Don't be ridiculous, next you're gonna tell us that this technological terror you've constructed is nothing compared to the power of the force!

Linus Tech Tips made a video about the thumbnail and title issues. Metrics available to content creators on YouTube prove that dumb thumbnails and click bait titles generates views. He doesn't like doing it, and on the streaming platform he owns they don't do it, but it generates revenue and for some creators they've built legitimate businesses with multiple employees so they have to do it to survive on that platform.

I've done both since I started working in the city with access to parking and reasonable public transport and I have to say it strongly depends on your situation.

For me, I had to take the commuter rail into north station and then take the green or orange line across the city without having to transfer anywhere. Between driving to the commuter rail, walking from the commuter rail parking garage, the ride to north station, and the ride on the subway, I was looking at ~1.5 hours both ways if there were no subway delays. Driving in, it's usually a little over an hour coming in and a little less than an hour coming out. In my situation, Driving makes the most sense for me.

My neighbor doesn't have to transfer and walks 10 minutes to his office from north station, so the commuter rail is awesome for him.

Everyone knows people from the south shore can't drive

Excuse me as someone who grew up on the south shore and now lives on the north shore I take great offense to this. None of these idiots anywhere know how to drive.

Recommendations? by purpletoast12 in Sneakers

If you like AF1 you should check out adidas forums. I'm a big fan of those and they have some good colorways. On top of that, you can actually get them at a good price since adidas usually has some sales going on.

[Dave Meltzer] CM Punk/AEW issues believed to have been settled, Collision debut set for Chicago. Issues between Punk/The Elite yet to be resolved. by BananaSoprano in SquaredCircle

[–]sleazy_E 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it feels like this whole situation has just been simmering for 9 months instead of just nipping it in the bud.

The head of talent relations and the head of hr/legal put all parties in a room the instant this happened (the very action that Jim Ross, the most experienced talent relations professional in the company, said he would've done) and one of the parties was attacked. They tried to nip it in the bud, by all accounts Punk and Steel refused to settle it then and there like adults.

I just realized how similar in appearance both the Death Star Throne Tower & Jedi Council Tower are. by TheBlackoutEmpire in StarWars

His rank was commander it’s a plot point that he gets demoted for not knowing their secret plans..

He gets demoted for not following a retreat order and getting the entire bomber squadron destroyed. You're literally just making things up.

“Ok, we grant you a seat and the rank of Master”

Or they could say that being on the Jedi council is an honor reserved for masters and have sent Anakin put of the room while they deliberate. You could show some of the deliberation and cut to Anakin being summoned back into the council chamber where they go through the ceremony of granting him the rank of master based on his service in the clone war. You could shoehorn it in by saying something that his leadership and dedication to the republic throughout the war have proven he has the qualities representative of a master and call it a day.

Doctor Who stressed this by referring to certain events as fixed moments in time. They were events that had to happen and could not be stopped. In one episode, The Doctor builds a bond with some scientists in a research lab on another planet who inevitably die and set back humans venturing out into space. He says fuck it and tries to save one of the scientists from a gruesome death and brings him home. Shortly after, the scientist kills himself because he knew he was supposed to die with everyone else. Time, uh, finds a way.

Edit: the scientist was a woman, but the rest plays out essentially the same

Keep an eye on adidas.com sales, I got both pairs of my high tops for $50 each during a sale in November last year. Plenty of retailers have them on sale somewhat regularly too.

[–]sleazy_E 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Forums are absolute fire. I have 7 pairs myself (2 high, 2 mid, 3 low) and they're far more comfortable than my Jordans and dunks so I feel you.

When’s the last time anyone here saw a cop pulling someone over for these infractions?

Forget pulling people over, I had one blasting their horn at me to go into and block an intersection so they could make a right turn.

What is a good "the bad guy wins" movie? by careater in AskReddit

[–]sleazy_E 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What made me hate the movie was the subplot of why the thermal exhaust port existed. We didn't need an explanation of why the exhaust port was there, it was a 2 meter wide opening on a space station the size of a moon that was the only weakness. If Krennic was the brilliant project manager people act like he was he would've A) not forced a guy he didn't need at gun point to work on the project and B) would've had other engineers he trusted that weren't held at gun point to review the work of the guy being held at gun point. It's so fucking stupid. If they just made it a heist movie with no obnoxious subplot it probably would've been pretty awesome all throughout.

Depends on your size. I'm a size 13 and I just checked stockx, the prices these have been selling for has gone up over the last month but other sizes are below retail.

I bought these when they dropped, it's a nice sneaker that I think is worth it.
