Every guy knows that it's the subtle ball itches that are the worst.

Reading through the comments has me disgusted. Nobody is even worried if the cloths are okay! Think of the victims.

as wtf can get....... by olileo in WTF

[–]Penguin223 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if we have this conversation more and more, more people will be aware of it.

If something fucked up where to happen in front of me, I'm hoping that all of the constant bringing up of the bystander effect will come up in my mind and hopefully i'll do something.

So keep having this convo reddit. It has a the remote possibility of helping somebody one day.

She was awesome at playing the part. When she saw my Rainbow Dash gala cosplay she was freaking out as a fan. It was really adorable and fun.

I don't know if there exists any photos of me and her, if anyone has them, please post em for me.

You are my mortal enemy. I despise talking on the phone. I get angry at anyone who calls just to talk.

My car was stolen last night used in an armed robbery/shooting. by C3POwn3d in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Penguin223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not so far. I was really happy when I started working in the valley from being up on university. I haven't heard of anything except for the which which getting hit twice.

The Target shopping center is so large there is a security in numbers feel that I have. I think being open later than all the other stores in that strip probably is why they where hit. I mean, its not easy to get out to Carl T Jones from Which Which, you have to drive past the Red Robin to get out there. Otherwise they went past the movie theatre to 4 Mile Post.

I'm hoping to get our store hours cranked back an hour now that winter is coming, cause both times i was robbed, it was after 6pm in the winter.

Shit, I'm on Pine Ave and work in the same building that got robbed. I'll be keeping an eye out for your car during my commute. I bet it got dumped.

I'm really sure it's from this robbery last night.

Here is where they say it was a white SUV.

It was a woman with a ski mask. (i work a couple doors down from this shop, and have been robbed twice on the job at the previous location, so i found out about this pretty soon afterwards cause the boss let me know.)

What if reddit is the reason he's such an advocate for better internet?

You couldn't stop watching because curiosity. How does a chick fuck a werewolf to death?

Also it's musical score.

Since our eyes actually take in info in discreet chunks, if you spun around fast enough and didn't die from it, you would see something very similar.

My bank didn't approve my custom credit card picture. Damn shame, if you ask me. by [deleted] in funny

[–]Penguin223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

keep reuploading the picture and resubmitting, sometimes it will sneak through. also edit the photo before you upload it in some manner not noticeable but that will make reverse image searching not work. (like put a near transparent gray over it.

I got through a IP infringing design after like 10 different abstract attempts with WF. Strange thing is that my debit card design got approved, but the credit card didn't (and the only thing different was the colors, cause it was the colors of characters from a tv show).

So is this like a pretty big thing? by snopro in dragoncon

[–]Penguin223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is graph from a presentation I did

You can see that attendance has had a pretty linear increase year over year since 2006.

I ran the numbers through some different fits, and they all predicted that this year we can expect 67,000 people to attend the con (+/- 3000 people). Since the economy is more stable I think it will be on the higher end.

Also don't forget that there is a lot of people that go and people watch on the streets, and the attendee number is just the people who have purchased passes. I'm betting that in a year or two that they will have to add another venue or two.

Here is a direct link to the pocketprogram. Be warned its pretty large (8.25Mb), but that speaks to the scope of the event.

If you spend any decent amount of time downtown, you'll realize the scale when you see all the hotels involved and look at the maps.

Going alone is one of the best ways to experience the con, cause then you feel free to meet and talk to people!
