aha I work in a bottle shop in Australia, casual rates are higher than full time rates, I get payed $25 an hour, I have read the riot act to my manager on a few occasions, and they accepted it and apologized and we worked talked things out like adults, 2 reasons, one I work hard at everything...

the problem is at least partially to do with the stupid attitude so many people parrot "ugh I hate math I'll never have to use it out of school" I've heard it from kids, I've heard it from parents, I even once heard it from a math teacher. when are you gonna have to use math, every frickin day...

why is it there is a trend to make pokemon look somewhat humanoid as they evolve more and more as we move through the generations? I haven't really played pokemon for a few generations so maybe I am just not seeing the whole picture, but humanoid pokemon sorta just look unoriginal now.

I feel the moist von lipwig books are the strongest of the discworld books, no other character can keep you so on the edge of your seat, dancing on the head of a pin then so thoroughly beat down anyone who comes against him without ever laying a hand on them, except maybe lord vetinari, but...

true we have a chimp for prime minister, and yes voting is compulsory, but never let it be said that your vote doesn't count, every single vote counts down to the nth degree(having worked at the counting of the most recent election I can safely say it is not to make it administratively easier)...

dunno while I agree that forcing gender placement may not be the best idea in terms of game quality or whats the fairest thing to do on an individual level, but in terms of strategy's to even out demographic from a long term perspective it actually has merit, force more females placements in the...

I dunno I wouldn't have considered it that bigger deal, but the guy is clearly offended, and if enough Asians do find it offensive the I see no problem with them complaining to get it changed, let the outcry speak for itself, if no one else is making noise it'll die down in no time, but all a...

yeah I have had problems with this in the past, as a result in bad situations I have a habit of, in the words of my friend "burning my bridges with the heat of the sun", people tell you not to do it, but I find a nice burning bridge can often light the way ahead and their really is no choice in...

the reason is really simple, now correct me if i am wrong but pay or 'cable' television is common in america, in australia it is really fairly unusual to have pay TV, like really unusual, its just not a thing we do here, but all the popular shows from overseas (except doctor who, fantastic) air...

the united states is stuffed, plain and simple, its time as a major world player is over and the next 50-100 years will see it decline to the point where it is basically irrelevant on the world stage, and frankly a country that can't look after its people doesn't deserve to be a world player...

its a plot limitation and a gameplay limitation, other it is too complicated otherwise, how do you make PvP compelling to players who don't play with friends too, it may seem alien to you but a lot of people do it, the easiest way to cater to both groups is make the motivation for PvP factional...

yes because fallout 3 is worth playing and the improvments in mechanics make it hard to go from playing NV to 3 if you are gonna play both at least play through the main quest of 3 first

you know there are 23000 nukes on the planet earth, enough to kill everyone 1000 times over, there are hundreds or rapists, pedophiles, mass murderers and generally sad sick human beings, thousands die every day of starvation while we throw away more than enough to feed them, there are hundreds...

erm I live in australia and we never get ANY international competitions, ever, its due to our retarded gambling laws but seriously rest of the world, harden up, yeah I know its disappointing but hey that's life, he is one guy, if he shipped international shipping insurance is expensive, oh sure...

I am in the same situation at the moment, but i am in the position of the friend, and fact is he is almost certainly interested, I don't know the guy but in my case I won't do anything, i would feel too guilty regardless of my feelings, can't give you any advice, but yeah, the friend in question...
