    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I can sympathize with DW's desire to drill down to details and overfocus on the argument. I am also an engineer. However, this is more of a big picture problem. It's not "she better give it up cuz I like sex", it's the loss of physical connection with your monogamous partner. Maybe...

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    The article has quotes from the girl's police interview on the subject of remorse. Weier on what it means to kill someone: "I believe it's ending a life and I regret it. The bad part of me wanted her to die, the good part of me wanted her to live." Geyser: "It was weird that I didn't feel...

    Thats Racist ! (Rich old man in LA buys and sells black folks)

    The article about the video. The best part is the woman's retort at the end. After flipping out & screaming "n*gger" at the guy repeatedly, she insists she's not racist because she has a black cousin. Wonder if she yells "n*gger" at the cousin too.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If you let serious unhappiness linger, it tends to build upon itself and manifest more problems. There's no shame in seeing a counselor and trying to work some stuff out. It beats sitting around resenting your wife and living a life of frustration. And if it doesn't get things worked out, I...

    I agree they won't. However, that doesn't change that numerous people in this thread would like to see it happen. Which is what I said was a surprise.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Sometimes it's good to hear that things can get better when things aren't going well in your life. Thanks, Joeboo. Any particular reason you are hesitant about seeing a counselor? Like did your wife strongly object to it, is it a personal dislike/non-belief in it, or something else? If the...

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    The biggest surprise for me in this thread is that a board which, at least according to the politics thread, leans heavily left favors lifetime imprisonment or capital punishment for 12 year olds. And that's what I love about the board, it always keeps me guessing. In fact, one of the...

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    Devious seems pretty far-fetched since they bumblefucked their way through an attempted murder they planned for months, then confessed to the whole thing in great detail under what appears to be light questioning. But still, point taken on the state of the system.

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    The most troubling thing is their complete lack of empathy & remorse. It doesn't bode well for their future decision making. However, they are both 12 year olds and we have a juvenile system for a reason. The article said they could be held until they were 25. They could literally be in...

    Friends of friends and activities/organizations related to things you like are solid. You can always roll the dice with online dating. I'm far from an expert since I've been out of the game for ~8 years myself.

    Apple agrees to buy headphone maker Beats for $3bn

    Back when everything was analog, Monster had a semi-legitimate case for their massively over-designed products. All that multi-layer shielding and extra copper can't make an awful signal good, but it can protect a very high quality signal from noise (a probably imperceptible amount) better than...

    The 90s kid thread

    I watched these two movies an uncountable # of times. The 90s were a golden age for SNL movies. Just realized this also came out in 1999, though I don't think I saw it until the 2000s. A lot of it was filmed very close to where I worked right after college.

    Rough spot, man. If someone spends their entire date with you talking about their ex, you can rule out anything past a one night stand. If that sounds good, follow advice given. Otherwise, next up.

    Thats Racist ! (Rich old man in LA buys and sells black folks)

    He may be a semi-senile old-school racist, but the dude is apparently a sharp lawyer. I doubt he can beat the NBA, but he probably can drag things out forever and make them wish they had just dropped the banhammer and left well enough alone. Worse, he has a nearly infinite war-chest of funds...

    Thats Racist ! (Rich old man in LA buys and sells black folks)

    It's the NBA's constitution that has the 3/4 vote clause. I'd have to go pull up an article, but there's a broad "conduct detrimental to the league" or similar statement they would use to force the vote. It's very open to interpretation, I think the real question is whether he has standing to...

    Big sponsor $$$$. Something like 20 dropped the Clippers/NBA overnight. They started coming back after they penalized Sterling. Also, props to Iannis on digging up a Linda Tripp pic. Which would you rather bang while being recorded: Tripp or Stiviano?

    Thats Racist ! (Rich old man in LA buys and sells black folks)

    I personally don't care if he's forced to sell the team. From what I've read, he took great pleasure in being seen around the team and as the guy who ran the team, and the sanctions take that away. Just be happy the old bastard got what he's had coming for 20+ years. He'll fade away and die...

    You're saying you think they'll drop the lifetime ban in less than a month and hope no one notices they are the biggest fucking hypocrites on the planet? Seems legit.

    Thats Racist ! (Rich old man in LA buys and sells black folks)

    Some interesting takes on the issue here. I listened to the recording, and Sterling's reputation precedes him. Read up on the guy, this incident is like the 15th time he's engaged in openly racist douchebaggery. Yes, I'm sure his sycophant whore-on-the-side set him up the bomb, but bear in...

    male rape survivors

    I've had two situations where girls crossed the line of good taste going after me. Both times I would probably have willingly banged them, but I was dating someone else at the time. One of them was friends with the girl I was dating and she gave no fucks about her friend or my refusal to...

    Drinsic, I think you need to live with a rape victim family for a week so you can solve racism. At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

    Interesting take. Male vs Female look at the situation, I guess. Well, if you are alright with it then I don't think I can muster total outrage on your behalf. Her duplicitous cuntitude at the end & right after would really piss me off, you are a better man than I.

    So your ex broke it off with you to start fucking married dudes? Classy. I assume this is to justify in her mind that it was ok to fuck other dudes while you two were married. But hey, I'm no psychologist. RE: fucking the ex. I'm pretty sure you could, and since the divorce is already...

    DMBTyler reliably mass IDs legendaries in the morning before work, around lunchtime, and right after work. If you look at his status in the clan screen between those times, it rapidly switches between "Act V - Torment VI" and "In Menus". So either he has the highest tolerance on the planet for...

    I know this is sarcastic, but I used to carry a large pocket knife around. There's no way I would have tried to knife fight a psychopath. Gotta look for an opportunity to fuck him up him when he's focused elsewhere (e.g. stabbing someone else). Whoops, forgot we were doing it gamer style...
