thcgoat12 | I don't know, are they? Do you know of any examples of China provoking Japan to the degree of Japanese prime minister visiting war criminals' shrine/memorial? All I'm saying is Japan should just stop with their nationalistic agendas that could start controversies. Then if something bad happens they are asking us to clean up the mess, we are not doing that b/c we are not their fucking tool, that's what I'm saying.
tl;dr: Japan, just stfu and behave yourselves b/c we are not your tool and we won't clean up after your mess. | I don't know, are they?

father_figa | I am an older guy and I would have to answer your question of whether your male friends will change as you get older as yes and no.
First, you find men at a unique time in our history. In my opinion, there is a male identity crisis that few people acknowledge or want to discuss. With the progress that women have made and the changes in society as a result, many men have no base from which to view themselves as men (and consequently as adults).
I would argue that for centuries, men have operated as defenders and supporters of women and children. Our roles as supporters and defenders of women are fairly gone. Additionally, we have no rites of passage to signify a point at which to start being "men" (whatever that is).
Things like buying houses, cars, and having children are associated with our role as men from an era that no longer benefits us when tied to no purpose other than to do for women and children things they no longer want or need from us.
Until men have a reason to pursue bigger goals than immediate gratification many of us will continue to pursue just that. Until we create a new identity that is either entirely male focused or complimentary to the new goals of women, we will find no purpose in doing the things our fathers considered the office of men.
Many men still follow the old paths that defined manhood. I am former Air Force and still work with them as a civilian. I know plenty of men who are millionaires and are focused on houses, family and business pursuits of all types. Seek them out if you want, they are not very hard to find, although, they may be "older" men in general.
Those males who are on Reddit, social media, video games, smoking weed, poor or otherwise non-traditional, are doing no more than they feel society requests of them. They feel they owe society nothing. They feel society has given them nothing. They have no other identity and feel they don't belong. They cannot and have not adjusted to a system that wants to jail them, control them, constrain them and use them as cannon fodder or muscle for the machine.
Suffice it to say, that your unambitious male friends are in a proverbial wilderness. they are as lost as the Hebrew slaves who had been given their freedom (I am not a christian myself).There is a good chance many of them will die young, penniless, childless and with little support.
We are in a process of undoing a social order that took centuries to create. Males in general will adapt, but I believe it will be a long long time before we see a settled new world "Man". In the mean time, I would suggest you learn to embrace ambiguity. Our spirits are broken. Give us a few decades of failure to get back on a different horse please.
TL:DR Men will eventually regain a workable identity. You exist in a time when men are creating a new identity and have no ancient path to follow. | I am an older guy and I would have to answer your question of whether your male friends will change as you get older as yes and no.

jedifreac | This is really going to depend on the context of the environment. All cis gay men to some extent are hypersexualized by society as a way to dehumanize and objectify them. That's where all of the "no homo" and "predatory gay" stereotype stuff comes from and Asian American communities are no exception to this. If you're a gay guy in America, regardless of your race, you are going to have to deal with people prying about your personal life and even asking really inappropriate questions about your sex life. It is really uncomfortable and messed up.
As part of orientalist stereotypes, yes, in modern American society Asian men in general are currently racialized as asexual, but IMHO this is primarily applicable to straight passing Asian men. Furthermore, this "emasculation" of Asian men is done to fuel white patriarchal ego--these asexualizing stereotypes fuel colonialist fantasies and myths. On the other hand, in a lot of gay circles, gay Asian men tend to be hypersexualized the way Asian women are. Just look at the exotifying and dehumanizing way Asian men are depicted in gay porn.
Tl;dr-- you are asking if dehumanizing stereotypes "work in favor" for gay Asian men. How could a flattening and dehumanizing stereotype ever truly work "in favor" for anybody? Unfortunately, Asian American queer folk have to deal with a double whammy (in some cases, a triple whammy) of intersecting stereotypes for being both queer and Asian. | This is really going to depend on the context of the environment.

HoneybeeGuy | I assume you mean honeybees specifically as they are the major commercial pollinator? Basically, because we have so many of them. In the US for example, the western honeybee is a non-native species, and in a lot of cases there are native bees (bumblebees or solitary bees for example) or some flies or other beasties that are more efficient at pollinating certain plants than honeybees (honeybees are pants at pollinating tomatoes for example). That being said, honeybees come in a nice package of a number of thousand workers in a hive, that hive can be made to split, creating new hives and can (maybe not should) be moved around to where needs pollination at that time, so they are able to be used by us for pollination, rather than just hoping nature takes its course.
TL;DR We are dependent on bees because we have domesticated bees for the purpose of pollination. | I assume you mean honeybees specifically as they are the major commercial pollinator?

pastah_rhymez | Don't miss out on non-FFG-games! This fall/summer/whenever AEG is reprinting **[Doomtown]( It's a western themed game which plays with 2+ players, so no more waiting for that odd out player at your Netrunner nights! If you want to know about the setting then you should definetly watch **[The Quick and the Dead]( (which is a freaking awesome movie!).
***
**Game of Thrones** is a great game for two, but it can be a bit complex. If you want to get into this, find a friend and play the [HBO edition]( and play it with said friend. It's dirt cheap on the BGG Marketplace.
***
**Call of Cthulhu** is a game for 2-4. There are a few 3+ player variants, but I've heard that the "french variant" is the best and FFGs own is pretty bad in comparison. Building economy in this game works like MtG with a nice twist. Instead of having to draw lands you get to place one card per turn of your desired color as an economy card. Nifty solution (The Spoils does something similar). And also: monsters!!
***
**Star Wars: The Card Game** is about placing dudes and killing the other guys dudes. Has a moderate amount of bluffing and deck building is kind of limited, but that makes it a great beginners game. There's an expansion which allows games of 3-4 players but I haven't it yet. Seems pretty cool.
***
**Lord of the Rings: The Card Game** - I have a friend who is really intelligent but only plays RPGs because in winning games there usually has to be some sort of foul play involved (he gets enough of assholery in real life, no need to taint his hobbies with it). When I showed him LotR he said "Damn it! If it didn't happend! You actually showed me a game I really like!". Co-op games usually sucks ass, but this is one of those rare occurances where it's extremely good. Plays with 1-4, but 3 is probably the best.
***
**Warhammer** - which one? **WH: Invasion** is "done". Some MtG player told me that that one was broken but idunno. The new one, **WH40K: Conquest** might be cool. But I'm not as much a sucker for that universe as some might be...
***
**TLDR**: Buy the HBO Version of Game of Thrones and play that a lot. Get the LotR core set and play a few times and then watch The Quick and the Dead so that you know that you will have to get Doomtown when it's released. If you stumble upon Star Wars, you owe it to yourself to try it.

fireman1972 | [If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM)]( is a good place to start.
When I was aiming to lose 1.5 lbs per week, I was allotted 1800-1900 calories per day (at the time). My goal weight was 165 lbs, so I aimed for 165 g of protein per day. It just happened to work out to 40% of my calories coming from protein. I didn't pay much attention to carbs and fats.
I perform HIIT workouts 4-5 times per week, and as my weight fell off, my calories reduced as well. I was out of energy when I was down to 1600 cal/day. I changed to losing 0.5 lbs per week, which boosted my calories back to around 2000/day, and the energy returned, and the remaining 10 lbs came off. I am in maintainence mode at around 2200 calories per day and taking in ~205-210 g of protein per day.
I want to get the carbs and fats in line too, and researching IIFYM tells me I will do well to cut back on protein and increase the carbs.

Limin8tor | I'm reading a biography on Landry called "The Last Cowboy" that's very interesting, and talks about the rivalry between the two men. Landry owned the Defense, and Lombardi was the offensive guru. The Giants' owner, Wellington Mara, informally promised both men that they would get the head coaching job when the then Giants coach, Jim Lee Howell, retired. Lombardi, tired of being put off for the HC job eventually left for Green Bay (though he later had secret talks about coming back as HC in NY down the line). Landry, seeing the writing on the wall when Allie Sherman was brought in to replace Lombardi as OC and was treated as the heir apparent, left for Dallas a year or two later, bolstered by a statement from Howell that Landry was the "best coach in the league."
Apparently Landry and Lombardi were cordial, but never close. They had very different lifestyles. Lombardi came from a Catholic immigrant family in New York, was loved by his players and had a certain propensity for alternating between bombast and being crestfallen that led Landry to refer to him as "Mr. High-low." Landry, on the other hand, was a staid, man from a small Bible Belt Texas town who was respected, but rarely loved by the people he coached, who was seen as reserved, aloof, and understated, in victory and defeat. They had very different perspectives. According to the book (a good read, by the way), they had a healthy respect for each other, but didn't really understand each other, and certainly had a healthy, if not heated, rivalry as well.

If you don't have a local game store yet then look [here]( The LGS is where you can go to buy mtg product, meet new players, play with others, and maybe, eventually, play in tournaments. If you don't have an LGS close to you then send me a PM, I can give you some tips on buying Magic stuff without a game store nearby.
As soon as you can, start transitioning to [booster boxes]( for getting new packs. This is the most cost effective way to open packs. If you can't afford it right away try to find a friend to split a box with you, make sure you split the *packs* not the *cards*.
When you buy packs always buy from the newest block, which is to say the cards released this year. These cards will spend the longest time in [Standard]( which is the format with the most players. Right now the Newest Sets are Theros and Born of the Gods FYI.
Avoid buying individual cards if at all possible. Instead trade the ones you have either to the store or better yet to other players. This will keep your actual money free for more booster boxes. Get a binder that can hold your valuable cards that are for trade, take it with you if you go to the game store so you can trade.
When trading always remember to check whatever anyone says about card prices online, you can do that [here]( Only trade if you want to, and don't **ever** feel pressured to do a trade you don't like. You are in control of your cards until you shake hands, no one else has a claim to them.
I would suggest learning to [draft]( because this is a way to both play the game and open more packs for value. If you want to learn to draft I would suggest using [Magic the Gathering Online]( for $10 you can do a bunch of really cheap drafts to get used to how drafting works.
As far as playing goes, I would suggest playing [Commander]( to start. Commander is about big explosive multiplayer games and it is the *cheapest format for new players*. All you need to play Commander is a deck designed built for the format, and Magic just happens to sell really good prebuilt [decks]( for around [$20]( ready to play.
This hobby can be overwhelming to take in at first, but the main reason I see people quit playing magic is that they get screwed out of all their cards in trades or they get convinced to spend way too much money before they even learn what everything is worth. I started playing only about a year ago and today magic is my favorite hobby. Have fun and end wisely. Find videos and articles online that explain the different aspects of the hobby and find some friends who like to play. Soon you will be established in Magic and you can help other new players get started in magic.
**Waaaaaaaay TL;DR**: Try not to buy anything without asking yourself, **"how is this going to help me have more fun?"**. | Hi, glad to see more people joining the hobby.

ThereIRuinedIt | I personally think that if you have the right mental approach to martial arts, you can learn something from anyone, even a beginner. People with disadvantageous physical attributes tend to learn creative ways to be dangerous. It helps to train with a diversity of people.
I trained once with this hippy-looking dude who was super skinny and didn't have an ounce of muscle on him. But he had a very dangerous guard and landed triangles pretty often. The only time I went unconscious fighting off a triangle in training was going against that skinny fucker who looked like a failed accountant.
I trained once (very briefly) with a brown belt woman. Her fucking guard was ridiculously flexible and agile. I couldn't understand why I wasn't able to pass her guard. Every time I got close, she found a way to get her legs back into position. Unfortunately, I was only able to roll with her a couple of times. She was a guest instructor. My loss.
Myself personally, I am not a tall dude and started out not weighing much, yet I trained with mostly wrestlers who were larger than me. I quickly learned to develop my own technique (mostly for defense) that frustrated people. From what I have heard of Eddie Bravo's past, this is exactly how he started developing his rubber guard 10th planet shit. As I watch some of his techniques, I remember doing things similar to that, though not nearly as intricate. I remember landing a gogoplata once on someone before I knew what a gogoplata was. I was doing weird flexible high guard shit with this larger wrestler who was applying pressure, and I saw that I could wrap my foot around his throat and...holy shit he fucking tapped. What the fuck was that? The point is that I may not have even tried something like that if I wasn't a smaller guy training with larger wrestlers.
**The cons of training with a woman**, for me, was having occasional awkward grappling situations. I remember the first time I trained with a girl once who had a very large chest. I had mount and was naturally going for an armbar and realized my habit of putting my hands on the chest area ... right on her gigantic boob. Fuck...sorry.. God damn it. So I immediately apologized and learned to adjust my technique pretty quickly. Luckily, it wasn't a big deal to her. Cool.
Another girl (she was very new to grappling) started training with us and she was trying for a triangle choke but ended up with a leg scissors position around my head... and wasn't even close to getting it, but my fucking face was right in her crotch for like a full minute as I was trying to pry her legs off. The thing was, her husband was training with us too and he was watching, and he was a cool dude who was just there to support her because she wanted to get into grappling/jiu jitsu. She thought she had a choke, so she didn't want to let go of the position. She played soccer so her legs were pretty strong, and I was trying not to push off her ass. That was a little awkward.
Oh, one unfortunate thing that can happen at a gym when training with women, I saw guys act inappropriately toward a "new girl" on two occasions. One time in particular, this wrestler guy kept getting her into awkward positions and talking to her playfully and she was clearly not enjoying it. She was very enthusiastic and had a great attitude and his behavior could potentially fuck that up. I stopped them and said another guy wanted to show her a specific technique. The wrestler dude got upset about it. I switched with her (so I was grappling with him) and I immediately smelled a faint scent of alcohol on his breath. That pissed me off. He was bigger than me, but I pushed really hard and dominated position with him, held him in side control and got his back, went to mount, scrambled and threatened an arm triangle. He was not having a good day. He stopped from exhaustion and I imagine almost throwing up. Fuck that dude. I don't think he trained with us again after that day.
Anyway, just keep an open mind. Everyone has some potential to be a badass in some way. If you are their training partner, you should be trying to improve while helping them to become a badass, whether a man or a woman.

bones7056 | true not 100% is random but most are. very rarely do they really control them. Also im in the time zone where DE is based on as a main time and i still will see great stuff when i sleep. there's no pleasing everyone. And the ones they do control are potatoes, but occasionally they will take something into their hands. For example the last dev stream gave a glaive for Melee 2.0 but besides that there have been other cases where they have to do something but honestly i can only think of 1 other time. when vauban alerts where messed up and that was months ago.

lordhughes | Got my pcdl through Barclays. Never again. They screwed up my application and lost several forms I had sent them. I had to open an account with them and getting the woman to just open a normal account no extras no overdraft was a mission In itself. She even went as far as actually filling out the form for the account I didn't want even though I told her several times to just open a normal current account, if I hadn't of checked properly before signing then I would of been liable for the monthly fee for the extras I didn't bloody won't.

thatguy3444 | No offense, but why do you think this?
It won't change anything... you will combine the hash rates and combine the payout. So the difficulty will go up, but so will the payout.
Further, Doge is not significantly more profitable than LTC mining, so any increase in difficulty will be commensurate with the payout. There will be almost no change, except that half of the Doge you are currently receiving will be paid in LTC instead - all we have to do is (automatically) trade it at an exchange or mine with an auto-exchanging pool.

maximumpanda | with this deal we would essentially be creating the biggest multipool ever. the LTC guys are 3x our current hashrate and will force out a large majority of our dedicated doge miners as they will see far fewer rewards than they already do (keep in mind multipools are already a large part of our hashrate). we would essentially drown our value, and people cant see the blatant contempt coblee has for our community, then I fear for our future.

maximumpanda | except currently you can assume close to 60% (conservatively low) of mined doge from block rewards are being held and not introduced to the exchanges. if you scale that to what the addition of mining power is, that 60% now becomes about 13% (conservatively high) of all minors can be expected to hold their doge. this means that the amount of newly introduced doge will go from 40% to roughly 88%%. as the new miners are not primarily doge holders, you can expect them to act like a multipool, mining and dumping at below exchange rate.
hopefully you can see why this is bad.. we are basically giving the thumbs up for multipools that are combined 3x the size of our hashrate to start mining (and remember we already have multipools mining us).
seeing as how dogecoin holders already have less than a 15% chance to get a block (and then you need to be in 1 of the many many pools which split that 15%) the amount of generated LTC that can be expected to be traded to doge is ludicrously low compared to their already existing traffic.
TLDR: we might be able to convert LTC->doge but they will dump doge->LTC at a much faster rate and have a much steeper effect on our value than we will have on theirs. | except currently you can assume close to 60% (conservatively low) of mined doge from block rewards are being held and not introduced to the exchanges. if you scale that to what the addition of mining power is, that 60% now becomes about 13% (conservatively high) of all minors can be expected to hold their doge. this means that the amount of newly introduced doge will go from 40% to roughly 88%%. as the new miners are not primarily doge holders, you can expect them to act like a multipool, mining and dumping at below exchange rate.

| dogecoin | t5_2zcp2 | cgml2qh | except currently you can assume close to 60% (conservatively low) of mined doge from block rewards are being held and not introduced to the exchanges. if you scale that to what the addition of mining power is, that 60% now becomes about 13% (conservatively high) of all minors can be expected to hold their doge. this means that the amount of newly introduced doge will go from 40% to roughly 88%%. as the new miners are not primarily doge holders, you can expect them to act like a multipool, mining and dumping at below exchange rate.
hopefully you can see why this is bad.. we are basically giving the thumbs up for multipools that are combined 3x the size of our hashrate to start mining (and remember we already have multipools mining us).

GravyMcBiscuits | >sometimes that means a different area / longer commute
This is why I really think commute costs should be part of the equation. Just using mortgage/rent is a bit misleading as it favors a lower mortgage vs a longer commute.
Commute costs add up a lot faster than people realize ... especially when you consider total wear-n-tear. Even just for gas for a 10 mile commute ...
30 miles/gal * total round trip (20) = .66 gallons per day.
.66 gallons * 3.75 = $2.47 per workday
260 workdays * $2.47 = $642/year
642 / 12 = $53.50 / mo
Remember ... that $53.50 per month is pure gas costs and assume 30 miles to the gallon. Total wear-n-tear on the car is significantly more ... but trickier to calculate assuming you'll own a car whether your commute is 2 miles vs 15.
TLDR: Ignoring commute costs when considering the 30% rule is not advised. | >sometimes that means a different area / longer commute

Slowly just make everyone homeless, create a welfare system, demonize those in the welfare system, give them as little needed so they don't revolt, have them work "jobs" for their welfare, automate everything but keep the most valuable stuff for yourself, give the welfare state just enough to keep them from killing everyone.

CaspianX2 | You're more right than you know.
Republicans' current game-plan is, in the grand scheme of things, short-term and ultimately suicidal. Granted, their actions probably won't truly affect them for a few decades at least, but when it does it'll be hard and unforgiving.
Right now, they are appealing to the sensibilities of the Baby Boomers that are their biggest voting bloc, and in the face of the progression of time are fighting harder and shouting louder to do so. But the Baby Boomers won't live forever, and when they start leaving the voting pool due to mortality, the political landscape will be left with those who grew up during the generally good Clinton years, with the first major political memory being the Clinton affair witch-hunt. This followed by the jaw-droppingly bad Bush years, and now the further insanity during Obama's term.
I'm not just speculating this either - polls show that young people of the last few generations have been increasingly more liberal, and while short-term demographics show a trend in increasing minority polulation that's becoming a huge worry to Republicans (Texas will likely be a purple state in the next decade or so due to this), in the long-term the way they've alienated the youth will bite them even harder than how they've alienated minorities.
**tl;dr** - the harder Republicans push to the right now, the harder it'll hit them once the baby boomer start dying off. | You're more right than you know.

SushiGato | Like everything, employment goes in waves. It is a 'natural' cycle of supply and demand. If there is a lot of supply and little demand for a job, the employer can pick the candidate they want and pay them less. Back in the 1990's it was the opposite. People would graduate from college and have their pick of businesses to make $50k from, even with a shit Poly Sci degree like mine.
You better believe that in ten years a college degree will be more valuable than it is today. The economy is forcing people away from the humanities and towards trades. Less people going to school, which is happening, = more opportunity for current degree holders. I'd bet money on this happening, if I had any.
I have worked the corporate world since I graduated. Was fortunate and found a decent $30k a year job right after work. Now stuck in Customer Service, making about a dollar more an hour after many years. "He can type well, and write a well though out thesis, let's make him do e-mails."
It sucks. I hate it. But what can you do but wait? I will be going back to school in the fall to get a Masters in Instruction so I can be a teacher. We will always need teachers. Plus, many of them get further education paid for. A big benefit.

KettleMeetPot | As a 34 year old, when I was in my teens this type of advice still worked, but I was too young for it to start applying. Between the age of 14-28 I could basically walk in to any place and have a job before I walked back out. As my experience grew, so did my starting pay. The last "secure" job I had was in 2009, with only a handful of college credits and based primarily on my experience only, I got a job as a NOC tech in a data center starting out @ $14 an hour not counting quarterly bonuses that ranged from $500-$2000 depending on how we did in that quarter and my performance, I was a top performer. After my 2nd year including bonuses and holiday pay I was clearing $55k a year, full benefits, and only working 4 days a week (I worked night shifts 4-8pm, midnight-8am) doing something I thoroughly enjoyed.
Once the economy and the bailouts started to move in, the company I worked for made cutbacks, being the newest and lowest on the totem pole I was one of many who were let go. Since then it's been a circus act of side jobs, contract jobs, working with friends who run their own businesses etc. etc. I've applied from everything from sys admin jobs which I'm qualified for, to working in fast food and I get told the same things -
"You have too much experience"
or
"You don't have enough experience"
Right now I'm a commercial fisherman. A friend of mine has been doing it since he was 9, it's a family thing. Season is closed 2 months out of the year, luckily he found us a landscaping job for this month and next month, and because his uncle and dad are disabled he needs to start finding people he can rely on to run one of the multiple boats they own. So if I stick around, I might have that... which would be nice, running my own boat, being my own boss, and relying on my work ethic.
But it's still not what I originally planned on. I wanted to be a marine biologist, until I found out I could never afford the college tuition that was needed to actually make it anywhere. Then I set my sights on IT, since it was the hot new job market in the 90's and early 00's and because my mom had been and still is in a successful position within her company I figured it would be a "steady" and "reliable" job with plenty of room for advancement. Not now, it's all contract and temporary employment placement. At least at my skill level. I've steadily watched over the past 8 years, the pay continuously drop. It's gone from 13-18 an hour starting out, to 10-12 an hour starting out at a new place of employment in the same field, and they want more out of you than they did before.
The worst part for those like myself who have to keep busy and keep their mind running and constantly thinking or with ego problems, to go from having a steady job, and the ability to just go somewhere else without batting an eye... it destroys you from the inside out. I've pretty much battled with depression due to this since 2009 when I lost my "secure" career path. Any and all motivation to "succeed" is "blah".
But, bills have to be paid, food has to be purchased, etc. etc. etc. so I like many others do "what I can". It is what it is. It's an epidemic that a lot of people aren't really grasping in its entirety and how it's going to affect us socially and economically in the next 20 years or so. Especially considering the uprising of people under 25 who were raised during the economic boom with a sense of entitlement. Who continue to perform poorly at their job because they "expect" a certain amount of respect or pay just for showing up on time.

asthasr | Well, keep this in mind among the doom and gloom about tech recruitment. Almost all recruited jobs are through these companies, for a couple of reasons:
1. Hiring programmers and other tech staff is very risky.
2. Filtering people for skill is hard, and the recruiters, while bad at it, do usually filter out the crazies. Usually.
3. Coming on as a contractor, *and doing a good job*, is how you develop a network that will eventually get you hired full-time or help you move to another company when you need to do so.
Point three is crucial today. Nobody stays at a single job for more than a few years, so any company where you know someone can potentially become a resource that you can use in the future. Thus, try your damnedest to be good at your job and pleasant to your colleagues—because while doing so has great benefits in itself, one of the indirect effects is that you avoid the consequences you'd suffer if people don't like you, or think you're incompetent.
**tl;dr:** Go into the job with a good attitude. Try hard. Do well. Make friends. Those friends will help you get more jobs when you need them. | Well, keep this in mind among the doom and gloom about tech recruitment. Almost all recruited jobs are through these companies, for a couple of reasons:

UNMANAGEABLE | Here's the thing about people who passionately work hard and try their best every single day that can't seem to get a good job/catch a break. Yes, a good % of them are unlucky. However, not being educated with how the systems work will cause good people/workers to be stuck in their crappy low paying jobs.
The hardest workers who don't understand these concepts WILL get buried in their job/department for these reasons. Knowing how to get out is harder than how to get in.
1. Their are very few people in upper positions/management who will reach out to a hard working employee no matter what the circumstance is. If you want more money/better job and you don't want to leave your company you have to reach out yourself, it's nobody's job but your own to network and make connections and build bridges (and not burn them). If you want a senior/executive mentor, YOU ASK AND YOU MAKE TIME FOR THEM. They are more than willing, but you have to make the effort.
2. The world is bigger than a shop/department. It's a basic principle that for every mechanic turning a wrench in a corporation there are 5-8 employees supporting that employee. WHO ALL MAKE MORE MONEY THAN THE MECHANIC. Find a way to delve into this world, even if off hours.
3. Degrees are a hall pass in major corporations, if you don't have one you are only able to get into unique jobs if you know somebody or get lucky. If you have one it is completely up to you to knock on every door at the company incessantly to try to get in.
4. Accept it now that if you want to get paid better younger do not expect to work in a field/type of work you enjoy. Put your time in, pay your dues, and get into what you want to do when you are older.
5. Always keep in mind that to a corp, you are just a number. This is not democracy these days, it's the United States of Corporate America, they have the money and power to hire people for cheaper who will work harder than you will. Having a good reputation inside of the company raises your personal "stock value" to your employer. If they think they can make more money off of you in a better higher paying position, they will put you there.
6. Never stop applying to jobs you want. I'll give the example at my company. Unless people have ABET certified engineering degrees or MIT/Harvard type schools on your record, most people need to apply to 30+ jobs of any type before getting an interview, people without degrees is normally 60+ depending on the needs of the company at the time. This is big business in a saturated market at it's best. Even the best resumes get overlooked when there 1000 people applying for a $50,000 office administrator job. It's the facts of life.
I can probably make about a 100 point bullet list on the facts of working life outside of small mom and pops companies but these are true for the most part (I always accept that there are exceptions to these rules at all times.)
TL;DR if you want to get paid you have to work hard not only at your job, but at your network yourself. No one else will do it for you. | Here's the thing about people who passionately work hard and try their best every single day that can't seem to get a good job/catch a break. Yes, a good % of them are unlucky. However, not being educated with how the systems work will cause good people/workers to be stuck in their crappy low paying jobs.
The hardest workers who don't understand these concepts WILL get buried in their job/department for these reasons. Knowing how to get out is harder than how to get in.
Their are very few people in upper positions/management who will reach out to a hard working employee no matter what the circumstance is. If you want more money/better job and you don't want to leave your company you have to reach out yourself, it's nobody's job but your own to network and make connections and build bridges (and not burn them). If you want a senior/executive mentor, YOU ASK AND YOU MAKE TIME FOR THEM. They are more than willing, but you have to make the effort.

astroK120 | I see what you're saying and it bothered me a lot the first time I saw it. But the second time I changed my mind. To me that scene as the last time he did things his dad's way -- not using his powers and risking discovery. Despite him being super, his Dad is still his dad, and when he looks at him and essentially says, "No, let me die," Clark hates it but obeys. But in losing him makes him realize that he doesn't want to live that way and he can't do it anymore. It takes him paying such a deep price to finally realize that no, he can't stay on the sidelines.
From that point on, he chooses to help. At first he still tries to be anonymous, going from place to place and doing what he can only to disappear once he's revealed his power. But when push comes to shove and his choice is do nothing or fully reveal himself, he does it. I have to think that watching Pa die when he had the power to stop it was the defining moment in his life, the one that made him give himself up without hesitation.
tl;dr - I think the fact that he could have saved Pa Kent actually makes it a more defining moment in Clark's life. | I see what you're saying and it bothered me a lot the first time I saw it.

Echochamber52 | From a BC perspective we cannot afford this in a globalized Near-ZIRP economy. Period.
It **DOES NOT** "just cost $7 per day". Quebec receives $8bn/yr (EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR) in federal transfer payments, yet they are still crippled with high taxes and runaway debt loads.
The major players pushing this in the media every 8 months in BC are these people:
**Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC**
**Early Childhood Educators of British Columbia**
Here is a list of other interested ~~shills~~ parties:
The CCCA/ECE claims it would cost BC alone 1.5-2 billion PER YEAR, but they neglect to tell you this estimate is with NON-UNION WORKERS (among other deceptive things).
But wait! **The CCCA has a stated goal to unionize the labor in this program**. This will just be another group of thugs holding kids hostage with an egregious list of demands every other year.
From their own webpage:
*We support unionization as an important strategy for advancing the sector. Currently a number of different unions represent some BC early childhood educators, and all teachers and classroom-based school staff are represented by one of two unions. We also support the democratic right of workers to unionize and choose which union can best represent them.*
Go read their economic citations and "estimates" (aka toilet paper) for a laugh, it's full of Newspeak bullshit pulled out of their collective asses.
tl;dr
It's not going to happen. Go turn another country into an indebted shithole, if you CHOOSE to have kids then YOU pay for them.

TwilitWave | I keep re-reading this post and I can't decide how I feel about it.
On one hand, I completely agree that being upset and angry all the time isn't conducive to a happy or productive lifestyle (Though nothing from the other guys post suggest that's the way he lives).
For that matter, I agree that kindness to all - including our fellow humans of course - is our best weapon in the fight for equality and compassion.
That being said, I feel like you're being too aggressive yourself. He didn't say anything that was unkind or cruel.
Expressing ones distaste and anger for the dark things in the world is healthy, it relieves stress, it's a form of self-epxression. I don't know about the other guy, but personally it makes me very angry to know what all is going on around the world that causes both animal and humans alike to suffer.
Make no mistake, this is not so much anger with people, as anger with the cultural conditioning that keeps things this way. As you said, most people are not evil. Rather, they are often ignorant of the situation or brainwashed to ignore it and their own hypocritical thinking (Harming dogs=Bad, Harming pigs=Okay).
Obviously, none of this should make me unhappy with myself or my life, nor should I become inconsiderate or aggressive toward others. But I feel like telling someone to relax, or more importantly to become complacent by accepting things as they are may be equally dangerous.
Discomfort with a situation is what inspires positive activism - a product we dearly need if we are to spread positive change.
I'm also not sure what point is supposed to be made by saying "you're no more guilty than they are". We may all share the capacity for selfishness, but not all selfishness carries with it dire consequences for others.
Further, as a vegan you've taken steps to seek out what of your habits does harm, and attempt to remove those things. To belittle that effort is no way to encourage someone.
I'm not sure if that was your intention. And really, I agree that being vegan does not make one a saint by any means. That being said, in this one thing (the treatment if animals), are we not examples for others?
The concept of all "sin" being equal is an ancient and resilient barrier to progress in humanitarian movements (Because the philosophy behind it requires altruism to be considered pointless). Though admittedly, being as self-righteousness is trumped by humbleness in terms of social acceptance and spreading a message, how altruistic you are about a thing isn't something to lean on.
But it's not something to insult or diminish either. If I see someone doing social work, giving to a noble cause, or vocally fighting for change, I cheer them on to encourage them and encourage others to join them. Even in situations where I myself am not giving the time or resources to help out (Out of laziness or selfishness).
I might - as I often do - have read way too deeply into this. But I've written it up now, might as well post it and hope it contains something that resonates with some folk.
TL;DR: Be nice to everyone, using only example is sometimes too slow at inspiring change, we shouldn't bash altruism, and try not to snuff out activistic passion. | I keep re-reading this post and I can't decide how I feel about it.

AbsoZed | Maybe I'm wrong, but I think people focus too much on this as a whole. I know this is slightly off topic, but I'm going to post it anyway.
Who cares who takes whose name? Does it really matter? I mean, sure it's a little different for a male to take a female's name, but in the end, will it change anything?
You'll still love each other, and want to be unified with one another, and that's what marriage is really all about. Being with the person you love, and showing your commitment to them, regardless of what may happen. The name has nothing to do with it.
TL;DR: Don't worry so much about who takes whose name, as long as you love each other and are ready for marriage. Focus more on that than on the finer details like this, in my opinion, and do whatever makes you both comfortable. | Maybe I'm wrong, but I think people focus too much on this as a whole.

InkedFox | Thanks! It's really hard when you feel people are against you, we had just come home and he still had high jaundice, they had strong armed me in the hospital to add formula after nursing because my milk hadn't come in yet. I refused to give him more than 10-15ml of formula because I knew it would compromise my breastfeeding. He spit most of the formula up anyway so I don't even think he got much of it at all. My milk came in on day 3 so I promptly hid the formula and refused to use it. Bought a nipple shield to dull the pain because he was lip tied(didn't know it yet, but he tore me up). I'll never forget those words that made me shut everyone out that day "you should give him formula, he's not being satisfied by you". From my own mother. She was here to support me, even was able to make it to the birth because her plan landed the day I was induced. I just felt so betrayed. (Dramatic I know, but after the nurse in the hospital not being sympathetic about taking my son to the UV box I was on edge already). She just kept talking about how he shouldn't be wanting to nurse so much and he's not satisfied and eventually convinced my husband of it. She had no idea how breastfeeding really is because she was from the formula era, and the hospital told her I was "allergic to breastmilk" as a baby. It's not the worst thing that could happen to a mom that wants to Ebf but it was pretty disheartening to me at the time.
Lol sorry, it's still something that gets under my skin because now she asks if "you *still* breastfeeding that baby?" Yes. Yes I am.
Bahaha sorry, it always makes me rant when I go back and think about it. I'm done I swear!
TL;DR mother was uneducated with breastfeeding and said hurtful things(albeit, well intended I'm sure) after a stressful hospital stay and nearly convinced husband breast was not best. | Thanks!

If I lose money, the government isn't there saying, "here, have some money". They are a fair weather friend. I am sick of all the "oh, I can't get a job" whining from all the liberals. Make a frikkin job. I have a Brazilian woman clean my house. Hardly speaks English, but makes a decent living. There are lots of ways to make a living, but you have to get out of bed and get creative. Small business is the answer to much of the minwage/corporatism/jobless problems. Go out and steal customers from some big dumb company. They won't even notice.
Tl;DR STFU and go out and try something. Shut off the XBox and fire up your website that sells whatever you are good at.
Edit: TIL don't talk about personal experience in self-sufficiency on /politics because /politics is not real, it is liberal fantasies of the utopian world unaffected by anyone's real world experiences. | I run a small woman owned small business that I started myself.

Nosra420 | I kinda feel bad for a lot of college goers :( I dropped out of high school and started working right away. I worked a lot shitty jobs sometimes two at once (roofer bouncer pizza delivery construction) pretty much bottom of the barrel stuff but i saved my money.
By the time I was 28 I bought my own house outright no payments. I own a new car. At the same time all my friends are graduating college moving back in with their parents with a degree thats going to do fuck all for them. Im 30 now semi retired 14 years of hard work taking a few years off.. Owning everything makes it very easy to live. Without the monkey on your back of a house payment or a car payment.

HaiirPeace | I'm starting my masters degree in June and I'm so fucked in life it's not even funny. After my graduate degree I'm going to owe about $85k in loans. A large part of that is my fault because I went to culinary school right out of high school and wasted money on a baking degree that I'm not using. I'm working on my masters in library science (focusing on information technology). Right now I work full time and make $9.46/hr 40 hours a week. I live with 2 other roommates and I'm always poor as fuck. I don't qualify for SNAP benefits because my roommates make more money than me so because of that "I" make enough to eat. I have to do my masters degree or else my bachelors is going to be pretty worthless. I look for new jobs constantly and apply almost daily, no luck yet since I don't have a masters I hardly qualify for any of the good jobs. I just want enough money to have a family and be comfortable and eat. Apparently that's too much to ask for and I'll be paying off my debt until I die. I kind of wish I never went to college if my loan payments are going to be so much after I graduate it'll be like paying rent probably $400 a month+ I can barely afford my rent now let alone a second "rent" payment on top of that.
High school was so misleading. "You must pick a career now, you must go to college or you're a loser who faps all night in your parents basement."
tldr: I owe a fuck ton of money and I'm probably screwed forever. | I'm starting my masters degree in June and I'm so fucked in life it's not even funny.

leftheel | One thing I'm sure of is that spotH3D is right. Having a child will not fix your relationship and will definitely not improve your sex life. If I had to guess, it would probably be more detrimental at this point. You sound like an awesome person, and would probably be a great parent, so I am sure you don't want to subject a child to a strained home situation. Maybe having a child would make sex afterward seem naughtier and more exciting for him, but I'd err on the side of caution and not take the chance.
That said, I have a theory. Consider spicing up your [protected] sex so that it mimics a drug; use his biological wiring to your advantage. Drugs are novelty-reward based and context-dependent. Have you tried sex in thrilling/novel places? Novel/naughty positions? The more exciting the sex, the more he might associate sex with that physiological reward he used to have with drugs and he might subsequently crave it. This is purely hypothetical, but it has some scientific merit.
A waning sex life can be incredibly painful when both SOs aren't waning together. It's important to know that it is a *natural* event in every relationship, though. Don't get down on yourself! Could be a side effect from drug treatments. Could just be the natural course of your relationship. Once you figure out what's happening, then maybe consider having kids.
**TL;DR:** Wait to have kids until you are at peace and in sync with each other about the state of your sex life. | One thing I'm sure of is that spotH3D is right.

PyrohawkZ | Yeah... By trying to distinguish yourself from your nation you are being condescending - it implies that you think you are better than your nation (read:being a prick) which just makes it even more annoying. I honestly prefer the "wtf n00b feed" to "Lol, Shen. You're the only asshole here." I mean come on, look at all that redundant pronounciation! "LOL shen, you're the only asshole here" is more "normal", and even then you're still kinda flaming..
Remember that the people who "hate" russian gamers usually do so because they have bad attitudes - For example, i know that a lot of people dislike polish players (on EUNE) because in lower levels of play, there are a lot of polish players who tend to not take blame for their mistakes, which infuriates players (nevermind that there are a lot of other nationalities that do it)... When i was lower level i used to very much dislike Polish players (and still do take the occasional jab at the nationality when with friends) and would immediately regret queuing up as soon as i saw a name ending with "PL", but now I don't mind them as the majority of them don't flame abhorrently and DO acknowledge their mistakes (read: they aren't honoring their stereotypes)
TL;DR don't try to be better than your nation cause it makes you a prick, don't confirm stereotypes

banjaxe | I think the thing that everyone's overlooking is this: Does anyone realize what a teaspoon-full of this shit actually TASTES like? It tastes like pepper and burning, and not in a good way. It does not incentivize one to swallow it.
I realize that nicotine is readily absorbed through mucosal membranes such that you would find in one's mouth. But if I am squirting this into my mouth with a dripper bottle, I'm probably not gonna get past a couple drops before I spit it back out.
I think we need a simple phrase with which to fire back at all the "OMG think of the toddlers!" stories. Like maybe:
**tl;dr** yeah it SMELLS delicious, but it tastes like peppery shit in liquid form. and yeah, everybody is in favor of childproof caps. | I think the thing that everyone's overlooking is this: Does anyone realize what a teaspoon-full of this shit actually TASTES like?

wessizzle | I was fine with him last year: since pretty much all our centerbacks were hurt, his recklessness was a necessary evil. I assumed we'd thank him for his service and let him go over the offseason. That didn't happen. Then the club put out some cool videos showcasing how funny he is and I sort of forgot how erratic he was on the field. I assumed that maybe Caleb or Gavin pulled him aside and explained how important it was to keep out of trouble, that refs would be watching him closer this year...From what I've seen so far, they didn't talk to him or he didn't listen.

I found the cowling on the bauer supreme ones to have enough room between the outside edge and the plastic mold to have a shop punch out the sides.

ABProsper | I am glad no one died in that mass attack. However given how politicized everything has become I fear that reasonable attempts at getting people mental health help probably will have to be avoided.
Also let me note that handguns aren't massively more dangerous than knives .
In the recent Fort Hood incident, a surprisingly simkl;ar incident (institutional space and almost the same time frame) the shooter who was a trained soldier equipped with .45 caliber handgun a caliber considered to be highly effective killed 3 and wounded 16 in his rampage
While no one was killed at the school thank goodness and the wounds were less serious , the kid than ran amok was a small shy teen armed only with a knife. he certainly could have brought molotov cocktails or other non firearm weapons and had he been stronger the death toll would have been higher.
The difference wasn't as great as some imagine.
Note too that its a social issue, in the past it was common in some areas for guns ow other weapons for hunting or sport (schools used to have gun clubs to be owned by young people and even to bring them into a classroom with permission,

I grew up at a time when people were not afraid of people with firearms,’ said (Supreme Court Justice Antonin) Scalia, noting that as a youth in New York City he was part of a rifle team at the military school he attended. ‘I used to travel on the subway from Queens to Manhattan with a rifle,’ he said. ‘Could you imagine doing that today in New York City?’” I have heard other reports of people carrying long guns openly in New York City in the 1950s, with no police being called, no schools locked down, no panic, no problems. Why was this so back then, but not now
Our society has decayed measurably from that point and there is no way to return to that healthy a society. Blame in on whatever you like, divorce and social change are my choices. There are others of course.
In truth we've become a society that suspends kids for eating a pastry and having it look like a gun. [Source](
The social comity and healthy families that would allow for a better society is gone .Beyond that even helping people is a challenge as society has become political and vindictive people rightly or wrongly peoples especially on the Right think psychology will be used to destroy political enemies not treat legitimate illnesses.

In truth we've become a society that suspends kids for eating a pastry and having it look like a gun. [Source](
The social comity and healthy families that would allow for a better society is gone .Beyond that even helping people is a challenge as society has become political and vindictive people rightly or wrongly peoples especially on the Right think psychology will be used to destroy political enemies not treat legitimate illnesses. | Glad no one was killed, good medicine and luck helped more than gun laws, We need a healthier society and I have no idea how to get it. |
shm0edawg | This will not likely be seen by many, but this happened to me when I was 5, and it was quick, and violent. I was outside playing by myself. My older sister was supposed to be watching me (spoiler alert: she wasn't). I bent down to pet said feral cat, and before I knew it I was mauled. I remember banging on the screen door yelling for my mom while feeling something dripping from my head. It was warm and was flowing. I then remember bright lights, doctors, and pain. They didn't want to suture the lacerations because of opportunity for infection. Instead, I had to wear this very tight, thin, gauze type cap for weeks to keep my scalp together. Scars are still visible on my shoulder and head to this day.
TLDR: Feral cats are no joke. I got mauled to shit. | This will not likely be seen by many, but this happened to me when I was 5, and it was quick, and violent. I was outside playing by myself.

evill_troll | They seem to have maximized the combination of most airplay with the least amount of popularity. Whenever someone is faced with a choice of which music to play to a broad audience--be it radio or TV or sports arena or whatever--Nickelback seems like a good choice because they have the right mix of elements. They're rock but not so heavy as to disturb people, but still edgy enough not to seem like a corporate contrivance. They're modern enough not to seem like a nostalgia thing while being old enough not to seem like the latest teenybopper group.
The result is that people tend to hear a lot of Nickelback despite very few people being really passionate about them. So, we think, "why the fuck do I keep hearing this stuff? These guys suck."
I may actually dislike certain modern country or southern rap or death metal much more than I dislike Nickelback, but it's easy to see that those other genres have dedicated fans and a real culture behind it. Nickelback is easy to hate because I don't associate them with real people.
EDIT: A lot of people object on the basis that Nickelback sells a lot of albums and fills up live venues. It tried to address that here. TL;DR: a lot of people buy Nickelback stuff, but those people don't tend to have much influence on people who talk a lot about music (critics, hipsters, genre-specific fans, etc).

Lecter07 | I felt Murder House was the best. It had so much lore and all the different people made the house feel like it was never quiet. Something was always going on. The scene I recall in particular is when Nora Montgomery is in Vivians room and she movs towards her stomach, longing for the child.
That just showed that even when the inhabitants of the house weren't there, they were still there. It added an atmosphere of being watched at every turn, like if you were looking into an empty room, that room was never really empty.
Asylum just didn't do it for me. It was all over the place, the plot had no pacing, and all of the most interesting characters died too early and their plots closed too soon. The ending of Asylum pissed me off. You brought back Grace so she could die at the hands of Alma in easily the most ridiculously unbelievable twists of all time. Even M. Night Shyamalan would have said "What the fuck are you doing?"
Aliens are so overused that I felt AHS wasn't ready for an alien plotline, as a result I found myself hoping the Aliens were really part of Kits psychosis. I wanted him to be innocent, but still crazy, unfortunately that didn't happen. Instead they copped out of killing Grace by bringing her back, and then killed in her again. Sloppy writing for the sake of Shock Value.

doryappleseed | This depends - are you making the kebab yourself, or just buying it in a store? If making it yourself, it can be really healthy!
Store bought can be trickier, but not impossible. Try asking them to shave some fresh meat off the top (as most of the fat and grease will run down as it heats/melts), and be careful which sauce you choose. The trick then is to only eat half the wrap, open it up and eat the remaining insides with a fork (to keep carbs to within healthy limits).
Most of this advice was on an episode of Biggest Loser Australia a couple of years back. Hope this helps!

MadSounds225 | I have yet to try Nether Battlebow, Arko Tri (Y) has given me some good results with Savage Jho, although I never tried against normal Jho.
If your armor allows, gem in Power Coating Add and another skill, but that's only for Nether Battlebow, Arko Tri has really low raw, so if you're going to use Arko Tri, get Element Attack Up, or even better, get Gigginox Z armor which has Stamina Thief (Great for Jho, the more he gets exhausted, the more meats he eats, which means more status), Thunder Attack +2 and Focus.
My guess would be to use Nether Battlebow against normal Jho and Arko Tri for Savage, since Savage suffers much more elemental damage than the normal one.

SingularityCentral | And the dirty little secret of law enforcement is that their firearms training is pretty mediocre. Most officers, unless they are on a specialized SWAT outfit or other paramilitary unit, only have a requirement of a few dozen hours of range time a year, amounting to less than an hour a week. Any soldier or professional marksman will tell you that pistol shooting is fucking hard and it takes a whole heck of a lot of time on the range to be proficient ON THE RANGE, let alone in a tense hostage situation. With the level of training these cops get anything beyond 7 yards is probably just going to be a crap shoot on what they hit with their service weapons. And all the while the civilian population thinks that you have to be an ace shot to be a cop because the police actively encourage this image. The same goes for their situational and tactical training, it is minimal and ridiculous. This case is a perfect example, the cops have shit training to handle a hostage situation and end up intentionally shooting a hostage, but since they also have shit firearms training they accidentally shoot another hostage in the process.

harmlessmeat | Pulled out an old trick and fixed the resistance issue. The fixed resistor I grabbed was actually a 200ohm resistor (face palm) so instead of waiting on a new one or scrounging one, I filed the resistor til it was at 218.5 ohms as per spec for the OKR. Pretty simple to do with a needle file. Just hook up your meter set to proper resistance range and file through the outer coating til you hit the resistance material (carbon film resistors only) and remove material til you hit your desired resistance. With this method you can only increase resistance so you have to start with lower value than your target.

KEZD | I feel like a quick clarification is in order: You may "love" the premium Mustang, but it's EXACTLY the same as the non-premium P-51D-5 and -30 in terms of armament and flight model. The only difference in War Thunder is the increased research points (and silver lions output?).
I am currently getting to grips with the P-51's strengths in RB. Its advantages are its speed in level flight (faster than most planes on or below its tier) and its diving speed (will in my experience at least slightly outrun anything other than a jet).
Its armament is still pretty weak. It takes a couple of attacks to get a fighter down, unless you manage to set them on fire or kill their pilot. 1.39 promises increased firing rate, which should improve its attack performance significantly. I wonder why it took THIS long to adjust its firing rate, since it would seem to be such a trivially simple amendment in terms of coding. An increase in firing rate diminishes the value of its high ammunition load, of course, but being able to put more ammunition into your enemy in the same (short) amount of time you have available for actually shooting at your opponent should more than make up for this; if you can aim, that is. I expect this change to increase the need for BnZ-type attacks in RB. In AB, it should make the Mustang a more viable aircraft, though it loses its most important advantages of energy retention and high-speed turn capability in that game mode.
I really hope that 1.39 will make the P-51 more durable, but I doubt this will happen, since it apparently wasn't a particularly sturdy plane in real life. But it is POSSIBLE, though unlikely, that Gaijin will finally admit that historical accuracy doesn't carry a lot of weight when it comes to gameplay balancing. I would prefer if they treated historical data as guidelines for making planes occupy the same roles they occupied in history, without the (stated) need to stick to the actual historical performance of the planes. What I mean by this, in plain English is this: I don't give a fuck what the plane did in real life, if historical accuracy gets in the way of enjoyable GAMEplay, then scratch accuracy and instead focus on maintaining the planes' historical role WITHIN the rules of this video game.
Enough rant for today. I think I'll post this as a standalone thread on r/WarThunder.
Thanks for your attention.
TL;DR: SCREW history, but LOVE the game. *wink* | I feel like a quick clarification is in order: You may "love" the premium Mustang, but it's EXACTLY the same as the non-premium P-51D-5 and -30 in terms of armament and flight model.

I am currently getting to grips with the P-51's strengths in RB. Its advantages are its speed in level flight (faster than most planes on or below its tier) and its diving speed (will in my experience at least slightly outrun anything other than a jet).
Its armament is still pretty weak. It takes a couple of attacks to get a fighter down, unless you manage to set them on fire or kill their pilot. 1.39 promises increased firing rate, which should improve its attack performance significantly. I wonder why it took THIS long to adjust its firing rate, since it would seem to be such a trivially simple amendment in terms of coding. An increase in firing rate diminishes the value of its high ammunition load, of course, but being able to put more ammunition into your enemy in the same (short) amount of time you have available for actually shooting at your opponent should more than make up for this; if you can aim, that is. I expect this change to increase the need for BnZ-type attacks in RB. In AB, it should make the Mustang a more viable aircraft, though it loses its most important advantages of energy retention and high-speed turn capability in that game mode.
I really hope that 1.39 will make the P-51 more durable, but I doubt this will happen, since it apparently wasn't a particularly sturdy plane in real life. But it is POSSIBLE, though unlikely, that Gaijin will finally admit that historical accuracy doesn't carry a lot of weight when it comes to gameplay balancing. I would prefer if they treated historical data as guidelines for making planes occupy the same roles they occupied in history, without the (stated) need to stick to the actual historical performance of the planes. What I mean by this, in plain English is this: I don't give a fuck what the plane did in real life, if historical accuracy gets in the way of enjoyable GAMEplay, then scratch accuracy and instead focus on maintaining the planes' historical role WITHIN the rules of this video game.
Enough rant for today. I think I'll post this as a standalone thread on r/WarThunder.
Thanks for your attention.

hippieofkindness | My maternal grandfather passed away in February. I grew up in NC while my mom, sisters, oldest brother, and my mom's side of the family live in Florida. My dad is a terrible person and when he went to jail me and my younger brother were placed with our paternal grandparents. That's why we live in NC instead of Florida. One of the bad things about having a father like mine is that people judge you because of it, even family. My father was extremely abusive to my mom and older siblings. When I finally got to see my family in Florida, for the first time since I was 6, I expected my grandpa to judge us. People here in NC look as us and only see our dad. My dad had tormented his youngest daughter and his her oldest children. Why wouldn't he judge us like everyone else? I was so wrong. My grandpa didn't care who our dad was. He never looked at us and saw our dad. We were his grandkids and that's all that mattered. Nothing was more important to him than his family and that included us. I will never forget the love and acceptance he showed. I hope to honor his memory by loving my family the way he loved them. The way he loved me.
tl;dr A grandparents love is a gift that can touch and change a heart forever. | My maternal grandfather passed away in February.

immatharealog | I created a pressure change in the air around me by striking a large cylindrical device with an organic polymer attached in both ends. These pressure changes formed longitudinal waves and approached my pinna, and then proceeded further down my ear canal. There it struck the ear drum, which sent forward the impulse through a series of bones and the cochlea, amplifying the impulse and sending it through the nervous system toward the brain.

redxapplexoxo | I don't even remember it but I'm sure it was terrible. Being the respectable ladylike 16 year old that I was, I went to a haunted house and got completely blackout drunk waiting in the line and ditched the rest of my friends with this guy that I didn't really know very well. He took me to this shopping center that had a little hill behind it and we sat there and was talking. That's when I actually blacked out and don't remember anything until maybe 1 am but that's a completely different story... I woke up the next day with this very passionate feeling in my chest, basically the feeling you get when you're drunk and fall in love I guess. So do I regret it?... I regret the whole night. The kiss didn't really effect my life much and I don't even remember it so I couldn't really care less whether it happened or not.

Bjorn_Untgrad | It takes years of study and complete submersion into a woman's world to even begin to remotely understand their subtle sexual gestures, so to say the words "men don't pick up on women's subtle hints" is an unterstatement. Men don't like subtle hints, men don't pick up subtle hints, and men are annoyed by women who never give more than just subtle hints. He may want you more than drug addict wants his next fix, but too nervous to do anything or say anything. Or he just doesn't know that he's attracted to you yet. Although your hint really wasnt that subtle, he apparently did't pick it up or is too shy to make the move.
I'm not going to tell you whether or not it's a good idea to try to bone your friend but I will tell you how to get him to agree to it if you so choose: If you want to do sex with him and he's not making a move, tell him in explicit detail what you want (try not to sound like a dominatrix though), or perform the fail-safe action (my personal favorite):
**Grab his dick.**

BTrain17 | I've been playing agro arena for months now. I draft one or two big creatures for top-decking scenarios then just anything I can throw down. The gamemode suits it too well. If you don't have an answer then who cares how much board value I gain out of my creatures. Hearthstone itself welcomes faceroll, hand-vomit strategies. Even in constructed a large majority of players are running zoo/face hunter, which offers inherit consistency due to its lack of any specific cards required for their victory conditions.
TL;DR
Hearthstone is the slightest bit of broken at the moment. Use a low curve with classes that reward aggressive play, tempo, or have strong early removal and you'll usually get more wins. | I've been playing agro arena for months now.

squirrelpotpie | I see what he's thinking, I just don't think it's possible to remove human judgement and still have a system that works.
Your friend thinks the officer was taking petty revenge. I don't think that's the case. The law about updating your license is not a "bullshit law" that needs to be removed. It's not a law that most people don't follow, and it's not something the officer generally won't enforce when it comes to their attention. I think that normally the officer never would have noticed that he was breaking that law, but he acted in the most suspicious possible way he could have acted, causing the officer to take a closer look at him. When the officer took a closer look, the officer found actual, legitimate breach of laws that actually matter.
So under his system he still would have been nailed, and under his system that law would still persist.
I think what's really going on is your friend is butthurt that his hostile handling of authority got him in trouble with said authority. It doesn't matter who he shows that attitude to, cops, boss, waitress, guy in a retail store, if you treat people like that you're gonna have a bad time in regards to your interaction with that person. I can't think of anything legal to do during a stop that would have looked more suspicious to an officer, and if you make yourself look suspicious to an officer, that officer is going to thoroughly check you out to find out what you're trying to hide.
**tl;dr**: Your friend does not have a valid point here. His judgement on the topic is primarily driven by his anger at being punished for something he actually did, and his personal desire to shift the blame to the officer, not by a sound objective analysis of how that scenario would play out. | I see what he's thinking, I just don't think it's possible to remove human judgement and still have a system that works.

I don't know about you guys but Outkast is the most hyped headliner this year within my group of friends so I think lolla's reception will be better than coachella's.

bamspoozle | I really don't like this, hit every person and try, some how, to imply that a currency union might happen.
Its illogical for either Scotland or the UK to have a joint currency. Scotland would want to be inflate the currency if the oil price goes down or deflate if it goes up. Stirling would probably want to go in the opposite direction.
Trying to attach a currency to economies based on different resources is why the Euro has caused so many issues.
But even the Euro had more justification behind it than this, as the German's benefited from cheap exports within the EU and the Mediterranean economies benefited from lower bond prices.
TLDR;
There is no reason for rUK or an indy scotland to share the same currency, until someone can provide a justification for why the rewards out weigh the risks for both sides, its not worth talking about. | I really don't like this, hit every person and try, some how, to imply that a currency union might happen.

RancidLemons | A table of, say, 20 sits down. If they all order a soft drink at $2.50 a person, that's an instant forty bucks on the check, or a $6 tip (assuming 15%.)
Now say ten order soft drinks and the other ten drink two beers at $5 a glass. That's a $125 dollar check for drinks alone, or a nice easy $20 tip.
Now let's look at a dream scenario... Ten order two beers each, the other ten share three bottles of expensive wine. You could easily be looking at $150 on the wine and $100 for the beer, or $250 (roughly $40 tip) before you've even taken appetizer orders!
tl;dr - any drink orders crank up the check and tip which, considering parties are often shared, is awesome. | A table of, say, 20 sits down. If they all order a soft drink at $2.50 a person, that's an instant forty bucks on the check, or a $6 tip (assuming 15%.)

Now let's look at a dream scenario... Ten order two beers each, the other ten share three bottles of expensive wine. You could easily be looking at $150 on the wine and $100 for the beer, or $250 (roughly $40 tip) before you've even taken appetizer orders!

sandagainzthewind | I gotcha bro. Not sure how it applies to Australian design, but if you let me know what type (architectural, product, interior) I might be able to help you out.
Modernity refers to history since after the end of the Medieval age (I think some will say Enlightenment) until now. Economic (feudal--> capitalistic), political (monarchical--> democratic), cultural (christian-->secular), technological (pre-industrial-->industrialized) changes mark the shift from medieval to modern.
Modernism usually refers to a cultural movement beginning from around the time of WWI and arguably extending until now. People use this term in literature and the arts (maybe design?) to refer broadly to changing trends that placed emphasis on the abstract and subjective as opposed to the representational and objective (which are marks of 19th century art and literature, for example realism and naturalism). In Philosophy, modernism marks a shift away from the rational, toward such models as Marx's and Freud's, which suggest that our reality is determined by forces that transcend human reason (of course there are a ton of philosophers in the 20th century who don't go in this direction, but still the trend is there).
Modernization refers to a process by which societies become modern - this is probably more closely linked with Modernity than Modernism, as it usually denotes technology and economic changes as opposed to cultural trends.
Again, without know which kind of design you do, I can't tell. But, assuming we're talking about architecture, I bet there are shifts in architectural design in Australia from 19th century colonial era to the twentieth century era of rapid technological change, Australian independence, and the emergence of global culture/economy. This shift is probably also reflected in other elements of design.

ZeroWit | Oh god, this might be ridiculously long, but I'll see.
way back in 10th grade, i met this girl. She was a grade below me, but not much younger. We'd hang out after school regularly for theater rehearsals. We talked and got to know each other, and i started to have a crush on her. Of course, 16 year old me was an awkward, clueless coward, so I never did anything. We were both on the track-field team, and had a similar group of friends. Eventually, she started dating one of my best friends, but that didn't last the rest of the school year. That summer we hung out more often. We were both in marching band (the best summer activity ever.)
Cue the next school year. Still just friends, but talking a lot. Typical awkward stuff. Finally, after much berating from my friends, I finally build up the courage to ask her out on a date. I planned to do it at the end of the week, and ask her out to do something over the weekend. The Tuesday before was one of my worst high school experiences.
That morning I'm hanging out with my friends before school starts. We're just chilling, when a girl from the grad above us comes in to talk to one of my friends. They talk, and this girl mentions that her younger brother just started dating some girl. A little further prodding, and it turns out to be the girl I was planning on asking out. My friends give me looks of pity and sadness. I just sat there for a bit, my young heart and soul crushed, the puppy love I had maintained withering away.
So my crush and this guy start dating, and about half way through the school year I do something incredibly stupid. I confess that I liked her (as in "like-liked" her) and we talk. Turns out she probably wouldn't have said yes even if I had asked. Talk about kicking a guy while he's down, that crushed me. Junior year of high school was actually hell.
So, make it through the summer, going into senior year, and I've finally managed to move on. She's still dating the same guy, and I have a different girl who I was planning on asking out. We get about halfway through the year, and I learn that my original crush and her boyfriend are having issues, partly related to how good of friend my crush and I are. He was getting jealous of me, apparently, and didn't trust her completely. I'd never done anything but be nice, so I just laughed it off. Then I once again do something terribly stupid.
One day after school, they had a bigger fight than usual. She finds me, and we sit and talk for about three hours straight. My feelings for her are brought up, and she admits that she likes me, and did the year before as well. Now, the timing of this was absolute shit, as just two weeks before I had started dating a different girl. So I was between a rock and a hard place, as was she. After another month of talking, and some more intimate things together, she officially broke up with her boyfriend. She reassured me that the relationship was going bad anyways, and that I wasn't to blame, but I still feel bad since I had a notable influence on the matter.
I have a choice now; dump one girl for the other, or stick with what I have. I'm an incredibly indecisive person, and this was a really sucky decision. Either I admit that I don't feel the same about my crush (which would be a lie), or dump my girlfriend and ruin an amazing friendship (also awful). Ultimately, I did the latter, and I consider it one of my bigger mistakes of high school. It wasn't a bad breakup, but it wasn't fun, either.
We didn't start dating until after graduation, and we date all summer. It starts out fine, but things turn sour really quick. The attraction between us just wasn't the same as it had been, and we grew apart. Less than a month into college I break up with her, which wasn't easy in the slightest. I simply didn't feel the same way about her, and I didn't want to lie to her about something like that.
Things are better now, and we still talk from time to time. She's moved on, as have I.

sony4life | 12 PS3 games a month? We've never had that many given on any month... it's always 1-2 (maybe 3 one time, don't remember).
You've got to understand that not all the games you got last month (March) were not necessarily given for that month. Some carry over for the month or next few months. **We only get 2 PS3 games MAX per month**.
This month's games replace some of last month's games BUT when they're replaced depends on where you are. EU is on the first TUE of the month, NA has a game update every TUE.

serrol_ | First off, as a guy: screw you. What you may seem as serious does not need to be that way. Just because YOU think it should be a certain way does not mean everyone should do exactly what you do. Don't be so self-centered as to think your way is the best way.
Also, who says the man has to propose? Just because it's been done for a long time that way means nothing; diamond rings are recent, and are in no way "traiditional," but I'd be willing to bet that you'd complain if there wasn't one involved, or if it wasn't 15 months of a guy's salary or whatever ridiculous amount it is these days.
TL;DR: stop acting like you are the ultimate authority on what should or should not happen, and stop being sexist.

conradical30 | This is going to be difficult. Its... a lot stronger than anything you may have experienced. In a nutshell, if you've ever smoked weed and can remember your first time getting *really* high, its about 10x that for about 10x as long.
In its purest sense though, its a mental game. You have to be mentally mature and in the right mindset. If you have anxieties or present fears or worries or stresses about daily things, then acid will only intensify those. But if you go into your trip with a clean slate on your mind (and I mean you *really* need to have NOTHING that you need to worry about getting done that day), with some good friends/company, and thinking "this is going to be an amazing experience for me", then it will be.
Its a roller coaster of emotions. You can go from feeling like the luckiest person ever and free from every constraint to feeling alone and then feeling like you just want to hug a couch all within 15 minutes or less. But if you know what you *want* to experience, then you are more likely to experiene it. Doing acid inside by yourself can be one of the most anxious experiences of your life. Your brain will want mental stimulation, and without it, you will dwell on things you shouldn't think about. And if you're tripping and your mind bores itself, it will create things to keep you less bored. This is when trips can go bad. Better idea is to either stay outside (somewhere safe and secluded from public if this is your first time) because outdoors has plenty to occupy a tripping mind -- the clouds, leaves, grass, wind, simply sunlight and the patterns its shadows create -- that will have your mind bouncing from one bright idea to the next.
The only time I will trip after dark is when I'm going to a (music) show that generally will include lots of lights (think music festival lineup) that continually stimulate your senses. Holy shit music is something completely else when tripping. You will recieve a whole new appreciation for music. Honestly, if there is anything I can say I have taken away from my trips more than anything else, it would be the profound love of different music genres and styles that I have come to enjoy.
From my experiences, when I get drunk, the same shit happens. I get sloppy and clumsy, get a headache, pee a lot, wake up feeling shitty, and don't remember much of the previous night. Each acid trip can be very different. I remember just about everything that went down (not full details, but I know what events took place - just don't overdo it). You definitely *can* take so much that you essentially black out and dont remember anything, but this is misuse of the drug. Take a responsible amount (1-2 doses) and see what comes of that. Try to open your mind for the better. Don't dwell on pessimistic things. Acid really can be a mindblowingly eyeopening experience if you allow it to be.
After this explanation, it should go without being said, but still ought to be - prepare yourself and know what you're getting into. Don't buy it from some sketch dude on the corner. LSD is a very reactable compound. Things as simple as salt from a sweaty dealer touching the doses with his hand can alter it slightly. There are also other synthetic experimental drugs that people may try to sell you: 2C-i, and 25I-NBOMe for example. Best bet if you don't know anyone who can't get clean LSD... wait til you find someone who does.
Tl;dr - Again, it is all a mental game. Don't do it when you have a lot of stress or worries. Keep your thoughts positive, and you'll love it.
Oops, forgot 2nd half... MDMA/ecstasy feels like tingly electrical volts running through your body. Any light touch to your arm feels like half-naked angels rubbing your dick with feathers. Mix the 'unknown' mindset of tripping on acid with this 'everything-feels-amazing' mdma and you're in for a wild ride!

Your brain will want mental stimulation, and without it, you will dwell on things you shouldn't think about. And if you're tripping and your mind bores itself, it will create things to keep you less bored. This is when trips can go bad. Better idea is to either stay outside (somewhere safe and secluded from public if this is your first time) because outdoors has plenty to occupy a tripping mind -- the clouds, leaves, grass, wind, simply sunlight and the patterns its shadows create -- that will have your mind bouncing from one bright idea to the next.
The only time I will trip after dark is when I'm going to a (music) show that generally will include lots of lights (think music festival lineup) that continually stimulate your senses. Holy shit music is something completely else when tripping. You will recieve a whole new appreciation for music. Honestly, if there is anything I can say I have taken away from my trips more than anything else, it would be the profound love of different music genres and styles that I have come to enjoy.
From my experiences, when I get drunk, the same shit happens. I get sloppy and clumsy, get a headache, pee a lot, wake up feeling shitty, and don't remember much of the previous night. Each acid trip can be very different. I remember just about everything that went down (not full details, but I know what events took place - just don't overdo it). You definitely can take so much that you essentially black out and dont remember anything, but this is misuse of the drug. Take a responsible amount (1-2 doses) and see what comes of that. Try to open your mind for the better. Don't dwell on pessimistic things. Acid really can be a mindblowingly eyeopening experience if you allow it to be.
After this explanation, it should go without being said, but still ought to be - prepare yourself and know what you're getting into. Don't buy it from some sketch dude on the corner. LSD is a very reactable compound. Things as simple as salt from a sweaty dealer touching the doses with his hand can alter it slightly. There are also other synthetic experimental drugs that people may try to sell you: 2C-i, and 25I-NBOMe for example. Best bet if you don't know anyone who can't get clean LSD... wait til you find someone who does. | Again, it is all a mental game. Don't do it when you have a lot of stress or worries. Keep your thoughts positive, and you'll love it.
Oops, forgot 2nd half... MDMA/ecstasy feels like tingly electrical volts running through your body. Any light touch to your arm feels like half-naked angels rubbing your dick with feathers. Mix the 'unknown' mindset of tripping on acid with this 'everything-feels-amazing' mdma and you're in for a wild ride!

Santacabrera | I want to share a story of frustration, confusion, disgust, stupidity and finally hope!
A little while ago I noticed the beginnings of a cal mag deficiency and upped my dose of cal mag accordingly. Instead of getting better, it got worse and worse, starting on 1 plant and soon showing on 7 more. So I upped the dose again to no effect.
Then I noticed some fungus gnats, and on closer inspection I found a load more. How did I miss em? No idea, but at least I had an answer (or so I thought) to the problem.
Then it occurred to me that there was way too much damage to have been caused by these gnats - an infestation that caused damage like I was finding would have had clouds of them flying all round my tent and although they were plentiful, they weren´t that bad.
So I did what I should have done from the start and started trouble shooting all parts of my set up. Now I have always had very hard tap water with a pH up to 10 (usually around 8-9 though) but I hadn´t checked what it was coming out of the tap at for a while - I would just pH my water after mixing my nutes, and as I use pH Perfect nutes, my pH was always bang on the money.
I checked my tap water and it is now coming out of the tap at a steady pH 7, so my thoughts are that my normal dose of cal mag used to be fine because of the high mineral content of my water, but as my water quality changed, the minerals were much reduced, and so the deficiency grew quickly, and was made worse by the fungus gnats.
I waged war on the gnats. It was quick, bloody and left many casualties. The girls got a much increased doses of cal mag, and the damage seemed to slow down.
I think its finally under control and the damage, while bad, isn´t catastrophic, I´ve certainly lost some yield, and they aren´t gonna win any beauty contests, but I am confident that they will limp over the finish line in a couple of weeks.
So my stupidity, coupled with a blase attitude almost cost me a tent full of buds. From now on I will be checking every aspect of my grow weekly and I have learned a big lesson!

xiefeilaga | Ouch. The process is pretty straightforward, and much easier than getting a new one, but it takes quite a bit of time.
To renew a work residence permit, you have to renew your labor permit or foreign expert's certificate, whichever your res permit is tied to, first. That takes about 5 business days.
I'd advise you to head straight to the PSB visa office and explain your situation. Hopefully they can give you some leeway while you get your labor permit extended. They almost certainly won't if you wait and show up with a res permit that expired 1-2 weeks ago.
For the regular process, I can't remember all the paperwork involved, as my assistant does it now. But you basically need to show the labor bureau or FEC folks that you're still working for wherever you've been working, and show them your passport. You'll probably have to give them a few photos for their gigantic laowai face collage.
Then you take the labor permit/FEC down to the PSB with more photos (some places require you get the photos on site), your local registration slip, and a few other things. This now takes 15 days, but they give you a piece of paper to use as ID in the interim.
Usually when the police are willing to overlook a short overstay, you'll need a letter in Chinese explaining the situation.

lumpy_potato | Assassination typically involves some degree of political or ideological foundation as far as the motive of the killing, and the target is usually a high-profile figure of some sort. This might be context-specific - we may not considered the death of a small-town mayor as an 'assassination,' but residents of that town might disagree.
Generally speaking, however, a killing is considered an assassination if the motive was based on some form of political, ideological, or financial gain, and the target is of a certain profile to make the killing more than just a personal grudge or problem.
e.g. a person kills Victim A over a disagreement over religion. if Victim A was just your average person, it would probably be considered a murder. But if Victim A was a political leader, it might be considered an assassination. New twist- the killer was Victim A's spouse. Now its not an assassination anymore, its just a murder. Suddenly a Shyamalamadingdong appears - the spouse was paid to do it and had intended to do it all along. Back to an assassination.
TL;DR If its a high-profile individual being killed for political, ideological, or financial gain, its probably an assassination. But context of the killer as well as what circles the person is considered 'high-profile' also matters | Assassination typically involves some degree of political or ideological foundation as far as the motive of the killing, and the target is usually a high-profile figure of some sort.

I was being chased by two zombies, and was bleeding heavily, so I ran up the stairs (zombies in SA can't go up stairs) and bandaged myself. I proceeded to turn around to loot the floor I was on, in the hope that the zombies would go away whilst I was doing so. As I turned around, a zombie glitched through the floor (this happens regularly, but never on an upstairs floor) and hit me, very nearly killing me.
Oh the joys of an alpha game.

Konami has clear structured support for tier 1 play. Tournaments are the main attraction in this game, tournaments are completely based on results, results are based on victories. Tournaments have a large population size to ensure that decks who are the most consistent and strongest will prevail. Therefore, Tier 1 decks who are more consistent and stronger than tier 3 decks are going to be played more than tier 3 decks. Konami has banlists to keep tier 1 decks in check.
You don't see "tier 3 only" or "whoever had the most fun" tournaments. Games are built around victory. A fun game is fun regardless of the format. Thus, tier 1 is the way the game is meant to be played.
Konami builds it this way because Tier 1 is constantly evolving depending on the new sets as better stuff comes out and the old stuff gets hit. Konami makes a lot of money off prioritizing Tier 1 decks over any other decks which is why they make it the way the game is meant to be played. If people can hold onto their tier 3 decks forever, Konami would just go out of business.
Sure, you can play the game with Tier 3. No one is stopping you, no one is going to say you shouldn't or can't. Hell, you can play traditional for all anyone cares. But the fact of the matter is, if you want to have fun while achieving something competitively, then you're going to be playing with and / or against a lot of Tier 1 because the game is built that way.
You can't blame anyone for it. The spirit of competition and economics naturally make it so. Blaming tier 1 decks for "a lack of diversity" is like saying "Chess is boring because everyone knows the main lines to every opening; therefore Chess lacks diversity. Why don't people just play random openings because that's the way the game is meant to be played."

doom_lord700 | Honestly, I find myself calling decks such as Geargia-Karakuri, Lightsworns, and a good number of high-tier standard/common decks "skill lacking" or "not unique", etc. I prefer trying to make a deck that won't win all the time, but is fun to play and keeps my opponent on their toes/struggling to keep up. These aren't necessarily "rogue" as you say, but mixed usually with an engine from a common deck (such as Cyber Dragons in a rank 5 deck, Fire Kings in a Hazy Flame deck, etc).
I don't personally feel it is because I fear losing to them usually, but generally because it's the same routine over and over, with the same win condition/play style, so it's not fresh, new or fun- it's just who draws into a card to kill their combo(s) first at that point in my eyes. I don't label decks I use as "rogue" nor do I think they are- all combos notably useful in a deck, regardless of its tier, has likely already been used/is being used.
Despite my dislike of the aforementioned tier 1 decks, **I do like and recognize the skill(s) needed for other tier 1 or high tier decks**. These include Hieratics/variants, Chaos/chaos dragons, and the likes. You have to know when to play them and how each step of the way realistically, and that is where the skill and mind-games come into play. These are the few times I enjoy a match where it isn't something "unique" (and I use that term *very, very loosely*), as I get to see if it is straight-up Hieratics, a Dragon Ruler mixed variant/Chaos sub-deck of some sort, or if they are running Beelze/Void Ogre in a Chaos deck, a Phantom of Chaos fueled Chaos Deck, etc. You can never be 100% certain seeing them at the start of the match (usually), and they can surprise you with their lengthy combo(s). *I like that a lot.*

These include Hieratics/variants, Chaos/chaos dragons, and the likes. You have to know when to play them and how each step of the way realistically, and that is where the skill and mind-games come into play. These are the few times I enjoy a match where it isn't something "unique" (and I use that term very, very loosely ), as I get to see if it is straight-up Hieratics, a Dragon Ruler mixed variant/Chaos sub-deck of some sort, or if they are running Beelze/Void Ogre in a Chaos deck, a Phantom of Chaos fueled Chaos Deck, etc. You can never be 100% certain seeing them at the start of the match (usually), and they can surprise you with their lengthy combo(s). I like that a lot. | I take high-tier decks at a 50:50; Generic overly used same-old-same-old bore me, mixed/lengthy or skillful entertain me. |
gooeyfishus | OP - while it's important to worry about your gear, it's even more important to worry about your financial situation. If you do not have **at LEAST** 3k in the bank with all your gear bought, I would consider deferring this hike.
Long-distance hiking can be expensive for the first-timer, as you're going to find some of the gear you have doesn't work, too heavy etc and need to be replaced. In addition you'll be taking days off, eating/drinking more than you would at home. Most first time hikers (and some hikers in general) spend a lot of their time partying in town - which can get expensive.
So if you're not financially prepared (not just for the hike, but coming back from it as well) I would push it another year. That's just me.

mike_rotch22 | No worries at all. Sadly, you hit closer to home than you intended. The Blues have been around since 1967, went to the Stanley Cup finals three times in a row their first thee years, and lost all three. They haven't been back since. The year they had the best record in all of hockey, they got knocked out first round. This year, they had one of the best records, if not the best, all season, and lost their last six before the playoffs. We Blues fans are a bit anxious now.
TL;DR - you were pretty much unintentionally spot on. | No worries at all. Sadly, you hit closer to home than you intended.

molecularity | My SO and I will meet for the first time in 7 days.
We did the whole "I love you" thing very early; we'd known each other for something like 2.5 weeks. I'd never met anyone online before, nor done a long distance relationship of any kind; he had once and wasn't particularly keen to repeat the experience, but there was a sort of palpable chemistry when we spoke that neither of us could ignore. From the start we could finish each other's sentences; that progressed to casually saying "I like you" a lot, until I told a friend something that he'd said that made me glow and she responded, "I love him for you." I replied, "I love him too, I really do. But shhhh, we haven't gotten to that stage yet."
I happened to be drunk at the time, and admitted to him I'd said it after he enquired what my friend's response was. After the initial shock of "WHAT IF YOU ONLY LOVE ME BECAUSE I'M BLURRY" (oh, the joys of webcams, Skype, and shit internet connections), he said: "I love you, too, and I've been biting my tongue since about the third time we spoke so it didn't slip out."
When you know, you know. Every relationship is different; there aren't any hard-and-fast rules for when, how, or how soon (or not) to say "I love you." It's a deeply personal thing, and something that I won't say unless I mean it completely. In this case, undeniable chemistry, alcohol, and my SO's pervasive curiosity meant we said it sooner rather than later -- not because the phrase is a trivial one (quite the opposite), but because I indescribably, undeniably knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that I *do* love him, even though we've never met. From the moment he first drunkenly told me that he was smitten, I knew, and his voice, smile, eloquence, humour, intelligence, and sexy, floppy hair (shush *it's so nice*) continue to leave me breathless and wondering how I possibly got this lucky.

qkrwogud | Here's my experience as someone that bought a lot of AC:
As soon as I started, I bought the highest tier everything, including weapons. I only realized yesterday that by using high tier weapons, you don't get any of the weapon proficiency. So I went back to tier one weapons to slowly increase my weapon proficiency and realized how horrid they are compared to the high tier weapons. I had to spend AC to get most of the weapon attachments so I wasn't gimping myself as badly..
TL;DR Buy weapons/attachments to level up your weapon proficiency, if you don't want to be at a huge disadvantage. | Here's my experience as someone that bought a lot of AC:

vagued | Depends on how you look at it. How often do individual cops have occasion to protect individual citizens? Probably not a lot, I'd imagine. But how often does the *existence* of cops, and the threat of being beaten and/or jailed by them, keep one citizen from harming another? Impossible to say, but sometimes, right?
And then you could ask the same kinds of questions about the other side: How often does one cop actually act to protect another, from accusations of corruption or brutality, or from an attack by a citizen? Probably a relatively small percentage of their careers is spent on those activities. But do they know every second that they would destroy a citizen without batting an eye if that was what it took to protect their fellow officer? I suspect so.

wyas | There's a very thin line.
The confusion here I think arises from thinking that mind uploading in the future will be something similar to how we upload information nowadays: just plug them into a USB, and transfer to a new device. It's possible, but highly doubtful it will play out like that in the future. I like this topic so much that I don't mind diving briefly into the realm of science fiction and fantasize and romanticize about this stuff ;) . Anyway, here's a few possible scenarios.
1. **Bioengineering** - In the future, bioengineering will allow us to genetically modify our brain cells to sustain increasingly longer lifespans. In this scenario, humans will move their brain onto new, non-organic bodies, but their brains will fundamentally remain organic (albeit super-engineering to be better, faster, stronger). Humans here will retain their single-threaded stream of consciousness. *This scenario though is fairly boring, because we are still very mortal*.
2. **Nanotechnology** - In the future, nanotechnology becomes the key tech in this debacle. Humans and fellow humanoids across the world will have the option allow tiny nano-robots to enter their brain and transform that gooey and fragile brain matter into a strong, non-organic neural network. This is the best possible scenario because it allows humans to maintain a completely single-threaded stream of consciousness whilst becoming essentially immortal along the way.
3. **Uploading to a new machine** - In the future, very advanced scanners will be able to map your entire neural topology down to sub-neural detail. This will allow the machine to take essentially a photograph of your entire consciousness, and then move it into an external machine. This scenario breaks the single-threaded stream of consciousness paradigm. You, as a human, will cease to exit, and another vessel that is you will keep on going. This is the equivalent to OP's twin analogy.
**tl;dr + SUMMARY**: Regardless of the method, mind uploading *remains* logically sound. There are no problems whatsoever arising from it beyond the brief existential crises that people will encounter. Assuming the 3rd method becomes a reality, a person will encounter something along the following lines: he/she will lose consciousness in preparation of the transfer to the machine, and will regain consciousness in a new body. It will be the equivalent of someone going into a coma briefly, and waking up with no memory of the intermediate transfer process. | There's a very thin line.

The_me_in_Team | Telling my familiy I didn't share their faith anymore. My whole familiy are Jehovah's Witnesses. While this might not seem like a big deal to most people, to JW's religion and devotion the the organization is everything. You have to go to meetings weekly, you have to preach, study etc. You are told to limit contact with non-members. Parents are expected to raise their children as JW's.

If someone officially leaves then they are shunned, not even family contact is allowed. People are encouraged to shut out relatives and "be loyal to Jehovah.", or else they risked being shunned themselves. On top of that they think God is going to kill me at Armageddon. The stuff they read gets very detailed about how all non-JW's will be killed. It involves billions of dead bodies to be eaten by birds because these people will not deserve burials.
