It seems like Beric/Thoros alluded to a mental/emotional toll, yeah. But the reason Cat is the way she is, is simply because she was in terrible physical shape when she was brought back. She wasn't just stabbed in the heart or hanged or anything relatively simple like the stuff that killed...

Chain restaurants are the worst for this kind of shit. For example, at Olive Garden the server is required to a) describe one of the featured wines to you (which they are holding in front of you at the table), b) offer a free sample of the wine, c) suggest 2 alternate alcoholic drinks, d)...

In all seriousness, I personally don't mind you posting updates. I'm the one who originally asked about the progress people were making. Do you have an end goal in mind in terms of weight or body fat percentage, or perhaps some physical activity you want to be able to do?

It rustles my jimmies that every grocery store/pharmacy has its own card now if you want to actually get a decent price for shopping there. *edit* another rustle just occurred so I'll tack it on here: head of HR at my company just edited something I wrote. She changed "in which all employees...

I can't believe the goofy kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun has turned into one of my favorite actors.

I imagine money of any size is difficult to handle when your fingers are sticky with maple syrup and frozen from the Canadian winter winds.

American money being all the same size/color rustles my jimmies. After using foreign currency for several years you get used to how nice it is being able to pull cash out of your wallet simply based on size and/or color. And still on the topic of money, coins in general rustle my jimmies. I...

This has been my reasoning as well. The way I see it you've got two ways to deal with pizza/junk food cravings when trying to live a healthy lifestyle: 1) Avoid the foods altogether and just try to overcome them via pure willpower. This is obviously idea if you're on a strick diet like Paleo...

There's a pretty lengthy thread in the Products Review section (I think) of this forum where Rosetta Stone was discussed at length. There are three things that really rustle my jimmies about Rosetta Stone: 1) The insane price tag. There's no reason it needs to cost as much as it does. The...

Mad Men still works prefectly well for mindless entertainment. I don't understand any of the themes are intellectual shit they cram into every episode and I still thoroughly enjoy each one. I thought this last episode was great just cause it was so weird and hilarious at times.

The worst Final Fantasy I played was something like "Final Fantasy Adventure" for the original Game Boy. It was horrible, and I'm pretty sure I got stuck in an area because I ran out of mattocks and couldn't break the rocks to move further, but there wasn't any place to buy more that I could get to.

Every other monologue in the history of film pales in comparison to this, the king of all monologues. /Thread

The best monologue in the Godfather Trilogy (from the beginning to 1:00):

Boil them!!!

Oh I agree 100% that tests are flawed. Unfortunately I'm just a teacher and not a curriculum designer. Teachers have some freedom in terms of grading but we're still heavily limited by department curriculums. I guess you could say that it rustles my jimmies. Anyway, even speaking can be gamed...

Actually, no, she didn't "learn the language". Yes, she was able to ace every grammar test, but she couldn't hold a simple conversation worth a damn. Learning a language involves a lot more than simply memorizing grammar rules and vocabulary. Had she actually come to class and participated in...

That's a fair point. It's a language class, so attendance (i.e being present and using the language on a regular basis) is pretty important. Scoring routine 0s on the in-class speaking assignments is the primary reason her grade dropped under 70 in the first place. The overall grading system is...

I just submitted my final grades as well (college level students). 70 is the minimum for a "pass", and I had one student with a 69.70. What did I do? FAIL, mother fucker. The administration office asked me to round her grade up and pass her but I said hell no, she got what she earned. She blew...

My main problem with living in Balitmore is that the nicer areas tend to be right across the street from shitty areas. It's not like D.C, where you've got huge areas of similar income living together; in Baltimore you can have a nice, upscale apartment on one block, and the next block will have...

Is there a cohesive timeline/story linking all of the Final Fantasy games together? I've only played a handful of them here or there and I was always curious if they were somehow connected if you played them from 1 to XXIIVL or whatever the latest one is.

co(conut oil)aine is a hell of a drug!

David the Gnome was awesome. Years later I remember watching Happy Days and thinking "HOLY SHIT IT'S DAVID!"

Everything you said is wrong and doesn't work when dealing with the crazy. Like you said, you've never dealt with it. Wombat is on point with his assertion that emotion is, ironically, the best way to deal with it. And then the awesome crazy make up sex happens, which is the one shining...

I did my first shave with the stuff I ordered a few posts up. I wish I had switched to wet shaving sooner; this was by far the closest and most comfortable shave I've ever had and for the first time in my life I didn't immediately feel irritation after. It was an enjoyable experience from start...

Yeah, vanish -> doom for bosses and vanish -> x-zone for trash. There was that one area where magic wasn't useable...was that the Phoenix Cave? Or the Cult of Kefka Tower? One allowed only magic, and one allowed no magic if I remember correctly. Whichever it was, it always fucked me up...

Really good job. And the fact that you've done it over the course of 2 years and managed to maintain it is even better. By the way, your gym looks amazing. I'd kill for a rock wall in mine.

FFIII was ruined for me the day I discovered vanish -> doom. I'm too weak-willed not to use it. Although wasn't this fixed in later editions of the game? I've only ever played the original SNES version.

I'm going to buy a new gaming laptop in the next 1 - 2 months and I'm curious if anyone has recommendations. I'm buying it to replace my current Asus G-something-or-other that I bought 4 years ago. Despite being 4 years old it still runs like a beast and has survived trips to several countries...

This. I was half-hoping he'd somehow survive because he was so awesome. Looks aside, I think the portrayal of Daario is on the right track; the guy playing him certainly has Daario's confidence and swagger.

Having dated women in the USA and abroad, I can say that all women are crazy, it's just a matter ofhowcrazy they get. Your post reminds me of my crazy, Russian ex-girlfriend who was so crazy I ended up fleeing a country to escape her. Sadly those posts were on FoH and are gone now. Anyway...

The coolest thing about this episode was that I felt like I was on drugs when watching it. I was just as confused as Don by the jumps in time and overall weirdness of everything. I'm still confused about why Dawn was missing all of last episode. I was expecting that to play a role in this...

I cried when Cyan's family died from the poison. I can't believe such a cartoony game was so dark.

I can tolerate hating on boiled chicken. But hating on dumplings? What. The. Fuck. Dumplings are amazing. Seriously though, I never realized boiling chicken was so rare. I started doing it years ago when I was living abroad among savages in Kazakhstan. They cook all their meat by boiling for...

I'm glad they didn't go with the colored beard for Daario. I don't think that would have translated very well to TV. I like the casting choice for Daario, although I'm not looking forward to the teenage love story between him and Dany. Hopefully they keep that to a minimum; there is already...

I boil everything, Samwise Gamgee style.

Yeah, it's become one of my staples when I don't feel like cooking anything complicated. I often put 2 - 3 pounds of chicken in a big pot on Sunday afternoons and boil enough for the entire week. Sometimes I season it with salt/pepper/other spices, but sometimes I'll just leave it plain. Like I...

"Advice about starting to cook food for myself" is a pretty general statement. Are you looking for specific recipes? Do you have any cooking experience? What kinds of things do you like? I linked this website back towards the beginning of the thread and I think it deserves to be linked here...

I loled.

I've got a package on the way from Russia filled with Kinder Surprise. Stick it to the Man!

The entire network should have been nuked from orbit the second they changed the name to "Syfy".
