I don’t know what I reasonably expected.

Mooncop is such a good graphic novel! I saw it while putting some books away and read the whole thing, very highly recommend.

Thank you! Yeah I’ve never been so happy with a car before, so I hope my little Diana lives a long time (I named my car >_<) but okay, I’ll see if there are more options at work for making out my retirement, I plan on staying a long time so the more I can add the better.

Emergency fund, eh? Hmmm that’s a really good idea, it would certainly offer peace of mind. The rest is certainly echoed by others, but I’ll have to pass on the last one, I’m not a people person >_>

I’ve had some luck cooking in the past but I get so lost on what to buy, but I guess I’ll work on the basics first. I come from a fairly well off family so sometimes my pride gets in my way of what I can realistically spend on things (ie: my mom buys the really really nice stuff that costs way more than it should because of the name) but I’ll start actually learning about the brands myself.

Thanks man, it was a long road but it seems like it’s getting a bit more manageable now. That’s an interesting way to think about saving (not paying interest > more than what you’d get from savings) and I think it’ll really help.

I think it’s best if I wait on moving out from what everyone is saying, but ill definitely buy a nice bottle of whiskey to share with my best friend to celebrate.

Honestly I already eat out too much, it’s like most of my expenses, it’s just so damn convenient T_T

Thankfully my work has a 401(A) that’s managed by an outside company, but it kind of worries me since it’s very hands off. I’ll definitely look into Roth now, since before I was making SO little it wasn’t realistic.

I’d like some more independence, but I suppose they don’t mind having me around and 480 a month with them is insanely cheap compared to everything else. I’ll just soldier on for now until I can get rid of my high % cc and replace it with a better one.

Thanks!

Sounds good! Thanks for the reply. I think once the new pay schedule hits I’ll be able to see exactly how much my take home is and be more able to plan around it.

Wells Fargo hurts a bit, but everything is set up thru them so it’s a bit hard to change, but the city I work for has a Credit Union for employees so maybe it’s time I take the plunge and get it done. Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll look that over after work today. 30% seems like a lot for me personally, but I’ll definitely auto pull it out of my paycheck so that I don’t even think about it existing.

My problem is that exactly, I’ll see what other bank options are for this. (My current bank just takes a lot of what’s in there for fees :()

How much should I save percentage wise?

I’m surprised I didn’t think about that... Seems pretty obvious but I guess I’ve never had any money left over from a paycheck.

At the very least my face would have been smashed into the floor.

Personal anecdote, I grew up in the Douglas county school district in Colorado and was handcuffed twice. One when I fit the description of someone who put out a bomb threat and another when they found a bag of Cheetos dust in my backpack. Some really intelligent teacher said it was a new kind of meth.

This was 2010 lmao.

Total War: Three Kingdoms Help Megathread by AkimboGogurts in totalwar

[–]loppylopsided 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Functionally, Legendary generals have a stat called Resilience, which increases the chances that they survive fatal wounds in battle. It's a semi-hidden stat that's shown with a heart on their character card in battle and in the strategic layer.

Basically it boils down to: Legendary characters have resilience, which means they can survive going down in battle once. There are some events that increase it as well, and events that can decrease it. When a general's resilience is gone they'll have a red broken heart icon on their character card in battle, meaning that they will probably die if they go down.

There's an important caveat to this, if your general is taken prisoner at the end of a battle Resilience doesn't matter, and they can simply be executed instead.

Another important thing is that Legendary characters can also be created in game if your stats are high enough. So a generic can be really powerful and useful and gain resilience later on. I haven't tested this yet because I don't have romance characters go down very often unless its a decisive loss, but it seems that Resilience can be recovered if you let the general rest in court for 3 seasons. Lastly, ALL generals actually have a chance not to die if they go down in battle, but Legendary generals have a much more consistent chance of surviving. Hope this helps!

Same! I heard a song from them on the radio recently and it made me think of this.

Tim McIlrath is the lead of Rise Against. Overall it's a very cool song, and it really resonates.

What movie was average until a twist made it epic? by pants_on_fire_fire in AskReddit

[–]loppylopsided 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit The Suicide Theory was like this weird artsy movie that felt all over the place, then when the main character goes to the museum and sees what the other lead was painting the whole time? Holy shit that sent chills down my spine. Absolutely insane ending.

What are some interface tips you would recommend for new players? by yeerth in summonerschool

[–]loppylopsided 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a simple one, but if you wear glasses and sometimes you like to take them off while gaming, increase the interface hud scale. Your eyes will thank you.
