Board 8 > Corrik Talks Topic. Vol 1.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well to start off, I am probably at the tail end of Mass Effect 2. I have again failed to woo anyone. And, after having completed all loyalty and recruitment missions am diving down the end game, I assume.

Mass Effect 2 spoilers
I have achieved most achievements I was looking to besides nailing a chick. Tali came onto me and I hit the wrong option accidentally to say I am interested too. Likely fucking that angle up. Miranda still won't talk to me. Kelly never gave me an option and has now disappeared. So, oh well. Oh hey Wrex is apparently a clan leader now!

One thing regarding Mass Effect 2 that I do not understand is the Omega Relay. Why does it even exist? What is it's purpose? I mean, if you can't go through it without dying then why does this major structure even exist and why did someone even build it? It seems like a truly pointless thing to exist.

Group Pool Predictions.

1. Uruguay
2. Egypt
3. Russia
4. Saudi Arabia

Yes. I predict Russia going home in the group stage of their home event. Possibly some shinan gets them through though.

1. Spain
2. Portugal
3. Morocco
4. Iran

Should be pretty straight forward here but never underestimate Portugal's ability to underperform.

1. Peru
2. France
3. Denmark
4. Australia

This could get ugly in this group.

1. Argentina
2. Croatia
3. Nigeria
4. Iceland

Don't sleep on Nigeria sneaking through.

1. Brazil
2. Switzerland
3. Serbia
4. Costa Rica

They shouldn't even play this group. Easy group.

1. Germany
2. Mexico
3. Sweden
4. Korea

I think this prediction is going to get messy. For some reason, I expect Korea to turn some heads.

1. Belgium
2. England
3. Panama
4. Tunisia

*Yawn*

1. Poland
2. Colombia
3. Japan
4. Senegal

Poland choking and finishing last here wouldn't surprise me either. Predicting not last place Japan!

Really? That is kind of cool. I definitely think I want to take a break from Mass Effect. I have started skipping convos at times. Which means, I need to switch it up.

Current Session of Pool League

APA Summer Session.

This is my first session back into pool league. Shoots on Mondays.

Week 1 result (team didn't show up). - Needs rescheduled.

Week 2 result We took The L

Match 1
Their 5 vs our 5. - Their 5 wins in a sweep. (4-0)

Result 3-0 (3-0)

Match 2
Our 5 vs their 4 - Their 4 wins without our player on the hill (3-2)

Result: 2-0 (5-0)

Match 3
Our 7 vs their 7. - Their 7 wins with ours on the hill (5-4)

Result: 2-1 (7-1)

Match 4
Me (3) vs their 3 - Their 3 sweeps (2-0)

Result 3-0 (10-1)

Match 5
Our 3 vs their 2 - Our 3 wins with their 2 on the hill (3-1)

Result 2-1 (11-3)

So we got our butts beat 11-3 in our first match! I got smoked as did our first 5. The good news is that us both that got smoked hadn't shot pool in about 5 months each. So, we were rusty!

Our 7 was up 4-1 and lost 5-4. Yikes! Oh well!

Week 3 Result. We win
Unfortunately APA moved our 3 up that beat the 2 last week to a 4. That hurt, however, that girl wasn't there this week anyways.

Match 1
5a (1st match 5 from last week) vs their 6 - our player wins without them on the hill (4-1)

Result: 2-0

Match 2
Our 2 vs their 3 - Their 3 wins in a sweep - (3-0)

Result: 3-0 (2-3)

Match 3
5b (2nd 5 from last week) vs their 6 - Our 5 wins without their 6 on the hill (4-2)

Result 2-0 (4-3)

Match 4
Me (3) vs their 3 - I win on the hill (2-1)

Result: 2-1. (6-4)

Match
Our 7 vs their 3 - 7 wins on the hill (5-1)

Result: 2-1 (8-5)

We win 8-5.

Their 3 was better than me in shooting at this point. I had to play a lot of safes to win. This team usually sandbags to keep their skill ranks down. Their 3 that shot our 7 was playing on a broken leg and was probably a 5 or higher in skill level. Joys of APA. Our 2 shot a 29 inning rack and had 3 balls left on the table at the end of it. Lolol

11-16 on season

So, I know it sounds relatively dumb, but I am super excited to see

Halloween

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7SGlkvttto" data-time="

It is probably going to suck, but I like the franchise. Liked Rob Zombies first remake, not his second.

I do not like the fact that they are retconning out Halloween 2 from the original storyline for this version though. Halloween 2 was just as good as Halloween 1.

(Lol season of the witch Halloween 3 lmfao)

who should the kings take at 2

who should the kings take at 2

Bagley no contest. Bagley is the best player in the draft and he is not getting the recognition he deserves.
---

I was hot on Luka because the potential with Bogdan together is huge, but I am a fan of bagley and more and more as we get closer to the draft. Ayton wont be available

I would not be too upset if we dropped and took Bamba but they could say the same for Bagley. And there is talk of trading it for Jaylen Brown (or more recently Kyrie). Kyrie would be amazing but he would need to extend his contract

overall I think Bagley is probably the best use, but it would be hard for me to be upset with the direction they go

I can't see any scenario Kyrie is traded to Sacramento. Like, why would they???

Bagley is one of the few players that wowwed me immensely in college and I was like damn this guy is amazing. And he is a Duke player and I hate Duke. Kyrie was amazing also when he played.

Taking my child to Kennywood tomorrow. Last I measured him he was like 41". I need him to be 42" so he can ride the jack rabbit and raging rapids. Any way I can get him to the 42" mark? Any kids shoes that can get him there? What other tricks can we swing to hit the mark?

Height requirements are a safety thing. What kind of parent are you to be asking something like this? Teach your kid to be safe, not cheat the system.

Also, what the hell happened in Mafia? I'm still confused about the rules on PMs and modkills >_>

The rule is you don't talk about an ongoing game unless it is directly in the game. Right now, you are asking about the game outside of the game with somebody who played in it, which is against the rules.

You should delete this post and be patient because the game is almost over, and then check in with the topic.

I cannot talk about that until the game.is over. I will talk about it when the game ends though.

I am not worried about height requirements on the Jack Rabbit that has been around for like 40+ years and requirements that never used to exist on a ride that didn't even used to have seat belts on it.

The raging rapids is literally you sit in a seat while harnassed in on a large circular raft. The height requirements don't even make sense for it. But, I understand they feel obligated to have them for everything.

Okay, that makes sense now. I was asking why Corrik got modkilled because I didn't understand the rules. All I wanted was an answer to a rules question since I want to play. Thanks to you all for clarifying. No point in deleting my post now that all three of you have quoted it. This won't happen again now that I know!

Alright, wanting to circumvent those height requirements makes sense.

Yeah, I wouldn't be trying to gain a possible inch on a ride that was out of his league. He might actually be tall enough. I think he was 41 without shoes. Can't exactly remember though. Kids shoes have a lot less underside than normal shoes though.

Everyone is bitching and moaning that Xbox announced the Scarlett project and that it will be out in 2020. I personally don't understand. New TV's and phones come out every year. I think if Xbox can release every 2 years the most powerful product on the market while retaining ability to play past games that it makes sense. Even then if your install base is 30 millions and your 30 million are willing to upgrade every 2 years, it is a good strategy.

Last I saw 39.1 million Xboxes sold and 76 million PS4s sold, btw.

Kathy Griffin is attacking Kevin Hart for not talking shit on Trump. Saying he is more worried about his ratings than attacking Trump as he should be as a "black man" and that he is a "pussy".

Since when does being a black man mean you see obligated to bash a President?

Someone on Twitter responded swiftly with, [What] does Kevin Hart being black have to do with this? asked another user. Some of the dumbest hot takes on race and politics come from white liberals.

I think I agree with this statement. I have seen white liberals talking about racism and race issues more than I have ever seen minorities talk about it.

Granted, this is comparing online to real life situations where people do not generally talk the way many people on this particular website do.

Then in addition, Kathy Griffin says her photo of her holding a beheaded Donald Trump is becoming more accepted and realized as an acceptable thing to do. = /

Radio speculation is usually always bs. Tatum and Brown being touchable is pretty hard to believe. Kyrie is because he wants to be a Knick.

Average height of age 4 boys is 40 inches. So if he is 42" at 5 months to his 4th birthday then he is hella tall for his age. That's sick.

So in Massachusetts, at a girls state open track meet there was two transgender girls competing in the girls side.

Both finished 1st and 2nd and obliterated the record for girls.

https://mobile.twitter.com/i/web/status/1003739370736816129

This is the race for 100m. The transgender girl also set the record in the 200m.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/31605/watch-two-transgenders-blow-out-girls-state-meet-hank-berrien

At least one of the transgender girls has not undergone any form of hormone therapy in any capacity.

So, with that said. I believe it should be the understanding of someone that wishes to change their gender that they understand that the decision could have repercussions in their life. One such repercussion is that it could preclude them from sports where the sport is physical in nature or is separated by biological sex.

It is not fair to girls who train their entire life to not be able to achieve something because someone who is born with a biological sex that makes them more able to physically perform is allowed to compete with them because they wish to.

That is putting the few above the needs of the many.

This is an issue where LGBT goals have come to head with feminist goals.

I personally feel the Democratic party will come to a split at some point in their party over the issue. The LGBT community itself is somewhat fractured in regards to the T of its organization itself.

Everyone should have the right to choose how they wish to live their life. But, choosing that, in my opinion, should not put that decision above the rest.
