  1. How come doing drugs and buying drugs makes them worse? They could either buy food, eat it, and be back on the street the next day, looking for more money, or they could buy drugs, get high, and be back on the street the next day, looking for more money. Edit - I live near San Francisco and Berkeley, so I've seen my share of hobos.
  2. I think we should make cat macros and year old 4chan catchphrases a bannable offense. But anyways, I think this has to be one of the best updates Jagex has released year. It actually motivates me to go for higher Slayer.
  3. Friend of mine lived right across from Jerry Garcia. She didn't find out until he died. :(
  4. I have Japanese Language class, then my friend's birthday party. Meaning I'll just spend the night smoking and discussing with my friends how we don't have girlfriends and our various reasons/excuses.
  5. I agree. After going through the wash hundreds of times they usually get softer and more comfortable. Although they do tend to rip easier too. :oops: I've found that doing this kills the elastic, any solutions?

    Paradoxes

    i dont get how that is a paradox, im familiair with the children's riddle but I dont see what would stop you from moving. You can only walk 10 miles. You walk 10 miles from your house. Are you stuck? I'd run home. Boo-[bleep]in-yeah. Serious answer: This makes my head hurt. I'm leaning towards yes.

    Google+

    I expected this to be the Blackbird equivalent of Google. I'm disappointed. But this is still kinda cool.

    I'm seeing B.B. King in April. :D
  9. iTunes is a horrible piece of software, and you can't replace the battery on an iPod. I'd go with a Zune.
  10. At least half the players on the other team only think they lost by 001. Okay, sorry, that was bad. Anyways, if I were on the losing team, I'd prefer to lose against a team who played their hardest the entire team. And I've been in a similar, but less extreme situation before.
  11. Its just for fun. This thread is here to just share funny stories. No need to post if you feel otherwise. This thread would have one post if it weren't for those people who feel otherwise. Half of the people use this thread to show how unfunny they are, and the other half points that out. Edit: Didn't see the closed part. I clicked the thread before you edited, I guess.
  12. That part confused me. Did they say why? Because they might have been completely fine with having a gay child, just worried about everything their child might have to go through. Obviously they were accepting or they wouldn't have been in a video. Perhaps the displeasure was at society and not their child. I admit I didn't really pay attention, but from what I gather, there was some sort of "flashback" of the kid telling his mom and the mom breaking down into tears and yelling "NOOOOOO". I'd assume that even if that was the case, they eventually became accepting. Even the most fundamental people would probably accept their child for who they are after a few years. And murderers aren't accepted and embraced. Usually. :? You probably weren't watching very closely. At least not closely enough to notice that the mom was crying most likely because her child was about to have a life of intolerance, a life of stereotypes, and just a life made unfairly harder because of something as trite as sexuality.
  13. You know, instead of posting this thread here, where there are people from all over the world, you should have had this discussion topic with some friends. You'd probably get a lot more feedback. If you leave it here, then people will just name bands local to them, which no one else will know.
  14. Hey there, next time you want to brag about something, be a bit more subtle about it, will you?

    Here, have some e-props. Ya know, you deserve them because of your obvious superiority to the fashionable person. [puncture].

  18. What's wrong with pirates? Edit - Jesus, calm down. Serious reply: Reb, wonderfully well said. I'm glad there's finally someone with enough guts to actually state that. It's long overdue.

    ^This poster sums it up nicely. ^ As for some fashion being expensive, it's because designers spend time designing their lines, and they need to make money somehow. And of course, the brand itself makes the clothing more expensive, but there is not way you can get the "same thing" of a $200 article for $50 unless it's on sale.

    I think that's subjective. I personally like the way raw denim looks, and the jeans themselves are good quality, but I can understand it if you don't like it.

    I care waaaay too much about fashion for my wallet's own good.
  22. this is where you're wrong. the GE is NOT right. true, junking stops people selling expensive items on ge because people are willing to pay more when there is junk, because noone sells on the ge because IT IS TOO LOW. as for the point you made about buying junk from other players, that is a redundant point. noone really buys junk from players; they arent that stupid. what they do normally, is either do slayer, godwars, camp at some monsters etc.... for whips, hilts, or whatever that monster drops, and picks up everything they know has a high ge price. they are nomrlally not after the junk itself but the good items. the junk is just incase they need it later. when you do pick up the junk, however, it is not yet profit. you wont use it, you cant sell it [yet] and therefore it is not profit because you get no cash for it. it becomes the profit once you add it to the trae. you took no extra time to get junk, it was gained while looking for another item. time is money, and they wasted no time getting the junk so they wasted no money the last point you made about buyingj unk in small amounts to junk an item, and the dif between min and max is 1m, why junk for 120k when you can buy min and sell max. the fundemental problem is that if an item is ever junked you wont get it min ge unless you have an offer in within about 5 seconds of a ge update, when its price changes. even then you still wont get it unless noone else offers max, because the item will always go on highest offers; if you have the highest offer but its not the earliest offer you wont get it. your arguament there is redundant yes, that may be true, but that is because, as i said, the ge price is wrong the only way people can get around it is with junking. let me put it this way. if you had gotten a good drop/clue reward before trade restrictions, would you sell it cheap just because you dont wana be super rich, or would you want to take the highest offer you're given for it? only an idiot would say sell cheap the dragon claws rising isnt simply because of cs'd claws. very few people duo td's with coinshare, they use simple lootshare instead because ge price is so off, using cs loses them potential money. the reason that claws rose is because jagex is [most likely] intervening to get the price at a good level. theyve done it before. they are doing it slowly because they dont want to overshoot and make the more expensive than they really are. they artificially boosted item prices before, ya know.this isnt unknown[/hide] walka please read the word i underlined i said i don't believe the G.E. is right and onward profit Definition The positive gain from an investment or business operation after subtracting for all expenses. opposite of loss. selling a product for exactly its median market value does not constitute profit for instance say you have 5000 yo-yo's that have a median value of $1 each your total net worth is $5000 though it's in product rather than money in order to profit you don't sell those yo-yo's for $1 each you raise the price to $1.50 and sell them thereby gaining you a profit of $2500 due to the fact that junk is sold at it's median market price, it does not increase your net worth and therefore does not generate a profit now back to the example from earlier say you come across a rare that has a median market price of 10m although player demand 50m including junk for it you can either spend weeks gathering 40m worth of junk and in the end have the exact same net worth(only now in shiny gold coins) or you can put it on the g.e. for max and make a profit of 500k you then buy it back at min for 9.5 m making your net worth now be 10.5m in 4 hours you have made a 1m profit say you continue this process for awhile(assume rare items buy and sell immediately which i know they don't this is a hypothetical analysis) this earns you 500k every 4 hours in 76 hours you will have successfully doubled your net worth 76 hours for a 10m profit or weeks for no profit what sounds better? also before trade restrictions i would have sold it for whatever i could get, but that would have been pure profit Edit: if anyone can successfully, and through logic prove me wrong economically i will drop this topic altogether Your examples suck, sorry. The point of junk is that you get it through trades made in the past. No-one selling an item tries to get tons of junk so that they sell their items for higher prices. The sellers already have junk because they're merchants, and they buy junk with items. Also, your method of making 10m profit every 76 hours is incredibly impossible. As you said, super rare items don't sell at max (or mind every hour. Try putting an offer at max for Dragon Claws in 2 minutes after the GE updates. You won't have a pair of Claws without some serious luck. And of course, since you bought it for max, you're not making any money if you sell it to people.

    Today...

    Today I went to school, learned about my finals, and smoked. Then I worked on my world history project. Okay day.
  24. "Torso is NOT better than Adamant" Anyways, I find that torso is worth it for a few reasons: 1) I like the extra hit. Sure, I may not be as efficient in my training, but hey, being efficient is one of my lower priorities on RS. Call me simple, but I like to see my high hits. 2) I get mad abs. 3) I'd much rather be wearing a piece of armor that's hard to get than a piece of armor like adamant. You just feel better about yourself. Not saying that these reasons apply to everyone; I'm sure there are people who love to be efficient, so an Adamant chain would be plenty.
