It's disturbing how so many men around here (and the Internet in general) think that women and/or sex are the cure for all of their problems.

Especially when money cures way more problems. Good luck getting Sallie Mae to accept your used condom as payment on your loan, but hey...congrats on the sex.

Relationships come with their own set of problems. Too many people want to play jenga by adding new blocks instead of fixing the ones they have. And the time and money blocks start to get mighty loose when that happens if you don't pay attention.

I got it too, did you have a problem when fighting larger groups of enemies Labor. ? i wasn't feeling that aspect.

Also the camera could use a lot of work.

I switched to Tempest for big groups and hoped for the best lol. It got easier once you got the Phantom Sword though, wondering how soon you'll get AOE in the release.

Also my fucking team kept getting in my way and blocking me, almost getting me killed several times.

Where is the "I just need a girl and I will be alright" sentiment originate? If you are shitty and you get a girl, now two people are not happy.

I think they believe, because they feel so overwhelmed by their life, that if they can just find someone they'll be able to use the stability that a relationship brings, they can to start to rebuild their life.

Foxxhole on Sirius is some of the best radio around btw. Great standup and good music, uncensored, love that channel.

Every time I see Kevin Hart talking about stand up, or comedians, it makes me miss Patrice O'Neal even more, because he could destroy all of them.

Dude burned so many bridges, said fuck off to the industry, then died from morbid obesity, tragic.

So I just found out that there was a one-eyed baby born somewhere in or near Israel. Also that the baby being having born with one eye and all in the middle east, that is supposedly(and im not surprosed either) has some pretty crazy religious connotations to its birth. Just google one eye baby. Baby looks hella weird.

I honestly don't know I came upon this story.

The 2006 Indian baby or the 2008 Bolivian baby? Those shots are old as shit, and being repurposed by ISIS to galvanize the gullible into joining up and being saved as righteous, now that the end times are upon us. Or something.

Story is BS my man.

Um, everywhere? There's definitely an underlying theme in our culture that if you're in a relationship, everything is sunshine and rainbows as it's seen as indicative of being a desirable and likable human being with a wealth of good traits and self-esteem. We don't really focus as much on how many people who are an absolute mess get into relationships and don't improve at all or how some relationships actually leave you worse as a person when they end.

There's also the fact that some people are just very lonely and think if they find someone to alleviate that, things will be okay.

Yeah it gets worse when family members especially parents keep on asking of when are you going to get a girlfriend/boyfriend/ or a significant other all the time. Its tiring. The pressure is there for some folk.

Being in a relationship has become the "social standard" and it's unfortunate how many people I know get so attached to the idea. It's been taught to us since a ridiculously young age. Get the office job, get the girl/man, get the crib, get the kids, die.

Games don't usually bother me, but Battlefield Hardline had me a certain type of way. I know it was jsut bad timing that it got announced while it was the summer of killing black men. But it still felt a little offensive and tone deaf. I played the beta and it was fun for a battlefield game, but I still felt a tightness in my chest. I will probably still get it for cheap, it's just the first time I ever felt like that.

Good lord I'm about to lose my shit in Gaming side. So many coporate apologists and the fact that hardly anyone has any grasp of the Auteur Theory just pisses me off.
