    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Best thing to do when people privately go full racist is to double down and see how far the rabbit hole goes. Next thing you know you're re-enacting scenes from American History X.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    If you want to 'play the shit out of' a game, I don't get the hesitation to pay a monthly fee. I can understand wanting to log in a few times a week or even month to play with some people and not wanting to pay $15, but if you're playing 20hr/week, that $15 is inconsequential.

    Have fun, let us know what demo's/games you like and be prepared to go through some technical problems before it works. Took me an hour from first power on to the first time I was able to get an image working, thought I'd have to RMA it, lol.

    McGregor:Aldo::Chael:A. Silva Then again Chael almost beat Silva. But a big difference is that a wrestler that can duck and charge at Silva and spam double legs is one of the good archetypes to beat A. Silva who always had a much more distinct and specific style of fighting. Aldo OTH is a...

    You're making a lot of assumptions here, many things can impact why someone does or doesn't like their class. I like linear algebra and use it every day, but my linear algebra class in college was a nightmare. The text we were using was some kind of alpha version of a text the college was...

    Yeah the jury for us is a dog and pony show. We get to go in, repeat our "These guilds are PKs working with the opposite faction and we are murdering them across the game!" and the jury congratulates and thanks us.

    Buying a bed.

    Yep. It's rare that making your own furniture with materials bought new is ever cheaper than buying cheap furniture. Especially if you don't use shit-tier pine like I do. Someday I could see myself being an old man who buys antique furniture and picks it apart and builds new furniture from it...

    JJ tried that shoulder/elbow jerk against DC too, but didn't have the same success. I wonder why we don't see more of that? Someone having their underhooks on you seems universally bad and it seems like a good counter if they relax their arm momentarily.

    Haha that's what I did before I made that post (Cradle of Sullevin). I mostly wanted to get a Seer Staff. After an hour I'm like, "What am I doing? This game isn't even that hard...".

    Black Desert

    Nope indeed, too bad, BD looked really beautiful. What's funny is that games like AA or BD would probably be much more liked by hardcore PvPers if they had an alternate rules server that removed karma/crime/tendency/whatever from the game along with a bunch of other stuff.

    Had some fun PvP last night. We declared war on Desolation a couple nights ago because their leader was harassing one of our female members and talking shit: Last night we stole his merch ship and took it to FD. They, Marked, some EPK and TWO showed up in force and it was a battle...

    We're unlikely to accept a surrender from Marked under any terms. But a public request for peace would give us pause. And having the parties involved in the shit talking board one of our black pearls to formalize the agreement would be very satisfying.

    I use 100% streaming and downloading, but I only watch MMA. My inlaws came over on Sunday and wanted to see the Packer game so I worked some free streams, it was awful.

    I've basically worked myself into a position at my job that would look for PhD or well-authored graduate degree holders, I feel like being hired for a similar job would be impossible. So for now I'll just sit tight, but if anything changes I might just take a few years off of work and go back to...

    Yeah it's rare that a sea battle ends from one ship blowing up the other. Usually only happens when the captain of the lesser-manned ship is much better than the other captain. Or the people on the better-manned ship are lazy. Or the ships are generally too even to effect a board. The speed...

    Not really, they have some good/geared players but didn't have the numbers to really put up a true fight and didn't have the heart to fight a guerilla style war. They poked the bear so hard anytime one of them left a peace zone and got spotted by someone in PRX we'd put a call out to go hit...

    I have a couple friends with these bullshit indefinite engagements. It makes no sense to me either. For young people I think the girl pressures the dude to put a ring on it, but then wants to wait for years until the dude can get enough money to buy her all the shit she wants before they leave...

    Maybe I'm dumb but I think the hohum way it intended indicates it's true. If he starts some other crazy bullshit to keep the drama rolling I'll probably change my mind, but he more or less ended it with, "see you guys in a few months when it's over."

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yep. The mind of a cheater is a foolish one. Usually they mentally build up reasons to victimize themselves in order to stave off feelings of guilt while committing the affair. Covering their tracks makes this more difficult and they'll instead favor a less discrete, "If they catch me so what, I...

    The worst thing about the PI was giving him a feed to it. I bet most PIs would do the investigation and take at least a few days to build a report of the affair. It's probably best to keep the client distanced from the scene as I can imagine a lot of clients would see the first bit of evidence...

    I imagine it's hard to arrange a meetup without calling and being called by the enabler. Personally I'd just create a throwaway google account and use that, then call only when necessary. Explaining all the fucked up texts is impossible, explaining a dozen calls over a week is hard. Explaining a...

    The war with Marked is pretty much over. They privately asked for peace a week after declaring all out war. Two of their leadership betrayed their guild and stole from them. I heard most of them are leaving the guild or joining Last Resort (another PK guild). I don't see them together often...

    What should she do instead? Having a second phone would be suspicious. She's probably too dumb to have a virtual phone. Communicating only via email/text in a separate account would be cumbersome. Locking down her phone suddenly would be suspicious.

    Yeah parts of the story seem fake to me too, but I have to imagine there are PI services where it's one old guy who saw too many cop shows, a car with tinted windows and a few pension checks worth of surveillance cameras just sitting around watching The Wire on repeat until someone calls his...
