Thought about it. Suggest you do the same. If I already sat out three days for 100 points, staying out another three for the exact same reward doesn't make sense.
And I don't buy that you always earn it on your own.
hollowtrucker77 said:The whole point is to watch your step so you don't "accidentally" get banned. A 200-point strike gets you a 3-day suspension too. Same for 300. And 400. But look, mods can just drop a direct ban if they see someone stuck on the same broken record, depending on how much trouble they think that person's gonna cause.
Total nonsense. Even stupider is keeping your points after a ban—so if someone hits you with another 10-point violation, you're right back in the gray zone. Makes you wonder what points you were even working off during those three days.
Sure. Nothing beats shutting down those pseudo-intellectuals when they start preaching about the "undeniable quality" of movies like Drive Angry. I’d probably only watch that if someone forced me to undergo some weird lab experiment. Best part? You don't even have to actually see the movie to churn out a few coherent sentences about it. It's always the same script.
So, this has been happening for about six months now. I wake up and—bam—completely paralyzed. My whole body just tightens up from the inside. It usually passes in like thirty seconds, but at first, I was freaking out like, "What the hell just happened?" Then I did a little digging online and realized it’s actually pretty common—basically my body lagging behind my brain, not realizing I'm already awake and conscious. It’s happened a few more times since then, always the same thing: can't move, some tingling sensations... though instead of panicking like the first time, I just kind of roll with it and enjoy the "spiritual awakening" vibe. Until just now. That's why I'm posting. I was exhausted, so I laid down thinking I'd grab a quick hour of sleep before getting stuff done. And what happens? I wake up in that half-asleep state, ready to get up, but nope. Nothing. It starts to pass slowly after about half a minute, I'm finally moving my hands and feet, and then suddenly—round two. But this time, it was brutal. The tightening was so intense my tongue went numb and I felt like my lungs were going to explode. I seriously couldn't catch my breath. So yeah, back to feeling like I was meeting my maker.
I feel like a new man now, well, by my standards anyway. But that second round was a whole new level of this "sleep paralysis" phase. Just wondering, is there actually reason to worry here? 🙂
No dedicated thread yet, which is honestly kind of depressing given how many tickets have already moved—at least based on what I saw when I grabbed mine. So, the Hard Knocks tour, promoting the new record... who's actually going? Anyone got tips on where to grab a drink near Madison Square Garden for those of us coming in from out of town? 😁
There’s Andrés Iniesta in the third pic, then Carles Puyol in yellow right behind him. So it’s probably that second one. Looks decent, definitely better than the last yellow kit we saw
When even Michael Bay is trashing tech that looks like it could deliver explosions we've never seen on screen before, you know things are going south 😁
