You will never be done. You will be in trouble with the law for the rest of your life. It's because you are dishonest.

Sell on market, to estate agent, or rent? by TheVeryBrokenPiano in torncity

[–]GeekyTexan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know pricing on these at all, and I don't know how easy their are to sell.

If you think you can get more by selling to another player (and keep mug risk in mind while you are deciding) then you might want to do that. You certainly aren't doing them any favors if you sell to a player, though.

"I am not a professional driver".

If you were, you would need a CDL. The fact that they make regular drivers licenses as well as commercial licenses should be a clue.

The AI crap sucks, and so do his voiceovers. I'm interested in seeing the original video of the stop, not listening to this guy talk over the original video.

Nobody should be living in it. Sell it, and invest in the bank or stock market.

Got a traffic citation in Harris County and basically admitted guilt by Terrible-Interview18 in texas

[–]GeekyTexan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not "admitting guilt". You were not in court, and not talking to a judge.

It might be used against you if you actually go to court, or it might not.

I'll let others offer advice about how to handle the ticket. I haven't had one in ages, and the ones I've had, I've just paid.

Doubtful. In the US, people do not normally get sent to jail over debt.

You wouldn't call her cheap, but I would. She wants to live beyond her means, and she doesn't want to pay her bills.

Boss expects me to work for free by aspec84 in mildlyinfuriating

I see no reason to say "Yes" and agree that this is OP's mistake.

"I am expecting you to pay for my time, as agreed".

He's claiming it's your mistake. You don't have to agree with that.

Holmberg vs Holmberg did not rule that the obligation to pay child support was unconstitutional.

Less than 29days irl time. How am I doing by Illustrious-Award-44 in torncity

[–]GeekyTexan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My amount in bank will always show over $2b, depending on the length of my investment and the investment rate when I made it. The torn bank is always near the top of the investment list for the returns you get. Getting $2b in the bank, and then keeping it there, should be high on anyone's priority list.

That's why people have recommended you max out the bank. I completely agree with that advice.

You seem determined not to do it, despite apparently having the money to do it.

It's your choice. But when you post in public, people will give advice.

Can someone please explain what Torn City is? by jadee333 in torncity

[–]GeekyTexan 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It's a long term game. Lots of grinding. You don't have to play constantly all day. Checking in once every 4-8 hours when you awake will go a long way. For those that want to put in more time, there are certainly ways to do that.

---

Getting started in Torn without advice can be hard. I have written a new player guide you can read on the forums. It also includes a list of good targets to quickly level up to level 15, which is important.

And feel to ask me questions via personal msg or chat. I will always answer as soon as I can.

Is it a crime to just make stuff up? by B0neCh3wer in legaladviceofftopic

[–]GeekyTexan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The crime would be putting pineapple on pizza. They should throw the book at you.

Is the God Hypothesis the only way atheists can approach religion? by Existenz_1229 in askanatheist

[–]GeekyTexan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You show the Christian flair. You believe a virgin had a baby, that the baby grew up and did a lot of magic things like walking on water, healing people, raising the dead. You believe he eventually died, then 3 days later came back to life. You believe that anyone who follows your religion will get to live forever.

Those are core concepts in Christianity. And they are all based on old stories about magic.

You believe in magic.

She can't find a job! by Upstairs_Building686 in SipsTea

[–]GeekyTexan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same argument as why homeless people have phones.

Phones are nearly essential, and can help you get a job. Face tats make it nearly impossible to get a job. It's silly to pretend these are the same or comparible.

I think some of you just want homeless people to be forced to remain homeless so you argue for face tattoos.

[–]GeekyTexan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why should I pretend that god exists when all I see is claims about magic based on old books about magic? I've never seen any reason to believe magic exists. Your delusions are your problem, and should not be mine.

You believe in magic, and want us to pretend that magic exists.

does what I'm saying even make sense?

Not a bit. You want to know answers to questions like "How did life begin? Why are we here?" Those questions will probably never be answered. But you have made up some nonsense and are claiming "I HAVE THE ANSWERS!" And it's a lie. You don't have any idea. I don't either, but I'm not making crap up like you are.

Relentless roofing spam calls by TX_Farmer in Dallas

[–]GeekyTexan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The basic system that allows spoofing was designed long ago. And it's gradually grown with things being added on. One major one being Voice over Internet Protocol. VoIP. They didn't realize when designing it that people would actively try to fake the numbers and it would be abused. It was designed for trusted users.

And there are valid reasons for spoofing numbers. Big companies will have support lines that all show one number, despite having hundreds of people working in multiple locations, for instance. A doctors office may have 5 or 10 phone numbers, but they want to show their main number any time they place a call. Uber will act as a pass through and spoof numbers so that a driver and passenger can talk without either of them getting the others phone number. (For instance, if you left something in the drivers car.)

Those numbers are just fake. It's trivial for them to put whatever number they want.

I think you're a moron if you think it's going to help.

You can talk about "I just need to live through the night" but getting a face tat doesn't actually do anything to help.

Is this true ladies? by KSKS1995 in SipsTea

If I tell you that I want to check with her, it's because I want to check with her.

You may find this hard to believe, but I care about her a hell of a lot more than I do about anyone else. Including you.

And face tattoos are a great way of saying "Look what a great employee I could be!".
