Not great, but legible. Unlike my dad whose left handed and a crap writer so nothing is legible.

It means that 90 percent of the time they aren't hunting. They are lazing around under a tree. Yeah, they eat meat, and can be aggressive, but most of the time they actually are quite tame, some even enjoy being around humans.

I mean, if you want to bring up actual predators then I bring up the Dragonfly who has a 99 percent chance of catching its prey and eats hundreds of flies and mosquitos a day. Not to mention that their brain allows them to predict where their prey is going to be, before the prey even knows itself.

I don't know if they are at the top. For the most part Lions usually are fairly docile. There are a couple species of cat that are aggressive, but they will usually stay to themselves. Same with wolves for the most part. Hippos on the other hand, they are nuts. Short Temper, can run at burst speeds of 30 miles an hour, are incredible swimmers and their jaws have over 1500 pounds of bite strength, only 4th to 2 species of Crocodile and 1 species of Alligator.

Imagine getting charged by a small golf cart that weighs nearly 4000 pounds.

My suggestion, as I suggest to everyone, is to give DDP Yoga a shot. I'm fairly lazy and have social anxiety so going to a gym just feels off to me. But DDP Yoga helped me drop from 270 down to 228 in 3 1/2 months. You can find a couple of his videos online for free, and tbh it was the best choice I ever made. Now that said, as I said I'm really lazy(mom thinks its a form of Cushins since its a motivation thing, but I digress). So I gained all that weight back and then some.

No lifting involved. It's a combination of Yoga and Isometrics(forcing your body to tense up in positions to make it feel like you're pulling weights). The first time I did it, I managed to get through 5 minutes of the 30 minute workout. After that, 6 minutes, and it kept going until I was able to do it twice a day. Just be prepared, its surprising how much you will sweat. I would use up 2 bath towels my first few times. So you'll need water and towels. The Yoga mat helps, but isn't needed(though I'd get one eventually just in case). Just take it at your own leisure.

Weren't there rumors that Jesse Ventura and Rock were going to run at some point? and I thought I heard rumors that Arnold would at least be endorsing one of them.

Usually the way I look at it is you want 1 hard drive just for the operating system, another for storage and optional for faster game load times. Some will say you don't need an drive just for the OS, but I find it just makes it cleaner and less chance you overload the drive and slow your system down.

240 gig SSD for the OS, 2 TB Mechanical for storage, and an optional 1 TB SSD for gaming.

Games that aren't completed and released. Day 1 patches as well. Needing online to improve the game as well. Nintendo falls into these but people turn a blind eye.

Oh god, FF15, Skyrim.... some of them didn't even fix the major problems with the game, some of them were just there to make the fucking game run and not kick you out immediately.

God I hate the chants Wal-Mart gets its employees to repeat. It's so fucking stupid. They preach fair treatment of everyone yet half the employees working at our store get yelled at on a daily basis mostly for shit that's out of our control.
<Work at Wal-Mart, at least for the next month.

Thats not true and its strange that youre choosing that case specifically compared to more recent ones that would actually support your argument.

Because all the recent wrestling related accusations for the most part started with that one. There were others going on at the time, but none related to wrestling. And I'm not going to argue details you can look up yourself. He found out, let Vince know about the thing, Vince told him to go home and the next day he was fired. Months later the case was dropped due to lack of evidence on her side, which could be because her story kept changing.

shockthemonkey posted...

He got fired because he didnt tell WWE he was under investigation, not because of what the allegations were.

Which he didn't find out about until that very day it went public, so literally 0 time to tell them he was under investigation.

This one?

Yep, that's the one. I mean, the guy was a creep not wanting to take it slower, but still. Her ideals are why she has been single. She made a promise to herself back when she was 16. She's been single since. I get it, I really do. But a month should be long enough for intimacy. Say she finds someone, they get married and her first experience is horrible, is he supposed to suffer never getting laid again because she didn't enjoy it?

I remember seeing a video of a taller black woman in her 30s, not bad looking but refused to have a physical relationship until marriage, because it was against her Christian beliefs. Which I can appreciate, but at 6'7, you aren't exactly helping yourself by waiting.

Wait, why would anyone fire someone accused of rape for being a racist?

But to answer your second paragraph in what I believe was the intended spirit, you're assuming no fact-checking has taken place because you weren't involved.

Let us take one of the recent scandals surrounding EVO. Mr. Joey Cullar was removed from his position not long after the allegations were made. Was this done because the others in charge of EVO saw the accusation, immediately believed it, and removed Mr. Cullar? Or did they do their own internal investigation (which may have involved direct questioning of Mr. Cullar) and come to the conclusion that the accusation was credible?

Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I point to the literal dozens of wrestlers that are getting fired as we speak. Many people have come out and accused them, and many of them lost their jobs literally the day it was posted. So yeah, my point is very valid. We live in a world where its act now, ask questions later. 1 day is not enough time to have a full investigation. I don't care who you are. Suspend them yes, but don't fire them until you get full facts.

One example was Enzo Amore. He was accused by some women of sexual assault. Suspended and fired the same day. Turns out the woman lied about the encounter. He wasn't offered his job back.

I know myself, I've been fired at least once without an investigation happening. Was working as security for a site, did my shift and the next day I was being told I was being let go. When I asked why, they said that a bunch of our security staff were leaving and going home during their shifts. So rather than investigating properly, they just let the lot of us go. Another time I was moved from a job position because a person who had nothing to do with our company complained about where I was sitting(for reference our security office combined with another office, I was sitting in the other office due to the security office being very cramped with the 2 of us there, literally no one complained about it except 1 person, which caused me to lose that position). Luckily that same company lost the majority of their job sites and can't get them back.

Also yeah, I screwed up the spelling of rapist, can't edit it now.

Some motion controls can work wonders. I was at an arcade down in Florida that had full motion martial arts games. Wasn't the greatest but it was also 20 years ago. For me, its experimenting outside the realm that got you famous. Sure it works some times(in the case of Overwatch), but other times the games just feel awful.

Case in point Final Fantasy's direction towards action rpg gaming. I'm not a fan of it, because I know they can do some really kick ass games when they stick to a turn based/action turn based combat system. Or Metal Gear 5/FF15s open world attempt. Sure its big, but both worlds are nearly barren.

It really depends. Was it in the workplace? then obviously yes, your degrading a potential customer. Outside of the workplace? it really depends. If it was linked back to the employer then yes, they should fire them. But if it was an isolated incident that was taken out of context? Hard to say.

Best example was when someone falsely tweets they were raped by someone, and before an investigation even happens the company fires the so called "racist" person, without doing any fact checking.

I'm not disagreeing, just saying a guy in his 20s isn't 100% gonna be charged if he's with a girl under 18. It just varies.

I was responding to Canuck lol. But yeah.

I'm 34. I'd go out with someone who is 20. Christ I'd go out with someone who is 18, assuming they aren't lying about their age. Is it an age I would actively seek out? no.

Also, to the above poster, the age of consent is 16 in Canada. That said, there are many judges that would argue against that, so it isn't worth the risk, and to be honest, its just creepy. I can understand if your 18 years old dating a 16 year old, but a 20+ year old dating a 16 year old? find someone older.

rush aint metal... night wish sounds like it aint either, talking bout real metal kid

Kid.... man.... I haven't been called that in 19 years? Also, you might want to do your research, because many big metal bands have had some form of piano/keyboard music in it at some point in their existence. Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath, Dio, Rammstein, etc.

R1masher posted...

Theres no keyboards in metal!

Rush and Nightwish would like to have a word with you. There most certainly are keyboards in Metal. I now realize that Rush is a Rock band, but the point stands.

Never understood people who can eat just a pepperoni pizza. It's kind of... boring. I have to have a 4 meat pizza or 4 cheese pizza.

European RPG. If anything that makes the game have a better chance of not being buggy on launch. Lord knows Skyrim took months to get completely fixed up.

Depends on the flavor. I will say this, I much prefer baked over kettle cooked. Kettle cooked is way too hard for me to bite into. Also, and I say this a lot to people, don't just assume you hate a flavor because you've had 1 or 2 brand names. Example: Lays makes an amazing Salt and Vinegar chips, but their Sour Cream and Onion is hot garbage.

Meanwhile, Loads of makes an amazing Ketchup, but their Barbecue is kind of off.

I like Goku before Super. Prior to Super they made him out to be somewhat intelligent. He wasn't Einstein, but at the same time he wasn't dumb about things. In Super they made him to be a complete moron.

Just like I like Smallvilles version of Superman/Clark Kent. Both are fine imo.

Ups guys are kinda known to be overworked. Hope it's a different guy tomorrow.

I hear that. I don't expect much from them, but at least let me answer the door. I can understand if I'm taking like 2 minutes to answer the door, but the last package I had delivered I was literally 6 feet away from the door. The chick rang the doorbell, left the package on my step and drove off. No hello, kiss my ass, or anything. I'm glad I live in a very safe neighborhood where my neighbors will grab my packages if it is left out for too long and I'm not home, but some of these a-holes don't even check the damn address on the package and leave it on my front doorstep. No point in calling them as it goes directly to a automated voice message system. Luckily the person lived across the street, but still.

I'm a big fan of Randy Santel myself, with the odd Matt Stoney video thrown in there.

the capabilities should have been there since the start. If anyone remembers playing Crystal Chronicles on the Gamecube, you could use a Gameboy Advance with a link cable as a controller with a screen on it. It's always boggled my mind how that wasn't made standard moving forward. We briefly saw it with the Wii-U and its gamepad, but I question why that same functionality wasn't brought to the Switch.

Having that would allow us to play Nintendoland on our Switch, or any of the thousands of DS/3DS games, and would be a real selling point for the switch itself. Even if they came out with a bluetooth adapter for the switch to play our old 3ds games using what I typed above, I would be all for it in a heartbeat.

No, but I have choked on a sour soother before. Had to reach down my own throat to pull it out. Wasn't fun. Really scary moment.

Hawkeye is fucking awesome what are you talking about

If I may, based on the last movie, I think it speaks wonders about Hawkeye. He transitions into the role of Ronin and 15 minutes later he's back to being Hawkeye. Like Ronin never existed.

As for the question at hand, yeah, I'd probably go with Spider-man. Nothing against him, great actor, liked him as Spiderman, but I would cast someone who just looks older and can fit that role of late 20s/early 30s Spider-Man. I'd also cast someone the size of a Brian Shaw as Kingpin, again, not Shaw himself, but someone the size of him. Or someone they can Hagridify and make look intimidating. Doesn't need to be in the movies immediately, but a flash here and there leading to the character reveal itself.

I'm fine with that, but its more or less that they push the pizza into my face and take off. No politeness, no nothing.

No, but anyone who is dumb enough to host Covid parties should be dropped in the middle of the Mohave desert and forced to walk to civilization, with only a backpack full of supplies given to them for survival.

I kind of dislike my pizza delivery guy. He's kind of emotionless? I get pizza delivered because the delivery is free, not because I'm sick.

None. If I were to get any weaponry, I could see myself starting a close quarters collection(swords, katanas, tonfa, etc), and maybe an airsoft gun/paintball gun. No need for anything else, especially if I want to have kids in the future.

IXs regular battle music, Seymour battle theme, Battle on the big bridge, FF4s boss battle theme, Red Wings, to be honest I can just lie down and listen to RPG music all day long, so much great music.

People lie about everything. I went on a date with one chick who said she was 5'8, more like 5'2(I'm 5'9, she was far shorter than me). Average is 6 1/2, though I think 7-8 is probably spot on. Not too big, but not too small, but there are guys with shorter members that can take your girl to..... sigh..... flavortown....

hmm... i know I shouldn't question the authenticity of a wrestling interview, but...

Is that a wrestling interview? I'm not familiar with the wrestler then. Looks like the guy could be part of a bodybuilding competition.

I personally dislike fake breasts. I mean, if anyone loves them, great for them. I just find the majority of the ones I've seen didn't heal right and some women go far too big. Some women choose to go 2-3 times bigger than they should. Not to mention there is a stigma thanks to the porn industry that many of them just look fucking horrible.

If it were up to me only breast cancer survivors/transgenders would be able to get them, and this whole stigma of being embarrassed that some women have small natural breasts would just go away. As women get older and they go through stuff like pregnancy and various other things, all that can change fairly quickly.

The worst part is, some women who get the procedure done don't know how to take care of them properly, or they go to someone who doesn't know how to do the fucking proceedure right. To bring up a couple examples of what I mean, Trisha Paytas and Kayla Kleevage come to mind. Both are fucking god awful.

Having no story at all makes it vastly superior to the trash MGS4 was. God thats whe worst fucking garbage ive ever seen in any medium for a conclusion to a story.

Guessing you've never played Fable 2, where the final boss is literally you shooting him once. PSPs sell for about 50 CAD where I live. Dirt cheap, and they can be used as an older emulation machine, including psp games.

Thank god I live in one of the many cities who have raised themselves on hydraulic legs getting ready for the long battle for resources.

I'm a huge fan of 1 and 2. To go along with that La Pucelle Tactics, which just did some things a bit better than D1 did.

AssGender posted...

I dont get it, why 5 is the worst?

There's so much replayability in that game than any of its previous iteration.

Replayability doesn't help when the story is garbage. Does it have better combat? that's actually something I argue about. There are subtle things it took out from previous games that to me just make no sense. For example, you have to take out a relay box to prevent enemies from swarming the place your working through, yet if there is one enemy left, and you shoot the walkie talkie he's carrying with a silencer, somehow every enemy in a 20 mile radius is alerted of your location.

I also didn't like the boss fights. I thought that was a cop out. Just like the missions in the game, bosses had to be fought multiple times. Compared to the previous games where for the most part each boss was fought once, and if a boss was fought a second time, it felt very different than the previous time.

When I got the game, I had hoped it would have big condensed areas like Ground Zeroes had. A military base where you had to stealth your way through, maybe a small city to abduct an enemy leader. While it was explored during the Africa area of the game, Afghanistan was just sand on sand on sand on sand. It didn't need to be Assassins Creed Afghanistan, but at least have something other than the same cave and outposts reposted every 10 miles.

Every time on that damned helicopter just felt like one big middle finger from Kojima to Konami.

Yeah, that's my 5 rant. Honestly, there were just better games during the time I grabbed the game. Dishonored had just came out, and even Black Flag did the open world thing a bit better than MGS5 did.

It's an alright game. I wouldn't say best game ever, Christ I wouldn't even say its the best Disgaea game.

I wouldn't mind a mega collection. All the games except for 5(I hate MGS 5, worst of the series), and that includes the Metal Gear series, Acid series, Portable Ops and Peacewalker.

Trained a bunch of people, never interviewed people though. God I wish I could interview people, at least then we wouldn't be getting so many morons who can't take simple instructions. Literally had one guy who nearly electrocuted another co-worker by not telling them there was a frayed wire in one of our machines. Blew out the outlet as well. Course... he kept his job, at least for another 2 months, which yeah... if it was me, fired instantly.

It's not Nintendo that has the final say. Konami over the past few years has been an asshole about publishing their games, because "They want to be a Pachinko company now". Plus I'm sure there are a ton of legal issues especially with Kojima probably holding some rights to the franchise.

This is just my opinion, but while the heroes are fairly balanced, the connections aren't. It's the same with any online game. If one player is playing with a latency of 20 and another is playing with a latency of 60, the 20 will usually have the advantage. Obvious exceptions for pro players of course.

Doesn't help them that so many other games have come out since then that use Blizzards own system in a different way. Also doesn't help that if a person disconnects in a ranked match you can't get someone in to fill his spot, its pretty much a lost spot and your playing 5 v 6.

I like to look at it this way. We've spent billions of dollars on telling people the risks of cigarette smoking, yet for some reason people still do it. To quote Forrest Gump, "Stupid is as Stupid does".

Trump tweeting the White power! video was pretty much the last straw for me. Decided to start calling people out on it. Told him the fact that he was still supporting him was deplorable, and that he should be ashamed of himself.

Apparently this makes me the bad guy, though. Am I an asshole in doing so?

Been there. When I told my parents that I'm an agnostic and not a Christian, they chewed me out for it. We still are very close, but we'll never see eye to eye on that particular subject matter.

Word to the wise, go for the 4 gigs. As someone who deals with fixing and repairing computers, half the problem people have is that they just don't have enough ram to run the programs they want to. They think they have gotten a virus, but no, its just garbage ram that's running slow. I'd even go for the 8 gigs. Just make sure it doesn't say "Onboard". That never means anything good in the world of computers. Anything onboard is usually soldered on and a pain in the ass to replace if something goes wrong with it.

Also remember that laptops use different memory than desktops. 4 gigs of ram on a laptop doesn't equal 4 gigs of ram on a desktop. Your going to be experiencing slowdowns. My personal suggestion is to go for 4 gigs of ram, and a 120 gb hard drive. You can always add on to that afterwards should you decide to use it for anything else, or alternately, if you can use an I-Pad try and get a used I-Pad.

Chrome books have 1 tiny itsy bitsy problem with them. They use proprietary software, so basic programs like Word won't work on them unless you get the Chromebook version of Word.
