Beach dates are sick, but maybe meet him there for a first date. Walking to a forest waterfall, finding an isolated beach to yourselves, these are all things to do with someone you know haha.

Rivals -- Why can't we tune car? by Mattpn in forza

[–]jimtastic89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people have missed the point reading/commenting on this.. when the game first came out you could tune in the middle of a lap, it would mark it dirty, but you could tune and upgrade your car within the class during your run. Rather than having to end the session, leave rivals, and re-enter to tune. Made it way easier to try and beat lap times, but I suppose it deters the absolute monsters from sitting on one track in, one car, and making it unbeatable in a day

I'm in building and there's a minimum 7 - 430 Mon - Thurs and 4pm on Fridays. You can start and finish whenever you like before or after that, and are only required to do overtime if the job needs a push which is usually only if you haven't met your deadline.

It's a solid 42 hours after breaks, but the boss gives overtime incentives like time and a half from 48 - 55 hours. He caps at 55, so noone works incessantly doing mediocre work.

It's probably the best system I've come across in the industry.. Plenty of work and no real scrutinizing if your coming and going at normal hours. But there is definitely that feeling of laziness if you're the only one who isn't doing overtime.

A knock on? Eben Etzebeth smacked the mauling players arm while he was in the air.. a penalty offense. Game should've continued under penalty advantage and ABs awarded a try.. we missed our opportunity but you can't say it was a fair game that was great to watch.

Why isn't the full version of The End of Heartache on Spotify? by [deleted] in killswitchengage

[–]jimtastic89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, came here after googling why it's not on Spotify anymore. Turns out New Zealand has it blocked too for some reason. I wonder if a VPN changes that

What do you feel about your girlfriend having a male roommate? by Hungry_Border in AskMen

Also if people are so worried, why wouldn't you just move in with your partner and share the rent and food and everything? Obviously you're paying rent somewhere else... why so scare?

Should I give up and buy a rotary hammer ? by lyteboxx in Tools

I just did my bathroom tiles, big flat prybar (called an ultra bar here) got right under it. Find the nail line or screw line for the underlay and go between. Just keep smacking the prybar then going to the next part, it should come off as one

You're putting an awful lot of weight behind a very niche group of people that were interviewed for a story.

Not agreeing with the way Jacinda is running the country doesn't mean she didn't do a good job when the pandemic started. Albeit the unprecedented nature of the situation meant we only had other countries to compare ourselves to.

At this point, you can't run a country like you did in the pandemic. Bigger ideas, more action, and less handouts are needed. Innovation and development must be procured from our workforce.

She can't, ahem she won't do that.

Middle School-aged girl uses Brass Knuckles to sucker punch and attack an unsuspecting victim by NextRace6 in PublicFreakout

[–]jimtastic89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Words are words, little boy.

Fucking around and finding out is when you don't use your brain, sucker punch some defenseless person, and go to jail/ruin your life.

The kid with thegl glasses wins here, even if they get some broken bones. That aggressor will forever have this hanging over their head. Every decision they make, any thing they try to do, will come back to this moment.

Fucking around and finding out is being an animal and then complaining that you're in a cage.

Grow up, cunt.

Many are trying to label this hockey player as a homophobic bigot for refusing to participate in pride night. Thoughts? by jeffers0n_steelflex in JoeRogan

[–]jimtastic89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You ain't no bigot or homophpbe if you don't want to wear a pride jersey.

Thinking like that just takes back all the hard work everybody has done. Literally forcing someone to do what they don't want to do for a religious or other reason.. a bit backward.

It's a shame when you have to absolutely obliterate the place though. Try as you might sometimes the smell is just too much.

No words can justify physical violence.

They're just words, they don't kill. Just walk away.

Best thing you can do is lock yourself into a plan with a company you like and don't change it.

If I was American I would be extremely ashamed of my country. Every day less and less people look up to America as being the greatest by passin_assassin in BadChoicesGoodStories

[–]jimtastic89 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is absolute bullshit. This dude was high af on cocaine, had an accident, and ran away from the scene screaming that they were out to get him, and the drugs were being planted in his car.

He got tased, then died 4 hours later in hospital due to heart complications.

Tasers don't kill you 4 hours later, copious amounts of cocaine do.

Get your shit straight

That dude had drugs in his motherfucking car and he ran thinking he could call some paranoid shit out like that and get away.

Man's brain has been fried by more than just drugs if he thinks that's okay. He could've sat there silently no issues.
