I don't think you know much about addiction. The whole point about emphasizing not drinking ever again is because when people do take that first drink, it inevitably sets off the donward spiral. It's the same with other addictive substances. Time and time again I've seen and heard the same old story. Someone…

Wow, this is one of the lamest trolls I have ever seen. You must have been pretty hammered if you couldn't do any better.

I avoided AA for a long time because of the God thing. When I finally got there, it was through an atheist AA meeting, where the essential idea was that you could believe in whatever the hell you wanted as long as it kept you from drinking. However, in retrospect I probably would have been fine starting off in just…

Effective satire is not comfortable, and can be quite disturbing. One of the best classic examples is Johnathan Swifts's classic "A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland Being a Burden on Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick," which suggests that the…

[Sigh.] In the left image it's the standard pose of putting an arm on your waist and lifting the opposing shoulder. (Quite attractive, as you can see.) Put a grid over the shots with GIMP or something similar; they look straight on the right as well. But whatever; she carries it off perfectly when many others…

If you run a line across the top of the two in the middle picture (where she is standing straight) you can see that they are at the same height.

The dress makes them look lopsided because the top of the dress gives the illusion of almost bisecting each globe and since the angle of the top of the dress moves upward, so apparently does the breast at the higher end of the angle. It might be an ill-fitting push-up, but wouldn't that be uncomfortable? And BTW…

"Acting." Ah, so that's what she calls it. What an interesting euphemism.

If any of these fine young lads do any time for this, they may be put into quite a similar situation ...

The Missouri statute states in its entirety: "27.060. The attorney general shall institute, in the name and on the
behalf of the *state*, all civil suits and other proceedings at law or in
equity requisite or necessary to protect the rights and interests of the
*state*, and enforce any and all rights, interests or…

Hasn't the photo on the left been staged to lower the bar? Using a bright light on the face gets an unflattering reflection on the brow between the eyes, as well as drawing out the mottling in the facial complexion. And the hair is staged to look as ratty as possbile when in fact she has gorgeous hair. The picture…

Yeah but stuff like this happens in Texas so much that when I saw the headline the first thing I thought was "that must be Texas." Sure enough ... Of course, this is the same state whose Republican Party platform opposes "critical thinking," so refusing somebody (especially a woman) time off to try to advance their…

Sorry, forgot this: Alaska's state wresting champion in the 103-lb. weight class (co-ed) in 2006 was Michaela Hutchinson, with a 45-4 record for the season and 33 pins. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/more/02/0…

Ooooweeee! Listen to all the MRA trolls pop out of their little burrows! "Ewww, someone might get a boner!" "Some little lady might get hurt!" My son competed in wrestling for six years. His high school had and still has one of the best wrestling teams in the state. (He likely would have gone to the state…

A bit OT, but have you tried Lamictal? I had the same symptoms for decades and Lamictal shut them down like flicking a light switch. But not totally OT: I can actually get high again (well, at least a little bit) without totally freaking out.

People who say that kind of shit never outgrew the seventh grade.

It varies, but if you smoke enough you will eventually get high if the pot is good. Even when you do, you may not like it that much, so the fact that you're not having fun may mean that you don't think you're very stoned.

I have about a dozen relatives in my family tree who have killed themselves with cigarettes and alcohol. I was well on my way to joining them until I realized what I was doing. No one in my family has ever died from smoking pot. Until both cigarettes and alcohol are illegal, there is no valid justification for…

Still haven't figured it out, eh?

I doubt that he could trash your computer. No mod (and I've used a LOT of mods) have ever caused any harm my computer, although very occasionally I have had to re-install the base game. Still, I would help him build his own computer if you're worried about it, it's very educational as to how modern computers work. …
