Whenever people bring this idea up, I always think of some 64 year old English teacher lady, one year from retirement, going full John McClane during a school shooting.

When I used to work with food, it was annoying yeah but it's still your job, the place is open for a reason and that's to do business. Now if you're talking about when you're closed and some dipshit comes by banging on your doors expecting something, those ones can fuck off.

It was ok, I don't think I would have enjoyed it if I didn't see it in 3D, though. The 3D was pretty great, and I felt like it was the only 3D movie worth watching during the 3D craze.

PUBG and WWE 2k18...I guess it would be like the Royal Rumble on steroids, 100 men enter, only one man wins.

Making money is fun, and having more money gives you a sense of power and freedom. People enjoy it in different ways: for some, it is purely greed and selfishness. For some, it's for family. I know some guys who work practically 24/7, doing triple shifts just to elevate their family's social status, usually these people come from a previously impoverished state. Or they're well-off but still want to leave something for their kids to live in comfort. And like others said, some people just enjoy working and being productive. Retiring and sitting around doing nothing sounds nice, but in actuality it's pretty mind-numbing and you lose a sense of purpose.

It's pretty hard to say "enough is enough" when it comes money. It's easy to say when you don't have money and being hypothetical, but once you see numbers grow it can become addicting. It's like chasing happiness with the "I'll be happy when...". When you have a girlfriend? A house? A car? And you're still not happy? Is a million enough? Will 5 million make you happier? Maybe 10 million is the sweet spot, and so on.

I know this is a troll post, but if you can't handle derogatory name calling, I don't think you're ready for the femdom life.

I'll do all I can think of if I'm stumped in a video game, but if it's exhausting and I'm out of ideas and just don't feel like figuring something out because it's time consuming, I have no problem consulting a guide.

It's one of those games I didn't understand the hype for either, at first. I watched some Twitch streamers, and read about it, and it just looked like some boring game where you loot then get killed. I also thought Fortnite was pretty dull. My friend bought the game and we game shared it on Xbox One, and playing it changed my mind completely. Yeah it has a lot of problems, but it's also a ton of fun and very addicting, especially playing with friends, and the thrill of being top 5 in a super tiny circle is exhilarating.

The only reason my video game collection would be in some random building is if some person stole it all and placed it there, and in that case he could burn for stealing my shit.

I don't know, I can't really comment, there's not enough information. If he truly is an addict and is playing the game excessively to the neglect of everything else in his life, I think she made the right move. But, if she's one of those women who demands constant attention and is upset that he likes to play video games, I think he made the right move. The article just says he played it too much from her point of view, just that he had late night gaming marathons and played all day, which could mean anything from he played it for 4 to 8 hours at a time or was one of those dudes who plays for 3 days with no sleep.

Besides GTA, what games even still had cheat codes since the PS2 era? I mean, I mainly have RPGs, but I can't find any games in my PS2 collection that I remember actually inputting old school cheat codes into to get stuff.

And you can "fully complete" just about every game without getting the achievements; what does "do repetitive task 100 times" have to do with fully completing a game? I dunno, I like achievements/trophies, it's cool when you get them, but I never attempt to get all of them even in my very favorite video games. I think I stopped caring about them when I realized no one in the world gives two shits what achievements you have and most of them were just dumb time sinks.

I have one of those friends who MUST get every achievement in every game he plays, and he sounds absolutely miserable playing each game. At that point it's a job that offers back no value. What's the point?

I used to love just making a big family and trying to do nothing to influence or control them and seeing what happens, the best thing I remember is the mother leaving her newborn baby on the sidewalk because she had to go run and pee and it was left out there all night crying in the rain. Lots of sims just pissing where they stood, too.

I think people are overly connected to the news, and the news is doing a better job at making every little thing seem like a major threat, this goes for both real news and fake news. There are some legitimate things to be anxious about, though.

The main city ruins area is a fairly vibrant green, there's a Lost Kingdom area in forests with waterfalls and streams and vast landscapes, and then of course the amusement park area is full of lights, just a few examples. I don't think anyone dislikes non-colorful games, at the time the first Gears came out, EVERY game was going for the grim, muted look and I think people were getting tired of it.

Obviously he's talking about right turns into businesses or side streets without lights/stop signs. I agree, I'll tolerate it a bit if it's a right turn into a really tight opening, but some people do it even when there's a wide area to turn into and you're just like wtf are you doing?!

But nothing well ever bug me more than that car that's not paying attention to a green turn arrow and then when he finally does notice it, turns as slowwwwly as possible through the whole turn.

Why would they be bothered? The whole point of culture is to spread it. As long as they're not mocking it and enjoying it, there's nothing wrong.

The only things I didn't care for were Finn's and other chick's sideplot (cared so little for her I have no clue what her name is) and I thought Super Leia was pretty hokey, other than that I enjoyed myself at the time I saw it.

I worked today, one of the only few people that bothered to come in but it was a very short shift and they got us all out of there. Got some cookies and donuts, too. Christmas is a paid holiday that I'm off.

I bet you're going to be one of those people who keeps a job they hate for 10 years, bitching to everyone within earshot about how horrible the job is and how horrible it makes life but for whatever reason never quitting said job and/or bettering yourself.

Uh, yeah, obviously. Who the hell looks in the mirror and says " damn, I really wish I could find me a man with a ton of issues that burden my life too"? Your only hope is finding an equally depressed woman so you can be miserable together.

My 30s have been amazing so far. Finally got my shit together, learned from almost all the dumb mistakes I made in my 20s, still youthful enough to move and look good yet at the same time have a more "mature" look, have a lot more disposable income to do more fun things, etc. The only thing that sucks is it looks kind of creepy if you're going for the younger girls in the 18 - 20 range and your dating options get a little more limited to women with kids and baggage.

No idea, probably a 50/50 split. Last two jobs I've had are places that employ tons of people with high turnover, so there's lots of different supervisors and managers I've worked under. If you just mean the bigger bosses that boss the underling supervisors, then I guess it would be 4 women and 4 men.

I don't know either, I have the time to do so but after 2 to 3 hours I really need a break. My friends can all game for hours and hours straight without getting bored, I just can't do it, it eventually just gets repetitive and I lose my enjoyment.

Anyway, people do it after work and on weekends, most likely. I'm already productive 40 hours a week, besides taking care of responsibilities at home, I don't care to be any more productive than that.

I've been pretty stagnant. Life is pretty comfortable right now so I've neither progressed nor regressed. The only thing I've really done I guess is make more money than I did last year, which was a goal of mine.

When she gets angry, I see that as quiet time from her finally and I can do what I want to do in peace.

sometimes I wonder what its like to be European and come to CE and see Americans making up wacky stuff about the state of your nation all the time

It's probably the same as when Europeans come on forums and make up wacky stuff that we Americans do.

A lot of RPG games like Skyrim and Fallout. I have a bad habit of creating a character, getting so far, then deciding I want to try a new, different character and I never really make any progress.

Well I mean there's evidence everywhere including record highs all summer but tonight was a little chilly so of course there's no global warming, duh.

I don't know, why was it almost 90 degrees F in Arizona at the beginning of December?

I know this is a troll post but I think by definition, liberal Democrats are never happy. Every one I've seen on forums, they're liberal because they're either depressed, get bullied, gladly to be cucked and disrespected, are poor more because it's their "right" to buy new iPhones over food than because of actual unchangeable life circumstances, and have constant identity crises and defined more by how many liberal buzzwords they can be than by actual character. Plus, they're generally slackers who do bare minimum work, so they isolate themselves and have way too much free time to be mad at anything and everything that even slightly makes them feel bad.

In reality have games started getting rid of boobs?

A long time ago, for Mortal Kombat X, they stated that the women would be now "realistically proportioned", basically a PR way of saying large breasts are unrealistic (the women in Mortal Kombat 9 all had large boobs) and no women have them, apparently. Western games in general have been trending more in very conservative outfits for women and B-cups are pushing the boundaries of realistic breast size.

I'm not reading 16 whole pages but the few pages I did read makes it sound like she wants to keep you probably more for security and to settle down considering she has a kid but the ex sounds like the guy who taps more into her primitive instincts to fuck the "bad boy" and be wild and "free". Basically, she's torn because she wants the safe guy to support her but wants the other dude to ravage her.

The only solution besides dumping her and moving on (don't build a future with a chick with issues, it sucks, dude, and will ruin your life) is to become involved in self-improvement and make yourself better in her eyes than her ex. You mentioned he's jacked, start working out, start taking control of things, and learn how to really fuck her well and she'll forget all about him.

If I absolutely had to pick one, either 1 or 3. They both look like they have ugly faces, but the best bodies of the 4. Ideally, I wouldn't pick any of them because there's no boobs, I need boobs.

When I used to work at a movie theater, there was one time I went into the back of the concessions area and an old man with his pants zipper a little ways down greeted me back there. I was like "uh...can I help you sir?" and he asked me, "is this the men's room?" and I was like "uh, no, let me show you dude". I walked him out and an old lady was looking for him, apparently he had dementia or some similar old people thing and didn't know wtf he was doing.

A bunch of crazy shit happens at theaters, I can't even remember half of it anymore though.

I heard from coworkers that they would walk in on couples having sex in the theater or getting BJs, I never experienced that, though.

I watched a little of that video a while ago, I think the thing that bothered me was that there were white people who were in the back with the black people but of course the camera only zoomed in on the black people in the back. I think there were 3 or 4 questions in a row I wouldn't be able to step forward on (only ones I remember were I only have a single parent and I had to pay my own way for college). The thing with privilege is that it tends to paint all and only white people as privileged while there are black influential families out there and there are poor white families out there struggling to survive.

I can't comment on the whole thing because I didn't watch all the way, but my girlfriend said it had a decent message that yeah some people get a head start but you can still proactively choose to make your life better.

I love Xbox consoles. My Xbox One is my primary console, with PS4 being my console for PS4 exclusives.

He'll probably be remembered as fondly as we remember Herbert Hoover from 100 years ago.

I'd go about my day as I always do, but I chose laugh because I'd probably laugh about it with my girlfriend and coworkers.

From what I can recall right now, I've only witnessed three (excluding ones I've been involved in). One of them, the car pulled out of a gas station opening a little too far to make a right turn and got hit by a car coming that way towards the light. In another one, I was in the far right lane, and there was a truck in the far left lane. I have no idea why, but he/she suddenly whipped into a u-turn right in front of an oncoming truck going the other way and got T-boned, the other truck had no way to avoid it. Last one I saw was in my college parking lot. Some stupid girl was driving down one of the aisles, and again whipped the car into a u-turn to get into the next aisle and smashed into a car.

No, it's not ok. They shouldn't be shamed (unless they're an asshole, then shame away), but they shouldn't be praised and "normalized" either. I don't care if Dove tries to shove it down my throat, but obese isn't beautiful, and I think "being happy with yourself' goes beyond just accepting who you are, but also continuously trying to improve yourself, and that includes your health.

At my job we get paid equally, but we shouldn't. The guys always get pulled to do the work the girls can't handle.

Someone explain to me why that's okay

This. I had one job where taking out the trash or lifting anything slightly heavy was "the man's job" and it was perfectly acceptable to everyone. Also, lmao about women being equal to men in labor jobs. I've worked in various warehouses, and women always get the easy jobs for equal or more pay. At my current job, we unload/load trucks and 95% of the women work half the pace the men do because they can't lift or push anything heavy. There's a couple that do actually bust their ass but they still can't keep up with the men.

The only one that annoys me is the dog ears one because every single female on the planet uses it and it looks so stupid. Other than that, I don't care. It is funny though seeing a chick who looks beautiful in an Instagram pic with perfect lighting, filters, brightness/saturation, etc. and you see a normal pic and she looks plain as fuck.

Like everything, some are legit, some are BS. I try to avoid ones with philosophies like "just tell yourself everyday you're awesome and you'll BE awesome!". Positive talk is good, but it's just a band-aid if you're in a shitty place mentally.

I really loved Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. It's about improving yourself first and foremost, and then goes on to improve your social skills. I've received a lot of positive remarks from people after I've tried following the advice in the book, from friends and from managers/supervisors at work.

I feel like you'd most likely just get sick of them, that's a lot of blueberries to eat every day.

How do you figure it's impossible? Most Americans go out to eat or eat fast food, have you looked at not only the portion sizes, but the sheer amount of calories in everything? If you go out to eat at a restaurant, pretty much everything is in the 1000 calorie to 2000+ calorie zone, this is not including appetizers and desserts, and this is just one meal. Hell, sometimes I go out with my girlfriend to get a milkshake, and a medium size one of those is like 900 to 1000+ calories. Also, some cultures take pride in preparing and eating tons of food (you ever get with a Mexican family, they looooooove food).

Plus, most of our lives is spent being sedentary now. People drive everywhere, lots of people work jobs where you sit for 8+ hours a day, then you come home and sit to watch TV/play video games. If you spend your whole day sitting, getting obese probably isn't a major change in lifestyle, probably just makes it difficult to move from one seat to the next seat.

As for the mentality of it though, I don't understand it. I've only been slightly overweight once in my life, and that was enough for me to get my ass in gear and do something about it. I don't know how people can balloon themselves up to morbid obesity.

One last thing, is that there is pretty much zero education on healthy eating or exercise. People don't know how to read nutrition labels, probably have no idea how many calories they need, don't really know what's healthy besides what an outdated food pyramid might say, and think a 10 minute walk negates a 2000 calories meal.

Uh, no? You can say what we did to Native Americans in history was bad, but actual Thanksgiving had nothing to do with harming Native Americans. It was when Native Americans helped pilgrims with their harvest, and it was celebrated by both pilgrims and Native Americans together. And the main point of the day is to be thankful for blessings.

Rarely, if ever. We both don't really give a damn. I don't even know if she voted or not.

It was a pretty fantastic game all around, the combat was a lot of fun, the story was ok, pretty standard anime fare (I'll admit I haven't achieved all of the endings yet, so this may change), and the gameplay has a lot of variety, going from hack n' slash to some old school shooter gameplay at times. The only con I have is that the open world is a bit too barren, big, and kind of a pain to traverse.

I don't know how hard you like your games, but make sure you do the intro segment on easy and just blow through it (you can't save your game at all until you beat it, and it's pretty lengthy). I tried it on Hard and beat my head against the wall when one mistake cost me 45 minutes and I had to start over. After you finish the intro, save the game and increase the difficulty if you like.

Honestly, no, I never had. I used to admit it to people back when I still was, and they just gave me generic advice that doesn't really work but they never made fun of me.
