But a car battery usually comes with the car, even if it sucks.

But computer parts usually come with a computer, even if it sucks.

Pretty sure the SAS has the most intense training out of a lot of special forces groups.

Not sure who has, I always hear about how "this group has the toughest" and "that group has tougher!"

If you get in the beta do you have to use origin to play it?

Yes.  The game will be online-only and requires Origin.

No, not really.

I know things my parents do and they can hide it very very good

Like Walk said, it's pretty hard to hide cig usage.

It's not 1 time only, You can only play a city for 1 hour, Then you start again.

My mistake.  Still dumb though.

Off Topic / Re: Roblox with a six year old

I work at a school doing "aftercare" part time when I'm not in classes.
Aftercare is basically day care during-after school ends where parents can't pick up kids, or simply don't want to until later.
It's a really great job, and I'm trained to work with 3 - 12 year olds. What's really popular between those ages is Roblox (mainly in the older kids 7 - 12). I primarily work with Kindergarten (5 - 6 year olds) who are discovering roblox, and liking it.
When I had one kid lef (6 yr) t, he was playing Roblox and asked me to play with him on some star wars server, there was a computer next to him - so I said sure.
It was fun.

That's great!  I took up volunteering at the public middle school across the street from my high school, and it's pretty nice.  I help kids with homework on Tuesdays and work with theater kids on Thursdays.  The kids are always a bit shy at first but then they kinda just open up.

Drama / Re: Tonkka you can come be an insensitive handicap here

« on: January 18, 2013, 07:27:27 PM »

I don't really think Tonkka did anything wrong.
First of all it's clear that if you dont want negative responses, don't go on an internet forum where everyone basically is the definition of negative. It was inevitable that someone does not share the same opinion on how most people should react to the death of someone who was cared for.
Second of all he didnt directly disrespect Kitton, and he made some valid points. Of course I know Kitton is upset and hurt by this event, but some people do not see death the same way other people see it. People deal with it differently. It was a little rude to continually call him an starfish after he made it clear he was not trying to "flame" anyone, he was just giving his opinion. That's perfectly okay. Everyone should feel free to share their opinion without being critisized, and if you disagree then that would make you slighty hypocritical  because here and in that thread you shared your opinion and he critisized you back.
Anyway the point is that I don't think he meant much harm and it did seem slightly dramatic the way Kitton worded it. I'm sorry for your loss Kitton, hopefully he is in a very happy place now.

Ok you're telling me that absolute fury is not an appropriate reaction from someone who has lost a close friend after being insulted by some random loser?

Personally if one of my close friends died and someone disrespected their memory, I'd let loose all hell on them.

The "beta" / 1 hour demo is a waste of time.  Yes, it's one hour only.  EA will give you only one hour to play for this demo.  It's not a beta.  They're pretty much just ironing out last bugs.

My fave part was when OP quoted Tonkka saying "take this to drama", and yet the first post is "maybe this should have been a PM".

I feel like this is disrespectful as the West Boro Baptist thing. Instead of saying these kids deserved to die it's saying that none of these kids died and the parents are all liars.

Yes, that's exactly what the theories are saying.  I'm glad you've completely and fully read all the materials.

Eee, I have to intervene.  It's a private, relatively well funded christian school.  They have cameras.  However, you do not release camera footage of 5-7 year olds being shot to try and calm the nerves of some rowdy conspiracy theorists.  You're not getting the whole story behind some child's life?  Boo hoo, this doesn't mean it's a conspiracy, it just means some info, god forbid, is private.

Video was released from plenty of other school shooting surveillance footage, i.e. Columbine.

How many small children and elementary school teachers do you see holding camcorders while they are teaching?

What schools do not have cameras?

Just do it all over again.

Then, every other project you do will seem 2x easier and you'll have some sweet bragging rights once you graduate with a 4.0 GPA Magna Cum Laude.

Brainwashing me into saying i want to live with mom when child protective services came
Threats if i didn't say i want to live with her (Not spanking this time, seriously)

This is actually a problem and you need to tell your father and make sure child services are aware.
