Real life help & advice
Lift weights instead. Gives you tons of benefits and it calms you (repetitive motions, makes you pay just enough attention to keep your mind off stuff, releases stress and energy, etc.). Or try googling meditation if you want, I'm sure you can find a place more dedicated to it.

Wow, you're taking this way too seriously. Just tell Gamestop what happened and if that doesn't work (it should) tell EA. You've done neither of these things, so stop complaining. And how does Gamestop suck? I've used my local Gamestop since I was around 10 and they've never done anything terrible.

Free Healthcare for lawbreakers?
I do see some of where you are coming from, there are examples that I can give of victims being charged for violence against a criminal who was in their house to steal. If a criminal threatened my home and family I would want the law to support my actions to defend my property and loved ones, not arrest and charge me. However, there is a grey area here as suggested by Ginger_Warrior, where the 'arrest' is more ambiguous and evidence sketchy. One cannot make the assumption that the person is guilty of a crime until all information is put forward to the court. I think it is dangerous to assume that because someone has been arrested they are automatically a criminal. Our police and justice system is hardly infallible at the best of times. Consider those criminals that were not found out too, they accessed free health care etc. So what happens when they are found out and convicted? Do you bill them for all the times they have used health care whilst conducting criminal activities? Or maybe only those in prison should be denied? Where is the line? Yes.

I only play engineer to start on Noshahr and the choppers never do much damage before they get shot down by me or others. The other team has to willingly ignore it to let it happen.

No, they're deadly if the other team is filled with idiots.

<3 M1014 And can't wait to unlock MG36. It was by far my favorite in BBC2, is it similar in BF3?

Also, the University would probably demand that you all be graded on a curve (so that they don't look stupid), so the marks will go up a bit. Yes, she added 10 points for each of us to our essays, so my boosted grade was actually a 24/100. And I'm 15 heh Debate in the same history class one week from today. I have to argue pro Japanese-American internment during WWII. Every argument I've come up with for my own side, I've also shot it down from the other. What do?

Yes. It's like switching to HD from SD. PS3 players were forced to download it to play, and I did notice it looked even more realistic than before.

What book are you currently reading?
Omg I love Jodi Picoult too. I still need to read some of them though, I have loads though. Seventeen Minutes is one of my favourites along with Handle with Care and Change of Heart <3 I'll read Seventeen Minutes once I'm done. Best IMO are My Sister's Keeper, Change of Heart, and Plain Truth or Handle with Care. And she's coming out with a new one sometime in the near future, Singing on Home or something like that.

Free Healthcare for lawbreakers?
I'm kind of torn on this. I can't bring myself to say some people shouldn't be treated because then where do you stop/is that even okay in the first place, but it's also incredibly aggravating to know that these meth cooking scum are being treated by taxpayer (me to some extent) money and never giving it back. And of course the reason this crap happens is because of the drug policy here. So sick of it. I may very well move to Canada when I'm older. Still plenty of BS there but it's better. Also poutine

Feds Shut Down Megaupload.com
I just use a Youtube downloader, so unless they really want to go toe-to-toe with Google, I'm good.

F on history exam. 3 parts, 230 pts total, matching, multiple choice and essay. Matching and mult. I get about a 90%. Clearly knew the material. Essay is on why the US is or is not a democracy (lol US democracy). I write a decent essay with plenty of good examples (lobbying, electoral college, blacks and women unable to vote, Congress set up to cater to its own members, etc.). 14/100 points ALL OF MY WUT Apparently because we were supposed to use evidence that we learned in the last semester. Hmm, our units last semester? Industrialization/Immigration, Progressivism, 1920s, Great Depression/New Deal. Only thing I can find that isn't useless is the whole blacks/women unable to vote. I understand but damn I'm pissed. Why use crappy evidence just to fit a stupid guideline that wasn't made very clear instead of using good solid evidence that I know myself? I got ~90% on the other sections, so CLEARLY I knew my stuff just fine. Talked to her about it and she basically said lolnope. Not even one point back. This bullshit goes directly on my report card and it's going to [bleep] my semester grade which will also be on report card. All. My. Rage. Schools are intended to open up creativity and encourage making connections and branching knowledge. Not force you into ridiculous rules that will never be used outside of school. Oh, the best part is that this happened to other kids in my class. My friend, who I know is pretty smart and writes decently, got a 19/100 on the essay.

I love spamming frags and smokes into high traffic areas. Both of them cause damage and create chaos for the other team so my guys can go in and plant, although of course nobody ever bothers to do that. The last 5 times I've seen the MAV being used, it was exclusively to try to roadkill people. So annoying because it's actually kind of hard to hit.

It's not so great. A lot of people have it now and the second they see the mortar icon they switch to their support and mortar back.

Make your desktop be a message to the people changing it. I'll not suggest wording so as not to stress the thin ice I am on :rolleyes: Today I lifted again. Pendlay rows, deadlifts, twists, and pullups. I can almost do a full front lever. Today I also realized that the word "shit" is no longer censored by tif. Good decision IMO, but why? The world may never know.

You should make a homemade one before you buy one. I found that the vape effect is much less enjoyable than the effect from smoking. Different for everyone though, so try before you buy.

What book are you currently reading?
My Sister's Keeper for like the fourth time I [bleep]ing love Jodi Picoult. I've read The Pact, My Sister's Keeper, Plain Truth, Songs of the Humpback Whale, Handle with Care, Change of Heart, Vanishing Acts, and Perfect Match. Also just started Picture Perfect. I recommend every single one of these books.

No. Waiters don't get paid minimum wage because the law says they don't have to get paid minimum wage. It's the laws that need changing.

Tipping
Minimum wage is really the minimum for the vast majority of jobs. Waiters make less because of this whole tipping-makes-up-for-it crap. Prisoners make less as well, and I believe there are a few other jobs which receive tips and thus can make less than minimum. For the vast, vast majority though, minimum wage really is the minimum they get paid.
