Buy a 2014 Ford Focus ST and just send it to me when you're out of college.  ;)

I'm a senior in highschool ;)
Wait. Really? I thought you were like, doing your masters or something.

How the fuck do you have two supercars before you're 20?

It's shitty, but I totally understand where they're coming from. Either park somewhere else or buy a beater to drive to school.

I had plans to buy a 3rd car for school, a cheap one. I guess I'll have to actually do it now
This is precisely why I don't understand having a supercar as a daily driver...

Comes with the territory, I suppose.

ITT: not classical composers. John Williams and Marty O'Donnell are not classical composers.
What did you expect from a bunch of nerds?
I would expect nerds to know that "piano and strings" music =/= classical

It's as if educating people actually helps or something.

Teens who were educated about methods of birth control and who received free contraception were significantly less likely to get pregnant or to get an abortion compared to other sexually active teens, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Nearly three-quarters of the 1,404 teens who took part in the Contraceptive CHOICE Project chose intrauterine devices, or IUDs, which are small devices placed in the uterus to interrupt the process of insemination, or contraceptive implants, which are small plastic rods inserted into the arm that continuously release a synthetic hormone called progestin to prevent pregnancy. Health workers in the project promoted these forms of contraception since they are long-acting, providing protection for up to 10 years.

The Flood / Re: Guitar Help needed
« on: October 01, 2014, 09:44:31 PM »
Thanks, will try using the chords. Never really understood it but i remember using tabs while having a couple lessons, and kind of got the hang off it, with songs like seven nation army, were going to be friends etc.
It all depends on the voicing of the guitar part. A song like Seven Nation Army is really easy to learn and you don't really need to know anything but powerchords. The melody is a single-note line on the same string. It's tough to go from that to an acoustic song because what you learned playing a single note at a time doesn't transfer to playing chords or arpeggios.

okay i have no idea what i am doing.
First thing i have no idea how to read chord tabs and how to space them and play them. Example:
Follow you into the Dark Chord
I prefer these chord charts. If you hover your mouse over the chord name, it shows you the fingering.

I would begin by simply learning the chord shapes and memorizing how Dm to F feels, and F to Bb feels, etc. Then string them together. After you can strum the chords, then you can arpeggiate them.

What I notice about UG is often the chord names aren't above the correct word in the lyrics where the chords change in the song. Play along with the song to get it right.

I think praying before, during, after a play/game is dumb. It undermines years and years of work you, your teammates, and your coaches put into your skills. God didn't help you, your skills and practice did. Your team did. Your coach did.

I'm not sure what linking to the definition of humble is supposed to mean as a response.
Think about it.

Instead of being an ass, how about you explain it?

How is thanking your teammates and coaches for your successes not humble?

He's allowing Destiny posts in Gaming. Oh wait I forgot you're a desticle.
Destiny is a game, so Destiny threads can certainly go in #­gaming
If Destiny didn't have its own section, this would be true. But since #destiny exists, all Destiny-related discussion [aside from clans and feedback, which ALSO have their own section] belongs in #destiny.
Well, that is not up to you. It is up to the Bungie webteam and the moderators there. Obviously if they say they are fine in #­gaming, then they are fine in #­gaming.
They're backpedaling on it because they realize what a shitstorm they're in and there's no way to fix it. Before the release, all Destiny threads went in #destiny. Full stop.
Shitstorm? Why would they allow destiny threads to clog up the #­gaming section when there's already a whole forum devoted to the game?
The shitstorm they find themselves in is because they haven't enforced the rules of where threads belong. it used to be fine until the release. The whole thing snowballed into what we see now where Destiny threads make up entire pages of #community and #­gaming.
Lol DeeG. Does Bungie even care about the state of the online community and the website? Or is customer satisfaction just no longer an issue?
They've made it clear they don't give a single fuck.
