    PA folks are dicks.

    And they're dicks on voice chat, which about 10x worse.

    And going in with a premade fucks with the matchmaking.

    I have a kinda "I don't have to give a damn" attitude to solo queue that can occasionally make it more relaxing than playing with friends, as with friends you kinda have to actually try, and then if you try and your team still fails that ain't such a good feelin'. 8(

    Though recently I've just stopped giving a shit about the outcome of a game when playing with friends, and a buddy and I just go for the duo kill lane bottom because loads of players think that just because the pros do 0cs support + ranged AD then it's uncounterable. Dem honkies gotta meets the J4 + Pantheon lane of DUNKMASTAS.

    It happens sometimes. Generally I reserve grenades for situations where I need a lot of damage right now. Like running into a pair of Ravagers. In silver they are simply too precious to waste simply because there is a nice grouping of cannibals.

    I don't know, it kept doing that to me. It was driving me insane. To fix it I had to stop all my torrents, reboot my PC, then start up just the one I wanted to get. Eventually it stopped throttling and I could re-enable everything else. No idea what was going on.

    The best was Kakos and I deciding that we would pair up for biotic explosions. I'd warp targets, he'd throw. For the little mobs we'd deal with them on our own, but when the Banshees and Brutes would show up, we'd go to town on them.

    I don't understand why schools can't just incorporate that into health education.

    Tell them that having a baby sucks, not being able to go to college because you knocked some girl up at prom will hinder your chances at success in life and p much guarantee the cool kids will make fun of you at the five year reunion. Having an abortion sucks. There are diseases out there that will make your dick fall off. If you bone, use a condom. Juno is a terrible movie.

    Don't do it!

    this is my beef with it

    people have been doing it since the beginning of history

    literally

    people have been doing it forever

    that is how we are all in existence right now

    from people doing it.



    if we were promoting abstinence on the front that children who are still developing psycologically aren't emotionally equipped to deal with a sexual relationship, i would agree

    but just telling people to not do it is insane

    like, tell kids that the only way to 100% prevent disease is to not do it, and that they most likely aren't ready for that kind of involvement - but if you do - here's what you need to know to keep yourself safe!

    i am not sure what is so controversial about that

    infact it seems like it would be a good middle-of-the-fairway for sex ed

    i remember for instance our sex ed teacher going over condoms, and at one point she jokingly said "baby I'm too big for a condom" in this jockish voice, then proceeded to roll a condom over her fist and down her forearm, and the class erupted in laughter

    i guarantee nobody in the class accepted that excuse from some dude ever, and was therefore safer!

    I should make sure mine is set like that. Throttling is the wrong term but for me, it started using very large amounts of RAM and nothing would download at a reasonable speed. I checked my connection for evidence of throttling and it was fine. It was just uTorrent not, I guess requesting additional pieces or something.

    That was my Dad's stance. My Mom's was that I should wait until marriage. My thought during that discussion was that perhaps this would have gone better if she had spoken to me the month before.

    Because parents/politicians/retards don't want it to be health education. They want teenagers to think sex is horrible and wrong. These are the "AIDS was punishment from God for unnatural acts" people.

    Well, the reason I had to reboot was uTorrent wouldn't actually close. I'd tell it to quit and it never would. Killing it via task manager did nothing at all. The reboot was the only way to force it to start fresh.

    Hm. In that case, is the port utorrent uses open on your router? Check your Up/Down limits too. A lot of times, if you leave your "upload" setting on unlimited, people downloading from you can flood the connection, which will force your download speed into the basement. Limit your upload speed to 10-20k/sec and downloads shouldn't have a problem.

    The thing is that when people talk about comprehensive sex education, I think there are a lot of ignorant yokels out there who think they mean "tell kids to fuck as much as they want, that a condom makes it okay!"

    We had comprehensive sex education in my middle and high schools, and they said "abstinence is the only really safe sex" millions of times. Over and over again that was repeated, drilled into our fucking heads. But then they moved on to "but if you do have sex, here is how you make it safer."

    That is the standard, usual way in which sex ed is taught. As far as I know, there isn't any sex education program that consists of "everyone should be having sex all the time, use condoms."

    That's a funny mental image, but it's not a very good demonstration. People shouldn't use inappropriately-sized condoms. They don't feel good and they're more likely to break. Your penis is more sensitive fist, and you're not subjecting that (now-overstressed) condom to friction and heat.

    It would have been better if she had shown the different sizes of condoms available and just said, "If you're a big guy, buy the large ones."

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
