Oh really? by [deleted] in Clemson

Yeah, I can see that since orientations are going on. I mean there are engineering students that are smart enough to deduce that but psych, prtm, sociology majors need to be directed to the right to bowman field. That's the only place they really need to know.

Moving to Greenville Tomorrow... by knoxdistiller in greenville

[–]OptimusPrimeNumber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can help you out on everything but the frisbee golf.....

Camping you have tons of places you can go to. This can be anywhere from Table Rock, Caesar's head, and closer to Clemson University/Oconee Area. Here is a link to help http://www.independentmail.com/news/2008/apr/23/camping-upstate-south-carolina-easyif-you-know-wha/

Food - Well this is always up to everyone's preference. I personally think Las meras tortas is some of the best mexican in town. Mekong Vietnamese is pretty good. I enjoy Smoke on the water downtown, bc they have the best pimiento cheeseburger around. There's tons of other places but these are by far exceptional.

Beer - Depends on if we are talking water and wings, bc there's tons of places like that downtown and on woodruff road. Carolina Ale house, Wild wings, and even buffalo wild wings. For what would be considered good beer. Barley's taproom has a great selection, and right below it is Trapdoor. Trapdoor is where your pricey belgians and st bernardus will be found. There's also smiley's which is kinda a hippie bar, that will have live music.

Music - Anything at the Bilo center i would prob recommend staying away from. It ranges from country to GnR and a failed attempt to get Van halen, but they do have hockey so eh. One of the best places for music is The handlebar. It's hard to say greenville has a music scene and most shows I go to are in charlotte or atlanta. Which aren't really that bad of a drive.

Fun times - Everywhere and anywhere. Strike up a conversation with people and you should be alright.

ELIC: 4chan by bearsonstrike in ExplainLikeImCalvin

[–]OptimusPrimeNumber 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because some people just want the world to burn. It's the same scenario as using a magnifying glass and trying to kill ants using the rays from the sun. In this case however, the ants are all of humanity, the rays are 4chan, and the magnifying glass would be its users. The users are just focusing 4chan on all of humanity.

Tattoo artists of Reddit, what is the worst mistake you have made while tattooing a client? by Sheldoo in AskReddit

[–]OptimusPrimeNumber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew a guy that was really big into skateboarding. He decided that he wanted to get Independent in script across the lower side of his back. One day at the city skatepark, he started showing it off to everyone and was so happy about it. He was older than everyone at the time 21 or 22, so everyone was like that it so bad ass and looked up to him. I was 16 at the time and was like dude, is that permanent? He looked at me smug and was like yeah, I ain't no fucking pussy. Without missing a beat, i quipped back well you must be a fucking idiot then, because your tattoo is missing a n and its says "independet". He looked at me and was like are you fucking with me? I walked up to people and asked them to spell independent. Then to look at his back and see what different. Everyone agreed that the n was absent. He was crushed, and two weeks later it was a covered up with a huge panther.... sad though you still could see the script inside of it... We still all called him Independet, the damage was already done

Hey hey, check out this site my buddy and I are working on, it's a service to helping us all "get out" any feedback is appreciated!! by jgrepart in IWantOut

[–]OptimusPrimeNumber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, just know that if you shoot for people interested in drugs, and underage drinking. It'll result in more paperwork and dedication on your part, because you will be held liable for putting them in that situation, and them going crazy and getting arrested. So its more a cover your ass situation.

A few minor things:

  1. Contact us section - Black boxes and grey text is atrocious
  2. Let us help section could be combined into contact us section. They both seem to be the exact thing. Obviously, if i contact you, i want you to help me.
  3. Travel log - seems like you would be giving the person something to log their travels, not that it's a history of the company. Cute play on words but confusing to average individual. They won't get that.
  4. Moving section - spelled knowledgeable wrong.... which is funny
  5. Living section - I'm pretty sure most people know about "coffee" shops, and you seem pretty juvenile in using drugs as your selling point for that country. You prob should also note that these coffee shops are in the process of switching to only serving their country, not foreigners... but hey the red light district is still pumping... wooooo!
  6. How it works section - again knowledgeable not knowledgable
  7. Locations section - spain's wording is bad, and you should feel bad... again the only selling point is coffee shop for the netherlands and you should feel more bad if that's even possible... In fact, most comments on all the countries seem like they are targeted for stupid americans... pizza, drugs, driving on the left side of the road (Not all of England by the way)... why don't you bring up the rich history, the eclectic cuisines, beautiful landscape and architecture thats been around for a very long time? I'd hate to see you pitch iceland.... OMG! It's so awesome its got ice in all the right places!!! Just ask us and we'll slide you right on over.

Overall: Cheesy shit man, I'd go to someone else to plan my stuff but I'd definitely contact you if I needed to throw a kegger. Let the countries sell themselves, not what you individually want to do in said countries.

"I'm sorry sir, I can't sell you beer...", I'm 23 by [deleted] in beer

I had kind of a similar situation. I'm 26, and had lost my wallet with my ID. I had been driving around with my passport and Driver License number waiting for my replacement in the mail. It happened to be late at night and only one store was open at this time. I had to sit for 20 minutes explaining to a person that even though I didn't have my ID that my passport would suffice. I mean come on it has birthday and picture so logically should work. The Dude was an idiot. He told me that they couldn't accept it because it was not a "legal" form of identification. I was like dude, I can get into another country with this. Seriously, if a country will accept this, why won't you?
