i'm also reading the news

But the police knew he had a weapon, it was the entire reason they were called to location in the first place. Sterling had been selling CDs outside of that convenience store -- with the owner's consent -- for something close to 6 years. The store owner said he considered Sterling a friend. The police came after a citizen called 911 and reported that a man selling CDs was threatening people with a gun outside of the convenience store. Like prime minister Blair, these officers decided to shoot before exhausting non-violent options first. One of the most tragic aspects of this story -- outside of the absolute devastation to the family and innocent slaughter of a civilian -- is that, according to the Huffington Post, Sterling didn't even actually have a gun at the time. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/alton-sterling-video_us_577d668ae4b0c590f7e7d2a7?section=

UPDATE: According to Buzzfeed, new footage has come forward that shows Sterling did have a gun; however, he was murdered before it was removed from his person. The shop owner, who watched the whole thing happen, said he believed what the officers did was murder. https://www.buzzfeed.com/claudiakoerner/new-video-shows-police-removing-gun-from-alton-sterlings-poc?utm_term=.fhw0RQqmr#.fpDlwVen4

Responding to unsubstantiated gossip with more unsubstantiated gossip doesn't really address the substance underlying the quoted comments -- how this decision will destroy other teams, why this happened, what public statements Ronin will release, and its potential unfairness to involved players -- but it is an effective deflection technique so props for drawing attention away from the impetus of the original comments.

It was great meeting you at GXL Nick. Thanks for clarifying the b4nny/clockwork situation for me.

I'm not sure where you live but:
- beach with friends is always fun (bonfire/volleyball/surfing)
- live music shows/karaoke (a lot of my local bars will have live music for free)
- road trip somewhere you haven't visited
- check groupon for fun deals nearby (or food deals)
- museums (in LA there's the taylor swift grammy museum right now!!)

most of the time i just enjoy getting mexican food with my friends and having a kickback at the house. and then week by week we'll rotate what activities we do at the house (videogames and wine for me, friday night football for the guys, pool party for the girls, backyard bbq, taco tuesdays, wine tasting night, board game nights) and that works really well for us. another fun thing we do is "family dinner" where all of us get dressed up, set up a big table and some fairy lights, and eat nice steak and cheap wine. good luck finding something to do

my vote goes to mala

Be honest, confident, and humble when you approach her. A lot of girls can tell when a guy is legitimately a nice guy and there's no reason to make her doubt you by bamboozling her with bullshit and games. From there, put an honest effort into spending time with her. Try to find mutual interests between you two, that'll make getting to know her considerably less awkward.

Nice, funny guy who's fun to play with. Pick him up.

Strong dm, funny, dedicated to the game and his team, and overall nice guy. Pick him up.

Sorry i think the privacy settings were set to friends? all the pictures should work now.

I think there were minor things (better tables and chairs) but overall, I thought you guys did a great job organizing this. Thank you to everyone who came to the venue early to set up, stayed late to clean, and just ripped their hair out trying to keep this event going smoothly (especially you nick :3). Also the outro frag video was well done and touching. It was wonderful to see everyone and I hope we can do it again.
