Nah I've made my peace with it, I don't let it bother me (mostly). I only posted here because I'm super bored at work. I used to be mad about the ongoing death of quality media but I now I mostly don't even pay attention.

I'm just doing the math.

Statistically speaking... it's going to suck.

I actually think this is bringing an enormous amount of attention to the issue, especially once this group goes to court/jail for it. Where else should this energy be spent? This isn't a new issue and it's only got worse over time. I think extreme measures are warranted.

This movement isn't suggesting we do away with regulation. It is providing options for people who literally have NO access to life changing medication because of the for-profit pharmaceutical industry.

Not sure if it got nerfed, I haven't played in a while. The throwing hammer didn't have great range but usually enough to throw it from outside of an enemy's aggro range. And the best thing about it was that with a fully charged throw it would knock down a lot of enemies, it was amazing to initiate combat with a knockdown from range and then run in and smash them.

It actually has a really long learning curve, if you didn't skate as a kid it will take you a long time to even be comfortable rolling around, let alone doing anything more. Kids have an infinite amount of time to practice and can take their boards with them basically everywhere, adults don't have the same luxury.

And the other part is, you will get injured. You might get lucky and be fine, or you might get unlucky and fuck your knee or ankle or wrist or collarbone for months or life.

It's a young person's hobby. If you're really keen then go for it, but if its an idle curiosity I think there are other things that you'd find more satisfying.

I ran dual greathammers with this and the smith's hammer that you can throw. One of the most fun builds I've ever played, insane damage and surprisingly fast for such a heavy build.

Why are you answering if you don't know.

Octopodes.

There are so many different types of internet brain damage intersecting here I can't even keep track.

Maybe I should start one, I'll call it Things I Learned From 35 Years of Nihilistic Hedonism.

In terms of impacting your life, weed is an addictive drug like meth or coke. It doesn't have the physical addictive impact of those drugs (i.e. you don't go into physical withdrawals) but it can have large impacts on your psychology and day to day to life. For a lot of people it is a massive demotivator and will prevent you from achieving the things you want out of life.

Treat it like an addictive drug. You have a problem, take strong actions to treat it. The good news is that it is much easier to get off than other drugs that have a physical addiction. If you get through 2 or 3 days without smoking the strong urge to smoke should fade. Get rid of your weed, don't have any in the house when you're trying to stop. Tell your friends that smoke that you're trying to stop and not to give you any or smoke around you. Once you've gone a a few days without smoking you'll be shocked how much less the urge is there. Go without for 2 weeks before you even think about smoking again, just to prove to yourself that you can do it.

But it's very easy to start again, so make some rules around when you allow yourself to smoke. Only use it as a reward for getting stuff done that day. Never smoke 2 days in a row. Every time you go to smoke, tell yourself out loud "I will not achieve any of my goals today".

lol you're the one who came in swinging with "for all I know!" "you could be lying!" as soon as I pressed you on a point. That's the definition of a bad faith argument, you're not acctually trying to engage with points of discussion you're just trying to "win" the conversation.

lol do you always assume anyone who disagrees with you is acting in bad faith? Whst a convenient way to shield yourself from uncomfortable truths.

No wonder you're desperate to lock someone into a relationship with you asap, you sound nuts.

Just reads like a non-native english speaker wrote it.

Watching Genocyber on acid when I was 19 left some psychological scars I still carry around. Highly recommended.

Paranoia wtf? I've formed my opinions from my life experiences, are you trying to tell me you've done peer reviewed research to decide what makes a good relationship?

I was with my wife for 10 years before I proposed. We have the best relationship of anyone we know. I know plenty of people who married after a couple of years and are fucking miserable.

This is terrible advice. Most people's "gut" reactions are heavily based on external influences like peer group pressure, media influence and upbringing.

Practice critical thinking.

If you're in a good relationship but they leave because they couldn't wait 4 years to get married, then you fucking dodged a bullet. Jesus fucking christ.

Find a skill based hobby that you love and practice it every week. Stuff like a sport, musical instrument, art, etc. The hobby itself will be rewarding but there is no substitute for having decades of experience under your belt for these kind of activities.

Also, don't have children.

We've all been there.

This is just about the perfect metaphor for the current state of the US.

This reads like it was written by a not very good AI, wtf.

I just reeled back in my chair, this is literaaly me.

I've been a programmer for decades and I still sometimes look at code I wrote 6 months ago like what the fuck was I thinking. Code is as much art as science.

Boo.

So Snowden is way behind the times and frankly his commentary is irrelevant

This is some heavy Dunning-Kruger.

First dance at my wedding.

Nundah is a success story for that kind of plan, the tunnel there transformed the main street.

These two having any kind of conversation would be fucking hilarious. Absolute opposite ends of the spectrum of narcisstic assholes, they would both go insane trying to out alpha each other while being completely unable to communicate in any way that made sense to each other.

lol only Melbourneites still smoke enough for there to be a black market in cigarettes.

That will have to do!

This looks amazing, any idea where its available?

"Educate the tax assessor" I'm screaming.

Bandcamp. Pay the fucking artists you listen to.

In Osaka last year on holiday with some mates, out at a bar and we're all pretty loaded and somehow ended up talking about the Fallout games (because we're all huge nerds), I assume pretty loudly. An American woman comes up to us and tells us that she heard us talking about Fallout and that she is a producer on the TV show for it and how cool it is to hear some randos talking about how much they like the games and that she's really excited about the show and how good its going to be.

Made our night, we're all kicking ourselves for not getting some kind of contact details off her because it would be great to message her and let her know how much we like the show.

The worst song ever written.

The mobile infantry made me the man I am today!
