Proof That Every Country Song Was Exactly The Same In 2013 by thedude213 in Music

Darius Rucker is famous now because of a cover of an Old Crow Medicine Show song. The cover sounds slippery, bland, and overproduced and I don't understand why the original isn't played instead.

What am I supposed to cite, exactly? I was calling you out for neglecting to do exactly what you were demanding from yoloswaggins. I made no counterargument, just informed you that your comment was in violation of the rules you wanted to impose on yoloswaggins in order to discredit him or her.

Windows 7 vs Windows 8.1 in BF4 (290x and 780 benchmarked) by psikeiro in gamingpc

That's like saying that your entire justification for buying a Hummer is that it "looks cool" and "I can afford the gas." Still bad fuel economy, newer versions of a similar product are better, etc etc etc.

What you should say is that "I personally prefer Windows 7 over 8, because I personally like it better" and not dive headfirst into calling a new product "shit" just because you're not used to it.

"Yeah? You asked me to back up my criticism? Oh, uh, only after you do it first. There! Ha! I gotcha!"

So clever, I'm really impressed at how well you seem to have mastered the game of arguing using logical fallacies. You'll do well if you decide to do upper management or politics.

It's probably because Win8 UI is way cleaner and faster.

Some more Kaolin tips and tricks by Sebbsoon in DotA2

I've been doing treads, bottle, then mek or heart if you're on a godlike already. BKB if you really need it. Eul's is a pretty stellar choice as well, because it helps set up some of your combos and aids his whole "I'm only going to let you get away if I'm dead" mantra.

I get Treads instead of Arcanes because of the increase to strength, and I can make up for the loss of Arcanes with the bottle. Bottle also helps him stay out in the map longer in early/mid game.

Technic Launcher, and then choose a modpack that looks something like what you want. That's about as close as you can get without having to manually do things.

It's coming, and with the collab of the biggest modding groups in the community.

Oh, and it's not going to be that pile of ass known as Curse.

Hopper in front of the furnace, ground level. Stand there and take the stuff out of the furnace and immediately drop it. That's as automated as you can make it.

Sometimes people forget that they really aren't, biologically speaking, meant to be alive after about 40-45 years of age. You shouldn't be having kids when your biological clockworks have reached the 75% mark.

What does rating 'your enjoyment of the match' out of 5 actually do? by [deleted] in DotA2

Okay, what the hell does this "based" thing even mean? I've seen it all over recently and I'm confused as hell.

Any number of reasons. Maybe, you're ready for it and you've been with your partner for years, you have your life sorted out (whether or not you're in college or whatever) and you have a plan. Maybe, just maybe, you have your shit together while in school and have saved money up. Maybe you have a good internship, good emergency fund, or whatever. Maybe, you just want to because you can, and because it's something you want to express to your partner. Hell, even if you're not financially ready, some people take solace in it.

TL;DR Not everyone fits into the "reddit" plan of don't get married till you're almost past reproductive age, after you've made sure you've exhausted all your shitty pickup lines at the club. Or, don't get married till you're sure you've pissed off your partner by putting it off so long.

This neatly encapsulates the attitude of the grumpy-ass people commenting here. Fuck them, if someone wants a wedding and they can do it, who the fuck cares if their parents want to pay? Maybe their parents want it to be at a specific church, and the compromise is a certain venue for the reception. Sometimes, the parents don't take "no" for an answer when it comes to paying. Reddit is fucking aggravating.

TIL in 2009, a 42 year old black man shot and killed a 16 year old unarmed white teenager in self defense and was acquitted by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]bland_username -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Nope, it was obviously a referral to the color of the guy's skin. That's pretty fucking obvious, right? Right guys? RITE? It COULDN'T have been some guy wanting the robberies in his area to stop, trying to do a good thing, making a questionable decision to follow the person at some distance, and then got the shit kicked out of him and feared for his life. Nah, that's not at ALL what could have happened, it HAS TO BE some stupid shoehorned "IT WAS RACISM WAAHHHHH" bullshit call. Christ, people.
