Have you seen how good they can broom? I'd love if my wife was a professional curler person.

In real thoughts, I live in a poor icy city that has curlers curling in public in the winter and it's the most boring thing that I've accidentally stumbled upon. I'd really rather watch fat people run on a treadmill.

My cousin is literally an Olympic medalist for Canada for curling. Yeah.

Is it so hard to be there for your partner who is clearly blinded by grief even if you don't have the moment when you say, "I told you so, honey!" Just be there for her and spend less time posting about it on the Internet.

Yeah, when the reason the person is upset is because of a spoiled brat with no concept of consequences. I wouldn't be saying "I told you so", but I would be laying out for her just how badly things could go, and how it was the niece's fault. Just like this guy. Because if you can brace them for the worst, your partner will be less devastated in the long term. It's like getting a cancer diagnosis and telling them it's nothing vs. saying you have five months to live. If you say it's nothing, they're going to be blindsided.

Nah, motorcycles can, but bikes in a lot of places are supposed to be single file on the side of the lane, specifically so cars can pass without going in to the oncoming lane. It's about traffic safety and flow.

This is the truth. Back in the day I got a desperate job as a telemarketer selling "carpet cleaning appointments" (really trying to get people to buy overpriced vacuum cleaners). It was soul crushing and humiliating and paid $6 an hour plus commission, which I got once the entire time I worked there. They were always finding some reason to not pay commissions.

But at the time it was either be a telemarketer or have no money for the child I was raising. So telemarketing won.

I don't have the heart to gently caress with people who do that for a living, they have enough problems already. I guess schadenfreude is on me for being a poor?

I don't care about most telemarketers, but I will ABSOLUTELY gently caress with the criminal ones. Calling and misrepresent your company (you are not from Microsoft), or that I have a virus (I haven't turned on my desktop in months), you are engaging in criminal behaviour and while I can't get you arrested, I can save someone else.

I'm sure other posters can talk your ear off about it, but for me the main problem was that the action scenes never had any stakes or really any reason for existing. Which is a shame, because they genuinely did look pretty cool in a power metal music video sort of way.

In addition to the action being boring due to lack of stakes, the entirety came off very exploitative. It's one of three movies I'm actually upset I wasted time watching even though it was free.

You mean "breaks"? I have never had a "cigarette break" in my life, beyond sneaking out randomly when there's 2 minutes of slack time in the middle of rush with the blessing of my coworkers.

Every job I've had where people smoke they take more than their allotted breaks. Four smoke breaks on a four hour shift wasn't uncommon.

Who gives a poo poo? Are you their mommy, or their boss? If they're getting their work done and functioning, keep your big fat nose out of it.

The amount of productivity you get from a happy and mentally balanced worker who is able to take a breather when needed is SO MUCH MORE valuable than the 'lost productivity' of the breaktime, it's insane. And, the amount of breaks someone needs during a work day is going to be different from person-to-person, not something that can be systemtatically allotted in an effective way. And yeah, some people may go to far with it, in which case, if it IS a problem, let their boss handle it. And if you're their boss, seriously evaluate if it's having an effect on the team, or if you're just exercising petty control.


gently caress you, them taking 40 minutes worth of breaks instead of 15 which then the nonsmokers have to cover IS my business. It's retail, there's always poo poo to do, and what they don't do, I have to. An office environment where everyone has their own poo poo to do, I would not care.

Not telemarketers, scam artists selling fake computer fixing, don't misrepresent the situation, and personal time is different from work time. I don't gently caress around at work. And excuse me for not wanting to cover people for their addiction.

He's disguised as one of the enemies in the game, because each enemy can potentially drop their armor. So he collected the full armor set from that area, killed the guy that was standing there, and took his place. Then when someone comes in to invade, they have no way of knowing that the enemy standing there is actually the player.

When you invade another players world, the computer controlled enemies are on your side. So just standing perfectly still in that spot, dressed up in that armor, will fool an invader into thinking you aren't actually the player.

Except you can lock on to the player, you can't lock on to resident enemies. So those people are double stupid.

Yeah, WWE tables are gimmicked to break super easy, I think they're made of particle board? Japanese wrestling or the more hardcore American feds will use just straight up wooden tables that will not break as easy.

Speaking of tables I remember a story of some indie fed, I THINK it might have been CZW? Where they had a match where they lit the table on fire.They poured lighter fluid all over it and when the dude got smashed through it, the fluid basically ran down onto his body and he got awful 3rd degree burns over his chest.

Not gimmicked, just cheap. They actually use the tables to bleed momentum. Makes hitting the floor/mat hurt less.
