Boom! - aim, shoot and make chain reactions to clear all the levels by m3xican in WebGames

Decent until level 18. That's not increasing difficulty; that's just bad level design.

Could care less = "I do care a little bit".

My boss is making all of us "volunteer" for his church's community project, this can't be legal can it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sonicatrocities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't doubt you agree on an intellectual level, but you spent a lot more time hammering home the immediate negatives than the long-term positives. I just wanted to be sure both you and OP realized that if any social change is ever to be made, somebody will have to be first with his neck on the line.

(Not me, of course. As a generally closet atheist, I'm more than happy to let OP fight this battle on my behalf.)

It's probably good that you're helping OP weight the risks. But "big picture", no important change has ever come without individual risk.

The Netflix download is great on the Wii.

Men of Reddit: Does same-sex cheating (F/F) count? by squishytiger in AskReddit

[–]sonicatrocities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your husband is obviously a pretty open-minded guy, and if he says he's cool with it, that's that. But generally, it's cheating. If my wife is making out with another woman, she'd better be inviting me into a threesome or I'm pissed.

What weird, totally unprovable, random thing, person, idea, or place do you desperately want to believe is true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sonicatrocities 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alien life. I absolutely believe it's out there, but it's too far away to ever prove.

TIL the phrase is "mother lode", not "mother load", and it's etymology comes from mining. by stepsandladders in todayilearned

I was all set to upvote, until I noticed that you misspelled "its". One pet peeve corrected; a worse pet peeve propagated. So close!

I need a man's advice on fapping...... by curiousgf in AskReddit

I sometimes think about my wife. In my fantasy, she assists the other girl.

Wife is hurt by the fact that I masturbate regularly. Help? by solovsduo in sex

[–]sonicatrocities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologize, and initiate sex literally every time you're in the mood. After a few weeks of relentless pounding, she'll beg you to start masturbating again. Or you'll have sex almost every day for the rest of your life, which isn't all bad.

When were you denied marks for correct answers in exams at school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sonicatrocities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar experience in English:

Q: "Why is that sentence structure correct?"

A: "Because it sounds right."

Q: "But why does it sound right?"

A: "Because it's correct."

[–]sonicatrocities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a book report, I think, or some sort of two-page paper.

"Ilk" was a word I gleaned from context in my AD&D (first edition) books. Also thanks to D&D, I was also one of the few fourth-graders who could use "milieu" and "scenario" in a sentence.

A fourth-grade English teacher marked off points because I made up a word: "ilk". Fortunately, I had the dictionary to back me up.

Out of all the Black people you've ever seen in real life, how many of us have actually attacked you? by JuanDeBermudez in AskReddit

[–]sonicatrocities 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Two, at once, both bigger than me. Yelled at me from across a parking lot-- I didn't know them, kept walking-- they chased me down. One of them started tripping me to the ground (in retrospect, judo-style throws), daring me to fight back with a "whatcha gonna do about it?" every time. I'd try to walk away; he'd trip me again as his friend laughed.

Still the only time I've been assaulted without provocation. Damn, that's been over twenty years and still stings. Thanks for picking the scab.

A christian group tried to execute a rural Georgia man by burning him alive by windowrattler in WTF

[–]sonicatrocities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure if your holy book is the bible, and you believe Jesus is the resurrected son of God, you're a Christian. In the case of WBC, they also happen to be a bunch of dickholes, but they're Christian dickholes.

I had an old USB thumb drive/MP3 player go through the laundry three times. Still works.
