P2W games are pure cancer, and I try to stay away from season pass games because I usually don't end up getting any of the DLC.

Anything else is more dislikes/likes about gameplay or story.

Which part are you on? Part 4?

If you're on Part 1, it's usually considered to be one of the worst ones (anime and manga). Shortest too, though, so you won't have to wait long to get to the glory that is Battle Tendency.

Given that the only problem he had with my driving that wasn't caused directly by him was solved two minutes after the exam, yeah, it was some stupid. Nothing he failed me for warranted me waiting months and paying another $15 to retake it.
Why don't I believe this?

This level of confidence seems unhealthy. No one should be so confident about their own driving skills.

And the next proctor who tested me passed me with a near perfect score because she 1) didn't practically shout instructions and 2) I (as previously stated) fixed the one and only actual issue I had prior to the first exam. He could have passed me and I still would have fixed it, because why wouldn't I?
That's great. I'm glad you fixed the issue in a testing environment.

I'm just saying, chances are, it was for your own good.
He counted me off for coasting into a stop (his intructions).
He counted me off for janky turning (fixed in two minutes).
He counted me off for launching from a stop too soon (untrue, when I started driving I always counted to 3 in my head before moving from the stop sign).
I never changed lanes, I always stayed in the far right. I didn't roll any stop signs. I didn't speed; hell, I went 25 in a 30. And my parking, while "sloppy", was within the confines of the parking space.

It was one of the single most bullshit moments of my life that I can think of.

I always come to a complete stop, I always check my blind spot. Only speed if it's a familiar road, and even then only if it isn't residential and I stick to 5 over unless the speed of traffic is something else.

I mathematically passed but he failed me anyways. Imagine getting a C in a class, but the teacher says "I'm going to fail you anyway, that way you'll learn the material better." That's what happened.
So you do speed. There's nothing wrong with that--I mean, there is, and context doesn't matter--but it is something you do.

And yeah, if it were some fuck-off class I only took to fulfill some requirement, I'd be pissed. Sure. But driving is a little bit more important than that, though. It's probably the most important test you'll ever take, actually. If I mathematically passed, but my teacher still wasn't fully confident in my performance and said he was going to fail me instead, I'd be 100% absolutely okay with that.

Why wouldn't I be? I'd be more concerned if he passed me while I made mistakes. I'd have him test me again until I'm satisfied.

I definitely didn't roll stops lol, I sat at one sign for nearly a minute because I was so nervous about cutting someone off while I was taking the test.

It was literally two things that he failed me over: not stopping early enough at a red light (was still able to stop without slamming on my breaks and I only did it because he TOLD me to coast into the stop) and he didn't like how I steered. The first was an issue of me being nervous and him not helping by loudly declaring what I'm doing wrong while simultaneously telling me the wrong thing to do, the second I learned in less than two minutes after the test.

I had to wait an extra three months and pay more money to finally get my license. It was some bullshit that I passed (by his own admission) but he failed me anyway because he thought it would be a learning experience.
I'm talking now, though. I highly doubt you don't roll stops or speed here and there, now that you've actually had your license for how many years? Probably five? There's 14 things you're supposed to do before you even begin driving--most people cut it down to 3 or 4 because they don't give a shit they just want to get going.

Anyway, my point is that you probably don't drive perfectly, and my whole thing is that everyone should drive like a flawless robot--and anything less is bad driving. So it should come to 0 shock that your skills would be reflected in the score of your driving test, even if your proctor is a dumbass.

But now I'm confused. Now you're saying it was some bullshit that you mathematically passed--but in your first post, weren't you complaining that he decided to fail you instead? You called him an asshat and everything.

First driver's test I passed with like a 78/100, but the proctor failed me anyway because he thought I would work harder to improve
given the number of mishaps you've had on the road since then, was he wrong
One accident was legit my fault, and if you want to count dinging my own car while backing up at 5mph, two. Everything else was out of my hands.
Well, there's accidents, and then there's smaller errors that, while perhaps not immediately life-threatening, still would've resulted in a failure of a driving test--things 99% of drivers do. Rolling stops. Speeding (going 5 over counts).

What an asshat, especially since it takes 5 ever to schedule and it's not free. I wasn't even driving my own car, and he would do shit like say "let off the gas and just coast into the stop" and he would then mark me off for not breaking through it like wtf

I'm glad arcade mode doesn't have the 1 hero limit. Sometimes I just need my fun.

Why is the hero limit in pubs even a thing? It's not Ranked, so who gives a shit? If my friends and I want to dick around as a full Mercy team why shouldn't we?
Because most people use it as a warm up or a less stressful version of ranked, and a lot of people trying to win complained about losing because three people on their team decided to run Hanzo

Option's still there, it's just a different gamemode now

My booty used to be really big IDK what happened to it.
100 consecutive squats held for five seconds done every other day

They'll be calling you Big Booty again in no time
Ehh, no, higher mass for ass.

The rule is: 4-5 reps for strength, 8-12 for hypertrophy, and more for endurance and definition

Trump has potential to be the best president since Reagan. Why wouldn't you support him?
That's not a good comparison. Reagan was a shit president who made the GOP into the shit hole we all knew and loved until Trump finally broke it down and turned it into a workers party.
He could have been much worse, thank lucky stars he had the humility to work on the advice of economists when it came to economics.

I'm in the process of ordering it. Reaching the point of no return soon.
If you want it then get it, I'd just recommend getting it at a lower price in a week or two.

My squat is pretty bad for my weight, one of my main priorities this year has been getting it up to a point where I'm actually proud of it.
My intial test run was ~60 consecutive squats

Also ran a 9:15 today, feels good since my benchmark a few months ago was a 15

Gonna try this tbh.

What's the idea? 200 a day?

You. Fucking. Normie

What's your goal? Do you stretch afterwards? Do you warm up before doing squats? Do you use correct form? Do you also do abs?
200 consecutive squats, then to repeat with more advanced techniques
Dynamic stretches, of course
No duh
Ofc

Standard squats are piss easy. Weighted squats are the real challenge.
High reps low intensity > low reps high intensity

High reps high intensity >
If you can do high reps then "high intensity" is only relative to weaklings

Rack more weight if you want to show off
