Its the Internet age. People these days get fired for having a poor credit score. The fact is that you're nothing but a number on a balance sheet to companies and if they get information that you're at a higher than average risk of doing something that could cost them a lot more money than...

My best friend's brother had some kind of film or multimedia degree and couldn't find any kind of job. He traveled up to Alberta and had a job working in the oil fields literally 3 days after arriving. No idea how that company managed to cut through the red tape so fast, or why they would be...

Most countries in Europe make it easy for you to go and work there, but becoming a citizen is virtually impossible. They're more than happy to have you help fund their social safety nets without benefitting from them much. The US makes it comparatively easier to become a citizen, but getting...

Women and their bullshit unanswerable questions. What, exactly, is an appropriate response to "Here, look at this picture of my teenage daughter in her prom dress and tell me if you think it looks too slutty." If you say no and the woman thinks yes, you're a pedophile. If you say yes and the...

Am I the only one that notices that the redpill philosophy is even more misandrist than it is misogynist? According to redpill, women at least make good relationship decisions some percentage of the time. Men, however, care about literally nothing but physical attractiveness and this never...

They even doubled down on herb requirements as the LW, Enchanting, and Tailoring daily cooldowns all require herbs now. Literally every crafting profession except Blacksmithing requires mass herbs for their basic crafting items. Even worse, some idiot had the brilliant idea to put in...

It takes 45 days of cooldowns, assuming you find sufficient ore to do the daily cooldowns every day, to make a 665 epic in WoD, which is the same ilvl as the first raid tier. That's a long time but in MoP it was 28 days for a raid tier-equivalent item so that's not a massive change. What is a...

Yeah, the crafting perks are gone. Also the actual crafting professions have absolutely ridiculous material requirements to both make armor and to actually learn the armor. Inscriptors, for example, need400herbs per set of 20-hour cooldowns (200 for their personal cooldown and 200 for a work...

What I want to know is, is there any reason for anyone to not just run 2 gathering professions? From what I can tell, the NPCs in your garrison can make the epic shit for you. Or you can just buy it on the AH since its all boe. The only perk to having actual crafting professions seems to be...

People who refuse to use the laxatives provided before having their colonoscopies, thus forcing me to literally dig through a pile of their feces to find the relevant polyp tissue that got taken out.

I don't think this is as bad as it looks. For one, they had to do something about Stagger because 100% Stagger is definitely possible in this expansion and that's just retarded. The new 45% Elusive Brew also meant that 100% avoidance would have been possible at some point in WoD with the old...

Deserter is 20 minutes now so this isn't really viable anymore. Also fuck Blizzard if they think I'm going to farm a full set of PvP gear for this one throwaway quest. I just got a bot program and will leave it on over the weekend, if I get banned then oh well they lost my sub to this...

Trying to do step 2 of the legendary cloak quest on Alliance is fucking depressing. Guess how many consecutive Silvershard Mines losses I've racked up trying to finish that goddamn PvP quest. I'm getting close to throwing in the towel entirely as it's basically impossible to ever win this BG...

People for whom "cover my ass" is apparently their most important job responsibility, and who fail to understand why anyone would be annoyed by this. Lady, when a doctor from the receiving hospital calls you at fucking 1:30 AM saying his test wasn't done properly, he looked at the computer...

Rated PvP was a big reason. 0-0 stalemates in the CTF BGs are depressingly common due to the fact that they mitigate damage so well it's virtually impossible to kill a tank-specced character even with a 100% damage debuff on them. They can stack resilience on top of their tanking abilities to...

Aren't there some pretty insurmountable barriers to widespread use of bitcoin? Something about having to verify the entire block chain for each transaction and that gets harder there more transactions there are.

That's not a reason to not use a credit card, that just reinforces credit card use, as now if you pay cash you just eat the whole 4% upcharge.

It's interesting to note that Elusive Brew, at least according to that, didn't get touched at all. That's been buffed to like 45 or 50% on beta and with the old Shuffle it would have been literally godmode. Quite a few people were talking about rerolling Night Elf when they saw that because it...

I got in trouble for this at work because I assumed the same. Nope. At work we can buy short term disability insurance. Our employer gives us long term for free, it kicks in one month after you become disabled. Short term, which you must pay for, kicks in after 14 days instead. All you get from...

I went back and read it again, and you got me here. For some reason I remembered the formulas as being 0.75^x, not 0.75(x).

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/11882328396 Every ability in the game that does AoE damage works this way. There is an innate chance that the hit will proc on-hit abilities, and this chance is divided by the number of targets hit. WotHF:FoF is 75% on the first attack in the combo, 18%...

Monk generators divide their coefficients by the number of targets hit. So while WoTHF:FoF is like 150% it gets reduced to two separate 75% chances if you hit two targets, and so on as you hit more. You can't get 20% life per attack hitting 10 things with the gem.

Either that or 9 months ago she finally realized she's not going to land a residency and needed to lock down that alimony and child support ASAP.

If I remember right, Yogg 0 went unkilled for like months after everything else had been beaten, and it was eventually beaten by some Chinese guild that stacked like 8 Warlocks to take advantage of Drain Soul on Yogg's low HP.

Here's another hilarious and confusing failure story from me. I'm pretty sure I just ran into and failed one of those shit tests. I was flirting with a chick from my neighborhood for awhile and she mentions she has a boyfriend. OK, fine, I still talk to her on occasion but no more flirting. Then...

Enjoy your lifetime of debt bondage. Never, ever, ever put your name on someone else's school loans for any reason. They cannot be discharged in any way and the creditors aren't obligated to split the debt burden between you and will come after whoever has the ability to pay. Once you go...

Medicare funds most residencies and due to budget cuts and general stagnation there's only enough residencies for about 60% of med school graduates. I don't know everything about her situation so I can't say for sure but I'm fairly certain at this point that she will never get a residency or...

This is because unlike Everquest, gear in WoW actually does something. In EQ, the base stats and secondary stats have been massively overcapped for like ten expansions, and the heroic stats do almost nothing. Also, since EQ mobs essentially roll a d20 for damage there's not a lot of possible...

Dealing with pug DPS is always painful. They're trying to minimize their exposure to it. I play a tank and at a mere ilvl 542 I am already beating half the pug DPS that joins these raids at dps while tanking. While still generous, the enrage timers and mechanics in flex are such that there's...

Well, you split everything. I'm sure you also get half of her pension or 401k as well.

Just recently Halle Berry had to pay her ex boyfriend over $5 million for child support alone. Family court isn't actually that unfair to men, it just rapes the person who makes more, which is usually the man.

If you're Horde you can also do PvP for gear. Conquest gear is ilvl550 and the PvP Power doesn't come out of the item budget. Just veto AV and IoC and do random BGs, you get 75 Conquest for a win and as Horde you'll win 80% of your matches. It's definitely a grind when it's 75 points for a win...

Not that I would know from experience, but AFAIK the super-hot, highly expensive hookers demand quite a few references from "entry-level" hookers before they'll see you, in order to avoid being arrested or murdered. So you have to factor that into the calculation too.

Yeah, about this. Why is it that on online dating sites, the vadt majority of male profiles where the guy is in shape have a picture of the guy shirtless and flexing, despite the fact that the majority of female profiles have a line saying that this specifically is offensive/repulsive and they...

That wedding story is very old. I remember reading it over ten years ago.

The Renaissance was a direct result of the Black Death, everyone was forced to start thinking outside the box because all the old institutions were incapable of dealing with the situation. Maybe we can hope for a super virulent flu epidemic to wipe out a third of humanity so we can have another...

The main instrument of collective punishment is the blockade. Very little is allowed through, and the blockade applies to far more things than just weapons and items that could be potentially used as weapons. Anything that could be considered a luxury item is banned, books are banned...

There's nothing wrong with overwhelming firepower. You're not supposed to play nice with your enemies. Israel's war crimes mostly involve collective punishment, the punishment of family members of criminals/terrorists, and illegal land seizure. Attacking/bombing the Gaza Strip in response to...

Considering that Hamas' main strategy with the rocket attacks is trying to overwhelm Iron Dome by launching as many rockets at once as possible, this methodology is suspect at best.
