    Remember that gang rape reported in a Brooklyn park where the guys scared off the girl's father with a gun? Some interesting new allegations in that case now that the charges are in: Teen gang rape suspects in court as new info, including video, casts doubt on their arrests Should...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    If I am doing TX or low GR runs, you can tag along and pick up drops to complete a worthwhile set (UE or Marauder). If I'm playing DH, I could give you drops from those sets. Keep an eye out.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I personally view marriage as establishing permanence to raise a family. If two adults want to have a relationship sans children, I don't see the point in putting a formal contract on it such that lawyers and the state need to dissolve it if you no longer want to be together. I'm sure there...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    About a year and a half ago it was official. We were fully separated 2+ years ago, and I've dated my girlfriend for a little over a year. Emphasis on considering, not proposing tomorrow.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Best take on weddings/marriage ever was the shadow council on Metalocalypse: Can't count the number of times I've read posts and thought "liveable hatred" or "experience the blackness". And on that note, I'm considering getting engaged.

    They start making doctor money in their early 30s (usually). As others pointed out, not all doctors make a massive salary. So if you make $100k-150k and have like 8+ years of student debt, saying they won't be "well-off" until they are around 40 seems pretty realistic to me.

    Gotcha. I have full UE, a reasonable Yang's + DML and both Danetta's, so I probably have speed farming covered. Cube and forge about to get fed.

    Bads!! They're all BADS!! But yeah, that's pretty true. The best female gamer I know I would describe as competent. She's a contributor when we do multiplayer stuff rather than someone who gets dragged along. The rest have all been "LOL I HAD MARIO WHEN I WAS A KID" then proceed to...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Any use (outside of cubing) for things like the elemental dmg bows, Calamity, K'Mar Tenclip, Fortress Ballista, Lianna's Wings, Buriza, etc? Is there some good LoN build that makes use of them? Diablofans continued problems with showing builds is screwing me on researching item utilization.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, I always thought I wanted to date a gamer. Over time, I realized I often play by myself even when friends are available so I can play at my own pace, do what I feel like doing, etc. So if my GF gamed and always wanted to play together, it would probably piss me off. What I actually...

    Other DHs: are there any bows/xbows/hand xbows worth holding on to with a good/ancient roll besides Yang's and Manticore?

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I took this approach with my ex. We have many, many mutual friends and we haven't seen each other since the divorce. We don't talk or text, I blocked her on FB to make sure I wasn't getting constant updates about her life, etc. It really helped close out that chapter and move forward...

    I get the feeling the season frenzy is calming down. What were your goals for the season and have you finished them? Mine were: - Get stash tab - done - Get to 600+ paragon - done - Do GR60+ solo - done with DH and Crusader - Don't stash too much shit - well, you can't win 'em all I...

    It's odd seeing someone who likely isn't stupid just not get it. It's like they put a 13 year old from a wealthy family in a 30 year old businessman's body. He's going to get Fed-raped in a courtroom at some point. When you make a vast amount of money, 99.999% chance you did some legally...

    FWIW, it worked out first try with several non ancient pieces subbed in where I had been using ancient set pieces. You are right, the gear standard isn't that high.

    I do worry that the herd of sociopathic narcissists shitting up social media in the name of feminism are making me a little too skeptical about sex-related crimes. In fact, I worry more generally that social media's signal boosting of loudmouthed imbeciles turns me off of causes I would...

    Yeah, that was confusing. What exactly is the sexual assault accusation? That he yanked on her hair while they were making out? That's a dick move, and could be simple assault. But sexual assault? What am I missing?

    Finished off a GR60. Thanks for posting your Invoker setup, DW. It pointed out a couple of tweaks I was missing. So for the stash tab (the ONLY thing I give a shit about in achievements), I have 3 gems at 52 and 1 conquest left (Avarice is done). My LoN blessed shield setup is right on the...

    I also thought 100ish was the theoretical ceiling, and even that was well past palate comprehension. Sounds like the "hottest hot sauce" scenario. At some point, all you taste is burning and sadness. Or in this case, an overload of grapefruit and pine.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The free set is tied to the season journey. Since journey is account wide, only the first character completing the goals gets the 3 "gifts" that yield a set. The gifts give set pieces for the character class that opens them; so if you save them, you could get pieces for multiple characters...

    All HGTV shows ever: "Tim and Jill are first time home buyers. Tim is a struggling musician and Jill is an admin assistant. Their budget is $875K." WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?! Where did these two chumps scrape up a $875K budget? Do they run a fucking high-end escort service on the side? Goddamn.

    I had no idea what the exchange rate was, I just like talking shit about Canadian money. Though in college, when the interweb was young and the Canadian exchange rate was even more in favor the the USD, I found I could buy games off a Canadian website and get them cheaper than US stores. Dat...

    You don't have to duck her. Just tell her you'd prefer to go your separate ways, and be polite but brief with conversation if you are around her with friends. She'll probably get the hint and minimize interaction with you.

    $120k is Eomer's salary from his business, which is not the same as his income. He makes additional money as an owner of the business. He was saying he lives well within the means of his $120k salary and with his other income considered, $20k wasn't that much. Just remember: it's all...

    This sort of happened to me with my ex. I don't think she was consciously in it for the money, but I think it was a lot easier for her to stick with the relationship (and implore me to do the same) when she had very little financial means and she couldn't maintain a "normal" lifestyle on her own...

    Holy shit. You and I live in different worlds. If the money truly means nothing to your finances (in which case, I envy you), I'd tell her "thanks for the memories, debt forgiven" just so you don't have to stay connected with her over what will likely be a long payoff process. But for me, $20k...

    Yes, this is good. I spent several months pondering lessons from my train wreck marriage. I think that pondering helped me figure out what I was looking for and what to watch out for when I started dating again, as well as some ways I could handle things better in relationships. Cutting off...
