FTFY

Wow. So i'm playing Medal Gear Solid, i sneak up on a soldier and interrogate him. All of a sudden he says "Ek praat nie engels nie, laat my gaan". I had to interrogate him a few times to realize that i wasn't just imagining things. He was speaking Afrikaans. That was a super bad-ass surprise. Don't think i've ever heard Afrikaans in a AAA title before.

I really should play I cleared a 63 with my Monk yesterday. Gear could use some more optimization though. What are you playing with? Bought MGS yesterday. It's pretty fun. Alternating between that, Diablo, Binding of Isaac, and The Witcher 3 since they finally added the NG+ option. I have a monk that used to be top-tier "back in the day." I have an ancient Incense Torch of the Grand Temple and I used to DESTROY T6 no problems whatsoever. I could 1 hand play all day with no problems. Grifts icr but I think ~50s my defense was crap and I'd get shit on, but boy could I do damage. I haven't been following builds but by now I'm guessing my formerly OP build (when wave of light used to be baller) is no longer as good, if not horrible if they changed anything. Exploding palm stole the light when they released those new gloves that gave more damage, and idk what took over now :/ You should check out the Uliana's set. It's got a pretty fun playstyle it can push 70s if you're fully optimized.

Been in Greece like.... 2 and a half days now and i think i've already eaten 5kgs of pork. So good. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Kinda weird being here on my own for the first time though. Usually i can with either a family member or a friend. Feels pretty weird being here alone. The hotel im staying in this time is situated closer to the restaurants though, so i don't have to do much walking. Also sucks that i spend like 90% of my time inside a hotel room, but what are you gonna do...

Yeah it's the same in Qatar. You need something like 24 hours of instruction before you're eligible to take a test. The test is a complete joke though. I arrived in Greece a few hours ago. Been here ~5 times in the past 12 months, but every time i get here it's like i'm here for the first time. I really love this place, and despite the financial issues it has i could really see myself living here. Been thinking about applying for a job here soon as i finish my licenses.

I had the $50 T-mobile plan back in the US. Included unlimited text, calls, and data. First gig of data was 4g and i think then it went down 2g. In Qatar i pay ~ $35 for 450 minutes/messages (basically a message counts as a minute) and 1 gig data. If i recall correctly, Qatar is one the most expensive countries in this regard.

My unofficial, just now math, says 66+ hours for this week and if my understanding of California's double OT law is right, I also nailed 2.5 hours of double OT today. Also is anyone planning on trying out the Black Ops 3 beta? I thought about it, but the more i see game-play of BO3 the more i lose interest. I think BO3 is overhyped purely because it's a Treyarch game, and everyone is expecting another BO2. I expect BO3 to be the same disaster AW is/was.The game looks pretty terrible at the moment. Yeah, I really liked the BoI. Got platinum god but haven't actually touched Rebirth. Honestly surprised Rebirth got on the 3ds Eshop I've been watching BoI on Youtube for the past 2 years or something. For some reason i never bothered getting it. It's kind of a bad thing, because i know more or less what everything does but i have no personal experience with it. So i play far to risky for my current skill level. Deaths have been plenty. What part of Ops 3 looks bad? (sorry not sorry for the double post) Quite a few things in my personal opinion. 1. Specialist abilities. Basically just an excuse to reward bad players. I'm also not a fan of the instagib weapon(s?) some of the specialists have. And the rejack (i think that's what it's called) is basically second chance. Don't like it one bit. 2. The "advanced movement" or whatever Treyarch chooses to call it. I know it's not anywhere as bad as AW, but it's still too much. I prefer Black Ops 2 movement over this. 3. This is kind of stupid, but i don't like the way characters run in Black Ops 3. If you watch them run with a pistol in their hands, it kind of looks... like a retard running. Just looks weird. Also, it's too cartoony. 4. Guns sound terrible. They're back the the rusty bike chains of MW3. 5. Pistols are too good. In BO2 they were basically second primaries instead of secondaries. They seem to be the same in BO3. There are also a few things regarding competitive CoD that i'm not keen on, but since we don't know the ruleset yet i can't really say too much about that. I'll wait and see what it's like a month or two after release and decide if i want to go ahead and buy it, but for now i don't think i will.

Was browsing the Xbox store earlier today and noticed that The Binding of Isaac was now on Xbox. Apparently has been for about a month now. Decided to get it. It's pretty damn difficult. But it's so fun. I can really see why people love the game so much.

2:30am and i just had 3 burgers, fries, and a shake and i wasn't even hungry :s...

Oh lord...

Apparently this would dishonor the family, if she was to be touched by a strange man. So i guess it's better to just let her die, right? Happened in Dubai today or yesterday i think. Matric is the South African final year in high school. Not sure which of the two quotes troubles me the most...

You're suffering in extreme cold and i'm suffering in extreme heat. Every day is in the 40s now (at least thats what it feels like), with the humidity getting higher and higher. I've been growing a herb/vegetable garden outside so i'm working outside 2 or 3 hours each day and it gets pretty tough. I can't imagine what it feels like working in this heat for extended periods of time.

President Donald Trump, oh lord.

No, what i hate is people getting preferential treatment for some bullshit reason. And having an obese person pay for two tickets is not giving the other person preferential treatment, it's giving him the exact right treatment he paid for. Allowing a fat person to take up his own seat, and any portion (no matter how big or small) of a neighboring seat occupied by someone else is giving the fat person preferential treatment. But enough of that. I'm already sounding like Mojo-Jojo. Besied it's pretty clear that with my multi-cultural experiences, my views and opinions are likely to be a lot more realistic that the majority of people who probably never even left their own country, or even their own state.

I agree that getting shot or getting into a plane crash is once too many. But those things are also extremely rare. I disagree that sitting next to a fat person on a plane is once too many. I don't think it's that big of a deal. In an ideal world, that's how things should be. But in the real world, these kinds of things things do happen all the time, and they're going to continue to happen until the day you die. The longer you resist this truth, the longer you'll remain unhappy whenever the world treats you unfairly. Well frankly i don't have to worry about sitting next to a fat person in a plane because whenever i fly it's either first or business, or in the pilot's seat. But that doesn't mean it's not an issue i'd like to change for people who aren't as fortunate as i am. And it's your mentality that prohibits the world from progressing and becoming a better place to live. "Crime will happen. Get used to it. It'll happen till the day you die. No use getting upset over it." If enough people fight together, changes can be made. Or did gay marriage not just become legal?

Plane crashes happen rarely. Guess that means they're not a big deal either. Let me just elaborate. You're trying to justify something by saying "It's not a big deal because it doesn't happen often enough." Sometimes once is too many. These things should not happen at all. EVER. Essentially, when you're sitting next to someone who occupies even 1% of your seat, they're stealing from you. They're using a space you paid for. If they knows that they're unable to fit his large figure in one seat, the responsibility to make arrangements lies with they. No one else. Whether this happens once per flight, or once a year. There should be no difference. Each passenger has the right to equal comfort in their given seating-class (economy, business, first, etc.). Expecting someone to buy a ticket out of their class because SOMEONE ELSE causes them discomfort is ridiculous.

I never said it never happens. I said it happens rarely, which means it's not a big deal when it does happen. However, if you live in a special part of the world or have special traveling habits which makes sitting next to an extremely obese person a common occurrence for you, then obviously you either need to get used to it or change what you're doing such that this happens less often. I'm not sure if that's a real reply or if you're just dicking around?

Oh, that must mean it never happens to anyone then. You're probably right.

The chances of them occupying two seats, yes. But the chances of them occupying more than one, no.

With that logic you could invalidate almost every problem we have in the modern world. "You're hungry because you didn't eat breakfast this morning? Well sometimes your ancestors might have gone weeks without a meal!" "You're annoyed that the government is spying on you through the phones and internet? You should be thankful that you're able to carry access to all the world's knowledge in your pocket!" "You've been shot? Well if you were shot before the 20th century if you survived the almost inevitable infection then you probably would have lost a limb!" I think you're forgetting the first half of my post. You only remind yourself that things could be worse when the discomfort you're currently experiencing is temporary and statistically improbable-- like sitting next to an obese person on a plane. If you're hungry because you didn't eat breakfast, that's probably your fault and you're making mountains out of molehills. If you're angry about government surveillance, it's your fault that you're angry and you can either move out of the country or learn to accept it (or do what everyone else does and try to petition against it, remaining angry and unhappy for years and years) I don't think that complaining about getting shot is even remotely similar to complaining about sitting next to a fat person for a few hours :P That kind of proves my point though since it's such an extreme example. Well aren't like close to 70% of Americans overweight (~35% considered to be obese)? So chances of sitting next to someone so fat that they cause you physical discomfort is pretty damn high. So if you ask yourself what are the chances you're forced to sit to someone obese, the answer would be at least 1/3. Dunno about you, but those are pretty decent odds. I'd happily bet money on it. So by your logic any time you travel (within the US at least), you'll have to make special arrangements (cause hey, who's going to take chances with a 1/3 probability). I wouldn't be surprised if the US is the first country to start charging extra for fat people. They're the country to benefit from it the most seeing as they have one of the highest percentages of obese people, and one of (if not the) busiest air travel industries in the world.

Do me a favor and look at the second picture in the article i posted above. That guy is a direct threat to the safety of the passengers on that flight. Not only that, but he'll have an impact on the comfort of anyone that has to pass him during any stage of the flight. Do you think it's fair of him to sit where he's sitting? Do you think it's fair to the rest of the passengers? Let's assume they have to make an emergency landing, and they're forced to get on their hands and knees to crawl to the exit (to avoid cabin smoke). Do you think the guy will even fit in the aisle on his hands and knees? Very unlikely. So in this event, you're asking everyone on that flight to "just leave before take-off if they had a problem with it"? I'm not saying many people will, because sadly not many people consider this a scenario. But in the event of an emergency, if people were to get injured because of this, i can sure as hell assure you that they'll be saying "Why did you let the fat man on the plane if you knew he would jeopardize our safety?" The same applies to the Etihad case. Although he did not jeopardize anyone's safety, he did jeopardize another passenger's comfort. If anyone should have considered getting off, he should have. Or he could have done the fair thing and bought two tickets to fully support his large frame. EDIT: I do not mean to be condescending. I just get extremely upset about these things because so little people actually consider the safety implications these situations have. They're too worried about someone getting offended, that they'd risk their own safety and the safety of others.

I don't see how it is absurd logic. Since I now understand you don't have an understanding how a business works, particularly airlines, how would airlines logistically manage your claim based on how an airlines receives information from its customers? With your logic, airlines would have to ask the customer's weight whilst they are making a booking and adjust the seating plan accordingly which only then they may ask the "obese" customer to pay for two seats. How then, would that approach to managing this issue be solved with your logic? (theoretically I mean) as we both know you can't suddenly pay for two seats for both security reasons as well as the possibility of the flight being full. Also, the government would never allow this query from airlines based on Discrimination of customers. I also agree that obese people should pay for extra seating. However, I don't think it could be possible. EDIT 1: The flight for this Etihad lawsuit was full so they could not place him anywhere else. They even put him in the cabin crew seat for some of the flight so he would be less difficult. You're misunderstanding me. I'm well aware of the legal and logistical issues that are likely to arise. Unless you buy the ticket over the counter, there really isn't much you can do. What i'm saying is they should (if by any force it was possible) be asked to pay for two tickets. There are ways to go about this, but it'll make the purchasing process just a lot more tedious than it has to be. And you'll get the overly sensitive folk crying about discrimination, mistreatment, etc. Point stands (and it's an opinion maintained by the majority), if you're too [bleep]ing fat to fit in one seat the airline should charge you for an additional seat. If the flight is fully booked, your flight should be rescheduled. There should be no reason and no excuse for you to jeopardize the safety and comfort of other passengers. Again, this is how it should work. And i understand that because of an overly sensitive public, and people getting offended by the smallest of things, this is something that is not likely to happen. I feel i should say this at least a few times just so you're aware that i know a business can't do this without legal implications. Also, i find your edited text extremely funny. "so he would be less difficult". Like, are you [bleep]ing kidding me, hahaha. The guy spent money on a seat. He's unable to utilize the full space of his seat because of the enormity of the man sitting next to him. And you're calling him difficult? I don't even know what to say to that. That...i'm done.... Lol i'm just done. EDIT: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/11772741/Air-passenger-suing-for-a-back-injury-caused-by-sitting-next-to-obese-man.html Second picture.
