 Thank you DeWalt for introducing this totally real product which allows any drat idiot to skirt around the USA's already lax gun control laws. This is true progress.

I think I literally saw that when I was in middle school. I'm about 90 days about from being 26 years old now. What fascinates me is that tool gun thing isn't 100% artifacts. Edit: On a serious note though. Everyone talks such loving bravado about killing them intruders or whatever. I work on a farm and usually have a .22 rifle with me. Simple rimfire Ruger 10/22 Takedown. I carry it for fun mostly, sometimes I shoot squirrels or general pests on the property, more have it just in case a coyote or a real threat to the livestock shows up. Well we had a trespasser on the property one day and for whatever reason it wasn't with me, like random chance I didn't have it. He ran, cops picked him up, whatever. Even the loving vague idea that I MIGHT have had it with me and that I MIGHT have shot someone with a round that probably wouldn't have really done more than make them bleed but MIGHT have seriously injured or killed them hosed me up seriously bad for weeks. TL:DR. gently caress people who glorify shooting other people. Tracula has a new favorite as of 16:27 on Apr 26, 2016 |

Yu-gi-oh has to have a billion rules for every card to reproduce the insane, unpredictable bullshit that happens on the show that can only happen because some 3D holo arena decided it would.

Keep in mind with the Yu-Gi-Oh card that was shown: that's the recent version of the card, after they went back and rewrote all the old cards to be more clear.  EmmyOk posted:Ok now explain how Solitaire works because I used to just try and make it do the cool card shuffle sounds. Why is this so common? I mean, people will just add you randomly and then freak the heck out if you are AFK at any point, it's kinda insane.

Jippa posted:Like him or not it's true though. When the Native Americans were first hassled and harassed by Anglos brandishing cameras, the tribes are said to have resisted having their pictures taken, claiming that the photos steal the soul. Now that we are living in an age when every shithead wants to take a selfie with his own cell phone – well, it turns out that the Indians were right after all. Photos do, indeed, steal your soul. A man of dignity avoids being photographed. A man of character does not strike poses in front of a camera lens. A man of honor is not in a hurry to take a snapshot on every frigging occasion. The picture robs your very spirit – it exits right out your big idiotic, poo poo-eating grin.

Every time one of my "artist" friends shares that "At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA" post, I want to sit them down and ask them what they're doing right now to further their career/develop their craft. Because Tina Fey sure as poo poo wasn't loving around on Facebook all day waiting for Lorne Michaels to call.

This doesn't happen much anymore on my feed, but I feel similarly about people who complain about being single or lonely on Facebook. We can't all meet our significant others sitting in the dark in our underwear scrolling through Facebook.

I work in Yorkville, Illinois, hometown of Dennis Hastert. My response to the Target boycott bullshit is to just bring him up and how no one was lining up to ban congressmen from bathrooms even though that's a much more real threat.

I was going to ask if people ever meet others for dating/whatever on Facebook, but then I remember that I used to know someone who would wait for friends of friends relationship updates to go from "seeing someone" to "single".

I had a friend from high school who used to constantly talk every day about how he's waiting for God to deliver his love to him. And he finally got engaged with someone he's been dating for awhile! At least he isn't still dating a high schooler.

I don't know how you read it as someone sitting around doing jack-poo poo hoping to have life handed to them.

You're right that the intended meaning is more inspirational but it is absolutely co-opted by lazy morons. People quote the Bill Gates dropping out of university one though and in my experience it was always the people failing exams or doing poorly. When Bill left university it was because his parents were already pretty rich and could buy him a personal computer and he was advancing too fast for his degree course. Also Big Bill dropped out of Harvard not your local parish technical college.

Most of the people I've seen share it are the same people who constantly share "I want to get in shape but I just love food too much" macros. The long version of the "When Tina Fey was 23" post says things like "Morgan Freeman didn't get a MAJOR movie role until 52" which conveniently leaves out the lengthy theatrical/tv/background career he had before he hit the jackpot. Not to mention that when JK Rowling was struggling as a single mother on welfare, she was still writing her goddamn book. The post itself is a nice reminder that success in the arts requires godly amounts of patience, but it also requires godly amounts of work, so when that post just one of 5000 "inspirational" posts someone shares every day, it comes off as someone making excuses for themselves. And while Zen Pencils can suck it, even that guy is actually doing something, pretentious and unnecessary as it may be.

Gridlocked posted:Yeah I find it really odd so many Americans post crap about "If someone comes into MY home I'll kill them I can speak as someone who actually came pretty close to that. Long story short, one of the residents across the street turned an argument with his girlfriend into attacking both her and their infant daughter who was in the car seat next to her. I was already watching them because of how loud their fight had gotten and the guy had reacted very poorly when I threatened to call the cops, which is why I was able to come out and order him away from the woman and their kid. No shots were fired and the family moved out soon after, the latest in a long list of renters of that house. What I can say is that during the actual incident, I didn't really let any of that fear get to me because I was too drat occupied to think about the fear. I was too focused on what was happening to consider the impact of a potential decision to pull the trigger, or any other dangers ("What if he's got a gun and pulls it out first?" or "What if I miss and hit her?"). And then I got back inside and my hands were almost shaking too bad to hold the gun. All of those thoughts and fears came right after the danger passed, and the fight-or-flight response took a lot longer to chill the gently caress out. When you've actually made the decision to do something life-threatening, you can probably be expected to barrel through it with little or no hesitation. It's what comes afterward that gets you.

It's what comes afterward that gets you. I expect it depends on the individual, like how some people can function in a life-threatening emergency and some people go catatonic. "On Killing" by Dave Grossman covers the psychology from a military standpoint, if anyone's interested in the subject.
