Why are the thumbnail images in the video game section all stretched out?

My employer has facilities all over and I could likely transfer to any of them but I have a daughter who wouldn't appreciate being uprooted to a new home/school, and family/friends locally who depend on me regularly. Although the company is based out of Atlanta, she's being trained to head up their office in the Poconos (PA), which is only a six hour drive from here. With our conflicting schedules we rarely saw each other during the week as it is, so I'm thinking our lives won't be impacted too much if she lived there and we stayed here during the week, and make the trip over the weekends. I just don't know what to do, obviously it'll take some serious considerations

You are the parent. You tell your kid what to do. Kids adjust. Kids make friends easily.
Much more easily than an adult can. She'll be fine.

Do what you need to, don't be constricted by percieved issues.

If you feel your relationship can't survive the distance is your call, think out everything first, weigh all pros and cons.

I hope you get it. I just want a better job so I can stop living paycheck to paycheck and get away from so many idiot co-workers.

Thank you! I know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck and deal with incompetent coworkers/management. It can make work feel like purgatory. I hope you find something better as well!

Just about called the cops this morning as the neighbors across the street were in a massive argument outside. They have two young children and they're always fighting. They've had the cops called on them multiple times and this time it was almost me who did it. The woman sped off in her shitty van before I could reach my phone. I hear one more chirp from them and I'm calling immediately. These people are complete lowlifes and they're terrible parents.

The internet makes fun of Nickelback to the point, it's not really a meme anymore. My question is, back in the 80s everyone I knew liked, or at least secretly liked Def Leppard, so why all the hate for Nickelback? They're basically the same band, though Leppard is a bit more technical. Am I wrong about this?

Very, very wrong!
Def Leppard always was and always will be rock gods!
They are the ultimate party band!
In before the Poison brigade...
And it was the mid'late 90s when Def Leppard was made fun of by no talent hacks!
The joke came out around the Slang ablum...
What has 9 arms and sucks? Def Leppard.

Def Leppard has never sucked!

Are they hurting the kids? Is there a chance the kids will get hurt?

I don't see any evidence that they're physically harming the children. The kids seem pretty happy mostly. It's just the parents are constantly screaming at each other, their relationship is obviously extremely toxic. My main concern is getting them to shut the hell up considering they were outside in public screaming so loudly.

Are they tweakers?

Why do eBay sellers have MAKE OFFER as an option on their item if they have no intention for selling it for less than the price they've listed?

[Head bugs]

Venezuela is in such turmoil. All that oil money with no forethought to infrastructure. Some systems will never work.

At this year's Glastonbury Festival, there was a huge emphasis to "Love the farm, leave no trace." The pledge was to "Please don't pee on the land, use the bins provided, bag up campsite rubbish and use the recycling pens, take your belongings home including tents and camping gear."

And this is the result, a £785,000 clean-up effort that will take six weeks:

I've been around those types my whole life, in one way or another. Some of the tweakers aren't mean at all, just laser focused on the most ridiculous projects. I like those kind, they are extremely interesting.

people are savages, man. no two ways about it. sometimes when the get together in big groups they just lose all control over anything resembling a polite and decent society and go all caveman.

it's sad, really.

Imagine how much money is out there. Probably a few wallets, too. Watches, chains...who knows. Could be fun to clean up something like that.
