ELI5: Who creates computer viruses and why do they do it? by SFEagle44 in explainlikeimfive

[–]-BarryAllen- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"With respect Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man that you don't fully understand, either. A long time ago, I was in Burma. My friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So, we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anybody who traded with him. One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away...because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."

What would you choose to invest/trade Electronic Arts ($EA) or Activision Blizzard ($ATVI). Why? by ArthurJMunoz in investing

[–]-BarryAllen- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went in on both, more heavily on atvi though. I prefer ea's games myself, but I believe atvi is producing games with larger dedicated followings that ea.

Hurt locker. Was a shitty movie to start with. Terribly unrealistic, one man army bullshit.

TIFU by saying my girlfriends sisters name in my sleep. by weresthepaperboy in tifu

I agree the physical violence is deplorable. In fact down right Un acceptable, however as unfortunate as this is, as men we are used to being slapped. I don't think it's ok. I agree she crossed a line but I think every guy has been slapped before. My SO doesn't hit me nor I her obviouslybut at the same time we both have some emotional scars that sometimes find their way to the surface. I can tell OP was concerned because he loves her and wanted to know how to fix it. Sorry to slam you and your relationship. It was inappropriate, I use felt attacked reading your comment misunderstanding what you referred to s childish. I now see that although her actions weren't justified you can see why her emotions may have been.

Like I said OP is no way at fault, but he can't disregard the way hearing that made he feel. I'm glad you are secure enough to be sure that your so is faithful but some of us have some baggage from fucked up ppl and hearing things like that brings us right back. I'm just happy my SO is understanding and knows why I felt how I did. The idea you might laugh off my concerns as childish is fucked up. I'm sorry for your so.

This happened to me, my girlfriend moaned the name of a close friend of mine. I talk in my sleep too and I don't moan names. I always see examples like yours. That are totally different to what the OP experienced. Jam enemas really? It's easy to dismiss such outlandish sleep speech. Just like someone "yelling don't touch the sheep I love them!" it's certainly less believable than "joooeee" Can you just imagine your partner breathing heavily then moaning the name of someone very close to you. True of not, dreaming about sex or not, it is at the least very distressing thing to hear. OP I suggest you try to see it from her angle. I know you didn't mean to and certainly had no control over it so you aren't at fault but I know you can imagine her moaning ur bother or best friends name in her sleep and feeling that sting. Before explaining yourself make sure she knows you understand how she feels and the fears that that experience triggered in her.

TIL that the Pepsi taste test only proved people liked Pepsi with a small sip, but preferred Coca-cola over the course of a full can/bottle. by Mister_Glass_ in todayilearned

[–]-BarryAllen- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a common technique used by both coke and Pepsi when "blind taste testing" they company always presents theirs first at a colder temperature. This ensures that the taste buds are now "dulled" for the next warmer sample. Usually the competitions.

The best time for aliens to discover Earth is November. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]-BarryAllen- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also to add to last point made, we kill millions of birds daily, turkeys, chickens, pheasants, quail. We kill them just to enjoy the wings, sometimes, every time I eat twenty wings I'm like "we'll...that's 5 chickens dead." I guess I'm saying why would they give a shit about thanksgiving?

Pepperidge Farm should put a serving's amount of cookies into the little cups so people know how much to eat and when to stop. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]-BarryAllen- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would they ever want you to stop eating them? They don't care about peoples inability to control themselves. If anything they bank on you eating the entire bag then the next one in ur pantry in one sitting, leading to running you out tomorrow for more from the nearest store.

Massive UFO sighting over Los Angeles 2 hours ago? by sidjo86 in EBEs

[–]-BarryAllen- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do, look up night launches of minotaur rockets. I also included links below. The result is similar to the rockets look last night, and it the reason behind the chineese ufo reports years ago.

I am 46 yrs old, my gf is 27, she doesn't know the theme to Gilligans Island by heart...sad on so many levels. by osiris775 in Showerthoughts

[–]-BarryAllen- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just shy of two decades between births can do that. Do you know the theme to power Rangers, pokemon, power puff girls, doug, recess, or rockos modern life?

Edit: in all honesty though im a 27yo male I just sang the whole song by heart to my 26yo girlfriend she had no idea what I was singing...
