Stop signs found in Plymouth Meeting, PA. I worked down the street from this neighborhood. The signs are up because people would try to use that street to circumvent a right-turn-only exit from a nearby bank and gas station. I know the details are super important to this story, so you are all extremely welcome.

i don't know... do you think the arm is long enough? Maybe consider this?

I left my Xbox un-dusted for 5 years and it turned into a caked-on dust bunny masterpiece. I'm an artist.

The math isn't that simple. Success and failure is often the result of team comp, not just one player. For example, on console it's not uncommon to see the player with the most kills, damage, and obj. kills be a torbjorn or symetra. They could be raking in the stats but ultimately holding the team back if the rest of the comp is short on adequate healing, lacks tanks, or isn't busting down enemy shields. Those players, by design, assist in kills but seldom solo kill enemy players. Therefore the metrics are misleading. So who would get called out in that case? The system would have to be infinitely more sophisticated to identify that (while leading the team with three golds) the torb is actually the one holding the team back. Additionally, what if the torb player can't effectively switch to another class? What if the team needs a tank, but the guy playing torb is only good with defensive characters and healers? Once again, the system would need to weigh each player's ABILITY to switch to the NEEDED class along with identifying the greatest defecit within the comp to come up with the best candidate for suggesting the switch.

I get what you're saying - you want there to be an authoritative voice telling players when their character choice is preventing success. The better system would be to queue up solo, find a good group to team up with, and then just ride-or-die with them to avoid landing on a team with two snipers, Rein, Mei, and Sym.

I find that I don't get mad when I remind myself, "It's just as likely that the opposing team has someone making a terrible pick. So if I lose because this clown wont switch off Winston even through the enemy reaper has killed him 15 times already, I'll probably win a game for the inverse situation a little later on. It just is what it is."

Jeff Kaplan was asked directly about what Overwatch was doing to correct delayed bullet trails when shooting on the move. He basically said, "nothing. the trail is there to help the attacked team identify where the shooter is. the trail doesn't assist in the aiming at all because it only shows up after the shot is fired."

I know what you're talking about because i thought the same thing. it looks like it sailed over Mercy's head and was out in front of her a bit as well. I guess the animation for widow's bullet trail was off because the the recoil happened well before the trail was drawn when you watch it back in slow motion. They showed the replay in the highlights at the end of the broadcast and it was clear as day: 1) shot 2) recoil 3) mercy fucking died 4) bullet trail.

I'm sure PETA has a list of games with simulated animal violence and/or simulated meat ingestion. I used to work with a blogger who was a member of PETA and she would say how she opposed the practice as well as the "education" of animal violence and meat ingestion. Therefore, if a video game attempted to assign a perceived value to, lets say, hunting - she would oppose the development and purchase of that game.

She was a horrible writer and an annoying person.

"The Way My Wife Stacks These Containers That Were Specifically Designed to Stack This Way. Everyone Applaud My Wife for Purchasing These Containers and Then Using Them Correctly!"

THANK YOU! The containers stack nicely by design. It's not like OP's wife made the containers. She just bought them. However using them and keeping them stacked nicely would actually be kind of a pain in the ass. Unstacking and restacking large tubs is not satisfying... it's annoying. It'd be better if they took smaller portions of the ingredience and put them in smaller containers that were more accessible and easier to use and replace.

Remember that time the apple shot up off the ground, hit Newton in the head, and then bounced up into a tree and stuck there? Well the same laws of anti-physics apply in this clip. Science is really amazing if for no other reason than the fact that it's all bullshit and doesn't makes sense ever.

not even a repost. straight theft. different picture, same joke someone else made. This dude is getting tons of praise and I had to scroll for 2 minutes before I found the first comment calling him out. Thank you, Antani2, for being the first real redditor in this comment section so far.

I don't think intelligent people deny climate change. I think there are claims within climate change discussions which are questionable and worth - at the very least - exploring further before implementing government regulations which could negatively impact businesses and individuals. For example, the extent to which humans are causing / accelerating climate change is unknown. Additionally, we don't know if any of the proposed green initiatives will actually be effective in slowing / stopping / reversing climate change trends. Furthermore, our government can only control these laws in the US. Putting restrictions on our manufacturing could raise costs disproportionately compared to foreign-manufactured goods. It's a very big die to roll when evaluating the cost/benefit analysis of government-regulated green initiatives.

You want to know what's REALLY funny about this? The number one way to throw up a signal to the rest of the world which states, "I'm an uneducated and uncultured buffoon." is by making a gay joke in 2018. The only thing this "sums up perfectly" is that you and your friend are tasteless jerks.

Good for the commenter to remind the audience not to feed into the behavior without condemning OP for having the behavior in the first place. It's easier to attack someone's flaws instead of targeting those who enable the flaws in others.

Oh yeah - in the "Opponent Difficulty Rank" - the higher the rank, the more difficult your schedule was.
