money to the lawyers...because...well...god and stuff. I wouldn't be shocked if that nurses affiliation with that "doctors who care more about god than our patients" wasn't where she met the lawyers who are suing. TL;DR: this is a planned litigation

No, you don't. Why does Project M need to be shortened? To fit into a Melee timeframe? Why? This is about Project M and *its* community, so *they* should be primarily making the call. This backseat "Well, MELEE is like this!" attitude is not only inherently flawed, it's completely unnecessary. I didn't ADMIT to anything, and I'm not playing the victim, because there shouldn't be a problem. So what PM takes a little longer? Are TOs incapable of planning for a bit longer for Project M? They've been capable for months. Project M has run pretty smoothly until all of a sudden one instance, and then people wanna make major changes. I could understand if this was a series of problems at every tournament, but Project M has, again, been running smoothly until now. There's no need to shorten Project M's time to fit it into what Melee players want. Brawl was accommodated at tournaments for a while, and Brawl takes much longer than Project M. If the community and TOs could figure out how to run Brawl and make it work, I have faith they can make the slightly-longer-than-Melee timeslot work. There's already a precedent for that ability. **TL;DR** Project M doesn't need to be exactly as long as Melee. It's not hard to figure out organization-wise. It's already worked for months.

They make some legitimate points in a kind of haphazard, all-over-the-place kind of argument because they're on stream. But from what they've said and what I think: 1) The game is based around 4 stocks. This isn't a fully developed Smash game where Sakurai just released it and then the community determined how to make it competitive. The community is developing it. 2) The game is not Melee. Seriously. Like, it's based off Melee competitively, yes, but it's become its own game, with its own metagame, and its own merits. Even if Project M truly takes a little longer than Melee regularly, if there's the desire for Project M and the turn-out for Project M, then people shouldn't be looking at how to restrict Project M to satisfy Melee players. People should be looking at how to keep Project M fun and satisfying for the **Project M** players. If the Project M community thinks about it and decides to change the rules, then that makes sense. Don't try to fit Project M in a Melee-shaped box. 3) This is still an in-process project, hence "Project" M. Things can change, characters can change, mechanics can change. Implementing a major rule change on a version could affect the entirety of the direction of the project. It's silly and simple to let one tournament's overtime possibly affect the entirety of the project, which is what some people are trying to do. 4) To say it again: **This is not Melee.** If Melee had more floaty matchups, it would take longer. Melee has a lot of fast-match characters, especially spacies, playing. Project M has way more viable characters, leading to more varieties of matchups, and there's more stages to select and characters to switch to in between games. This leads to a bit more time for thought about how the match should progress for players. Matches can take longer, selections can take longer because there's more viable content than Melee. It makes sense that Project M takes a little longer. Plus, some characters and/or players have more zoning and slower play, which is just how a balanced game is. The game has options for many different playstyles. 5) The metagame hasn't been developed for 13 years like Melee's has. People don't know every matchup to the degree they know matches in Melee, and some people figure out characters and their combos and followups in the adaptation of the matches they play, because this version of the game has only been out for a few months. Things are still fresh. 6) The TO point is true. There shouldn't been so much downtime between matches, there shouldn't be a lot of waiting on players, there shouldn't be long handwarmers and stalled stage selections and just general confusion. The Tournament Organiser should never be saying "who's playing next?" They should be immediately ready to advance the bracket. If they're busy with something important like an emergency, then there should be someone else they can count on to get things done. Tournaments should be prepared to run smooth beforehand. Things happen sometimes, but even after a roadbump, get the tournament up and running as soon as you can, and don't let the players screw off while you try to fix things. *edit* Also, seriously TOs, figure out who's going to be on stream after you have the bracket. I hate seeing TOs being like, "Alright, who are we gonna have on stream next?" Figure out the likely candidates you want to have on stream, and pick going down the list when the setup is free. In pools, just get games going and on. 7) Many people still need to learn the game. Of course it's gonna be "Project Recovery" when everybody doesn't even bother learning effective edgeguards. "Diddy always gets back so free!!!" Did you know Diddy can be hit out of his jetpack? Did you know you can hit him before he lands on the stage? Look at how Diddy recovers and figure out his options, and then cover his best options. Sure, some things might need a tweak or two, it's still a game in progress. Thanks if you read this, just my thoughts. It's 3am, forgive me if I've made an error somewhere :P **TL;DR** Based on 4 stocks; PM, not Melee, community should decide; decision affects an in-progress game; Melee doesn't have as many floaty matchups; metagame underdeveloped compared to Melee; TOs be on top of your game (pun intended); learn the game before complaining.

Rama is fine, he's good in a 1v1 fight, (which you should avoid against him) but also he is easily shut down. His ult gets him rooted in one spot, so if you gank him, even if he ults, he will most probably die unlike apollo who can fly away with his ult. He has a good mana free clear, but so does apollo (his passive). Rama's damage early game is pretty high, but all you have to do is avoid 5 shots from him, then it'll be just like any other hunter. TLDR Rama has good damage, but he doesnt bring much to a team fight.

Can confirm. Same attitude when I travelled to a seminar with him. The Caio on YT and BJJ stuff is inspiring and a world beater. The Caio who I saw was condescending and quite frankly, rude. He came out with a Brazilian BB from another gym as his guide i guess and he taught us techniques. The then spent the in between time where students are repping/practising the tech effectively giving that BB a private lesson IN PORTUGUESE so the BB head of school (non brazilian) couldn't even understand what they were talking about. **TL;DR; He did a seminar and managed to spend more time with his friend giving him tips in Portuguese so no one else could understand it. He however is still a badass and I still love his BJJ**

Yeah, I suspected as much. However every time she says she hurts SO MUCH that I would accuse her of such a thing. Naturally I have accused her many times of this, even when we were 'just friends' after. It hasn't helped that I've asked this on other sites, even before the birthday party, they told me enjoy it while it lasts, because this relationship os going down. They weren't particularly sensitive about it, some of them said things similar to "lol she's banging him now loser, serves you right for being such a loser". It also hasn't helped that the advice to overcome the situation in future, with other girls, is "be more like Magic Mike". I now feel there's something inherently wrong with me. This is about the time I got massively into the whole self-improvement v self-rejection.

Tl;dr if ex ditches you for another guy how the fuck do you not assume that you're the inferior male in future instances?

Yeah, I suspected as much. However every time she says she hurts SO MUCH that I would accuse her of such a thing. Naturally I have accused her many times of this, even when we were 'just friends' after. It hasn't helped that I've asked this on other sites, even before the birthday party, they told me enjoy it while it lasts, because this relationship os going down. They weren't particularly sensitive about it, some of them said things similar to "lol she's banging him now loser, serves you right for being such a loser". It also hasn't helped that the advice to overcome the situation in future, with other girls, is "be more like Magic Mike". I now feel there's something inherently wrong with me. This is about the time I got massively into the whole self-improvement v self-rejection.

To think that "because it feels good" is enough reason for most people to "be nice" seems to me extremely naive. Seriously, that's the kind of thing a secular Professor Pangloss would say! In a perfect (or best of all possible) world(s), yes, the good Professor could simply say, "Everybody be nice!" and that would be enough. But that's not the world we live in. In the real world there are real conflicts between individual interests that give people objective reasons to *not* be nice. These reasons are often considerably stronger the the good feeling you get from doing the right thing. Religion did not invent things like jealousy, greed, and hate. (In fact, most religions have a good deal to say against those things.) Those motives are present in our very nature and appear when other people get in the way of us getting what we want. Would you rather be nice to a stranger who's competing with you for a girl's affection or throw him under the bus and get to be with the girl of your dreams? That is the essence of temptation, where you know the right thing to do yet have no desire to do it. To say that, in a world of ever-increasing conflict, "Wouldn't it feel good to be nice?" is all people need doesn't square with reality. Besides that there's also the fact that many people don't even accept this ideal even in theory. Go tell Nietzsche how good it feels to be nice and see what he has to say. Then go tell Ayn Rand. The funny thing about Nietzsche is that he'll explain to you that your "be nice" ethic is itself a slave morality created by religion! tl;dr Some of the most famous atheists in the modern era explicitly reject your ethic of niceness. For the rest of us, "niceness feels so good" isn't always enough when it comes to living in a world filled with unavoidable conflict. PS. After re-reading this, some of it comes off as a bit aggressive, and that makes me feel bad because I agree with you that being nice is the ideal we should strive for. That being said, things aren't looking good at the moment for "niceness," and if I find a religious person that has a holy book which commands them to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," I will gladly use his faith in that book to press the ethical issue instead of challenging it because I think it's silly.

I have a female friend who was actually over last night. Anyway, interesting observation: she usually is shit testing me and trying to break my frame (never, ever, ever, works) but last night I was looking swole from the gym still and she commented on how "jacked" I had gotten. 1st night in literally forever where she wasn't shit testing, being bitchy and basically fell in line. **tl;dr** hit the fucking gym, makes every aspect of life easier.

I'm no expert but am prior military, bullets have a low drag coefficient. Their shape and their spin contribute to this. The wind isn't blowing a bullet. Air masses shift. As an air mass shifts or changes speed or direction we feel that change and call it wind. Bullets are like tiny airplanes in huge air masses. A safe assumption is that a bullet will shift an inch per mile an hour wind. Compared to a plane, cannon ball, or other larger objects in flight this isn't drastic. The caliber of a bullet also plays a role. Larger caliber, larger shift. Smaller caliber, smaller shift. Humidity, air temp, elevation, load size, and barrel temp also play a part in the bullet trajectory. TL;DR Bullets travel through air masses and they shift with the mass. The size and characteristics of a bullet determine how drastic the shift is.

Screen shot - I sent /u/reese_ridley a PM asking why my post was removed and they said "because it's stupid" and when I pressed him further he replied with copypasta again. I submitted the SRD thread involving the shilling mods to /r/Drama and SRS posters and friends attempted to downvote it from their modmail, IRC, /r/kamen, /r/kamensghost, and /r/bleuduke. Everything that you need to know about what has happened this weekend is right here and if anything gets deleted by mods looking to cover their asses then I have screenshots. TL;DR: /u/stopscopiesme and /u/IAmAN00bie/ are SRS shills and their actions speak louder than their untruthful words. /u/reese_ridley is shilling for both of them because he is waiting for them to mod him in /r/cringepics and because he is friends with them and some of the other people that make up the /r/Braveryjerk, /r/circlejerk, and /r/circlebroke cliques around reddit that /u/LeftoNhahe fell into while he was trolling and after he was removed as a moderator from /r/SRSsucks and /r/TumblrInAction.

I live in Copenhagen, and a quick way to show you the weather is via statistical data in a nice couple of graphs (it's in Danish, but a quick site translation should make it readable): www.mitrejsevejr.dk/l/danmark/klima-koebenhavn-vejr-temperaturer-vandtemperatur.php In short it will tell you, that the temperature (in Celsius) will top around 8 degrees during the day and fall to just above freezing during the night. With only a few real hours of sun you will really get to enjoy the Nordic darkness (no sarcasm -- I love it) and since Denmark gets the lion's share of its precipitation during the winter there is a good chance of rain. I say chance because we often get a cold snap in the second half of November, so it will probably be snow. TL;DR: Copenhagen will be cold, dark, wet and lovely :)

IMO it still comes down to zombies. Right now player killing happens so frequently because there is hardly any reason to work together (with a stranger at least) and there is little repercussion for blowing someones face off in a populated area. Ideally the major towns would be littered with zombies, to the point that walking in there alone is basically suicide. So you would only go in there if you need something (like if you needed to get medicine at the hospital) or if you have a capable group. If firing your weapon attracted 75 zombies than you aren't gonna shoot someone for shits and giggles. TL;DR Making player lives more valuable just gives people more to lose and therefore makes you MORE likely to off someone you see for fear that they might get the jump on you later.

Heyo, fellow PDR-c owner here. If you can't find any pmags, might I suggest the lonex flash mags? I use the polymer versions in mine and it's a really tight fit, but with enough force, it'll come out every time. If you need mid caps I can't really say anything but try your luck with other company's with polymer mags. As for the mosfet, if you really must then try a burst avocado, or if you're good with electrical work then any mosfet that that offers fire control. But just some fair warning, as you probably already know, there isn't a lot of space to worth with on the interior. I can suggest and alternative though. There is a big-ish hex screw that is located above where the trigger assembly is on the inside. You might need to remove the barrel assembly to get at it. If you tighten it you essentially tighten the stiffnes of the two stage trigger, making the jump from semi to auto harder to pull and less likely of accidental auto-fire. I'm pretty sure most refs only care if you abuse full auto. Also on a side note, I hear that because the gun operates with a micro-switch trigger it doesn't suffer from arching like other switches do. But I'm not sure how true that is. TL:DR, try the lonex flash mags, they work for me(with some force) Not much room in the gun for mosfet Try stiffening the trigger pull with the method I described Good luck! Edit: I just did some research and it turns out you should get a mosfet if you are using higher voltage batteries like 11.1's. Micro-switches still suffer from arcing.

Many of the the in-game items are renewable (to an extent). Diamond tools can be traded from villager with emeralds, which can be created from wheat, which is renewable. Iron and gold farms of huge proportions will reign supreme, but in reality the availability of resource for the community isn't as bad of a situation such as Skyblock, which will most likely leave the most desirable items that are not renewable as either raw diamonds, obisidian, or lava. TL:DR, everything in minecraft is renewable and the mindcrack crew will be very good at exploiting that

This guybis right. I am a PC guy, never had an iPad, iPhone or Mac. Out of all the tablet out there, iPad is really really good. It's good because its user friendly and its software & hardware is optimized for each other. Android tablets like Samsung and Sony might be fast in paper but the software support is huge and they are optimized for a wide range of product. So you wont get 100% performance for a single type of product. After a while it will get slow if you dont know what you are doing. tldr ; iPad is foolproof and user friendly

To add to your last point, I'd say there are other benefits to text based communication that are also similar to the benefits today. When we go on reddit we can skim through a few dozen 2-3 sentence comments in only a few minutes without missing much information. Imagine trying to do that with a few dozen recorded voice transmissions. "Crap, what did she say? Let me rewind that. Oh, space nazis? Crap, which ship did she say she was on? Where are they right now? Computer, restart message *again*." Going through that entire process for a fleet worth of daily updates would get tiring, whereas text-based messages can be skimmed for important details, then easily reread if they contain something that might need to get passed up the chain of command. A voice based transmission would be something of a rarity, like when Picard needs to relay something to an admiral personally so he can skip over whoever reads the daily message traffic and tell the admiral about something important. Which admittedly happens a lot, but then again Enterprise-D gets into deep shit a lot also. It goes the other way, too. We also see admirals contacting Picard and Sisko personally when they have big important news to pass along that can't wait for message traffic bureaucracy. Another benefit of direct vocal communication is that questions can be asked and details can be clarified. If starfleet or a ship has a relatively simple message to pass along, one that doesn't raise any questions or doesn't need a lot of clarification, then text would probably be preferable. TL;DR: Text communication is easier to digest, particularly when the contents of the message don't require clarification.

A cat CANNOT eat a vegan or vegetarian diet. Doing so is torture and will kill the animal. If you have a cat, the best thing that you can do is know what company you're buying from, what's in their food and as much info as you can. No matter what, there will be meat in it which means another dead animal. Dogs are omnivores so they can be vegetarian but you need to know what you're doing. They can get their protein from other sources as well as all the nutrients that they need but you need to ensure that you've giving your dog what his diet requires. If not, it's also torture. If your dog is not getting used to it, stops eating, keeps looking for other food sources, you know that there likely is an issue and this diet may not be for your pooch. TL:DR Your cat is a carnivore and NEEDS meat. Denying a carnivore something that they need to survive is slowly torturing them to death. Your dog is an omnivore. A vegetarian diet can be done BUT know what you're doing or buy renown veg dog food if you're not making your own. A vet visit with some blood-work for a veg dog might be a good idea to ensure that everything is doing well after a month or so. I would do this even if my dog looked healthy and was as playful as ever, etc because animal companions are family members and I'll do anything to ensure that they are healthy and happy. If you're feeding your cat veg food atm, you're cruel and unethical.

Unfortunately, I will be in Japan and seeing them both would be a BLAST. But coming from a little bit more objective standpoint, I would have to go with his set with Rayel at the Palladium. My reasoning is that this is just the beginning of the rise of Rayel in the past 1-2 years and his music is phenomenal (his mashups especially). Also, Rayel is only in the US for a few gigs and so chances of seeing him are more rare. TL;DR: See them both! You will not be disappointed.

Overall: You were invited to a party, and not only did you **encourage and lead** a bunch of dudes to check out your "friend's" naked body while she was passed out, you then fucked her fiance. The guy that she financially supports and is planning to marry, you fucked, on her couch, while she slept, after showing guys her naked body. . You need to tell your "friend" what happened. Besides it being *the right thing to do,* how long do you think it'll be before one of the guys opens his mouth about how you were behaving that evening? That is NOTHING she should have to hear from anybody besides you. Well, her fiance should be confessing, but you can't control him, and he's already proven himself to be a piece of shit who doesn't care about her feelings. PLEASE don't let yourself also be a piece of shit, and tell your friend what happened, and take whatever consequences that are coming because frankly, you deserve them. . You should've done a lot to prevent the situations that happened, but my guess is that you really loved being the only girl in a group of flirty guys, and I don't think a single thing happened that you didn't invite with your behavior. You should've left, stopped drinking, called someone for a ride, or at the *very least,* joined your "friend" in her room and gone to sleep, if none of the other options were available to you. You betrayed her trust and your own self-respect, and you should wipe the slate clean and move forward with a clear conscience. . tl;dr You're not coming to any of my parties.
