Every scene where someone wrinkles Troy's brain is great. That man might be the only person who got smarter at Greendale.

The whole ad seems to be a ripoff of a Paul Harvey speech.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_God_Made_a_Farmer

Harvey's wikipedia page describes him as a close friend of Joseph McCarthy, Billy Graham, and J. Edgar Hoover.

Would never of

It's "would never've" or "would never have". Who wasn't paying attention in class?

Hey, at least they don't start them on bagpipes.

Taking the general lesson to the specific application can take training. Not everyone will understand taxes just by reading. Look at how many adults now a days don't understand tax brackets as a good example. Tax brackets are something that is fairly simple to explain and yet we have a good portion of adults who don't understand them and will insist they get less money while getting a raise.

My first sentence isn't bogus, you just happened to understand the general lessons and apply them to the specific application. Other people find that challenging.

Kids should learn about taxes and other important life lessons. However musical studies help kids a lot. It improves memory, hand eye coordination, increases grey matter in their brains, improves fine motor skills…all sorts of benefits come from learning a musical instrument. Plus once they can actually play you’ll have a live in classical jukebox.

Is this vampire lawful good? Or lawful evil?

It’s called DARVO. He learned it from Roy Cohn.

The reality is that Donald Trump — like narcissists and psychopaths everywhere — is a practitioner, a devotee, of DARVO. DARVO refers to behavior by a wrong-doer after they’ve been called out for their misdeed: “Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.” Simply put, it means that once confronted, an abuser will vigorously deny it and claim to be the actual victim. “I know you are, but what am I?!”

She's one of my favorite parts of SNW. When Mariner is a fangirl over meeting her makes me crack up every time.

I used to drive my 2004 Xterra through 2 feet of powder. A good SUV should be able to handle some snow if it has decent clearance under the body.

This post was inspired by a post I was reading yesterday. With Honor mode recently being released I thought it would be nice to have a post compiling tips and tricks that might help you get those coveted golden dice.

Here are five that I use every run:

Priestess Gut I go into her room that she brings you to and then have shadowheart drop a silence on her. She can't shout for help and no one hears her die.

When you first encounter Balthazar fight him where he stands. This fight is much easier here in his original room since you only fight Balthazar, his bruiser, and three medic ghouls. When you go to the Nightsong you just walk up to her with no resistance.

For the Self-Same trial in the Gauntlet of Shar I take my rogue character (pc or origin) and separate them from the party then I unequip all my gear and weapons. Then I activate the self same trial. This makes the trial only have 1 person and he will be naked. Then I put on all my gear and I sneak attack finishing the trial in usually one round but sometimes two.

As you head to the temple of bhaal there is a turn limited fight. I just pop an invisibility onto my rogue and have him sprint to the waypoint invisible and by himself and then teleport everyone else to the waypoint after it activates.

When you are at the brain stem leading to the final fight if you have Gale in your party you can skip the entire final fight. Just send Gale up alone and he will confront the brain by himself leaving everyone else alive. This kills Gale so if he is your husbando you have a tough decision to make.

Anyone else have any good tips to get past some of the tougher fights?

 
 
 

Also wolverine would be the best to RP as a halfling.
