He's done it. Federer takes the championship.

Holy fuck, that was amazing. Greatest fucking player of all time, no doubt about it.

What was the score, I missed it?

6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.

He's done it. Federer takes the championship.

Holy fuck, that was amazing. Greatest fucking player of all time, no doubt about it.

Fucking hell, these developments are legitimately disgusting.

Ronin is fun as hell to play, but not a fan of the sword core. The fact that you continue taking tremendous amounts of damage from everything and that you can't execute titans while using it is pretty lame. A decent bulky titan will melt your puny 3 bars of health and then just execute you as you're wailing on them in sword core.

Ridiculous. People have the right to consume whatever the fuck they want. It's THEIR fucking body.

Now the government can tell me how much I'm allowed to drink? Fuck off.

The government is telling no one how much they can or cannot drink. The law applies to the providers (restaurants, bars) only. Nothing is stopping anyone from buying as many drinks as they want. Just because restaurants just can't offer cups with unlimited soda refills anymore doesn't mean you can't buy 3 different cups and chug as much soda as you want.

>hey guys, think we should move?
>nah, we're good right up here with all 5 of us huddled together

I really hope Fed beats Nadal.

Also i havent kept up with tennis in a while. who did my boy, Novak, lose to?

Djoker lost to Istomin very early on in the tournament.

Can't dodge the Rog.

Nadal up two sets to one. 

"men are more beautiful than women (no homo)"
"I want to touch men's muscles"
"why can't women be more like men"
"I think Chad likes me"
"all too easy, got a date tomorrow"
"accidentally touched balls while having sex with Chad (no homo), but is it homo?"

This is how I predict this saga of threads to evolve.

I don't know what I could tell you that people (myself included) haven't said a dozen times before.

- It's the internet. Don't take it too seriously. Everyone messes with everyone. People take the piss out of one another all the time. Shrug it off, go along with it but don't take it too seriously either way. People fuck with each other for the food/music/games/movies they like, for their political beliefs, for the country/state they live and for dumb shit they said months ago. And it's all just banter. Except for when it comes to the weebs because they're legitimately messed up in the head. So don't get offended or upset over it on the one hand, and don't embrace it too much and make it a persona on the other.

- Don't overreact. If you feel like people mess with you more, it's because you give them the reaction they want. They want to get under your skin and you getting mad, leaving sites or making threads and comments showing that you're bothered by some trolling only makes you more of a target. I get shit for MLP stuff. Verb gets shit for his anti-natalism and views on things like mods. Weebs get shit for liking anime. Challenger gets shit for being an Iranian who wears turbans and doesn't like tennis. And so on and so forth. The reason it's slightly different with you is because of you how you react. Anyone of the others would've faced the same thing had they responded to trolling not by quipping back or taking it lightly, but instead went on to attack others, start a fiery defense of themselves, leave and come back, or make threads like this one. The reason people keep messing with you is because you give them pretty much exactly what they want. You're playing the victim card very often when this really happens to us all, but your reactions just make them do it more.

- Don't do what Velox already warned you about. You put out a controversial and unpopular statement, refuse to explain yourself, open yourself up to criticism and then respond posting memes and saying you "triggered" the other people. It's a forum. The point is to talk and debate. If you don't want that, then don't go posting things you know are controversial without backing anything up and then get upset when people call you out for being wrong or trying to spite them.

- Don't try to get in fights, bait or piss people off. This ties together with the above. You take things very seriously, are pretty easily frustrated and tend to take things personally. If you start dishing out, people here with hit back and it'll get to you a lot more than it gets to them. And us mods can't really help. We take action against serious harassment, doxing, really personal attacks and threats. We're not here to stop people from making clear jokes like "try euthanasia".

- Again, it's the internet. People poke fun and mess around. It's how it is and it's nothing bad or too serious. People really don't have a grudge against you, and if one or two do it's because the Skype and spoilers thing. You're fine.

I hope you'll try to take my advice this time. It's the best I can do.

The idea came from a conservative blogpost on how the GOP could get Mexico to pay for it. The fact that Paul Ryan has not acknowledged any specifics on the spending leads people to speculate that there is no plan for Mexico to recoup us the cost.

Isn't the idea to get it started with US funds and then recoup the costs from mexico via outgoing transactions (I forget the term you guys use for it) and the aid budget, if they won't pay up?

Yeah, it's retarded either way.

- Build wall using taxpayer money.
- Mexico, please pay for wall.
- Mexico: no.
- Well, uh, then we'll recoup the costs by, uh, retracting it from other things we do with you.

Completely forgetting the fact that they could've recouped those costs regardless of building the wall meaning that they ultimately still end up carrying the real costs.

Suprised he's in the final after being out injured, hopefully he wins since he'll probably retire soon.

It'll be a sad day for the world. I really hope he wins this so, if he does decide to retire, he can do it like this. Beating his old rival in a grand slam final.

I was reluctant to discuss this here but Challenger requested this thread so I eventually gave in.

So the Australian Open tennis grand slam is coming to a close and we might be looking at an amazing final. Djokovic suffered a very surprising loss early on and Murray got Brexited out of the tournament by a German who wasn't even in the top 50 because that's what happens when you turn your back on the EU.

Today, Federer beat his friend Wawrinka in a great 5 set game and secured himself a spot in the finals. We'll find out who he has to face tomorrow, as Nadal takes on Dimitrov, who got lucky earlier and somehow managed to cheat himself past Goffin (the Belgian player). In other words, we might see a revival of the great Federer v. Nadal rivalry that dominated tennis for 6 years. Exciting times ahead.

Can anyone explain to me what lonepaul did?

He finger banged a 15 year old who worked in a chippy. Posted about it on bnet and got lynched

It's interesting how many iterations this story has gone through

You mean he didn't just do it right then and there with 6 young women in the middle of a restaurant while his mom and David Cameron were watching?

This is bad, bad bait.
