The fact that lately it's almost impossible to find a decent L4D2 match, because 99% of the people playing it nowadays are complete noobs who don't even listen to you when you explain how the game works.

I don't think the Taliban is prominent in India, or even controls any portions of it like they do in Pakistan and Afghanistan. I do agree that Pakistan did have a bad time, the terrorists don't want children to learn because they know knowledge and literacy is power. But anyways poor Pakistan.
The Taliban wouldn't be prominent in in India at all, because India is primarily Hindu, whereas Pakistan is primarily Muslim. That's the whole reason the two countries split from each other in the first place. Hell, the only time I've eve heard of those two getting along is The Sepoy Rebellion.

True. :)

I am annoyed by the one-sided behavior and reaction of the Pakistani Muslim mothers against India. It's as if we are terrorists who attack and bully Muslims. Hell no, you don't allow Hinduism but we do allow Islam. >:( Rants aside, I think that Pakistani Muslims are nothing like Indian Muslims. The Indian Muslims are much more Kinder, comfortable to talk to, and friendly. There is one friend of mine named Kazi Aatish Imroz, and he even pandal-hopped with us Hindu friends during the Durga Pujas.

I don't quite get all these differences. :/

I'm not slow! That's just my moe!

the new PC:E update annoys me

-performance is WORSE
-still no ability to turn off shadows
-drops are still bullshit
-missing textures are back and worse than before
-the stupid thing where the pterosaur drops slowly to the ground while getting shot to death after it barely clips an object is back
-pounce is actually broken this time
-chat is invisible
-voice chat is still broken
-many settings still don't have a low only high or medium


yah I know we have have a WAYAP but I figured I'd add this here while I'm at it

when people say they require "direct fossil evidence of each individual species to believe it had feathers", tyrannosaurs I suppose I can understand, but these are people claiming that velociraptor and utahraptor should not be shown feathered and that its incorrect to do so

Well, looking at science just because something is very closely related doesn't mean they all look similar or whatnot, I mean science loves to point out how closely related in DNA we are to the great apes, but well...our outside covering looks nothing like theirs, neither would likely have their hair fossilized were something to happen to us all.

That's because we have had reasons to change our "cover". Which is something we don't see happening with some extinct animals.

But maybe it's better t ostop here before we stray offtopic.

Plus we're a very unusual case. Most animals don't have such drastic changes in integument between such closely related genera.

What has really changed to make us lose all of our hair though? If you say "clothes" then I would have thought that we made clothes because we did lose the hair, if we hadn't, we wouldn't need clothes.

I wasn't trying to start an argument, and yes we are an unusual case but that was my point, everything points to them being feathered, of course. But it is still just speculation (just so incredibly likely that it can be considered fact for all dromeosaurs).

I think the evolution of lice were also another reason for losing our hair, but in any case we should probably save this for the WAYAP topic. :)

I don't know much about human evolution, but maybe our hairlessness is related to our retention of neotenous traits?

Anyway - when I'm at stores with my mom and she sees someone she knows and then sits there talking for 25 minutes xD

This is why I never go to do the shopping or other chores with relatives, friends and whatnot. When I'm alone, I keep my own pace. Accompanying humans are more than likely to be a distraction and cause of delay. :P

My mother has become friends with a late 20 year old Pakistani woman that works at a local grocery store. She only moved to America a few years ago and honestly, she's one of the nicest people I've ever met. I totally get where you're coming from, and I know how frustrating it can be, but I don't think you should let the words of one woman represent an entire people group. Perhaps you're not as different as you think.

The flu. The flu sucks. Luckily, I should be better by tomorrow (Christmas.) Also, Ludington, Michigan has no snow for Christmas. :(
