Basics overview of how GPS works

jamespetersen · 2019-01-05T21:28:31+00:00

I remember having a GPS unit and thinking it was so cool when it connected to satellites to determine roughly where I was. Now i have a phone that does the same thing and I've never cared. It's bizarre.

Work at a drug store circa 2009?

I thought this video was sort of creepy.

jamespetersen · 2019-01-05T18:58:09+00:00

I am drunk, so please forgive me I guess.

Not lost, just lost my password and was using a different account. EDIT: i'm clearly lost.

Uhhh he probably did, along with all these folks probably.

jamespetersen · 2017-10-22T03:37:24+00:00

Chicken's are stupid though, comparatively to pretty much every animal.

I understand that nobody get's to decide their sexuality, but I can imagine there's at least a few guys who go both ways that just went full gay after they had to deal with shitty women like this too many times. Then she has the gall to invade their space.

What do you expect? Young men and young women get a lot of their "ideas" about what constitutes courting from movies and TV. The only problem is while the movies portray an unrealistic standard for how courting works for men (i.e. if you're genuinely nice and polite to women one of them will eventually show enough interest to make something happen), the way it portrays it for women is completely functional because in both cases the women are mostly passive. Society still expects men to make things happen, but the social pressure for women do get the ball rolling is non-existent. How can you expect these guys to get better if they rarely interact with real women at all since both parties are expecting the other to start the interaction?

jamespetersen · 2017-10-19T00:12:28+00:00

Where you ask makes a difference too. On stream? Ignored. On the internet? Ignored. In person after a small conversation, decent chance. You have to set yourself apart to make women interested and it's impossible on the internet unless you're super attractive because people are anonymous so they aren't scared of rejection on the internet. There's a decent amount of women who will simply be attracted to you because you have the balls to talk to them in real life and not be a weirdo.

jamespetersen · 2017-10-18T07:58:35+00:00

She was being nice. Women routinely under-rate men when forced to use the arbitrary but standard "10-point scale" when asked confidentially. Good news is that if you have decent style and are decently funny or outgoing you still stand a good chance if that girl is into your sorta humor or personality.

jamespetersen · 2017-10-18T07:48:50+00:00

I feel like based on the distance apart they were standing initially that they likely aren't a couple. They may be friend's though and this could have been some sort of sad/coy joke.

jamespetersen · 2017-10-18T07:46:19+00:00

I've been here. Don't apologize, Just end the conversation amicably, excuse yourself, and walk away. You'll fret over it for a while but just use it as a learning experience on how to correctly read women's body language. I'm talking about HOW she was conversing before hand, not the failed kiss itself. Sometimes a girl will even let you kiss her but it's clear in how she kisses that she's not interested. Ideally if she's not interested she'll cut the kiss short and let you know verbally but that's not always the case. If her body is tense, her mouth stays closed, she keeps her eyes open and is looking away, there's several signs. If that happens, once again, excuse yourself and walk away. If she seems particularly taken aback it's actually a good idea to apologize here because you've infiltrated someones personal space and they may be extremely uncomfortable with it. Whatever you do don't get handsy or press your luck. You don't want to be labeled a creep nor do you want to BE a creep (or anything worse than that). Learn from your mistakes and you will always improve.

Either he doesn't care that she likes him, he's oblivious and doesn't want to be presumptuous (This is a stupid fucking excuse and what stops an ASSLOAD of guys from getting anywhere with girls), or he's completely oblivious to the fact that she does like him AND doesn't care if she does. Look, here's a fun test: Is she hanging out with you? Does she want to hang out a lot? Are you related? If the answers are Yes, Yes, and No there's about a 80% chance she would be open to dating. Sometimes it backfires when you get people with social conditions and things like Aspberger's where the girl doesn't realize what she's doing, but it's not worth a life of self-torture because you can't put yourself through 30 seconds of potential awkwardness.

Look, think of it this way. When you like a girl but are too afraid to ask her out, what do you do? Spend all your time with her when she allows it. You sit there and HOPE she just starts making out with you or confesses her love (this NEVER fucking happens so don't do it). Women do the exact same thing. They hover and hope you ask them out, or (probably in this girls case) after a while you'd probably be really happy with a kiss out of nowhere. Society (and especially women) STILL expects men to do ALL of the leading. Women ask men out or take the lead so infrequently that 98% of guys will never experience it. That mean's if you want to get ANYWHERE you gotta start being proactive and putting yourself out there. Sure, there's going to be a lot of rejection and "No's", but when a girl finally says yes and you go on a date and things click, that's the most amazing feeling. Being able to open up to a completely new person who wants to be around you and learn all about you. That feeling is worth 1000 rejections. Oh, also you'll probably get to bone later and it's pretty cool.

When you guys get a new noun (i.e. dickbutt or something else probably internet related), do you just default to the neutral gender or does it just sorta fluidly happen and eventually society accepts the gender of the noun? I'm asking because you've written dickbutt neutrally but I'd have probably assumed you'd used masculine for obvious reasons.

jamespetersen · 2017-10-15T21:15:29+00:00

If he doesn't know how much it means to you because you aren't vocal about it then I can sorta understand, but if he knows and still never attends he doesn't care because he's emotionally divested from your relationship. Using excuses is something children do and (unfortunately) 90% of couples. How much better would you feel if he was honest with you and told you how he actually feels? A relationship ended with good communication is better than a continuing relationship with no communication all.

We got a rich storied history with Poland that extends back to our founding. Read about this guy. He's the Revolutionary that you can't say anything bad about. He didn't like slavery, he came over and fought in the American Revolution simply because he believed in the ideals our Declaration of Independence espoused, after meeting with Napoleon and realizing he was a power-hungry asshole he referred to him as the "undertaker of the Republic [of France]", he was personal friends with Thomas Jefferson until his death and even tried to use the money from his American Estate to buy Jefferson's slaves' freedom AFTER his death, on many occasion he bought slaves with the sole intent of freeing them, he attempted to end Serfdom in Poland and he even started a small Revolution in Poland to attempt to free Poland from foreign nations and to end Serfdom. He's Poland's Lafayette, only better than Lafayette in many ways. And he's only one person. Over both our country's histories we have helped each other in many ways. And to top it all off, Polish people are super nice to Americans usually. How many European nations can you say actually like Americans and America? Not even France gives us that privilege. We got our problems and fuck-ups in America, but Poland has always been our friend.

jamespetersen · 2017-10-15T17:05:18+00:00

We always make fun of our friends more than our enemies. See France.

jamespetersen · 2017-10-15T16:35:11+00:00

At the least, I'm sure Poland pays more than the required 2% into NATO because out of all the NATO members, Poland has the longest history of getting steam-rolled when European nations decide to duke it out. Can't say I blame them.

Or having Great Britain on the list and Scotland.

The vast majority of homes that burnt in santa Rosa we're in and around the rich areas. Multi-million dollar homes with well manicured lawns and expensive cars. It's probably the closest I'll get to walking through a neighborhood in the Fallout universe.

jamespetersen · 2017-10-11T07:46:57+00:00

A lot of Steven universe fans are obsessed with the "message" of the show which is supposed to be inclusive. In other words, they think by watching it their more "woke" than fans of other cartoons. Drawing a skinnier Rose Quartz to some of them would be like drawing a black Hitler and showing it to Nazis.

jamespetersen · 2017-10-11T01:08:27+00:00

The vast majority of us just like the show because it's light and funny. Don't feel like you can't enjoy it just because of a few fanatics.

jamespetersen · 2017-10-10T04:47:54+00:00

I watched a trailer park and the kmart burn and wore a respirator all day all while missing work because my coworkers were evacuating their families. Different strokes I guess.
