    The nurse next to me is yelling about how holistic care has ruined us, and we should privatise the NHS

    Just nodding politely...

    Good idea, all the other privatisation of essential services have worked so well and not resulted in profit taking or the creation of complicated rules, that demand the formation of an awful procurement, compliance and litigation industry.

    Would you guys say Batman Games are better on consoles, then?

    You can use an xbox controller if you want

    also, graphics options :bz

    Yeah, but the whole "Lose your saves" feature is not very appealing.

    neither people complaining about corrupted saves said which platform they were on :bz

    Good point...

    Guys who had your Batman saves corrupted: What platform were you on?

    mine wasnt corrupted it just up and vanished from my pc and i dont know why

    Also my tendency to drop key words in posts is most alarming.

    I do it all the time, I'm pretty sure it's a dyslexia thing. My brain just rushes ahead forming the sentence in my head and my fingers don't keep up with the typing, stuff gets left behind as a result.

    Cesca does this while speaking. If her train of thought gets more than a couple of sentences ahead of the sentence she's currently articulating, she'll just end her current sentence with the word "thing" and skip straight to the sentence she's presently thinking about.

    Her mum does exactly the same, thinking about it.

    Also, Radio 4 has an adaption of my home area's most famous person's autobiography (Janet Frame). Slightly odd to hear words like Waitaki or Oamaru on UK radio.

    I really should read her books I guess.

    True or are they telling whoppers for bragging purposes?

    Argh, this is maddening.

    I missed the first class of a course on computer-assisted project management. "No biggie", I thought, "i know how to use MS Project already and it's likely just the 'this is the book you need, this is what we'll do, blah blah blah' syllabus reading, I can live not knowing that."

    WRONG

    The book we need to buy according to the Syllabus was not ordered by the teacher, so i need to pay more since the university's co-op bookstore doesn't have it. And I need to order it, meaning i won't get it in time... And the syllabus is confusing as all get back. I'm gonna be stunted for the entire semester, methinks, for having missed the introductory class. Go me! Whoohoo, so proud of myself for not knowing how to read a fucking schedule properly.

    i'm gonna straighten everything out with the teacher this Tuesday, i guess. At least it's not a hard course, it's something i already know well enough.

    Don't. Stick with it, learn a strategy, try new masks and learn what weapons work for you. It is rewarding.

    4 out of 5 sounds very high. Unless things have changed dramatically it the 8 or 9 years I've been out of school. 2 out of five certainly, 3 maybe at a stretch.

    If I count the people who left school early, so still of school age I think 3 would be about right

    It was the one where you're forced to walk past a guy behind a window on the right, you gotta stick to the left to get past him. I stick with Ted as it seems impossible to melee dogs and I prefer sneaking through than running and gunning, as aiming sucks on a pad.

    Anyway I kept struggling through and it was just floor after floor. I finally gave up on the floor with a bouncer guy, there's just too many blind spots and guards who aren't lured by gunfire

    I don't think that many people got it on in my highschool but it was a science and technology magnet school after all.

    I think more people percentage wise got it on at my jr. high school.

    I don't see what the big deal is. Teenagers now have, always have had, and always will have high levels of hormones and poor impulse control. Frankly, the fact that our nation's high schools aren't the scenes of constant and massive orgies and murders is a minor miracle.

    My advice to teenagers about sex is this: if you accept you'll never get laid in high school, it might wind up happening anyway! But if it doesn't, then like 10 seconds after you graduate high school it'll be about 1000 times easier and probably more enjoyable.

    This book is wrong! There is no such thing as Waitaki High School! They were labeled separately as to Boys and Girls!

    Seriously though, kids, did your parents forget to tell you to wear condoms or what?

    So many of my class got preggo and it blew my mind.

    Pfft. Not with all the Catholics attending. I dunno what black Baptists did but there were notably fewer pregnant black girls.

    Oh another really easy way to get sex if you're half decent looking in high school is to join drama or tech theater.

    God damn but play after parties were awesome.

    "Special Report in the year 2020: With so many teens engaging becoming sexually active at younger and younger ages, the country's sex offender list has ballooned to 250 million entries. Hoping to stem even more new entries, an emergency session of congress is expected to pass legislation lowering the age of consent to 3."

    Holy shit.

    i'm playing Red Dead Redemption.

    i'm in the middle of Perdido, in mexico, at a cliff side, enjoying the beautiful sunrise and i notice two women, one crying, one dead. i approach them and find a revolver between the two of them. "Fuck, she committed suicide" I think. No prompt or anything, so i continue on my not-so-merry-anymore way then hear a single gunshot. i turn back and find the crying woman dead...

    :| Wow... That's a pretty dark random event thing.

    As I recall at least one of the examples had them charged with production (because they took the shots of themselves) as well as distribution.

    Luckily, we barely had cellphones when I was in HS.

    I had a p sweet brick-style phone with a dragon on it, replacement blue keypad, and a hologram screen protector.

    I was the shit.

    No cameras yet, for the most part.
