First thing you need to do, Mister Stelar Soldier, is do a stellar job of keeping your goddamn mouth shut and retaining an attorney. When they try to ask you about the situation, tell them you do not waive your right to remain silent, and tell your story to an attorney, who will advise you.
Also, if your defense is that third-parties saw you together, there's gonna be a reasonable doubt you didn't know she was married, particularly if she even knows just one of your witnesses.
TL;DR: Shut up, you've got a 50/50 chance of getting BBQ'd, and quit fucking your buddy's wife. Also, you're pretty much fucked. | Although I don't know whether addition or multiplication is appropriate.

sp3nt | I know for me anyways, it's always helped me get into MY zone. Whatever the task, reading, driving, playing disc golf, playing beer pong, playing COD and the list goes on. I've used mainly adderal but also a few other ADHD meds on and off for recreation, study, and work related reasons.
The main thing I've found when doing active things such as sports, is watching your heart rate, body heat, and make sure you are hydrated. My work is extremely physical 12 hour shifts outside in all weather imaginable (aka no days off). I've had two occasions lasting 2-3 days, where my body has overheated and wanted to die. I couldn't keep any water down. My heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I'm not sure exactly what I experienced those couple of times but I can say that no one would want or should have to go through it. But that's what happens when you aren't careful with drugs.

Amiron | GW2 is the only MMO I've ever seen to get PvP "right". By that, I mean that you have (most) access to every single build in the entire game when it comes to competitive, structured PvP battles. From the get go after the initial tutorial, you can go into the Heart of the Mists lobby and customize your low level character with;
**Weapon Sigils**
**Traits**
**Runes**
**Weapons**
**Stat Presets**
The idea is that every player begins a match on completely equal footing; the determining factor to winning a match is 80% skill, 20% build choice. (Each build has pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses.)

EnlghtndBirdMan | Ok, so decided to comment because you really should learn the basics of gun ownership first prior to firing away at the range. Basic gun safety is incredibly simple and absolutely crucial so that you can enjoy these great sports while keeping yourself/others safe. I've owned firearms all of my life, and target/trap shooting has created some of the my best memories with my family and friends. There's nothing quite like heading out to the range with your father, talking for hours, and blowing up coke cans. I go target or trap shooting once or twice a week, and I wouldn't give up the hobby for anything.
So - on to safety. Look for a NRA Basics rifle course. Regardless of your opinion of the NRA, their basic rifle course (or pistol course if that's what you're going for) covers the basics and is sufficient to teach you enough to be safe. Check out WhiteTail Preserve ( or Dynamic Force Institute ( or ask at your local gun shop where they know of a NRA-certified instructor. These guys will help you (1) learn the basics and (2) pick out a first rifle for your needs. I've actually sat in on a course from Dynamic Force, and the guy's fantastic. He's a bit heavy on the home defense (and anti gun grabber) stuff, but you'll walk away with a comprehensive knowledge of gun safety.
I recommend that you take the course first, since that will likely alleviate any nervousness about firearm ownership. As long as you handle the rifle safely and ensure that it's kept somewhere safe (just buy a locked case), you're in for a lifetime of good times.
Next off, I'm less familiar with WB gun shops, but you can't do any better than Bob's Sporting Goods in Hazleton or Dave's Gun Shop in Drums. The gentlemen that work in those shops will help you/spend as long as you need to walk through every option. I've spoken to them for hours about various purchases. Just great family owned businesses. When certain ammo types get hard to find, Bob's usually can find some.
Now for some recommendations of firearm:
For your first gun, I recommend a Ruger 10/22 or a Marlin XT bolt action .22. I own both/have owned the 10/22 for a long time (It was a present from my mother!). It still accompanies me to the range every week. The rifle's incredibly fun to shoot, the ammo's inexpensive (though hard to find recently - just order some online), and it's easy to clean (once you get the hang of it). If you treat a 10/22 right, it'll last for several lifetimes. They're also relatively inexpensive firearms for what you get. The Marlin's a good rifle too, but it's hard to compete with the 10/22 as a first rifle. I also recommend that you don't slap a scope on right away. Learn how to use iron sights, then go ahead and use your fancy red dot or whatever. You should learn iron sights, since it's a bit of a classic skill that is often skipped by new shooters as they try to increase accuracy without getting experience first. Also, don't go off and buy an AR or some tacticool thing as your first rifle. Learn first, then expand your collection.
Notice that I've been saying "rifle" a lot more than I say "pistol". That's because my personal philosophy is that a long rifle is a better beginner firearm than a pistol. I may be wrong, but that's how I've always operated. Long guns are great for learning the basics/how to use iron sights.
Cheers! I hope that this helps you get into a sport that I've enjoyed my whole life.
TL;DR - Take a NRA Basic Rifle Course (or pistol), visit Dave or Bob, blow up some coke cans. Check out Whitetail preserve as a public range or the state gamelands public ranges.

Rustlingjimmies87 | Dude, I seriously keep a little bit of important stuff when I break up with a guy just because it's good collateral when he has stuff of yours that he's stubborn about giving back.
For example: my ex decided he was going to 'break-up steal' my brothers PlayStation portable, but then reconsidered when I told him that I had his one last picture of his dad and his drivers license. I'm a crazy bitch, but I'm a crazy bitch who got her stuff back.
Tl;dr: don't date crazy dudes who have secret drug habits. | Dude, I seriously keep a little bit of important stuff when I break up with a guy just because it's good collateral when he has stuff of yours that he's stubborn about giving back.

MissEscapeArtist | We have similar stats. When I started strength training I felt the same way: I could see fat on my arms, thighs and love handles even though I was significantly under weight.
What I did, and what I suggest you try, is a lean bulk. Initially, I just ate everything I could get my hands on and did some light lifting. Over the past couple of months, I've switched up my program to include heavy lifts and leaned up my diet. I immediately noticed a change in my body composition. I have decreased my BF% while gaining weight and size and, best of all, I'm no longer seeing myself as skinny-fat.

In order to activate them (and only in single player), you needed to have two controllers plugged in.
With one controller plugged in you had 4 controller options, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4
With a second controller plugged in, you get four additional options, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4
I always used 1.2, so I transitioned into 2.2.
In perfect dark, it was almost essential to being effective in perfect agent, as it not only allowed you to carefully sneak around corners, but it also allowed you to activate targeting mode, and strafe, as opposed to just taking a single sidestep, which was great for CMP150s in secondary mode, with target lock on.
Another essential for Perfect Agent was turning off auto-aim. In perfect agent, each enemy wore much stronger body armor than in the other modes and took 4 or 5 shots to kill, meaning ammo could get really scarce. With auto aim off...if you were quick and precise, you could shoot them once in the chest, and then shoot them in the head while they were in their stun animation.
Recently, I was talking to a friend of mine who was my room-mate when PD first came out. We used to play constantly, in Dolby Surround (I remember trading my RF cables for with this guy for his composite cables). I still have the original Prima Strategy guide with all the post-it notes we used for indexing each section. We generally used it because it had all the weapon spawn points laid out for us in the multiplayer maps, and we'd spend all day setting up matches with different sims.
One of our favorites was me vs him, with 3 sims on each side...two normal sims and a Dark Peace Sim in the Temple.
Anyway, him and I were chatting and he told me that he found both of our original profiles on the original cartridge. I can't wait to see if we're anywhere near as good as we were. I don't play FPS very much but Perfect Dark is one of my favorite games of all time.
TLDR (and has not much to do with anything I said up there):

yodilly | This morning was my first Yom Hashoa in Israel. I sat in bed with my girlfriend, listened to the dull whine of the siren and took time to remember what happened to my people. To recall why I live in israel. To be able to love and be loved in the only Jewish nation in the world. To appreciate this country we have, and the opportunities presented to us young people to do something amazing with what we have fought so hard for. In conclusion, this day of rememberence for an attrocity that defines our people has made me motivated and optimistic about the future, and will do the same to others when they experience it as well.

To appreciate this country we have, and the opportunities presented to us young people to do something amazing with what we have fought so hard for. In conclusion, this day of rememberence for an attrocity that defines our people has made me motivated and optimistic about the future, and will do the same to others when they experience it as well. | Fuck this guy. He should be ashamed of himself. |
IAmDanMarshall | There was a tent set up in Pioneer Square today where they were reading off the names of holocaust victims. Some disheveled guy started shouting from the sidewalk about "muh freedoms" and something about the wifi being out.

pogoo2 | You also have accused of people going "LALALA NOT LISTENING" I fail to see a difference in your "respond to nonsense with nonsense" method.
You simply apply a filter despite clearly lacking knowledge on the subject, and then project your own lack of comprehension as the speaker talking nonsense. A very stereotypical small town attitude.
Having displayed a lack of basic humanity by responding to a question asking if you felt a child should work 14 hours daily with "I believe children should have responsibilities." You still speak as a human rights authority.
I think one can safely assume that you would find it acceptable that despite women in the USA being given the right to vote in 1920, it took until 1938 for america to restrict child labor in factories and other industrial settings.
As you pointed out in another post about working on your neighbours farm, this failed to include agriculture, and so 500,000 children work, to various degrees, obviously. This is the result of a loop hole being exploited and being told through generations it builds character.
I am not against children lending a hand on the farm within reason, I am not against the fair treatment of women.
I am against people who condescend from a point of ignorance, as though that were the same thing as authority and expect to be lauded as cool and unflappable when they withdraw into a shell of pre-rehearsed one-liners and insults. Thinking that, by frustrating any attempt at discourse, you have actually won the argument. You think your gender matters at all? I used the pronoun she, because this is a subreddit for women despite its many male visitors. Please do not make this about your gender as if by revealing your trump card I will be stunned.
I genuinely despise the type of willful ignorance you display as the issue with modern society, all the frustrating environmental issues the "debate" on the reality of global warming, all the backwards religious bodies bloated with followers who will defend their dogma to the death at the drop of a hat, all of that to me stems from the same backwards mentality that change is inherently bad.
Nobody is disputing the existence of gender/racial/age inequalities and the need to address them, what people are disputing is the notion that 'The Patriarchy', the zeitgeist lurking manipulator, as it has been depicted by yourself and others is the sole cause of the situation and every unfavourable situation, and always has been.
I am not for propping up figureheads to toss stones at and I am not for blaming whole bodies for the acts of individuals. I am not for willfully ignoring facts as they are presented and then calling them nonsense. And even though I cannot condone willful ignorance I should not demonize you for it.
The Bard once said something about there being lots of stuff in the heavens and on the earth and its true, theres so much to see and learn and hear and feel and so many people to meet. It almost seems impossible to even make a ripple in the pond as it where.
It can be scary to open yourself up to that unimaginable vastness and not fear losing something, you are never certain quite what, you perceive as core to yourself. But thats the beauty, The constant change the mutable nature of life and thought lets what you are stay the same but slowly grow. And having grown see the world in a way your old self would have thought uncanny.
I am for the equal treatment of all human beings, and I am for the entire world becoming safe for anyone. I am for myself and for every other organism on this orb because frankly without them I would not exist, and to deny them the same joy in their lives would be wrong.
Thanks for helping me learn to not resent you.

enginrit | California's average daily water use is approx 38 billion gals per day (USGS 2010 survey) or 5.08 billion cubic feet/day. For simplicity sake let's say we have a brand new system that consists of 100 new 10ft diameter pipes (78.5 sf per, 7854 sf total) that would mean water would have to flow through the pipes at 7.486 ft/sec to supply enough water. Bernoulli's equation (h=v^2/2g) shows we need a head differential of 0.87 ft to get the required velocity. Using pump power equation we find power per pump is 43.39 kW (per engineering toolbox but as 100 cfs scaled to our number) which then becomes 1041.4 kWh @ $0.11 per kWh = $114.55 per pump, $11,455.40 total in a frictionless and level system. Let's add in a 70% efficiency between the pump and motor to get a grand total of: $16,364.86
If we add friction and hills it will be approximately 114.9% (1/0.87 as pump equation is linear for head differential) increase per foot of head the pump has to overcome. Keep in mind we assume no losses in elbows, exits, entrances, or other minor losses in this system as well. For shits and giggles let's say we have 1000 feet of elevation head to cover. That is an extra $18,805,198. Say a friction factor of 0.003 (conservative) we get an extra 0.002611 ft of head loss per foot of length or an extra $49.09 per foot for the system to run. If we wanted it to run for say only 500,000 feet that's an extra $24,547,286.
That's a grand total of $43,368,849 just to pump one days worth of water into California let alone distribute it!
Let's say we get a deal on the water itself and its only $0.01 for 100 gals of potable water because Nevada wants their SN Pale Ale and feels kind of bad for us, that is an extra $3,800,000. Bringing out grand total of having a short pipeline to bring water in with not much elevation change and a cheap deal on water to..... $47,168,849.
Full disclosure used some back of the envelope fufa math...use full Bernoulli's equation with reynolds numbers for friction for more accurate answer and a not total BS number for water.
Tl;Dr: its expensive as fuuuuuuck

sumiriously | Fell in love with Subaru long before I could drive in real life. I just loved their ad campaigns and the niche market they appealed to. I loved that they just knew who and what they are about and that's all they would ever be. In Gran Turismo I always drove a tricked out WRX and then when the internet was available I just researched the shit out of Subaru building custom cars on their site etc. I was obsessed and my friends and family never understood why (now they sure as hell do). Fast forward 10 years (~2011) and one of my family's cars was totaled (I was driving it, a guy hit me at a red light while on the phone). I convinced my parents to finally get a brand new black 2011 Outback with the settlement money. They absolutely love it and will never go back to any other car brand. Just this past February after finally landing my first legit big boy job and saving for 6 months I was able to buy a brand new Impreza Sport Limited. I am absolutely in love. At this stage in my life there is literally no other car (even within the Subaru line) that fits me or my lifestyle better. I seriously considered it a major life accomplishment when I was able to bring home my own brand new Subaru. I will never ever consider another car brand.
TL;DR - Was in love with Subarus since I was ~13 years old. Finally bought my own brand new one at 29. | Fell in love with Subaru long before I could drive in real life.

Siriuscili | Your argument is false. Macedonia was NOT called Vardarska. Kingdom of Yugoslavia was divided on regions (called banovine), but those regions were not historical, they promoted Yugoslav unity and thus they were named after rivers. Vardarska Banovina = Banovina of [Vardar]( I hope you don't think that Slovenia should be named Dravska.
Now, you'll probably say that why is there Croatia (Hrvatska) on the map. And here is why:
Between 29 and 39 Banovine looked like this:
Then in 1939. Maček (Croatian politician) got a deal to unite Littoral(Primorska) Banovina with Sava(Savska) Banovina and to creatska Banovina Hrvatska. That is why on your map you can see Croatia.

kavien | A lady did this while trying to cross through my late Grandfather's funeral procession. Even though we had a continual stream of cars with headlights on during the day and a police car had stopped cross-street traffic just moments before, she briskly tried crossing after my brother's car and in front of my uncle's who was in front of me. She and her daughter stepped out right in time to get nailed by the police cruiser that was passing in the right hand lane to get to the next light. The daughter, who was around 8 years old, flew up and over the police car like a little rag doll and mother was thrown to the side. Of course, the entire procession came to a halt, my family & I rushed to provide aid, and direct traffic. The cop was completely distraught, the woman was beside herself in hysteria, and the funeral was put off as several pall bearers were now filling out witness statements. The kid and mom were EMS'd to the hospital. Not sure what ever happened to them. No one died on scene, though.

iambuildthings | Sorta true. When I was in high school I bought my acoustic online, it was a killer deal. I was lucky and loved it, still have it many years later. I figured if I didn't like it I could re sell it for more than I paid for it though. I would only do it if I could at the minimum break even on the deal if I didn't like it and wanted to sell though.

flanibus | Maybe not exactly an answer to your question but something worth considering: The tough thing, in my mind, about that sale is finding reasonable comparisons to set your price. I'd guess that's more than double the miles of the average 2010. I'd also say, intuitively (and downvote me to hell if you must), a GTI should take a heavier depreciation hit for high mileage than the average car. tl;dr : at 130K make damn sure you're getting a good deal. | Maybe not exactly an answer to your question but something worth considering: The tough thing, in my mind, about that sale is finding reasonable comparisons to set your price.

gerberry | anton raid filters by gear not class, you could take a scrub mbrawler to anton if you had a +18 =/
the thing is you are unlikely to ever reach the amount of gear needed to grind anton if you dont truly enjoy your class because grinding chronicles/epics all takes time and cant be skipped by grinding on another char or buying cera, maybe you arent playing a sader but the difference between class is easily overcome by gear
and anton raid itself is a srs commitment you dont just run it once and expect to get an anton weapon, you build a 5story mansion and you camp there until you grow old to get an anton weapon
theses weapons arent mean to unlock your class' true potential, i doubt we would even be able to count the number of players with anton weapons on onehand, you unlock a class' true potential by gearing with epics/chronicles to challenge anton, anton itself is the end game content that you are baited into farming, after anton there is nothing so anton must be broken asf to keep people, when we get lvl90/100 cap with cain/hilder bosses people will be strolling through anton with 3rd awakenings like its nothing while only those with +14 anton weapons can go to cain raids

Gaijin_Monster | * I've known enough French people (from different parts of France) to know the rude stereotype is inaccurate. In my own experience they're nicer & more welcoming than Germans, Swiss, Austrians, or Eastern Europeans. It's very easy... just don't be arrogant, rude, or abnoxious. In my view, French = Awesome.
* Food: French have earned the privelege of being snobby about their cuisine. It's freakin amazing.
* Even though Paris is amazing, forming your opinion of France based of one city is equally as ignorant as forming your view of America from just New York city... or Japan from Tokyo. France is huge and diverse with each region offering alot of unique stuff to see, do and, eat.
TLDR: If you're "one of those people" who tells other you think "Parisians" are rude, then you need to actually go see France, not just stay bottled up in one city where practically everyone you see walking down the street is an obnixous tourist. |

UrgeToSeeHerTits | Back when I first owned my civic I decided to buy an aftermarket intake and filter from Spoon Racing. It looked like an OEM intake but sounded much better.
As I continued into a new job I decided I wouldn't have time for service for my car so I sent it to get a full service as I drove a rental car. I went back the next day and they said I was lucky I came right then and there since my filter was black. They said they had the same type and they could put it in for, 85$.
I looked at the black filter and saw it was different as they went to go change it and they came back and said it was done. I then asked why they would charge me the same price for the filter and no labor. They looked pale as I explained I put a different intake with a smaller filter and it didn't make sense that they were able to change a Japanese filter and my Japanese filter was now white as a base.
They immediately apologized and said the original mechanic who wasn't there probably mixed up the cars issues and that I don't have to pay anything extra. Also adding they didn't say they changed it yet so they couldn't see the problem themselves.
TL;DR
they tried to pass a dirty filter for my car since it looked stock.

StuartPBentley | To the people asking "what's the difference between uBlock Origin and the original?", the extension in the Chrome store called "uBlock" is technically the *continuation* of the original uBlock, handled by a new developer (chrismatic), originally with the original creator (gorhill)'s blessing.
However, after chrismatic was given ownership of uBlock, he added a "donate" button to the extension, which apparently pissed gorhill off, so gorhill *re-added his old version* to the Google Chrome Store under the name "uBlock Origin" (or "uBlock0" at first). If you originally installed uBlock, you'd see the name change next time you restarted Chrome and installed extension updates.
That said, the initial reason gorhill said he was handing control of uBlock over to the new developer was *because he didn't want to maintain uBlock any more*, so it doesn't really make any sense for him to go do this (other than being snitty about "no ads whatsoever").
**TL;DR: Drama.** Most likely you'll want to **use "uBlock" and not "uBlock Origin"** if you want something that's going to be maintained.

BonerJams1703 | You are criticizing someone for posting a suggestion that helps them organize their base simply because you personally don't find it helpful and then you tell them that instead of doing that they should "play the game."
I'm not sure if you know this but COC is a strategy game where arranging and organizing your base layout is a critical aspect of the game (defense). Rearranging your base is playing the game.

Fenixius | I'm glad you mentioned World of Tanks, because the game itself promotes 'selfish' play.
WoT is a very grindy game - you need to play for hours to go from one tank to the next.* So a player's #1 objective is generally to get as much XP from a match as they can. The game awards XP based on personal performance, so usually, a player is best served by landing as many penetrating hits and destroying as many enemy tanks as they can. There is also a team victory XP award for everyone, but usually it's less XP than 2-3 more kills are worth. Especially with the extra XP from killstreak or other excellence medals. So what I've seen happen plenty of times is that a successful player will ignore the capture point and attempt to hunt down the last Light Tanks or SPG (artillery) Tanks instead of benefitting the whole team.
Now it may be that other games don't push rogue, independent action as hard as World of Tanks does. I know Splinter Cell Conviction didn't. But grind games provide players with alternative objectives than, in the words of Heavy Weapons Guy, being "credit to team." And as grind games keep players on them longer, make more money through DLC and cutting out the grind with microtransactions, teamwork is either deemphasised or outright discouraged by the design of the game. And as players go through more and more of these games, the gamer culture moves away from communicative teamwork, making it less likely for players in any given game to go back to the style of what OP might call the halcyon days of online gaming.
tl;dr - **Grind games can inherently reward personal excellence over teamwork which directly promotes selfish lone-wolf playstyles.'
* - Matches are segmented by tier so its not often that the longest playing player will dominate because of his upgrades, but that's beside the point I want to make. | I'm glad you mentioned World of Tanks, because the game itself promotes 'selfish' play.

I'm healing in WoD and our other healer says he's just here to roll on the body piece, and I say I'm rolling on it as well.
Fast forwards to Cerberus, I've been healing like normal (cure I into cure II, AoEing when necessary, etc etc.) when all of the sudden my friend who I'm skyping with says there was a vote to kick me for botting.
So I get kicked, apparently for doing nothing but spamming Cure II which was a load of bull, and the guy defending the ban was the other healer who wanted the same piece as me.
Now the best part here is that my friend recorded the names of all the people in our party, and I looked them up and 4/8 of them were in the same FC, and surprise surprise you only need 4 votes to confirm kick someone.
tl;dr some scumbag FC kicked me for allegedly botting in WoD because their healer didn't want to compete for rolls. | Check this out:

Dev_Nights | I understand wanting to get gear for an off-class. Heck, I'm leveling WHM whilst I main BRD. If I see WHM gear drop I will greed it.
If someone else wants it as well, well too bad. That's the concept of greeding something. If you want to avoid this, play entirely with your FC/friends so you limit the chances of someone else greeding it.
Who is to say the NIN didn't have a level 49 BLM and wanted it to be geared as they get to 50?
Admittedly, it is more annoying when WoD/FCoB had weekly lockouts, but now there is no reason to care. Then again, people would only take what they needed with the lockouts.
You can politely ask for the loot, but there is no reason that people should have to agree.

ikarikh | Stop. Just stop. Opinion =/= Fact. There is nothing "morally wrong" with needing on any item regardless of intent for said item.
If I'm i120 and run an old dungeon and see an i60 drop for my class I'm playing and think it looks cool to glamour, I'm entitled to take it for a glamour. I ran the dungeon too. I am not running the dungeon to gear your classes. I'm there for me.
If you wanna call me greedy for taking something you feel you deserve more, you need to look in the mirror at the definition of greedy. If you want a SCH piece while playing a BLM, you have no grounds to bitch me out for needing on a SCH piece. If you wanted it so bad, play a SCH and roll need yourself. You'll have just as much a chance as me to get the piece. If you don't get it, that's not my fault or my problem.
There are SO many ways to upgrade your chars gear in the game that complaining about someone "stealing" a need from you is extremely petty and silly.
Go farm Soldiery Tomes and buy some i100 gear if you can't get the piece you want from ST.
You can do the same damn thing for virtually any end game gear. And prior to that, you can always buy vendor or MB gear or have a FC mate craft you pre-50 gear.
Crying over not getting your way because you personally feel entitled to something is the true greedy and toxic attitude in the community.
I ran ST over 20 times never getting a Sands of Time. Every time i'd see people roll on Sands while saying they had tons already they had no use for.
I didn't bitch and whine about it though. I rolled, i replayed, eventually i got one.
I didn't tell anyone they were obligated to pass on it for me or complain they were assholes for daring to roll on something they didn't need. They spent just as much time in the raid as me. If they rolled on it, that's their right. Even if their goal was simply to get a stack of 99 Sands sitting in their inventory. That's their right.
TL;DR: Stop Crying. The only greedy person here is you. And no amount of your tantrums is gonna change that fact :P | Stop. Just stop. Opinion =/= Fact. There is nothing "morally wrong" with needing on any item regardless of intent for said item.

I didn't tell anyone they were obligated to pass on it for me or complain they were assholes for daring to roll on something they didn't need. They spent just as much time in the raid as me. If they rolled on it, that's their right. Even if their goal was simply to get a stack of 99 Sands sitting in their inventory. That's their right.
TL;DR: Stop Crying. The only greedy person here is you. And no amount of your tantrums is gonna change that fact :P
| ffxiv | t5_2rgs7 | cqi4uu4 | Stop. Just stop. Opinion =/= Fact. There is nothing "morally wrong" with needing on any item regardless of intent for said item.
If I'm i120 and run an old dungeon and see an i60 drop for my class I'm playing and think it looks cool to glamour, I'm entitled to take it for a glamour. I ran the dungeon too. I am not running the dungeon to gear your classes. I'm there for me.
If you wanna call me greedy for taking something you feel you deserve more, you need to look in the mirror at the definition of greedy. If you want a SCH piece while playing a BLM, you have no grounds to bitch me out for needing on a SCH piece. If you wanted it so bad, play a SCH and roll need yourself. You'll have just as much a chance as me to get the piece. If you don't get it, that's not my fault or my problem.
There are SO many ways to upgrade your chars gear in the game that complaining about someone "stealing" a need from you is extremely petty and silly.
Go farm Soldiery Tomes and buy some i100 gear if you can't get the piece you want from ST.
You can do the same damn thing for virtually any end game gear. And prior to that, you can always buy vendor or MB gear or have a FC mate craft you pre-50 gear.
Crying over not getting your way because you personally feel entitled to something is the true greedy and toxic attitude in the community.

RalphtheWonder_Llama | Sorry if this hasn't been repeated a million times before but... the Oilers won the lottery and if they're not stupid will draft McDavid. If he really doesn't want to play for them he will let it be known and MAYBE a team will trade for him. If not, which is probable, he will be on oilers for at least a 3-4 year deal. If they still suck or just can't become a contender in that time... who's to stop him from signing somewhere else? It's not like he's stuck on the oilers for the rest of his career. I wish him nothing but the best but it seems like everyone thinks he'll be an under performing oiler for life. Look at LeBron or any number of good athletes that can't get it done on their first team.
Tl; DR just because he'll get drafted by the Oilers doesn't mean he'll be an oiler for life and under perform | Sorry if this hasn't been repeated a million times before but... the Oilers won the lottery and if they're not stupid will draft McDavid.

zamarie | Student aid coordinator here. Emancipation wouldn't matter at this point since OP is an adult - it has to be done before they turn 18
With that being said, we have leeway to use "professional judgment" in unusual situations when it comes to dependency. This would 110% qualify, in my mind. If OP provided me a copy of the police report and a written summary of their situation, I'd push that dependency override straight through.

meanwhile watery temptress was real nice to me and I got 5 chasers from 6 runs and enough hamahimes to finish max skilling my main hamahime (imb4 no hanzbro forever). Now I can take my time and evo all these chasers and hope i don't go 0/5 lol.

cerberus6320 | True, coming from the other side there sometimes, I'm good at a couple things, so when I can I will perform, but I'm not there to show anybody up. I'm there to entertain. If you put in the effort, I will praise you.
I breakdance sometimes for people and I sing and beatbox. Becoming the life of a party is easy for me to do. But I don't want to be the center of attention unless I can share that spotlight with somebody I can respect, otherwise I just feel like a douch most of the time.
So I understand where you are coming from. Some people don't know when to back off. I find this is usually the case in more aggresive things like sports. There are so many people in sports who try and 1-up another person and bring about unsportsmanship behavior. It just isn't right sometimes.
I'm not going to be there to compete with anybody, competition is usually not my thing. I'm just there to partake, you know?

Shirtless7 | Like the others and more will say, weapons slots and Warframe slots so you can have a bunch of different weapons and Warframes to pick from.
EVERYTHING (well 99% of everything) can be farmed in game. The exception being some event weapons and the Founder's exclusives (Excalibur Prime, Skana Prime, Lato Prime). Don't pay platinum to buy a weapon in the games market. If you want to pay platinum to other players for Prime Parts that is fine, but you should be able to farm them yourself.

tehfunnymans | I think it works just fine right now, and not because it prevents war. With modern communications being what they are, having ambassadors at the UN seems relatively unimportant as a war-prevention mechanism. People love to hate it for being toothless, but it wasn't designed to be powerful. It was designed to allow the rulers of large spheres of influence to cooperate, and it does that job just fine.
The UNSC provides the great powers a way to cooperate when they want to cooperate and doesn't force any one of them to cooperate when they do not. That means that membership has few costs and many benefits. Not being able to force action or accession makes it stable. When the powers decide to cooperate, it's there to reduce transaction costs and make it easier for them to do what they want to. That's great. The veto means that if one of them doesn't feel like doing something, the rest have to figure out an ad-hoc way of working together. That's exactly where they'd be without the UNSC. Its presence doesn't make cooperation outside of itself harder. If the US wants to form an alliance to contain the USSR, it can go off and form NATO. If the US wants to invade Iraq, it can try to convince other countries to join up. Blaming the UNSC for inaction is incorrect. Blame the countries that chose not to act. They simply aren't willing to pay the cost of cooperating outside of the UNSC framework.
TL;DR: the UNSC reduces certain costs of cooperation for great powers. Blaming it for not reducing others (or forcing cooperation) requires holding it to a ridiculously high standard. | I think it works just fine right now, and not because it prevents war.

realtimmahh | The TDP of the new chips is very very low [4.5W]; that's why they were able to go fan-less.. they don't generate much heat, even at 1.3 GHz.

zlhill | Your history is off, there's nothing particularly Christian about circumcision. It [dates back]( to Ancient Egypt thousands of years before Christianity and is most associated with Judaism theologically (and by extension Islam, but it is not mentioned in the Qu'ran). It is firmly a Semitic tradition. It was not practiced among Christians until the late 1800s, when it became popular in the English-speaking world for a combination of medical and moralistic, but non-theological, reasons. Today it's still not common in most predominantly Christian countries, i.e. Latin America and Europe.

OssiansFolly | What people and players don't understand is that overhead is a thing. Does that justify some prices? No, but it will absolutely impact prices. MOST LGS locations will be more expensive than TCG so that is a horrible example...heck even buylist is going to be cheaper than TCG.
This player needs to realize that store is not the best deal to be buying cards and to get them elsewhere. I had a similar situation locally to me where I went into the store with a printed out list of the cards I wanted from TCG. I had planned on paying a little extra and assumed the $125 in cards from TCG would probably be $150 (I was buying almost a full commander deck). Knowing I was asking for a LARGE quantity of cards and there is only one person there to pull cards for me I dropped off the list and let him do it at his leisure. I had to call him after 5 days and ask his progress. He said just a few more days is all he'd need. When I got the call and went to pick them up a few days later he wanted $225 for the list of cards. After telling him that I supported his store for 15 years and wanted to continue to support him I politely told him I couldn't and wouldn't pay almost double what I could pay elsewhere. He told me he used an online resource to price the cards (I assumed TCG High). After talking to him further he considered coming down to $200, so I told him no thanks. I don't buy cards from that store anymore.
TL;DR - Been in that same situation and stopped buying cards at that store.
Make sure that the store's Yelp and other reviews all reflect the experience.

Spodermayne | They've already explained why this wouldn't work. They have to be able to penalize people with -lp without taking away their mmr. If Riot takes away 3 lp for a dodge or even 10 or more for repeated offenses, they can't take away mmr or a good player will play with bad players simply because he skipped. If you use an artificial lp system you can take away the merit without taking away mmr. If people can just check their mmr after a punishment and see it hasn't changed then they won't care about dodging or decay or anything else.
The lp system is necessary, just poorly implemented. Promotion series are largely arbitrary and completely contradictory to the idea of lp in the first place. Afks in a game could easily subtract from lp but not mmr (I'm not a worse player for losing the game because someone didn't connect than I would be if I won if he had). In other words the benefits that could have come from an lp system were largely ignored while drawbacks like lp cliffs (try dia 5) or promotion series are there for seemingly no reason.
The elo system as a whole breaks down after around the 2.5k elo mark anyway, so it's not really Riot's fault. Challenger and Master are huge and largely inneffective bandaids placed to keep it in check. Chess masters also use the elo system and the gripes are numerous. At a high enough elo it's impossible to seperate people consistantly and fairly. To get to 2.5 or even 2.9ish like some have done you need to beat worse players, but if a 2.9 elo shits on 2.3 elo kids all day every day, is he 3.0? How can he be if no one else is there? Who is to say how much better someone like Faker, Apdo, or Marin are than their counterparts? Are they winning because they're gods and could easily demolish people, or are they winning because their skill cap is just a liiiiiiitle bit higher than everyone else's? They'd win either way, but their skill is largely unknown.
Tl;dr ranking systems (esp for team games) (esp with "lp" systems on top) are hard as fuck to create and the math involved to create a new one and judge the extremes of the spectrums would be extraordinary and HIGHLY unlikely to come from a gaming studio. Hope this helps. | They've already explained why this wouldn't work. They have to be able to penalize people with -lp without taking away their mmr. If Riot takes away 3 lp for a dodge or even 10 or more for repeated offenses, they can't take away mmr or a good player will play with bad players simply because he skipped. If you use an artificial lp system you can take away the merit without taking away mmr.

DeebsTundra | I've put my fair share of hours into Destiny. And I'm happy with the money I've spent versus the time I've invested. I bought the season pass, because I bought the hype train. I wasn't mad at the end result, but I was underwhelmed. My biggest issue with this game is it hits a plateau, rather quickly. Right now, getting to "max level" is easy. Prior to TDB, if you were 30, you were a shining beacon among the stars.
But what happens once you hit 32. The highest level activity gives you a shot at 5 items that are not attainable anywhere else. Look at other loot based games, specifically Borderlands. Borderlands, in it's raid bosses, has a chance to drop anything. Anything might be better than what you have. That's where the joy of a grind comes from. That possibility that the item you are about to get is better than what you have now. It's that chase for improvement.
With the coming ability to upgrade what seems to be any old raid equipment, there's more to choice in the "end-game" of Destiny. But my base issue with the game still exists - there's not that much to chase. Am I chasing another piece of raid gauntlets that have 120 Intellect instead of 115? For what?
I still play Destiny, I don't hate it. It still feels like one of the most solid FPS (MMOFPS, RTFPS, ALKLSNFHJ, whatever acronym you feel fits the bill here) out there based upon it's gameplay.
I'm withholding judgement until we see the reveal stuff, but Destiny needs more to chase.
TLDR; Wait and see. | I've put my fair share of hours into Destiny. And I'm happy with the money I've spent versus the time I've invested. I bought the season pass, because I bought the hype train.

MrSinister248 | I am cautiously optimistic. I think Prison of Elders will at least be a fun change of pace. Same with the new missions/strike. I really hate the PS4 exclusivity deal these days. The three questions I hope to get answered are.
1.) How will Vendor weapons be handled now that Other gear can be upgraded. will we finally get to reroll perks the way Iron Banner does?
2.) What is going to happen to the gear that was intended to be the raid gear? Will it be available through Prison of Elders or will it get held along with the raid. I'm worried that rather than giving us gear in the PoE, we will get the upgrade materials we need for our old gear.
3.) What is going to happen to the HoW raid that we paid for? I understand if you are going to hold it and then give it to us in the lull before comet, but if you're going to roll it into comet and then charge me for it again, I'm gonna be a lot pissed. We were all reassured way back before TDB that the House of Wolves was going to be much bigger content wise than TDB, so I don't buy in to the "They swapped the raid for PoE so it evens out" argument. We were going to get PoE either way. I realize this one might not get answered for awhile. But there is at least a precedent here. Vault of Glass wasn't there day one. It just appeared one day. The House of Wolves Raid COULD do the same.

Faroh_ | I don't know if you're being serious or not, but your statement is incredibly flawed.
Gaming is a past time, sure. But dragging a TV and an XBox to a public location (after hours) is pretty indicative of addictive (and probably self-destructive) behavior.
You called it art - I know LOTS of artists. No one I know would bring their canvas and paint to a public place and set up shop. No one I know would practice their lines, sing scales, or rehearse a tap number in a public restaurant. Why? Because it's weird and inconsiderate. There are certain activities you do at home - if you're that much of an addict that you will go do it in a random public area just to get your fix, you more than likely have a problem.
Also, the most offensive part of your post is you refer to playing video games as "art". No. Just, no. Art by nature is a *creative* process. Sitting on your ass in your underwear isn't productive or creative in any way. I say this as an artist and as an avid lover of video games. You could say *creating* video games is a form of art, I'd go with that, but *TAKING YOUR TV AND XBOX TO TACO BUENO TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES ISN'T ARTISTIC*.
There's nothing to be ashamed of by playing video games and it isn't "weird" in and of itself, but let's be honest, doing what this guy isn't normal and shouldn't be considered normal or acceptable. I wouldn't have faulted either of those places for kicking him out.
TLDR - Don't try to defend what this guy did as normal or healthy behavior, and for damn sure don't compare it to "art". | I don't know if you're being serious or not, but your statement is incredibly flawed.

DeathStroke47 | I'm a guy in his late 20's btw.
It started last year when I started at my job and she came up to me, a women in her mid 30's, short, chubby, and I instantly filed her in the "not interested" file cabinet in my mind. She introduced herself and I politely did the same. A month passes and she asks me out. I politely said no.
A week goes by and another co-worker told me that she had heard the woman say that eventually I'll see there isn't much option where I work and she'll be there to reap my desperation.
This creeped me the fuck out. Then it started. Almost every day, she'd make a habit to come in contact with me. Small bump into me with her elbow or other body part while we all go to break or at the end of the day she'd touch my shoulder and tell me to have a nice day or invite me out to "hang".
I went to HR multiple times but the HR associate didn't do much other than have "talks" with the individual. I know these talks were just slaps on the wrist because I'm a guy complaining that a women is hitting on me and I dont like it.
Well, that associate didn't last long. A new associate comes in and take over all the work. She calls me in and asks me for more details about my claims. She says she'll work with me to get it resolved. I told her the ladies habits and she said she'd watch for them.
Today at lunch, while waiting for delivery drivers to unload an item that took up the doorway, she came up behind me, I assume to get her coat that was on the rack a little ways off after passing me, and she caressed my side from my ribs to about my waist. She let her hand linger and gave squeeze while saying "excuse me" in such a way that it dripped flirting. I was shaken on the inside.
Later in the day she was called into HR and she was fired and I was asked if I wanted to take any action against her since it was captured on tape. I said that I just wanted her fired and away from me.

BrandonAUS | Having now seen the movie, I really don't have any major things that i disliked about it. I do think having a few new characters on top of an already sizeable team makes for an incredibly hard task to balance them all out. However I think it was done pretty much as best as it could have been. Yes a longer movie would always be better with a movie like this there is always more action, more backstory or another joke you can throw in and not be taking away from the overall movie, but then you run into the issue of people not liking it because it is too long.
With the amount of characters and scope of the movie I dare say no one else could have pulled it off. I also have reasonable vfx knowledge and some of the things were no small task to put together.
You also have to remember the movie has to be set for the films that will come after it, when a movie is a one off or the last of a story or something it is often very different. Having Civil War, Thor 3 and 2 more "Avengers" movies (not to mention all the other ones in between) means they have to have characters heading in a certain direction rather than doing anything because there is no follow up film.
TL:DR The movie was great, they did everything right in my opinion and I think people with a very negative view on it just don't like superhero movies. But that's my two cents. | Having now seen the movie, I really don't have any major things that i disliked about it.

VOZ1 | I really am baffled that you see no problems at all with a treaty of this magnitude being negotiated in secret. And not just secret with only our elected officials "in on it," but massive international corporations are negotiating while citizens are kept completely in the dark. If these negotiations are so sensitive that a single "rogue senator" could upend them--which we all know is rather common with the GOP these days--then why does no other bill require the same degree of secrecy? Why do those with knowledge of the bill's contents concede that it has to be secret because, if it weren't, voters wouldn't stand for it? Even the USA PATRIOT Act wasn't negotiated in secret, and that was literally about saving lives, killing terrorists, and potentially torturing people. But I guess trade is far more sensitive and important than simple matters of national security and life or death. TL;DR: your argument is absurd and anti-democratic. | I really am baffled that you see no problems at all with a treaty of this magnitude being negotiated in secret.

We drank from sunrise to sunset, and were just trashed from not eating all day and being in the sun.

mophan | Well, that's not exactly what he said. The context of Smiffy's rant was that it is pretty annoying to have someone (admittedly, a pretty successful actor) who failed at one super hero role given a second opportunity to play another superhero; and I totally agree.
Ross went on to give a perfect example of a successful franchise (Game of Thrones) giving opportunities to relatively unknown actors and still becoming very successful. There is an abundance of talent available to choose from that a franchise that is expected to be successful should not limit themselves to blockbuster actors/actresses.
Marvel and DC already have a built-in fan base. The audience will come just to see the movie. There is more of a risk by casting a high profile star in a main role and alienating a huge percentage of the prospective audience who disagree with the decision because of said actor/actress previous performances. The risk is far less when casting an unknown, but admittedly well talented, person for the same role.

LaMeraPija | Two nights ago I went to a sushi restauraunt. They had recently remodeled and they had a 30g biocube with two tangs and a porcupine puffer. They had clearly just put the sand in because the water was cloudy. The whole shitshow had probably been up for less than a week, as evidenced by the fact that the fish were still alive. One of the tangs was already having trouble swiming.
A lot of people talk about the ethics of keeping a fish in a tank that size. They're not wrong. I care about fish but it's not just an issue of ethics. That shit gets expensive. This guy with his overstocked biocube is going to be looking at some pricy dead livestock in a few days.
So it occurs to me that this might be why a lot of people think saltwater is expensive and dificult. They drop a bunch of cash on equipment and livestock and it dies and they get discouraged. The equipment ends up on craigslist because, "salwater is really hard". It doesn't have to be that way. This guy with the biocube could have just bought some clownfish and a goby. Most customers would not know or care that they're not expensive fish.
Honestly when a fish store sells somone a tang who can't take care of it they're not doing themselves or the industry a favor. That customer is going to be discouraged when that expensive fish dies and they're going to be wary of spending any more money. They're going to say to their freids, "I tried saltwater, It was expensive and hard." The net result is that people who might enjoy the hoby are disuaded because they think that marine tanks are only for the very wealthy.
TLDR: Its not just about ethics or feeligs when it comes to the Tang Police. Fish stores would make more money in the long run if they sold noobs fish that they can actually take care of instead of just taking advantage of inexperienced customers with money to burn. The hoby and the industry would be better off if LFSs were more honest about what fish a person can reasonably expect to be able to keep.

celticguy08 | > are not real.
Do you have any actual proof that this as much a hoax as "we have discovered life on another planet", or are you making that false equivilency hoping I wouldn't see it?
Your example has nothing to do with the situation, they are completely unrelated occurences. Just because this article has the form those other articles take, doesn't mean the science behind it "is not real".
You are essentially claiming that because the scientists working on this haven't figured it all out and don't have a huge breakthrough that is all over the news, that the small anomaly that was observed is completely insignificant. Actually more than that, you called it bullshit.
Now what if in a year that anomaly was the very first step to the eventual development of faster-than-light travel? Would it still be bullshit?
tl;dr burden of proof lies on the accusor. All I am saying is it has the potential to be a breakthrough in science, but if you say it is bullshit you better be in that lab proving them wrong or else you don't have the merit to rain on our parade.
P.S. about the facebook stuff, It is inevitable some people will misinterpret this to mean we have warp drive or something, and those people are just straight stupid and should be ignored. That doesn't mean we intelligent people can't be excited about the implications a small observation could have for the future given that we know it is not as of yet a definitive collaborated conclusion. | > are not real.

Spazz510 | My friend was *parked* at a gas pump when a soccer mom backed into the *side* of his car. She proceeded to get out and starts yelling at him for *hitting her SUV*. As he is telling her what actually happened this group of 30-ish year old guys come over and start calling him "some punk" because he "can't take responsibility for what he did". As the lady starts having a meltdown all but two guys go to comfort her, as the two tell him how terrible he is for what he's putting her through. Luckily, people get backed into all the time at this gas station so the clerk called the cops ASAP. It took surveillance video to get the officer to believe that he didn't somehow drift his Cavalier into her Suburban as he pulled in for gas.

trapped_by_shitlords | I like how everybody is pussy-footing around the obvious issue at hand: Women have been incentivized to claim domestic abuse for anything under the sun.
This is the natural progression of unchecked feminism for the past 30 years. "Rape culture," Violence Against Women Act, Etc. The subtle brain training we've all undergone has made it so incredibly painful to just come out and say that "All women in the United States hold a trump card, and they're aware of how to use it against men they don't like."
The only reason you're seeing a mug shot is because she actually assaulted him on video. Had she not done that and just filed a false report, she would still be free, with the capacity to do god knows what.
The infuriating thing is also that false accusers are likely to repeat their behavior because no punishment exists for said action. It's like refusing to punishing a child: If they know they can get away with it, they'll just keep doing it. She's likely done this to others, and will continue to do this to others in the future.
Kobe Bryant, Ray McDonald, Brian Banks... The list goes on.
tl;dr: Women are incentivized to file false reports against men they don't like and face no consequences for getting caught out for it. Somehow, everybody is OK with this state of affairs, where 50% of the population has more legal rights than the other 50%. | I like how everybody is pussy-footing around the obvious issue at hand: Women have been incentivized to claim domestic abuse for anything under the sun.

NoddicalNarb | This happened to me
My Story,
I was DATING a girl for 3 months. We went out one night, she started an argument in the car with me. I admit I did tell her to "Shut the fuck up!" and about 5 seconds later, she punches me in the face while I am driving. She was drunk, I was sober btw.
At this point, I planned on going back to my place, running up to my apartment and locking her out. I successfully managed to do so, and she started banging on the door yelling and screaming in the hallway of my apartment. I look down at the coffee table and see her purse, with her wallet and everything in it. I cracked the door open and she FORCED herself in, dumped out the contents of her purse and is continually yelling and screaming and crying. Asking me "WHY!?!?! WHY!?!!" like a total fucking nutcase.
I kept repeating, please leave, call your dad to come get you, call someone to come get you, you hit me, you are NOT staying here.
Then a 5 foot tall 100 pound girl comes flying at me, windmilling punching me and somehow manages to TAKE ME TO THE GROUND. I am 6 foot and 180.
**This is where I made a huge mistake.**
I said "If you don't leave, I will call the cops on you"
She said "If you call the cops I will tell them you have some weed in here (I had about 2 joints stashed away I was 25 at the time)"
I said "If you do that we will both go to jail"
She said "Not if I tell them you HIT ME"
I called 911 on the way out the door grabbed my keys pulled to the front of my Condo, and waited for the police to show up.
I stand outside and talk to them while they go upstairs and talk to her.
I tell them the WHOLE STORY. 5 mins later the other cop comes downstairs, talks to his partner and they tell me to "put my hands behind my back" and that I am being arrested for DOMESTIC VIOLENCE/Family VIOLENCE/Assault Class C misdemeanor.
While pulling away from my apartment, I ask the police if I can lock the place up. They said, does "Name Redacted" have a key, I said NO! They said, well if anything is missing or if she breaks or steals anything just call us back out here and we can charge her with vandalism or theft. And that if they let her leave, she would be "public intox" and that would just piss her off more. I was freaking out at this point. In handcuffs in the back of a squad car for the first time in my life. THIS IS A GIRL I AM DATING, NOT LIVING WITH AND THEY LEFT HER THERE.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I DID WAS LAWYER THE FUCK UP!
Even though it is not a MAJOR CRIME, I think I was charged with a Class C misdemeanor. The cops told me "its just like a traffic ticket" DO NOT LISTEN TO THE COPS.
This isn't just any charge, it carries A LOT of weight. It automatically issues a protective order against you. You are not allowed to possess a firearm of ANY kind EVER. Domestic Violence is a serious charge.
I was able to walk through jail, I paid $500 bail, had my Mom come get me. We pull up to my apartment about 2 hours from the time I was put in handcuffs. And THE GIRL IS STILL INSIDE MY APARTMENT! My mom goes upstairs tells her she needed to leave or get a ride home or WHATEVER. (thank god she left) She had done a couple loads of laundry, made my bed and tidied the place up a bit. (VERY SCARY)
*IMPORTANT STUFF HERE I GOT A LAWYER THE NEXT DAY FIRST THING. I know it is shitty but here is all of the advice he gave me. He said "She will try to contact you, keep every email, text message, voicemail, IGNORE ALL PHONE CALLS. If you do respond to her only say ""I still love you but I can not talk to you until this is all over"" I thought this was pretty fucked up, but this is coming from a very expensive attorney. He said it is important to give her a "glimmer of hope" and that most girls that pull this type of shit are familiar with the system. (either had fucked up parents, or did the same shit to ex-boyfriends) He also said that my best shot of getting the case dismissed is her not showing up to court. (she knew this and reminded me too) So this is what I said to her in every email that I responded to.*
> "This situation is VERY serious. You know I did not and would not do anything to hurt you EVER. I still love you and care about you but I CAN NOT talk to you until this stuff is over with and behind us"
Keep it simple, she sent me page after page of emails, love letters, hate letters, psychotic voice messages, text messages. Instant messages from random screen names, saying things like **"I know you have an attorney, but I AM THE BEST DEFENSE YOU HAVE"** **"If you won't talk to me how am I supposed to help you?"** I wanted nothing to do with this girl and have never contacted her since. I kept the emails, and IMs, and texts. Printed them all out (something like 30 pages) gave the to my attorney before he went to meet with the District attorney.
I did have the right to file charges on her for assaulting me. But I just wanted to make this go away.
In Texas at least, most of the cases are pursued by the District Attorney, 90% of the time the woman tries to drop the charges (usually after bubba who actually gives his wife a black eye and apologizes) So as frustrating as it was remember, these laws are there to protect women that are ACTUALLY being abused. And throughout the whole ordeal that was the only way I was able to come to terms with possibly being convicted of being a "wife beater".
Anyhow, the courts completely dismissed my case. The DA talked to her, my lawyer showed the DA all of the crazy shit she said. They spoke with her too. And it was a female District Attorney. (made me feel a little better) And it was completely thrown out of court THANK JEBUS!
Even though my case was dismissed, it still showed up on my record (ANY BACKGROUND CHECK) for 2 years until I was able to have my record expunged. Currently it shouldn't show up but it could. I was charged/arrested for domestic violence. Stigma Much?
It cost me another $1k to have it expunged 2 years later after the statute of limitations expired. Because technically she could have re-opened the case if she wanted to cause a fuss even after it was dismissed. MORE REASON TO STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER.
*On a positive note, I did get my $500 bail back, a little bit of redemption felt good.*
In my opinion this girl was a pro at manipulating the system, anytime it is a "domestic violence" situation *SOMEONE* is going to jail.
In Texas where I live it is 99.99% of the time going to be the guy that gets arrested.
But think about how it looks to the cops, crying, screaming, redfaced girl. And calm, concise sober boyfriend. From their perspective I did look guilty as sin.
I had to learn that just because something like this happens, it doesn't make me a bad person. I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not a criminal. Being in handcuffs and driven to jail was the most dehumanizing experience of my life. It was something I truly believed I would never have to experience.
As unlikely as I know it is, the scariest part is I am worried that she will see this and contact me somehow.
Hindsight is always 20/20 I know there were many things I should/could have done differently, I just wanted to share so some of you may learn from what happened to me.

They said, well if anything is missing or if she breaks or steals anything just call us back out here and we can charge her with vandalism or theft. And that if they let her leave, she would be "public intox" and that would just piss her off more. I was freaking out at this point. In handcuffs in the back of a squad car for the first time in my life. THIS IS A GIRL I AM DATING, NOT LIVING WITH AND THEY LEFT HER THERE.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I DID WAS LAWYER THE FUCK UP!
Even though it is not a MAJOR CRIME, I think I was charged with a Class C misdemeanor. The cops told me "its just like a traffic ticket" DO NOT LISTEN TO THE COPS.
This isn't just any charge, it carries A LOT of weight. It automatically issues a protective order against you. You are not allowed to possess a firearm of ANY kind EVER. Domestic Violence is a serious charge.
I was able to walk through jail, I paid $500 bail, had my Mom come get me. We pull up to my apartment about 2 hours from the time I was put in handcuffs. And THE GIRL IS STILL INSIDE MY APARTMENT! My mom goes upstairs tells her she needed to leave or get a ride home or WHATEVER. (thank god she left) She had done a couple loads of laundry, made my bed and tidied the place up a bit. (VERY SCARY)
*IMPORTANT STUFF HERE I GOT A LAWYER THE NEXT DAY FIRST THING. I know it is shitty but here is all of the advice he gave me. He said "She will try to contact you, keep every email, text message, voicemail, IGNORE ALL PHONE CALLS. If you do respond to her only say ""I still love you but I can not talk to you until this is all over"" I thought this was pretty fucked up, but this is coming from a very expensive attorney. He said it is important to give her a "glimmer of hope" and that most girls that pull this type of shit are familiar with the system. (either had fucked up parents, or did the same shit to ex-boyfriends) He also said that my best shot of getting the case dismissed is her not showing up to court. (she knew this and reminded me too) So this is what I said to her in every email that I responded to.*
> "This situation is VERY serious. You know I did not and would not do anything to hurt you EVER. I still love you and care about you but I CAN NOT talk to you until this stuff is over with and behind us"
Keep it simple, she sent me page after page of emails, love letters, hate letters, psychotic voice messages, text messages. Instant messages from random screen names, saying things like **"I know you have an attorney, but I AM THE BEST DEFENSE YOU HAVE"** **"If you won't talk to me how am I supposed to help you?"** I wanted nothing to do with this girl and have never contacted her since. I kept the emails, and IMs, and texts. Printed them all out (something like 30 pages) gave the to my attorney before he went to meet with the District attorney.
I did have the right to file charges on her for assaulting me. But I just wanted to make this go away.
In Texas at least, most of the cases are pursued by the District Attorney, 90% of the time the woman tries to drop the charges (usually after bubba who actually gives his wife a black eye and apologizes) So as frustrating as it was remember, these laws are there to protect women that are ACTUALLY being abused. And throughout the whole ordeal that was the only way I was able to come to terms with possibly being convicted of being a "wife beater".
Anyhow, the courts completely dismissed my case. The DA talked to her, my lawyer showed the DA all of the crazy shit she said. They spoke with her too. And it was a female District Attorney. (made me feel a little better) And it was completely thrown out of court THANK JEBUS!
Even though my case was dismissed, it still showed up on my record (ANY BACKGROUND CHECK) for 2 years until I was able to have my record expunged. Currently it shouldn't show up but it could. I was charged/arrested for domestic violence. Stigma Much?
It cost me another $1k to have it expunged 2 years later after the statute of limitations expired. Because technically she could have re-opened the case if she wanted to cause a fuss even after it was dismissed. MORE REASON TO STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER.
*On a positive note, I did get my $500 bail back, a little bit of redemption felt good.*
In my opinion this girl was a pro at manipulating the system, anytime it is a "domestic violence" situation *SOMEONE* is going to jail.
In Texas where I live it is 99.99% of the time going to be the guy that gets arrested.
But think about how it looks to the cops, crying, screaming, redfaced girl. And calm, concise sober boyfriend. From their perspective I did look guilty as sin.
I had to learn that just because something like this happens, it doesn't make me a bad person. I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not a criminal. Being in handcuffs and driven to jail was the most dehumanizing experience of my life. It was something I truly believed I would never have to experience.
As unlikely as I know it is, the scariest part is I am worried that she will see this and contact me somehow.
Hindsight is always 20/20 I know there were many things I should/could have done differently, I just wanted to share so some of you may learn from what happened to me.
**TL;DR: Called the cops on a crazy ex girlfriend and I went to jail.** | This happened to me I didn't have video. I went to jail.
My Story,
I was DATING a girl for 3 months. We went out one night, she started an argument in the car with me. I admit I did tell her to "Shut the fuck up!" and about 5 seconds later, she punches me in the face while I am driving. She was drunk, I was sober btw.
At this point, I planned on going back to my place, running up to my apartment and locking her out. I successfully managed to do so, and she started banging on the door yelling and screaming in the hallway of my apartment. I look down at the coffee table and see her purse, with her wallet and everything in it. I cracked the door open and she FORCED herself in, dumped out the contents of her purse and is continually yelling and screaming and crying. Asking me "WHY!?!?! WHY!?!!" like a total fucking nutcase.
I kept repeating, please leave, call your dad to come get you, call someone to come get you, you hit me, you are NOT staying here.
Then a 5 foot tall 100 pound girl comes flying at me, windmilling punching me and somehow manages to TAKE ME TO THE GROUND. I am 6 foot and 180.
This is where I made a huge mistake.
I said "If you don't leave, I will call the cops on you"
She said "If you call the cops I will tell them you have some weed in here (I had about 2 joints stashed away I was 25 at the time)"
I said "If you do that we will both go to jail"
She said "Not if I tell them you HIT ME"
I called 911 on the way out the door grabbed my keys pulled to the front of my Condo, and waited for the police to show up.
I stand outside and talk to them while they go upstairs and talk to her.
I tell them the WHOLE STORY. 5 mins later the other cop comes downstairs, talks to his partner and they tell me to "put my hands behind my back" and that I am being arrested for DOMESTIC VIOLENCE/Family VIOLENCE/Assault Class C misdemeanor.

Hookerboots12 | I don't understand why some women do it either. I could never do that kind of thing.
My friend has always dated crazy ass women, the most recent baby mama was the worst one IMO. One weekend she went to the beach with a guy she "considers her brother" - supposed to be gone 2 days because their baby was still only a few months old. The third and fourth day I watched the baby for him, on the fourth day she said she would be back "around 3". He got home from work at 10pm, she still wasn't back so he locked the doors and went to bed.
Midnight comes around, she calls him and said she's almost back and he needed to unlock the door for her (she didn't have a key to their place), he said no that she could just stay with that guy because him and the kids were in bed. She threatens to call the cops and say he hit her. He unlocked the door and went back to the bed, she told him to go to the couch. He has sleep apnea and she didn't "allow" him to sleep in his own bed because it was hard for her to sleep. He refused and she called the cops saying he hit her. They figured it was a stupid domestic squabble and told him to leave. He paid the bills, did nothing wrong, he had to leave his own place.
He ended up staying with my husband and I that night, and we told him to leave her. A couple of weeks later, he gets smart during one of her freak outs and records her yelling at him, screaming at him, hitting him. They showed up and arrested her crazy ass and he got a restraining order against her.

Mjone77 | Seriously, people need to understand this. Mod developers *do deserve* to get paid for their work. Valve is going about it all wrong, so I'm angry about that, but far too many people are angry that mod developers are charging at all.
#Why you *shouldn't* be complaining
**Argument #1:** "It is just a hobby and they put them out for free because the modders understand this and do it for the benefit of the community, and if you charge you are destroying everything that mods stand for"
**Why that's wrong:** Mod developers are people too, they have jobs and families and need money just like everyone else. So far mods have been free largely because it's a gray area and they could get into legal trouble if they tried to charge, but now that valve has a legal way to charge for mods, developers can start to charge. Saying that it's just a hobby and they shouldn't get paid is extremely ignorant, painting could be just a hobby, but artists still ask for money, same with music and many other professions, heck one day I dream to turn my hobby of coding into a job by selling games that I code, should I not get paid for that because it started out as just a hobby? Also, due to mod developers not getting paid, many mods have been left abandoned because the devs have to focus on their actual jobs in order to sustain themselves, but if they were paid for their mods, they could put more time into them and maybe even turn modding into a full time job.
**Argument #2:** "Steam should have just added a donation button instead of forcing you to pay"
**Why that's wrong:** Don't even pretend that a donation button would make even close to as much money as actually charging for the mods would. People use this argument without any intention to ever donating to a single mod developer. Sure they may get some donations, but very few people actually donate to people, so please stop pretending that a donation button would work. It would make a little extra cash for the dev, but it won't generate even close to the amount that charging for the mod would.
**Argument #3:** "so if i put out music do i expect to get paid for something mediocre and easily done?"
**Why that's wrong:** This is frankly insulting to mod developers. If it's so easy to develop mods, then why don't you stop bitching about having to pay for them and code them for yourself? And even if it is extremely easy, I don't care how simple or shitty your mod is, you have a right to charge for it. This doesn't mean that you need to buy it, if you don't think it's not worth the money then don't buy it, it's that simple. If I wanted to I could take a shit in a cup and try to sell that, nobody would buy it but I can still ask money for it. There is nothing wrong with asking for money for something that you've put time and effort into (or even something you didn't).
**Argument #4:** "I don't wanna pay for a mod that might not work when the game gets patched"
**Why that's wrong:** Sure this is a possibility, but if developers are being paid, they will both have more time to update their mods to make sure they are compatible and they will be under an obligation to make sure that they are compatible, so this shouldn't be much of an issue for newer, more popular mods. I could see this being an issue for older, less popular mods though, so this is one spot where valve's method falls short.
#Tl;Dr
Stop bitching about having to pay for mods for the wrong reasons. Mod developers deserve to be paid for their work, because it is in fact *work*. More money for developers == more mods, higher quality mods, and less abandoned mods. Also, don't act like a donation button would generate nearly the same amount of money as charging.
___
#Why you *should* be complaining
1. Steam is only giving the developers 25% of the money. This a laughable amount, pocket change really (even less most of the time if you consider software cost to develop the mods), developers deserve *at least* 80% in my opinion, and preferably they should receive more than that. Steam did nothing to deserve a cut, and the base game developers did almost nothing to help either.
2. People stealing mods from various websites and uploading them to the steam market and asking for money needs to be stopped. This is just wrong in every way and steam needs some sort of verification process to end this.
3. Various other reasons I don't feel like listing out | Seriously, people need to understand this. Mod developers do deserve to get paid for their work. Valve is going about it all wrong, so I'm angry about that, but far too many people are angry that mod developers are charging at all.
Why you shouldn't be complaining
Argument #1: "It is just a hobby and they put them out for free because the modders understand this and do it for the benefit of the community, and if you charge you are destroying everything that mods stand for"
Why that's wrong: Mod developers are people too, they have jobs and families and need money just like everyone else.

Argument #4: "I don't wanna pay for a mod that might not work when the game gets patched"
Why that's wrong: Sure this is a possibility, but if developers are being paid, they will both have more time to update their mods to make sure they are compatible and they will be under an obligation to make sure that they are compatible, so this shouldn't be much of an issue for newer, more popular mods. I could see this being an issue for older, less popular mods though, so this is one spot where valve's method falls short.
Tl;Dr
Stop bitching about having to pay for mods for the wrong reasons. Mod developers deserve to be paid for their work, because it is in fact work . More money for developers == more mods, higher quality mods, and less abandoned mods. Also, don't act like a donation button would generate nearly the same amount of money as charging.
Why you should be complaining
Steam is only giving the developers 25% of the money. This a laughable amount, pocket change really (even less most of the time if you consider software cost to develop the mods), developers deserve at least 80% in my opinion, and preferably they should receive more than that. Steam did nothing to deserve a cut, and the base game developers did almost nothing to help either.
People stealing mods from various websites and uploading them to the steam market and asking for money needs to be stopped. This is just wrong in every way and steam needs some sort of verification process to end this.
Various other reasons I don't feel like listing out
| pcmasterrace | t5_2sgp1 | cqoeewr | Seriously, people need to understand this. Mod developers do deserve to get paid for their work. Valve is going about it all wrong, so I'm angry about that, but far too many people are angry that mod developers are charging at all.
Why you shouldn't be complaining
Argument #1: "It is just a hobby and they put them out for free because the modders understand this and do it for the benefit of the community, and if you charge you are destroying everything that mods stand for"
Why that's wrong: Mod developers are people too, they have jobs and families and need money just like everyone else. So far mods have been free largely because it's a gray area and they could get into legal trouble if they tried to charge, but now that valve has a legal way to charge for mods, developers can start to charge. Saying that it's just a hobby and they shouldn't get paid is extremely ignorant, painting could be just a hobby, but artists still ask for money, same with music and many other professions, heck one day I dream to turn my hobby of coding into a job by selling games that I code, should I not get paid for that because it started out as just a hobby? Also, due to mod developers not getting paid, many mods have been left abandoned because the devs have to focus on their actual jobs in order to sustain themselves, but if they were paid for their mods, they could put more time into them and maybe even turn modding into a full time job.
Argument #2: "Steam should have just added a donation button instead of forcing you to pay"
Why that's wrong: Don't even pretend that a donation button would make even close to as much money as actually charging for the mods would. People use this argument without any intention to ever donating to a single mod developer. Sure they may get some donations, but very few people actually donate to people, so please stop pretending that a donation button would work. It would make a little extra cash for the dev, but it won't generate even close to the amount that charging for the mod would.
Argument #3: "so if i put out music do i expect to get paid for something mediocre and easily done?"
Why that's wrong: This is frankly insulting to mod developers. If it's so easy to develop mods, then why don't you stop bitching about having to pay for them and code them for yourself? And even if it is extremely easy, I don't care how simple or shitty your mod is, you have a right to charge for it. This doesn't mean that you need to buy it, if you don't think it's not worth the money then don't buy it, it's that simple. If I wanted to I could take a shit in a cup and try to sell that, nobody would buy it but I can still ask money for it. There is nothing wrong with asking for money for something that you've put time and effort into (or even something you didn't).

gogilitan | Local production as a means of augmenting importation is not the same as supplying a market solely through local means. You are right that profit potential does exist in most areas, however... my point was not with regards to small scale industry, but instead from an alliance industry management perspective. If they were to try to replace *all* alliance rigs with locally produced materials, it just wouldn't work. There isn't enough supply to cover all needs, and the demand for many of the materials produced from exploration and salvage just wouldn't be high enough. Import/export will always be a huge portion of a healthy economy.
Though I did say this in another comment: Arbitration is not the same as comparing the cost of importing goods vs local production. You would need to compare the cost of producing goods in highsec vs locally, and then subtract the freight costs per volume from the highsec goods to get a true comparison. Obviously selling in null is almost always more profitable, but producing in null often not, especially with low volume goods. Local production requires more time than importing, and leaves you more vulnerable to market shifts.
The best solution will always be a mix of local production and importation. Local producers often are not the primary force keeping the market well stocked, but they significantly improve the stability of prices. This comes down to their very nature: Importers can quickly switch to products with higher profit margins, while local producers have production cycles to work with, and often have products coming out regularly as they attempt to control their niche.
tl;dr Industrialists/marketeers will attempt to find profit wherever it may be, thereby improving the market for everyone. Trying to control those industrialists (e.g. not a free market) is not a good idea, no matter how pure the intentions may be. | Local production as a means of augmenting importation is not the same as supplying a market solely through local means.

If you actually have "real DBA" who can write, test, debug, and profile all that stuff, and feature-negotiation regularly happens between the database and application-layer teams... then it's probably OK, because at that point the DB is itself one of your "battle-tested tools for logic".

snarkyxanf | I'm going to both agree with you, but also respectfully disagree.
On the one hand, the basic self discipline that includes YAGNI and straightforwardness is both the most important and the hardest part. Expert musicians practice scales and athletes run sprints because doing the basics right is the foundation.
On the other hand, I'm certain it's not the *only* thing. Even the history of programming languages and operating systems show that it is not. Human readable assembly is easier to maintain than machine code. Structured languages are easier than assembly. Objects, pure functions, and garbage collection add even more advantages. Operating systems with memory isolation and preemptive multitasking are less bug prone than those without.
The two big themes are readability and modularity. It's great when we figure out how to build those into the systems themselves, but surely there is a range of choices we can make in the systems we have today that have different pros and cons to balance. Design is about tradeoffs, I'd like to know more about what ones are available.

zuurr | > ... premature optimization..
I'm actually talking more about premature abstraction. In my industry (games) it's hard to think too much about performance, and honestly given how long most stuff takes in a lot of programs... I wish that other areas of software took performance as seriously too, as I think there's a degree of anti-optimization in programming culture.
> Fair enough, but excessively large functions are hard to understand
Not sure this is actually true. It certainly can be, but I've seen 10kloc+ functions that were understandable, well written code (these were main loops in games). This is excessive, admittedly, but if a function is doing something extremely complex, you should . I'd say around 100-500 lines you should look to break up a complex function, and even then, only do so if it would really clear the code up. A 1000 line function in one place is *far* easier to change than if you split that up into many parts among several files. See the [First Link]( I had above for a discussion about this.
> Abstraction layers centralize the detailed manipulations and make the next layer simpler, but they can leak and make unexpected behavior much harder to diagnose.
I'd say that if you're worried about abstraction leakage, you've gone too far. In my experience, the abstraction should perform the detailed manipulation for you, not hide what the manipulation is.
> Edit: TL;DR "don't overengineer" is the first piece of essential advice, but we still have to engineer.
(and a few other things you said that fall into the same category, e.g. the modules thing)
Engineering shouldn't be about how to break up or structure code. Engineering is about processing data, and code is incidental. Programming is just a tool you use to manipulate computers, and the code itself is not the most important thing (what the code does is much more important).
If you find that you're creating real world problems (by making features overly difficult or impossible to implement) because of engineering decisions, that means the architecture is flawed and you should avoid it in the future.
Discussing pros and cons about how you structure software can be useful, but it's similar to mechanical engineers discussing the pros and cons of different types of welders, or something like that. It's not about the actual engineering, the engineering is what the code does (the RFC you linked is a good example of this, as it's a discussion about what the code does, and not how the code should be structured). | > ... premature optimization..

tomunro | You won't avoid a cliché by giving the race a different name, you will merely annoy the reader, in the same way as deciding that your world will have long conical orange root vegetables called Tarcors when everybody will know you are talking about carrots.
If it walks like an elf and talks like an elf, it's an elf.
That said, plenty of people have spun elves away from the traditional model of long lived, beautiful, benign, magical beings.
Graham Austin-King in his riven-wyrde trilogy has elves who are anything but fun, as did
Terry Pratchett in his take on elves (I think it was Lords and Ladies) and
Lucas Thorn's elf heroine Nysta is so bad ass and laden with an assortment of knives that she has to name them just so we can tell them apart.
And then again, some of us (myself included) like elves in the Tolkien mode and like to make our tweaks and twists at the level of individuals within the race, rather than in the race as a whole.
So I have elves in my work, they aren't all good, or clever, or wise, some are downright bitchy, but they are elves and I enjoyed writing them.
That said, after three books with them having a place on centre stage, I'm trying to lower and tweak the elvish profile a bit in the next book.

invadermoody | I'd say this is normal, but it depends. How much have you lost?
I ask because it's possible that you need to change your deficit again. For me once I lose 10-15lbs I need to reevaluate my macros because what was once a deficit is now closer to maintenance. I don't know how you're achieving your deficit; either nutrition, exercise, or a combination.
If it's strictly your nutrition you may want to lower your intake by another 100-200 kcals and see if that makes a difference. That being said, I don't know what your total intake is. Not knowing more than you've posted, and in my opinion, 800-1000 kcal deficit is pretty damn extreme. So certainly use you're own judgement here. Another option is adding like 20 minutes of HIIT a day to achieve more of a deficit and see if that changes something.
Tl;dr look at changing what you're eating again. Your body has changed and you will need to change with it.
*edit* I agree you are on the right track, though. | I'd say this is normal, but it depends. How much have you lost?
I ask because it's possible that you need to change your deficit again. For me once I lose 10-15lbs I need to reevaluate my macros because what was once a deficit is now closer to maintenance. I don't know how you're achieving your deficit; either nutrition, exercise, or a combination.
If it's strictly your nutrition you may want to lower your intake by another 100-200 kcals and see if that makes a difference. That being said, I don't know what your total intake is.

You won't find it like you do in Tampa/ South FL. (Especially if you want a Tampa style Cuban sandwich... Which you shouldn't. Because putting salami on a cuban is wrong.)
The arroz con pollo at La Fonda is solid. There are a couple of Coastal Mexican places on Buford Hwy that do ok. El
Rey del taco is one of them. There's a Dominican restaurant up in Gwinnett that I've heard good things about too.
It's hard to track down. Still haven't found plantinos like we had back home. Some of the Jamacian places do ok.

WithLinesOfInk | This is not true. Poorly socialized golden retrievers are just as likely to bite as a PitBull. They just don't do as much damage since their mouths and jaws aren't bred to be like a vice grip[ paired with a jack hammer. A pitbull or rottweiler is more likely to have a LETHAL bite mostly because of A) [mislabeling (a lot of people can't tell pit bulls apart for the 10ish other similar breeds)]( and B) They have crazy jaw muscles. They also aren't as likely to be reported for biting because people will excuse their behavior more due to the stigma of them being "nicer" dogs. It's a classic case of confirmation bias and correlation instead of causation. There have in fact been several studies that show that when the ["behaviors of dogs from one group of breeds banned or regulated as presumably
dangerous was tested, the dogs were no more likely to demonstrate inappropriate aggression than were a control group of Golden Retrievers."](
TL:DR - Bully breed dogs aren't "more aggressive", they are high-energy (like husky or shepherd) and do more physical damage when they do bite and [are reporter more than the more common "family friendly" dogs due to stereotyping]( which skews statistics.

thegreatbarcia | The American Pit Bull Terrier most certainly is a breed, and it is unfairly owned by pieces of shit everywhere. They are serious dogs that too often have the great misfortune of being owned by someone who wants to brandish them, the living equivalent of walking around with a pistol tucked into your waistband.
I'm assuming you just completely made up your second point, but just for laughs, here's the reference that most of the dog-loving world uses for keeping track of dog bites.
It's not categorical of course, but it's the best data available. You'll notice the trending information at the top of the site. Pits kill more people than any other dog by a good margin. The concrete reliability of the data can't be proven, but the general trend is irrefutable.

SweeterThanYoohoo | 1, pit is not a breed. There are close to 30 breeds that fall under the pit category.
2, The CDC has found that there is no scientifically reliable method of classifying dog bites by breed. This is because people are not dog experts and can easily confuse a lab for a pit bull type dog.
If you'd like to disregard point number 2, then thats fine because the overwhelming majority of dog bites are made by small dogs like chihuahuas. (Again though, the stats are unreliable, but thats what they actually say)

SwitchCuck123 | I actually don't get the whole SPH stuff tbh. I think that's because I'm fairly well endowned and I've never really had insecurities about that. In terms of subbing..the actual image of her fucking someone else disgusts me and doesn't even turn me on, it's just the embarrassment of not being first choice, being left at home missing out and her just not giving a fuck about what I think and doing what she wants whilst controlling me is what turns me on. I guess I've always been insecure about girls only being attracted to me, which is obviously a ridiculous thing to want. But you can't help instincts.
In terms of domming though it's all about humiliating my cuckquean. I think that side is fueled by rage and sadism because outside of cucking..in usual D/s sex, really embarrassing the girl and like choking whilst gagging them is hot.

ScepticalProphet | Ah thank you! Ok so the segment values add up now but, how would I calculate this EBIT from the Income Statement?
This would be the correct formula right:
EBIT = Revenue - Expenses + Non Operating Income = 2409241-1959351 + (403+32366) = 482,659
The closest I can get is if I remove Interest Revenue from Revenue and don't include Share of Profits from JVs, but do include Other Income.
EBIT = 2409241 - 1959351 - 8968 + 403 = 441,325
Whereas EBIT on the segment is 441,326.

IrishWeegee | Okay so, /r/SquaredCircle made two invisible, internet belts, the /r/SC Champion and the /r/SC Jobber. This started about a year ago with Ryback vs Zack Ryder. Ryback won, becoming the Champ and Zack became the Jobber.
And the way it goes is that only non-belt holders can win these. When someone beats Ryback 1v1 with a pin, submission, or special rules victory (Tables, Ladder, Last Man Standing), they become the new champ. When Ryder beats someone (same rules) the loser will become the new Jobber.
We have a rule that the person must show up on tv with 3 weeks of winning the title or it is vacated (Tyson won Jobber and disappeared). At Wrestlemania 31 Undertaker won the /r/SC champ from Wyatt, but didn't show up for 3 weeks and it was vacated until the first 1v1 match on RAW.

damien665 | I've owned nothing but manuals. Yes, autos are ok. Think of it like this: you're playing a video game. You decide you want your character to move in a specific manner. Sometimes, he does it right away, but most of the time he does it in a few seconds, not in any sort of truly predictable way. Maybe you can find some tricks to force him to do it when you want him to, but it still takes time. That's driving a traditional auto. A dual clutch will still do whatever it wants, but in far less time. Now imagine that your character moves immediately, as soon as you push the button he does it. You can start predicting what you'll need to do based on your environment, and will be able to seamlessly transition over obstacles as though you are the character in the game. There will be rewarding times where you are flawless, getting over obstacles with ease, and times where you might stumble a bit, but the character always does what you tell him to do at the exact.moment you tell him to.

Jpaynesae1991 | I feel more connected to the car with a manual. It's more of an experience, it makes the car feel like my own personal gundam! It's very exciting (if you don't know what a gundam is, google it)
Also, my first car was a manual. The car after that, an automatic, now I'm back in a manual.
I found that with an automatic I am a MUCH more dangerous driver. I was so bored driving an automatic that I constantly checked my phone and was driving distracted! Now that I'm back in a manual I hardly touch my phone and only focus on driving.

larkin28 | I have never been in a fight, but one time in high school my brother (we will call him Zeke) was waiting outside the classroom for his teacher to open the door and was chatting with a female friend of his. A classmate of his (lets say Pablo) came up and kept interrupting them, making inappropriate comments, and overall making her obviously very uncomfortable. Zeke told Pablo to cut it out, but Pablo wasn't having it. The girl was not happy with his comments, and Zeke told him again, to cut it out. Pablo then thought it would be okay to push Zeke, taunting, "yeah, why don't you make me?" Zeke replies with, "keep it up and I will." Pablo gives a good 'ol shove in the chest to Zeke, and makes another stupid comment. Zeke, being the badass older brother that he is, grabbed his head and bashed it in the wall. Pablo dropped to the floor, very regretful and most likely concussed, right as the ex-marine science teacher opened the door for his students to come in the class. He calls Zeke in and tells everyone to wait in the hall, and asks what the fuck he was thinking. The simple response was that Pablo was making Zeke's friend uncomfortable after they both told him to cut it out, told Zeke to make him cut it out, so he did. Mr. Military says, that was pretty dumb of you, but way to stand up for a friend, and basically that was that. Pablo never really fucked with my brother ever again.
TL;DR- Some kid was making my brother's female friend very uncomfortable, so he told the guy to stop. He replies with make me, then had his head slammed into a wall.

Pablo gives a good 'ol shove in the chest to Zeke, and makes another stupid comment. Zeke, being the badass older brother that he is, grabbed his head and bashed it in the wall. Pablo dropped to the floor, very regretful and most likely concussed, right as the ex-marine science teacher opened the door for his students to come in the class. He calls Zeke in and tells everyone to wait in the hall, and asks what the fuck he was thinking. The simple response was that Pablo was making Zeke's friend uncomfortable after they both told him to cut it out, told Zeke to make him cut it out, so he did. Mr. Military says, that was pretty dumb of you, but way to stand up for a friend, and basically that was that. Pablo never really fucked with my brother ever again. | Some kid was making my brother's female friend very uncomfortable, so he told the guy to stop. He replies with make me, then had his head slammed into a wall. Teacher saw and didn't punish my brother because Pablo was a douchebag. |
saibogu009 | My mother moved to Baltimore when I was 14, when I was 16 I finally got the chance to visit her. She didn't have much money and stayed about 20 mins out of the centre of town (I forget the area), anyway one of the first days she was working and I was left on my own I got bored and went for a walk. Ended up in what I found out after was a rather sketchy area. Now, a few people did approach me looking rather menacing, asking for money etc. And I did shit myself a fair bit, but as soon as I spoke to them were super nice to me and went on there way wishing me well and goodbye.
Now to let you know I am Scottish, and when they thought I was just some random white American kid they were totally gonna kick my ass and take my money. But, for some reason, as soon as they heard my Scottish accent.... nah not gonna bother him, just gonna ask loads of dumb ass questions about kilts and Nessie. This is when I learned Americans really do love Scots, fuck knows why, I was no different to any other white kid there. And for the rest of my time in Baltimore, no matter who approached me giving me shit (yeah pretty much always angry looking black guys asking me if I had any spare change, or strange looking sexual deviants trying to pick up a young white boy) I'd just hit out with my Scottish accent and boom, every one was my best mate, no hassles.
Take what you want from this story, but in my experience a 16 year old Scottish kid is effectively untouchable in one of the most dangerous cities in America.

simdrew99 | The only thing I see is a problem in disguise, as a trans-woman myself (you can probably see where this is going), is the blind, anti-trans (or so it seems) ideas that this subreddit pumps out.

But I will also point out that trans drama posts are most of the time enjoyable, I want to let them know that trans people are not all stupid.

TimS194 | An average adult weighing 150 to 180 lb (68 to 82 kg) has [4.7 to 5.5 liters]( of blood, let's just call it an even 5 L. The standard donation amount is 1 pint (473 mL).
We'll assume that the average adult weighs 160 lb (73 kg), is male, and that all alcohol enters the bloodstream shortly after you drink it. With ~10% less blood, you'll get intoxicated on ~10% less alcohol. According to [this chart]( you'd reach the legal limit in my jurisdiction (0.08%) after ~3.5 drinks. With 10% less blood, we'll knock .35 drinks off of that, so ~3.15 drinks.
But, according to my calculations, 3.5 drinks is equivalent to 1.75 fl oz of pure alcohol, which is actually about 1% of your total blood volume, so I think my "all alcohol enters bloodstream" idea is wrong. The legal limit actually means that only 0.135 fl oz of alcohol is flowing in your veins. Whether this affects the end result of 3.15 drinks depends on how exactly that is wrong. E.g. if it should be more like "1/12th of all alcohol enters bloodstream", then it's still correct.
TL;DR: a third of a drink.

Disclaimer: **Do not** take this as medical advice on drinking after donating blood as other factors may be in play.

Boners_from_heaven | No. I don't care if I get down voted for this. The problem of the race issue in America is not black it is white. But it is not black and white, like many would have you believe. Even if America didn't have racist laws, police officers, social standards and political practices racism would still exist in America. Black people have been systematically subjugated since their shackles were loosened. You will find no physical shackles on the black youth of today, but you will find the shackles of a broken society. One where a black youth is 5x more likely to go to prison 1/25th as likely to own a home and 1/37th as likely to get an education than his white counter part. Where were these types of people when wells fargo increased the sub-prime mortgage rate in Baltimore, leaving literally millions homeless and destitute. While this man may have the right intentions he's incorrect. The problem isn't people wanting to being thugs or gangsters, the problem is the explicit pernicious racist practices that are passed and endorsed by politicians. The problem is that out of all the CEO's in America only 6% are black. The problem is that when you grow up as a black person you're faced with a reality far different than that of a white person. You're faced with racist hiring practices, racist citizens and an overtly racist media. If we want to stop things like this from happening we need to stand up to corporations and the government and let them know that as citizens we will not tolerate the treatment these people receive. You may disagree with me, but you shouldn't. The prominent individualistic ideologies of modern America have been its undoing. There are things at play much larger than the individual and people need to wake up to the fact that regardless of how hard you try and how little racism you reinforce it will exist as long as racism is not confronted head on. Don't base you ideas off of something as anecdotal as this video, obtain a working understanding of sociology. Racism, sexism and the like are not easy to recognize in society, because they're so fundamental to our way of thinking and the way our society operates. It isn't until you realize the biases you and society hold that you are really able to analyze subject matter like this.
TL;DR: Racism is culturally engrained in society and simply changing your outlook or altering your approach will not make it disappear. It will however make you internalize your failures as a problem of self, not a problem of society; which it is.

ecib | All that math and nobody cares. Because it doesn't actually address the valid points that were made (regarding capacity especially), and the fact that customers don't exist solely to maximize your cash on hand at the end of the day.
>I am glad you did this a little while you were a child in college.
Speaking of math, I'm not sure what age you think people attend college, but last time I checked that is something that adults do. It was in my case anyway.
>as an adult a living wage means something different.
To be honest, it's more than a little sad that you're trying to *redefine adults as children* in order to pretend that someone who held the same profession as you didn't depend on the income as much as you do. Not only did I make a living wage as an adult doing this, I paid for all of my living expenses *and more*. I paid the rent, I put food on the table, I paid for school, and I needed *every penny*. If you're bitter serving as a career and having to wait on 1-tops, that's on you and those are your choices. Not my fault I put my tip money to good use. Maybe choose a different career. Anybody with the right attitude (probably not you) knows that it's up to you if you want it.
tldr; solo diners sitting at places other than the bar don't make waiting tables the least bit unsustainable. (Obviously). | All that math and nobody cares.

chiagod | I might be a bit off base, and someone please correct me if any of this is wrong. The way I understand it is:
It's in the way the tech was implemented. Basically to implement G-sync the monitor manufacturers have to buy a expensive (I think $150 has been thrown around) piece of hardware to replace the normal hardware used between the input of the monitors and the screen. This is why many G-Sync monitors only have 1 input (Display Port). Those that have more than one input actually have a separate board (and separate scaler).
AMD instead approached the scaler manufacturers and got them to integrate the adaptive sync spec in the Display Port standard. This took a bit longer to trickle down from them down to the monitor manufacturers but once it did it essentially cost the same as the scalers they would have to buy anyway to put in their monitors.
The [scaler]( being the board that contains the inputs and does the necessary conversion magic to ensure that what comes in matches the native display of the monitor.
Monitors that don't have scalers only work at one resolution and will blank out if you try to display anything else (Like the Korean QNIX monitors that are popular here).
Edit: TL;DR: NVidia went he faster (to market) route and made their own board which they then sold to monitor manufacturers. AMD instead got adaptive-sync built into the DisplayPort 1.2a standard and then went up one level higher in the supply chain to get the feature into the boards that the monitor manufacturers already sourced (and at a similar price).
