regrets
 

this girl has got a few:

Sometimes, there just aren't enough shoes to kick all of the people, y'know?

Yeah, I saw this on the news... I could barely understand her accent but she said something about worrying how to get a job now.

My advice: learn to play bass and join Electric Wizard

that's what happens when you order a facial "my little pony".

When I was 2, me and my friend Corky were wandering about the neighborhood when we came to the alleyway behind Old Man Petersen's butchers shop. He was throwing out sausages! A few days out of date, sure, but perfectly edible. So Corky says, "Let's steal these sausages!", and so we did. Old Man Petersen chased us down the street and we ran as fast as we could, ropes of sausage in our mouths. We were too busy running to notice that big red pickup truck. I'll never forget Corky's yelp as the wheel ran over his leg, and the sausage dropped to the ground. Naturally, he was put down, as his leg was completely crushed and his owners couldn't afford to have it amputated. Stealing those sausages will always be my biggest regret.

When I was 6, me and my friend were wandering about the neighborhood when we came to the abandoned lot next to my house. She convinced me to throw bricks at the bees! We ran only a few feet away, sure, but perfectly far enough. So I say, "is there a bee on my face?", because it felt like it. Old Man Sting flew in my ear and stung me as hard as it could, and left it's pulsing stinger behind. I was too busy running to my mommy to notice that my silver hood prevented my friend from seeing the big angry bee. I'll never forget the baking soda caked inside my ear, and the stinger that came out. Naturally, I destroyed the rest of the hive, as my ear was completely hurting and her fellow bees couldn't see me coming. Throwing those bricks will always be my biggest regret.

Bayesian regret is gotten via this procedure:

Each voter has a personal "utility" value for the election of each candidate. (E.g., if Nixon is elected, then voter Dan Cooper will acquire -55 extra lifetime happiness units.) In a computer simulation, the "voters" and "candidates" are artificial, and the utility numbers are generated by some randomized "utility generator" and assigned artificially to each candidate-voter pair.
Now the voters vote, based both on their private utility values, and (if they are strategic voters) on their perception from "pre-election polls" (also generated artificially within the simulation, e.g. from a random subsample of "people") of how the other voters are going to act.
(Note. Some people here have gotten the wrong impression that this is assuming that voters will be "honest" or that we are assuming that honest range voters will use candidate-utilities as their candidate-scores. Other people thought we insisted on i.i.d. normal random numbers as utility values [or that some other specific randomized utility generator was insisted upon]. All those impressions are incorrect; these assumptions are not made.)
The election system E elects some winning candidate W.
The sum over all voters V of their utility for W, is the "achieved societal utility."
The sum over all voters V of their utility for X, maximized over all candidates X, is the "optimum societal utility" which would have been achieved if the election system had magically chosen the societally best candidate.
The difference between 5 and 4 is the "Bayesian Regret" of the election system E, at least in this experiment. It might be zero, but if E was bad or if this election was unlucky for E, then it will be positive because W and X will be different candidates.

I wonder what life would be like if I made better choices.

But then I wouldn't have learned the life lessons I've learned. And people I know might not even exist, or I might never have met them.

Haha, the moment I saw the title I knew it was going to be about her. Yeah everyone in Belgium is laughing their ass off. Facebook is being spammed with fanclubs and quizzes about her.

I hate tattoos, but particularly alot of girls' tastes in tattoos. Those little stars are the worst.

Damn. Face tats are no good.





Ever.

I think the above picture says a lot about those who get face tattoos.

I like facial tattoos.

Obviously nothing as fucking obnoxious as those stars or those brow things though.

I'd get one if they weren't so "looked down upon"

Maybe when I'm old.

I really like the dots on the forehead you posted. Very minimalist.

Yeah, me too :)

I think I like the chin ones most though? I dunno...

Apocalypto had so many bad ass facial tattoos. I wish I could pictures of all of them.

Different varieties of the across the check bone one I posted. Sooo cool.

I don't mind her face tattoos... I just think it would really hurt around the temple area.

I'm not a big fan of star tattoos, but in comparison to that other bitches, those look mighty good!

I don't believe the girls story about falling asleep and all that. If she is telling the truth, then that is one hilarious tattoo artist. I know if I were him, and tattooing a sleeping person's face, I would be tempted to go all out too.

Face tattoos = Never ever ever in my life!
Though, really if she wanted she could just cover it up with heavy makeup after it's all healed. There is some great coverage type stuff out there for people who have birth makes and the like, Im sure it would work for her.

As if you either..

1 fall asleep while getting a tattoo
2 your tattooist is not bothered by you falling asleep.. any responsible tattoo artist will not tattoo you like that!

haha. katVD is really running out of blank space.

what about like vali myers? :p

I'd love to get a vali artwork inspired/part of an artwork as a tattoo, but I cant help thinking that it would just be a little cliche or something.. I dont know. I'll still probably get it one day. I think her work would translate so well to being on skin and the medium..

MSN:
Jed says:
*looks like a unicorn blew a load on her face.

yeah it was in the paper yesterday. apparently the tattoo is really poorly done too and will be very hard to remove. has anyone seen the guy who did it though?

yeh i saw him, he is pretty inked up himself and pierced. its just the fact that she says she fell asleep while doing them that made me laugh. it sounds so much like a lame excuse which is exactly what it is i mean no one can fall asleep while having facial tatoo's plus the fact that he will have had to do the stencil and all that kinda stuff put on.

anyway this thread is for all stupid people with regrets not just tatoo's so keep em coming.

he said the girl asked for three stars, then agreed it wasn't enough, then he showed her a drawing of what 56 would look like and she agreed and went home... it was only after her dad came to the guy for a 'talk' that the trouble started.

Does anyone believe that the girl/parents can blame the tatoo artist for this trainwreck?

well at least she didn't get a tramp stamp

I happen to find tramp stamps very provocative. Even if they aren't executed so well.

yes. i think kat is beautimous.


i like pixie too.


i wonder if she will regret slitting her tongue like snake and stretching her earlobes? so many people are doing this now. what do you people think of that trend?

Kinda looks like a mustache? I like the little bit under her lip though.

it was meant to be one! she used to draw it on and eventually had it tattooed.

i think it's quite stupid and ugly, since it's something you can't really hide... most tattoos can be covered up in a way, but when you start to mess with your face and doing something permanent to it, it's not as easy to get rid of when you're tired of it.

plus, i really don't like the look of those stretchers on anyone. even the smaller ones make your ears look ew when you take them out.

... i've had a few.
but then again,
too few to mention...

i did wot i 'ad ta do.
and saw it through
without exemption...

to think...
I killed a cat.
and may I say
not in a gay way.
oh no, oh no not me.

Je ne regrette rien.

I never made a single mistake in my whole life.
