The crazy ex-girlfriend trope is especially ridiculous considering that crazy ex-boyfriends do more than their fair share of stalking, threatening, assaulting and murdering.

Yeah, I've started a few impossible runs that went amazingly well, and then in the second month some damn thin man runs up, survives all the overwatch shots, fires into full cover and smoke and crits one of my valuable soldiers, causing the squad to panic and leading inevitably to a wipe.
Impossible really is about…

Yeah, it's luck. I forget the exact details, you can look it up, but basically you need to get just the right missions and rewards at just the right times in the first month, and if you do you can have an extra satt array and five satts up by the end of the month. Depending on your exact panic levels, that's enough to…

Cool, I have yet to muster the patience to slog through an impossible win yet, so that alone is impressive. It is a lot less impressive, though, that he went into the base defense mission knowing what to expect. Try getting through with no casualties when three of your main soldiers have nothing but basic gear because…

Everyone knows Necron Cactuar is op!

I always loved customizing and painting WH40k figures more than actually playing. Unfortunately I just don't have the time or money anymore...maybe when I retire.

Isn't there a dangerous legal precedent in not sentencing this harshly? Are people free to trick women into abortions and get away with a slap on the wrist, as long as they don't pretend to be a doctor while they're doing it?

That's pretty awesome, but put a helmet on the kid. It wouldn't even take a very big fall to mess him up bad.

I mean, either way they end up with a pretty compelling internet video.

It would be rad if EVE servers could record everything that happens, then play it back later in real time once it's finished. That would be cool to watch. Or maybe that's already possible, I dunno.

Haha, excellent.

Exalt missions are fun, and tough, in the early game. But once you get the hang of rushing their comm relays, and figure out where the reinforcements appear on a given map, the challenge drops way off. Then again, that's the difficulty curve for the game as a whole - the first three or four months are the hardest, and…

I think it's a perfectly valid boundary, to say you don't want to hear details about your friends' sex lives. Writer number one needs to reestablish that boundary, by politely but *firmly and clearly* reminding her that hearing stories of her sexcapades makes him uncomfortable. If she ignores the reminder and keeps at…

Whoa, that's pretty rad.

It's good advice, and a mindset I try to maintain. Any time I start feeling sorry for myself for whatever reason, I remind myself that it could be almost infinitely worse. There are people dealing with things a billion times more difficult and horrible and painful than anything I've ever experienced (or am likely to…

Living for a week with a poison ivy rash isn't comparable- in any way- to living for your entire life with a debilitating, chronic, and ultimately fatal illness.

It's pretty incredible to me that this guy can have such a thorough understanding of and connection with the bears that he knows exactly how to behave so that they don't want to hurt him. But what's even more incredible is that the bears don't just casually destroy him by accident. I mean, one errant muscle twitch and…

Yeah I mean on one hand, mauled to death by a bear. On the other, spending forty years fucking playing with bears like they were dogs.

But he like works in mysterious ways, or something, therefore your logic is invalid.

Maybe God is causing all this shit because of the increasing insanity of republicans posturing as His moutpiece! Ever think of that, Susanne?
