Gahfuckit I can't stand blood
It was his own fault, really. Instead of holding his nose below the bridge, he just flailed around shouting at me that he was bleeding, like I'm supposed to do it for him or something. He hates blood too, but for someone who hates it that much I couldn't understand how he hadn't figured out how to stop them by then.

One time at school, this dude was screaming while he was running holding his hand. He'd been playing Bulldogs and some guy tackled him pretty badly, which had bent his hand back onto his arm, the wrong way around. It didn't stay like that once he got up and sprinted to the school office, but for that split-second that it was bent that way, it makes me cringe to think about it.
For one that was a bit bloodier, my brother gets random, really bad nosebleeds. We were staying in London and I woke up to him shouting "I'm bleeding, I'M FUCKIN' BLEEDEN!", and because of the state of panic he set himself, there was blood everywhere, mostly around his face and arms because he kept wiping it off with his hands (looked a bit like a cannibal). He ran to bathroom to get tissue, coughed up this ungodly phlegm-blob of blood that resembled an afterbirth, and passed out.
He was always one to be a dramatic.

I don't know what I would do in such a situation.
I'd at least try the friendlier, less these-little-piggies-went-to-slaughter method first.

Oh btw, to save time fidgeting with mics and what-not:
-Right click the sound button on the windows desktop, select "recording devices"
-Make your mic (whatever it is, inbuilt or your own) the default device
It stops the sound from the game playing over on the mic.

I've been hearing a bit about "Guilty until proven innocent" type laws creeping up in Justice systems with supposedly the opposite ideology.
Honestly it looks like that guy is just getting perma-cockblocked by the law. At least I doubt anybody would willingly sleep with a dude who has to tell the Police when he plans on doinking somebody.
Well it doesn't say he has to tell them that. I mean he can find out names and addresses pretty easily, as can date of birth.One night stands with this order in place are totally out, however. That completely takes the piss, having an order placed without conviction. I thought that's how the justice system isn't supposed to work.

Why does he need those goggles on the top when he has a visor over his face?

 Of course, no one's 100% funny all the time. But Jocephalopod and Cheesy Potato gotta pretty high ratio though.

I don't understand.
I thought most of the mods were, so they wouldn't care about it.
I still fight the good fight. Take them down from within, you know?
Shh, you'll give the game away...

Funny story actually, there's a ton of signless posts around my town, and someone's been going around and putting signs on them complaining about the lack of signs. Very British, just like the time someone put birthday balloons around a work's traffic light a year after it was only supposed to be there "temporarily" while they fixed the road.

Wait... oversleeping can lead to D & A?
But I love sleeping.
um
no
I haven't given the thread a full read through yet, it's been a rather busy day but for this point in particular
Changes in sleep patterns are one of the indications of depression/anxiety, however they would not be considered a cause of it. So you can enjoy your lie-ins without worry, what would be cause for concern is suddenly starting to sleep an awful lot more than usual, or an awful lot less.
Oh. I do both a bit.

Interstellar, Alien (although Resurrection is the runt of the series), BladeRunner. Dredd for notable mention.
The 80's had a chock-full of good ones, only recently are movies going back to it. I guess that by the end they were being done to death just like Zombies now.

Great, just when we thought we've probed the last object in our solar system, another one has to go and get discovered...
But this is welcome news, more things to be interested in in the local area. If it's Neptune sized however, would it have to be a gas planet (or at that distance away from the Sun, a frozen one)?

You speak English good.
Honestly the best thing I can suggest is listen to some UK radio with large vocabulary, shit like BBC Radio 4. Don't have to be interested or even listen too intently, it just helps. Used to do this and listen to RTE Raidió na Gaeltachta when I learned Gaelic when I was young, used to be good at it.
Also, read some Journals. That'll deal with spelling and the crazy amount of posh vocabulary they use that would be used in academic settings.

I'm happy the way mine is, kept similar to the original source of the plates: Can't stop the title aliasing though because the dimensions are too small.

Sharing similar interest and probably the same road that brought them to gaming. Only the opposite sex. Some see it as their only chance to show off their skills where a good life or other, more active interests aren't necessary to get a girl.
TLDR Some people are desperate.

I always thought it was funny that Gears 3 highlighted that the female models weren't OTT in the sexual department...until you realise there must've been some fine print not mentioning Queen Myrrah:
I suppose they balanced it out with the Berserkers, fuck ugly monstrosities that could tear you a new hole, then rip it in half.
Ehhh, she could be a lot worse.
I suppose, but, like, Dem boob armour is like they put two ceramic bowls in her shirt, and then shoved on some hip tassles for...reasons. If anything, it's just sexualising badly.

I reckon it's something to do with the fact that under the new system, only 45% of the loans given out is expected to be paid back
Meanwhile in Finland, people were protesting that non-EU students would have to pay fees for their degree there (the story is old but the best I could find about it - there have been more protests since). Hell, my Finnish roommate was talking about how there were protests about the government scrapping free second degrees after you completed your first one.
Holy fucking entitlements...
That just sounds absurd and non-sustainable.
Well, the income tax is something like 50% there if you fall into the high bracket of wages. Suppose if everyone has lots of degrees you can get a better job and get better pay and pay more taxes, in theory... Loans, grants, scholarships, tax credits, military options.
I could have actually gone to a state school for free AND get extra money from the GI bill, and have been done with a four year degree by now...
But that's not where my interests lay. Traditional education can suck my dick and the FTA/state TA doesn't provide enough for the private tech schools right around here.
How do the loans work? Are they just normal loans or are they somewhat student friendly? i.e. Here the loans aren't repayable until you hit a certain pay threshold (I think it's around £21,000 a year, £8,000 more than minimum wage), but £21,000 is a pretty low number and if you're earning below that, Uni was a waste of time and now you're in debt. For 30 years.

For myself, as I count as a Welsh Citizen (living in Wales for 9 years) so fortunately I have 2/3 subsidised by the Welsh Government, which get it's funding from...England. I will owe £9,000 for the degree, and an extra ~£12,000 through loans to support myself in that time. Totalling £21,000 give-or-take I've got relatively lightly. How it works in Britain is completely ridiculous. Wales and Scotland partially or fully fund their tertiary education programs with the money originally sourced from England by and large (although technically, Wales puts more into the coffers than it gets out, but I digress). Meanwhile, my parents went through different systems with my Dad getting education free in the UK under an EU subsidy because at the time, being Irish classed you as an EU international student (sorta like the Erasmus programs, but don't cost £12k). There isn't even talk about loans to support yourself throughout their study, most could receive bursaries. I reckon it's something to do with the fact that under the new system, only 45% of the loans given out is expected to be paid back (compared to the previous system where it was around 50%, and further back it was just free). Why not scrap the free money they give out to the lower incomes so they can reclaim a "larger 45%" in loans? Granted, I think how the system currently doles out money needs some adjustment, but scrapping them altogether is going to royally fuck up those who already have an uphill struggle. Meanwhile in Finland, people were protesting that non-EU students would have to pay fees for their degree there (the story is old but the best I could find about it - there have been more protests since). Hell, my Finnish roommate was talking about how there were protests about the government scrapping free second degrees after you completed your first one. Spoiler Okay, just about grumped out now.

(At least, there's no mention for Wales. Scotland is devolved enough to be unaffected by this vote) The IndependentThis also applies to English students studying in the next acedemic year rather than just new students, and English Students in Wales (and I assume Scotland), despite the fact that Welsh MP's couldn't vote on the matter because of some "English votes for English things" legislation: Cardiff SU's stance on the matter. So Brits, specifically English, how much debt personally have you got/will have for going to University? Record to beat is £52,000 from my roommate studying History here. Appreciated also would be how US students handle the costs of their tuition at home, as IIRC you don't have a student finance system to soften the blow.
