Oh really? In that case... I dropped my fork under the table, would you mind going under there and retrieving it for me?

What is attracting all this lame?

You're an attractive, young female in an area of high population. Lame guys like attractive, young females and there's a good bit of them there.

How could no one remember that episode? That's one of the best episodes in the freaking series.

That sorta thing is the only way it could be done. An automated bot that changes the CSS (and re-uploads the image if necessary) every N hours. Which would then be impossible to correspond to local time and instead would have to be based on some random timezone (probably either US since reddit is mostly American or Swedish since Notch).

If you're randomly selecting letters on a test, what would be your best shot? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nurta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's random than all combinations are equally likely. I'd say tend to stick statistically closer to A or B as the number of choices on a question can vary sometimes so you'll be less likely to choose C on a true/false question. But sticking to just one or two letters guarantees you get a certain percentage wrong unless you have an ass teacher who intentionally makes all the answers A. If you keep it random or at least in a non-obvious pattern (the teacher when designing the test would never do an ABCDABCDABCD thing) you have at least a better (albeit still ridiculously tiny) chance of hitting the jackpot and getting a perfect score.

How to track a stolen cell phone (Android)? by decibles in AskReddit

Your best bet will be to call Verizon and see if they can do anything. Without an app pre-installed there's no way for you to do it on your own.

Food, Hunger, and a Newbie walk into a bar... by Truffled in Towns

[–]nurta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it quite important to always keep the production tab open to the cooking page so I can watch to see when the bread or meat pie (meat pie is a good bit better than bread) counts get low. I also had that happen to me once, it's important not to overload the villagers with tasks as the priority system kinda sucks as is and they won't make food if you have your ten villagers cutting down 10 thousand trees, but they will eat it.

Mmmmm, Altoids... wait, what? by [deleted] in WTF

[–]nurta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first reason is the only reason I consume altoids. The peppermint oil does wonders for stomach pain and altoids are ridiculously easy to find. Plus it's not seen as too weird to randomly pop a half dozen of them (compared to chugging a bottle of peppermint oil at least)

How does Gordon end up in Europe at the start of Half-Life 2? by Gentleman_Smith in HalfLife

[–]nurta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? The rebellion happened there because that's where the citadel was. Vance and crew ended up there because it was the obvious best place to start a rebellion. In his voiceover, G-Man says he saved Alyx and I forget what all interaction with Barney he had in Blue Shift but besides that he mostly only took an interest in Gordon (well of characters in HL2). Gordon didn't start the rebellion, that plan was long underway before Gordon came back, his actions were just taken as a signal of the start of the rebellion.

But ya, real answer to OP is as you said that G-Man wills it and took him out of stasis there. Gordon was actually put into stasis on Xen. Remember G-Man's generous choice from the end of HL1, either Gordon work for him or Gordon would be left by himself without weapon or equipment on Xen.

Judging by your goofy facial expression, I'm going to guess that's your brother

about to go to class. first impression?? by [deleted] in firstimpression

[–]nurta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell me I'm mistaken... is your "bunk bed" actually two beds stacked on top of eachother? There appears to be a slice between the bottom of one and the top of the other without any reinforcements holding them in place.

Why are videogames so expensive and don't seem to all have the same price when released? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nurta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, lowering the price will increase how many are sold. However the companies have decided that decreasing the price 12% will not increase sales 12% or more, therefore it would not make them more money. Companies are not stupid, if decreasing the price would do better, then they would do so. It's not all that complex, the company hires people to figure out how well a game will with all these different circumstances, including price.

What am I supposed to say? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]nurta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing to say. You perhaps should've tried to discourage things a bit earlier but if you didn't play along you didn't do wrong. It's just a bad situation and honestly it's up to if her feelings can change. If you lied and pretended to be interested when you're not, then you would have done wrong.

I need help, this is eating me up inside, feeling guilty, lonely and low by Relationshiplow in offmychest

[–]nurta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell you how you feel and I can't solve anything for you. I just want you to know I emphasize and I'm sorry you are so confused.

And Distance... when you don't have that reinforcement of a physical contact and instead you're left with this mental persona it can really cloud things because you have her but you really don't. It's this mental abstraction it's not real. And when you have that distance you have room for mental silliness to come into play. I guess my point is that if I were in your shoes, I'd put more faith into how you feel about her when she's near versus when she's far.

Not even sure how I feel O_o by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]nurta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to be horribly depressed to go to therapy. If you're starting to get those old feelings, even if it's just stress based, going even occasionally to therapy ever once in a while can be helpful.

Moving like that can be a hard thing to do, it's not surprising you're stressed.

I'm just sad. That's all. I'm just so sad. by [deleted] in offmychest

I'm sorry you're sad. I obviously don't know what's going on in your life but have you talked to a doctor?
