See, it's proof Socialism doesn't work

"Kurwa! We're falling behind schedule on these patches... Hey, Wojtek, drop the IT security **** you're doing and help us with this!"

I had some leakage issues on first fill. I had to address them (sealant came into play), extensively test to make sure nothing was leaking any more and I gave it a couple days to make sure everything was dry, even though I was 98% sure no liquid got on anything important. Finally plugged it in and got it up and running.

Just do what Vancouver (?) did and slap a tax on unoccupied houses which makes it economic to have tenants instead of rely solely on house price inflation. Good lord, these impeachment speeches are interminable. Cicero these guys most definitely are not.

Doesn't this just f----g figure? Bitcoin Tops $48,000 for the First Time Oh well...

Not sure if that's a PC or a a part of your truck engine.

I don't really feel bad per se, I just know virtually everyone expected more of me, like graduating with honors or being valedictorian. In hindisight it all seems so ridiculous. Here's the thing: I didn't work hard, outside of the insane time comitment. That's... not the way learning (or being taught) works for me. My grades always depended on whether or not a teacher would accept that or not. My math teacher in years one, four and five didn't. Hence the bad grades. She couldn't fail me because I got good grades on the exams, but she sure as hell wouldn't give such a lazy arsed student any slack*. No sir. In our final graduation exam we had two math parts, one was graded by a different teacher (straight A, or at least our equivalent) and hers was barely a passing grade. I can only assume that she was the type of person who always had to work hard or study hard to grasp certain concepts. She also taught programming in our first year, where I barely got a passing grade, teachers in later years gave me an A without bothering to look at the programs I've turned in. There was a teacher who told me that the biggest problem I have is that I never learned how to study. To this day, I still don't know what that's supposed to mean. Once I was forced by an English teacher of mine to join a special extracurricular English focus course that was meant to help students with learning disabilities to keep up with the other students after getting a perfect 100% test score on every single god damned test we had because I didn't seem to be paying attention in class and when pressed for an answer couldn't explain what ridiculous grammar rule I applied to get to the correct result on something or another (I think it was reported speech, which is supposed to be "hard"). I only knew the correct tense to use, not why it was the correct tense. *Okay, so here's a little more info on this, I've posted that before but it's buried somewhere in a locked thread and looking something up on this board is annoying, to say the least. In order to be actually accepted into the course at the time, you needed to pass something similar to your SATs, only at a level for 14-year-olds. Roughly one in ten students manage to pass. We had 2500 applicants this year for the five year course, and 220 were accepted (one of them me, obviously). When I graduated there were 48 people left, however, not all of them were from the group of 220 people who passed the application SAT, because if you fail a class you can repeat a year. You can do this twice. Fail a third time, and you're out. Half of the people who graduated with me were what we called "repeaters" - students who had to retake at least one year. The teacher in question began the year by telling us that she'll be giving copious amounts of home work, but that is merely for our benefit. It's optional, but highly encouraged to turn it in. Already strapped for time with all the other homework and commuting, I just didn't do any math homework. Now I'm there, obviously not paying attention to her (because at the time I didn't know yet I was supposd to make people feel like I listened to them, instead of just listening to them when they speak) and not taking any notes (mostly things I already knew, first year is just there to weed out the dum-dums that somehow made it past the application examination and bring everyone up to the same level). It ended with her telling me halfway through the semester that homework is no longer optional, and I'd better spend the the Christmas holidays catching up with all the homework I missed. Why thanks. Why the change? Well becaus roughly half the class failed the first math exam but I didn't, but they showed initiative in always turning in their homework. Luckily for her she didn't have to give me the A I was due because she claimed it was impossible to read some of my numbers (couldn't argue with that, my handwriting is horrible). Oh, right, and she was also the teacher that was organisationally reponsible for our group of students (we were group 1C, i.e. 1st year, third group, out of six). When I ended up not failing the year she just had me transferred out of her group of studens. Screw you, hag. Really. The more the years went on, the more I applied the same concept. I barely took notes on anything, I never studied at home. I only did homework for classes I liked doing. I stopped caring about my grades, thanks to being treated unfairly. Heck, I started skipping classes, which I've never done before. That's actually on my graduation diploma. "Missed over 200 hours at school with no leave of absence." Yay? And yet... I somehow muddled through, on a 5 year course that drops 99% of all applicants (and 85 to 90% of all those that were accepted). Ami is what I could have been. With a little understanding and encouragement. Too much to ask from teachers, I suppose. edit: I also hope that explains why I dropped out of university over a silly basic math course. No more. Until here, and no further. Seems silly to draw a line in the sand like that.

Hunie Pop 2: Double Date - I'm playing it for the articles.

I love the concept of the game but find I stop playing because the difficulty can't be changed or scaled in game which seems like such a basic feature to have missing. It's frustrating to die over and over and over again trying to kill of certain creatures for those who want to play solo yet I can't change the difficulty from medium to easy without starting over completely. The more frustrating part is needing to sign up for this forum to provide feedback because the one in game just uses face emojis which seems like a waste of time because you can't give context as to why you are upset. I hope these very basic problems get addressed soon.

It's a stylized Aedyran similar to the Oathbinder Sword, but the Avowed hand appears to be bringing some "Joy" to the party. In a roundabout way, relying on spells for basic emotions seems pretty on-point for #TeamWoedica.

Hi everyone, first post here! I’ve recently just finished my first play-through and had such a blast. Now I'm about to start another playthrough and wanted some help planning my party for this round. I was hoping to make a 4 godlikes party for Normal or Hard difficulty, with one for each subrace since I just love the lore around the gods and godlikes. The main issue I’ve been running into has been planning the builds for the party. I'm afraid I am not as versed in Pillars' gameplay mechanics to create builds that balance: thematic coherence with each subrace + synergy to their passives + also being fairly competent as a 4 person party. I would possibly add Pallegina into the mix although I would love to keep it 4. Has anybody tried this/does anybody have any suggestions? I tried sifting through the forums but haven’t found too much said on this––but I would love to make this happen!

Well you've already finished the show at least once so I don't think I'll be able to finish first. I've been going really fast lately and want to slow down, but I'm struggling to find something else to watch or play that fits my schedule or mood. Maybe Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan will be a break from it, or I'll force myself to take a break after I finish R.

If landlords can't take a gunshot wound it's their own fault for choosing to be vulnerable to bullets.

I think it’s fair to say I’m not a communist because I do understand dialectical materialism. Humans are not inanimate objects on the conveyer belt to inevitable progress. economic behavior is human behavior and humans must act in their best interest as only they can understand what those are. They must be free to pursue what they want even if that’s not what’s best for them in the eyes of some folks. Economics is a poor lens through which to view a society. Not a great tool for shaping one either. Economies should be organic not directed

Now you're getting it - Guard Dog for President of the Communist States 2024, everybody!

LOL! Who wants to volunteer for the job of cleaning those things out?

We need to put these bum pods everywhere. That'll fix it.

If half of the effort that is put to prevent homeless sleeping in public places would be put in getting homes for them you would not have to worry homeless people sleeping in benches in metro stations. I mean there are estimated 4000 people in New York who live on streets, so even with New York's apartment prices it would not be that expensive for the city to find them place to live. EDIT: Although there are also ~80k people who live in city's shelters, so there is higher need for homes than I first thought "Home first then other issues" is probably best money saving policy that our government has ever invented.

I hope you get lucky with that fluid and it doesn't create to much deposits, it's a problem with coloured fluids I've heard. I like it though

US military struggles to answer how many extremists in its ranks well it looks like the United States military is about to get a friendly visit from the thought police. That’s one of the many things I just cannot stomach about the goddamn left. It’s not enough to win elections they have to make sure everybody is thinking “correctly” as they define it. And even in this article they flat out say they don’t know what “correct” will be. The military is a slice of the population. You will find every political and ideological stripe in it in near equal proportions as the population at large. The only thing that sucks for them as they are a captive audience. A lab rat to the government operatives who, if so inclined, can f—k with them without mercy or opposition.

I can assure you that there is no lack of pantsu... well, if you use the uncensored option there are most definitely scenes with lack of pantsu but that's probably not what the Twitter Tears™ were going for.

So i bought Troubleshooter, and it's really good. The generic dudes feel kind of better than my characters at this point though, seeing as how they don't have to run out into the middle of everybody to actually do something. Just finished the first (I think) story mission of chapter 2 and...wow. That was a lot of enemies. I kind of made the mistake of going the wrong way around a building, which ended up with me pinned between multiple groups of enemies, which hurt a lot. Probably shouldn't have split the group either (it was a story choice, and I try to be agreeable in most games.) Really glad I picked it up, and thanks @melkathi for bringing it to my attention, because I probably never would have heard of it otherwise.

No it's not, this was me emulating. Can't argue with that.

As if this is a concern on this forum. Sounds like you're a sociopath

If you're already content with your job and career and not completing the degree will affect it not at all, then there really is no point anyways, especially seeing as experience is almost always more valuable anyhow. I despise teachers like that. I had a couple of those - similar to you, they best illustrated to me how useless it was to actually try to apply yourself when you could just slack off and instead put in a minimum amount of effort at the very last second using a combination of being just a little more intelligent than everyone else (it's amazing how far being 'thoughtful' can get you with so many people...not everyone, but a lot of them), being able to absorb just enough information on the fly to get the right ideas, and a good heaping of BSing. To be honest, I never learned how to study or take notes ever - at a certain point, I became determined to spend as little time absorbing as little information as possible, because realistically, information I would need in the future I would re-learn at greater length and detail than I'd ever be able to do in school with its break-neck pace, so what was the point? Get top marks doing as little as possible, nothing else matters, . I cared more the last two years of high school than I did all the years previous and the years after. The reason? I had a run of a few really great teachers. Big surprise, .

Well on the other hand I did almost fail my last year of high school (due to doing almost no work lmao) and didn't have really good grades until I learned how to game courses.

Hopefully they are working hard on a fake demo gameplay video

Oh boy, projects were always my kryptonite. It's not that I'm necessarily anemic towards actually completing something functionally useful - I work on and complete projects of various technical degrees for my own purposes all the time, after all. It's more that I can't...roleplay and make up imaginary problems fitting ultra-broad goals and criteria and try to react to and solve them as if they're real. Give me something concrete that I actually need to fix or solve, and I can at least put mind to it and probably get it done. Alas, that's never how they ever went. Nevertheless, I did manage to finish four years of college with a 4.0 GPA...and I don't feel like I actually accomplished or learned a single thing the entire time. It takes real talent to be given so much and do so little with it, . I'm not sure if dinosaurs actually truly exist in the Sailor Moon universe. I can only assume that particular episode was total filler, and the writers went on a bender.

I suspect when announced Avowed might have been in very early stages - I think the idea was to communicate what Microsoft owned studios are up to: very much like they like to do with consoles. But yeah, no fake gameplay demo showing like a game will hopefully look and play in 3 years time. As disappointing it is to not know more, I will take waiting over unreliable promises.

Since there was some discussion about whether food prices had risen a week or so ago. The answer from the UN at least is that yes, they have been.

Miranda butt shots were utter cringe even back in ye olde times, and won't be missed. Retrospectively hilarious how inordinately proud they were of having body scanned Yvonne Strahovski given where Bioware is now- plus cutting the Jack romance for femshep because they were worried about Fox News of all people...

Because all of the save game issues my daughter and me are having...PLEASE GIVE US DEDICATED SERVER :). Sorry for the yell...it's a big wish.

Yes, crush damage is preferrable to pierce. If I'm mostly casting spells though I like the Lance equally well because of universal Power Level bonus. But you need to cast Woodskin or Form of the Delemgan to unlock Lord of the Forest which is a bit of a disadvantage comared to the "always on" bons the Spine grants you.

I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, I don't care I'm posting it again because it's that awesome:

I agree with this, we should be able to change difficulty in game, maybe not down but at least up!
