And unless Freddy Mercury was Romanian or Russian in decent, I don't think I have the genes to imitate him.

So why didn't Snake play the reindeer games? Did he assume by getting a pic out of you without having to reciprocate that he would "win" your argument? Is that what qualifies as "winning" today?
You see, Snake is SO smart, we'll never understand!
Equivalent to this?

I like that it only got weird at the end, the setting? No, that's totally normal.

I wasn't aware that was the stereotype they were associated with until recently. But the deal is, my grandpa Lou was born into the farm life and was forced out during the pogroms.
Yes, you understand what that entails. Yes, I am 1/8th joo-ush by heritage, athiest by personal ideals.
At any rate, he moved to America during the 1910's-20's, and actually established himself as a fairly well-known doctor. Lot of old people seem to recognize the Manoil name as being Lou's legacy. He was apparently pretty goddamn funny, too-- shame though, I never met him. He died the year before I was born, mid-eighties if I am correct. I'm also told he was part of a long line of generations that would have their children at age 50. I'm the first in the bloodline to break that chain.

I guess, somehow in that excuse of his that passes of a mind, I could post pictures I'm in no way embarrassed about, and he could welch on a bet in front of everyone, and be some kind of hero.

I'm just a hater because a Romanian stole my iPhone. It was uninsured, so that's an equivalent of about $1000 down the drain. The cheeky bastard then made fucking long-distance calls to Romania with it which cost me another $70 or so. Fucking dick, I mean what the fuck is he doing in London when he cannot even afford to call his home country. Douchebag, I hope he gets hit by a truck.

You're right, what are thieves doing in London...

QFE

I paid 1NT for my phone (1USD ~ 32NT) when I was living in Taiwan and all it took was buying a cheap sim. Package came from the major operator there, came unlocked and does what it needs to. Unless your job depends on you having one of these smartphones, then I can't see the point. It's just another expensive toy that breaks easily.

Why not? I look after my things very well, keep them in top condition, I never lose shit. I buy a new phone every 5 years, making that one the 3rd phone that I've ever owned. And I still use my 5 year old other phone for my other chip. My first phone just stopped working due to its age. I thus have no problem with investing in an expensive phone. And then some scoundrel comes along and steals it.

Romanian phone thieves. This would make for a good story. Gotta write that down

Nonetheless, I understand the pain and don't take your anguish personally. Shit happens and things get personal. However, I would suggest putting less money into a tool that is at risk of these kinds of situations based on the nature of the object. But that's entirely at your discretion.

Exactly. I have owned four different phones in my entire life (a period of 11 years) and never taken that much care of them, really. One I forgot in the rain for a couple of days, still worked afterwards though. Oh, and none of them cost more than 120 bucks. I don't need to worry about thieves either :dance: But, each to his own, I guess. I just don't feel like spending that much money on something so silly.

The man's a genius, us common folk should probably bow down to him, he has the wisdom of an old japanese man with big pants and an odd moustache.

That would only lead to him checkmating his own king before the first move. D:
