Off Topic / Pics From My Visit To Palestine/Jordan (Warning: Tons of Pics)

« on: August 06, 2014, 11:30:11 PM »

I've been overseas all summer and got back a few days ago and just wanted to share some of the pictures I took while I was there. It was really fun and enlightening. Sorry about all of the pictures. I have more inside of Israel if anyone wants to see them. If you have any questions, then ask away.

Off Topic / What Makes This Stuff Funny to so Many People?

« on: July 22, 2014, 07:08:06 AM »

Videos that have no explanation and seem to be made with the intent of being as randomly weird and creepy as possible. Instead of being legitimately funny, these videos bring about a WTF kind of humor, where you laugh just because you have no idea what to make of what you are watching. I have to admit I laugh at some of these videos, I just seriously don't get why. I also often come back to rewatch them for no reason at all. WHY

Off Topic / Going to Jordan and Palestine tomorrow

« on: May 24, 2014, 06:16:39 PM »

I leave for New York tomorrow morning, and I am absolutely ecstatic. I am planning on staying the entire summer as well. Hopefully, I will get to go to all of the main sites, such as the red sea, Jerusalem, the Petra, Roman ruins, etc. Honestly the one thing I am most excited for is the FOOD. I WILL FEAST.

Has anyone ever been there or close to the region? The Mediterranean is the best!

Off Topic / Pterodactyl attacks Arizona State campus

So this happened at my college a few days ago. Here at ASU we have a bunch of Christian nut jobs who preach hate speech and call on random girls walking by for being sluts and that they are going to hell. So this kid goes crazy and attacks the preacher LMAO. What's funny is the guys sign wasn't even that offensive compared to some of the stuff I have seen here hah.

Koreans, a Russian, and several other people are making videos about blockland. It's really funny to watch them figuring everything out.

Off Topic / Does anyone have any thoughts about the news in Egypt?

« on: July 04, 2013, 03:18:26 PM »

The democratically elected President was overthrown yesterday after he had been president for about a year. I don't care if people liked him or not, a military coup is wrong. What is driving me crazy is how people are reacting like this is a good thing. The opposition had many chances to take Morsi out in Parliamentary elections and other past events. They are arresting leaders of this Muslim brotherhood and have shut down some Islamist channels as well as Al Jazeera. To me, this is not democracy at all. The old regime is back.

A death animation that shows you melting into a plastic puddle on death. Kinda like when you shoot someone with a plasma weapon in fallout.

So i passed, which was awesome since it was my first time. I've been putting it off for a while but just decided to do it. I almost hit the cones with parallel parking though. Does anyone have crazy driver test stories?
