The fact that HBO doesn't have an independent streaming service that doesn't require a cable subscription. Even if it cost like $20/month, I'd say shut up and take my money.

I end up just aimlessly browsing the internet, checking the same 5 webcomics I read multiple times a day even though I know they update only once daily.

That and general anxiety always ruin my free days(some of the non-free too, incidentally).

HBO is a subsidiary of Time Warner. Time Warner licenses its name to the cable company it owned till 2009. Do the math.

While possible, such an action would put HBO in competition with the companies it depends on to deliver most of its service. Comcast, Cox and Charter would squeeze their balls so hard, the gooey bits would splatter all over the room.

Yeah, I just "obtained" Season 4. They made me do it. I have a physical need to see medieval boobies and wieners. I guess I'll buy the DVD set when it comes out to sate my conscience.

Paper towels get soggy within seconds, making them useless for soaking up moisture, and towels shouldn't really have soft sides (beach towels, towels with images on them) because they get soggier faster than the rough side. :?

This shit's fucking awful.
why are you even in that lane still, slow guy

you aren't even supposed to stay in that lane

Big problem here in Florida because of all the old people. 4/5 times I see it happen, it's someone who's visibly over 60 driving. The other 1/5th is someone on their phone.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

you ever tried flushing a beach towel? sounds like you are looking for something closer to a maxipad to wipe with. You are not supposed to flush them.

I'm just talking about generally drying wet hands, face, etc. with a towel or toiler paper/paper towels; I've often used a lot of toilet paper in a "bunch" as a way to dry off in place of a towel.

Lately I've been seeing people incorrectly using "Loose" instead of "Lose" on forums, etc.

That absolutely annoys the hell out of me. I'll chalk it up to auto correct kicking in, but still it annoys me greatly.
Just like someone typing "Payed" instead of "paid"... :roll:

The collection was pretty much my last chance to get all the stuff I wanted once and for all. Since I was already pissed with all the wrong/unfinished/incomplete versions I got before and the bloody ultra-limited stuff I couldn't get, this is one last big disappointment thanks to their cunt commercial policy.
You have to fucking fight to play their games, having your money ready is not enough.
I like their games A LOT, but Cave are genuine douches.
If one day I can play all their games through decent-enough emulation then I'll do it since I've stopped caring about their revenue as much as they have stopped caring about shmups.

Good on ye. If being a pissy bitch is the downside of quitting, that's totally acceptable. Hopefully, soon, I will be a pissy bitch as well. (I love to smoke.. even before I had my first cigarette. I blame my mother for excessive breast feeding. Gotta blame someone other than myself.. :|)

Haha thanks guys. The first week was hell, now it's mostly late night cravings since I'm a total night owl. Nicotine and caffeine have been my only vices for a while now, but getting near that "half my life as a smoker" mark kinda made me think it's probably about time I try and give it up.

Exercise has helped a lot, I'm walking and jogging about 30-40 miles a week. Lifting some weights a bit too, nothing too crazy but the deep breathing reduces cravings a lot. Oh, and lots of gum, fresh air, and sunlight.
