#44 I don't know how often it needs to be said in this thread, nothing actually happened to the guy.

So you met a chick on Tinder, which means she was ready to put out from the start, and somehow arrive at the point where she won't even do it with you for money? Now those are some negotiating skills.

So what actually happened is CNN looking up the kids Reddit profile in an effort to do a story about how this sort of content is produced (this is a fairly routine strain of reporting these days, see the Planet Money podcast about a guy who operates sites publishing fake news articles), use information everyone could view to contact him, kid shits his pants and deletes his posts, apparently surprised that the garbage you can post online can be traced back to you. Subsequently, CNN states that they're not going to expose him.

You have to have a dangerously warped perspective to think that this is somehow the evil MSM threatening anyone's freedom of expression, but paranoia seems to be the one unifying characteristic of right-wingers today, so who am I to argue.

Oh, any by the way, next time just link the whole story instead of Twitter screencaps before "greentexting" (which LOL) made up bullshit like ">tell you they know your identity and will reveal it if you continue to be offensive" on here, thank you very much. http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/04/politics/kfile-reddit-user-trump-tweet/index.html

Poor Friberg having to prepare takes about why his old team is pounding as soon as they get rid of him

See you tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion of NaVi vs C9.

EDIT: Oh thank God, I think everybody just wanted that over with at that point.

Oh, they definitely planned out this bit beforehand - tilting a runner in front of an audience of thousands would be a really shitty thing to do.

I can't tell whether the Mirror's Edge runner getting heckled from the couch through the entire run is only funny because it's 3 am

Arrested Development set a standard I don't think any comedy is going to match in a long time.

Buddy if you know of a 'sensible investing' strategy that makes you 5 or even somehow 10% in a year, you could walk into any bank and get a 100k/yr job easily.

Half the Invite scene is lizard people now, not sure if that counts.

3.5% is the best tastewise, but I tend to consume a ton of milk because of coffee and shakes and stuff, so I went down to 1.5%.

Lemon Meringue, and I like making apple pie just for the lattice crust.

Well I'm glad he went to a respectable journalistic outfit like Infowars. Let's hope he got some radiation stickers out of it, maybe even an anti-flouride shirt.

Order of the Stick and Darths&Droids are very fun. Both are based on tabletop gaming, but never having played any myself, I guess there's something there that will appeal even to outsiders.

Just a general note on improving: You're going to have more success if you break down 'I want to become a better player' into partial goals like 'I want to position myself better', 'I want to take smarter fights', 'I want to be more aware of where my team is and what they're doing' and similar stuff. Then when you go into games, you can focus on one or two of those in particular, which will make it far easier to keep track of how you're doing and eyeball your progress. Over time, those building blocks of good play will crystalize and become a habit, making it easier to improve other aspects of your game.

It really boils down to practice vs deliberate practice - sure, you get better by just playing, but it's not the fastest or most reliable way, even though it's more fun. Deliberate practice can lack the excitement of just going nuts and enjoying yourself; you are the one who has to know whether achieving a higher standard of play is worth doing a bunch of boring exercises.
