Wow, this is the most attractive group of guys in the world. We don't have hot red-state guys in Austin; they're all vegetarians and liberal arts majors and software developers and s***.

Closet city, too. I made extended smiling eye contact with like 10 people while waiting for the race to start.

Gonna run a marathon relay in Corpus tomorrow. Getting up in 5 hours. Wish me luck!

Not looking to win since we're not that fast; mostly looking to set a good time for myself personally.

My leg is on sand. Fun fun hot dog bun.

Going to sleep now. Night!

Legit tutoring, except by an attractive naked person. You walk away better understanding calculus or whatever and with a better grade on your exam, and it's all thanks to your tutor, who was naked the entire time.

A quick Google search suggests that this is a common-ish fantasy, which makes sense if you consider the popularity of Naked News, which is about people nakedly talking about normal, unexciting stuff.

Basically I'm wondering about the viability of a naked tutoring service. You could charge more! Because of the ~*~naked~*~

Kinda a lot. It's mostly about tone; there's nothing inherently horrible about that one consonant-vowel-consonant cluster unless you allow it to be.

The point of Simple English is that the reader doesn't have to get bogged down by not knowing the language. The reader is not an idiot, which those articles seem to be missing. Simple English is a good thing that smart people can make use of (I could probably go for a Simple Spanish or Simple Chinese wiki, for instance) but those are missing the point.

Without knowing anything on this topic, it sounds like there's a 75% marginal income tax on money over €1,000,000. What that means is that every euro OVER €1,000,000 gets taxes 75%, not that every euro OF someone who makes more than €1,000,000 gets taxed 75%.

Let's say that someone who makes €999,999 pays 450k in taxes. If you make €1,000,000, you don't pay €750,000 in taxes, you pay 75% of the euro in that tax bracket on top of the 450k, or €450,000.75.

Hope that clears the air.

Yeah, cheating a little. It's very push-button-make-car-go.

And I willingly traded my automatic for my dad's manual. It's a lot more fun and I feel more in tune with my car. Now it feels less like a tool and more like a toy.

Scariest part: Red light up a hill. Fortunately I've gotten pretty good at that too :D

Still getting used to it, but it's tons of fun and now an automatic feels like cheating. It's kinda hard, but I'm definitely getting there.

I kinda don't have a choice in the matter though because I traded my automatic to my dad :D

I just don't get why anonymous internet people talking s*** in a private/public chat is such a big deal. I mean who cares
I've been a part of this board for ten years. I care. Ten years. I speak to FD every single day. I care. I care about him and I care when people are just nasty. Sess is capable of being nice, he doesn't want to be. Fine. Great. Then I will show him the same kindness he has shown so many users.

oh my god learn how to get laid and maybe you will move beyond this phase where you legit care about people you'll never ever see irl ever

Hiya Sess. So I hear you like to make fun of people for being unsuccessful in life. You and I have always been fine but lately more and more I see ugly behavior from you for no real reason. I figure you are either off the drugs that keep you happy or on other drugs which inhibit your god damn good sense. I don't really know a lot about your substance abuse history and how that works out but I am just assuming it is one of the two.

I have my fair share of problems and god knows I am not the nicest person around. So come on, let's see how funny you are. We can have ourselves a good time ripping other apart with words until one of us gives up and runs away from the computer crying to write a suicide note. You seem to like to attempt to cause people to be miserable so I think that might be up your alley.

I have been coming to board 8 for almost a solid decade now. I sure as hell have wasted a lot of time here, but I like this place. The people are nice and generally mean well. Even people I don't like usually will add something to the board. This is supposed to be a community. If you don't like someone just say that. We share some harsh words but it isn't acceptable to go out of your way to disrespect a person about their life, especially when your life choices include being so miserable that you have to be mean and nasty to others in order to forget whatever pain you are in. Because happy people don't act like you do Sess. Whatever response or blow off you want to attempt to give isn't going to work on me. I see through you. Well I am pretty sure I am capable of being nasty too, and I am not so good to turn the other cheek like some people here are with you. So let's have a ball.

On a side note, Ulti stop trying to be cool. You are cool when you are being yourself and not trying to stand out from the crowd as some revolutionary badass. You should be ashamed of yourself, you are better than that topic.

You're a virgin and also apparently really fat

god being straight would be so easy

Absolutely. We've got a 1/10 chance that the other person even has a >0% chance of being interested in us. The first step is finding out if the other person is even gay. And if you're not into skinny, twinky boys, good luck. In my day-to-day life, there are tons of hot guys and tons of gay guys but no hot gay guys. Even the fruity hot guys are straight. Hot gays simply don't exist, unless you go to ~*~the internet~*~

It may be easier when I'm 21 because then I'll be able to actually go clubbing etc and say "hey can I buy you a drink" but really, you can't find gays unless you're on the hunt for gays in a place where other gays are on the hunt.

FRIENDZONING: A GAY PERSPECTIVE

Does friendzoning count if it's to avoid being a homewrecker? Because there's a guy I'd totally go for if I wasn't friends with both him and his boyfriend, or if he was single. In fact, if he and his boyfriend break up, I'm probably gonna go for it eventually, but I'm intentionally playing my cards really close to my chest regarding the fact that I think he's smexxxy because I want him to be happy more than I wanna sleep with him.

Also, I had a "let's just be friends" breakup once, and it was the most mutual thing in the entire world. "I don't think we should be dating anymore." "Me neither." "Wanna go to Dave and Buster's?" "Okay!" Again, not quite sure that was friendzoning, because it was a natural breakup that happened organically and now we're still friends. I don't wanna hook up with him again, though, because it ended really well last time and I don't wanna take that chance again, so maybe he's friendzoned now :/

That's... lofty praise for a game with a song like... this...

To be fair, most video game music is either generic or bad. IMO this is pretty good, and it's unusual. Especially since the entire soundtrack is acapella. I can't think of any other games that are (except apparently Crash Tag Team Racing, but I don't remember that)

I figured bio knew the topic was about domestic violence and he was suggesting letting his friends know that he hit his girlfriend but using a term that means not-quite-that for comedic effect.

I'd let all of his friends know that he totally hit that.

That will teach him a lesson.

That's actually a really clever idea. If he's the kind of guy to hit his girlfriend, he probably won't care about my disapproval, but when his friends start alienating him because he's a woman-beater then maybe he'll look seriously at himself.

Did he end it, or did you?

I guess what I'm trying to say is that ending it over something like this is a dick move, unless you're PROBABLY gonna marry this girl and they're not okay with her being a part of their family. Then you have to choose her or them, and I guess that's a judgment call only you can make.

I've had two relationships, one with a 25-year-old and one with a 31-year-old. My parents don't (at least officially) know I was dating either of them. They liked the 25-year-old and not the 31-year-old, but I didn't let it bother me because we were only together for a few months.

It's a great game but really I don't even know that there were arcade sticks for the systems it came out on, and PS2 controllers aren't good for fighting games. Besides, you can play for really cheap at any decent arcade.

I saw used PS2 MvC2 at a Gamestop for $70. It's totally ridiculous how much they can charge for that game.

Isn't he more the life-s***s-on-him guy? That's a lot more noteworthy than him being a fighting game guy. I associate other people with fighting games more strongly than pun, if only because the universe has been conspiring against Pun SO HARD.

P3 spoilers



I actually beat the final boss after Yukari full-healed her. That was stupid. Worst boss ever.

It isn't even all that hard, because the main character had something ridiculous like 99 strength and I just wailed on her while using Mediarahan every single turn. It's just a huge chore and a crappy ending to a way-the-hell-too-long game.





End P3 spoilers

I will say that P3 had much better music than P4, and P4 had damn good music.

P4 spoilers



I actually did the same thing with this one boss right before Adachi, who I remember was some sort of tower thing. I used physical attacks with everyone except one person using Mediarahan. It went triangle, get to Yukiko and press Triangle, X, X, press Triangle after Yukiko to reactivate rush. No thinking at all.

Bit of a risk of spotting something you don't want to see from the index.
I'm a dare devil.

Yeah P3 was total drudgery near the end. My file had 500 hours or something on it. I wasn't playing and grinding and stuff for 500 hours, most of that was turning the TV on, saying "f*** this," and turning it back off while the game was still running. Plus the hour-and-a-half final boss was ridiculous and not even all that much fun. Decent music but not for an hour and a half.

P4 was long but at least I didn't feel like I was hitting my head against a brick wall like P3.

Yes. You do nothing except beat games. Except you don't because you play mostly sports and fighting games, which you cannot beat. So you really do nothing.
