Its not fun to have someone repeatedly contact you when you are trying to heal. If he really does care about you, he will respect that you need your space as you try to distance yourself from these feelings that you have for him. Maybe let him know that since you two are broken up, you will need your space? I know, easier said than done. Its good to vent and get your feelings out! 10 days is good, the feelings will see-saw but keep going with the no contact! Some of the best advice ever given to me during last year's breakup (lets hope this doesn't become an annual thing lol) was to "baby" myself. Remember the things you love that were all yours before the relationship? They still are yours! Your interests, hobbies, and beliefs that make you you are still yours. Make sure to cultivate them! Good Luck! We are all fighting through this together. |

Come on we know the reason someone wants something treated. It is usually do to discomfort, pain, or not wanting to have it. Again, my mother's surgeon never once said, "What's your reason for wanting this malignant tumor removed from your body?" Kind of a no-brainer. I'm not saying don't take a thorough medical history. That's absolutely important. However, since abortion is still legal in this country, it's not necessary to ask why on a form. While I was in school, I was told never ask "why". It implies judgment and makes people defensive. | dbeagf7 | ['d5f6daa9-0e31-9f56-2438-d68098b0e71c'] | I called today and actually spoke to a human being. She was very nice and tried her best.

ch49a57 | ['d603c949-1547-eeb7-c7c1-f0acffcd3f95'] | I am in a similar boat, except not as intense. My parents are always doing little digs or passive aggressively telling me that I am making a big mistake. They made it clear that they always want me around and will love me no matter what but that my sexuality, future partners, etc will never be accepted. I would suggest talking with them and saying how these little digs are both unproductive and harming you mentally and that if they want to have a conversation you should have it in a proper way. Maybe discuss options for compromise if any. If they really don't want you as a part of their life, then inform them that you agree that you need distance and you will move out as they can. You need to make sure that you are limiting the venomous interactions that they are having with you. Right now you have to be selfish, and if they are going to be stubborn about this, that is your choice. You will probably be in a better place to bargain when you move out, but right now focus on limiting any damage. | e85ufb4 | ['d603c949-1547-eeb7-c7c1-f0acffcd3f95'] | Totally agree with this point. Was just in Seattle for a few days and stayed in a hotel with a two way bike lane out front that was almost exactly the same as the set up on Baronne. They put an elevated curb and well marked signs that indicated a drop-off point for the hotel and there was no problem even though the road saw much busier traffic than we see on Baronne. &#x200B; I hope that they take what they are learning with the implementation of this lane and continue to improve. |

Then she gets a shallow latch, I take her off and try again and the cycle repeats til I give in and just let her nurse with a painful latch. These photos were using the laid-back position and that's actually the widest I've seen her mouth.

So I made a post recently about my struggles with finding DSA keycaps set with my Quickfire TK UK non standard, bla bla bla. Basically I took a strategic retreat and bought a Novatouch TKL, selling my CM QF TKL, have ordered appropriate DSA keycaps - now I need a numpad. Not sure I'm ready for the emotional and financial journey into finding "the one" numpad, keycapping it, etc. So, I have £15 ($20) to buy a numpad, I don't care too much but would like wireless. That said, I don't wanna let you guys down and say I didn't at least try to get something decent. Any recommendations given these parameters? Or just stick with a decent 4.5 star Amazon membrane affair until I can invest time and money in something else?

So if I want to sell on the keycaps for more than cost price ($55/no. of keycaps * no of keycaps sold) I need to wait until I have them and then post with timestamp and my offer?

cha7kne | ['d61b93c7-d697-dd47-1710-536d1cc72cbc'] | I use ADP data as a helpful guide for draft strategy. Combo that with your own player rankings and use it to navigate the draft. For example, I have <PERSON> ranked at a top 15 WR in 2014. ADP data has him in the 20's going off the board in the 70's. Normally a WR 15 may come off the board in the 4th. If I know his ADP is in the 70's I may wait until the 5th to grab the player assuming he will still be there. It's generally hard to seperate ADP from expert opinion however because one influences the other. If all the big "experts" are recommending a player in the 1st (see <PERSON> in 2013) that player is likely to go in that area. | cka6uma | ['d61b93c7-d697-dd47-1710-536d1cc72cbc'] | The average score needed to win in a 50/50 is approximately 125 on Fanduel.

But he blamed them when he didn't have a GF. When I once scarred his hand on accident during athletics he tried getting revenge on me(he failed miserably). That was because his crush complimented him on having soft hands(Idk how a scar would unsoften hands). I got a girlfriend about 1-2 weeks after and he walked up to her, said he fucking hated me, and that she was a horrible person. A few days later another one of my friends(female) was telling me she went to his house to be polite(she is really kind), and how he said, "Will you blow me for $50?" and she said, "That's fucking disgusting, no! "To whiched he whipped it out anyway and she immediately left. So far he hates her now too. He had been like that for 2 years. I got revenge though. BTW there is no hope for him, I've tried helping him and it didn't work. He has become even more of an incel than before. At this rate I think he may never live a happy life and I honestly no longer care what happens to him. I even have a recording of some conversations but I'll respect his privacy. Even though he hates me even more now that I have a GF and I think I might be dating his crush. Opinions? |

It turned out that no one had taken down the Sacrament from the previous ward's meeting, and no one thought to "set up" the Sacrament for our meeting. So when the priests got ready to break the bread during the Sacrament hymn, they noticed that the bread was already used, and needed to be replaced. They ended up preparing the Sacrament during the hymn, then the Bishop had to announce that the talks would be first, then we would have the Sacrament after. The best part was that it happened during a ward conference when the stake leaders were present. | cmrd485 | ['d631cfec-2ee8-4166-5b59-fd48e1e1ca6b'] | There are already enough political parties out there for nearly every ideology. The US system is biased to favor two major party's, a right center party and a left center party. Each major party has to be broad enough to get support from the people in the middle. Instead of a flat tax on income you might want to look into the fairness of the Fair Tax proposal. Instead of taxing income and investment, we would tax consumption, through a national retail sales tax. The IRS could be eliminated, and would promote conservation and thrift. |

It helps put things in perspective. Thinking about structural racism in personal terms makes it easier to empathize. "I am rarely pulled over by the cops but I were black I would be pulled over regularly" is more powerful than than "It sucks that black people are pulled over regularly", or at least it is to me.

It would seem, from my point of view (not speaking for anyone else) but with EA shutting down 2 mmos and moving a majority* of there teams to Bioware Austin, it would seem that something is in the works. With how slowly Austin has been putting out new content over the last year and the amount of $ they have been earning, it is quite strange with the current size of Austins team and funds that so very little is being invested back into Swtor. Also with them hiring <PERSON> back and only making a breif announcement about it, was also a tad strange. I know that ill most likely get hate for saying this, but "IF" EA/Disney ever decided to invest in making another MMO in the Starwars universe, it would make sense (Investment wise) to base it around the time of Episodes 1-7 because of all the hype around the future of the Starwars saga.

It hasn't passed that much time in the world of One Piece since Fishman island and Dressora, a WEEK TOPS, probably 2-3 days. <PERSON> and <PERSON> said they're meeting with <PERSON> in a few days for the tea party, so she's probably waiting and getting ready for them to arrive, it's just that <PERSON> was on their path, they had heard, seen the transmission, video about <PERSON>, and decided to appear in effort to take him with them. <PERSON> took out 2 of their ships, probably the size of this one they're having with different crews (fodder to us readers, but in their crew not so much) I never said they were low tier in the grand scheme of One Piece world, just low tier in BM crew. They were scared shitless when she spoke to them, while people like <PERSON>, that 3 eyed chick, and probably a whole crew more aren't scared. Just a belief. |

And where Prinz was a drop on E-5, if I remember correctly. Also, people sparkle because high morale gives a bonus to evasion. This is pretty much why people take 20-30 minutes sparkling their combined fleet: it's so they don't waste time later retreating. |

dldrydu | ['d656fcd0-22e0-0c91-82bd-2e3fff52740d'] | I highly recommend watching either <PERSON> or <PERSON> streams. They are very insightful on the support role and are a blast to watch. As a support you are tasked with mitigating damage, setting up kills, and peeling for your team mates. I think a HUGE part of being a good support is knowing when to use abilities and when to save them for peeling. Unless you are playing baccaus, ares, cabraken you really want to just build all health/protections/aura or CDR. Id give you some builds but as the support your build should always be based off of your team and the enemy team comps. Does the enemy team have a lot of physical damage? Build <PERSON>. A lot of CC? Build Gaia and a robe. Counter building is key to being an awesome support. Rotation is another huge part of playing support. Rotating is something again can be better learned by watching a pro support player, but around early mid game you want to rotate over to mid and let your ADC just farm his lane. Travelers boots is pretty meta right now as it allows you to move between lanes so much quicker. Late game you want to initiate your fights with your solo laner as the front line. Always be the one to tank the objectives and towers if diving and just support the rest of your team. It's a tough and thankless job but I personally find it super rewarding. Anyone please feel free to correct me or build off of this. Smite always needs more support mains haha | dldt5rf | ['d656fcd0-22e0-0c91-82bd-2e3fff52740d'] | Early clear is pretty important in this snowball meta right now. If your ADC is someone with weak clear (<PERSON>, xbal,etc.) maybe pick <PERSON> or <PERSON>, this will help to keep you out of your own tower and allowing the enemy team to steal your buffs. It's always situational but you usually wanna be there to take the purple, red and gold fury objectives. If you have your lane pushed up on the enemy. Go take gold fury harpies for the Xp or your buffs, maybe even check enemy buffs if you know where the jungle and mid laner are. Pretty much if you know a buff or objective is up and you have your lane pushed up so that they would need to clear a whole wave to catch up, go get the buff. Always get the buff with someone else as usually it won't be worth the time and health to take a buff by yourself. |

For a smaller group or solo trek in the future, I would definitely consider finding something that doubles as a cookpot. |

And then she got let go? There were two opportunities to swap her out for a host: the first and second time she encounters MiB. <PERSON>, <PERSON> is right: it's a little too "lucky" for her to just randomly find her father twice. On top of that, if the original <PERSON>'s goal was to go to Westworld and take it down, why was she faffing about in Rajworld? Her coming to Westworld was entirely an accident -- yet simultaneously she was also a secret double agent? Unlikely. The way the writing is, I honestly believe that the real <PERSON> was in Rajworld (why would <PERSON> have <PERSON> be a host there to be guided over to Westworld? Feasibly only to hide her from <PERSON>, but that's a stretch). From there, we follow her to the ghost nation. I am unsure if it was the real <PERSON> that found <PERSON> the first time, but I am pretty sure it wasn't <PERSON> the second time for the reasons I mentioned. I don't think there are no stakes here. It makes it that much more impactful when <PERSON> encounters the real <PERSON> later. She won't know what he did, but he will, and that is Q U A L I T Y character development if I ever saw it. Those that are insisting <PERSON> HAS to be dead, so far as I can tell, are those that want <PERSON>'s character arc to end in season 2. For a longer character arc over future seasons, it makes sense to make a play like this to develop his character more slowly and leave <PERSON> as a character for later. |

I guess the best ones are the older patients who constantly moan in pain with every little movement. But only when the nurse is around. I’m shy and I don’t like bothering people, so I’ll clean rooms as quickly and quietly as possible. Sometimes a patient won’t even know I’m on the other side of the curtain in their room (only when the patient is in “bed B”, the farthest from the doorway). I’ll hear them moving around, getting up on their own, eating their meal without any fuss. But the *second* a nurse walks through that door, “ohhhhh I’m hurting so much, I can’t reach the buttons on my bed, can’t change the channel on the tv by myself, can’t cut my food because my arms hurt, can’t get up to go to the bathroom ohhhhh woe is me”.

I was surprised to find that, unlike something as irreducibly ineffable as the experience of seeing red or green, I could almost dissect the supposed "feeling" out of existence - did I miss anything? *** As I try to look closely at cases of control, it seems to be a series of events that exist in time, like a little repeating movie template. So it's not really a single sensation or thought so much as a rapid series of sensations/thoughts glommed together in a characteristic way. The first sub-event is that of some particular thought seeming to be associated with more of a feeling of urgency than other thoughts - in this case, the thought is "I have to do something to demonstrate control so I can examine what it feels like". This thought tends to be accompanied by a sensation of unease/mild agitation, like that that goes along with suddenly seeing a stop sign at the base of a hill while driving down it. This "urgent gotta do something" sensation/thought combo always, AFAICT, precedes an action that feels controlled. So, this thought that "I gotta exert control" or "response required" is always either triggered by uncontrolled external circumstances or uncontrolledly drifting up into awareness. Next, I get a series of thoughts of possible things I could apparently choose to do, actions like (in this case) "I could move a hand" or "I could move a foot" or "I could make a sound" or "I could actively choose to continue to not move". Whatever "control" may be in itself, these "previews" are not themselves controlled - they just appear for me, like 8 ball answers, or as if some audience were shouting them (credit goes to <PERSON> for pointing that out - not to endorse him generally necessarily). The next part of control seems to be the sensation of the idea of one of these possibilities becoming more vivid, more detailed, sort of growing in my imagination like some tourist destination viewed from an approaching tour bus. This sensation, of the idea of doing something becoming more vivid and detailed, does not involve what I think of as "control" either. And ... that's actually about it AFAICT. By the time I'm aware of one of the possibilities growing more detailed in my mind's eye than the others, I'm just aware that "I'm" already doing it, without any real sensation of "choosing" to |

Don't ever tell women any of these other things on a date. Any guy that says "I'm not like most men" on a date just sounds like a raging asshole with a superiority complex. It might do you some good to realize that these things alone don't make you special, there are plenty of wonderful guys that have all these qualities. In all honesty, most men I have gone on dates with are pretty gentlemanly and respectful. I don't think a typical man is a douche that wants to fuck, cheat, and run. Try not to sell your own gender too short, there are lots of great guys out there. | cqk6bqs | ['d6742c22-5b2e-fd1c-3c37-abe2acba5517'] | An inch of length makes almost no difference. Unless it is a big enough penis to reach my cervix or too small to reach my g-spot it basically feels the same. Girth is far more noticeable, a larger girth leads to some clitoral stimulation during penetration and a nice full feeling. All in all size means basically jack shit though, it is all about how well you can hit the right spots for orgasm. |

I was in a masters program with plans on being a elementary school counselor and needed to do volunteering in the field I was planning on going into. I'm about a week in and the school is having an assembly magic show, so naturally I go and enjoy the show like the rest of the teachers. Right off I'm creeped out by the magician because he didn't talk throughout his whole appearance at the school (pre-post show) and had an extremely flat and almost supernatural aura about him, he had the most piercing stare he'd do throughout the show too. Considering its a elementary school and your dealing with 6-11 year olds you'd expect him to be extra jubilant and comforting. All of these notions were brushed aside considering I was in a new setting for me. He does this magic trick that absolutely HAD to be impossible, one where he looks like he's reading a big book and than sticks his head into the book and has his freaking head reappear out of a top hat placed on a treasure chest/ magic box that at most could fit two soccer balls in it(it was on a table with legs you could see right under.). I'm impressed but still that's how a magic show is suppose to work, anyway the assembly is over and it is the end of the school day ends when I see him walking towards me in the hallway and I'm anticipating the meet to tell him how good the show was but he turns into the bathroom before we meet and I end up talking to a couple of teachers that happened to be in the hallway at the time. I keep my eye on the bathroom door as I'm talking to them so I could catch him coming out but he never does, I walk into the bathroom nothing.... now I'm semi freaked out...But that wasn't it, the next day everyone is talking about the magic tricks and no one could agree on what trips were actually done at the show. I watched the whole 15 minute show and everyone had a different set of tricks a lot of them being ones that another person didn't see at all. I decide I'm gonna hire the guy for my nieces birthday because I'm honestly intrigued and wanted to see him perform again so I go to the office to get his contact info but I learn that there was a scheduling mix up and they never even booked the guy that showed up or have any idea who he was because the actual preforms called in to ask if they could reschedule because the school had "called in and canceled". Everyone in the office is confused and it turns out he was suppose to come to pick up a check but never showed. It was really a weird happening that I think about ever so often super weird. |

cz5pc9u | ['d69a25a0-cbf1-4879-3a3f-38b56c58f716'] | I would say this is pretty difficult for <PERSON>. <PERSON> heavily relies on her ability to edge guard which against a good <PERSON> is nearly impossible. <PERSON> has very good recovery distance and his up-b cannot be challenged from the front. Basically <PERSON> has to hit a smash, get damage in the 160's, or get one of the bair-bair-bair combos that bring them all the way to the blast zone. Additionally <PERSON>'s up smash will kill <PERSON> insanely early. I did some testing on FD and <PERSON> died from a non-charged Squirtle up smash at about 16 percent LESS than a fox up smash (The traditional <PERSON> killer). Now this isn't to say that it is all in Squirtle's favor. In neutral puff's aerials will beat out most of Squirtle's safer options. Meaning that while <PERSON> rarely gets any of the early kills she usually relies on, she will actually win neutral enough that it is reasonable to kill at 120-160 most stocks. Over all I would put this at about 60:40 Squirtle. | cweunhh | ['d69a25a0-cbf1-4879-3a3f-38b56c58f716'] | Ya unfortunately from my experience this is kinda the only real solution. I have 3 roommates and we all play smash. But I started going to tournaments and got better, which in turn almost caused two of the three to quit after 10 or 20 losses in a row vs me a few days in a row. If you are playing someone who really wants to learn and compete, they probably are down to lose even 10 or 15 games at a time. I know I sure would, it's how I learn best. But for someone who's just having fun: it sucks to lose to what feels (though never is) a ridiculous overpowered character or strategy. I never play any of my mains at home anymore, which is unfortunate, but we're back to having fun playing smash, so... |

Unless VR was what Valve was waiting for to start making games again, they likely won't either. I'm sure there will be a lot of indie devs on PC who would like to take a crack at VR, but the much smaller market PC VRs will have (as PCVR is at least twice as much, in addition to only being an option for highest end gaming rigs) will likely mean a lot less funding for games compared to PSVR.

All of these differing ideologies lead to the Faction Wars and the forming of the aforementioned Consensus as far as we know at the moment none of them hold a majority, but they could and thus further armed conflict is prevented.

You can have east and west players and there is no cap to how many guilds or players you can organize while being a pirate. There is nothing stoping pirates from owning castles given that they have the systems in place to siege,.They are restricted into going back to east/west but I have seen it done. A good example would be the Pirates who are on Aranzeb right now. | cg8gwzv | ['d6b08071-5c81-6f2c-6257-ea7fc4e99397'] | The only reason I agreed to that match was because it was suppose to be played in esamir.

ddu2fg1 | ['d6b6ed8c-84b9-8cc4-0d52-2b7b5706c6f4'] | 1) When I hear a creeper's 'hissing' sound behind me, I *instantly* panic and reflexively start sprinting forward, before I can consciously register what's going on. What I'm saying is that yes, I find the game's sound effects to be immersive. I think they have to be, to induce an instinctive reaction by sound alone, without consulting my conscious mind first. That's the most prominent example I can think of, but there are others. Immersion isn't just about having a soundscape, birds tweeting and wind blowing, leaves rustling, etc.; it's about making you feel like you're there, and sounds that genuinely inform you about your surroundings are great for that. Hearing a monster that you can't see yet can inform you that danger is closer than you thought, or hearing water flowing on the other side of the wall while you're in a cave can let you know that there's probably another cave running adjacent to the one you're in; alternatively, you might hear bubbling lava on the other side of the wall and realize it's probably a bad idea to dig that way. 2) No long-winded answer for this one, I just don't find the sounds too repetitive. I can actually find them weirdly soothing sometimes, zenning out to a thousand thousand 'pops' of breaking blocks of stone while mining out a huge underground room. 3) I enjoy the rarity of music in Minecraft, though I don't know that it's necessarily *immersive*; the game gets perhaps *too* quiet when you yourself aren't doing anything. Minecraft has some very informative sound effects, as I talked about earlier, but while I also said earlier that a fitting soundscape isn't the end-all of immersive sound, it certainly helps... and Minecraft doesn't really have one. There is no wind, no rustling leaves, no creaking trees or chirping birds. If you or a nearby creature isn't actively making noise, then there kind of just *isn't* any noise. I like being near flowing water or when it rains because of that; it's a passive, environmental background sound in a game without many of those. | cs5inkn | ['d6b6ed8c-84b9-8cc4-0d52-2b7b5706c6f4'] | hah yeah, the funny thing is, the lady only asked for $20 at first, and it came with 10 (albeit all crappy shovelware) games, and my brother straight-up told her that's too low, lol.

My acne significantly improved! | cougu4e | ['d6b7bf16-123f-3836-994a-833ce0a3e8d3'] | So i have dry and very acne prone skin. My current regimen is based around a gentle cleanser (AM/PM), benzoyl peroxide (AM), 0.025% retinol (PM), and cerave cream (AM/PM). I'm realizing that I most likely need to be exfoliating with this regimen as my acne has still not decreased after four months. It's cleared but still seems a bit angry. Im cautious about incorporating a BHA/AHA into my routine with the retinol. Just worried it would completely burn my face as my skin is already so dry and frail from the retinol. any tips? //also, i hear BHA is good for acne prone skin but AHA is good for dry skin. I have acne prone and DRY skin...so which one should i be looking into? //one last question! how long after starting an AHA/BHA product (assuming they're at the correct pH's for exfoliation) does the skin actually begin the "sloughing off" process of the dead skin cells? |

That would be 200 kilos per 4 months (roughly). In the US, it's generally $10/gr for the good stuff. 200,000 * 10 = 2,000,000. That's $6,000,000/year. This could actually be worked by one person. Electricity would be about $40/m^2 per month. That's $96,000 year. Nutrients would be about $96,000/year. Add another $30,000 for site rental. total expenses = $222,000. Net profit = $5,778,000.

Only reason I was looking at buying is because it is within my price range, and I would like to start accruing equity.

Based on his valuation I'm assuming either they didn't think he was worth moving up for and giving up other potentially solid players at different positions, or what they thought he was worth other teams were not willing to trade for. Personally I like that they're not going to overpay for a player just because we "need" a quarterback. Make your valuations and stick to them. |

dwc2shb | ['d6d3d7cd-9c22-532a-129c-976a5b42dc83'] | It's probably going off a lot of assumptions in order to calculate the calories burned. It will most likely be based on gender, age, height, weight and approximate distance and time spent walking coupled with the average calories burned by someone with those statistics. If your pedometer registers your heart rate, it's calories burned estimate might be a little more accurate. Either way, you should add a bag of salt to whatever comes out as the estimated number of calories burned. | dxmh05i | ['d6d3d7cd-9c22-532a-129c-976a5b42dc83'] | Unfortunately there's always opinion involved. Dutch supermarkets have a campaign running to inform the public that anyone below 25 years of age has to show their ID when purchasing alcohol. Even though the legal age is 18, it's just hard to estimate age. I work in a cinema and we have to ask ID for 16+ movies. So the law states that we have to ask ID from anyone "one could reasonably suspect might not be old enough." Given the fact that fines in this case are also quite serious, we just have to err on the side of caution, even though it's never fun to do. This will always however require a subjective estimate of someone's age. Sure, this subjective estimate is easy when it comes to a sixty year old and a five year old, but anywhere between 12 and 30 can look around 16 years old sometimes unfortunately. Would be nice if everyone obeyed the Dutch law that makes the ability to show proof of ID at all times mandatory, but most people rather start an argument. |

This one you described tho, has a nice reason for, weakness. While weakness fills up the Pokémon flair, I dislike it A LOT for the TCG. It's like a panic button if anything gets out of control, a dumb fix I'd say. Weakness turns some nice matchups into an auto-loss just because. Maybe I'll make a post about weakness someday, if this has not been discussed enough. VirGen would be ok even *VS* Pyroar without the weakness because GBooster could take you to victory. I believe VirGen is strong cause its complete and has a clear strategy. I feel I enjoy decks that have a fair matchup all around (except weakness, no way around that). That brings you a lot of fun and tense games, to the last prize cards. I'll get a hold of myself and wait until the next big tournaments roll out and we see the effect of Roaring Skies in the real deal, I'll try to take everything with a grain of salt. About cost, as I live in Brazil is almost impossible to build good decks in a timely way, with an even worse price. I've seen Shaymins being sold for over R$100, minimum wage is about R$780 for reference. Shipping here is costly and sometimes the customs tax up the fuck up with 60% to over 100% taxes. For these reasons I don't really bother with the super competitive side of the TCG, **sadly**, I'd like to. We have a national card producer but the price of the products is about the same after the conversion and the releases are REALLY DELAYED, Primal Clash had a local print here almost 2 weeks after Roaring Skies released, lol. | cjbfi1f | ['d6e3696f-0413-5cf4-d50a-056ff424243c'] | I've checked plenty of items and all of them had their PvP rating values decreased to 16% os its original value, I'd guess a rune that today gives 328 PvP rating would give 52.

czxno27 | ['d6eb96a0-4a44-3274-aea8-bd78e29b0bcf'] | I prefer the TFA soundtrack to Revenge of the Sith -- ROTS has some glorious moments but it's so...extra. Much of the good parts were derivative of themes from TPM and ATC, and so much chorus overlaid everything. I remember thinking when it came out that it felt a bit too inspired by the ultra-chorus-y Lord of the Rings soundtracks. TFA has more variety and moments of subtlety. That being said, I think it's fairer to compare the soundtrack to its respective counterparts in the other trilogies, eg New Hope and Phantom Menace. As the first entry of a new trilogy, it's not going to go for the melodramatic beats as a trilogy ender. In that regard, I think that TFA doesn't hold up to ANH, but is a bit more interesting and pleasurable to listen to than TPM. I do wish it had something instantly iconic like Duel of the Fates, though. | czkdg6x | ['d6eb96a0-4a44-3274-aea8-bd78e29b0bcf'] | Dunno.

c4ssdty | ['d6ee816e-9eee-7782-c156-69a31f97775c'] | Strangely, you may have some of this wrong. It may depend on where you live, but (to my knowledge) official doctrine doesn't state that we actually will be able to own our own planet, etc. The phrase "we can be like god" doesn't equal "we can be god" by any means, and the belief that mormons will own their own planets is just an assumption. Correct me if I'm wrong on this one because I'm really not sure. I've just never seen anywhere, either from prophets or from doctrine that full out says we'll own planets and that there are other gods. This seems to be more of an assumption to the original claim. | drzixge | ['d6ee816e-9eee-7782-c156-69a31f97775c'] | This is the single greatest talent I think xNFP/J types are great at. The human element is always more powerful than the logical one, as long as you can make the two work together. By solving pain, not problems, you create better avenue's to progress. It both increases rapport, while also productively solving a problem. My best friend was a great worker in a shop, but was mystified when an employee with two years less experience became his senior in rank before he did. This person was constantly talking to their boss, making suggestions, and finding solutions to problems. He wasn't that productive but he resolved pain that the manager had, and the manager cared more because generally humans care about themselves more than their company. My friend did this as well, but kept his head down and never said anything. He thought his manager would appreciate the humility, but instead he just never got noticed. I think pain is easier for us to spot than most other types, we just struggle because the rest of the problem is targeting problems and we don't see the importance to fixing mundane problems one by one, but rather from the source. I think second to this, we also get caught worrying too much about what the source is, instead of simply acting and using process + elimination to find what is causing the pain. In other words, we get caught spinning our tires on the world's most lucrative roads, but can never find the traction we need or the amount of fuel required to travel more than a few miles at a time. Other people have less capable cars, but they are consistent, reliable, and content with a little less to get to their destination whenever they can, but safe and assured. We try to be like them but then fantasize about driving the Ferrari zooming by us and crash into a tree while zoning out too far into a day dream. |

If I can figure out a way to do that and somehow work on it full time (right now I'm working a day job part time to support my developing efforts) I'd definitely consider it. At the very least my hope is to make it extremely moddable and hopefully release some tools to allow that more easily. | dxsgd75 | ['d6f045f8-fa98-71e1-fa10-a2f3d1c76331'] | >simple >multiplayer Pick one. ;) Making a game is hard enough without needing to roll your own engine. If your game is 3D and you want a semi modern rendering pipeline as a single dev then there's really no option but to use an engine. you COULD make your own engine but then you will spend 5 years making an engine and not making your game. |

I read Learning Web Design cover to cover, because it was recommended by a friend. It was good, in spite of being outdated, because of its graphical presentation and broad overview. You might want more meaty books considering your background, but that one was easy to get through. One other suggestion that I can make is this: while you're reading blogs, books and whatnot, don't just read. You have to practice LOTS. Make tons of stuff. Using the skills as you're building them seems to be key, and because I didn't do this while reading that book, I keep having to look up stupid stuff, and I didn't retain nearly as much as I should have. Hope that was worth reading! | c6ls1pn | ['d6ffe95d-d069-e4c6-6904-e5878e2df479'] | This summer, I took my 5-month old daughter to visit my dad's grave. This was during a week-long trip filled with all sorts of joyous introductions of her to my extended family. Everyone was so thrilled to meet this little miracle, including my dad's dad, who is still lucid at 98 years old. She's my first child, and I've been without my dad since I was 12. He's buried across the country, so I don't visit often. He never got to see me grow up, and he didn't get to see his first grandchild either. When I got to the gravestone, I can't put into words what I felt. It finally sunk in that I didn't have him to guide me through fatherhood. If I hadn't had her in my arms, happy and healthy, I would have had absolutely no faith in my ability to raise a child. Terror, helplessness, despair, abandonment, heartache... |

Every other place I can think of has closed up or no longer does shows. There's venues right near the strip that will have punk bands; Shakas being the more active of those venues but I have no clue what they have lined up.

I somewhat disagree. I think becoming an adult is when a person has enough experience and perspective in life that he or she can make his or her own decisions and *cope with the consequences*. Perhaps for a lot of people this foundation comes from their parents, but not all, or even most.[end quoted reply] Regarding what I said above, some people come to this point in their life at an earlier age than others, and some people never do. In my mind, that is the essence of maturity, and thus adulthood. Quantity of years since being born is rather arbitrary, but still in some ways more important than it seems. Imagine if the state determined, through some sort of test, that a person is legally an adult! I find that notion horrendous. Regarding kids knowing more about drugs -- Sure, thanks to the internet, *anyone* can get reams of information about drugs, kids included. However, what information are they getting, and how correct or relevant are those informations? Kids can get medical data, statistical data, anecdotal data, &c... However, those kids (usually) don't have the background to interpret the scientific data, and instead rely on the anecdotal data, which is usually limited to psychosomatic and metabolic responses to drug ingestion. In other words, "trip reports" from the likes of erowid.org et al. I'll leave this at this, because I'm out of touch with the drug culture of today's youth... Does maturity come with knowledge? I don't think so, unless that knowledge leads to a change of outlook from one's perspective. I know a couple of people with genuine genius level IQ (I'm talking verifiable 180+ level. People, who when were kids **really** did discover new ways of using algebra, or new ways of synthesizing a certain molecule. Things that were published in scientific journals), and they're total idiots when it comes to dealing with the normal day to day parts of life. At any rate, there's no saying what will happen in the next 100 years. Hopefully we'll all be dead by then :-) |

It should be that if you're busy, you put headphones on\*, and nobody bothers you (unless it's urgent).

This is my third summer working (as an intern) in my third different open office, and all three have been fine. Unless you are co-located with sales (which would be awful; before I joined my current office it was half sales) things are usually pretty quiet, and it makes collaboration a bit easier. And definitely 100% bring it up with management if people are unnecessarily distracting you or being to loud. \* I generally see both ears covered when somebody really needs no distractions, one covered when they're focusing but want to be available to other people, and headphones off to indicate "hey I'm reading email (please) feel free to distract me | c7vitm2 | ['d7152477-53f1-d930-619a-34153ad16fe7'] | I'm actually on the [school that wins almost every state championship] team.

For champion you need to all hole up against a wall that has enough room to escape from gas or tornados. You need to completely stop any scoreboard behavior.
