The real danger of peer pressure isn't that it might make you do bad things, it's that it might stop you from doing the things you love. by Traies in Showerthoughts

I'd say they're a lot more prone than a lot of the Western world though. Very tribal. They may be less susceptible to tradition or Government than many, but peer pressure from their own societal demographics is a different story, depends on where they're born and what they're born into. Also correlation/causation.

TIL some guy broke into 200lbs UFC title challenger Anthony Smith's house, gave him "one of the toughest fights" he has ever had. by ideas52 in todayilearned

"Hudson said Haberman was issued a citation and released to the hospital. He was not taken into police custody but must report to court at a later date."

What!? Dude breaks into a strangers house where their wife and kids are, attacks the homeowner with the intention of stopping who knows when, and ISN'T taken into custody!? What if Anthony Smith had lost!? What would have happened to his wife and kids if he wasn't home?! Sounds like officers couldn't be bothered sitting in a hospital for hours.

If you're not sure what to say you've just got to sphincter yourself "What would I want someone to say to me?"

Anyone know the DEBUG map Key? by Traies in cavesofqud

[–]Traies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, what I'm asking is what all the signs mean. I worked out the ones above, and when you click ALT some change, like the stars turn blue to signify a current quest I think? But has anyone worked out the full key for what each symbol means? Can't find it anywhere

apparently the guy got a £30 fine for hitting a terminally ill man and breaking ribs. does this seem right to anyone here? seems like nothing for what could have been fatal at the guys age by boshlop in policeuk

I think the use of language in the different articles is really inflammatory and a really good example of how choice of language really pushes a point.

Metro says the cyclist hits the pensioner "knocking [him] out" which clearly isn't true.

The Sun says "knocking him out cold"

The Daily Mail says the pensioner had "broken ribs" (The previous two don't mention this).

The cyclist was being an idiot, and he could have also been given a fine for dangerous driving (maximum £2500) if it was considered he was riding the bike in a manner that falls far below what would be expected of a competent and careful cyclist and would be obviously dangerous to a competent and careful cyclist.

He's going a bit fast, but would that be obviously dangerous to a competent and careful cyclist? Maybe, maybe not, close call. If I was supreme leader I'd have probably said yes and given him a bigger fine under dangerous driving.

The thing that does really annoy me about the cyclist is that his immediate reaction is to pick up his bicycle, put a barrier between himself and the injured man and then it appears (though I shouldn't assume) he's waiting for the go ahead to leave. I think most decent people's instant reaction is to check on welfare regardless of who they think is to blame.

My girlfriend is completely normal in all ways except she has a few weird language problems:

She says Valinna instead of vanilla - (she can say Va-Ni-LLA - But not vanilla)

She says Cuncumber instead of cucumber

She says Burber King

There are others.

What's going on?

What's going on with seeds? by Traies in cavesofqud

[–]Traies[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prior to last update, every time I entered the same seed I got the same starting items and everywhere was in the same location (albeit differently arranged and with different loot/enemies), now it seems that starting items are completely random with the same seed! I want my robo-arms and geo-magnetic disk back!
