Do you even IT bro?

Why the shit are you traveling with an expired passport, anyways? That shit should be somewhere safe at home, or destroyed. It doesn't have any more utility or legitimacy than a photocopy of your current one.

Opinions and points of view can be RIGHT or WRONG, just like facts can.

Fixed. Now, would you agree such a statement would be colossally retarded? Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing that Wal-Mart and Standard Oil are on the same level by any means. But I am saying that some companies really do have bad business practices that are negative for society as a whole...

What Brutul said. The speaker is on the back of the Nexus 4 as well, which doesn't help things. I haven't personally heard the HTC One, but it's got stereo speakers on the front. I would imagine it's a pretty big leap over the Nexus 4 in terms of sound volume and quality. I wasn't saying that it...

So hurtful big Ern

What the fuck does this even mean? Because people question Wal-Mart's business practices, they're being manipulated and being used as "a pawn in someones quest for power"? What the fuck does that even mean? Who's quest?

Thanks Draegan! You're swell! This is what I meant to post:

And why did they become the biggest, do you figure? Because they fucked over their employees and suppliers the hardest. So it would seem being the #1 target was well earned.

That's the problem. I AM the asshole. It's not like they're super fucked up or anything. They're just a little messed up. Basically her central incisors are rotated out a bit and overlap with her laterals. It's not a big deal at all, and I would imagine it would be super easy to fix.

Shit, that was supposed to be just her teef! Soygen delete! Delete!

Question: how best to bring up and suggest such a thing to the lady friend? After I fix her teef she'll be near perfect!

haha

Yeah, I'm still not following you. I believe you specifically mentioned that your Kilimanjaro hike was one of the most "real", non-manufactured experiences that you've had. But I would assume that you didn't do that hike buck naked. You probably had some reasonably decent hiking and camping...

I avoid Wal-Mart if only because I don't like associating with the dregs of society. That said, the clientele has improved, at least as far as I've noticed. When the first Wal-Mart opened here, it was out in the boondocks near a trailer park, so it was full of absolute filth. Now they've got...

Other than Vietnam, Korea and the two Iraqs, which of the dozens of conflicts the US has been involved in has the general US populace "felt" in the past 60 years? I'm genuinely curious how you think that it's any different today than it was 20 or 40 years ago. Because I just don't see it.

A limited intervention in Syria is hardly a "war" in the context of past US wars and interventions. Otherwise you're going to have to extend your timeline way back. Kosovo was 98/99 I believe, Iraq was bombed intermittently throughout the 90's, Afghanistan more or less the same, Sudan was bombed...

Yeah, that's what I figured. They actually called her yesterday afternoon and told her that they no longer suspected that she was trying to defraud them. The settlement they offered was actually pretty good, I think something like $4,200, and they said that since it will take a week to process...

No, she owns the car free and clear. Like I said, the insurance company (adjustor or whoever) is suspicious of her, and they have apparently had a private investigator looking in to it. The adjustor called me to confirm the time and date when it was stolen, and ask me a few other questions. And...

Yeah, the keys were in it. It wasn't a "shitty" alley necessarily, but it's still a back alley downtown. And yes, she did have a spare key in it, for retarded reasons that I still don't quite understand. But that still counts as stolen as far as insurance is concerned. I did want to give her...

Don't get offended if people aggressively point out faults, that's just the way things roll, even in this section of the board. In general, no, banks do not lend much money to small businesses being started by people who have little or no skin in the game. From their perspective, it's just...

Your specific idea aside, restaurants and bars have extremely high failure rates. In my opinion they are not something that people should attempt unless they are either already wealthy and won't be particularly upset about walking away from a couple hundred grand if it fails or they are...

I will give that a shot, and play it on my HTPC with a controller instead of my desktop with M/KB. Maybe that'll improve the experience.

Been driving a BMW for 10 years, over half of that out of warranty, and the only repair I've had to do outside of basic maintenance was a water pump with a cracked impeller. Otherwise they've been bulletproof. Dad and bro along with their spouses only drive BMWs and Audis, and it's much the same...

Yeah, no denying that. And I just feel terrible for her right now, life is taking a gigantic dump on her. Car is stolen two months ago, never shows up anywhere, insurance company is fucking her around, dad loans her a piece of shit 1998 Chevy Venture (AC doesn't work, power windows don't work...

They met at my Christmas party last year, no cat fights ensued. I think Xerxes is dating someone as well right now, judging from her FB. She gave me a couple suggestions of good local dealers to try, and names to drop when I'm there. Said that if her credit is non-existent she'll have a hard...

Withholding information about the car's history that you know full well from prospective buyers or outright lying to them is the fucking definition of ripping people off, you idiot. Even if he's successful, he now not only has to carry around the knowledge that he was dumb enough to buy magic...

Dang, the Nexus 5 seems almost kind of tempting. I love my Nexus 4, but 0.5" of extra screen real estate seems like a pretty awesome compromise between a larger screen and keeping the phone in my pocket. I really have almost nothing to complain about on the Nexus 4, outside of shitty speakers...

The first Assassin's Creed. I think it's kind of a sad commentary on the state of gaming that this supposed game sold so well. Graphically it would have been impressive for it's time, and the cities are cool enough. But the gameplay and combat itself? You may as well just have an "autopilot"...

That shrewd asshole. I said that he'd move the classrooms to the military installations, but vice versa is even more dastardly.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately I doubt they'll lend to a Canadian!

Ah, I thought that they would have had a pretty huge list of patents, given that they pioneered the entire smartphone concept.

Yeah, I told her to check with her bank this week on whether she can get a loan through them instead. I'll also be contacting Xerxes, who does car financing for one of the major banks. Power move.

To be clear I was talking about a beach resort, not a cruise ship. But all in all, not much difference between the two diet/weight wise.

I'm curious as hell who is going to buy Blackberry, and for how much. What a clusterfuck of destroyed shareholder value.

Bro, she won't accept my charity!

"It sounds like he's thinking of bombing Syria." It sucks. Really the only way to have avoided this situation would have been to have immediately helped overthrow Assad while much of the resistance movement was still secular, or at least not completely radicalized by foreign muslim extremists...

Excellent derail gentlemen! A job well done!

I was gonna say, on the couple all inclusive weddings I've gone to, I would easily be hitting 4,000 calories a day on booze alone. 15+ beers plus half a dozen to a dozen mixed drinks adds up extremely quickly. And when it's buffet style, it's all too easy to load up your plate too much at every...

So I sat down with the lady friend last night and did some looking on a few used car websites, and she seems to like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, and Hyundai Elantra. She's not sure if she'd want a 2 door, 4 door, or hatchback. She's probably looking at a 2008-2010, as her budget is only around...
