To continue the analogy, as in it's ok to steal 10 bucks, but not 500 bucks. Sure, they're probablty exaggerating because they don't like him. And they don't like him because he acts like this. But it's not like they're making stuff up. The guy is acting like a douchebag while being in the spotlight as a pro and he gets called out for it. Nothing wrong with that regardless of his level of douchebaggery. | dc6chi5 | ['f3b4df42-518c-709e-41ed-86bcfdd37ed8'] | Yup. People really tend to forget that this is a game. It should be about having fun and not just all about climbing so it becomes work. That being said, if he's paying for coaching/op.gg reviews he must really want to climb in which case he should definitely stop playing that stuff. |
cd6wzpf | ['f3ba2bf8-f458-2e35-2ec4-07fe5418270f'] | I usually start with, "I out grew it." I couldn't get what I needed from it, ie. cohesive morals and world view. Nor could I keep both my faith and what was important to me: my integrity and my intellectual honesty. Basically I couldn't be true to both my religion and myself. To quote a song: "No cradle lasts forever, every bird must learn to fly." | cd6xifg | ['f3ba2bf8-f458-2e35-2ec4-07fe5418270f'] | This will be long. I became an atheist while deployed in the military. I knew that was not the time to tell them, but I also knew I would tell my family when the time was right. We are a close family, at 30 years old, I'm actually friends with my parents. Even if I wasn't their son, I would enjoy visiting and hanging out with them. So I knew I wouldn't be keeping something this important from them, it would be lying about who I am to the people who know me and love me best. After being back in the States for several months, my mom and I were talking and she asked me, "how do you think you've changed the most during your time in the military?" Well I wasn't going to get a better invitation than that, so I a took a deep breath and explained everything as clearly, gently, and concisely as I could. They were all shocked and heart broken but the love and understanding we had built up over the years was enough to see us through. I made sure to tell them I loved them and valued them. I made it clear I wasn't angry or hurt or depressed about god/ church/ religion. This change was something that I was carefully growing through and I didn't know where it would ultimately end. I answered every question they had and kept the conversation about MY growth, not the ultimate truth of religion. After a few months things went back to normal, we talk about normal things and have fun when we get together. We can talk about religion and our beliefs without challenging eachother, but instead just appreciating where the other person is in life. Soooo... yeah. It all worked out well for us. Yay! If you want anymore info from me just ask. Peace and love to you and yours. |

I love it, but I remember constantly being reminded of the fact that dancers should be small and petite. And on top of that, I've always, always, ALWAYS been put in the back of every formation of every dance. Case in point: just got out of a rehearsal where they lined us up by height, and though I fall short of 6', I still stood as the tallest female there (mind you, I go to school in New England). My partner (also the tallest male, well above 6') and I are predictably waaay in the back. 'S cool though. | c3wk7ip | ['f3c3b4ef-09f9-cbdb-0ed9-abfab63ae69a'] | Yep, this is true.

dul0ucd | ['f3da7417-368b-5928-3dce-c9fa34448d6f'] | According to the APA, "Gender Dysphoria" is a mental disorder, but simply being transgender is not. "A psychological state is considered a mental disorder only if it causes significant distress or disability. Many transgender people do not experience their gender as distressing or disabling, which implies that identifying as transgender does not constitute a mental disorder. For these individuals, the significant problem is finding affordable resources, such as counseling, hormone therapy, medical procedures and the social support necessary to freely express their gender identity and minimize discrimination. Many other obstacles may lead to distress, including a lack of acceptance within society, direct or indirect experiences with discrimination, or assault. These experiences may lead many transgender people to suffer with anxiety, depression or related disorders at higher rates than nontransgender persons. "According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), people who experience intense, persistent gender incongruence can be given the diagnosis of 'gender dysphoria.' Some contend that the diagnosis inappropriately pathologizes gender noncongruence and should be eliminated. Others argue that it is essential to retain the diagnosis to ensure access to care." http://www.apa.org/topics/lgbt/transgender.aspx | e2l3whx | ['f3da7417-368b-5928-3dce-c9fa34448d6f'] | Just communicate!

Suddenly it dawned on me that I new this person. I looked back up and it was <PERSON>, still smiling at me. And **he** had initiated conversation with **me**! After getting my order, I worked up the courage to ask for a photo. He politely obliged and put his arm around me as I handed my phone to my mother, who had no idea how to work a touchscreen phone. She was holding it awkwardly and part of her other fingers kept closing out of the camera application. I'd say I stood there awkwardly with his arm around me for a good 3-4 minutes while my mom worked out the camera. The only photo she managed to snap turned out to be pretty shitty, too. Anyway he did not seem troubled at all to wait for the photo, made polite conversation, and when we were done, I thanked him and he said (not in a creepy way) "you're very beautiful, by the way." Meanwhile <PERSON> was waiting on teh sides with a shopping cart, and my mom said she had run HER cart into <PERSON> earlier by accident, and didn't apologize, thinking she was just some "snobby Hamptons bitch."

Unfortunately I have no idea what kind of jobs are available, what degree I'd need, or how to go about getting hired. I decided the best way for me is to get whatever degree I end up with at a school with a high success rate of students getting jobs soon after graduation. I'd suggest that for you too. Go ahead and get your music degree but get it at the best college you can get in. I guess take some extra classes in other areas that you don't absolutely hate in case you end up switching majors. Also, don't take it too lightly like "it'll work out somehow" because my mom majored in what turned out to be a pretty dead field and couldn't get a job. She ended up having to go back to college. |

Context: I manage properties for a living, and I have owners in Avondale, behind the hospitals, who have tried to create sub-stations in their buildings, and have invited the police to walk through the buildings at any point. We are constantly told there isn't sufficient coverage for this, no one takes us up on this. HOWEVER, when there is crime in or around the buildings, and we call, these owners are dinged for excessive police calls to the building. Excessive police calls, even when phoned in by the owner, can result in a criminal complaint - and has with one of my owners. Well, color me frustrated as hell. Also, given my career choice, I can say with some authority that leasing of student properties in the CUF area has been a lot harder in the last year. More and more students are renting outside of Clifton. I've worked in this area for 24 years - something is up. |

I know when I was your age all I did was play video games and piled on the weight. Once I hit secondary school (high school) I started playing rugby and found playing sports to really help with dropping pounds. Puperity is a big deal weight wise, I'm not too experienced with the woman version .. But for guys you really will start to slim down and muscle up pretty naturally. Consider just making small changes to your diet such as cutting out too much sugar and fast food and picking up a sport. I found team sports like rugby to be full of motivating people as long as you show to be trying to improve! No one can make fun of someone who is trying harder than them. If they do the problem is with them, not you :) Good luck friend! |

He had the body and looks of a movie star and wasn't afraid who knew it. Heads turned on the street as he walked over the road and hopped onto the tram. They thought to themselves, 'Who is that amazing looking man wearing a suit and also holding a large present box? Whoever that is for must be a lucky and also beautiful woman!'. He walked into his expensive townhouse, holding the present box behind his back. His grin widened as he opened the door. "Hi babe! I have something for yoooou!" he crooned to the beautiful pair of breasts attached to his girlfriend <PERSON>. She also had a face and a personality. "What is it?" she queried with a wicked grin. "Just a little something!" He playfully held the box away from her. They played like children as she tried to peek into the box, while she reached over him for the box he looked at her breasts. They were very nice breasts, also her dress was blue. When he finally gave her the box she pulled out the dress from under the tissue paper. It was a red dress and not a blue one. *I am definitely having the sex tonight! Ahahaha.* He thought to himself. Their friend <PERSON> walked in eating an apple. <PERSON> liked <PERSON>, but he liked breasts more.

So I did, and I started again from the top. And at first it was pretty terrible to be honest, but I'm doing a lot better with it now. If I don't force myself to write I know I'm just going to sit around looking at memes all day so I just turn off the TV, put on some music and fall through that hole in the page.

I didn't like the song and I decided to unlock the door by reaching over the top of the door onto the other side where the latch was, so I opened it, went in, I was ducking so I wouldn't be seen. The computer had a list of songs and a mouse. I thought I can just click a different song and that song would just change, like every other music player I've dealt with. Well it wouldn't let me change the song ( I even tried double clicking) so I decided to push 'stop' and TRY to quickly change the song. But it wouldn't play. The music just stopped.

4eblt2 | ['f406f54f-19fb-9945-f8d3-3d55fca7da89'] | Hello folks! This thread is not really about any balance issues, but more about some major and minor things that can be fixed or should be fixed. Things that in some other games are included and should be included everywhere. Most of these ideas are mainly for casual gaming, but not all of them. Here we go: _________________________________________________________________________________________ - Spectator Slots --- There are none. You can spectate a game, but you will consume one player slot and thus make the game uneven. Add 2-4 Spectator slots to every lobby that DON'T count into the server Maximum Players. If a server is full, let people join as spectators, so they can watch and at some point swap in, if anyone leaves. I had multiple games, where spectators blocked the slot on purpose, to help someone or other games, where people just didnt agree to kick the spectator. - Stopwatch Objectives that consist of 2 things --- Like delivering 2 Objectives or blowing up 2 containers. Make it clear, what is needed to be done to win. After both teams reached the same goal, for example end the match as soon as the second team that attacks reaches one more goal (like delivering 1 out of 2 things) But only if it is inteded. I had games, where people just delivered one objective and then the game played out until time ran out, but then it was not drawn but instead the team that deliverd 1, won. So why did we keep playing? - Sell unwanted mercs --- I am sure, I am not the only one that bought a merc, he doesnt want (anymore) - Let people sell them for half or less the credits they cost. Especially so they wont recieve missions for those mercs. If you dont want to let us sell them, let us deactivate them, so we wont recieve said quests. The deactivating would be good for <PERSON> and <PERSON> as well, since some people just dont play those two, cause they like other airstrike/ammo guys better, or other medics better and we didnt chose to buy Aura or Skyhammer. - Buying multiple cases in store --- Give us the option to chose how many cases we want to buy, instead of us having to click 20 times to buy 10 cases. - Pineapple Juggler --- I tested this perk so much and even when my mates tried to intentionally throw grenades my way, it was hard or rather almost impossible to midair knock them back. Even if it wasn't - to do that in an actual game, when you most | 3q70um | ['f406f54f-19fb-9945-f8d3-3d55fca7da89'] | First of all, no I am not a victim of this banwave and I got a "legit" key. I have friends that have those problems, tho. And among them my brother's account even got "suspended by accident" because their automated keytermination banned some accounts for no reason, and one of the anet supporters even admitted to it in this thread: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/support/support/GW2-Tickets-for-Review-7-days-older-1/page/9#post5648911 And I can't believe that they let people be banned by this and have them write support tickets, to FIND OUT WHY they even got suspended. Others get the key removed and also get NO MESSAGE nothing and have to find out somehow. This is infuriating! It should be top priority to unban all accounts that got banned by accident. NO MATTER if they got a 3rd party key, or not. I know of some cases where people even bought HoT directly from Anet and got suspended or their key revoked. I know, it is "just" a game. It is more than that for many of you guys and us. I almost feel people should be compensated for their loss of opportunity to explore the expension at first day and find new items, be the first to find out things... I am really really sad about the fact I didn't get to share that experience with my brother and some friends. I didn't play the new content out of solidarity and because we want to experience this together. That is why I am affected by this as well. And don't tell me "dont buy 3rd party keys, you got what you deserved". NO! Even if that is the case, you ALWAYS deserve to know the REASON why your account is suspended, or your HoT is removed. Also, as I mentioned - they didnt deserve the suspension, as you can read in the thread I posted, the Anet employee even apologized for it. So... yeah. I needed to get this out there! |

The youngest brother can't hold a job, smokes pot daily, and sells when the opportunity presents itself, and is a serial cheater. Of course, he and his pothead girlfriend were the first to supply the beloved "first grandchild". All he cares about is his band and his weed. It doesn't help that my last miscarriage happened right before they announced their pregnancy. Those were happy times, let me tell ya! When My husband and I were thinking about adoption, he actually took my husband aside and told him "don't do it". That really broke my heart. The other brother has been with his lovely fiance for many years, but they don't use birth control, even though she had an abortion years ago, and then act surprised when they get pregnant. They barely have enough to pay their mortgage. At least they will be good parents, but family events totally suck. Most of the time, I build them up to be worse than they actually are, but this past Christmas was the last straw. I had to hear the pothead brother talking to the other brother about how awesome it was when you got to feel the baby kick. So they get the warm fuzzy baby kicking story, and we get the "don't do it" speech. I had to go out front and cry my eyes out. My husband came out and just let me sob on his shoulder.

If you want to drive in Germany and you have a drivers licence from the states, you can get a 6 months permit. Within these 6 months, you are good to go. If you just want to stay a year in Germany, you can get another 6 months, but you have to convince them that you are not staying longer. These rules only apply, if you lived 185+ days in the state you got your drivers licence in. If you have a US drivers licence, and you want to get a German one, and you lived 185+ days in the state you got your licence, you can "convert" it to a german one. Costs a little bit, not that much. You don't have to take classes, but if you got your drivers licence in the states below, you have to take the theoretical test first: Connecticut, Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee. The theoretical test is not that hard, cost maybe 50 bucks. All of that only applies to personal vehicles up to 3,5t. Not trucks or motorcycles or farming machinery or something. There are other rules for that. |

Personally I'd take out the banner though, you've got enough morph creatures that playing a banner on turn three seems inefficient and it looks as though you have enough fixing anyway. |

My poor baby..I almost feel like keeping her an only child..But siblings are important and I really can't be selfish about it! | dhs01ua | ['f430bf49-d699-a4f0-0c09-2d19390d7184'] | I have a toddler so I don't have much experience, but her not picking up after her and stuff is not age appropriate. My child is still in daycare, but does very basic age appropriate chores..some we never asked for to be done. She sees us doing it and does it herself. Like if she spills her drink or drops something she'd get a wipe and try cleaning up. I'd suggest assigning her some chores(with no exception).It could be the basic task she HAS to do. Like cleaning up her bed/putting clothes in hamper etc. It doesn't have to be done perfectly, but done as well as she can. Also, if your schedule can fit it, I'd move the TV after the homework.Like finish the homework , and then you can go watch TV,so she has some motivation to finish her work. |
d46qhn6 | ['f4351799-f392-2a94-8674-faf0edd5198d'] | Awesome. :) Forgot to add, when we got our second cat we were living in an apartment that was about 300-350 square feet. And the small space I think helped, they could sniff each other under doors and didn't have large amounts of territory to fight over. Getting a second cat was the best idea ever and it really chilled out our older cat. Hope it works the same for you! | d49pb4h | ['f4351799-f392-2a94-8674-faf0edd5198d'] | Your cat looks like a garden variety tabby (domestic shorthair) but the orange colour near their face may indicate some kind of burmese in there? (My parents cats are half burmese, half domestic shorthair and they look quite similar to your little guy, mainly because of the orange that doesn't really come through on male cats to my knowledge). Or the orange could be because your cat's a female(?) and it's a bit of calico colouring? All wild guesses. Whatever type or colour your cat is they are adorable! What's his/her name? |

cqbbm1j | ['f4365734-4fe6-5d56-928c-0be9a16935e3'] | so have you tried to read those "evidences" ? you are no better than any other religious person. if you read tomorrow that humans can fly, then will you jump from the 10th storey of a building to do it?: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/large-hadron-collider/11489442/Big-Bang-theory-could-be-debunked-by-Large-Hadron-Collider.html thx for this guy to point it out: http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/32g3b2/my_science_teacher_showed_me_a_paper_from_one_of/cqb8819 so my advice for you, maybe next time try understanding what you read. because as i said, what we have now about big bang is speculation, not evidence. currently the big bang is our "most probable" prediction, but that only means it is true like with a 20% chance... and other predictions are like less than 1%... | cq713db | ['f4365734-4fe6-5d56-928c-0be9a16935e3'] | ants and bees suicide in many cases to protect their land. humans do the same. and mainly they dont do it for selfish reasons. meaning artificially we could make a situation where you will definitely do a selfless act, but in nature when you do something, it CAN be considered selfish, because in essence, existing is selfish. so what im saying, you dont only help someone for selfish reasons, but selfish is such a vast word that actually it can be said to anything so it loses its meaning. if you want to specify, then to help someone without any reward(immediate or future) or even without feeling better about it yourself, then there are selfless acts. if we specify selfishness as a means for your own existence, then everything you do is selfish. (selfish to eat, selfish to breathe, selfish to be alone and do nothing, etc) so when i say "observed to completely selfless acts", i mean as like dying to save someone. for example: new atombomb is about to explode and kill the whole world. you and 2 others are nearby to press the red button to stop it. but near that red button the radiation is so huge that it will definitely kill you... meaning you would die anyway whatever you do. would people volunteer for that? definitely (similar case already happened, but i dont exactly remember the details, maybe it was chernobyl) yet they have no reason to do it for themselves. many people volunteer to help who have nobody, nothing to live for etc. others did it for their loved ones. (which is again not selfish) especially since they didnt feel good at all, they felt extremely scared and depressed knowing they are going to die. same behaviour is present with bees and ants. but, as i said if we define selfishness as existential matter, then EVERYTHING you do is selfish, even breating or just moving, so it is futile to talk about that definition. EDIT: when i said artificially we could make a case to prove selflessness, i meant like this bomb scenario where we make sure the people think nobody will know if they helped others, nobody will know there ever was an incident because it would cause panic. in both cases when people have nothing to lose because they gonna die either way, or if they could survive but they would still die to save others(family), there would be decently many people who would accept that responsiblity. and i dont see how it can be considered selfish since they will definitely feel bad about it since your survival instincts say the complete opposite, yet you only do it for principle. you dont do it for fame/acknowledgement etc. |

As a whole, they're probably more greedy than any race on earth. It would be a better place on earth if we get rid of all the crazy Chinese. Thank God they're not that smart and are self destructive or else they'd take over all the southeastern Asian countries. |

However, I've been facing sooooooooooo many full parties and 3-5 player parties lately, that it just takes away the fun factor at times. I personally don't like playing in parties because it'll get boring really fast and it's not challenging enough, but at the same time, playing against full parties, in what seems like every other match, is too much of a challenge at times due to the unfair nature those imbalanced matches inherently take on (full party vs randoms= imbalanced match up). I suggest a mercenary type mode with **NO PARTIES** at all, game types could be TDM, Dom, and Kill Confirmed. Would be a joy to have being added later down the line after more important issues are addressed. |

This depends on where you're staying to make it simple, but a fun ride that we've done in the past is riding to one, some, most or all the Pizza Port locations to get a slice and pint - it can be an all day thing depending on how you do it; but just going in between the the Solana Beach and Ocean Beach locations you get a good view, get to climb and/or descend Torrey Pines, and it's a relatively easy route. You can add in a climb to Mt. Soledad for a bit more climbing and really nice view of SD. Haven't done Palomar, but I've been meaning to one of these days. If you like climbing, I've been told ti's a bucket list type of ride. | d6ks3mh | ['f43fef87-5896-1ee7-ff97-8635fc88b3ef'] | I've had the same shoes and cleat setup for almost 2 1/2 years now, and only replaced one cleat about 17 months and 8 - 9,000 miles in.

These 2 are studs (also very good friends and wear each other’s faces on their game socks) and without them I can’t even imagine where we would be. <PERSON> up the middle for a loss of 2.

cxdj9pw | ['f46cb851-6ad8-a722-f196-1deac73ea324'] | Are you saying that NONE of the multiconsole games that have released so far on the PS4 are worth playing? If you're counting just exclusives, sure, it doesn't compare to what the PS3 had, but it took the PS3 a few years to get there too, and we know the games are coming. I'm speaking for myself but I'm sure there are others who are buying the PS4 because Microsofts line up, while they may be fun, gorgeous, and great games to play, they're the same games Xbox 360 fans played for a decade. The PS4 is offering new experiences, no matter how subpar some may see them as. And considering a large majority of PS4 owners were 360 owners previously (statistics have been released) these experiences may be tempting to many, especially since the gamers themselves are also a decade older. You can personally not like the console or its games, but stop pretending like it offers nothing and has no value. Clearly it does. Edit: But the beauty of Reddit is that it allows you to be stalked. And according to your posting history, you're a major fan of the Xbox One. So when I take that evidence, and the fact that you're here posting to multiple comments with negative remarks, I have to ask, why even bother? You don't like the PS4, you like your One. That's awesome dude. But no one gives a fuck about hearing your negativity. We're all here because we enjoy the system and want to talk about it.

Outland with <PERSON> was a scifi update to the idea but lacked the style and panache of the original. Even <PERSON> has difficulty filling <PERSON>'s shoes in that role. |

Ps4 is ultimately a similar console (which I like less in terms of OS/media features/etc) but with much much MUCH better exclusives to make up for its deficencies. The Switch is a super unique gaming device that is just ridiculously satisfying to use. It's not that I think the xbox suddenly performs poorly. It's that if I were telling a friend what to buy, I'm not sure what the case is for Xbox other than the cool cable feature (which is rapidly becoming obsolete with cord cutting) and a great controller. |

I can see why the conflict is there, but I think if you can talk to your girlfriend and your mom separately and let them both know how important it is to you to have both important ladies in your life get along, it may help. They both need to apologize and get over themselves for your sake and theirs. But about your girlfriend and her mental state - does she see a therapist and/or a psychiatrist, and would it be feasible for her to see one? Bipolar is serious business but medication for it can do wonders for stabilizing mood. If she ever texts you or tells you anything that hints at her being suicidal in that moment, are you comfortable enough to contact her birth mom’s foster mother that she lives with? Just to have her keep an eye on your girlfriend.

As far as Global numbers go, keep an eye on how India and China decide to transport themselves in the next couple years and assume there's going to be a split preference in places where everyone having a car is already normal.

dsd3d6b | ['f4a4c34a-c889-df76-fe7d-a7b7243925a1'] | That is a little alarmist and over the top. * Alcohol stoves are often used in boats or bunkers, where a fire would be arguably even worse. * Alcohol stoves (jellied, but sometimes liquid) are frequently used for catering and fondue applications indoors * Uncontrollable? If a fire is contained, it is always controllable -- remove the oxygen * Easily upsettable? This depends a bit on your setup, but if you have a small amount of alcohol in a stable, mass-produced stove like a Trangia... * Invisible fire? The invisible part of alcohol stoves is oversold a bit, I think. Yes, in bright light alcohol flame can be nearly invisible, but in dim places (which just about any indoors space would qualify) you can see the flames pretty well. Naturally, never assume the flame is extinguished just because you can't see any, and never pack anything away until it's really cold to the touch. * You should definitely be careful about where you do something like this. I would suggest a room with adequate ventilation (even though fumes are supposedly mostly non toxic with alcohol stoves), and a surface/surroundings that isn't going to catch on fire, even if you have the bad luck to spill burning alcohol. * Obviously you should always have proper safety equipment nearby to account for any unforeseen circumstances. There's always a risk with fire, whether it's your built-in stovetop, a fireplace, or a candle. Be prepared and mindful. * Lastly, if you're really worried about it, use your stove outside. Which honestly, despite the fact that I think you're overreacting, is probably what I'd do because I'm a bit of a paranoid, safety-first kinda guy. | e0349bv | ['f4a4c34a-c889-df76-fe7d-a7b7243925a1'] | Yeah, you sound super weird and confrontational. > Guy says no > So I walk over next to him and rub my hands in the spilled chalk > I walked close to him and said, "Am I supposed to say something?"

That would be fine, but they specifically require you to install Ahnlab junk like V3, which is so bloated and terrible that it slows your computer down permanently. Plus, Koreans all use the same homegrown software, so each Korean machine probably runs: * Ahnlab blah-blah * V3 * AlZip * GomPlayer and its constantly-running-in-background "updaters" * Assorted Samsung/LG bloatware * Definitely Adobe Reader & Java updaters The result is that although Korea has the fastest internet running on the fastest computers, they're all slow as heck because of the junk with which they're laden.

In order to differentiate between the objective view and my own, I capitalized the word "ME" in my comment (in the absence of the ability to italicize). In other words, I was saying above: 'Plenty of black women are objectively attractive and I agree with the assessments of other men about these women's objective appearance. However, even of those objectively attractive black women I have seen, I am attracted to none of them personally". [Edit: Does that make me racist? I still think women are equal in rights/responsibilities to men, black men/women to white men/women. Just because I'm not wired to find certain features on women attractive, does that make me discriminate against them? I don't think my black friends and coworkers think I am racist. What about the opposite? If a white guy finds Asian women attractive, even to some degree those Asian women who are considered objectively UNattractive by those of their own ethnicity, then does that make the white guy an Asian Supremacist?] |

Most Aussie owners will tell you that their dogs have extensive vocabularies (mine knows the names for all of his 20+ toys, knows the name of each room in the house, inside vs. outside, knows the names of our neighbors so you can say "go give your hedgehog to <PERSON>" etc.) and that they learn tricks with very little repetition of the command. I taught my Aussie to jump through a hula hoop in under 5 minutes. My friends always say they think he speaks fluent English because I can use non-command words and almost always still get the desired response. I've never seen a Labrador do any of that. I've known 4 over the course of my life (owned by friends) and the responsiveness to cues and commands just isn't even in the same league. Of course that could be training, but it would be silly to say that there aren't recognizable behavioral traits common in dogs that share a breed, and based on those I find the assertion that many of these dogs are smarter than others on the list to be misleading at best. That's all. |

So why should you chose this particular sausage is the question, and here's the answer: not because this sausage is plumper than the others (it's probably not), not because it's a serviceman on deployment who needs cheering up (it's definitely not one of those), but because it's capable of sharing some really sexy chat with you if you're a lass capable of coherent sentences, possess a sense of humour and want to share mutually exciting talk until we both go pop!

cr9cbes | ['f4deb85b-11c2-cfb3-b2e4-1f70316b44bb'] | > We have health campaigns encouraging people to go to the Dr at the very first sign of illness, if you have to pay, do you all wait until your really ill before you get it checked out? Yes, many Americans will refuse to go to a doctor unless something is potentially fatally wrong with them, even if they have insurance. Why is that? Well, for health insurance Americans need to pay a monthly fee, usually in the hundreds of dollars. Then, before they can get the insurance company to foot the bill they have to pay a deductible, which is the amount of money you must pay out of pocket in a year before to receiving coverage. This varies from plan to plan. My particular insurance plan has a whopping 2000 dollar deductible. As you can imagine, I try to avoid paying this by avoiding the doctor's office. And then, after throwing away all of that money, some times the person's insurance will only partially cover a procedure, or even not at all. This all sounds infuriatingly stupid, right? That's not even the worst of it. We pay taxes for medicaid, which is insurance provided by the government to low income Americans. To cover this, Americans are taxed at a similar rate as nations with socialized healthcare. But we don't get to use it, so it fuels our cultural hatred of the poor and the belief that they are all free loaders. The American system is an abysmal failure and a national embarrassment. If your government moves to make it more like ours, I would hope an armed revolution would occur. | cr9d40f | ['f4deb85b-11c2-cfb3-b2e4-1f70316b44bb'] | > everyone else has the right to not do business with you based on that Unless said bigot owns the only business of that kind for miles around, which is common in small towns well known for their racism and homophobia.

But only for less than 10 minutes or so, see graph below for details. This is usually not a problem unless you are dealing with a torchship. Conventional spacecraft cannot accelerate at that rate for much longer than 10 minutes before their propellant tanks run dry. >Note that the piloting controls will need to be specially designed to be used under 4gs, you ain't gonna be able to do fussy fine control when your arms weighs 20 kilograms each. Note that controls will need to be simple and specially designed to be operable at 3G, as even lifting your arms will be extraordinarily difficult, and precision control will be completely impossible. [A visual aid.](http://puu.sh/Bevio/842ab049a8.jpg) In this image, yellow represents seconds until losing consciousness, orange is seconds of 'tolerance', and pink is seconds until injury. The astronaut in the +Gx posture, on his back, under 14Gs of acceleration, would only have about 5 seconds until he was forced unconscious. Note that laying on your back is the most efficient position. At 2Gs, even laying on your back, you will incur serious injury without specially designed cushioning systems, such as some sort of liquid mattress due to the sustained strain on the body. Immersing your crew in some sort of breathable fluid may help, but I'm afraid I don't have data on that. Being generous, my answer would be that if you want any sort of sustained acceleration greater than 4Gs, you will need to heavily augment your crew. The reality is that human limitations will almost certainly restrict us to following in the wake of our much more capable machines, or to re-engineer ourselves so thoroughly as to no longer be meaningfully human. Also with that said, I'd like to note that the sustained acceleration of 12Gs you mentioned elsewhere would be exceptionally difficult to manage using anything we'd consider 'hard science'. |
