I had the same feeling after graduating with my degree, so I totally get what you're going through.

I was fully qualified to design an entire car for a large company... but deep down? I still felt like a hapless student :o

Not quite the same as being responsible for someone's life, but still terrifying. The thought that anyone would trust me with that... It's mind blowing.

I'm the opposite to most people, really enjoyed SS and TP (SS beating TP), but couldn't stand OoT when it first came out. I did enjoy the 3DS one, though.

I think if you go into them with an open mind as I did, you'll really enjoy SS and TP. They're both wonderful games. It just goes to show how influential a few negative people on the internet can be.

Btw, I always wash my hands after using a public restroom, but a lot of other guys don't. Do you think they're just lazy or dirty?

You see this a lot in the UK, nobody bothers to wash their hands and a load of toilets stink of piss.

When I went to Italy, I didn't see a single person leave without washing their hands thoroughly, it was refreshing to see actually.

As cliche as it sounds, it stops bothering you when you learn to accept it.

Somebody said to me once, you can't fight anxiety, because fighting to get something is the very thing that causes the anxiety.

In other words, you'll learn to relax, when you can break the viscous circle that causes you the worry.

3/5 from me, but I couldn't decide between 3 and 4.

I don't think I'll ever manage to beat that final boss - I refuse to use the save states, to me that's cheating :P

1. If I upload them today, but change their date, will people still know that I uploaded them today? Or would they think I did it years ago?

2. Is there a way to upload them without it being plastered all over friends notifications?

I don't understand it, either. I'd rather the whole family lived together in one household, like we used to in the past. Family is precious, but not everybody seems to see it that way these days.

I think it comes down to the fact that western society's way of thinking tends to be more individual (selfish?), whereas a lot of other places tend to focus more on brotherhood.

Really? I thought Hispanics originated when Arabs from north Africa mixed with the European whites.

man, let's just say literally all of that is wrong. I would explain but it would take too long right now


Ah okay. I didn't know for sure. But I know here in Europe, Spain and Portugal both have some Arab influence in their culture from the distant past, I assumed it was the same for the people. I don't know much American history but I know Latin America was invaded by the Portuguese and Spanish.
