Twice..

First time in NJ... Spoke to the prosecutor before hand and talked down the ticket to a lesser offense with a higher fine

Second time in NY.. No option to plea down.. Cop showed up.. His word against mine. He gave his memorized account that he literally repeated word for word with every other case that day...I lost and had to pay an additional court fee.

I hope so. The stand alone episodes were far more memorable and funny in my opinion.
Series format just got boring and repetitive.

Buy 6 houses for your friends / family with the arrangement that they will retain ownership in exchange for you being able to stay over whenever you like. 6 houses because of the being able to go back to a city once per year rule.

Furnish all six houses the way you like and bounce back forth every month. 10 Billion is essentially unlimited money so none of this should be an issue.

People compare the two because they are fantasy but I personally feel that the two are very different types of fantasy..It's like comparing apples and oranges...Most people that I know who love GoT didn't like LoTR because it was too nerdy for them.

I don't feel that people should be treated poorly for their weight but, at the same time, I don't feel that weight gain should be encouraged or normalized.

Agreed.

So the girl initiates physical violence, calls the police and says the guy is trespassing so he has to leave, and then expects him to continue paying for an apartment he can't live in? She's living in a fantasy world.

I know 7-10 dollars an hour isn't really good, but what about 11 and beyond?

Every $1 per hour is approx $2K a year given a 40 hour work week (before taxes)
"Good" in my mind means that you're making more than you are spending. So whatever you spend, make sure you're making more than that

that didn't answer my question

Ok. Then no. 11 is not good

I'm in the midst of learning it right now, actually. Started back in February. I can hold very simple conversations now, but I'm still a long ways off from true fluency. In terms of characters, I know ~250 kanji, which is roughly a tenth of the common usage characters.

My advice:
-Your very first purchase should be a kana guide and your first exercise should be to memorize all of them, including the proper stroke order. Hiragana first, then katakana next (92 characters total). These are the building blocks of the entire Japanese language (akin to the Western alphabet) and you use them constantly (Hiragana especially).

-Figure out whether you want to speak Japanese, read Japanese, write Japanese, or all of the above, because they all require slightly different skillsets. You can be great at written Japanese and hopeless at conducting an actual conversation and vice versa.

-Flash cards are a godsend for learning Kanji. Don't bother wasting money on buying a pre-made set; learn the characters and make your own. Way cheaper and it helps with memorization.

-Use some form of audial learning as well (I use Rosetta Stone and a couple of other programs) - some parts of Japanese pronunciation are very difficult to describe without hearing them (lengthening vowels, the tendencies for "u" sounds to be minimized, etc.)

-Try and find someone who knows Japanese. Even if they won't teach/tutor you, you can still use them to figure out if you're saying something you shouldn't be (appropriate level of formality, correct gendering, etc.)

-On that note, Japanese is a highly gendered language. There are some things that men say that women never do and vice versa (for instance, men use the phrase "boku" to refer to themselves in Japanese, while women use "atashi"; both can use the slightly more formal "watashi"). Be aware of that, because it can get you into trouble - I used to attend a cooking class with some Japanese women, who would teach me bits and phrases. Occasionally I'd repeat one of them to a friend of mine who spoke Japanese, eliciting a chuckle and a comment along the lines of "You've been talking with your girlfriends again, haven't you?" - his code for telling me I was speaking like a woman, at which point I'd have to ask him how to say the phrase like a man would. Random aside - I saw an old samurai movie a month ago (can't remember the name) that very clearly had a female translator, because the gruff, hyper-masculine samurai protagonist was talking (in Japanese) like the most flamboyant gay guy you've ever heard. It was an absolute riot.

-Similarly, formality is very important in Japanese. There's sometimes literally dozens of ways to say the same thing, depending on how formal you want to be. Always err on the side of politeness, but learn the various forms so you don't come off like a complete stiff.

I've started with Hiragana and it's slow going.. Kanji looks scary as hell. Seems to me that they are essentially emoji's, but other than memorization, I can't find a logical way to interpret the characters that I can recognize. Guess this is why Japanese students study in a repetitive manner for years!

I don't have an opinion on him but I don't think he should have to open the doors to his church to shelter anyone. That's UT1999 posted...

keyblader1985 posted...

I was indifferent to him up until now, but not opening his Thunderdome to hurricane victims until pressured to was a dick move.


well i heard an interview that he gave yesterday and he said "what if we did open up our doors and the building was flooded and a bunch of people got hurt or something" this kinda made sense to me

I don't have an opinion on the guy but it's not like he's the only one who could provide shelter for people displaced by the storm..Why single out this guy when there are millions of people who can also provide shelter in their own homes but choose not to?

Funny I thought for sure that all Trump's tough talk would have stopped them.

Perhaps you'd prefer a leader that gives in to anyone showing aggression. Maybe a polite, "please stop" would work? Perhaps a colorful fingerpainting of everyone holding hands is the answer to nuclear threats?

1/10 . Bad acting, and the writing was atrocious. The whole movie felt rushed and was missing everything that made the anime interesting.

Basically, one of the only people I like at work is leaving (or I have a feeling they are as it would be a great time to leave anyway and they're being suspicious)

Anyway my job is severely understaffed. There is no way in hell I'm going to make it until next March without the other person as they were the only person who helped and I will most likely be the new in charge

So basically I will leave my team severely screwed (would go from team of 4 to 2). I think this would send a very clear message that the job needs to seriously reevaluate management. The way they treat workers is pretty ridiculous (One very good example is this guy who is awesome helping my team out. He told my boss he was working way more hours he was told originally and my boss flat out said "what did you expect, we're understaffed - aka they lied) I think they continue to do this because, well, situations like this never happen where people just say fuck it and leave them screwed

My issue: you get the stigma that millennials can't handle "real jobs" but truth is, most people saying that are just assholes trying to justify being an asshole. However my resume won't say that and the only interviews where this story will work is people who've been in this situation/understanding or if I just say this job wasn't for me, which is a real crapshoot answer

What would you do? btw after typing this I realized that I'm definitely leaving. Gotta love Corporate America #noregrets

Tell possible employers that you're looking for a position in which there is room for advancement, and that in your current position there's currently no room for growth".. It's a valid reason for leaving any place.
