They are disconnecting because she is asking why, so she is obviously not interested in omegling

So apparently Oklahoma decided to stop having AP US History classes because they don't teach enough good things about American history.

Undergraduate, NYU Shanghai.
Huh.  None of the colleges I looked at had those.  Two had some really long essays, however. 
You'll do fine.  Probably.  From what I have been able to see around here. 
Well, shit. Now we're on the Chinese government's watchlist, too.
We are JUST now getting there? What have we been doing for the past several years?

College interview in 5 hours D:
Those are things? Is that for being admitted to graduate school or as a professor or something?

Just got home from a big math competition that lasted two days, and on my way home I picked up the acceptance letter for the last of my colleges from the mailbox.

Sector one, and somewhat two, is based on a lot of luck with certain ship builds.  No shields?  Better hope you don't run into beam weaponry.  But then again, in just about every game ever made, your survival will depend on luck, and by the time you've invested a significant amount of time into a run of FTL you have had the time to invest against RNG fuckery. For example, to make up for the inability to guarantee a run in with a shop, I start building up for facing the flagship around sector five.  The early sectors are all about high risk ships dedicated to getting as much scrap as possible, mainly by boarding, and storing flagship critical equipment in the storage.  To prevent a single critical system from being put offline by a hacking drone or an absurdly lucky missile shot, invest in redundancy by upgrading systems more then needed, or having multiple offensive options for each type of ship.  Of course it is still always possible to have a hacking drone down your weapons, keeping you from breaking though a zoltan supershield fast enough to get your own hacking drone, or your teleporters, or your bombs, or your drone onto the enemy ship before they land several hits on your weapon system THROUGH 50% evasion and a defense drone.  I still call hacks on that one run

I liked how Mass Effect handled morality... until it became clear that Paragon actually had the best decisions and Renegade was just about being a dick.  They should have made it so that Renegade would win the war much more easily, with Paragon players having a much harder time.  But no, paragon gives you all the war points, and Renegade has you backstabbing anyone and everyone for lulz.

"Show me what you are doing on that! It better not be fucking porn or something."
Is there any other kind of porn?
...what am I saying.  It is the internet, of course there is.

You guys had some shitty wells then.  City water is the stuff that is normally unsafe to drink, with well water being nice, pure, and completely free.

Or get a well.  Wells work very effectively.

What is wrong with sweet tea?  What else are you going to drink in the high heat and high humidity of the south while working outside?

Well, I found a Worm/Dwarf Fort fic.  The thought of what happens when Spacebattles hits Bay12 terrifies me.

No, but thanks for the offer.  I really shouldn't be getting any more games at the moment, since I have a decent enough backlog of games, and starting this week I'm going to get to work with scholarship applications, so adding more distractions would be a bad idea.

Valkyria Chronicles is on sale again on Steam. If you missed the first sale or ignored it for some inexplicable reason, now's your chance to redeem yourself.
EVERYTIME THAT GAME GOES ON SALE SOMETHING HAPPENS TO KEEP ME FROM BUYING IT
In this case it was buying Deus Ex a few minutes before VC went on sale, so it wasn't a total loss.

The real lesson here is that the only people you should rely on are strangers.  If you know someone, RUN AWAY.
Aren't there actual statistics saying that people are more at risk from people they know then total strangers when it comes to this sort of thing?
