    The victims include an 84-year-old man; three women, ages 80, 45 and 30; two girls, ages 12 and 10; and a smaller girl whose age was unclear, the New York Fire Department said.

    Dad, Mom, their two daughters, the eldest daughter's two daughters, and the youngest daughter's daughter.

    All wiped out because, I imagine, the old guy, who was probably driving, lost control of the either minivan or SUV.

    Observation: In the time I have worked in motor insurance, every incident I've worked on that involved a fatality or fatalities (of a person inside a vehicle) has been a single-vehicle accident.

    REALLY?!

    That is interesting and now that you mention it, I rarely hear about vehicle vs. vehicle fatalities unless it was because of a drunk driver. Most vehicle related fatalities seem to be vehicle vs. pedestrian or vehicle vs. something immobile.

    Yes. I had this same conversation with my aunt, when she was going to get my (18 year old, just passed her driving test) cousin a car. She was stressing about what would be the safest thing to get, but really it's more or less irrelevant because it is really hard to die in a car crash (assuming a relatively modern car) unless the collision is so severe that you wouldn't survive in any car.

    there comes a point where i get really fucking frustrated at even the hint of doing certain people a favor. but when the favor costs you relatively little and it's really important to this person- the difference between a place to live and homelessness, for instance- it seems inhumane to stiff them just because they are shitty friends/family.

    You could murder them instead. You know, solve the problem once and for all and technically you've also solved any long-term issues about humane treatment.

    Urgh motherfuck. It's 6am and I've only just finished recreating a better version of what I had already done. Also, this introduction is retardedly long - it was quicker to do the actual results.

    Is there a technical name for when an organization refers to itself in the third person? For example, imagine a representative of the White House delivering a press conference might say something along the lines of "The White House has decided to...". It's kind of like Illeism, but not quite.

    Being stuck at work is the worst.

    Also wondering if I should just give up on posting in the Tribes thread at all. All I feel like I do anymore is tell people that they are wrong, and then link to videos and websites telling them that they are wrong.

    A little advice for you guys: If you quit playing LoL, don't start playing it again a year later. Just... never play it again.

    Or just do the smart thing and never start playing in the first place.

    That's what I did, and look at me now!

    This is true, but replace year with 3 months or any extended period of time.

    I have no idea what to do anymore. Any time I try to play a game that isn't with PA people I get yelled at because I don't instantly know my place. It is not fun to just be yelled at so fuck it.

    The game was like that when you first played it too.

    It's always worth it not to be involved with shitty people. Small favours might not take a lot out of you, but knowing lots of shitty people totally will.

    Yeah, those people are all idiots. It's p common for people to just shout gibberish at others instead of trying to get better. So just play with us PA people!

    Empathize, right? Like "understand" but in the sense of being in another person's shoes?

    Yeah but I don't have the benefit of a level 1 account to be matched with people like that. I get matched with people who know what they are doing.

    'grasp' is probably the closest to it i've seen

    but grok has such strong connotations, it's like 'to completely understand and be one with something', right

    like, 'it took me thirty or forty blowjobs to really know how porn stars felt' or 'to really grasp how porn stars felt' or 'to really empathize with the feelings of porn stars'

    they all seem weaker than grok

    but

    i refuse to use this shitty nerd word, even though it seems useful
