Hell yeah. Pizza can have any sauce tbh if you do it well

This. Its not bad but theres so many better options I voted yuck.

Best advice I can give is to just live in the moment. Dont worry about what has happened or what may possibly happen. Focus on the right now.

Once someone gives reason not to trust them you can cross that bridge.

This is why you find a woman that is exactly 25. Real talk though women over 25 are where its at.

I dont understand why a grown ass man started punching that woman like that. I also dont understand why a grown woman would tell her son to execute the man.

Sad story all the way around. They might have got off on self defense had they not pursued the man after hed been shot and executed him. Unfortunately now all three lives are ruined forever:

Not wrong. Login servers are hard to get through. I just kept reloading every 5 minutes or so and got in on my 4th attempt.

I understand that but to say Blizzard is down is just not accurate. I was playing all morning.

Crimsoness posted...

So? I don't see how anyone can defend always online mechanics for single player. It adds nothing and it only harms the players.

Personally even when Im playing a single player game I like being able to see other players. It adds a bit of fun and social interaction. Server issues are not common enough for me to gripe about it. Stuff happens.

I just think the complaints are overblown. An offline mode would be preferred but I dont get how that is a dealbreaker. The vast majority of people have internet and the vast majority of the time the servers are up and running.

I'm frankly not even sure you're trying to understand it.

Then please break it down for me. Why is it a big deal that these catalogs are being shut down? Wii U and Vita never had huge player bases anyway. They were commercial failures.

Please tell me why it is a big deal these stores are being shut down 10+ years after release? I dont know about the others but I know for a fact you can still access PS3 games with a PS+ subscription so I dont understand that one at all.

Crimsoness posted...

Well let's see Blizzard has been down all day because of a DDOS attack. Too bad no one could play the single player game Diablo 4

Wrong. I literally just cleared capstone 3 an hour or two ago. AFAIK its been back up since early morning or late last night.

I tried to play and couldnt so I did something else. By the next time I went it turn it on the game was back up. Extended outages arent as common as you guys make it sound.

DarthAragorn posted...

Because we all know internet connections have never experienced outages and servers have never gone down or been shut down after release

Stuff happens. Its not the end of the world. Youll be ok if there is a temporary outage I promise.

I remember when PSN was down for like three months. Look at that we all survived. Its not a big deal if a game is down for a night.

LordFarquad1312 posted...

Lmao @ anyone defending digital only when Nintendo wiped the entire 3DS and Wii U catalogue from this plane of existence just this year, and Sony threatened to do the same with the PS3 and Vita not long ago, so you know it's coming.

Oh no! 10+ year old consoles are no longer being supported!

PS3 games are accessible with a PS+ subscription anyway. I dont get your point. Of course they arent gonna keep up catalogs from two generations ago.

gmanthebest posted...

It's insane how people defend online only for single player games

What exactly is the issue with a game requiring you to be online? I really dont understand.

These are $500 consoles. The games cost $70. Who is dropping that kind of money and doesnt have internet? I have no issue with them adding an offline option but yall act like gaming isnt a premium hobby. I cant imagine anyone that seriously considers themself a gamer not having access to internet.

There is no need for physical discs in 2023. This is a non issue for me.

you pay to see the movie and you don't actually see the movie and if you want to see the movie you have to pay again and hope it's the other version,that's definitely a scam
what are the going to do next sell two dvds for the same movie? so people have to pay twice?

Watch out its the no fun police!

Well props to you guys that moved in with wives/gfs. I had planned to get a place with my girl but honestly I am not confident enough in our relationship to live with her at this point so I squashed that. Maybe one day. Maybe never.

Living alone is goated. I lived with a roommate in a solid enough 2br/2ba. Chill dude, we kept to ourselves, nothing really in common. He was a flight attendant so he would be gone for several days at a time which was nice.

Realized I had overbudgeted, so I decided to move into a studio after a year. Even though it was a shoebox, it was absolutely night and day. Being alone is the absolute greatest thing ever. You'll love it.

Bruh I cant wait. Everyone Ive ever lived with has been cool but there is a little adjusting with any roommate. Im at the point in my life I dont want to adjust. I know who I am, I know what I want and Im willing to pay to live the way I want.

No more coming home to unexpected guests or mess. No more surprises. Just me doing my own thing with my own rules.

Realized enough was enough

Yeah I definitely think this change will push my life in a good direction.

I am slowly cutting all negative influences from my life. Not saying roommates are bad but you have less control of your environment.

Will_VIIII posted...

I am not and will not be budgeting to support my parents in this way. Sometimes people make choices and have to sleep in the bed they've made. I do have an okay relationship with them, but they've made a lot of poor financial choices throughout the years and I'm planning to start a family of my own within the next couple years. I won't let their bad decisions jeopardize what I want in life.

My mom makes a lot of bad financial choices but at the end of the day thats my mom. I wouldnt be at this point without her and honestly she may not need the help but my goal is to be at a point I can help her out. She is the one person on this planet I do not question would do anything for me.

There is definitely a reality where you can do both meaning be well off and have your parents taken of too.

Trumble posted...

First moved out at 17, moved back at 20, moved back out (and stayed out this time) at 23.

I'm assuming you just mean "not with parents or other older family members", otherwise it was just (some of) the time from 17 to 19 as I had flatmates or lived with a partner the rest of the time.

Im talking about completely by yourself. I was just thinking Ive always had a roommate then I just wondered how many people actually live alone or do they.

I know a good amount of people that say they would never but Im looking forward to it. I can do whatever judgement free. Finally.

random_man9119 posted...

28 is when I moved out of my parents place... but I've lived with roommates since...

Theres nothing wrong with having a roommate. I lived with my brother and I would have resigned but he let a friend stay with us for a weekend that ended up being two months.

If we had continued to live together it probably would have destroyed our relationship. It was driving me crazy.

Age 19-20 (I had a "single" as a sophomore), then age 22-30ish.

PROTIP: Maids are totally worth it. Even though you can obviously clean your place yourself, unless you have the personality for it, you won't actually do it often enough. I was foolish for not hiring them when I was younger.

I dont think Ill have that issue but well see. I dont mind cleaning up when its my stuff. What annoyed me was cleaning up roommates stuff. One reason Im glad to have my own place.

Will_VIIII posted...

Right. I mean I'm planning out my own retirement which wouldn't have me depend on children or other family. It's selfish to burden others in this way.

I dont believe a parent should expect it by default. A child never owes a parent anything. Thats what you sign up for when you have kids. If youve done your job as a parent correctly then you wont even have to ask.

On the flip side though if you have a family member in need and you can help and choose not to, that makes you a bad person. Parent or child. Family takes care of family.

My primary motivation for making more money is putting my mom in a position she can retire comfortably.

Im 29 and I was thinking this place Im about to move into is the first time Ive never had a roommate at all.

Not gonna lie Im excited. Saving the money was nice but I just want peace and quiet at home these days.

If it was Elon Musk getting a statue of himself or something thatd be weird but he got a statue of an iconic movie character he played. Thats pretty dope if you ask me.

Kloe_Rinz posted...

What? No. Have the other person pay for the full professional repair. Whether TC wants to do a DIY and pocket the cash is up to him but dont let the other person walk away with paying for a $30 repair kit when it costs like $3k for a real repair

This was my point. TC did nothing. He is entitled to the full insurance payout. What he uses it on is up to him.

Its literally as simple as learning self control. There are entire communities that dont use modern technology.

Well yeah. People are trying to straight up ban Critical Race Theory which tends to translate to teaching anything bad white people have ever done.

Its a joke. The blatant racism I could accept. The erasure of history is just insane though.

Republicans whole thing these days is identity politics. Its not even about policy anymore. Are you a different race or sexual orientation? Well then case closed.

People just need to learn to regulate. Social media is a joke. Its not to be taken seriously. I dont fault technology for people that are obsessed with Instagram. Just log off.

ummm

do you know that the words samsungsalt and K1zzl3_82 are two different words? I am not that user. He was merely offering a suggestion. How many holes are in your walls at home? Do you have an anger room? How do your parents treat you when you have outbursts like this?

Go gaslight someone else chief.

k1zzl3_82 posted...

He is saying that the transmissions on these cars are notorious for being bad. If you cannot get that then holy shit, but whatever kid... enjoy being mad at strangers for no real basis because you do not possess basic reading comprehension.

No shit. That is the problem. You say its notorious yet you feel the need to come in and say that like literally everyone doesnt already know or have access to with a quick google search.

Do yourself a favor and learn when to shut the hell up.

samsungsalt posted...

Youre better of scrapping the Focus for parts if thats bothering you enough to fix it, especially if youre driving around on rusted steelies without covers, those automatic transmissions are dog shit.

or just go to a junkyard and find a replacement door for 10% of the price to pop out that dent and replace it yourself

Correction: dog shit. Im done with you clowns. If you dont understand how this is a tool thing to say then I dont know what else to say. Get out your moms basement and learn some social skills.

k1zzl3_82 posted...

explain how it is a jab?

He didnt say he wanted a new car and he also said he wasnt going to fix it. So this is an open forum to discuss his options. Nobody is taking a jab at the TC. Calm down kid

Calling someones car a shitbox isnt a jab? Like really? This really needs to be explained to yall?

It amazes me how people will get on here and pretend to be so smart while completely lacking common sense. Yall have zero social skills. Try reading, kid.

KC is in the top 75. Ill take it. Too low but Ill take it.

I think that man has been on something lately. Look at the way h e hurt that poor Mascot. Just straight assault and he did it in the middle of a crowd. AND he punched him in the face while he was down and unconscious for NO reason.

Is this really that unbelievable?

McGregor has always been wild but hes not randomly sexually assault someone wild.

Thats a pretty extreme line to cross.

ProfessorKukui posted...

If you are paying an arm & leg for disposables why the hell not buy a cheapo pen or a yocan ?

I have a Yocan. You have to load and you have to replace the coils every so often. I feel that is way worse for your lungs because I know people dont replace those coils as often as they should.

The whole point of a disposable is convenience. You dont load it, you dont charge it, you dont do anything. Hit it til its gone then throw it in the trash. A half g disposable lasts me a week or two. Not a bad deal IMO for how long it lasts. I remember paying a $20 a g. Its all perspective. I can hit after a Rocket League goal or between mobs in Diablo instantly. Just too easy. I value that. Smoking isnt a ritual for me like it used to be. I just like to get high conveniently as possible.

k1zzl3_82 posted...

I mean this is pretty sound advice. KBB is probably like 6k on it. They will probably not total it, so might as well get the 3500 and put it towards a new vehicle

VirtuousWrath posted...

samsungsalt is dropping straight truths and CEmen can't take it

Yall would have a point if TC ever said he wanted a new car. Giving unsolicited advice nobody asked for isnt cool. Especially when its not even actual advice. Its a poorly veiled jab.

samsungsalt posted...

If tc has insurance then he sure as hell isnt smart enough to use it by filing a claim and waiting on their approval for body work, and is instead getting a quote from the most outrageously expensive body shop known to man, all the while bitching about it online, or he doesnt have underinsured coverage which my condolences to tc if that is the case.
If he wants to dump that much money into his car even knowing its an older bottom of the barrel car then he is more than welcome to. Im just providing an argument against doing so on a 10+ year old car thatll be lucky to make it another 5 and isnt worth it because its dented. Hes better off keeping the dent and having internal beef with his boss if you ask me. Oh, and I never told him to get another car. Stop trying to find loopholes in my posts to make your argument tread water.

If tc was actually smart about his finances and he really doesnt have any other choice besides fixing it oop, instead of keeping up with the Jones by crying over spilled milk, hes better off saving the $3500 for a down payment on a new car when his pos focus inevitably goes out as you put it.

Very strange how much youre bending over backwards to blame TC for being backed into.

Youre weird and pretty lame if Im being honest. Done talking to you.

samsungsalt posted...

If tc wants to spend 3500 on a car that is maybe worth half that then who am I to stop him. But my point still stands the generation of Ford Focus op has is a rolling time bomb for when the tranny goes out, assuming he has an automatic.

Theres this thing called insurance that covers things like this. It makes no sense to go and get a whole other car. This is just terrible advice all the way around.

Literally every car ever made is a time bomb. They will eventually go out.

I hat when people do this. Literally nobody asked for your opinion on TCs car. Keep it to yourself. This is outta line.

Nothing wrong with his car and he isnt the one that messed it up.

Anony1125 posted...

Update: it was my boss who hit me. Think I can shake $3500 out of her?

I have to hear this story. How did you find out it was your boss? Have you said anything?

Absolutely shake him/her down. That is insane that your boss of all people would hit your car then just leave like that. Thats a felony.

Carts are just really harsh on me tbh. Even after getting used to them they are still the hardest on the throat I have encountered

Never really had the problem of it being too strong tbh. It's so easy to control how big of a cloud you get with the devices I use which is another reason I prefer it

No waste or mess to clean up. Literally just pop it in with a toothpick turn it on and wipe with ISO every once in awhile instead of getting the shit all over your hands which admittedly isn't really a problem until you get the real sticky

I exclusively smoke these. They are smooth as hell. None of that harshness or coughing that you see with a lot of vapes. If you see them check one out.

Glad I looked this up actually because Ive been paying $50 per at the dispo. Fools ripping me off.

DD just dropped this nugget of news to drivers today. By offering as little as $2 base pay on a stacked order, its possible theyll pay as low as $1/order, further forcing the burden of pay on customer tips.

Eh I prefer the natural product to carts especially disposables. They're good for being in public but I prefer the look taste and general feel of sugar and rosin which is mainly what I've dealt with

I really just smoke these days to take the edge off and unwind a lil. I find with disposables I can carefully control how high I get because I can just take a small hit as needed.

With dabs sometimes you take one and youre just smacked. Flower is just too much because I absolutely hate to smell like weed in any type or public setting.

Axiom posted...

Vaping a bb size rosin or live sugar > smoking a blunt and getting equivalent high

Also no smell lingering or lighters. Frankly anyone living near a dispensary and is still using flower is doing it wrong

Carts are the way to go now. Discreet and no paraphernalia required. Just hit it and toss it when its out.

I do think thats part of the stigma around weed is all the bullshit people use to ingest it. Cant blame people for thinking youre a crackhead when you have a literal propane tank in your hand to get Hugh.

xGhostchantx posted...

Sadly there are all too many that do, being in that kind of social circle I've experienced it over and over, they just refuse to see the reality of it. If it brings an unnatural dopamine rush, it will become addictive, end of story. That's how the brain works.

Brain goes "hm, I'm pretty sure there's meant to be more dopamine here. this is not normal. i'm now going to send signals telling my body it's not normal"

I think theres a piece of thats just being miscommunicated. I dont believe weed is physically addicting like there are adverse physical effects when people dont smoke. You dont have withdrawals like someone with an alcohol or opioid addiction.

It is just habit forming which is different IMO.

I dont like McGregor but this seems farfetched.

Definitely. The trend started loudest with WWE, now Liv Golf and the PGA are merging, MLB teams have taken Saudi Money, NBA teams are up next.

What exactly do you think is gonna happen? There is no way the NBA is ever playing in Saudi Arabia.

Good. I am of the opinion that we shouldnt bend over backwards for countries that think like this. Let them miss out on good entertainment and be miserable.

Maybe eventually their citizens will get tired enough to demand change.

You're growing out of gaming, it seems. Happens to every level headed person eventually

I dont believe this. I thought I was growing out of it for a bit too. Went months without playing. Got Diablo 4 and I have played the shit out of it.

Think TC is just playing the wrong games and/or burnt out.
