Plugpoint Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Today I had my best day of work ever. "Ask him to show you his party trick. Not telling you what it is. Just ask him.""Alright... Can you show us your party trick?""Sure..." *kicks himself in the face* Laughed for 45 minutes straight. Best thing I've ever seen in my life.

champion Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 ^ Interesting. Might I ask how you conditioned yourself to make this change?Bit hard to articulate, but it's kind of like music. It takes some searching, but there's so much out there that there's bound to be something that matches your interests, tastes, and personality. Once you learn some of the basics of fashion with fit, color, etc, you'll start to develop a more discerning eye. It can become a bit of a hobby after that. I personally became more interested and aware of the things I was wearing after browsing fashion blogs and discussion boards like /fa/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obfuscator Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I don't mind clothes shopping at all, provided it takes a reasonable amount of time...which is no more than 3 stores, five minutes each.

This. ^ I used to dislike clothes shopping, and I was kind of indifferent about what I was wearing. Then, I went shopping with one of my friends, and we got some classy attire. Ever since, I have enjoyed shopping for clothing whether it be something casual or something more formal. But first, you have to find your style.

Randox Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 For the clothes shopping, the key really is giving a damn. If your interested in the clothes, then your going to enjoy picking them out. If you can combine this with keeping the time spent searching to a reasonable duration, your golden. I also find that as people get older they start to care a bit more about what they wear (and the people who never do are really easy to spot). I think clothes shopping automatically becomes more interesting as you get older, for most people. And I fixed the link on the last page. I guess I need to switch the editor mode from now on when doing links like that, since the forums really want to just turn the text into a link for me, and the last time I wanted that to happen was never. Today I discovered that our fair city actually does have something like a, I guess makeout or lookout point. A little tiny park that leads out to a spectacular view, and is commonly used as a party spot for probably teenagers. The view is spectacular though, and I might pull some from my phone later. Also seems to be a good spot for rock climbing if you've got the equipment. Nice spot though, I think knowledge of its existence is pretty much limited to locals, and friends of locals.

Star. Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Going all the way to town to visit the library and get a milkshake. Reading on a laptop and spending other countless hours doing random stuff on the laptop royally messes up your eyes. I can't see things from a distance as well as I could. A prime example of 'distance' being the space between our sofa and living room TV. Gonna pick me up some Margaret Atwood if our minuscule library has it in stock. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champion Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 "Twice as many bird species inhabit Ecuador _______ North America." a. as inhabitb. than I'm having a bit of a tough time with this SAT writing practice question. I had narrowed down the choices to these two options quite easily. The correct answer is a. I was debating between the two for quite a while before deciding on b. Choice "a" seemed too awkward in phrasing, but after reading this question over and over they both seem strange. Can someone explain to me why "than" would be wrong? It definitely seems wrong to me now, but I can't give a good reason as to why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some questions really don't have "wrong" answers which is why some sections will say "pick the best answer". I hate SATs. Waste of time, money, and resources. It doesn't even prove anything in my opinion. Quote Quote Anyone who likes tacos is incapable of logic. Anyone who likes logic is incapable of tacos.

It sounds clumsy, but not wrong. b sounds wrong to me. it should be "Twice as many birds inhabit Ecuador than inhabit North America" If you leave out the verb it sounds unrelated.

obfuscator Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yeah, I'd say a is just "more correct". I think it makes the sentence easier to understand because the repetition of the verb serves as a reminder of the point of comparison..

Today it went a bit further and was unable to generate enough electricity to keep the engine running. On the bright side, this means we can put one of the better ones in the water over the weekend I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
