Big Hero 6? I really enjoyed that movie and I'm in my early 30s.

Land Before TIme 1
Coraline

I think she is a little young for Spirited Away, but its something to keep in mind for her later years. I've heard Ratatouille is supposed to be good.

if your cashier does a great job at customer service and he serves you once a week, Why no tip?

Well, for starters, Walmart Corporate policy, as one example, prohibits its employees from taking tips.

I've had a guy pay me with an envelope of dimes before. He told me there was 20 dollars worth of dimes, and then walked off. He was right, and his purchase came to exactly 20 dollars so no tip.....

Interesting little fact: You're under no legal obligation to take the money as payment. Over 20 coins of one denomination isn't considered legal currency.

Where I work we are allowed tips, as long as we declare any tips that are of a large amount, like over 5 dollars. Most I've gotten tipped was 20 dollars, and it was my only tip the entire year.

I have an I-Pod touch that can hold 20,000 songs. If I could get away from using I-Tunes to update my playlist I'd do it in a heartbeat.

The I-Pod itself is a breeze to use. Never had any problems with actually using it. Its just I-Tunes.

no option to sync my ipod touch with my itunes, I just want to update my playlist so I can go to the gym tomorrow and not listen to the same songs that have been on my ipod for the past year that I somehow got on there magically the first time.

Its the little things.

Talking on a cellphone the entire time they are at my register. Putting stuff up on the conveyor belt and still talking during the time they pay for their groceries and when they leave, not saying a word to me. Have some decency to at least acknowledge I exist. I'm not asking for the whole shebang, just common courtesy.

Another guy said to me during Christmas time that he hated Christmas and everything about it, and would rather be at home drinking a beer and smoking some of his pot. I just smiled and said Merry Christmas as he was walking away. Guy is scum, I'm surprised we haven't banned him from the store yet.

Oh, get this one, this one actually burns my blood a little. So our store opened up in 2015 and a guy comes in roughly once a week and all he does is bitches and curses off the cashiers, telling them that they are useless and just makes them feel like shit. We actually had female cashiers break down and cry and have to be removed from cash because of this guy.

We ended up getting him banned from the store permanently early in 2016. He didn't steal anything, but my god the satisfaction of seeing him get removed from the store forever. I was this close to decking him the next time he came to my cash.

I think my favorite line that annoys me is "you look tired", bitch, I know I look tired. I don't sleep properly because I can barely afford to keep my house, my car and feeding myself. I'm mentally stressed from this fucking job. I can't afford to quit, and no place else that pays more is hiring. I'm on a waiting list to go back to college, but I still have to work while I go to college, meaning I have to take distance courses, making me even more tired. Course..... I can't say that to their face, just to my coworkers who feel the same way.



Also, a little side note, if your cashier does a great job at customer service and he serves you once a week, Why no tip? I mean you deal with a waitress for less than a minute maybe once a year, maybe twice at most. You see a cashier who has given you amazing service constantly every week for a year, least you could do during christmas time is offering him a dollar or two. Nothing special, but it would be nice to get a little something extra for all I've done during the year. Damn grocery store won't give me a year end bonus despite me going on 5 years. They gave me a 15 dollar gift card FOR THEIR STORE. Couldn't even give it to me in cash so I could grab Mcdonalds or Mexican on the way home.

I don't know why anyone would put down working at Costco.... you do realize how much they pay right?

Up here in Canada its 16 starting out, going all the way up to 24 dollars an hour, twice what the minimum wage cap is. Unless you have a degree in something you won't be getting much better in an entry position, even with a degree your not guaranteed a good job, or even a job in this economy.

Janes Lemon Pepper Codfish
Rothchilds Roasted Pineapple and Habanero Sauce
Thai Kitchen Sweet Red Chili Sauce
The 16 packs of individual size Hummus
And the take home Chow Mein that they make. It might not be authentic, but it is still damn delicious

The problem with Unity I found wasn't the glitches, it was the god awful controls and the terrible storyline. Coming off of Assassins Creed Black Flag you'd think it would be an incredible experience, but it felt like 1 step forward 4 steps backwards.

I'm not big enough to get paid for playing it, lets get that out of the way, my channel isn't nearly that big. I just wanted to get the logistics out of the way beforehand.

I didn't know if its something that someone like Nintendo could come back to me at after my channel had grown to a decent following.

yeah, that's my biggest fear is the channel getting a warning, or even shut down.

I was about to say the same thing....

Tag me in Brother, we'll go mega powers on her

how do you think Nintendo would react if its for a game that they definitely will never bring over to the states? Terranigma is the game btw. Start to finish.

What gets me is what he was responding to. Taking martial arts to defend yourself is like the complete opposite of ignoring them. He just really wanted to get his accolades in there.

I'm very proud of my accolades. I worked damn hard to get them, so you damn right I'll brag about them any chance I can get.

As for the whole defense bit, Yes, I took Martial Arts. But I never once had to use it. The discipline that came along with that whole part of my life helped me ignore the haters and rework that energy into something more productive, which for me was split between writing and video games.

But I digress. diss me all you want after this I don't care anymore. I'm going to bed.

How dare your parents make sure you know how to defend yourself! Lazy parenting I say.

its not the defending part. That's not what TKD is about. They encourage you to not get in the situation in the first place. The defense is only after all else fails. Its an outlet for stress and anxiety, much like Hockey or Basketball are to some people.

They teach discipline, how to not get pissed off at every little thing, and how to treat others.

The fact that there's even an 'if' he found a guy in her bed the next day shows this wasn't an effective deterrent

oh, he didn't care that she was having sex. That never bothered him, he just didn't want it in the house. He pretty much accepted that they were going to do their own thing at that age and he couldn't do anything to stop them. He just came up with creative punishments if they chose not to obey his rules, like giving of my sisters a bowl cut when they were sleeping.

I guess you didn't hear about the girl who killed herself after her parents cut her hair as punishment while she was sleeping and she got bullied for it

Oh don't give me that nonsense. I'd tell that girl the same thing I will tell my kids when I eventually have them. Ignore the bullies.

Oh jesus christ. Yeah kids are great at just ignoring the bullies.

I was. I was bullied my entire life. From Grade 3 all the way until Grade 10. You know how I got over it? My parents enrolled me in Martial Arts teaching me discipline and respect. I also went out and got a black belt and 3 medals in Taekwon-Do(2 bronze in provincials, and 1 silver in Atlantic Canada) Yeah, needless to say the bullying stopped after they realized I could defend myself.

Focus on your studies, get good grades find something your passionate about and then become successful and laugh at the bullies in 20 years time when your the head of a multi-million dollar corporation and they are still working as a Janitor at Arbys.

Truth be told, that girl probably had problems prior, and this was just the thing that drove her over the edge. Good parents will balance out the good and the bad and deal with the bullies with the principal and the bullies parents.

Its the best of the franchise, followed shortly by the first Hobbit movie. I don't care how unaccurate they are to the books, still fantastic films.

You have the first hobbit movie over two towers and rotk?

For me it is. Two towers wasn't better than the first and had 1 or 2 scenes I actually want to watch again, and Return only had a couple moments that I actually found worth watching. I enjoyed the first Hobbit movie throughout.

See..... hitting them is wrong, but getting creative.... that's where its at.

When my sister first started having boys over to the house my dad had one rule. They better be gone by the time he goes to bed or else he'd get the hose. Open door, no sex in the house. If they called his bluff and he found the guy in the bed the next morning, he'd get the hose without waking them, and soak them in the bed, make them both clean it up and then kick the guy out right afterwards.


Also, fyi, parent of the year:

keep'em comin, want to see more examples, and more stories I thrive on this stuff

So, I figured I'd jump on the whole Youtube/Vidme bandwagon but dear god figuring out what to do for my first video is driving me absolute bonkers.

I tend to overthink things in the first place, so its that much harder for me.

How hard was it for you guys to make your first video?

Yes, I like big boobs. But I have a rule when it comes to big boobs. It has to be natural. Fake boobs just look gross to me. If you've had breast cancer then by all means, go for it, its meant for you. Past that though, it just looks like 2 balloons with misplaced nipples and its a huge turn off.

But I'm also a fan of heavier set girls as well. I don't like sticks, and prefer girls who are in the low to mid 200 lbs, and they tend to have natural looking busty breasts(though there are exceptions)

Spider-Man
Venom
Nightcrawler
Invisible Woman
Cable

its alright, nothing special. Their garlic bread is pretty good though.

games can be taught. I can teach anyone how to play any game to the point where they are kicking my ass in minutes.

as for bars? They are expensive and a waste of money. Noisy, and have perverts hitting on people left and right. I prefer to drink at home.

You also only need to be 21 to drink at the bar, if you were just going there to play pool and the like, there shouldn't really be any issues.

That would be USPS or UPS or Fedex who delivers your stuff, not Amazon.

my shit got stolen gawd damnit, that is if TC was in that situation and they didn't deliver where it was safest.

I live in a pretty safe place, so its more convenience than worrying about it getting stolen.

semantics lol

The whole age thing I think of as follows. I'm 31. If a 20 year old and I got into chatting and we had some things in common, I'd actually think about it. Age is just a number, and as long as your not cradle robbing, it should be fine.

Just use common sense. I tend to stick to a 10 year gap when dating though.

so I could tell them to put my packages in the back yard in the small garden box I have on the patio, you know, so no one steals my stuff.

not that its happened yet, just like that option.

if your white and you want to be black, go ahead, go to a tattoo shop and get your entire body tattoed black, just don't be surprised if people stare at your like your a Mr. Popo wannabe.

If a girl wants to be a man, then so be it. Its a choice they have to live with, but you can't just change your race on a whim.

although a fine website, I seriously doubt the onion gives freelance jobs for amateur storytellers.

bump

Anyone know of any? I very much enjoy writing, and would like to try my hand at some free to cheap freelance work to get some practice in and see if it is something I would enjoy doing on the side for extra income(should the opportunity arise)

They did show gameplay footage of God of War

If they did, I don't remember it. It was all cinematic pre-rendered stuff. I'm talking someone physically playing the game on stage.

Pretty terrible. Yes they came out with a couple titles, but Microsofts conference went twice as long, had more games, and a ton of games releasing for this year.

NO:

Bloodborne 2
Red Dead Redemption 2
Last of Us 2

They cheaped out with Shadow of the Colossus, its a damn cop out. Oh look, we took a game from over 10 years ago and remastered it yet again.

Ending with a spiderman game just pissed me off. Especially since they barely broke the hour mark when Microsoft went almost a full 2 hours.

No footage of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Last of Us 2, or any in-game footage of God of War, just damn cinematics.

Dammit man, Ubisoft even kicked their ass with their 45 minute press conference. Sony should publicly apologize for how bad that conference was.

3/10 at most and that's being generous.

No Bloodborne 2
No Last of Us 2

please tell me this isn't the last thing for sonys press conference.... Microsofts went 2 hours with a half hour pre-show, this is barely an hour and a half with preshow.

They had a return of Crash, Yu Suzuki bringing back Shenmue 3 and then FF7: Remake, along with Kingdom Hearts 3. Sony would have to pull out something major in order for it to even come close to last year.

I'm happy with seeing new footage either way of all those games, but I do wonder how or if they will try to compete with Microsoft this year.

I would like to see them show off a Super Slim PS4 the size of the Slim PS2, but that isn't going to happen, as well as gain the rights to Portal 3, but again, Gabe can't count to 3.

I would love a new series similar to the .hack series.

I'm not on the east coast of America, I'm in Canada, probably should have specified, but its done now. I'm closing the topic when I can.

Also, Microsoft's E3 conference was at 5pm yesterday on the east coast

Your clocks need to be CLEANED

Atlantic time, not Eastern. Atlantic is 1 hour difference, so it would be 6 pm.

I literally can't. I work early morning shifts.

DuranOfForcena posted...

it's at 6 pm PDT. that would mean on the east coast it will be at 9, not 10.

well I'm looking at the Youtube E3 page which translates it to our time and it still says 10 for me.

Jesus people are entitled

I'm not entitled, never have been, never will be. I'm just pointing out a view that it should be earlier in the day, that's all.

That's Bethesda. They aren't part of the main 3.

I also stayed up for that press conference, it wasn't impressive.

Its 10 pm here on the east coast. I've heard its something like 4 or 5 in the morning in Great Britain. Microsofts was alright at a 6 pm timeline, so there is no actual reason why Ubisoft couldn't have had their press conference later in the day. Its not like they will be showing us anything that we haven't already heard or seen.
