...because telling someone you think they are fat and may get chronic illnesses because of it won't at all risk causing potential depression, body dysmorphia, self-hatred, confidence reductions or any other number of mental issues that could lead to eating disorders, withdrawal from the family or even suicide. Sounds like she has more serious issues than just weight gain.

Hang in there Ginger, you'll adapt quick enough. Worked a good amount of hours today and got a good amount of tips, which is good considering I have to pay a scam parking ticket of my schools' scamming union "police" force. You need a summer term parking permit, to turn in paperwork for spring term stuff. :roll:

Yeah, it's [bleep]ing retarded. What it is is people venting their anger onto others who can't retaliate: e.g. a cashier guy that wants to keep his job. Really pathetic.

This is one I want to try. I've seen Zemalf play it on youtube, and it looks like it has a lovely combat system, as well as a nice economic simulator side to it. I just...need the time. I strongly recommend it. Rhodoks for life! Down with Feast-king Harlaus.

I understand where the Disney-esque quotes would come from, but who in the [bleep] thought of the chopping off one?

Good luck to you RPG. Remember omerta and pasta-frolli and all that. I saw another interesting sight today, nothing "deep" but pretty badass: A MiG fighter plane or one of it's variants. It was flying low I thought it was a falling passenger line, but was just the MiG doing a turn at low altitude. Rich son of a gun to fly a plane like that.

Oh god, please no...

<pic> Hey, a guy can make a cliche deep observation once in a while. :razz:

Saw a bitterly ironic image today...a homeless couple were pulling their carts filled with their possessions up a curb, at the base of a giant flag pole flying the American flag.

It sounds nice, but the fact is you HAVE to find such a person who is WILLING to be mutual, cooperate, and behave reasonably. With EVERYONE seeking to find a marriage*, a lot of people are going to PROMISE you those things but have absolutely nothing to back them up. You going to risk that? *Ask anybody, 98% of them consider marrying and/or starting a family with somebody

Never seen TIF so depressing... Makes what I did today totally insignificant. Better not think about the size of the universe then.

It's not a white lie if the other person doesn't think that way. They might have big dreams and ideas of monogamy in your relationship...but if you don't talk to them you'll never know. And because you deliberately choose NOT to talk to them, I'd wager these girls wouldn't agree they're 'white lies'.

Still playing New Vegas...going to start a new character, with 75% more mods. I also got Terraria in a sale, but haven't gotten around to playing it.

The new franchise owners at my job finally came around that having too many employees at the store is not cost-effective. I lost two days, but I'm not complaining. Lost two of the dead, boring days. Other than that...mods. I really love mods. :wink:

I noticed I play about three at a time. A RPG: story-driven, immersing with the world, takes me weeks to finish...currently this is Fallout: New Vegas A Grand Strategy: Typically realpolitik simulation, takes me a week to finish or loose interest...currently its Victoria 2, was Crusader Kings a while ago A Multiplayer shooter: Adrenaline pumped kick assery, takes me an hour or so to satisfy my urge...currently it's TF2, was Planetside 2 a while back.

I only question such statements when they're presented to me so soon, like on a first date. Or in an introduction, or within a couple of days of knowing said person. Besides, what's the problem? I don't say it to their face, I do say my condolences in case it's in fact true, and move on with my life. If they're telling the truth, what CAN I do anyway? If not, I'm not wasting my time on an attention [bleep]. Here's my basis: people don't like talking about terrible experiences about their life. Why mention it on a first date with a new person filled with new happy possibilities?

Is it bad my first reaction was "attention [bleep]"?

Yes, they're just continuing it. Which is why I went away from consoles...too much advertising, too much gimmicks.

That is true, I don't know why I said to compete with the tablets. Stealing customers from the cable networks to the INTERNET. Online-everything is the future. That's the goal of the internet providers (Verizon, AT&T) and the online services (Netflix, Huluu) through the XBox hardware. The internet...charge the connections, bombard with advertisements, royalities... It's a businessman's dream. Which is fine, IF STATE-RAN CABLES WERE [bleep]ING UPDATED. [/personalrant]

But that's the point; To draw AWAY from the smartphone/tablet market (which MS does not have dominance), INTO the XBox market. These corporation's primary goal is NOT to make money, it's to get dominance in the market.

I'm going to refrain from continuing my previous post and focus on the immediate discussion. I believe the original thread was for cases of drunk women not having conscious of what they're doing. I believe if a woman does not want to be taken advantage of, however she'll like to define it, don't loose your self-control in uncertain situtations (e.g. Don't get drunk in a large club with lots of strangers, Do get drunk with well-trusted friends). And that is about as far as I go in giving some responsibly on the woman. Walking to your car in a dark parking lot is not her fault: she has no power to control the time of day nor any power to install lighting. Wearing a fancy dress, no matter how "slutty", is used to attract romantic response from males, not to attract rape. You do have the power to choose to get drunk and I believe, once intoxicated voluntarily you should have no say in the legal process.

It's still a confusing name that could of been easily avoided. But oh well, I'm not getting one. PCmasterrace Off to my Scriptwriting final, thank God this class is over...I really don't like the professor.

What emotional and psychological damage does rape do? I get the fear of not knowing what is going to happen to you (maimed, dismembered, or death) so would a kidnapping be the same as a rape? What in the act of a rape, besides the fear of the unknown, makes women feel "weak" and "worthless". Besides social values and stigmas, I got nothing.

Some people are better businessmen than whatever they're "supposed" to do. Like George Lucas. No self-respecting creative genius would create the prequels and CGI the thing like he did, but as a businessman...

We should start a War on Weather. It takes more lives than any politically-motivated action, probably combined too. But it costs too much education. Nah, not worth it. --- Barely worked today, the store was dead. Made off with a third of the tips I usually make. Not like I'm complaining, I got let off (much) earlier and now got more free time. To do what? Create Polandballs of course. Gonna borrow my sister's tablet and take a shot and drawing some of those.
