Off Topic 2013

not sure if this the right part of the forum, but im looking for reasons (examples) why users are getting banned from the OS. i have been seeing a lot of pink names on here during the last weeks, not saying that people are getting banned more often than before it just came to my attention lately. if there is some place with rules and regulations on here then im sorry, didnt find it until now. also im not saying that those users dont deserve to get banned, im just wondering why.

Spelling and grammatical errors, mostly.

Pretty sure it was mostly due to getting that quip in as the first response to the thread.

Edit: Lol, I just noticed that the OP edited his original post three days after creating the thread.

I got to 'em with the aid of forty thumbs.

This one got a lot of likes. Looked like 58. It's not by me and was actually a total accident that I stumbled upon this after reading off-topic, but dammit it was funny. Here's where it's from: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ssion-347.html

And for the record, I think the idea of starting a thread where you post what you think everyone else looks like would turn into a real gem, especially with comparison pictures . But credit goes to ubernoob for that idea.

I got you.

Re: Off Topic 2013

For JJ and any other guy out there who feels hopeless because they aren't having luck finding a Girlfriend. You have to get out of that mindset, and stop measuring your self-worth based on whether or not you are in a romantic relationship. No girl is going to take pity on you and go aww what a poor guy he's sitting all alone in the corner feeling sorry for himself, I want to sleep with him.

Someone once gave me a great piece of advice. What they said was; "Instead of putting all your effort and energy into finding that right person, focus on becoming the right person first and in that journey of self improvement and trying to better yourself you will end up finding someone with similar goals and aspirations."

You can't talk to girls right now because your confidence is low, and you're stuck in a cycle of equating your self worth with having a girlfriend. So of course every night you come home alone you're going to beat yourself up over it, Why can't I get a girlfriend, why am I such a failure? You have to get out of this mindset as soon as possible it's killing your self esteem.

Instead put your energy in becoming the best version of you that you can be. Focus on activities that build confidence. Learn how to play a musical instrument, teach yourself a foreign language, go out and start a business, don't like your physique? take up Body building. Just throwing out random examples but do things that make you feel good about yourself, because if you don't like who you are; how can you expect a woman to like you and want to be around you?

Just my two cents but I was one of those guys that always moped around going "Man I'm such a nice guy why can't I get a girlfriend?" Wasted so much time with that type of thinking Instead of doing what I should have been doing which was building myself a career path, and improving and bettering my life skills.

Bingo. Bango. Bongo. Hit the nail right on the head.

It's tough. I've been in that rut for a little while. Living with three other guys who all have girlfriends isn't easy to live with on the weekend (despite me being friends with all 6 of them).

At times I think, "what the heck did they do that I haven't?" Or, "what is so off-putting about me that makes it impossible for me to get into a relationship?" But that kind of thinking is self-defeating and does nothing but hurt your self-esteem. And it's a vicious cycle, too. So you have to do things that get your mind off of that.

For me, that's a multitude of things, from going into the research lab to going into the gym and working out. Do things that you're comfortable with that are also being done by a lot of other people. I'm thinking of taking a ballroom dancing class once I'm into graduate school, just because. You have to do things that make you feel good about being you. Life's too short to be spent being unhappy. If you're unhappy, do something to change it!

NCAA 14 is good but I'm already back to playing FIFA online. No sports game compares.

How great would it be if FIFA had an online career mode similar to that of Madden and NCAA?

I don't think I'd ever take FIFA out of the console.

That would be pretty cool. You would have to fight for transfers and prospects etc. But I don't think FIFA worries too much about career mode and just focuses primarily on FUT and gameplay.

And I love FIFA for that. But I think they've worked on game play (we'll see where it is in '14) where they could really start thinking about an online mode for future iterations. They'd have to make the prospect scouting a lot more in-depth, IMO, but if they did, that's a first day buy for me.

So who is doing basketball statistical analysis questions for a job evaluation with the Charlotte Bobcats (excuse me, Hornets) at 4 AM? This guy.

Lol, my girlfriend works at Geek Squad here in FL. She's had her share of those crazy assed customers, just no celebrity there to film it.

Bitches be crazy coast to coast.
