nullpointer- | Como o boobsbr disse, não parece que você ja teve alguma experiência profissional, ou pelo menos uma experiência que exigisse de verdade ensino superior.
Digo isso pois eu consideraria o oposto uma lição mais válida: uma empresa de tecnologia onde as pessoas façam apenas e estritamente o que o superior direto 'mandou' está fadada a definhar. Claro, ela pode ter uma produtividade 'base' decente a priori, mas a quantidade de problemas que poderiam ser resolvidos mais cedo se os funcionários opinassem, somado ao potencial de inovação desperdiçado, colocam a empresa numa situação bem pior se comparada a outras.
**TL;DR:** "Aprender a fazer que voce deve fazer o que seu chefe mandar" é uma máxima bem chinfrim para empregos em geral, e eu consideraria que ela vale _menos_ do que o normal para a área de Tecnologia.
Se eu tivesse de escolher uma, "Não importa o quanto você sabe, nem quão bem você sabe, e sim o quão bem você sabe aprender". | Como o boobsbr disse, não parece que você ja teve alguma experiência profissional, ou pelo menos uma experiência que exigisse de verdade ensino superior.

Gheeds_Charm | >Unlimited cash in politics.
Democrats are just as guilty as republicans, they spend nearly the same amount. How does one side complain about what the other is spending when BOTH outspend THIRD PARTIES by about a factor of 100!!
I am all for fairness with money in politics, but ONLY if it extends beyond Democrats and Republicans.
I hear all of this democrat rhetoric about how elections should be equal with money invested.
Wonder what would happen if a bill was proposed saying that they can't outspend 3rd parties. Dems and Reps would laugh it off of the floor.
tl;dr if you're not for leveling the playing field for third parties as well, it's hypocritical | >Unlimited cash in politics.

Sorge74 | As a liberal Democrat, I completely agree. Some form of ID should be available for free. I believe some states do, some don't. We cannot get a federal ID, because while it makes sense, a few million Americans will think its the mark of the beast, a few million will outcry privacy, a few million will outcry ID theft concerns, and a few crazies will say its for fema death camps.
As per state, as a skeptic, I know even though I doubt there are THAT many people in Ohio who don't and cannot afford IDs. 12 million people in Ohio, let's cut out children, let's just call it 9. So we have to look at how many of that 9 mil have drivers license, a vast majority, have 20 dollars for state ID if they don't, actually want an ID. I think if we really looked at the numbers, the vaay vast majority either A have an ID, or B don't care, lost it, fuck it, whatever. Even if you work part time at McDonalds, you probably had an ID at some point. Now let's take the people who actually vote....
TLDR: I'm sure its a plan to stop some people from voting, but I'd be amazed if more then a handful of people would be turned away | As a liberal Democrat, I completely agree.

Smokeydubbs | Early in the count watch for a fastball up. Don't swing at breaking balls unless left up.
0-2, look fastball up but react to everything in the zone or close, contact swings are good. If it's a borderline pitch, wait for it to get deep, and foul it off.
2-0, 2-1, 3-1, look for high fastball again. But take everything you don't like. CPU always seems to use a high FB in these counts.
If you use the prediction system that I use, if you call the pitch and zone right, it pops up as the pitcher is winding up. At that point, I aim to lift it to my pull side. HR 70% of the time. And my RTTS guy has <60 power. The more pitches, the better a chance that they leave something up.
I'm assuming you have a good eye and timing. Both of those will come if you're new.
TL;dr: always guess fastball up, don't swing at off speed unless left up with less than 2 strikes. React to everything with two strikes but continue to guess fastball up. | Early in the count watch for a fastball up. Don't swing at breaking balls unless left up.

Requiem191 | Well the OP didn't say he thought the loot cave itself was amazing, but what it accomplished was. You could regularly go to the loot cave, bump into random people like bungie always intended for you to, and then do something. Sure, that something was a cheesy way to gather engrams, but it was still having an effect that the game hasn't seen since the removal of the loot cave.
The OP even made the point that if you your understanding take the idea of the loot cave, the end result of it and its social implications, then made some sort of event or zone or what have you based on that idea, then you could have an amazing thing on your hands. It's great that we have random public events, sure, but those aren't reliable the way the loot cave was. Imagine being able to run to some pit on Mars or Venus and killing a big group of enemies or a single big monster, with no matchmaking or lfg required. You get the excitement of bumping into randoms, the guarantee of engrams, and none of the hassle of finding a group. You just went to the loot cave, so it would be the same here.
Anyways, I rambled. tl;dr loot cave wasn't good, but the idea of the loot cave was. Build on that idea, make something excellent. | Well the OP didn't say he thought the loot cave itself was amazing, but what it accomplished was.

"Genuinely try to help someone who is looking for a new laptop rather than throwing down the first thing that comes to mind"
If someone comes here asking for a laptop to run a mission critical server for a startup that is going to see 100,000s users, it is disingenuous to recommend a laptop when they clearly need a server.
OP wants a gaming laptop. My advice is not to get a laptop for gaming (unless you just want to play flashgames), as it is too expensive for what you get, and since OP is a student, my advice likely aligns with OPs budget.
OP further elaborates that mobility is a concern. There are PC form factors ( that are mobile, while still offering desktop performance at a fraction of the cost of a gaming laptop.

rewboss | > Why was everyone already prepping for war?
Up until the end of the 19th century, war was seen as being kind of honourable: various people dressed up in fancy uniforms, marched around other people's countries, and from time to time a few hundred of them took up positions opposite each other in a field somewhere and tried not to die. It was, basically, how things were done.
But it was still tiresome, so the European nations came up with a simple plan to make war impossible: a huge and complicated system of diplomatic relations created a "balance of power": basically, and ELI5ing it considerably, the nations formed two huge blocs, with Britain, France and Russia on one side and Germany, Italy and Austro-Hungary on the other; each side knew that the other would be able to stop an attack (and launch a counter-attack). In the immortal words of Blackadder, the tiny flaw in the plan was that "it was bollocks."
It turns out, having a balance of power like this involves vast militaries armed to the teeth -- you can't have a credible threat of violence if you have no means of actually using violence. But equally, what's the point of a vast, expensive military if you never deploy it? All those soldiers -- more to the point, all those generals -- sitting around with nothing to do, but lots of ideas of what they could do.
So the assassination of an Austrian archduke by a Serbian terrorist led to Austrians whipping up popular sentiment against Serbs, which led to Austria making demands that Serbia (an ally of Russia) would never be able to accept (the typical bully tactic: provoke the victim into throwing the first punch), which led to Serbia accepting all but one of the demands, which led to Austro-Hungary declaring war against Serbia anyway, which led to Russia declaring war against Austro-Hungary and, just in case, mobilizing troops against Germany, which led to Germany declaring war against Russia and telling the French to back off, which led to France sort of backing off but not really, which led to Germany declaring war against France, but Belgium refused to allow German troops to march through Belgium, which led to Germany declaring war on Belgium which led to Britain (a friend of Belgium) declaring war on Germany.
Or, for the TL;DR version: the whole balance of power went down like dominoes, because when country A declared war on country B, country C had to declare war on country A.
So they were prepping for war because:
* they had old-fashioned notions about war;
* the balance of power meant they all had to have large militaries, and so an arms race developed. | > Why was everyone already prepping for war?

PlaysForDays | > the people who have these conditions and really, truly, honestly don't eat that much or that unhealthily, but they're still obese.
But they are eating too much. Some conditions drastically affect the energy efficiency of digestion. The 2500 or so calories estimate that works for most people, who have roughly 20% efficiency in terms of getting energy out of their food. Some people, out of the same food, get more or less energy out of their food. So what may be a 1000 calorie sandwich for me could be hundreds more or less to others with medical conditions.

BlackMead | So this is such a massive question that its really even hard to start on.
First things first, a credit card is a card that is basically an acceptance of the credit agreement which says that the credit card company will pay for whatever it is that you are buying now. In return, you will pay them back later with interest. Some cards have an introductory period of 0%, and most will give you a "grace period" where you don't have any interest charged on the purchase (usually only the billing cycle) but you will HAVE to pay them back eventually.
If you buy something on a credit card, its not "free money" it is you borrowing from "tomorrow's money," getting today what you might have had to save up for to buy. The best way to beat them at their own game though is to never spend more on your credit card then you can pay back that billing period.
E.G. if you make $1000 a month, don't buy anything or spend more than $1000 that month on your card or you will not pay off your card and will be charged interest on the balance.
Building a credit score is simply a matter of having a monthly bill (it doesn't have to be a credit card necessarily) and paying it every month. Missing a payment or not paying the bills will give negative marks, and paying on time and paying off debt will give positive marks. It does take time to build a credit score though and you shouldn't expect a 750-800 FICO score after a few months. Having negative marks on accounts though can really hurt credit scores so even if you can't pay off a debt, keeping up with the minimum payments will at least help build your credit.
Minimum payments will end up in you paying WAY more than what it would have cost just paying cash up front so be careful about spending more than you can pay off.
TL:DR - Credit cards are basically mini loans that need to be paid off eventually and are NOT "free money." Pay off your credit card every month to avoid interest charges and paying off bills on time and in full over time will build your credit score. | So this is such a massive question that its really even hard to start on.
First things first, a credit card is a card that is basically an acceptance of the credit agreement which says that the credit card company will pay for whatever it is that you are buying now. In return, you will pay them back later with interest. Some cards have an introductory period of 0%, and most will give you a "grace period" where you don't have any interest charged on the purchase (usually only the billing cycle) but you will HAVE to pay them back eventually.
If you buy something on a credit card, its not "free money" it is you borrowing from "tomorrow's money," getting today what you might have had to save up for to buy. The best way to beat them at their own game though is to never spend more on your credit card then you can pay back that billing period.
E.G. if you make $1000 a month, don't buy anything or spend more than $1000 that month on your card or you will not pay off your card and will be charged interest on the balance.
Building a credit score is simply a matter of having a monthly bill (it doesn't have to be a credit card necessarily) and paying it every month. Missing a payment or not paying the bills will give negative marks, and paying on time and paying off debt will give positive marks. It does take time to build a credit score though and you shouldn't expect a 750-800 FICO score after a few months. Having negative marks on accounts though can really hurt credit scores so even if you can't pay off a debt, keeping up with the minimum payments will at least help build your credit.
Minimum payments will end up in you paying WAY more than what it would have cost just paying cash up front so be careful about spending more than you can pay off.

Comokan | I personally have a lot of debt and I'm following some of Dave Ramsey's baby steps to pay these off. Starting off with his plan, I was completely averse to credit cards, however I've changed my opinion regarding them. I began to use a GREAT budgeting software called YNAB (You Need a Budget) (watch for Steam sales), and after taking their free classes (I highly recommend), I saw how you can leverage credit cards, get their rewards, and never pay anything in interest.

alts_are_people_too | SJWism is a bastardization of Marxist thought. Marxism focuses on class, which is far and above the single biggest predictor of actual privilege (race may be a predictor of privilege, but it's more accurate to say that race is a predictor of *class*).

hvnaaa | Hi, I'm going to try and help you out here by being as direct as possible because I know exactly what it's like to be in your shoes. I've been in an LDR for about a year now and lemme tell you it does get tough.
>So do you guys think it's actually time for a short break to just figure stuff out?
It seems as though it's really not your decision about the break and it's happening no matter what because of her tech being taken away. Honestly that's also your decision. It's how you feel yourself. Do you get bored speaking to her/lie to get more time alone/avoid her at times because you can't stand her? If yes to any, you may want to consider a short break to categorize your feelings.
>how do I approach the topic?
Directly. You don't want to hurt her so don't lash out, but coolly tell her you've been thinking about your life and where it's headed and how she may not necessarily be a part of your plan. Don't beat around the bush, this just leads to getting more feelings hurt than necessary.
> if she's ever going to tell her mom about who she's been talking to?
It all depends on what you're going to do. You shouldn't ask her to tell your mom, only to lead to you taking a break and then possibly breaking up with her. That's just cruel.
TL;DR: Be direct, find out what your feelings are, act upon them. LDRs suck and there's really nothing to do about it unless you have the time, commitment, and money. Good luck!

cmcg1227 | Hard truths here -
You probably haven't had sex in almost a month because your wife is fucking TIRED. She's tired of being a full time parent while you sleep in, play video games, etc.
Seriously consider the last time your wife got to sleep in - let me guess, it was before your son was born right? You might think that you do your "fair share" but you probably don't. Does your wife have to ask you to do things around the house? Really try doing things *before* she has to ask you to. Just clean the bathroom one day. Just do it. Do some laundry. In fact, with three people, including a toddler, you could probably do one load of laundry every day. Maybe make that your job. When you wake up in the morning, throw a load of laundry in the washer. When you get home from work, put it in the dryer. Fold it and put it away. Every day.
And I don't know what to say about "she almost always has the baby in her arms" I mean...where else is the baby supposed to be? How about you start saying, hey, I'll take our son for a while, why don't you go relax. Even better, take your son out of the house for a while. I'm sure this adds to the "no sex" thing because she's touched-out from taking care of your son all the time and dealing with a toddler all day. You can't know that she will refuse you if you don't say something to her?
TL;DR - Take some initiative as a parent and husband. | Hard truths here -

simiange | I think I might be the altenate to your view. I have raided my fair share and really enjoyed a lot of it, but all the down time gets on my nerves. I like hectic shooting, this is an FPS afterall. Plus the repeated wipes, doing literally the same thing over and over (crystal room!). Add in that you don't get XP, glimmer, bounties etc, it can really feel like dead time- at least in Destiny terms, which is really all about getting the most productivity for your time. When you spend an hour doing a couple of raids and only get a handfull of shards, that sucks, a real waste of time! In my raid team the rest of the guys seem to have all the time in the world to do the Destiny basics, like amassing mats, doing bounties etc. I get new guns/ stuff all the time, but I'm so time poor it just sits in my accounts if I have a lot of raid runs. I got my first Ghorn a week ago, it's not even upgrated yet! Would love to do so, or (shock horror) even use the thing eventually. Or when I am able to put xp into stuff I **never** have any glimmer to do anything with it. I took my ps4 to a mates the other day and showed him my inventory, it's full of loads and loads of good stuff, all sat there waiting to be upgraded and used. He's unemployed so has about a billion glimmer and energies etc.
End of rant!

TheTartanDervish | Just food for thought here - there may be a disability problem that prevents her cooking.

georgedengit | What good comes out of them giving you an update? If it gets delayed all you are going to do is bitch at them. If they hype it up you're going to bitch at them for not doing this or doing that. And if you don't bitch at them somebody else will. I'm pretty sure you noticed lately riot doesn't give any heads up to anything until it is almost done, aka at most several weeks in advanced. Riot has slowly learned from the past that telling people way too early do nothing but create disappointment and backlash (remember magma chamber?). So I don't blame them for not saying anything.
With that being said, I personally think it will be a feature that riot has dropped or maybe put on hiatus indefinitely. I say that cuz it's not that important of a feature. Sure you see it being brought up on reddit but the reddit player base is pretty much tiny compared to the entire league player base and I'm pretty sure they did polls and found that not enough people cared enough for it. Most of us just wants to play the damn game and they're probably working on other things to improve the player experience (I actually visited their hq and saw some pretty cool projects that go towards this goal that isn't just skins or champions). Plus there are 3rd party tools to let you do replays already.
Tl;dr. Riot will probably never update us on anything unless it's pretty much finished. If you see a post on replay system it will probably be deployed in a few weeks but I doubt they're working on it cuz of the other projects that they are working on that could benefit a more general player base. | What good comes out of them giving you an update?

If you see a post on replay system it will probably be deployed in a few weeks but I doubt they're working on it cuz of the other projects that they are working on that could benefit a more general player base. |
Isogash | As I've sad elsewhere, bandwidth is almost never an issue for datacentres. Unlike storage, which expands with time, bandwidth remains constant. Sending data through a cable doesn't cost money, but the cable does. In comparison to storage, bandwidth is incredibly cheap and only needs to be paid for once, with some small maintenance costs.
tl;dr; Riot only has to pay for bigger cables once. | As I've sad elsewhere, bandwidth is almost never an issue for datacentres. Unlike storage, which expands with time, bandwidth remains constant.

OrthodoxAtheist | Yes. Well, mostly someone else's favor that I care deeply for, but still yes. A dear friend finally admitted why they had been acting strange, nervous, stressed, and crying mostly out of sight but finally in sight. They needed to come up with $3,500 within two days or they could face criminal conviction and career ruin. Despite having near no debt at the time, and reasonable credit, that kind of money was unavailable to me in that span of time. So I called the company that was always on TV offering outrageous loans, and I got the required money deposited in my account that next day at a 99% interest rate. I withdrew the cash my friend required and saved them from any negative effects. Saved their day and arguably their bacon.
I then, with more time on my hands, went to another lending institution and got an unsecured personal loan for the same amount at about a 16% interest rate. A week later I had the funds, paid off the ridiculous loan, and then within about four months paid of the more reasonable loan.
They are still very dear to me, and I don't regret any of my actions. Payday loans can solve emergencies, you just have to be diligent (and not unlucky) for them not to make matters worse. :)
tl;dr got payday loan, saved friend big time, got better loan, paid of payday loan, paid of better loan. Smiles all around. Phew! | Yes.

acydetchx | That's why we need good teachers. Unfortunately, in the U.S, the teaching profession is just not attractive to smart, young people. I have a license to teach and the draw is just gone. The pay is terrible, but it always has been; but now the job security and related benefits are not there anymore. It's ridiculously tough to get tenure and it's getting even worse and all the juicy retirement benefits teachers have been getting forever are being taken away. So there's that, which actually for some people wouldn't deter them because they get to teach a subject they love. Except now with No Child Left Behind everyone has to teach to the test so there's really not even any joy in it anymore. Full time positions are also extremely hard to find now, so you're likely to be subbing in a horrible school with no budget for supplies--oh, there's another thing, teachers often have to pay out of their pockets for supplies. It's just not attractive anymore at all. And don't go with the "summers off, short days, lots of vacation" stuff. For one, teachers actually get a 10-month salary that is spread over 12 months (hence the horrible pay.) They do not have short days as after school time is spent grading and creating lessons--we're talking about the good teachers here--which actually gives them a much longer day than most people. Same thing holds true for all those vacation days. I'm not trying to whine and say how terrible things are for teachers--the people there already have the security in tenure and better pay and better assignments; the problem is there no draw for new people to become teachers, so the quality will decline.
Tl;dr: You get what you pay for and we're spending bargain bin prices on our teachers. | That's why we need good teachers.

well_golly | My grandmother (who was born in the auspicious year 1900) was told long ago that if men and women swim in a pool together, the women can get pregnant.
I think it may have been a rumor started to discourage pools from allowing women and men to swim together. Plus the general public didn't science very hard back then. But the rumor may have been slightly accurate in an indirect way: All those oppressed turn of the century people in a pool together, suddenly a man catches a glimpse of exposed ankle - and BAM - next thing you know they're off somewhere fucking.

teaqualizer | The word your probably thinking of is "juxtaposition". In terms of music this can be very effective but your example of the film with the party scene is a good starting point for the difference between diagetic and non-diagetic music. Non diagetic music is the score over the top that's there solely for the enhancement of the viewer's experience of the film. Diagetic music is music that is actually part of the world of the film that in theory the characters can hear. The use of diagetic music is where you most often see examples of musical juxtaposition.
A good film to consider with this is The Cabin In the Woods: (some spoilers ahead). In the scene where the "virgin" is being murdered on the dock the camera pans back to eventually become a monitor back in the facility where the crew are celebrating with loud rock music blaring. We still see her fighting for her life but it's juxtaposed against the music and the celebrations of the crew. Although it does accurately portray the emotions of the crew the affect on the viewer is to increase the sense of horror at the plight of the girl. I'm sure there are many examples of non diagetic music juxtaposed with the action on screen. Fight at the start of Watchmen with "unforgettable" playing. Mutilation scene in reservoir dogs with "stuck in the middle with you" playing.
Examples of musical juxtaposition using *non diagetic* music is tough to come by but does happen. Films with sound tracks rather than scores tend to do this more. Danny Boyle's trainspotting had some good examples. The scene with the worst toilet in Scotland had a jaunty piece of classical music over the top. But a really good example is in the closing scene (spoilers ahead). In the final scene mark decides to steal the money out from under Begbys arm while he's asleep. Considering what a vicious bastard begby is mark would obviously be very nervous taking the money off him. But the use of the born slippy track from underworld in this scene neutralises any suggestion of nerves during what could have been a very tense moment for mark and the viewer. This is deliberate by Danny Boyle as the focus isn't on whether or not mark will be caught but more on his decision to move forward with his life and the exhilaration he feels at that prospect. Also see the final scene of shallow grave where (spoilers ahead) the big Andy Williams song is heard over the montage of bodies been wheeled out of the flat and the female character freaking out at the airport. The montage finishes with a flashback showing all the characters laughing hysterically as the friends with the now contextually melancholy andy williams track still blaring. It's creates a visceral emotional response using music that would probably be considered uplifting outside of the context of the film.

Walkemb | I'm not entirely sure what the source is so I hope someone will correct me. I believe it's the Daemon Codex that references a silver soldier slicing their way through the realms of the warp and making their way to Slanesh (I think) only to finally succumb and bend the knee.

hennel | What he means is they're far more easily manipulated by social brainwashing tactics compared to men, because of their greater need to fit in socially.
Men are more logical thinkers, women are more emotional ones. If you bombard a society with this jewish cultural Marxist propaganda, women will be the first ones to believe it's true. The brainwashing makes it seem like everyone is doing it, and she should too.
It's the same reason the "once you go black you don't go back" myth persists, despite almost every statistic showing that relationships with black men are overwhelmingly negative for the white female involved. There is a reason white women in interracial relationships with blacks have a higher rate of depression than any other heterosexual pairings.
By contrast, no matter how much propaganda you throw at men you can't get them to find sheboons attractive.
Cultural brainwashing tells them that black men are "cool" socially and white men are not. The jewish controlled media tells these women what is and isn't socially acceptable and sought after.
Being "socially adept" also means they're more likely to go against objective evidence in order to fit in with the group. It's an emotional conclusion that ignores facts and evidence otherwise.
Men are much more likely to focus on logical conclusions that have their basis in evidence rather than emotional ones, irrelevant of what society is trying to push.
**tl;dr** women feel a greater need to fit in. The Jewish propaganda machine exploits that social need to fit in in order to push this shit on them. It manipulates them into believing that these types of relationships are preferred. For that reason, women are retarded when it comes to making logical social decisions. They're more likely to make emotional ones, or ones that go along with groupthink, even if the evidence is staring them in the face. | What he means is they're far more easily manipulated by social brainwashing tactics compared to men, because of their greater need to fit in socially.

Pocahontas_Spaceman | Obviously conventional/traditional agriculture uses FAR more, but outdoor/greenhouse cannabis operation do indeed rely upon *a lot* of water. In California, you can get several pounds per plant, and in the hot summer those plants can take, on average *several* gallons a day depending on the set up. A large cannabis plant respirates several gallons (at least) just through it's leaves in a typical 24 hour cycle, not to mention normal evaporation from soil, etc. this is compounded when many growers grow in large, black, above ground pots.
tl:dr: compared to modern agriculture, it's a drop in the bucket, but commercial outdoor cannabis operations can use a lot of water, too.
~source, have stood there with a hose for many, many summers.

googly_glop | Honestly sitting down and one by one thinking of all the people in my life and making myself think of reasons I am thankful to have them in my life. Then I thought about all the things they struggle with and made a plan to try to positively support them, even if all I could do was to ask them how they were doing.
It was really hard to keep this up, I would spend five minutes or so on each person. In all it would take an hour or more a night. However after a couple weeks a change suddenly occured. Usually when I would drive home from work I would reflect on how much I hated my job and the lack of any purpose or meaning to my life. Then I would fantasize crashing my car or other ways of ending it all. However on this day I remembered how much of a wreck our house was and that it was my roomate/brothers turn to clean the house. I thought of how much of a relief it would be for him to come home to a clean apartment. So instead of getting down on how much my life sucked I tried to make his better. I continued to try to make this a habit, and although not everyone who I helped was always verbally thankful, I made it my mission to lift them up anyways. One day my sister made a comment to me of how much my calls meant to her, and how much of a difference I made during a very lonely point in her life. It was hard for me to believe anyone wanted me around or that I made any sort of difference for people. But this time when she told me, somehow it broke through.
Life isn't perfect now, I still get depressed occassionally or think of suicide every once and a while. However none of it has the same level of hoplessness or despair that it used to, and that is a real blessing.
TLDR Wanted to end it all because my life was meaningless. Realized that everyone has emptiness in their lives and that i could be a positive force in other people's lives. Life wasn't meaningless, my focus was the problem.

Then I would fantasize crashing my car or other ways of ending it all. However on this day I remembered how much of a wreck our house was and that it was my roomate/brothers turn to clean the house. I thought of how much of a relief it would be for him to come home to a clean apartment. So instead of getting down on how much my life sucked I tried to make his better. I continued to try to make this a habit, and although not everyone who I helped was always verbally thankful, I made it my mission to lift them up anyways. One day my sister made a comment to me of how much my calls meant to her, and how much of a difference I made during a very lonely point in her life. It was hard for me to believe anyone wanted me around or that I made any sort of difference for people. But this time when she told me, somehow it broke through.
Life isn't perfect now, I still get depressed occassionally or think of suicide every once and a while. However none of it has the same level of hoplessness or despair that it used to, and that is a real blessing.
TLDR Wanted to end it all because my life was meaningless. Realized that everyone has emptiness in their lives and that i could be a positive force in other people's lives. Life wasn't meaningless, my focus was the problem.

Then I thought about all the things they struggle with and made a plan to try to positively support them, even if all I could do was to ask them how they were doing.

Xericore | M26E1, goddamn this tank is odin himself. Packs one hell of a punch with the M82 "Apocalypse round". Looks like a beast, drives decent. somewhat workable armour, nothing to fully trust on though. it fits perfectly at its 6.3 battle rating. it can pen everything it faces. even IS-3s with some degree of luck. but that is if you even meet the IS-3.

TwigOnAStick | Mario's a bastard in this game. Out of the 4 really good people I play with often, 3 of them main him.
He has all the tools in this game: projectiles, cape, FLUDD, an upB with a hitbox that can kill when used right, a lot of lagless aerials, low lag in general, a fast grab that combos, and HOLY SHIT THE COMBOS. Seriously, fuck down throw into infinite uptilt. Back air is fast, nearly lagless, and kills. Forward smash is quick and pretty hard to punish for a smash attack. Down smash rivals Meta Knight's for speed, Up Smash makes his head invincible and kills well. And he has a meteor. Down air has a hitbox when he lands, cuz fuck punishing aerials I guess.
There are two (and a half) things that hold Mario back from being number 1: his recovery is mediocre, and besides fireballs, he doesn't have great range (and his moves aren't super-high with priority. They aren't Marth or Fox priority, but they're up there). His only option for recovering is to recover low, unless he was launched high offstage, then he's got all the options in the world. I usually go for a stage spike because 9 times out of 10, a mario will go for a magnet-hands ledge grab from up B, and the hit box doesn't cover his butt. But upB is really fast so the timing is super tight.
Out prioritizing him is a possibility. I can usually keep Mario away as Bowser with short-hopped forward airs, back airs, and fire. But that's really Bowser's only option on him. You can punish shit, so forward smash is useless, and once Mario gets in on you, he's almost guaranteed a free 30-70%.
So yeah, unfortunately Mario doesn't really have any exploitable weaknesses. His strengths are numerous and potent and his weaknesses are small and sparse. I can only beat a really good Mario when I'm playing my best.
End rant.
tl;dr: gimp/stage spike him, space him out but watch out for fireballs. He's like a Sheik with a cape who kills earlier. | Mario's a bastard in this game. Out of the 4 really good people I play with often, 3 of them main him.

databeast | yep, that's what I'm hoping to see as well. My suspicions are that this season has been about establishing Barry's moral compass first (last Tuesday's episode certainly hammered that home), after this season's finale, I think we're gonna see a more confident Barry, who's no longer angsting over things he cannot change. But the work done this season means that transition can happen without him just coming off as Wally West levels of jackass.
Tl;Dr I'm expecting far-less-emo Barry to emerge, and more of the Barry that Batman described like this: "Barry is the kind of man that I would've hoped to become if my parents hadn't been murdered." | yep, that's what I'm hoping to see as well.

DKDNZ | Comics Flash is insanely fast, like faster than light fast, in the TV Show he runs like 1000 km/h right?
This is kinda cool because you can see him going faster and faster everytime, plus it wouldnt being that awesome if he would run like
3.00×10^8 m/s against a dude who shoots 300 km/h arrows.
Even Cisco made a joke about that.

If you do some math that means that he ran 9,400,000 million times the speed of light.

jaweeks | I receive assistance, I changed my habits once this started. I don't carry cash, I don't buy beer, I don't buy name brand foods, etc.. I try to maximize what is provided for me. When it runs out i'll change more habits to accommodate. I however am not who laws and rules like this are aimed at. They want to make sure their welfare funds aren't being wasted on drugs, and gold plated iPhones, 70" LCD TVs and Xbox ones and gold live subscriptions with new games weekly, at the states expense.
How about a two level system. I confirm I'm not wasting funds by way of audits and testing and I get unfettered access to my funds. I refuse these audits and I'm restricted to these odd rules. That way they have sufficient access to their funds and we limit drug usage within the welfare community?
As for rent, I could see as part of my assistance, receiving a state issued check for x amount of my rent or all, of my rent issued in my landlords name and remove that amount from my assistance. This way, there is a trail, No bounces, and some guarantee that rents get paid. Maybe they just pay the rent directly, and take that off my to do list. The landlord would just have to agree to be audited as to the condition of this guaranteed check. The only thing to watch for there would be bloated rents with kickbacks to residents for getting them that fat guaranteed paycheck. But even then the standard of living is increased and somewhat guaranteed.
If you want support from your community, I feel that its only right that they expect I not waste it, and that I actually need it. If I don't want the state meddling in what I buy, I better take extra ordinary steps to support myself. Once I'm earning my own money, they can go take a flying leap.
Tl;dr: I'm asking for free money I'm ok with some strings and restrictions, but when I'm earning my money buzz off. Oh, and an idea.

And within seconds her white knight troops and hug army are behind her tweeting at her giving her all the lovely reassurance, pity and attention that she obviously craves. Jesus. Filipinowhaleman immediately replying with the "you okay?" is so cringeworthy [](/FailFish)
What's even worse is how she still continues to be an attention and pity seeking whore in her replies, being vague and acting upset over something TERRIBLE = attention.

| Kappa | t5_2tjsd | crdmr9p | This is on par with 13 year olds on Facebook who constantly vaguebook and post woe-is-me related statuses to garner pity and attention and to create drama over nothing
Her idiotic thought process in a nutshell:
"Oh I never had to go to a police station before but now I did and I'm going to write a really vague tweet about it (without going into detail because the less detail I give and the more vague I am, the more serious and victimising it will look, even though it's not! = more attention )!"
And within seconds her white knight troops and hug army are behind her tweeting at her giving her all the lovely reassurance, pity and attention that she obviously craves. Jesus. Filipinowhaleman immediately replying with the "you okay?" is so cringeworthy
What's even worse is how she still continues to be an attention and pity seeking whore in her replies, being vague and acting upset over something TERRIBLE = attention. | Sherry is an attention and drama seeking bitch |
_Ace_from_Space_ | regarding what the article says about forza 6:
>If Forza 6 is to justify itself, it needs to be better than a game that released approximately 6 or so months earlier.
**Should it fail to be as technically impressive as Project CARS, it’ll be understandable**, but Turn 10 Studios needs to really kick it into high-gear (pun intended) if they want to compete.
>**For our money, Forza 6 needs to avoid the microtransaction debacle of Forza 5, something that needs to be brought up at E3, and needs to learn from Project CARS’ approach.**
>We want an entirely open driver’s campaign, free to choose the events, cars or racing types we so choose in whatever order we want.
>We don’t want to have to grind to unlock cars. We want them from the outset.
So, talk about a really short-sighted article....
what forza 6 needs to learn from pcars, is to not hype itself to hell and back, especially when it falls on its face upon delivery.
microtransactions is still the internet troll of forza (lets count how much money one has to spend today in other racing games in dlc to reach +200 playable cars, that forza 5 shipped with ..18 months ago), and I guess the article writer probably failed to notice how career works in pcars, suggesting this approach for forza.
oh, and lets not forget that pcars has some dlc coming (I doubt its gonna be all free=microtransactions), *even before the game is patched to a working state.*
oh, and **about that forza 6 goal to be "as technically impressive as pcars on xbox", well, thats a good way to tell guy has never played even forza 5 for comparison.**
tl:dr
if you want to make SUGGESTIONS for a game, you better have some good experience with that particular game.
else, you come as very superficial, let alone wrong.

A_Pile_Of_cats | Are you me ? I grew up fatherless from a very young age. My mom remarried but that stepdad was hell. (yelling often, hitting me, sometimes with objects) and now I'm scared of bonding with anyone "fatherly" if that makes any sense. I'm 21 in 2 months and I'm not ready at all for the world. I'm very sheltered and spend a ton of time on games. I haven't thrown a party for any of my birthdays yet. I just pass it off as another day.
The motivation thing gets me the most. I can get excited about passing my assignments and deadlines but that quickly fades away. I can't get shit done at all. I don't think I'll ever make something out of this.

DubinJohnson | Just did some numbers at the /r/gifs post. Here's what I got:
Well, your average male ruby-throated hummingbird is 3.4 grams.
One cup of cubed, cooked chicken is about 150 grams, and there are 237 mL in one cup. If we assume that a compressed hummingbird and cooked chicken are roughly the same density, then one cup of average male ruby-throated hummingbirds is about 44 hummingbirds, and one average male hummingbird is 5.4 mL.
I can't calculated the water volume of your mouth, so I'll use mine. My mouth can hold...hold on...140 mL of water.
My hummingbird volume is technically 25.9, but since I can't fit a tenth of a hummingbird in my mouth, I'll have to round down. I can snugly fit 25 average male ruby-throated hummingbirds in my mouth.
My bodyweight in average male ruby-throated hummingbirds is 24,413.
*flaps hands*
tl;dr: my mouth's HV = 25.

DollarsAtStarNumber | Back in the 2011 Players wanted to keep their large share of Basketball-Related-Income (BRI) but the teams in the Smaller Markets complained that they were barely breaking even on profits the players ended up taking like a 52%-48% Split of BRI Which was a huge drop from the previous CBA which granted players about a 57%-43%
Then over the previous off-season, the NBA negotiated a massive $24 Billion Television Deal with ESPN/ABC and Turner through the 2024/2025 Season. To put that in Perspective that's about twice what the current MLB National Television Contract is with Fox and Turner which went into effect just last year.
Players are rather pissed about the massive deal which came out very quickly after the lockout and the NBPA can opt out of the current CBA after the 2016/2017 season. If a new CBA isn't negotiated then it's gonna be an even uglier lockout then the last.
TL;DR NBA Players got smaller paychecks after the 2011 Lockout, NBA Signs massive TV Deal, Players are mad and will probably lockout again in 2 years. | Back in the 2011 Players wanted to keep their large share of Basketball-Related-Income (BRI) but the teams in the Smaller Markets complained that they were barely breaking even on profits the players ended up taking like a 52%-48% Split of BRI Which was a huge drop from the previous CBA which granted players about a 57%-43%

Kal_Vas_Flam | It isn't people jumping to opportunity to explore some dormant racist instinct. 'Russians' aren't even a race as such.
Instead, it is people responding to recent changes in International playfield. Russia has stopped being legitimate Nation among others and started being a legitimate threat to peace and stability in Eastern Europe. Nobody (except Russians,most of whom are utterly under Putin's spell) really likes that. People search outlets to express their dislike. Some scandal and nasty remarks about hockey sounds among most harmless ways to do it.

TheDragon99 | This is a great approach. For me personally, I don't keybind 5 because it's too far away to easily hit. Then again, I do bind T which is arguably as far away, so to each his own.
Definitely start with the number keys. You'll notice small things, like that you probably don't want 2 to be bound to something you need to use a lot while moving (since you'll likely hit both 2 and W with the same key).
Q, E, R, F, and C are all pretty easy to hit. I'd bind these next.
After that, you can choose between shift modifiers or branching out to keys like X, Z, G, T, V.
Eventually, for most classes, you'll need all of these keys bound plus shift modifiers for them. For some classes you may need ctrl modifiers as well.
But TL;DR don't overwhelm yourself, start small. | This is a great approach. For me personally, I don't keybind 5 because it's too far away to easily hit. Then again, I do bind T which is arguably as far away, so to each his own.

muffinprincess13 | Korea didn't deserve a lot of things.
It didn't deserve to be occupied, but it was for (arguably) 35 years.
Korean women didn't deserve to be kidnapped, then beaten and raped daily, but they were. They also didn't deserve to be largely ignored for almost half a century, and they don't deserve to be continually ignored by the Japanese government, either.
Korea didn't deserve a civil war that made the already questionable legitimacy of the split solidified, and Korean families don't deserve to be seperated from each other because of political and financial obstacles, but they are.
Korea didn't deserve enviromental laws and human rights violated to get to be the significant cultural and industrial power that it is today, but it is.
Korea didn't deserve to become a puppet government of the US post WWII, but it was, and depending on your definition of "puppet government", Korea is still a puppet government of the US.
Korea didn't deserve to be locked into cultural isolation before the Japanese pretty much landed and said "yeah, this, all of this, is mine", but it was.
If the world was perfect then Chun Doo-Hwan would never have risen to power and killed people, but it isn't perfect. If the world was perfect Koreans wouldn't have had a reason to protest the corrupt and brutal regime at the time, but it isn't perfect.
We can discuss what should and should not have happened in the last 1,000 years of Korea's history, and of course I don't approve of all the deaths that happened, but Gwangju happened, and it was bad that it happened because people died, and good that it happened because it changed things for the better.
We are taught the broad strokes of history in school because its easier to digest, but history happens not because of a linear chain of events, but a collision of discoveries, philosophies, and disasters that forces people to move to accommodate their current situations. To relegate history's complexities to such simplistic terms, I feel, denotes a gross misunderstanding of the nature of history, and the nature of humanity.
**TL;DR** Korea went through A LOT to get where it is now. If the world was perfect then so much suffering would've been averted, but the world isn't perfect, and not every country is privileged to go through much less suffering to be where it is now.

stillbatting1000 | Well then...
I used to be *terribly* socially inept. I was called "creepy" to my face by several girls. I had no people skills, I was annoying, obnoxious, people would roll their eyes when I entered a room, and I was just the kind of guy no one wants around. And I had no idea. I was so inept I wasn't even aware of my ineptitude.
One day in college, I ended up smoking a couple bowls of weed for the first time. For some reason, the effect it had on me made me see myself in third person. It's like it calmed my mind down enough that I saw myself and how I sounded, looked, and acted in front of others. I finally understood myself how others perceive me. And I *hated* what I saw.
I can't even describe how angry I was with myself. I was so ashamed that I was in emotional agony. I mean, *I wanted to tear myself to shreds.* The next morning when I was sober, I realized that I had two options, and one was unacceptable (suicide, of course) and the other was going to take a lot of work. I made a commitment to change. I *had* to change. The shame forced it, there was no other option available.
I decided to listen more. I decided to shut up. Although shutting up was as much to avoid embarrassing myself as it was so that I could observe others better. I sat in the cafeteria, in class, etc. and just observed how other people interact. I practiced speaking in a normal tone, at a normal pace. I looked at myself in the mirror and observed my own body language. How I sat, how I stood, even my eyes when I looked at someone. The toughest part was trying to kill a part of myself, while simultaneously developing a whole new self.
After several months people began saying things like "What happened, what's changed? You're so different than you used to be!" And they always said it with a smile. I almost cried the first time a girl said that to me. It may not sound like it, but believe me, it was *work.* Now I have friends, go to parties, all that good stuff.
So, that's how I conquered and transformed myself.
TL;DR: I was extremely socially inept, smoked some weed which helped me realize I was an ass, decided to change, succeeded. | Well then...

I decided to listen more. I decided to shut up. Although shutting up was as much to avoid embarrassing myself as it was so that I could observe others better. I sat in the cafeteria, in class, etc. and just observed how other people interact. I practiced speaking in a normal tone, at a normal pace. I looked at myself in the mirror and observed my own body language. How I sat, how I stood, even my eyes when I looked at someone. The toughest part was trying to kill a part of myself, while simultaneously developing a whole new self.
After several months people began saying things like "What happened, what's changed? You're so different than you used to be!" And they always said it with a smile. I almost cried the first time a girl said that to me. It may not sound like it, but believe me, it was work. Now I have friends, go to parties, all that good stuff.
So, that's how I conquered and transformed myself.
TL;DR: I was extremely socially inept, smoked some weed which helped me realize I was an ass, decided to change, succeeded.
| AskReddit | t5_2qh1i | crdiq9k | Well then...
I used to be terribly socially inept. I was called "creepy" to my face by several girls. I had no people skills, I was annoying, obnoxious, people would roll their eyes when I entered a room, and I was just the kind of guy no one wants around. And I had no idea. I was so inept I wasn't even aware of my ineptitude.
One day in college, I ended up smoking a couple bowls of weed for the first time. For some reason, the effect it had on me made me see myself in third person. It's like it calmed my mind down enough that I saw myself and how I sounded, looked, and acted in front of others. I finally understood myself how others perceive me. And I hated what I saw.
I can't even describe how angry I was with myself. I was so ashamed that I was in emotional agony. I mean, I wanted to tear myself to shreds. The next morning when I was sober, I realized that I had two options, and one was unacceptable (suicide, of course) and the other was going to take a lot of work. I made a commitment to change.

boxotomy | This is an indirect inguinal hernia. It occurs when your intestines are pushed through the small, weak portion of your abdominal wall called the inguinal ring. It is called this because your testes descend from your internal abdominal cavity into your scrotum, bringing with them vessels that actually arise from the level of your kidney (true story). The tunnel they create is called your spermatic cord.
So, if you put some undue stress on your abdomen, your intestines will follow the path of least resistance, enter through the inguinal ring, tract down the spermatic cord, and settle painlessly in your scrotum like a hammock. Problems occur if they twist, if feces can't properly move through them, or if they impinge on activities of daily life.

Yes, 7.2 MAGNITUDE gets weaker away from the fault, what you're concerned about is the INTENSITY.
I've been quite frustrated about this the entire day because what the news outlets seem to emphasize is: IS YOUR HOUSE ON A FAULT LINE? Well yeah, it's bad if it is (it'll get split in 2 probably ~~and swallowed as an offering to satan~~), but it promotes the line of thinking that the farther you are from this fault, the SAFER you are. No no no no...
Want to know what you should be asking instead?
[Just check the wiki page on the 1990 Luzon Earthquake.](
Epicenter? Nueva Ecija. Most destroyed? BAGUIO. PANGASINAN. Distance from the epicenter? 100 KILOMETERS.
Why? Not familiar on the factors for Baguio, but Pangasinan is a low-lying bay, filled with loose sediment and water. Want a simulation? see what happens when you pour wet sand in a plastic bottle - taktakin mo sa lamesa, tingnan mo pano pumatag at pano umakyat ang tubig. Imaginin mo nasa tuktok nun bahay mo. Intense di ba?
Live in Marikina? Pandacan? Tondo? Old Manila? Yang mga lumang marsh na naging lumang palayan na naging subdivision jan sa Rizal? Reclaimed land na ang ilalim ay panambak lang jan sa Manila bay (*cough*MoA*cough*)? ANYWHERE WHERE ITS LOW-LYING, FLOODS OFTEN, HAS A NEARBY RIVER? Hope your building code's up to scratch because shit's gonna liquefact.
**Frankly, people (and you OP) should be asking: IS MY HOUSE ON A STURDY FOUNDATION, and more importantly, IS MY BUILDING SAFE/FOLLOWING BUILDING CODE?**
Also, that line should be seen as a ZONE, an APPROXIMATION, where several SMALLER FAULTS could lie underneath and could move as well. You could actually see it in some parts of the map where there are several ones that are parallel each other. [See this vid for what I'm talking about.]( Should have named a 500m buffer zone instead of that measly 5m, but hey, fault scarps give nice views lol.
If I recall correctly, parts of Quezon City (Katipunan) and Makati (BGC) would be relatively safer as these are built on TUFF (ie solidified ash/lahar, locally and mistakenly known as "adobe", ie parang cemento).
LAST OF MY GREATEST RANTS AND PET PEEVES
It's not WEST VALLEY FAULT FOR FUCKS SAKE IT'S THE MARIKINA VALLEY FAULT. Point out any other country in the world that name their fault as AMBIGUOUS AS THAT. Most relevant example in our field for the backwards politically-motivated thinking we have here in this country.
Anyway, hope I helped somehow in case I get killed by this tomorrow or the next 100 years. Don't be nervous OP, just prepare for an emergency and again, ask the people who built your building.

CalumLovelace | The thing I love about Eve, as a new player in a newbean corp (Pandemic Horde is recruiting :D), is that I'm not obligated to play any amount of time. I can spend 8 hours and never be bored, and then I can go afk for 2 weeks and nobody will care.
Definitely join a newbean corp. **Brave Newbies** will always, always have something for you to do and is massive enough to defend itself from the big boys. They're *huge*; they have the most members of any alliance, but a lot of those are newbies who decide the game isn't for them. But they still have thousands of capsuleers logging in every day. They *are* going through some, uh, growing pains though. You might want to read up on a recent coup that very nearly succeeded. It was fun to watch from the sidelines.
**Karmafleet** is kind of a feeder corp for Goonswarm, seeing the success of BNI, and is a part of the Imperium/CFC, the largest coalition in the game. (Coalition = a group of alliances that form a de facto group, like a space Holy Roman Empire. Alliances are groups of corporations, and corporations are just groups of players, like guilds from other games, in some ways)
**Dreddit** is a part of TEST which used to be massive but went through a period of massive loss, but now it's bounced back in a big way and is kicking plenty of ass. It does require an active reddit account, though.
**Pandemic Horde** is the newest and smallest, but it's backed by Pandemic Legion and WAFFLES, two very prestigious #elitepvp alliances that ousted Brave from the region of Catch, which Horde now calls home (to Brave's credit, they're now kicking Black Legion's ass, which many people consider only a little worse or even on par with PL). They also offer a program wherein newbeans can get mentored by members of PL.
For the most part, you'll join the corp, start a skillplan, and when you can fly the basic doctrine ship (for example, a tackle Merlin in Horde takes less than 24 hours to train) you can join fleets where questions and discussion is encouraged, and that's how you learn. Sometimes focused classes are also offered, [and sometimes they're recorded for public viewing even!]( There are other newbean corps like eve-uni, which offer a more structured instruction experience in a less dangerous environment of high or low sec (all the aforementioned corps are sov holding Nullsec corps), if that's more your jam.
Arbitrary skill gain (as in, not your own skill at the game, but your characters skill) is almost completely passive. You can make a character, only log in every couple weeks to update the skill queue for like 3 years, and be able to fly a titan. In that regard, Eve is minimal investment.
So yeah.
Of course, if you get super in to it, plenty of corps are a lot more demanding of you, which is satisfying in and of itself because it feels like you're making a big difference. Those are alliances like WAFFLES and PL, though, not Brave or PH or Karmafleet.

eyeeyecaptainfly | Related to fitness but on a different note - I'm a long-distance runner and swimmer, and I was pretty competitive on the amateur circuit amid the select group of oddball events I competed in. I used to swim 5K to 10K distance races and run up to 50-mile races. I lifted as well but just for cross training, not the serious stuff you ladies are discussing. Yes, I know my activity level was extreme; I've heard every comment imaginable from outsiders. But I have never had missed or lightened periods as a result. And yes, I backed off while TTC. But all the while, my own subconscious pressure that I "should be" relaxing or taking it easier or whatever has been killing me the last couple years. At first, backing off meant running "only" 10 miles and swimming only a mile at a time. Then I backed off much more drastically, just light 2-3 mile jogs and light lifting 2-3 x/week for about 7-8 months. I also cut out alcohol entirely for a couple months (I'm a daily beer drinker, not heavy, but 1 or 2 per day and my doc advised quitting). I have never in my life been pregnant, and those measures did nothing to change that. Now, having passed the 2-year mark at TTC I'm frustrated at lack of any results and I'm starting to say F it, and ramp back up my training a bit. I'm back to doing 10-milers and speed work. Not sure where I will go from here but I might even include a fall marathon or longish trail race. Mid 30s is the prime of athletic life for an amateur endurance athlete like myself, and the way I see it, one lifelong dream of parenthood is already slipping away, so it's tough to see the another one close to my heart get dragged down with it.
TL; DR I am so tempted to reclaim my athletic life. | Related to fitness but on a different note - I'm a long-distance runner and swimmer, and I was pretty competitive on the amateur circuit amid the select group of oddball events I competed in. I used to swim 5K to 10K distance races and run up to 50-mile races. I lifted as well but just for cross training, not the serious stuff you ladies are discussing. Yes, I know my activity level was extreme; I've heard every comment imaginable from outsiders. But I have never had missed or lightened periods as a result. And yes, I backed off while TTC. But all the while, my own subconscious pressure that I "should be" relaxing or taking it easier or whatever has been killing me the last couple years. At first, backing off meant running "only" 10 miles and swimming only a mile at a time. Then I backed off much more drastically, just light 2-3 mile jogs and light lifting 2-3 x/week for about 7-8 months. I also cut out alcohol entirely for a couple months (I'm a daily beer drinker, not heavy, but 1 or 2 per day and my doc advised quitting).

TwoThreeSkidoo | Eh, I don't care too much about what you say about the weapons in a negative sense...what's the point of a video if you don't give your opinion? Running the numbers doesn't give much info, since the DPS is pretty well balanced for most weapons in Nosgoth, everything really boils down to personal preference and play style.
If it were me, I would have said how awesome and fun the warbow is, how awesome, but kinda boring the swiftbow is, and how much the stormbow blows. But I also would have said that people seem to like the stormbow, so there is probably something good about it, I just don't see it. No commentary on the composite (compound) bow, cuz I never use it.
But fuck the PC "every weapon is good" bullshit. Why would I watch a video that just tells me every weapon is good?
TL;DR: People are butthurt about you shitting on the warbow, who cares? At least it's an opinion. | Eh, I don't care too much about what you say about the weapons in a negative sense...what's the point of a video if you don't give your opinion?

saninas_ | The last paragraph of the article really hit home for me, this line in particular; *"Where delayed gratification becomes a problem is when it is used as an excuse for life avoidance. Rather than allowing you to work toward something, it is keeping you from something."* I am still fairly young (24), and feel I have been making smart financial decisions these last 2 years that will really benefit me in reaching ER.
With my income level being where it is right now (31k) I think I had to make a choice between saving, or spending on things I'd like to do/have, but as my income increases I hope I do not get stuck in the mindset of saving over spending on life experiences.
What I mean by that is continue looking at my savings as a percentage of income saved, giving myself more money to work with as my income increases (currently around 50% going to savings now).
TLDR: I hope as income increases I find more of a balance, and do not get viewed as somebody avoiding life. | The last paragraph of the article really hit home for me, this line in particular; "Where delayed gratification becomes a problem is when it is used as an excuse for life avoidance.

_njd_ | iOS has a reference-counting mechanism, but still expects developers to deal with memory management, and in more detail than Java-based environments like Android, so iOS has potentially the same or worse memory management issues; iOS developers have to pay particular attention to when they borrow memory and when they release it back, otherwise they too can have memory leaks. Even with the iOS reference-counting system, it's still easy to screw up, but the development environment (Xcode) has analysis tools to help find any problems and Apple encourages everyone to use them.
With Java, you don't have to worry about releasing borrowed memory back to the system when you've finished with it – the garbage collector generally takes care of it for you – but that means it's easy to get sloppy and forget all about memory consumption altogether.
If your code is quite complicated, it's still possible to leave things hanging around that _appear_ to be still in use, because you didn't tidy up after yourself.
The garbage collector can usually work out what chunks of memory you still need, and which ones you don't need; but it won't touch anything that looks like it's still in use – just like a cautious office cleaner won't touch any bits of paper that you seem to be still using – so eventually you still get cluttered.
TL;DR – iOS demands more rigor when managing memory; Android and Java developers can usually get away with messier desks, but if they're too sloppy it results in chaos.

That's what I plan to do. Mind you I've been doing comedy for almost five years now. Just sick of not being in the in-crowd and not getting booked. The promotors in my scene blow chunks. They only book their friends, half of which suck and are only good for chaperoning the promoter/other comedians.

facsimile91 | +1 for the link.
I feel that with respect to the subcapital class that they are getting closer all the time... barring obvious exceptions like the pre-nerf T3Ds and the present Ishtar, which still just does too many things too well.
Some of the edge cases are particularly difficult to deal with though, like Linked+Snaked interceptors... or maybe the Linked+Snaked+Orthrus... Both of these cases have hard counters, however, in the form of the Rapier/Huginn/WebLoki and Maulus/Keres, respectively...
On the other hand, super-webs are a 'counter' to most-anything. Bonused dampeners are similarly powerful, provided you have a mobility advantage.
Long range neuts in concert with faction webs are another Interceptor counter, but those tend to be restricted to Battleships. Nonetheless, **big miker** has been putting on a Youtube clinic in terms of how Links+HG-Snakes+Faction Webs on a BS can do exceptional work against many traditionally problematic tangos.
MJD also offers an interesting potential metagame 'counter' or sorts to the Orthrus, but I don't think we've seen that one catch on to the extent that's possible yet. Maybe it needs some help in terms of improved fitting options for Battlecruisers. I don't know.
Getting back to your fundamental point, though, i.e. that CCP doesn't understand either the fundamentals of their own game or that they don't understand the fundamentals of "perfect imbalance"... I think their game is ripe with examples of "perfect imbalance", but I fear that at times the implementing devs, indeed, do **not** understand their own game's fundamentals and certainly not the complex interplay of those mechanics with player behaviour.
The T1 frigate balance and meta, barring perhaps the Tristan, is a great example, in my opinion of "perfect imbalance": there are speedy AB signature tanking brawlers; AB beacon camping brawlers; AB scram kiting brawlers; MWD longpointing kiters; MWD scram brawlers; and even AB speedy scramming kiter swingers. At present, due to factors like links and Garmurs, the metagame may be heavily skewed towards kiting, small blobs, and MWD scram brawlers... but there is still some variety in the system... and no one strategy will always be dominant.
Switching gears back to an example of the devs failing to understand the mechanics of their own game, I think that the first (proposed) balance pass of the tactical destroyers is one such example. This T3D rebalancing proposal was woefully inadequate. Thankfully, though, the players **do** seem to understand balance sufficiently, and a number of them seemed to be able to conceive of a vision of T3Ds that they could then also articulate to CCP Fozzie in a persuasive manner. In the end, Fozzie had the wisdom to heed their council and implement an improvement upon what had clearly become an oppressive meta alongside obvious power creep.
So, if there's a silver lining to the T3D story of devs not understanding their own game, it's that I think their most-recent T3D rebalance pass illustrates that there's still hope in the way things proceed moving forward... and that the current state isn't actually that bad... and could be a lot worse (and actually has been a lot worse).
**TLDR:**
**My opinion on the current state of subcapital class imbalance: It's actually pretty decent compared to where it's been.**
**To the question of Developers not understanding the mechanics of their own game? Ok, there are many examples here. Tough to argue with that one.**
**Eve not having many examples of "perfect imbalance" in action? I disagree and cite examples.** | +1 for the link.

VanillaThunderbolt | To emphasize what everyone has already said, you're certainly not alone. I get the same way but with different triggers, and not necessarily ending my life or thinking about that point.
I started seeing a psychologist almost a year ago and I will say it helps but overcoming the onset of those thoughts is the hardest part in my personal experience (still working on it actually).
TLDR; It's okay to feel that way and so many others can empathize with you, but it's great you're getting help, just be sure to stick to it! :) | To emphasize what everyone has already said, you're certainly not alone.

And yes you can make a custom os to a iphone, but it's hard because you don't have drivers and others closed binary blobs needed to make it work properly.

Thorneurism | I was at a stag in Vegas and we went to some nightclub at the Wynn. None of us had been to Vegas before so we wanted to make the most of it and got bottle service. There were 12 guys in total. As the night went on and we became more and more wasted, our numbers started dwindling. I remember the moment I realized I was by myself and went back to our table and nobody was there. I started wandering around to see if I could find anybody from the stag. I ran in to one of my good buddies who was also wandering around trying to find somebody he knew and so we did one more loop around and ended up finding one other buddy in the outside part hanging out with some random people. It was like 3am by this time.
We all had to hold eachother up while we walked outside to get a cab back to the hardrock and then we stumbled around the casino when we got back for a bit until we decided we were going to go wake the groom to be up and find out what happened to him. We head up to the 14th floor (I don't recall the actual floors) and by this time it was 4am. We get to our buddies room and bang on the door until it opens a crack and we ram our way in to the room. I went and immediately sat on the couch and my 2 other buddies stood at the entrance. I start looking around the room and I hear a terrified man say "what the fuck are you doing here!?" Naturally we started asking this guy why the hell he was in Justin's room and what the hell has happened to him. The poor guy is shaking and replies "who the fuck is Kyle!?" It was that point we realized we were on the wrong floor and this was not Justin's room. We are all super friendly drunks from Canada and immediately start apologizing profusely for the mix up. I told the guy I am so sorry we must have the wrong room and he replies "you're fuckin rights you have the wrong room, are you going to at least stay for a drink?!" He then pulls out a boot Mickey from his mini bar but is shaking so bad he drops it and it smashes on the floor. We took that opportunity to run like hell out of there.
TL:DR - went to Vegas for stag, got obliterated, got separated as the night went on, found 2 of 12 of my buddies we went with, the 3 of us kick in a strangers door at 4am as he is opening it and Rush in to his room, man is terrified, we accuse him of being in our buddies room, he asks if we will stay for drink and drops/breaks bottle from shaking, we run like hell. Good times | I was at a stag in Vegas and we went to some nightclub at the Wynn. None of us had been to Vegas before so we wanted to make the most of it and got bottle service. There were 12 guys in total. As the night went on and we became more and more wasted, our numbers started dwindling. I remember the moment I realized I was by myself and went back to our table and nobody was there. I started wandering around to see if I could find anybody from the stag. I ran in to one of my good buddies who was also wandering around trying to find somebody he knew and so we did one more loop around and ended up finding one other buddy in the outside part hanging out with some random people. It was like 3am by this time.
We all had to hold eachother up while we walked outside to get a cab back to the hardrock and then we stumbled around the casino when we got back for a bit until we decided we were going to go wake the groom to be up and find out what happened to him.

Jope-Ga | Smaller areas tend to deal with heroine as a health issue because a small number of people in a small community can have a massive impact. You don't have the gang affiliations of larger cities in rural areas either so the family/community can help guide people to make better life decisions. With that said I have some experience with local heroine problems....
In my town of 7,000 people for example I've had the same 20 year old neighbor kid steal scrap from my garage then several months later steal an old GPS from my wife's car. During the first round of court BS I had to deal with I worked with the police to see to it that he continued to get help, stay off drugs, and start gaining weight back. His family was involved during the court hearings and it was nice that we could as neighbors deal with his problems properly. I agreed to a suspended sentence due to all the arrests that came from him turning on his friends/dealers. In a small town like mine it's easy to show empathy to people's problems because it has such a huge impact on the community.
About a month ago he got arrested while breaking into his friends house to steal electronics. When the cops arrested him they found out he had been walking around town with a spark plug popping windows and stealing anything he could sell for heroine. My wife's car was unlocked so he rifled through it and stole the GPS without us even knowing. The cops called me to let me know the GPS had our home address in it which is how they knew it was mine. At this point I'm not giving the kid any leeway and I've already agreed to un-suspending his original sentence on top of the charges I've added to his B&E and destruction of property for all the busted car windows.
TL;DR: Rural communities show more empathy to drug problems because the lack of gangs and want to help the community stay healthy. Steal scrap from me once and I feel remorse for the bad actions of a underage kid who needs help. Steal from me twice and I'll see you in jail for everything that's happened. | Smaller areas tend to deal with heroine as a health issue because a small number of people in a small community can have a massive impact.

First of all, black face is racist because of where it comes from. It was used by white actors to entertain other white people with humiliating stereotypes of black people. Cosplaying is nothing like that.
If an Asian dressed up like Batman, would you call him racist? No, because that's retarded.
Hell, I actually prefer Asian cosplayers as well, but let the westerners have their fun. They're anime fans just like anyone else. Them dressing up as a character doesn't hurt anyone.

ajwhite98 | I loved it. You'll never hear it on this sub, but it had the blood and glory of 300, with the theme of freedom and sacrifice, etc. And it was so fun to watch. It was basically 300, with different characters, and on boats. People thought the acting wasn't as good as the first- yeah, kinda. I thought Stapleton and Green did a great job, though. My biggest gripe with the movie is the historical inaccuracies, but that's more on Frank Miller than it is on Noam Murro, just like the first one.
Tl;Dr: If you legitimately liked 300 beyond just the blood and guts, you'll like Rise of an Empire. | I loved it.

IsTheNewBlack | Chapters with a commitment to productive, meaningful pledging have most, if not all, of these things in place. University offices that deal with Greek life know they exist, but typically turn a bling eye unless the chapter is found in violation of something that could be bad PR. If they wanted to, most universities could call for an end to Greek life and would have the support of a majority of the faculty and student body. However, these schools won't shut down Greek life for various reasons. Instead, chapters only go down if their "hazing" is exposed to the public, in which case they use literally every violation as evidence against the chapter, perpetuating this whole "greek life is terrible" BS simply because its easier to have a group of 20-somethings take the fall, instead of the university properly addressing larger problems with the campus (but I digress).
TL;DR: Your school probably knows about the stuff you do, but will only use it against you if they have to. Just don't be stupid. | Chapters with a commitment to productive, meaningful pledging have most, if not all, of these things in place.

VorpalNorman | Exp Share is our one defense against trolls who will try to block evolutions and lead us to the PC. Because of the Exp Share, evolutions happen at more random times, and also because of the Exp Share, our weakest mons won't languish at pitiful levels until enough people are like "PC TIME BORT" and trick the stream into a swath of releases. IIRC, "Release" and "Yes" have the same touchscreen coordinates once we have any mons selected in the PC screen.
The Exp Share isn't the main reason our G6 runs were so short. G6 being easy mode is the reason our G6 runs were so short. If they randomize all the gift pokemon G6 hands out, that ought to hopefully nerf our ability to have super powerful mons in our party with no effort.
We can turn the Exp Share off if we really need to, but we probably will leave it on. Why? Because the majority of us WANT it on. If making the runs longer means padding it out with endless grinding and PC shuffles, then we don't WANT it longer. Those are the boring bits that drop our viewer count.
**tl;dr: If you want the Exp Share off, then you have no right to complain when the chatroom is full of "this is boring I miss PBR" for days on end while we're grinding or recovering from the last PC shuffle.** | Exp Share is our one defense against trolls who will try to block evolutions and lead us to the PC.

homeshithome | > Moderation of hate speech shouldn't be considered censorship. You're not the government, you're running a web forum.
I think there needs to be a certain underestanding of political climate. Forum is not English-speaking, we're talking Eastern Europe and something as basic as hatespeech protection would certainly be considered as taking a political stance. Also, all the decisions are consensual and after recent discussions with the gator, I am sure as fuck he'll say no.
Also, that's not really a problem right now, as we're not exactly 8chan or KiA. GG is a fringe topic, almost nobody who doesn't browse imageboards or read English sites heard about it. Gender discussion is not exactly one of the discussions we ever held.
The key to understanding this is probably knowing political climate. And there's no better moment than today right now, because as I am writing this, five minutes ago a right-wing candidate just defeated slightly-less-right-wing candidate in presidential elections.
And this is important, because well, the tl;dr is that most people playing games around here could be gators, if they actually heard about it or care about gaming journalism to hide their hate behind. And I wouldn't mind such a reaction from a fraction of a userbase, but when I know there is no protection for the rest and that one of the admins agrees with them - let's just say the shit will hit the fan and I'm thinking about longterm plan what to do. Which who knows, this might be the option:

Pueggel | On October 4, 2011, my app [HeightScore]( an app that measures how high you throw your iphone in the air (yes seriously, it can do that using the accelerometer) and lets you compare with all other throwers around the world, was finally published to the AppStore. I was rather surprised by this, as I expected it being rejected. On this same evening I was down to chill with my friends. We were all throwing our phones, and we had a very good time. At dinner, I was talking about how my app motivates people to throw their device, and how Steve Jobs would not like the app, because it undermines the device's "aesthetic value". I said "If Steve knew what people around the world would do from today on with their iphones, he would fall death instantly."
The next day, October 5, 2011, Steve jobs died. I felt...strange?
To make it clear: No, I do not think that my app actually killed Steve. It was rather a surprising coincidence. Otherwise I wouldn't be posting this here, would I?

bluefoxalex | Ok I think I know what you mean but I don't think you worded it perfectly. As far as I can tell you want something that heats up quickly but you don't have to control (controlled by the vape not the user) and something you can take a cheeky (nandos (if you're a brit you'll get this, if not ignore it (only adding this in because it's a rare site to have 3 nested parethesis))) hit off of when someones back is turned.
Sadly I think the MFLB is as close as you can get to this, I have seen people recommending the Alfa which I've sadly never tried but has a small following of people who love it, another vape I have tried and would openly suggest is the Flowermate V5.0s/Mini. Ok, it takes a while to heat up (35-45 seconds) and it really is more of a session vape (10 mins) so it doesn't fit your criteria but maybe (just maybe (I love brackets ([9]))) it would fulfil your home vaping side, leaving the MFLB perfect for out and about? It's just a suggestion of course, really only you know what you mean I'm just trying to be helpful :D
TlDr;
MFLB is basically what you're asking for, trying adjusting technique?
MFLB + Other Vape might be a better option?

High_king_of_Numenor | The T'suulians.
They're a semi-monastic order of traveling acolytes. There are two (known) sects.
The first sect [Equita] are traveling justices and lawgivers, acting as judge, jury and executioner. They are the rarer of the two, as few make it through their ultra-stringent requirements. They also form the core of many governments, as they are guaranteed to be perfectly impartial and unbiased.
The second sect [Io], are doctors and teachers, who go about the countryside educating and healing, and teaching others to do the same. They often also act as merchants, selling people what's needed, giving the whole order a steady source of income.
The secret is that in addition to those two, there is a third sect.
N'al
In order to understand them, I'll have to explain a bit of the magic system here: There are two major systems of magic; divine and mundane. These two are controlled by priests and wizards, respectively. There is, however, a third type: Eldritch
Eldritch magic doesn't come from people or multidimensional beings, as mundane and divine do, but from something that is to gods what they are to us. It *seems* to have internally consistent rules, but nobody can figure out what they are. The nicest and most human of these being make Cthulhu look like great aunt Mildred.
N'al deals with these beings and their artifacts on a daily basis, keeping even idea of the concept of these things hush-hush, as even those can corrupt your mind and open a door for them to crawl through. The average career of a third sect T'suulian is either three weeks or fifty years, depending. They act as a sort of magical black ops with a scorched-earth policy. If you read a Eldritch Grimoire, everyone you know, and everyone THEY have talked to since then will be dealt with, using extreme prejudice. This is what happened to
The entire organization also takes a guiding role in history, making sure that the better rulers get elected, that the harsher regimes are taken down, and that people stay in the dark about what's actually out there.
TL;DR: magic black-ops Illuminati vs Cthulhu and pals

throw_awayy___ | A neighbor girl from a kinda uptight/religious family.
It was a summer evening and me and the other girls from our block were all hanging out all day riding bikes and talking and whatnot and we decided to have a slumber party at one of our houses. The sheltered girl was there while the rest of us were making plans and she asked if she could come too. We obviously said yes, not even just to be polite, but because we'd all been hanging out all day and no one had a problem with it. Well it turns into this big deal with her mom wanting to talk to the parents and making sure we go to bed on time and don't sleep in late because her daughter had church in the morning and whatnot, so everyone's starting to get a little annoyed by her mom, but whatever. The night goes on and we all get together at one of the girl's houses and watch movies. We're talking about celebrities and blah blah and how hot so and so is, but the sheltered girl is not talking at all. I try to get her involved in the conversation and ask her which guy she liked from the movie and she got all defensive and blurts that she is a virgin and she's going to practice abstinence and she doesn't need to date until she's older.. No one is challenging her, but now whenever we talk she starts like quoting bible verses and just talking about being abstinent and pure, and my friend gets annoyed and tells her to shut the fuck up, and the sheltered girl yells back at her that she is going to hell. Awkward enough, but we don't want to keep arguing with this girl so I just put in a new movie and we move on. Well within minutes this girl is asleep and snoring and we start talking amongst ourselves about how rude she was and she must think we're such bitches or something. We're all getting really mad the more we talk about it...
Well basically one thing led to another and the one girl she said was going to hell gets up and is like "fuck it, if i'm going to hell I'm going down in flames." She goes and gets all this random shit from the fridge--cream cheese and pickles and relish and horseradish.. She starts smearing it all over the sheltered girl while she's sleeping. We're all laughing and taking pictures and I even contributed by adding a dill spear to her open mouth like a cigar. And I'm just laughing the whole time. Finally she woke up to see us all laughing at her and she felt her face and started screaming. She ran to the bathroom and washed up and just cried the whole night. No one talked to her to see if she was ok or anything. Apparently at one point she called her mom and her mom came and got her at like 5 am and didn't say anything to anyone. I never talked to her again.
She is in her 20s and lives with her parents still. She's probably 300 lbs and barely leaves the house... just posts things on facebook about abortion and jesus and whatnot. (Yeah she kept me as a friend on facebook, god knows why). I just feel terrible about it. But then I'll see her posting all this hatred and bigotry and then I'm conflictedly proud of what I did. Ultimately though, I regret hurting her. There was a better way to handle that. Sorry neighbor girl!!

One is a claim, and the other is a judgement of other claims. The judgement doesn't make a claim **because it is a judgement**. It is external to the claim it's judging.

No. Just No. I will say the things that amount to me disagreeing with your claim. My going further by exploring my disagreements and judgements of the specifics of the claim or its tenants is still not a reason for you to independently decide that I have taken a position counter to yours; it means only that I don't agree with yours, and that is all. To consider me holding a counter position at that point is an assumption on your part and is entirely your problem.
> You can remain claim free by saying "I don't know if this guy was or wasn't abducted by aliens". However, if you have a negative tone as is implied by the sentence "I have no reason to believe that you were abducted by aliens", then you are making a negative counter-claim.
#
> The statements you expressed earlier definitely have a negative bent to them as opposed to neutral.
This is your sensitivity. "There is no good reason to believe X" and "I have no reason to believe X" are both equivalent with the non-position "I do not believe X." They just sound judgemental because they are; and the use of that tone is my choice to make independent of the position I hold.
Note that even if I do hold a position counter to the one I'm disagreeing with, none of those statements claim so. My disagreement with the truth value of your claim is in no way an agreement or disagreement with ANYTHING ELSE AT ALL. You can read implications into my rejection of a position if you like, and they may be somewhat accurate, but they do not amount to my holding of a position regardless.
PS. I think your example about god hints at you being either obsessed at best or dishonest at worst. The vast, vast majority of atheists reject your CLAIMS of god, especially the Christian god, vehemently without claiming there's no god; and it's convenient to be dishonest about them because if you think they're denying all chances of a god and then trying to be slippery, then they're being unreasonable and it's then reasonable for you to disregard either their disagreements or just them entirely.

> They reject the Christian god outright, but then fall back to "I'm not making claims" just because they left a back door open that some sort of God might exist.
No. Just No. I will say the things that amount to me disagreeing with your claim. My going further by exploring my disagreements and judgements of the specifics of the claim or its tenants is still not a reason for you to independently decide that I have taken a position counter to yours; it means only that I don't agree with yours, and that is all. To consider me holding a counter position at that point is an assumption on your part and is entirely your problem.
> You can remain claim free by saying "I don't know if this guy was or wasn't abducted by aliens". However, if you have a negative tone as is implied by the sentence "I have no reason to believe that you were abducted by aliens", then you are making a negative counter-claim.

> The statements you expressed earlier definitely have a negative bent to them as opposed to neutral.
This is your sensitivity. "There is no good reason to believe X" and "I have no reason to believe X" are both equivalent with the non-position "I do not believe X." They just sound judgemental because they are; and the use of that tone is my choice to make independent of the position I hold.
Note that even if I do hold a position counter to the one I'm disagreeing with, none of those statements claim so. My disagreement with the truth value of your claim is in no way an agreement or disagreement with ANYTHING ELSE AT ALL. You can read implications into my rejection of a position if you like, and they may be somewhat accurate, but they do not amount to my holding of a position regardless.

xUndefined | Well, leaverbuster does its work and bans people who leaves a lot in games so after all you don't need to report anyone for afk. Leaverbuster detects it.

Now, from my point of view, I have always said that if your pc can't handle the game you shouldn't be playing. You're being selfish if you do so, only caring about your fun even knowing that you could end crashing or dcing and therefore making your team lose.
&nbsp;
My philosophy is that if someone disconnects, I report him. If it only happened for a game then he won't be banned anyways. And if he really has a shitty computer that can't play the game then you are helping the system to make him stop ruining anyone else game.

Dakukori | I've never gotten a boss pink crit and I have about 460 glowing meteors. You either blow all your fp in time gate, which is what i'm doing for the boss pink scythe, or you grind and hope it drops (which is a waste of time imo). I know someone who got that boss' sub equip and sub stone on a soulbender in the span of 30 FP. Does that mean it's gonna be easy? Nopenopenope.
Tl;DR grind timegate for glowing meteors. The kartel end boss dungeons usually give 4-7 mysterious meteors as well that you can use to buy glowing meteor boxes. | I've never gotten a boss pink crit and I have about 460 glowing meteors.

vzzzbux | The developers only assess the suitability of it making a profit. They don't care about whether the place is on a flood plain or whether it'll still be standing in 10 years' time.
Buyers generally don't have a choice - that's the issue with a lack of supply. They need a house, they can't afford a decent house built on suitable land, so they'll go with the flood plain house when it's a bit cheaper.
The bonus is that then they whine to the government when their house gets flooded and the taxpayer usually helps out.
> Local people always seems to suggest the place is inappropriate or the infrastructure is lacking.
That might be because they live there and know what things are like. I live on a very busy road (mostly through traffic). The schools are full. The utilities barely cope (and the drains overflow when it rains too hard). It is simply ridiculous to build more houses here without fixing the problems first. That's why every parish council in the area (including mine) is leaning very hard on the county council to stop building until improvements are made - and all of them are constructing "neighbourhood plans" to force it
A developer wouldn't care about any of this, they see empty land and they see the pound signs (especially if they can cram as many houses as possible onto the land, slum housing style) - and they definitely don't want to have to contribute to new roads or more classrooms first. The council doesn't particularly care either - as it ticks boxes for them, and the brown envelopes of cash from the developers are a nice bonus'
