I have a question. Why is it socially acceptable for women to be afraid ofeverything?Ooh, there's a spider/cockroach, you have to kill it for me. No, you have to get it out of the basement, I can't go down there by myself its dark and scary. I can't walk to my car by myself even in broad...

I'm still maintaining that "my hands are dirty too" is just as retarded and cringe-worthy as "sand is smooth."

I can tell you exactly what the problem is, MTGO is a legacy product. You see, to corporate executives, any video game older than 18-24 months is a "legacy product" and is not worth spending more than a pittance on, period. This is why MTGO was still using the 1998 interface and had all the...

The dialogue in the original trilogy is just as bad as in the prequels.

MTGO card prices (well, Standard-legal cards) have dropped 25% in the last week, before you'd just barely break even doing redemptions and selling the physical cards, now you can make a lot of money. Of course it's not easy to find a ton of buyers quickly, you have to actually be really good and...

It's much worse than that, the fact that they were willing to do this means it's probably a deep-seated bug in the code that requires re-writing the whole software. MTGO allows you to redeem virtual card sets for physical card sets, so they can't let it fail. If MTGO cards become worthless, then...

About 5 years ago I took Celexa for like 6 months for anxiety, it was pretty much a miracle cure..... For the anxiety. It also gave me total ED, I could not get it up if my life depended on it.

They're generally harmless to people, but can be harmful to the environment. I have a Biology degree, and I used to work for Monsanto.

Note to the data entry people: "Ferrous" and "ferric" are not the same thing, please stop using them interchangeably.

Ugh, I just was in another dealership where they said a $289/month lease was the best they could do. I produced an ad offering the same car for $269/month, and he actually asked me, "Well, why do you think you should only have to pay $269/month?" PLEASE KILL YOURSELF.

Double post

Of course it does. He could simply only ever reveal a crap door and give the switch option to the people that picked the car, causing switching to lose every time. In the OP, its only stated that the host revealed a shit prize in that one instance. It does not say he gave that option to...

What bothers me is when they start using the challenge questions for things other than recovering the password.

These people:

No, the host could just not offer you the option to switch at all. This happened on the actual show, and the OP does not say anything about how the host always opens a door, just that he did in this instance. Switching only benefits you if the host is forced to always reveal an unchosen booby...

The real stumbling block on the Monty hall problem is the fact that it's never made clear that Monty is predestined to reveal one of the booby prizes. The OP did not say this. That leaves open the possibility that Monty could sometimes not reveal a booby prize, and since you don't know whether...

You can solo Lich King? How do you avoid just being picked up and thrown off?

I just went car shopping today and it's just as much of a scummy and unpleasant experience as I remember. I really need to figure out what signals I'm sending that makes salespeople assume I'm a clueless retard. I was wanting to grind my face into my palm for pretty much that entire experience...

I have no way to verify any of this, as I obviously wasn't alive, but to hear her tell it, my great aunt (we're from Germany, she's still alive) had her whole family slaughtered in front of her by Allied troops in 1945. She had a younger brother who was 13 at the time, who was outside doing farm...

Is it possible to lease a hybrid car? I've been thinking about that, if you have a short commute to work you don't have to buy gas and the lease ensures you don't have to deal with long term reliability problems with the batteries.

You're missing the point. The test isn't there to prove you learned the material. That's secondary. With the amount of studying they do in SK, learning the material well is a given. They'd have learned it with a fifth of that effort. The purpose of the test is to determine which students are...

Like I said before, if the parents don't give a shit there's really nothing the education system can do in any event. If the kids don't care, it's their parents' job to make them care. If the parents can't do it, who can? If "you" don't want to work harder, then why should we give a shit about...

The actual content of the test is basically irrelevant. It's a lot of rote memorization anyway, which is not really learning. The test exists to prove that you have a work ethic, that you can learn material that's presented to you, and that you're not a fuckup. It's the same reason everyone...

Like I said before, South Korea uses it, and they have the best educated kids in the world by miles.

The education system can't do anything to help the completely apathetic and shit inner city druggie parents. It doesn't matter what you change. What such a test/barrier can fix is the "my child is a special special snowflake" parents that expect the school to somehow magically infuse education...

Improving primary education is a thorny problem. The methods that have been proven to work best are extremely harsh and unpalatable. The #1 proven best way to improve education performance is to institute a mandatory test at a certain point and then implement massive consequences for failing at...

There's also the fact that the US isn't as culturally homogenous as most other countries, and the problems associated with that spill over into everything. For example, the female favored family court system sure looks unfair from our perspective, but that's looking at it from a culture where...

Honestly, not really. I'm not morbidly obese or anything, in fact I'm pretty much the opposite of that at 6'1" and 165lbs, but that's mostly due to not eating much rather than exercising, I'm not in very good shape. I've never been on meetup.com though, I might give that a shot.

I got hit hard by depression this weekend and it's the first time that I've started wondering if it's the actual medical type of depression. Some backstory: Like 2-3 years ago I had a decent social life, a circle of friends and a girlfriend, everything was OK in that respect. What I didn't...

Uhm, correct me if I'm wrong, but the wedding ceremony has no legal status whatsoever. You're legally married when you go down to the courthouse and sign the papers, whatever kind of ceremony you have is irrelevant. You can still have the ceremony and not need an annulment or a divorce.

Since quantitative easing involves the Fed essentially printing money to buy financial assets, why can't the Fed just sell those assets back to the market in the event inflation were to spiral out of control, and remove all the printed money from circulation? Did they overpay for them? Have they...

My boss' insistence on finding even more clients even though everyone is already on 10+ hours of overtime a week. Daily workload is up 60% from three months ago.

Deniability. Her parents don't want to disown her, she's their daughter. If she's just dating, they can pretend no sex is occurring since there's no proof. If she moves in with a guy, that changes. No more deniability. The family will be forced to disown her or the church elders will come down...

You guys are providing totally irrelevant advice. This is not the typical marriage situation where the man risks a lot and the woman risks little. There's much more at stake for her. JWs do not recognize divorce, once she's married, she can't get out without his cooperation as her filing for...

It's got nothing to do with alienating them. Cohabitation is a sin , eloping is not. The latter will just annoy them, the formerrequiresboth her parents, and his parents, and probably all their friends and whole community to shun them permanently. They may not want to, but it's irrelevant, it...

Andrew Wakefield. A quick rundown: 1. Made millions of dollars on a scheme that essentially involved torturing small children for money. He invested heavily in a company producing MMR vaccine alternatives, then falsified research to claim the current MMR vaccine causes autism in order to...

That chart is incredibly misleading, they are including the per-capita cost of Medicaid (which you lose if you get a job) in those numbers for each state. Health care has become so expensive that in some states it now costs Medicaid over $20,000 a year to provide care for a family of four. So...

I don't even get why any kind of complex password is needed, even theoretically. Granted I'm not that computer savvy, but it locks you out after X attempts, right? How could you possibly brute force it? If you have access to the server that actually checks the password, I don't think you really...

People who appear to function on some kind of script and are determined to deliver that script regardless of any input. This is hard to explain, so I'll just give an example from work: Manager: "I just came by to let you know that we got an email from Dr.-" Me: "If you're talking about the...

In my opinion, the atmosphere and "universe feel" were the worst parts of this movie. Peachtree is supposed to be a horrific slum. And not just a regular horrific slum, but a dystopian sci-fi horrific slum. Yet in the movie, the only horrible part about it is the drug lord. If it wasn't for her...
