I think that the joke is that airports are huge and notoriously hard to navigate. If you get sick, it's difficult to get you to a hospital in time. Even a minor illness ends up terminal because you can't find your way out and into medical care.

PS4's upload seems to be 1.5mb Hrmm. Ees sufficient for Aliens Isolation stream on release night?
I just about never skip any classes. Too nervous that I might miss something useful.
Although I fell asleep in nearly every micro economics and calculus class because they were in the morning. Not a morning person.
And I had a really trippy hallucination when I fell asleep during a stats class. It looked like the professor was stomping around in an exosuit and spraying a flamethrower over the class to punctuate his points. I've never been more terrified but I couldn't move.
Why [butter in coffee]? "It makes for the creamiest, most satisfying cup of coffee you’ve ever had," Dave Asprey writes on his website. He's the creator of Bulletproof Coffee, the small company credited for popularizing the concoction. The tech-investor attributes a high-fat diet to his 80-pound weight loss. And beyond taste, Asprey says this buttery drink provides all of the energizing benefits of a cup of coffee, without the four o'clock slump. Bulletproof believers insist that the butter's high-fat content will slow the time it takes for your body to metabolize the coffee's caffeine. In other words, increased energy, decreased crash.
The other day I made a dessert which consisted of coffee, sugar, and the fat from a can of coconut milk
Ummm, maybe because they lack creativity and don't understand the larger systems at work in the game? Personally, I spent five minutes on the Loot Cave simply to discover where it was. I play with another guy who said he spent around four hours there, but it took till last night when I played with that guy on some focused raids for him to begin to come close to my level. The way I leveled without the loot cave? By playing modes which rewarded me with items other than drops, i.e. Vanguard Rank and Vanguard Marks, both of which also provide drops, while still providing end-game items and the marks and rank like I mentioned. Like, these players presumption that the "best" way to gear up is to attempt to mine an exploit is. simply. wrong. It's just masses of people that want to become "elite" without actually doing the things required to achieve that. They want a shortcut, and they're frustrated when that shortcut isn't as lucrative as they've been led to believe in previous MMOs which are rife with little exploits for "power" players like Destiny has.
I don't get why that assumption is wrong. The other benefits can obviously be a reason to play the various modes other than the loot cave, but if the person only cares about getting the best gear that he can right now, those other benefits aren't really a factor. It would all come down to what is the quickest way to get drops.
I have no clue how much loot you can expect to get from the loot cave versus playing it the way the developers intend for you to play so I don't actually know which way would be the best way for a person focused on just getting the best loot.
No. Wrong.
The best gun I have? It was from achieving Vanguard Rank 3, which is earned via Bounties, Strike Playlists, or Daily / Weekly Missions.
The best armor? Purchased with Vanguard points, earned via Public Events, Strike Playlists, Daily / Weekly. Until I did a Queen Kill Order last night and got some nice armor from that.
The Exotic gear I will buy tonight? From Strange Coins, earned by simply playing.
The idea that the fastest way to gear up is via drops is. just. plain. wrong. And, honestly, completely lacks any kind of creativity or analytical thinking on the player's part to fail to see that.
The average player doesn't have the tools to even do the rough math of what the average player can expect from the loot cave versus regular play for the same period of time.
In the absence of that, the average player is going to rely on anecdotes and his own personal experience which will be problematic.
Sooooo ... basically the "average" player lacks the imagination required to do anything besides finding the best way to press the least buttons while still getting the most shiny thing?
Because personally, I looked at the really good items in the Tower, saw they required Vanguard Rank and Vanguard Marks, then sought out ways to get Rank and Marks in the game. I also saw that leveling high level items helped my level, and determined that mining region specific resources and maximizing large XP releases (i.e. bounties or completing missions) was the best way to level through those. I didn't open up a spreadsheet or anything, didn't use a calculator, just saw I needed things besides Engrams to advance, and then set out to get those things. And ... I also got Engrams while I did that, because ALL enemies drop, not just ones in caves.
I mean really, it's a pretty amazing lack of imagination to think Loot Caves are some kind of great insight. It's an amazing bit of sociology to watch unfold here.
The player who currently only cares about phat loot would need to figure out how long it would take to get the currency needed to get stuff from the merchant and how much loot he could expect from killing enemies along the way. He would then need to figure out how much loot he can expect from the cave for the same amount of time. The games guts not being open means that figuring that out would be really hard. Most people aren't going to know how many enemies they are killing during normal gameplay compared to how many they would kill in the cave. The RNG basically guarantees that people are going to have very different experiences because the random number god is capricious.
You seem to be arguing that only focusing on the loot and ignoring leveling up doesn't really make sense, which I'm not going to deny. However, a lot of people are probably in it just for the shinies like with many games that have loot in them.
Yeah, exactly -- players are overly obsessed with shiny things.
Like, crazily obsessed with them. Unquestionably compulsively obsessed with them. Even though the Loot Cave does not, and never will, give you Rank or Marks (both of which are required to purchase always available high level gear), players sit there collecting shinies, and then complain when the shinies don't add up to a digital mansion. They do this for hours and then say how un-fun it all is. It's extremely akin to obsessive gambling behavior, where the addiction to the possibility of winning becomes greater than the fact that it's a damaging behavior that makes no secret of the fact that it's rigged against the player. Bungie patching the Caves is really like setting up a self-help hotline -- move on little player! attempt something else! realize there is more to the game than shinies!
But then in less than 24 hours, a new trove of shinies is found...
I would have guessed he was copycatting ISIS videos but then there was that beheading of the random bystander in London last year with a cleaver. Before ISIS was around.
I mean one time, I actually asked permission to cut school
my parents looked at me like "I ...I don't think you know how this is done."
I AM TOO HONEST.
I cut school once. Didn't like the choir director, went home.
Found my mom there, miserable, in the wake of a surgery that she had kept secret from us.
"What are you- nevermind, walk me up the stairs. Bring me some ice, hand me my medicine."
I didn't cut school. I just stayed in the library instead of going to classroom.
Except whenever teachers told me to get out and I complied out of spite. I didn't even do anything fun. Gotta commit to wasting that time on sulking in the cold.

those actually end up looking pretty interesting, because they tried to accommodate the original male features somewhat
replace all husbandos with waifus, replace all waifus with husbandos
the only conclusion
No. Explain further.
I didn't go to about half of my honor's physics classes second semester.
Skipped more than a few econ/political party classes because it was an easy A and a waste of time.
Hell saw the teacher multiple times in the day after and he didn't care.
i'm not saying there's a correlation but
@shazkar Shadowstorm
kill it with fire
Enough to fuck me freshman year but after that usually just stats.
Stats was easy though.

do u get it tho
Go on.

a terminal illness is a type of illness that is uncurable, and ultimately kill the person who has contracted said illness
the various sections of airports where passenger waiting areas and gates are located are called terminals
thus, the joke is a pun; "terminal" in "terminal illness" referring to the airport terminal, not the descriptor of the illness
Hideo
Plz
Seriously.
Why not both?
SUFFER NOT THE SPIDER TO LIVE
and my gosh was it delicious
terminal is derived from terminus, the reman god of boundary markers

It looks to me like they merged all of the princes with their respective princesses.
Like, what's up with John Smith.

Can you provide some diagrams
I saw your intro and thought it crackled.
