No, but I did dumb shit like not making easy kills when I could and doing it the hard way, only using my sidearm and still doing better than him, actually kicking it up into high gear and wiping out the whole enemy team solo...

I did feel bad for smurfing all the innocent players who were indirect victims.

The generation that cant email, text or videocall are dying out. The fact is that everyone laments this, wrings their hands, calls it an outrage and then doesnt send a letter or christmas card ever and already gets all of their bills via email. They love the idea of mail.

Not just scoring on someone but adding a bunch of unnecessary showboating, flair and complexity while scoring to really put some emphasis on it.

I was a top 1000 ranked player in R6 Siege for a while. Which sounds unimpressive to people who dont know that at one point there were about 30 million registered players.

Funny Story about that is that I decided to take a break because I was starting to take it too seriously. I was good but I wasnt going to go pro and I had a good job and a mortgage that I was putting at risk by staying up all night playing. So I actually really got into Angry Birds and Plants Vs Zombies for a while something easy enough to just put down and get some sleep... anyway I was at dinner with some of my wifes work friends a few weeks later and it came up that I was a gamer and one of her friends husbands asked me what I was playing and I said "Recently Angry Birds..." and before I could say anything else he turned into an absolute gatekeeping shitlord lecturing me about how that isnt real gaming and so on for about 5 minutes. Then he mentioned he played Siege... I couldnt help myself "Ive seen that, maybe I could add you on steam and try it out sometime" so a little creative account making later a few nights later I joined him in a few casual matches. I spent about 2 hours casually windmill dunking on him before I was like "Man this IS fun, but its getting late. I might head to bed, play a little AB before I crash out."

He was at the Xmas party this year and he is still butthurt.

Hey you can love something and be shit at it.

I love driving race cars, some of the best days of my life had me coming in last place.

I mean I agree. But I also appreciate people finding the quality comedy on those places for me and sharing it here.

Maybe just start a "SocialMediaGems" sub or something.

Speaking VERY GENERALLY and no I dont want to argue about this. 0 to 5 tend to gravitate towards their mother because they want to feel nurtured and protected. 6 to 12 tend to gravitate to their father because they are more likely to encourage behavior that carries an element of risk as they want to try new things or develop skills.

But they also arent stupid and pretty fast pick up on which parent to take what to for the best outcome.

Next time you're in a waiting room or somewhere a bunch of people are just sitting around trying not to bother each other have a look around and see how many people are sitting there actively not closing their mouths to breathe, its going to be zero. I dont mean they dont sigh or take the odd breath either. Then just imagine they are, its horrifying.

I realised today that I cannot actually remember the last time I felt relaxed. I'm so fucking tired.

The memes about it coming starting to pop up in mid october. Its one joke about the song being overplayed, the joke is never original, Ive never seen a creative version of it. If old people have "boomer humor" whats the short term for "Millenials without two brain cells to rub together who will share on any joke that they understand"

The song is well produced overplayed pandering pop garbage. The jokes about it suck more.

Ive been looking into what I can put together for the price I can get a Samsung q990f system for and this reciever seems to do everything I want and it has the benefit of being cheapish.

Essentially I want to watch 4k blurays on a 4k tv with good surround sound. I love the "one box, minimal wires, no legwork" nature of the Samsung. That has value to me. BUT its not quite as good and if something in the bar goes dead, the whole setup is pretty much garbage. So I'm exploring my options.

Second hand receivers that arent 15 years old are still demanding half of what that receiver costs me new, and it seems to have everything that someone setting up a budget 4k 5.1 home theater could want. So, thoughts?

Ok, I need an honest, no BS assessment on how a Samsung q990d system will compare to a cheap 5.1 (or 7.1 etc) system.

I can get a q990d for $1400aud which includes rear speakers and a sub. Will connest with the samsung tv and its all just ready to go out of the box.

Surround sound setups range from free to $40,000... of course a well thought out setup will be better but I just want to hear the cars overtaking me when I watch Ford Vs Ferarri.

For the "sub 2k" price bracket. As a novice, how much am I leaving on the table really?

You still look a bit of a dick, but so much less bad now.

17x7.5,, has a made in england stamping but no definitive stampings for pcd, offset or centerbore. Look like RS Cosworth wheels but arent. Has a retaining bolt hole for the flat bolt hole cover (which I'll post in another comment, which matches some 90s ford wheels) owner says they came off a Peugeot but my fellow french car enthusiasts say they definitely arent an OE Peugeot wheel.

If he was frozen at the very end of the 60s he spent 28 years frozen and was defrosted in 1997... which was 28 years ago this year.

Want to get a hint of what Austin went through being defrosted, go check out how poorly some of those jokes aged.

For me "How long could I get away with driving like an ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE all the time before I lost my licence or had an accident." Speed limits, red lights, stop signs... forget them all. Every day I have to drive sensibly and obey the law because without my licence I dont have a job, and every day I see at least one person driving like an absolute moron and I wonder...

Because that 2 lifetimes table doesnt cost $800 thats what grandma paid for it in the 50s when buying a 4 bedroom house for $30,000 and working at the mill for 50 years was normal.

It also weighs 3 tons and given that you live in a shitty 1 bedroom apartment and have to move every 6 months to an even smaller shoebox that costs an increasing % of your income every damn time, Its probably for the best that your shit is disposable.
