Asked my bud who works at their local distribution warehouse they have em in Chicago and the surrounding Chicagoan area, more than likely your area's driver who has the route/stores around your house wasn't selling enough of them so he stopped getting them since they have re-compensate stales.

I'm not exactly knowledgeable with the whole stack and pull mechanics, but can't radiant still just pull into their small camp and after that if the wave isn't dead pull into the camp behind it? I mean i understand the xp share with neutral creeps is a large change, but for the most part when you soaked up xp from an enemies pull the xp from the actual creep wave was the main priority right?

I mean i guess that the off laners now can end up with a bit more xp than normal, but doesn't a safe lane stacking and pulling still accomplish equilibrium near the safe lanes tower, or flat out free farm? I mean supports might be a bit more xp starved, but in the end a lot of their xp is from killing higher level'd people. Plus from games i've spectated with actual good teams in them, supports a lot of the time end up roaming in the laning stage setting up ganks and such.

Shit i live in chicago and i didn't even know the mid west is apparently based out of here . That's crazy, and pretty convenient i might have to go to one of these in the next few weeks.

EDIT: lol i'm dumb as hell on the smash boards just listed in events there are like 2-3 events just within the next five days right around chicago

I've been to a few melee events and shit, it's cool but it doesn't seem to be that active in the midwest, is there shit that goes on in the midwest anymore(is FC in indiana still around even?)

I know that you are by no means writing off his depression, and that you are just trying to be helpful. But we(both me and you) have no clue what his depression is about, if he's depressed simply because he hates how the world is, than going out and doing menial things will help no more than playing video games. Hell even friends aren't really that helpful.

I have a friend who was in Afghanistan for 2(i think it was two maybe it was three) tours and after his second one, for whatever reason he had come to hate how unfair the world is and how wasteful and shallow the majority America is. And he began to just kind of hate the world in general for how shitty it was. I mean how does a friend comfort that shit, nobody can suddenly make the world a better place. I haven't talked to him in a few weeks now(he's just traveling a lot and I think he is going to do another tour) but i'm sure he's still depressed and will probably remain so. And psychiatric help didn't really have an answer for how he could overcome it.

I think there's just some depressions that can't really be surpassed, and instead you just kind of live on with them, which sucks but it is what it is.

it says there's no helpless phase in the air, which seems really strange. How would that even work within a combo'ing system or is comboing just less possible. And in melee if you did like the old powershield into upsmash followed by a dair, it would render the person into a "helpless" state while sending them flying off the screen. It wasn't a knock out in the sense that, there was no possible way to come back, but odds were that the helpless stage(which increased as you got damage more) would of been so long that you would need frame perfect reactions to get back onto the stage.

idk though it looks pretty cool.

Steroids are the fastest way to overcome any plateau.

Now remove the link of the pictures...

The LoL's community in general is pretty nutty, people have threatened suicide for being banned from the game people have dropped out of college to play it--the "pro" players that make a living off of it is somewhat understandable, but there are people who dropped out, only to realize they are actually bad at the game--the pro players make shit that's almost like the(old?) reality show the real world.

EDIT: that video about his justification of it all is really interesting, it's strange to think some people's minds can actually be that skewed.

hmmm when is it?

Most likely he's stalling while both parties draw in their support and see where everything stands. I know we(U.S. citizens) tend to imagine each representative as a kind of like individual political entity, but nowadays they are all like a strange collaboration of party, lobby, and voter interests. And i'd have to imagine for 435 people to consult with all their interest parties and come to a decision could take a while.

And they might be playing funding politics and the republicans could probably take a few votes if they apply enough pressure.

-the economy is pretty bad, but it's still better than a lot of countries(poor Greece)
-Please don't complain about our QoL, it's decline generally just means us purchasing less shit we don't need, and eating out less.
-defense budgeting is shit
-to be fair at least it's available to most people in some form or another, a lot of countries simply don't give their average students a chance at higher education.

honestly the education thing is something i sort of agree with you on. I think we should adopt stricter entrance requirements(like top 20 or 25%) and also have less jobs that require degrees. A good example would be underwriters at blue cross blue shield, which usually requires some degree in like finance, accounting etc.. when really someone who is semi intelligent could probably pick it up with a high school degree and a few weeks of training course. But for whatever reason would never be given a shot simply because they do not have a degree.

He doesn't appear to of done his research all that well, and honestly it's kind of absurd for him to claim he has, the Affordable health care act is roughly 1,500 pages of poorly written legislation. And it is far too complex for most people to read and comprehend(not because people are dumb, more so that it is poorly written, and it is bogged down with tons of legal diction that your everyday american doesn't understand) hell some of the professors at my school are still 4 years after it was passed working on the integration of it into Illinois.

Anywho as for the business you described personally. The resturant is only open for dinner in the winter, which say 4pm-10pm? 6x7=42, so there are 42 possible hours in the week for him and he has 50 employees employed full time? From an objective business POV he could easily have nobody be employed full time, and still sustain his winter work schedule. And depending on your state, for obama care to affect him he would have to be able to sustain their "full time" work hours year round for it to fall under the obamacare. And even than anyone who's worked at a resturant could tell you to have 50 full time employee's implies your restaurant is HUGE even if you are open 8am-10pm having 50 full time employees is absurd(i mean the only conceivable restaurant that would employee that many people is like a freaking Vegas buffet..)

More than likely what's happening is your uncle has both his brewery and his resturant as one entity(which if he sells his brew anywhere but his restaurant very well could be fraud*) I believe--like 90% sure-- he can easily split them up and than his work forces would be under seperate entities and he wouldn't have to give them health care. And if he somehow is sustaining 50 full time employees on just his brewery, and he still can't fund health care he should probably look at his business practices since there are quite a few micro brewers who sell their product across multiple states and stil employ less than 30 let alone 50 full time employers(goose island 312 brewery being a prime example).

Hell i only know like the basics of it as well as the legal side, i'm sure if he did his full research and talked to a small business consultant there are tons of loopholes and work arounds as well. And if the brewery is just a small hobby of his, and he only sells it at his restaurant maybe he should just drop it(or the resturant if the brewery is the money maker). It sounds like less of a "obama care is killing my uncle's business" and more so Your uncle is poorly managing his business(es?) and it actually sounds really freaking shady.

*I deal in international investment mostly, not small businesses and finacing so I'm not 100% sure if it's fraud or not,but i doubt the IRS would bother to look either way since it sounds like a very small business that is standing on its last legs

can i be you?

More OT: joining a really low level ugc 6's or HL team and having fun with them is a pretty good way to make some buddies you don't really have to scrim and practice all that much nad it's like 1 day a week commitment(and most the time you can miss matches nbd).

If it really is that abusive, and it's that bad of an environment for a child. Best advice i can give is call child services, they take things like that really seriously i think(or rather assume/guess) that you can call anonymously or at least ask them to say it was an anonymous tip if asked.

At the most minimal case if he is abusive they would ask him to attend court mandated counseling(unsure if that's just something that pertains to my state or if that's the Federal way to handle it) and usually a psychiatrist could try to help him. Or could diagnose him as a mentally unfit parent.

I don't know shit for non physical domestic abuse but i think as long as she stays with him of her own will, and he isn't like threatening or hitting her, it falls upon herself to leave to i'd suggest you just point out his abusive tendencies(people don't tend to like you blatantly confronting them about their SO)
