IUD I really hope not. I'd much rather take a pill than get something surgically implanted somewhere.

Now some pharmaceutical company just needs to release male birth control pills.

The only reason why she doesn't want to date me aside from feeling that I'm better then her, is that I'm a few months younger (and yes, it is that stupid.) But it's not like she doesn't want to, she says and openly talks about how I make her happy and how I would be an amazing boyfriend, she just can't get over that fact. It's weird. This is code for "I don't like you for very much outside of sexual thrill". Right now you're an emotional dildo to her. Don't be an emotional dildo.

So here's the dealio:
I just got engaged; been dating this girl for over five years. Just before I met this girl, there was another girl I was really into but didn't have the balls to ask out, even though I knew she'd say yes. Ended up following similar career paths and I'd see her almost daily, and the conflict of still feeling attracted to someone (and not just physical attraction) while being in a committed relationship is really hard.
Just let her go. End your contact with her. She's poison to your soul, and you should move on.

Everyone hear is under the impression that because I have money I'm not allowed to not be happy.
Literally no one thinks that.
Read what everyone is saying. Somehow me having money somehow dictates everything I do and my demeanor.
It sounds like a lot of people are claiming that because you have so much money that you should be happy. I'm not drowning in tears of sympathy for the unhappiness of someone whose car costs more than my college education, but my recommendation is to get involved in your community somehow. If you're religious, try volunteering at your church. Find a social group to become a part of. Find value outside of the typical rat race of work and school.

I respect them both as leaders in their field, but I find them both extremely abrasive in their own ways and don't like the cult of personality they've engendered. Specifically, The God Delusion was a poorly researched and shallow hissy-fit of a book.
Hitchens is pretty objectively a more-skilled debater than Dawkins.

How does it feel in terms of repetitiveness? Assassin's Creed tends to be very repetitive in its mission style, though the settings add diversity. I was getting the vibe that it would have a few types of missions that would be used over and over.
How long do you see yourself continuing to play this game?

There's no need, and it's a logistical nightmare.
You'd end up keeping inflation rates, exchange rates, commodity values, etc., so basically all you'd have is a universal currency in appearance alone. You can make a standard set of bills and coins, but you'll never make them equal everywhere.

Damn gurl, is that in Glendale?
Nope, it's actually on Mill Ave. In one of the alleys there's a gazebo that we decorated with just some lights and candles.

Any non-imgur pics? My computer hates imgur and won't show any pictures linked to it.
Sure, I just host them there to get rid of EXIF data from Facebook. Give me a sec, I'll edit this post. In order:

Do not make it to pompous and keep it sentimental. Her characteristics i am not sure but sometimes doing too much will make it cringeworthy.
Maybe something private maybe at your place, something special or on a lake at night or make the snow a part of the setting for when you propose, if it snows soon enough.
We're in AZ so it definitely won't snow. It's still in the 90s here. It's going to be small and private, the gazebo is hidden behind some shops and is really low-traffic.
Perfect.
Does she know?
We're already planning the wedding, but so far this is a surprise.
Hmm setting it up and all i bet she is expecting it, but how to come from the left field and surprise her will be the trick.
Yeah, that's the problem. I've been trying to propose for almost a week now, but nothing will surprise her. If I invite her to a nice dinner, it's obvious. Walk around the lake? Obvious. We meet with friends every monday night and this gazebo is one of our spots. We're setting it up like we're meeting there like normal, but my friends will get there early to decorate a bit and we'll come in a bit later. I think it'll work.

I think the Tower fails as its fundamental goal of being a social hub. The lack of clan or chat support means it's just a menu interface you can walk through, and the loading times required to get from the gameplay to the Tower and back is inexcusable in that role.
I'd really enjoy a "simulation" area where you can check out the multiplayer maps, test out weapons (especially rare weapons you can buy from vendors), and try out various combinations of skills. It'd also be cool to have shooting galleries and clan instances. Another thing I'd like to see is a lore hub, where you can view grimoire cards in a coherent narrative, rather than little paragraphs on B.Net; narration over concept art explaining various locations and characters would be perfect. Overall it just needs to be far more interactive than it is.
Also, ships need to be more than loading screens. TOR finally figured it out, but even something as simple as a Starfox/Rebel Assault-style mission setup would be great.

How do you feel. . .

Hey, that's cool man. I mean, that was pretty quick, but it's cool.

Mr. and Ms. Turkey, circa 2009:  Mr and Ms. Turkey, Fall 2013:  The ring: Heart-shaped .41 kt diamond in white gold (moderate visibility, low inclusion):  Sorry for potato quality on the ring picture, but you get the jist. It's going down in a gazebo we used to go to all the time, friends will be there and they'll have candles and decoration. Shit's getting real, Sep7. We're planning on December, a few days after I commission into the Navy and graduate college. Any advice would be great, but I really just wanted to share this with people.

I'm done with Destiny. Only 5 missions for each DLC?
I'm DONE.
Don't forget, you get to replay them dozens of times to hopefully get a shot at a single piece of equipment to raise your level, allowing you to access higher difficulty versions of the same missions in the hopes of getting another piece of equipment to let you play EVEN HIGHER levels of the same stuff!

Unity sounds fun in the sense that they're bringing back a lot of stealth and assassination, supposedly. But it's also got this weird RPG feel that I'm not super happy about.

On one hand, I'd be very disappointed if this was content that is complete, but was removed from the game for purpose of selling later. On the other, if this was just incomplete work that they put on to finish post-launch, I don't mind it so much. I'm sure they'd prefer to have as much on the disk as possible since adding content always causes trouble.

I'm pretty active in a couple churches and really disagree with the idea that fundamentalism is growing — in fact, I'd assert the opposite. You see a ton of compromise and watering-down of doctrine in modern churches.

I'd be interested to know in what cultures they eat their neighbours. Seems like casuistry, to me. Yeah, it was a punchline, more or less. The overarching point is that feelings aren't a sound basis for a standard of morality because of how non-standard feelings are.

The point is, I can identify that which is socially undesirable without needing a divine superintendent. Seems like you're on a bit of a Bertrand Russell kick lately, so I like seeing you post this. Here's an excerpt of a speech from a favorite speaker of mine, Ravi Zacharias: Let me narrate an interaction I had with a student at the University of Nottingham in England. As soon as I finished one of my lectures, he shot up from his seat and blurted out rather angrily, "There is too much evil in this world; therefore, there cannot be a God." I asked him to remain standing and answer a few questions for me. I said, "If there is such a thing as evil, aren't you assuming there is such a thing as good?" He paused, reflected, and said, "I guess so." "If there is such a thing as good," I countered, you must affirm a moral law on the basis of which to differentiate between good and evil."
I reminded him of the debate between the philosopher Frederick Copleston and the atheist Bertrand Russell. At one point in the debate, Copleston said, "Mr. Russell, you do believe in good and bad, don't you?" Russell answered, "Yes I do." "How do you differentiate between them?" challenged Copleston. Russell shrugged his shoulders as he was wont to do in philosophical dead ends for him and said, "The same way I differentiate between yellow and blue." Copleston graciously responded and said, "But Mr. Russell, you differentiate between yellow and blue by seeing, don't you? How do you differentiate between good and bad?" Russell, with all of his genius still within reach, gave the most vapid answer he could have given: "On the basis of feeling-what else?" I must confess, Mr. Copleston was a kindlier gentleman than many others. The appropriate "logical kill" for the moment would have been, Mr. Russell, in some cultures they love their neighbors; in others they eat them, both on the basis of feeling. Do you have any preference?"
