I was wondering about something, when people are referred to as being of Caucasian race, obviously refers to white people. Some people in Europe (e.g. Czechs, Serbians etc.) look a good bit darker than me, are they still Caucasian? What race is an Italian?

An Italian can be any race. "Italian" is an adjective denoting nationality, not race.
 
Can someone PM me the link to the gif of scorpion punching the guy who falls on the escalator? My work filter is blocking the last page of this thread for some reason.
 
GAF, I need your help, in the good old days before Fistful was gunned down I would have pm'd him and I'm sure he could have found it for me, but alas, I need to open the request up to the forum as I'm unaware of any other dedicated joke accounts.

Here's what I'm after, this picture, but in a wallpaper quality resolution, I used to have it, but I've lost it, help me.

I know nothing about american football so.. here I go.

Have a game ever ended 0-0? In that situation is there overtime? Tie?

Thanks!

Actually, I can think of one from the modern era. And there might be more, since OT didn't get added to college ball until the 90s.

The Toilet Bowl, the 1983 Civil War game (Oregon and OSU's annual rivalry game). Here's what wiki has to say:

Played during a rainstorm and pitting two mediocre squads against each other, the game ended in a scoreless tie and is commonly known as the "Toilet Bowl" due to the poor quality of play exhibited in the game. It was not a steadfast defensive struggle: there were eleven fumbles, five interceptions, and four missed field goals. It was the last NCAA Division I football game to end in a scoreless tie, and with the introduction of overtime into NCAA football (which eliminated ties), it is unlikely to ever happen in the future, unless a subsequent rule change allows tie games to once again occur.[

Can someone direct me to a good free video editing program.

What I'm looking to do is increase the brightness/contrast of a video I took with my Digital camera in a club. It looked fine on the Camera's screen but on my PC it was really dark.
 
I've got some stuff up on Craigslist that I've been selling locally, in person, for cash. Just got an offer on some stuff from somebody half of the country away, though, asking if I'll ship; given that this is so far the only offer I've had on it, I'm strongly considering it.

Would Paypal be the safest way to go about this? How do I protect myself against the person saying they never received the item and trying to get their money back (I'm assuming just go with a tracking number)?

Never ship to someone on Craigslist. It always ends badly.

That's pretty much what I was afraid of, but I wanted a few other opinions. Basically no one I know irl uses Craigslist at all.

Think I'll just throw it up on ebay and tell them to bid/buy it now if they still want it. Not getting any bites locally anyway, may as well open it up to the market.

Yeah, do this. Its the best solution. Never ship with Craigslist.

Lowering expectations helps. Less chance of disappointment + bigger delight when pleasantly surprised.

Look for silver linings in shitty things, learn to enjoy simple pleasures, and then the rest slowly comes along. Just don't expect to be in a constant state of orgasm, and you'll be on the right track.
 
In Terminator Salvation, why is there a young Kyle Reese in the future that needs to be protected by his son John Connor, that in the future is older than his father? Haven't watched the 1st Terminator since I was a kid, don't feel like watching it again or reading long plot explanations for the whole saga.


edit- Also, is there a way to adblock an image in a site where you have adblock turned off, without having to turn it on?
 
Stupid question: Has a girl ever told you that "no means yes" sometimes? Thanks to Facebook, I recently reconnected with a girl I once dated. She told me the reason we never had sex was that I didn't want to, when nothing could be further from the truth. I told her, "I remember making a move and you pushing me away and saying no. So I stopped trying."

So she says, "Well, sometimes 'no' means 'yes' if you really wanted me, you should have tried harder.

This makes no sense to me, since I've always been taught to be a gentleman and not force the issue.

Is the girl a nut job or was I a wuss?
 
Someone probably already asked (... many times :/), but what is this ?

It's just a girl being a girl, and a wuss being a wuss.

Biq request but does anyone have any websites or resources where i can download various weather sounds? Particularly rain/thunderstorms and things of that ilk. The clips ideally should be loopable and of decent length (the only clips ive found have been of a single thunder or a few seconds of rain, ideally im talking minutes of consistent storm/rain).

Any help would be hugely hugely appreciated

Sounds like your girl has some sort of rape fantasy because I am female and as far as I'm concerned, no means no. You were right to not pressure her by forcing the issue. Saying "we shouldn't" while still acting flirty is completely different but even if I were trying to be coy I would never give a straight up "no" because I would hope any man I were with would respect a "no" as you did.

In conclusion: nut job

No means no. Always.

Whats her cultural background?
 
I recently got an offer to ship something a few states over from Craigslist.

I was very cautious but he said he had these plates that he could NEVER find and was willing to pay first and pay shipping and handling.

So I got the money, his number and phone checked out in white pages, he gave me his law firm, etc.

He paid first and everything worked out.

He was willing to go eBay and bid but I chanced it since I didn't want to be hit with eBay fees and Paypal fees (He sent it as 'gift').

I'd wait a bit if you can, then toss it up on eBay.

She's Italian. Also worth noting: She's nine years older than me and when this happened I was about 21. She's also like a foot and a half shorter than me.

I was pretty sure that I did the right thing at the time, but when I recently talked to her about it, she got me thinking. It was one of those situations where a hot older woman had an interest in me and I remember it was pretty exciting.

I also got to attend her wedding about 6 months after we stopped dating, where she introduced me to my new girlfriend. That was interesting.

Anyway, thanks for confirming that no does in fact mean no.

After a ski trip with lots of nasty falls due to black diamond mountain shenanigans, I have been feeling 2 things:

1) the lower right corner of my abdomen, by my hip, i can feel some kind of pressure/abnormality inside when i put weight on it or use the muscles in that area. My sister (a doctor) said its a hernia, but I dont know because it got better the past few days. I can still feel it, and I felt a bulgy something when I examined myself that wasnt there on the other side.

What is it?

2) The back of my right knee, inside the leg, hurts every time I bend my foot back or kick backwards. I tore something right?
 
in regards to clinically depressed people. is there an opposite?

are there people that have chemical imbalances that make them feel a lot happier and more elated than other people?

first one sounds like a hernia, it can go away and come back or be completely random in whatever way.

mine never really bothers me but i should get it fixed one day.

Probably not, that requires some time and effort and that show was not that popular in Japan, it was more succesful worldwide as far as i'm aware.

Definitely a nut job. Girls like this don't make any sense at all. No does indeed mean no. I would have handled the case exactly like you did.

It's the girl's fault. Any girl who pulls this kind of shit is a fucking idiot. The sex might be good, but it's not worth it if they enjoy playing mind games. I hate this kind of thing so much.
