america dint kick the shit out of us. they barely managed to fight us off with the aid of the french, spanish and dutch. you wouldn't dare venture this side of the atlantic with hostile intentions. you'd get your ass kicked harder here than the vietnamese and afgans did combined.

2018-07-05 at 9:16 AM UTC in The Blackout Drunk Shopping ThreadThe kinda shit I buy when blackout drunk doesn't make any sense sometimes. Normally it's just legal drugs like T-PAIN or research chemicals, or maybe a CD or two. This time was different.
I had platinum already
$244.95.
I mean, I like pokemon as much as the next 90s kid but fuck. No wonder my checking account got overdrafted
From what I can gather from the Google searches, it looks like I bought beta sapphire and the 3ds first, then discovered that I could transfer pokemon from platinum to beta sapphire if I bought black. Apparently I decided to get white 2, heart gold and x at the same time. Got one for free though, apparently they had a buy two get one free going on
From the way things are going though it might've actually been a good investment. Older pokemon games are getting to be a bitch to find.
Hopefully I'll actually play them. I've always liked the games and I used to like the show as a kid, but I watched a couple episodes a couple days ago and it's pretty "kiddy" -

Originally posted by HTS the ban is for 9 years, that above picture is photoshopped.
I just want the Ghost ban to be applied to Scrawny the Ghost. It would literally take 2 seconds just change the ban for scrawny the ghost and permaban Ghost. That is too much to ask from him, he doesn't care.
So I don't care either.
No Scron, the toll you're imposing on Lanny is more than what you're admitting to. When you make 2000 accounts and then say "Oh, I just wanted to use this one, this is the only one I cared about, I don't even like Tony Hawk", and then you say the same exact thing about guy puking in a restaurant, and now the same exact thing about scrawny the ghost, you aren't adding up all the patience and tolerance Lanny has actually been showing you for quite some time.
When you posted about your latest account and Lanny said "I don't care lol" it wasn't even that Lanny doesn't like or care about you, I think he's probably having a difficult time forcing himself to cut the ties with a longtime member, Kinda like with infinityshock. Moreso than infinityshock I'd wager. It's more that you've been running him out of patience, and this is the straw that broke the camel's back.
Do you HONESTLY, truly expect him to believe that Scrawny the Ghost is the only account you really care about after pulling all this crap, and that you would have stopped spamming had he just let you keep that account?
No one wants to see you go scron, but what happened was understandable, even for a freedom of speech site such as this, given the circumstances.
Maybe lanny did finally kick your football, Charlie Brown Nigga'. But not before you Lucy'd him 6 times in a row.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-07-04 at 5:38 AM UTC in Hey Sophie and other techs
Originally posted by Madman You made a post saying you had alot of resources for different things and I saw some things about python and I was hoping I could get everything you've got about python. I've worked as a tech before but never learned any programming. I've heard that if you know your stuff you can get a job without a degree, is this true? I don't really know what language to start with but I've heard that python programmers are in demand so that seems like a good of a spot to start as any.
You can get a job without a degree. Historically self-learners have been well respected among programmers and generally considered to be completely capable of competing with degree holders. Often because the norm for a number of years was that degree holders had programming experience before entering college and considered themselves self-learners at heart. There's various stereotypes of scrappy kids teaching themselves to code, being "unpolished" but smart, good and bad but I think it worked in your favor in general if you knew what you were doing.
The advent of "bootcamps", non-accredited and highly condensed programs somewhat reminiscent of trades schools, have muddied the waters somewhat. I think one criticism of the bootcamp phenomenon is that it's made the situation for actual self-taught programmers more difficult since non-degree holders are now split between some official training (with no promises as to quality) in the boot camp case and no official training. Instead of being viewed as a kind of parallel path to professional programming, self-teaching is now the bad end of a spectrum of certification (unfairly, if you ask me).
That said I still think you can make it as a self-taught programmer, you just need a bit more hustle than you used to.If I spent 10-20 hours a week learning do you have any idea how long it would take before I would be able to handle anything an employer could throw at me?
You're never going to be able to put a good timetable on learning. Even in colleges where there's a formal scheduled curriculum there are people who could work as professional programmers their freshman year and people who graduate without being able to really put together a program. 20 hours a week is a lot, 10 hours a week is probably still a lot. I don't think most people can stomach that much of practicing something they're garbage at (and everyone's garbage when they start, naturally). You sometimes hear two years of regular practice tossed around, but no one seems to have any particular evidence for that number. It does seem uncommon to find someone who can go from no experience to being a reasonably competent professional in under a year. It was probably two years for me between starting to program seriously and realistically being able to hold down a job, although I was lucky to have a job I didn't really know how to do where I was allowed to learn as I went.
There's lots of resources for learning to program, which you choose really doesn't matter too much. I do like to plug How to Think Like A Computer Scientist. It's a bit of a difficult pitch to people looking to learn since what you think you want to learn is python. But actually you want to learn programming, and this book will do both for you although its title suggests neither.
The reason I suggest it over the many other excellent introductory resources on Python is because it goes through language constructs a sequence that's "natural" in that they reflect complexity and dependence of ideas within the language. That probably doesn't sound very meaningful, but contrast it with the typical approach where an author sits down and says "I want the reader to be able to do X by the end of the book", they think "they need Y and Z to do X, so we have to include chapters on Y and Z before the chapter on X" and repeat the process for Y and Z until they run out of topics. On the other hand TLACS asks "what's the smallest next thing you can learn exhaustively from what you know right now". The downside is that the very first chapter is a somewhat painful discussion of the expression/statement distinction which is something you typically handwave around until it becomes relevant to do the big X the book is building up to. The upside that you as a reader can go off-script and not get bitten in the ass by previously hand-waved material. There's also the fact that the exercises don't treat the reader like a retard who's terrified of math, which is always a plus.
I think the closest analogue is probably The Little Schemer which is an absolute hidden gem of computer science education which has tragically fallen out of fashion half because no one likes scheme anymore for some reason and half because the socratic method sews the seeds of social upheaval.
Originally posted by esbity The best way to learn Python is to Learn Python the hard way.
Putting the fact that Shaw is an asshole, I think there are some real flaws with LPTHW. The biggest being that it's woefully unambitious, it's not a small resource and the capstone project is a textmode adventure game. Shaw handwaves a bunch of stuff and, at least the last time I looked at it a few years ago, it was downright deceptive in how some of the more subtle language constructs operate. You can tell he's far more comfortable as a C programmer than in Python, which is curious seeing as he decided to write his python book before the C one (I have no idea how LCTHW turned out) -

Hell isn't too bad, Satan is a douchebag,
He runs the place like a cuck who used to get beat by his step-dad.
Apparently he finds tweakers to be annoying, they get under his skin.
Can you believe in Hell, of all places, I'm deprived of this sin.
He'll try to seduce you and pull out a shard filled bag.
It's not real,
but your hope is so strong.
For a sack that size, nothing wrong with some red schlong.
Don't fall for it, it's a trick.
He's got a 3-pronged dick,
and offer up 3 holes quick,
trust me, you don't want him to pick.
He sells you this illusion of a "sack" and knows you'll be back. I repeated this insanity so many times, I lost track.
Every time my shards disappeared under a suspicious circumstance.
He's in on it from the get
tweakers don't have a chance.
He has good heroin though.
EDIT: My dumbass mixed up your and you're. If I wasn't already dead I'd kill myself of embarrassment. At least it was not an error due to ignorance of this basic grammar rule but just a basic full-retard fuckup on my part.
I swear, anytime I see someone make that mistake, I scoff and internally think of how much more intelligent I am than they are and now I feel kinda like an asshole.

Originally posted by aldra probably both
until recently there was no R rating for games so a whole bunch of shit was refused sale because it didn't fit the MA15+ criteria. even now there are a bunch of stupid rules, one of which is the reason why Fallout 3 had to change the name 'Morphine' to 'Med-X'… it's still in the game as a painkiller you shoot and can easily get addicted to, just can't use the magic M word.
I don't think GTA had any issues, I know Manhunt, Carmageddon and Hotline Miami 2 were banned though (first two weren't even good games; the bans did nothing but give them free publicity)
did they censor out the word morphine in mighty morphine power rangers too ???The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-07-01 at 6:18 PM UTC in Wow people can be huge assholes sometimesMaybe you're a rude asshole for going into public places with a potentially contagious infection? Coughing and spitting up phlegm in front of people in a public place, clearly ill, at least, ill enough to not be at work, but not ill enough to be shitposting on a forum at the library spreading around your shit. You're the asshole.
