Polanski arguably got screwed over by the justice system. They offered him some kind of deal and then were going to go back on it. At least that's the story of why he ran to France. Americans have pretty much no tolerance at all for even the appearance of judicial misconduct, so he gets...

Their strat works because they have three Rogues and a Monk tank to abuse Feint/Elusiveness/Shadowstep/Transcendence in order to soak massive smash with four people (Rogues + the tank). You need exactly this composition for this to work, most heroic groups won't have this so you can't rely on it...

Tank breakdown for top 20 WoWProgress guilds: 1 Druid 3 DKs 5 Warriors 5 Paladins 26 Monks

Yup, I get this from the fat chicks at work all the fucking time. I stopped bringing in huge lunches and when questioned about it I mentioned I did it because I'd gained five pounds doing it and it took me weeks to lose it again. I got bombarded with annoying sarcastic comments for weeks about...

I still maintain that people that have both the maturity and drive to commit 80 hours/week to both studying and football at fucking age 18 are an extreme minority at best. The recruitment process for in demand Division 1 football players routinely involves plying them with booze and finding a...

It worked "well" before because it used to be that simply having a college degree put you in the top 10-20% of the country. Simply having one guaranteed you a decent job. Sure, maybe you cheated your way through it. Prospective employers didn't know that. Today the college degree is the new high...

There's always outliers. There's also a reason one of the first things any university admissions office will tell you is, "Don't even think about working full time while going to school full time."

Division I NCAA football is a >40 hour/week commitment. It's pretty much impossible for these athletes to get any kind of degree of substance, they don't have time to study. This is also why academic fraud gets overlooked. You literally can't field a competitive team in Division I unless you...

They fixed most of the bugs with blackhand's knock up in 6.1. You can't bounce off the center partition or get launched to the sides anymore. The only way you can fail to get up there is to either be so close to the balcony that you're almost under it or clear on the other side of the room...

If the doctor you're seeing accepts Medicare, which is most of them, standard practice today is to double book every appointment slot. Based on how many people didn't show up, you end up waiting 1-3 hours. They have to do it to remain in business, Medicare pays so little and they never know what...

I'm not sure what your point is here. Callins don't get a higher priority. When we get something called in, we put it in the computer ourselves and it gets in the same line as everything else. Yes, this does mean that we could theoretically enter fake tests and make it look like we were doing...

Honestly, in my experience IT departments in general have a real problem with arrogance and perceived self importance. They need to remember that they are a cost center and a support department, and act that way. There's a lot of really arrogant shit policies that IT gets away with that would...

I can't believe they thought this was a good idea. There is a 13.7% chance that in one month at least one of the eight profession vendors will not have shown up at all yet, completely locking certain classes out of 680 crafted.

As far as I can tell, from going through LFG and seeing what's available on the AH, every garrison has the fur vendor today.

So, every garrison has the same RNG daily profession vendor and this vendor is the only source of the 680 patterns? So if RNG goes badly it could be impossible for a certain armor type to upgrade crafted to 680 for weeks or even months?

Tonight I couldn't get the lid off a reagent jar at work. Nobody else was in yet and it was urgent so I couldn't just leave it. I ended up having to take it down to the security station at the entrance and have him open it for me. He of course told my co workers about it when they came in, and...

Honestly, the anti-bully shit, while overblown, is better than the alternative. The problem is, if "fight back" is a realistic option then you don't really have a major bullying problem at your school. Bullies may be cowards, but they're smart enough to pick on the people they know they can...

It never ceases to amaze me how indignant people can get when you point out major failures. "You did less DPS than the tank." "I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN OK! STOP BITCHING AT ME FOR NOT BEING A LEET POOPSOCKER!"

I'm really wondering how they do these trials. They have to have a control group, and they certainly can't give the control group sham birth control and not tell them about it.

I am currently just laughing at the state of tank balance right now and happy that I picked the correct class for once. Not using a Brewmaster in BRF is worse than not using a DK in Ulduar was. When you're approaching every fight and the first thing you start talking about is, "OK, set up the...

I personally can't really chime in on this, as I'm the last person you want to take advice from on these kinds of things, but my sister actually did exactly this (visited a married ex-boyfriend in Germany and stayed at their place) and no real drama erupted out of it. So it is possible that it...

I can't help but remember that they did pretty much every single one of those sperm gags on Family Guy already. Isn't this movie's intended audience going to pick up on that?

Both options are bad. If they make concessions to Greence, Italy and Spain will demand the same concessions. If they let Greece ditch their debt entirely and leave the Euro, Italy and Spain will also do this.

Didn't you say you were 27 years old currently at one point? When did you two get married that you can already be over 10 years past the "spent every day with" part?

Greece is basically the nation-state version of the subprime mortgage borrowers that killed our economy. Yeah, they were stupid for borrowing so much, but pretty much everyone rushed to dump as much money there as possible. They did so because they believed Germany and France would not let the...

She was actually fired from her last job because she exploded at the parking attendant, yelling at her and throwing things. How do we know this? Well, she told us. She can't seem to grasp that this behavior was not appropriate, and believes the attendant deserved it for moving her parking space...

She does it whenever anyone calls her on whatever she's complaining about today. She will very often complain about things where it's very obvious that she was the one at fault or out of line, but she seems to be completely incapable of comprehending it. Seriously, its like a mental block for...

The Greeks absolutely were fudging the books and gaming the system, they just didn't start doing it until after they were in the EU already. Secret borrowing when you have your own currency doesn't really work, you just create inflation. It's much more effective when you're on the Euro and...

Not enthused about having to farm PvP gear again for PvE. People have finally figured out how stupid the Monk 4-pc PvP bonus on tanks is and we're going to see every guild that can afford to use nothing but Monk tanks in BRF. Two Monk tanks with the gear can AoE Guard each other every 15...

This is not actually true. Greece met the criteria when they were admitted. A few years after they were admitted the EU changed their accounting methods and under those methods Greece would not have qualified in 1999, but under the methods used in 1999, they did qualify. Even under the new...

Seriously though, what was the solution here? Austerity in Greece got their government running about a 4.5% surplus, before the debt interest payments were counted, of course. The point is Greece doesn't need to be loaned any more money. They need their current debt load forgiven. There is no...

I know exactly what she did. I know because this co-worker spent her entire work shift endlessly complaining about it and whining to every single employee about it as they walked in, completely oblivious to the fact that she's a narcissistic sociopath who thinks this trivial little thing...

Co-workers that are so fucking toxic and horrible that I find myself hating other people on the complete opposite work shift, whom I don't really even know and who have actually done nothing wrong, simply because whatever they did set off said co-worker and forced me to deal with another work...

In before "posting on an internet forum."

Don't go to law school. That field is so over saturated that unless you graduate in the top 25% of a Tier 1 school you have no job prospects whatsoever. If you don't go to a Tier 1 you have no prospects regardless of your performance.

It doesn't create gold, but it dumps trade goods into the economy at a ridiculous rate, making them all worthless.

You know, I never understood this, considering that in the vast majority of romantic comedies the plot is kicked off because either one or both parties to the movie relationship is sociopathically using the other party for some other hidden goal.

Another major problem/bug is that frontal armor rating is completely unaffected by anything that boosts armor. Also, every character and class, even if they're not wearing a shield or not even a warrior, technically has a frontal armor rating. This means that shield wall's upgrade does basically...

Tanks are kind of stupid right now with how the combat system is designed. It simply adds all the percentages together for each type of damage. For example, S/S warriors are immune to ranged attacks even if not wearing armor, because Turn the Blade (20%) + Turn the Bolt (50%) + shield reduction...
