The TLDR is that AA asks you to find a higher power “as you understand it” (it’s even underlined in the 11th step). Most friends of mine in recovery identify as atheist or agnostic but as able to find a higher power in things like “Alone I can’t move a table, but with help I can” and “When I go to sleep the globe…

AA is a cult, and as such you need to be very careful. That goes double. The person you want as your sponsor? none of the first six horny guys who think you’re an easy mark.

Exactly this. And it also (I think this is part of the intent) means that older players without those lightning fast reflexes and who suffer from thirty+ years of gaming RSI can actually compete well enough to make it a fun experience.

I’m quite of the mind that tickrate is becoming the boogieman of Overwatch complaints. The actual answer is that many weapons are hitscan with animations designed to provide the illusion of “travel time”. Roadhog’s chain comes to mind: yes he pulled you through a wall... no it isn’t broken... he hit you with the…

Honestly, I think Blizzard wants to ensure that people who aren’t 10-24 years of age will be the only people who can “play well”. I don’t think the game would be nearly as popular and well-received if it didn’t make things easier for older players who lack the razor-sharp aim and reactions.

Voting on cards at the end of the game has a big effect, and

I’ve been told it auto-adds the player you vote for to a preferred list making it more likely to be grouped with them in the future. So you actually do want to rep the best player in the game.

Sym’s TP should provide a less-than Lucio AoE heal around it. Would go great lengths to buffing Sym’s ult as well as making her more a real support.

I simply doubt these thieves had intended to use their guns unless they felt threatened during their crime. Criminals aren’t automatically psychopaths.

just a PSA...laser pointers are not a good toy for cats. The act of chasing something down, but never actually catching it, creates frustration and anxiety in cats.

On PC. Where you *should* be.

It is tricky, because you don’t want to laud a kid like that for doing something that could have gotten him killed.

Nah, console peasants paid $60.

I spent $40 you console peasant.

I actually see it the other way, that even in the midst of an armed robbery, they don’t shoot or even hurt the kid. They aren’t heroes by any means at all, but damn was I relieved to see that despite their criminality they had some serious moral lines.

I was a “free range” kid in the 80s and 90s... but when I think of having kids eventually I’ll be the most overprotective father ever. It is something to examine and interact with.

There are little glimmers of good here. There’s something that sparks my faith in humanity when armed robbers show compassion and really avoid engaging in violence against a child. It is the fact that someone who engages in armed robbery has at least enough of a soul to not shoot/hurt a kid... that’s the kind of thing…

It is a lose-lose. When it can be claimed that there is a “liberation of” a populous from fascism they just go back at the election. Self-interest is self-interest. Why change when you’re getting the bigger end of the deal and when your whole system is based on preventing brown folks from voting.

Well, please are

Zika is serious, and even if we have a tenuous link to microscopically, the fact that it is spreading so fast is worth attention.
