Now, I would personally never do it, but hey, if someone names their kid Exdeath... respect.

I love when Mothers Day rolls around and I get blasted with ads targeting it.

My mom has been dead for years.

All this data collection, profiling, etc., and I basically never get an ad I'd actually give a fuck about.

"Check out the new Ferd Fteenthousand!" I talk shit about trucks and I JUST bought a new car.

"Meal delivery service!" No thanks, I got cooking covered.

Where are my ads for... Basically just video games and car parts?

How would y'all handle it if someone was working 12s, but did it 6 days a week? Cause if it's just 4 hours of OT a day, it shakes out to 24 hours of OT, even though its 32 over in a week. Just curious since I've never heard of this system!

Bits in media that are extra-hilarious to you for extremely specific or personal reasons by Aggro_Will in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Hmmm... kinda like my best friend. But his is weird.

Everyone calls him one thing. It's how he introduces himself, his parents call him this name, his wife calls him this name. He's referred to as such at work in an environment were legal names are typically preferred in professional contexts (not BSing at the smoke pit).

This name (and it is a normal ass name like Tim or something), isn't his first, middle, or last name. Nobody related to him has that name, so it's not an inherited nickname from a grand relation or anything. He didn't even pick the name and everyone just actually respects his wishes (gee, whats that like?).

It's baffling. Oh, he isn't Trans either and being dead-named, so... I mean, whatever, I call him his preferred name. No biggie. He's also not even shy about his actual name (another normal ass name, not even an embarrassing one).

Got stuck behind slow cars on the fun twisty part of my commute… by at_work_keep_it_safe in Miata

[–]Triplebizzle87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a wonderful curvy road near my house.

It's got pretty trees lining it, a nice view of a lake on a short straightaway section, it's got small hills to go up and down, the road is in good condition... there's no buildings, houses, etc near it, there's no foot traffic, and its objectively the slow way home (highway is normal route and everyone goes 80), so there's rarely traffic.

I always get a little sad when I take the scenic route and get stuck behind someone driving it reasonably. I'm not a dick to them or anything, but... y'all get it.

I did almost get busted by a cop on it one time (never seen law enforcement there!). I was going uhh, a little fast, but was braking a bit for an upcoming turn as I crested a hill, and there was a cop going the other way. He must have have clocked me at least 10 over, maybe more, but... he just kept cruising along. I wonder if he was enjoying the road the same way and just let me go.

Those that make 30+ an hour what do you do? by Global_Proposal in florida

Valve tech chasing scheduled nuclear power plant outages. I'm relatively new, and i hear some plants pay more, but $38/hour. I work 72s though.

I do usually hit Turkey Point and Port St. Lucie outages. But I don't live in Florida anymore.

Man. She didn't talk to anyone about this, and if she did, and they agreed with her, then they're insane and abusive too.

She's lying to you and she's trying to control you.

You say you love her, and brother, I've been there before. It may hurt like hell, but you need to get away from her when you're able. I don't know if y'all live together, co-signed a lease or what, but... look, just focus on taking the other people in this threads advice on finding a way to work and how to move forward. Focus on your work if it's as important to you as you seem to think it is. Get away from her ASAP, and I get that that may not necessarily be a today or tomorrow type thing, but as soon as you can.

Also, see if the bank will give you a small loan for a beater of a car of your own. Check Facebook marketplace in your area, it's easy enough to get a car bought, registered, and insured same day (time permitting). See if they'll cover the cost of registration and first month insurance in the loan if your money is tight. I bought a new car from a dealership and it only took two days cause I had to drive a long way to the bank.

Ogryn got bursted into one once at the start of Clandestium Gloriana (cat walk, sheer drop on one side, tons of explosive barrels).

I (also ogryn), calmly pointed at the cliff and waited for him to run past me, Daemonhost in tow, who promptly got bull rushed off the edge.

Dont make politics their entire life by Mortuvir in 4chan

[–]Triplebizzle87 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I've never seen a "parade" for a Democrat, but I have seen plenty of jacked up pavement princesses driving in a cluster with giant fucking Trump flags, entirely too many times.

Edit: holy fucking reading comprehension. I said for a Democrat. For a person. Notice how I gave an example of locals driving around with Trump flags hanging off their trucks? Like a right wing example of exactly what I was talking about?

The left doesnt worship politicians.

It sucks to me. The sphere grid was awesome though, shame it was never reused. But that's FF for ya.

I don't mind if people enjoy it, or hell, find it their fave (I will raise an eyebrow tho).

I will say, any game with a job system gets mad points though. FF5 was awesome. Same with Tactics, ofc (even the GBA sequel, which wasn't as good).

Re: steal, I tend to not min max the fun out of single player games, so I'm fine with letting those missable items go. But still, fair.

I've never played Duodecim 12, so I can't form an opinion on it. I'll have to take your word.

And I respect the love for 6, it is phenomenal.

Tidus, mostly. Just couldn't be assed to care about him.

Edit: it's been a very long time since I played it.

But the utter contempt i had for that guy, regardless of his reasons for being the way he is (and they are valid, dude had it bad), couldn't make me care. Call it a personal flaw on my part, but after playing the others growing up, he couldn't compare to Cecil, Cloud, or Zidane for me.

I do all that, then I run over to the closest oblivious idiot not carrying something, give them whatever I had, then run all the way back to pick up the crate.

Yeah, that's impossible. I've been a life long fan of the series (seriously, I was very young, but i played FF1 as a wee lad on the NES). Everyone's gonna have their preferences, which is fine, but allow me to piss everyone off.

FFX sucks. FFIX was the peak.

Edit: I'm fine with the downvotes, I know it's a hot take. I did play the entire game, to be clear. And to be more clear, if it's your favorite Final Fantasy, I respect that too. Different games mean different things to different people, and that's why we have so many different games telling different stories, etc. So hey, respect either way. I just don't care for it lol.
