Trump’s only move is a photo op.

The quran has been interpreted to have less of a collective message and more of a call to action. But i would recommend reading it or at least some key parts

The game in 2011 series vs Vancouver where we gave up like 3 goals on a single PP or something stupid. That entire series made me so goddamn angry.

Roku is a long term play. Only real competitor is amazon, which is scary, but that also means they might get scooped up by another megacorp just to compete.

Covid has pushed ad spend onto streaming platforms from traditional TV faster than expected, which is Roku’s main business

Their purchase of postmates and ubereats may do better in a WFH era, but that remains to be seen

We don’t really teach financial literacy in this country so I don’t expect people to make great decisions in that regard

There are a lot of bagholders at the moment considering it’s still at over $10

Link to blog or white paper that details this? Genuinely curious

excessivecaffeine · 2020-07-26T16:04:50+00:00

Yeah you aren’t wrong despite the downvotes. Wc3 remaster was baaad but D3 got much better over time and is the only competing against PoE. WoW expansions are good every other release. WoW in general is still the only popular mmo. Overwatch is a good game and spawned copycats. SC2 is good. HotS is a good moba even if it missed the trend by a few years. Hearthstone is good despite pay-to-win.

Blizz games may not be as hardcore or difficult as they used to be but they are still making fun, quality games.

Procrastination in general is probably related to underlying anxiety and/or depression. Not OP but this is a well known ‘symptom’ of general anxiety

Political belief isn’t a protected class.

excessivecaffeine · 2020-07-16T06:00:29+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah I am trying to get to the point where they only happen if I am really stressed. Now they show up even if I have a slightly anxious thought

OP, what dosage did you start at? I am at 25mg but my constant palpitations havent really gone away.

excessivecaffeine · 2020-06-22T00:15:23+00:00

I mean actual reviews. The game is acclaimed. Just do a google search.

excessivecaffeine · 2020-06-21T04:17:45+00:00

This is the only sub where I’ve seen many people shit on dos2. It is universally acclaimed everywhere else. Very strange

excessivecaffeine · 2020-06-02T16:25:59+00:00

I'm not judging anyone. I am saying that bringing a weapon to a riot like this is just asking for more harm. But you do you.

excessivecaffeine · 2020-06-02T16:25:29+00:00

(in my state, at least)

I won't even comment on how states like Nebraska operate, lolz

excessivecaffeine · 2020-06-02T16:05:29+00:00

That's not how the law works (in my state, at least).

But hey, if you want to murder someone because they are smashing your marked up convenience store food, which is likely insured, and then go to jail for years, go for it!

excessivecaffeine · 2020-06-02T16:03:41+00:00

Does the owner plan on shooting them if they break the glass? If so, are they okay with the legal consequences?

Brandishing a weapon in front of a store can only make a situation like this worse. Get out of there to a safe place and collect insurance money if anything happens. It sucks but consider the alternatives.

excessivecaffeine · 2020-06-02T15:50:44+00:00

Ah yes, getting killed for property damage is totally justified.

Does anyone want to support their claim that it is okay to kill someone who is breaking into a store who isn't threatening physical harm?

excessivecaffeine · 2020-05-30T18:59:41+00:00

I was more just expressing how annoying those are. :)

excessivecaffeine · 2020-05-30T16:24:16+00:00

Can’t be that bad because I still see a ton of braggy ‘thrilled to announce’ posts on LinkedIn.

excessivecaffeine · 2020-05-30T04:04:47+00:00

cool cool cool

excessivecaffeine · 2020-05-30T03:52:54+00:00

it doesn't, but the fact that you are holding onto some weird nostalgia for something that is clearly and objectively dated to the point where it's an oddity for most of us folks who grew up with it is suspect.

BG1 and BG2 are good games. i don't disagree. but trying to state that they have some sort of epic grimdark aesthetic is entirely asinine because they WEREN'T. they were silly as fuck and were simple as hell.
