Yeah, bank managers are usually falling over themselves to give free poo poo to the customer that is closing an account. That makes perfect sense. Seriously though, whoever wrote that apparently has student loans that have yet to be paid off, and believes that doing so is going to make the bank so proud of him or her.

Holy poo poo that Japanese story is 2 paragraphs long and she still manages to fit "I didn't want to buy things for myself, just for my friends and family" in there 3 times. And the story eventually ends up being about her buying something for herself!

I like the idea that Jesus would directly intervene in a situation like this. Not to protect the innocent wife from getting shot, not to stop the mentally ill father from pulling the trigger, but to chat with a little girl watching her parents die in front of her to let her know that it's all good.

Also, there's historical evidence that Jesus did exist and was crucified. The point up for debate isn't his existence, it's his divinity. Even a lot of atheists know that.

If you go to Japan on a short-term study abroad program, it is supremely unlikely that you will give some kind of presentation to thousands of people, and 2. It is pretty unlikely to get a study or work visa for Japan without signing a waiver that you have X amount of money to carry you through the time you are there. $5 a day will actually be enough to eat on, especially if you live near a 99 Shop. Plus, all the best things in Japan come from Daiso, anyways. NotAlwaysRomantic posted:(I work in the camera department.

These stupid stories would be a lot funnier in a "haha no one would believe that" way if I didn't know that most Starbucks baristas get proposed to on a daily basis.

Perhaps I have completely misunderstood Christianity, but I always assumed it was important that Christians believed Jesus did get down from the cross eventually. Or did he spend his entire time post-resurrection walking around with two giant wood planks strapped to his back?

That guy doesn't even look black, and I don't see any clapping. Something happened to me today that might have been a good starting point for a STDH tale. I had planned to write it up as such, but now that I think about it, it was just a boring mundane occurrence and nobody really wants to read it.

meat sweats posted:The Consumerist is 100% STDH. Entitled people who hear what they want to when told that they can't just have whatever they want at whatever price they want and then use the Internet to bully stores into placating them. It's usually local places and not Wal-Mart that they gang up on, too. Except the stories about Sears. Honestly, you could have an item in your hands and Sears would tell you that they don't have it. I'm absolutely sure that store operations are just a front for holding real estate, selling overpriced services and loansharking through credit cards and financing.

I've had those exact same stats once, including roughly those lift numbers. The only time you'd be confused for a meathead is when surrounded by scrawny IT-students. 80kg is not scrawny for that height though, unless you are an American I guess.

I believe he was a judge. That part was STDH. I used to be really into MTG and tried to become a judge. I went to two events and participated, one of which was actually the Ravnica prerelease at the Seattle Center. We actually all met a few days before the Ravnica event and things were planned out ahead of time. For both events, however, the official judges wore their DCI shirts, where the people like me were required to wear just a plain black shirt and black pants.

There is no specific evidence of a Jesus, but that can have any number of reasons, for example 1) The Jesus we know is a mix of people at the time or 2) The event was not noteworthy at the time to write down. In religious 'discussions' the existence of an individual named Jesus that was crucified is usually accepted because from an atheist point of view that proves exactly nothing and else the debate gets too boring too fast.
