I was interested in Tesla when it first getting big. But lost interest fast due to him. I would say you couldn’t pay me to open one, but if there’s 46 billion just burning a hole in someone pocket, well fuck, for a billion dollars I’ll be interested and for 2 billion I’ll own it.
You’re actively encouraging teens to have sex. And reading your replies it’s implied that you want them to have unprotected sex to procreate to produce more kids. That’s weird and creepy.
Understand that people will come and go in your life. For better or for worse.
Just because you’ve known somebody most of your life don’t assume you know anything about them. They can surprise you, for better or for worse. And for my experience it’s generally for the worse.
People change and sometimes it’s best to just let go.
I can give a tangent I suppose. I, like many have a first and last name. I prefer… Military style (no idea what to call it, if it has a proper name). I’ve gone by this for 25+ years. I’ll introduce myself as such to people I know, work with, etc. and there’s usually questions… Which I can understand, generally it’s people not believing that that’s my name. Either it sounds too absurd to be a name or it is too absurd to be a first minute, we’re honestly I totally get. A quick show of their driver’s license usually sorts it out. And most people will refer to me as my last name. Only occasion someone will use my first name and it doesn’t really bother me, usually. (And just be clear I don’t use it like how a teacher would I use it like as if it was a first name that makes sense…).
When it does bother me is when it becomes obvious that the person is going out of their way to make sure they use only my first name. Because it is a clear sign of disrespect. And in almost every single case it’s clear that the person thinks they’re the first person to think of this and they think they’re clever and that I don’t notice. The most blatant was as individual started to say my last name, immediately stopped after the first few letters, and switched to my first name… It cannot have been more obvious that was intentional.
There’s not be a single reason. In a few jobs when I was younger, it was usually the manager nobody liked, the one that let you know they weren’t there to make friends… they were usually the likely ones. A girlfriends parents (again when I was younger) was split. Her Dad for a good while refused, but eventually came around. He clearly didn’t like me (I think it was just an over-protective father sort of thing). More recent was someone who just had a superiority complex at work. I can only speculate as to what was wrong with this person or their motive, but they were the one that stopped “mid-name” to switch.
This exactly. Guns have way more of a kick than people think and way less ammo. Too many people believe what they see in action movies. The gun range I go to you always hear about someone who wanted to live out something the saw in a movie… Only to end up shooting the ceiling, missing the target, and finding it the mag doesn’t last minutes (for guns with an auto setting).
The more something costs the more I expect from it. Baldur’s Gate 3, was $60 on release. If you want that or more from me, my personal expectation is your game is if the same quality or better.
I’m not even going to wait for a sale. Because by the time a decent sale comes around an indie developer has made a better game for cheaper, and I’ve already bought it, and I’m playing it. Your old, overpriced game means nothing to me. There is no shortage of entertainment and the hype for these games often dies so fast you’re really not missing out.
Could I buy a PlayStation. Yes. Will I, no. I lost interest in PlayStation back during the PS3. That console saw more Blu-rays and DVDs than games. Never bought a PS4.
And if/when this or any other formerly exclusive games come to PC, it has to compete with current release PC titles, but itself will be judged as an older title. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s new to the platform. I won’t be paying new game price for a port of an old title.
Depends. If it’s like SG-1 and Atlantis I’m 100% on board. If it’s more in line with SGU… it’s more like 60% on board. I felt like SGU could have been way better, but several story plots got rushed and abandoned and certain plot points got pushed hard that were really… uninteresting IMO. But the show overall kind of… made the mistake when they introduced a lot of space ships and sort started losing it’s identity. Like the stargates were just faster to get around in but no longer needed for most things.
I’ve had an idea in my head for a while, like some new scientist who’s been working off of Carter and McKay’s work has made a discovery that the gate goes to a lot more gates than they thought. Re-makes the DHD Carter made with the new research and better tech creating a “Master Gate” or “Master DHD” (basically a gate that has the training wheels removed, IE Ancient ‘Admin’ access mode) and the gate now travels to a whole separate gate systems that no one new about before. Leading to meeting up with certain species that were only seen like once like Oannes, to find that Nem wasn’t the lone survivor of the species but was stuck and was the last survivor of the expedition. A true Nox home world (suggesting the planet we see them on was just a settlement/outpost/etc) and even the much anticipated Furlings can be found.
School might be over, but your education never stops.
When I graduated highschool, we didn’t have the resources we have today. You can freely learn a language anytime you want. Find out interesting maths they didn’t teach you in school, details about the world you live in you might not know (architecture, history, of just why things are one way in one nation vs another).
There are so many fantastic YouTube channels. Here’s a list of channel I’ve subscribed to that I think are with it. There a few programming ones in there too. And this doesn’t even cover the channels that showed me how to repair my AC unit, or how to repair my washing machine.
If this lost is to long, than 3 channels I recommend highest is Tom Scott, SmarterEveryDay, and Steve Mould.
I’ve lost track, who’s turn is it tomorrow to post that’s same ‘meme’ tomorrow. Gosh it’s just so original and fresh the 75th fine seeing another, “if your centrist your basically a Trumper!”.
At one point during the interrogation, the investigators even threatened to have his pet Labrador Retriever, Margosha, euthanized as a stray, and brought the dog into the room so he could say goodbye. “OK? Your dog’s now gone, forget about it,” said an investigator....
Imo, it’s not important to memorize everything. Every patch changes something (sometimes something small like here armor adjustment on something). The general game play loop has never changed. Be aware of the map, get last hits/denies, work with team, play and build for your role/position, be cognitive of your positioning, etc.
Have to agree. Because I have no clue what CSAM is. My first glance at the title made me think it was CSPAN (the TV channel)… So CP is better identifier, as of at least recognize the initialism.
If we could stop turning everything, and especially important things, into acronyms and initialisms that’d be great.
