    I've always been a fan of more simplistic images, so here's just a hat:

    (Caveat: I'm not a pro, but I've been around a while.)

    Sometimes you can't.

    It totally depends on the other person in the relationship. Either she'll forgive you (and it will take some time), or she won't.

    She may say she will/does, and may WANT to think that she's forgiven you, but really doesn't, because she can't... some people just aren't wired for it.

    If, after an initial "fuck you I'm pissed off" period she constantly will hold it over your head and refer to it for leverage, the relationship is fucked and (in my opinion) not worth being in.

    Regardless, it'll take time. And you'll have to put up with a lot of shit from her, and with subservient "yes ma'am" kind of attitude. And rightly so. You've fucked up, and you owe her. Big time. But don't take unnecessary shit from her either. Keep your spine intact, but be stoic.

    Trust is one of those things that may never be regained, except under the most exceptional circumstances.

    Whatever you do, don't pretend it didn't happen. Don't rub it in her face, obviously, but you have to subtly let her know every now and then that you still know you've fucked her over and are sorry. Small, unnecessary gestures help... but don't go over the top like you're trying to balance a scale or something. Do it because you want to show her how much you love her, not to settle the books.


    Oh... and keep your dick in your pants.

    While you're having sex with her, just keep reassuring her over and over and over again that you're "not thinking about fucking other women right now."

    Re: Rant & Rave Thread

    You should probably name all of the women that you're not thinking about just to drive the point home.

    On a more serious note, the relationship may not be salvageable. Give it some time but be prepared to pull the plug for both of your sakes if she can't eventually forgive you.

    Re: Rant & Rave Thread


    I'm not thinking about our Waitress tonight with the southern accent, I'm not thinking about the coffee shop girl that always has a low cut shirt on, I'm not thinking about those two hot blondes in the porno I jerked off to yesterday, I'm not thinking about my ex-girlfriend that would let me stick it in her ass and would still let me finish in her mouth....

    ...I swear baby, I'm not.

    ...Now I'm not thinking about calling said ex-girlfriend tomorrow, and seeing if she wants to meet up for lunch or a drink or something, you know, just to reconnect.

    OR if she is a co-dependent type you could just blame her for smothering you and threaten to leave her. She will then be forced to trust you, lest you dump her lonely ass. Muhuuhuu hahahahaha!!*


    *This would actually be funny if it weren't true for my buddy who does this to his long term girlfriend all the time. He's the ladies man all the girls want to "tame."

    I've gotten a bit of shit for this post regarding my desire for an Alienware desktop.

    One member even offered their services to build a computer if I purchased the parts, as well as to send it to me free of charge so that I don't look like more of an idiot.

    While I had considered building one myself, the significant other simultaneously doubts if I still have the capability to do so in such a manner that I protect my investment [essentially she's worried I'll fuck up and destroy my build, eventually costing myself the exorbitant price I was going to spend on an Alienware], and also wants me to have a warranty to back us up.


    So, what I am looking for is a suggestion to a company that can build a good rig for me, with a good reputation and utilizes parts that I won't get jacked over the table for... as well as one that carries a good warranty policy.

    Can anyone offer some good advice in this regard?

    Thanks in advance.

    It's almost ridiculous how easy it is to build yourself a desktop. Just be mindful of how you handle the parts.

    As for warranty. Most of your parts will have some sort of manufacturer's warranty. My video card died about 1.5 years after I built my desktop. EVGA ended up sending me a new one with me just having to pay for shipping of the old one to them. Yeah it can be a pain trying to figure out what the problem is, but if you get a dud part you can usually just RMA it (the RAM I got was DOA for my first build).

    I would be highly surprised if you managed to fuck it up so badly that you it would be more than an alienware. If you're that paranoid, find a cheap build to put together and give away to a friend or family member (or put to use elsewhere in your home) and practice with that.

    <a class="postlink" href="http://ncix.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://ncix.com</a> has a US branch now, what you can do is put all the parts + OS in your cart, and they'll offer to put it together for you for $50. It's not THAT economical but you'll still come out ahead.

    Agree with NCIX. They have a number of stores here in Vancouver, and the main source of all my computer supplies. They have some knowledgeable staff as well.

    Since nobody seems to want to answer this question for me for some reason, I'll ask here:

    What is a Wahoo Thread, and since everybody raves about them and gets moist in the down-there-spot at the thought of bringing them back, why can't we do them?

    I've been clean shaven all my life, but this year I decided to grow a winter beard. It's been growing for two weeks and is itchy as hell. Tips?

    I started growing one a few weeks ago. Someone told me to wash it with shampoo. It seems to be working okay so far.

    Yeah make sure you use shampoo instead of a regular bar of soap. I find it works much better.

    Dude honestly most of the top brands of pc components end up having fantastic warranties. Asus offers 5 years on mobos, several PSU companies offer 5+ years, several 3d card vendors offer lifetime warranties, and several RAM vendors offer lifetime warranties as well. You'll save a shit ton of money building it yourself and have more options when it comes to parts as well as the way it looks.

    Wahoo was one of the regular posters on the RMMB. He enjoyed going and finding forums of people who he felt were of dubious social worth, and taunting them using fake profiles until they cried and/or figured out how to IP ban him. A Wahoo thread is a forum thread used to coordinate a group of people creating fake profiles and trolling the fuck out of people on some other forum - presumably something like depressed 20 somethings who don't know what they want to be when they grow up, or furries.

    And you probably could do one again if you found a target worth the effort, and if there's still a suitable level of juvenile enthusiasm available. Honestly, while I had fun participating in some of the Wahoo threads, I wouldn't have the time or energy to bother with that shit these days - and I don't really think the mods here have the time or energy to deal with the counter trolling that inevitably happens. I'm sure if you wander over to 4chan, you'll find some call to Troll though - and it's not like it's even possible to counter troll 4chan.

    I want to address a comment that was repped to me regarding the computer issue I responded to.

    If you're going to spend the minimum amount with Alienware which is around $2,200 USD. Then you'd end up saving considerably even if you bought entirely retail. About two years ago I spent $2200 on top of the line components which probably would have cost me $3500 with Alienware (I just priced one and it came to almost $3500). Included with that $2200 I spent was a sweet Samsing 24 inch LCD HD monitor, badass computer speakers, 3 1TB Western Digital Black Edition Caviars, 1 500GB drive, a sweet G5 gaming mouse, and wireless, none of which you get with Alienware by default.

    Would you rather save possibly over a grand and deal with a few different vendors if something messes up or would you rather spend your hard earned cash for a bit less trouble if something goes wrong?
