Jesus fuck you get defensive goddamn immediately. No,I'm on your side.In times before I would have been one of the ones that would have maybe pointed to luck because of how large of a roll it can play but in my readings I came across what I thought was a very good explanation of the role of...

I have not confused luck with persistence, no.

Luck plays a large role in our lives both in our successes and our failures. John Grisham, before finally finding a publisher for his first novel A Time to Kill was rejected over twenty times. JK Rowling captains a billion dollar franchise and she was rejected seven our eight times. How could...

I'm a small sample size being just me but all the black NCOs that were either my instructors during basic/AIT or were in my unit at permanent party were all good guys. Actually every single one of them. You give people a fair shake and they'll exceed expectations. The military just happens to be...

I went on to do nothing with the degree I earned but the GI Bill let me get that degree while basically being paid to do so. I graduated without a single nickel worth of debt. The military really is a great option.

Just pitch him into the Source Wall. There, done.

I thought Rose McGowan was really cute in Monkeybone But then she started dating Marilyn Manson 100% untouchable after that.

The DVD is set to come out on the 7th of June. The S1 commentaries were gold so I'm very much looking forward to getting to rewatch S2 with them.

This sorta reminds me of Mystery Men I guess?

The pay gap does exist (for reals) but it primarily impacts two groups - 1. older women that are still carrying around some of the baggage of shitty pay from decades ago and 2. minority women. Your basic young white woman is exactly on par with her male equivalents. Older women getting screwed...

Nice to see Ben making a sequel to his 2003 blockbuster

I hope it's the opposite and this is to address Watchman's influence and set it aside at the story's conclusion. That is probably not the case.

Horrible!?! Next you'll probably tell me that you don't like DC's Rebirth arc with its meta-narrative about how much damage Watchmen did to comics with villain Dr. Manhattan exploding people and shit like this - Actually that does sound pretty terrible now that I think about it.

When I was seven or eight (so mid 1980s) early one morning I watched an episode of a game show I had never seen before. One segment had the contestants slapping their loved ones as hard as possible. The finale was Russian roulette. This poor woman put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger for...

Insurrection comes close and boy is it not better for it.

You were that guy in Intro to Philosophy that thought he was incredibly insightful, weren't you.

Meh, Discord wasn't all that great but I would be interested in a short term PvP server of some type.

You have the most boring existential crises.

How's this run on low end PCs?

If I had a cash mountain like that dropped into my lap it would be a countdown until I was broke again I'd be giving that shit away so fast. Not for any altruistic reasons either, I just don't think I could handle it. Even charity would be difficult. If I went to the local food bank and wrote...

Chronicles 4 bringing the heat.

Oh man, you bolded my admitted lack of experience. So it's a fight to fight thing then?

I don't have any idea what Velious is like but it just always seemed like a terrible idea to turn a premier damage dealer into +20% mana for one Cleric.
