The place I bought was a foreclosure. I get tons of threatening letters addressed to the previous occupants. Also, twice now I have had two very large, in-shape men show up at my front door asking if I am the previous owner. Both times they wanted to see ID when I told them he hasn't lived here...

Plasma isn't anywhere near the risk of blood as there's no cells in it for viruses to infect. In most states I don't think they let people with tattoos donate blood at all, but plasma is just fine.

That's because the racism isn't actually about their skin color, their skin color just serves as a convenient indicator that this person is part of a higher risk group. Black people are more likely to have shitty finances which makes them higher risk for mortgages. Complaining about this is...

Heh, I got you beat on this one, I once had a company make me pay to ship my own stuff back to me. It was a 1-year temp job and a week before the contract was over they just deactivated my keycard over the weekend and on Monday I couldn't get into the building. Security just told me I wasn't...

They did Days of Future Past in the animated series and the future sentinels kicked the crap out of mutants in that series too.

"Original" sci-fi movies, namely ones that aren't based on avery well knownpre-existing franchise, have almost a 100% failure rate unless they're directed by James Cameron. Yeah, this movie was based on a manga, but nobody outside of Japan knew it existed before the movie. Seriously, in the near...

Or, for a less misogynistic answer, it's because women are pretty much completely unable to compete with men for these jobs in the private sector. You know, because of basic biology. Government blue collar jobs, where "equality" can be mandated similarly to how affirmative action works, are the...

I work the night shift so when I'm leaving I have a spot on the ground floor when everyone else is arriving, sometimes people that have already passed my spot will shift into reverse and speed backwards to try and get behind me and block all the incoming traffic from getting my spot. Or they'll...

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but Burger King has boneless buffalo wings now. They're much better than I expected anything at Burger King to be.

It's honestly not just female hangups. Most "hobbies" have some kind of competitive element and the only thing worse than doing something competitive with a woman that's worse than you at it is doing that same thing with a woman that's better than you.

In my opinion, the pro-nuclear advocates are the biggest problem with nuclear power. When virtually all of them are basically chanting, "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING CAN GO WRONG IT'S PERFECTLY SAFE NOTHING BAD WILL EVER HAPPEN LALALALALALA I AM NOT LISTENING EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES IS AN IDIOT" it makes...

When people use "survived" or "survivor" to describe a situation which has zero chance of actually killing you.

Yeah, I'm hoping the next date (with someone else, obviously) ends without the crying and the whole restaurant staring at me like I'm some kind of wife beater. But still, who the hell shit-talks an ex on a first date? I don't care about your relationship with your ex other than the fact that...

So, my turn to post a female related train wreck. I went on a date (TGI Fridays, if that's stupid, please tell me, first dating foray in 3 years) with a chick I met online. The entire time, all she did was shit talk her ex-boyfriend. I was super annoyed by this and tried to redirect the...

Old EQ mechanics were that some classes could solo multiple red cons while others died to greens. If I remember right there were a few necromancers that soloed the ghoul lord even at level 50.

I've run the numbers before and the odds of getting an HIV-infected partner as a heterosexual from fucking someone at random is like 0.01%. Then there's a 0.5% chance of actually catching it.

I also don't get why this is so shocking. Pretty much every rich white guy over 70 is going to be horribly racist. Their entire upbringing occurred before the civil rights movement even happened, when pretty much everyone was racist. On top of that, the fact that they became rich simply...

The thing with old-school EMU servers is that the level cap is 50, or 60, or whatever expansion they're up to. You can't level past that, even if you wanted to. You can get the best gear on that server while enjoying your EQ nostalgia. On live, well, you can't do that. You have to suicide...

The main problem with grouping in EQ is most of the players have formed impenetrable cliques, and this just gets worse and worse with time. The way I used to find groups, when RoF came out, was to roam the zone until I found a group using mercs as filler and asked them to join. It usually...

Having the best legal system anywhere (again, pre-conviction) pretty much means it can't be "ass-backwards."

You see, this is an opinion I find hilarious. Have you ever been to Europe? Or, say, any other country on the planet? The US might have ridiculous sentences and hellish prisons, but nobody in the world gets more rights and has more limited police/government powers pre-conviction. Just a few...

Qualified immunity exists because police don't have an expectation of privacy while working and therefore don't have fourth amendment protections. You might break a half dozen laws an hour, but the government can't do shit without probable cause, a warrant, and actual evidence. Without qualified...

"Dear Xequecal: Please refrain from using obscure acronyms like "Fe3+ test" to label your iron slides. This is causing a lot of confusion. Regards, Specialties"

How it's apparently OK for people who have children to treat people who don't like they're children themselves. That, and the implication that the people without kids should always be willing to jump to help out the people who do. I had this basic conversation with three different co-workers...

Yes, she was. Probably at least 300 lbs too.

I met a real life thin privilege person today. The shuttle to another building at work was full and some of the crowd got left. I suggested we could just walk over because it was only like a mile and would probably be faster than waiting. "OK, that's really insulting. You need to check your...

Incredible item-farming run that was just pointed out to me. Take the Kill Malathel quest in A5. Go all the way to the last checkpoint that you get right in front of the portal to the Malathel boss fight on fortress level 3. Leave the game, re-enter, and take the town portal to that checkpoint...

I'm sure it's been posted before, but they pretty much have to do the BoA thing. Third party trading sites steal accounts. Blizzard is not keen on having to hire hundreds of customer support people to restore hacked accounts for a game with no monthly fee.

Also found another annoying bug, the "follower gains every skill" follower legendaries are bugged and don't work properly. At some random point (I have no idea what causes it, but if you play for an hour or two it'll definitely happen) after you equip it, it simply stops working and the follower...

Rings and amulets are a flat rate. It's one flawless imperial topaz per reroll, no increasing gold cost. Of course, that topaz costs 900,000 gold, but at least the price doesn't increase each click!

There's other legendaries where you can get put in that position. If you get a SoJ with the wrong +elemental% damage type you have to decide between rerolling the elemental damage to the one you want or rerolling one of the random primaries to crit chance. The same goes for the glove slot...

I'm assuming date of birth includes the month and day as well. Still, they're talking about the general election. 130 million people voted in that election. Assuming all dates of birth are equally likely, (they're not) that means that for every one of the 7.1 million people who voted in NC...

I don't understand at all how the following is possible: How did 35k match first name, last name, DOB but not the last four digits of their socials, while only 765 matched all four? Organized voter fraud would certainly match all four, unless the polling place doesn't verify the given...

Actually, my build is mostly Holy other than Sweeping Wind, but it's hardcore mode so survivability is important and I didn't want to roll away from LoH. I'm currently using this with strongarm bracers for the damage increase alongside cyclone strike. CS also makes all the chest events you get...

It's an Ouroboros with 693 DEX, 2872 LoH, 10% crit chance, 86% crit damage, lightning resist, and gold find. I guess the gold find isn't perfect but the rest of the amulet is.

Ugh, talk about burnout. Trying to reroll poison resist on an epic amulet I got. After 17 rerolls, 17 forgotten souls, 15 million gold, and spending every topaz I've looted since RoS release, poison resist has not shown up.

I read the wiki page, it's four years out of date. They've had to rapidly increase taxes to meet the demands of the balanced budget amendment, even the capital gains tax was only implemented in 2009. They had no capital gains tax before that...

I think you're grossly underestimating how much it would cost. We're only able to sustain ourcurrentform of "public" healthcare via massive borrowing. Expanding it to everyone and actually paying for it rather than borrowing money would be far, far more than 10%. I invite you to look at...

That one is a known bug by the way. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/11883998315

The rift guardians in nephalem rifts drop forgotten souls very commonly, they're not that hard to get.
