Shocking

Single, wish I weren't. But it just seems like women in my area can't be bothered to text back. And I get it, we all get busy, but I don't hear from you in 3 full months, only to see you text and say "sorry, I'm only seeing this now!", sorry sister, your already off my radar. I work a ridiculous amount of hours and even I find time to text people back in an hour or two.

If you decide to get one, get it used. Don't bother getting it new unless its a huge deal.

anyone who pays 7 dollars a cup for coffee every day is a chump. i buy coffee grounds in a big tub for less than that on sale and get more than a month's worth of servings out of it.

Christ, I buy decently priced coffee grounds from a bulk store and make my own cold brew. It's just better. I pay maybe 4 bucks for 5x the amount of cold brew that I would get from a store for the same price.

Cool, so what are we thinking? Heroin? PCP? How bout my favourite, a balloon filled with LSD that you swallow and it bursts coating your stomach lining? I call it "Disco Party".
As for a serious answer, Pepsi Zero Sugar followed by a nice hot coffee and some Pasta later today.

No More Heroes 1 and RE4 are literally the reason I tell people that Wii games aren't that bad. Both do motion controls fairly well, and to be honest, those games are the reason that the Wii controller is one of my favourite controllers.

Platinum goes for over $100 on Amazon and Ebay.

Then look into the ocean.... I know people are keen on playing the original copies but when a game goes for far higher than it should, you know where you should go. Plus D/P are essentially the same game outside of small choices and Pokemon. Platinum essentially fixes everything wrong with Gen 4, which is hilarious because they managed to screw it up for BD/SP.

Where to begin?
Captain Ginyu surviving into Dragonball Super
The entirety of Goku Blacks saga
So many similar devil fruits in the One Piece world that they overlap with one another.
Jason going to Space
The ending of Star Ocean 3
Anything past the first episode of Season 6 of "The 100"

Megaman X1 - It took everything the original Megaman franchise did, and enhanced it. Simple tricks were added like the dash and wall climb. Nothing super fancy, but enough to change the experience enough that many of those things are added into sidescrollers these days as the norm.

20+ years ago I would have welcomed this. These days I don't want Final Fantasy to besmirch my beloved Dragon Quest. I LOVED Final Fantasy pre-merger good old Squaresoft days. The only one I didn't like was VIII. But these days? Keep that shit away.

funny you say that because Enix didn't make a single Dragon Quest game. They only published the games made by 3rd parties.

To be honest I wouldn't want them to attempt it in the first place. It's only since Octopath 1 that I started liking their games again. Before that it was a mixed bag of mediocrity since the merger, and I wouldn't trust them to do it properly. If it were Squaresoft before the merger attempting it? Absolutely. But Enix at the time was never a developer. They were only ever a publisher. And know how out of touch their Enix side was at the time (seriously, look into it, its wild how many times their own music director prevented them from releasing the full game for his own profit), I can't trust them to release a proper title.

Henry - Binding of Isaac Repentance. I have 7k hours into BOI and I've never seen him spawn once. I've gone through Dross at least a few thousand times.

Would you commute >50 minutes each way to work, 4 days a week?

that's a trick question for me, as I work from home lol. I'll probably only work from home unless a really good job pops up that requires me to go into an office. I get to do all my work in a quiet environment with no distractions, and when I'm done, I can piss off and play games until my shift ends.

Depends on the location. I would never buy a house in a highly congested area, too expensive. If its an hour outside a main city where prices are a bit more reasonable then buy all day, every day.

No. It just means you have a preference.

Oh god.... where to begin. I can tell you my last few injuries. The most recent was a couple blood clots in my left leg as well as a couple in my lungs. I was on blood thinners for about 5 months to get rid of that. Before that I had to go through Chemo for my 2nd run of Cancer, this time in my lower back. But an actual injury? I went for a walk in the park late in the evening, it had been raining earlier that day. I slipped on some loose gravel and broke my right ankle, ripped all the tendons in my left, with the assistance of my buddy I walked 1/2 mile back to our car. Didn't find out it was that until 2 weeks later when I was finally able to get a proper X-Ray done.

Does Quiznos still exist?

It does, but its privatized now.

Actually you know what? I'm adding another to the mix. Edwand Mcmillen. The guy who created Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy.

Finji, or FromSoft (They made 3d dot heroes)

Slice of Pizza and a diet coke.

Bulma, and it isn't even close. Smart, witty, and extremely wealthy. Goku is decent, but as the series has progressed they have made him dumber and dumber.

No. There are better fps games out there, that are also free. Split/Gate is a fantastic game if you have a PC. Don't know if it came out on consoles.

My boss called me when I was attending my friends funeral wondering why I wasn't at work. Trust me when I say there are asshole bosses out there, you just haven't seen any.

There really was no eclipse where I live. It was an overcast day to begin with, it got slightly dark and then went back to being bright. Such a disappointment.

And you have to alternate.

I don't think you understand how powerful that actually can be. A professional boxer who can once a day add an additional pound to his punches? He'll be knocking people out he has no business knocking out.

As for my useless power... the ability to see a penny on the ground, but only if I'm 30,000 feet in the air.

Salary and vastly underpaid. I keep telling myself its a starter position as I just graduated college with a diploma in IT. But it averages to just under 20/h. I live with my parents right now, so its fine for now, I'm just using it as a way to gain experience before I apply to vastly better paying jobs next year.

When I had all 4 wisdom teeth , and a molar removed, I had f to he option to be put under, I took it, not because I am afraid of needles or pain, but because I figured it would be easier than gleaming to sit still while the dentist pried 5 teeth out of my mouth.

Meanwhile when my 4 wisdom teeth were taken out, I was only given deadening gum, not even a needle to deaden the area around where they pulled and stitched. I was I think 14 at the time and my parents were pissed. I suffer from High Blood Pressure (one of my kidneys has a defect, so its not weight related), so I was medically required to either be put under or given needles. Didn't really feel it though, just a lot of pressure.

4 in the past 3 years. A handful before that.

I thought of another downside.. but this isn't really related to Chemo, but rather surgery from having a port removed (ports make getting chemo way easier. No getting daily IVs, or having an IV in your arm for multiple days at a time). And that's cold feet. After having 3-4 surgeries, my feet are always cold as the nerves are all messed up. Even as I'm typing this, my feet are in an electric feet warmer, which is barely helping.

Thank you! :)

*wants Hi-5C*

Already lost 30lbs, been Type 2 Diabetic already for 3 years, and the bruising all over my body will get me VERY paranoid for blood clots and widow's edema and stuff.

My life will never be the same. But I feel unstoppable right now.

God Bless ALL of YOU

If blood clots come, they come. Just make sure you pay attention to your own body, that's all.

As someone whose gone through Chemo himself, I'm extremely happy for you. Now, that said, I need to warn you about some side effects you may encounter. Tiredness is an obvious one, as is either weight gain or weight loss. I myself lost 30 lbs while going through Chemo, as is T2 Diabetes. You are also extremely susceptible to diseases so your probably going to be home for a couple months after the hospital.

If you went through Chemo (and the advice from here on will pertain), then your hair will start to grow back strange. For me it was thin and curly, and that lasted about 8 months. I was also able to grow a proper scruff beard for that brief period. It's back to normal now.

But the one that really isn't discussed is blood clots. I woke up one day and couldn't move my left leg. Turns out that going through Chemo can also hasten any blood clots you have. So if you wake up one day and feel like something is off, please get it checked immediately. I ended up in hospital for a week because of this (where I binge watched the 100 on Netflix). Ended up on blood thinners for 6 months, which they screwed up on my end as I was supposed to be on needles for only 2 months ended up 4 months on needles (4 needles a day, 2 in the morning, 2 at night), 2 months on pills.

Lastly, there are some things you need to know that can help you out greatly. Cancer survivors have a special pass for the immediate future (I still have it even though my cancer was 2 years ago) where you can be put in a special room away from other patients if you get sick and need to go to Emergency. Our bodies aren't fully healed yet, that takes a few years. Also, please please please check your status with Unemployment. Unemployment screwed me royally. I was 120 hours short when I left my work term so they wouldn't cover me, so I was out several thousand dollars, though my work term gave me a 2 grand bonus so that helped me immensely.

Your also going to be seen with a specialist for the next 10 or so years of your life. Every 3 months you'll have a check-up. For me, that includes blood being drawn and some form of CAT scan. They may also do a more thorough test called a PET Scan. This scan involves you isolating for about 30 minutes while they inject a nuclear isotope into your body which lets them see a better picture of your body.

I went through 2 stints of Cancer. Stage 1 testicular, and Stage 1 or 2 lower back. It wasn't fully explained to me, and that's something I am going to be asking about on my next visit.

Honest answer is it really depends on your room size. There isn't much point having a 60 inch tv if your in a small room. So size the tv based on the size of your room.

Trades. With unlimited knowledge of writing and even 2 of those skills I can write some best seller books/e-books and earn more than 25 million in 10 years.

I like all 3.... but I'm very particular with Apples and Oranges. I only like Clementines, and I only like McIntosh Apples.

I would have said her outfit looked more like Rinoa from FF8, then again, I haven't played the newer FF7 remakes.

It depends on who it is. If its on a dating site, then no. But I've been trying to sell a used computer for a year now for over half off, and I'll get a buyer to contact me wanting to pick it up and then doesn't text back after that? I'm not trying to date you, be a fucking adult and tell me you aren't interested anymore.

I won't be grabbing it. And maybe its the negative 3rd party press I've heard about the game, but Capcom stuck in monetization into the fast travel system?

Dave the Diver. I don't know how I'd fare there.

At least you won't go into life crippling debt and get all of your worldly possessions taken from you for trying to take care of your health. The US healthcare system is only better if you're rich.

No, but that doesn't matter if your dead. I'm not joking here. People say "Oh its not so bad if I have to wait a bit". It isn't always good to wait. I've known family members who had to wait to get seen, only for their issues to go from a 3 to an 8 all because the wait times are horrendous.

Ergo, why both our countries are screwed.

Holy_Cloud105 posted...

My cousin got pushed down stairs by his wife and had a possible fracture in his skull and had to wait 3 days to get an X-Ray while he was waiting in the ER. I also needed an X-Ray for a potential surgery and had to wait 2 months to get it. So no, you can't get an X-Ray the same day everywhere in the US. I live in NYC btw. My mom has to wait an entire year to get cataract surgery.

All of that stuff you said happens here too. You just don't hear about it as often because it seems like the media wants to frame the US as this amazing bastion of healthcare while Canada and other places are hellholes.

fair enough, that I didn't know. Guess our areas all suck.

Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted...

The biggest problem with it in Canada is the fact that every province runs it differently.

Wait times have such a wide range of differences because some provinces pay and support their health system really well, while others (like where I'm in, Saskatchwan) are run by redneck morons who don't fund health properly.

While my wife was alive she needed a geneticist. There wasn't one in Saskatchewan because they didn't want to pay the going rate for one. We had to go to Calgary to get a specialist. =/

Where I am in Newfoundland, if your in a smaller town, you have to wait for the travelling specialist. I broke my left pinky about 15 years ago, and because the specialist didn't arrive in the town I was staying in until a month later, it healed and can't be fixed anymore. The only option was fusing it with my ring finger, which I refused to do because I want to actually be able to bend my finger for work.

Jeremy517 posted...

And? The US doesn't have to copy Canada's health care system. Single-payer works very well in enough countries that the US can easily find a better country to model it after.

I'm just pointing out that people think the US system is as bad as Canadas when it comes to waiting time alone when its not even comparable outside of your remote towns, that's all.

Holy_Cloud105 posted...

You realize that's also happening here in the US too right? To see a specialist you have to wait months. When I wanted to go to a cardiologist I had to wait months for an appointment and I ended up going to the ER and telling them I thought I was having a heart attack instead to get checked.

Your name really is fucking apt.

Not to agree with the OP but its not even close to the same. I waited 16 hours with a broken foot only to not be seen here in Canada, all because our health care system can't afford to pay for a second doctor for overnights. Meanwhile my cousin can walk into any doctors office in the States with his insurance plan, and not only get seen, but get set up for an X-Ray that same day, when I could be waiting over a month. If I didn't have my own family care doctor, I'd be screwed. And by the by, family care doctors are extremely rare where I live. I was lucky when my family care doctor retired that all his patients got moved to the replacing doctor.

I've known people to be put on a waiting list for over a year for an extremely important surgery, only for it to be cancelled without their consent because the surgeon decided to take a holiday, and that's the only surgeon in the province that can perform that one surgery.

I'm not saying the States doesn't have issues, you guys most certainly do. You pay way too much for basic quality of life medicare, but at the same time, all our nurses, doctors and surgeons are moving there because the pay is vastly more than here.

Jeremy517 posted...

News flash: You have to wait for months to see a specialist in the US too.

Single-payer healthcare works well in many countries.The US pays far more for health care per capita than any other country, but doesn't receive quality of care representative of that cost.

We don't wait months. Sometimes we wait years.
