  1. The vast majority of people on this thread are men. We have a hard time seeing things from the female perspective so we tend to frame al these issues from the male side. I know lots of men who are happily married or in relationships, or just have satisfying dating lives and not all, but most of the really successful ones see women as people. Companions not receptacles. Having three daughters has really pushed home to me how often these men who see themselves as alphas see women as objects for them to obtain. They don't want a companion they want a trophy or a conquest. The successful ones get laid a lot but don't ever seen to find a mate. The unsuccessful ones are the passport bros. I agree it's a complex problem that doesn't lend itself to a simple answer but that's been my observation. I was raised to see women as companions and friends as well as sexual partners and it's cost me getting laid a few times, but it's also lead to a fulfilling married and social life. If your sole criteria is looks, you best look good yourself or have a lot of money/fame or you're probably going to be disappointed.
  2. $8000 is the "we don't want to do it" price. I've been going to the same guy for years and when I call him with something and I can tell he doesn't want to do it I get the $1500 quote. I then go to my back up shop and if they want to do it I get a decent price.
  3. That's for jellyfish, and I offered but she said she'd rather just deal with the pain.
  4. My wife stepped on one when and got hit on the ankle. She's got a pretty high pain tolerance and it was clear she was in agony. For future reference, the hospital filled a bucket with hot ass water, like 120 F and put her foot in it and it was instantaneous relief. The heat breaks the toxin down. If you get stung get whatever is stung in some hot water and you're good.
  5. You've clearly made up your mind on this so I'll leave you your illusions. Let's just say that the vast majority of people who study this for a living don't agree with you.
  6. Dude, no one is saying we can control the climate, only that for all of history biological organisms have changed the climate. We are doing that right now. It is actually changing right now and we are doing it. It's going to cause widespread changes to the rest of the ecosystem. It already is. Most organisms aren't as adaptable as we are so many are dying because they can't adapt fast enough. Humans are doing it, just like the algae pumped the atmosphere full of oxygen and changed it millions of years ago. No one is saying other things don't also affect the climate, they do. It's a complex system. No shit. If you don't think organic life is one of those factors I don't know what to tell you. It's not an issue of control it's an issue of damage mitigation.
  7. You do know why we have an oxygen rich atmosphere right? Because extremely successful organisms (like us) made it that way. It also resulted in large extinctions and changed life on earth. "Control" is not the issue. The issue is tipping the balance and changing the ecosystem that we all rely on to survive. It's happening even as we speak and you're lying to yourself if you don't think we are doing to ourselves.
  8. Sure. Just keep telling yourself that.
  9. And we'd do it all at night when we can see better than they can in the daytime.
  10. I'm normally pretty sanguine about regular season games, but I saw a lot of loser baseball last night. Too many lazy plays.
  11. If it were my call I would have put the runner back on 3rd and made them earn it. It was obstruction but I don't think I could say for sure she would have scored.
  12. Watched ever minute of it this year. Been a while since I did that, but needed a break from in-laws in town for graduation. It never gets old. Incredible what those men did and how Hanks and Spielberg delivered the goods. Cried like a baby at least three times and thanked God yet again that I was never called to go into combat. That shit changes you and rarely for the better.
  13. One of my favorite examples of how the US Military operates was a story about a written exam given to Lieutenants in a leadership school. The only question was something like this: You are ordered to put up a new flag pole. Resources available: 1. 40 foot flag pole. 2. pre dug 5 foot hole of appropriate diameter. 3. 2 lengths of 50 foot rope. 4. 1 Sergeant and 5 Privates. Describe your actions to raise the pole. Most would go into incredible details in how they would erect the pole. The correct answer was "Sergeant, put up that flagpole".
  14. Let's just say I'm glad Make em eat Taco Bell is not in charge.
  15. Keep your head on a swivel, kid.
  16. I didn't look it up or anything but I'll bet the East team has twice as many people as the West team.
  17. Like the Big 10 would even take them. Talk about a culture clash.
  18. those images look degraded to me. I'll bet we didn't want them to see our true capabilities. In 1992 I could pick out individual soldiers walking through a wood line at 1500 meters through a fog that limited visual sight to 100 meters. It's even better at night when the ground cools. I'll bet it's way better now. Those images look like they are probably from the early 80s.
  19. My German Sisters-in-Law say "Schwacher Penis" which, according to them means "soft penis". I've started using that in place of pussy, cunt, etc. You have to pronounce it right though. Google translate is your friend here.
  20. That dude is the epitome of a combat leader.
  21. I usually stick to birthday cakes, hearts, flowers, that sort of thing, but I know what I'm doing next Valentines Day. Sadly with my drawing skills it will probably take her a little while to figure out what it is. Maybe I'll just draw the organs as that would be easier to decipher.
  22. Nasty Girls shouldn't be trusted with anything but a mop and only under supervision.
  23. My wife sleeps late so on occasions requiring a card I get up at my usual time and, using a piece of copy paper and colored pencils, I make a card with whatever the appropriate markings for the occasion. I'm a terrible artist but a decent writer so I usually come up with something that works and amuses her with it's childlike whimsy. I'll be damned if I'm spending $8 on a damned card or going to pick one out.
  24. Dude, I like you as a poster but you're seriously bitching out in this thread. Smoke a bowl or something and relax. If it's still shitty in a month then you can lose your shit.
  25. Unless he putts better than he ever has in his life, I doubt it. It's the only thing holding him back IMO.
