It wasn't even intentional. There are two self check-out sections. The first has several smaller terminals for people with only a few items; the second section has terminals with conveyors for people with lots of items. The first section was filled but I noticed a guy leaving one of the terminals in the second section, so I headed that way.

There was a kiosk stand blocking my view and apparently a lady was waiting there in line and got peeved that I basically cut her and jumped into the terminal that was now open. I only had like eight items to scan and got done quick, but she came up as I was wrapping up and said "next time you might wanna wait in line, sir. You cut the line."

I replied with "oh, I'm sorry about that" and I guess it came off as disingenuous because she just kinda mumbled "of course you are." I wasn't trying to be a dick, though. Guess you're always the asshole in someone's story.

From what I've observed, CE isn't exactly kind to foreveralone types even when they're legitimate. But, for the most part that's because you can't really tell who's real and who's not. Comes with the territory due to the anonymity of the internet.

Even so, because what I just said is a generalization, there are many exceptions. There are some people here who genuinely understand, though it's tough to find them in the crowd of people who think they know what the problem is and how to fix it. They make it more trouble than it's worth to share about your problems, to be honest.

I think sometimes the issue is people listen with the intention of responding or diagnosing, rather than understanding. You can feel free to DM me at any point, if you feel so inclined. I check GameFAQs pretty much every day.

maybe but it's a war of attrition. you'd not get it right the first time, you could get it with mnemonics but not the way you described it.

I was inspired to make this poll after watching a video about Kim Peek, the real-life mega-savant who inspired Rain Man. He seemed to have a truly photographic memory, but he lacked a corpus callosum so basically his brain was literally wired differently than everyone, in a way no one would normally be wired.

In terms of the story, what do you think actually happened in the Blair Witch Project?





I think it's pretty cool to contemplate the spacetime warp. They were heading south for a full day or two and somehow still wound up at the same tree spanning the creek. Geographically it makes no sense. And the house appearing at the end could be the home of the serial killer from the 1940s, who put one kid in the corner while killing the other (which is what we see at the end.)

Yeah that's better than what actually happens.

Which is nothing. It's going to be like what it was like before you were born. That's weird and hard to comprehend.

I know what you mean. When I was young, I would try to comprehend the absence of the universe -- complete oblivion. Not sure why that was on my mind at a young age, but it was, and I suppose it's psychologically equivalent to trying to comprehend my own demise, but on a grander scale. Superficially one can say "yeah, the absence of the universe, okay, so there's nothing, duh, easy to understand." But I would seriously focus on it, close my eyes, and meditate on nothing. No space. No time. Just nothing. And sometimes I felt like I would get close, inching a bit toward understanding an unfathomable notion, something my mere mortal mind is incapable of comprehending -- but even that tiny, infinitesimal foray into grasping oblivion left me with such a profound sense of... I can't even really describe it. Philosophical terror, awe. It's an ineffable sensation.

Phelps's 2008 Olympics alone was amazing. 8 races, 8 first place finishes, 7 world records. Gymnastics is an opinion sport so it's hard to know who's actually the best.

True to an extent, but Comaneci deserved it, IMO. Check out her first perfect 10. That ending is flawless. (You may have to open it in a separate window on Youtube.)

He covers songs that are typically played or sung in a major key (which tends to sound happy), and covers them in a minor key (which tends to sound somber). I think it sounds very dystopian!

Josiah_Is_Back

OK so the 401(k) is set up to where if I take out a loan, it would deduct a few bucks from each paycheck over the next few years until the loan was paid off.

AFAIK, if I get fired, obviously there is no more incoming paychecks so the investment company would basically convert the remaining balance of the loan into a distribution, essentially retroactively declaring it a withdrawal, which means an additional 10% IRS fee would be charged (I guess deducted from the balance of my 401k), and I'd have to deal with the additional income tax from the loan amount now being direct income.

Is that right?
