Duff Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'd be much more inclined to hire the person who could point out Florida on a blank map than a person who couldn't... Why should that be more of a priority than their actual qualifications? Because it shows that their overall knowledge is poor. This.Not at all. You're basing someone's 'overall knowledge' on whether they know the states or not? That'd be one stupid employer. Anyway, we focus learning a specific subject (i.e. majoring in something) because we want a job that needs that knowledge, and not knowledge of other subjects. You think NASA is going to care if someone doesn't know where all 50 states are when they know all about dense non-aqueous phase liquids? I mean, really. | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity?

Surprise Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Confession, I waste of lot of time in memories e.g. I spent the past hour trying to figure out what tube station I was in on the 14th November at 11:27 am. I can remember the station perfectly just not the bloody name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Secret: I was walking from the food commons with two friends, and we were just looking around as we walked, and we caught sight of a topless girl in her dorm room (she wasn't facing the window). And I stared for a bit. Don't tell anyone, seriously. It's been pretty tough for me since then. | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zierro Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 But you're good enough where you can taunt them and kick their ass, too. I think I painted the wrong picture. I don't go around taunting people in hopes that they will get upset - I reciprocate what I see from internet sadists by beating them at their own game. In order to achieve this, I must A) legitimately hit them in their soft spot by gathering little tidbits of personal information based on their insults directed at me/others, and B) prove to them that they are nothing but laymen in the field of pejoratives (insult their insult style).

Definitely more intelligent and funny than just yelling, "LOL I [bleep]ED YOUR MOM!"

Nomrombom Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I don't have much money, but when I buy stuff, I buy good stuff. For example - my headset is TB's PX21s which were like 80$? Earbuds are Klipsch S4 (80$) an HVY bong for 120$ (I could have bought a few that were like 60-80$ but they're much lower quality) my laptop is from Lenovo and has 4 GB RAM, Win7, an i3 and a Radeon 6570 (I applaud you if you understand that all), and my new soldering iron should be arriving by Wednesday, I could have bought one that did the same thing for about 15$, but I went for the higher quality and probably much better customer service and bought a Hakko for 29$.

No, not even thinkpads are high quality, it's with the letters you find in the model. For example they rencently discontinued their G models on thinkpads, one of the only good models. I have no idea about your model though if it's good quality or not, so yeah, an upgrade from a compaq is definitely good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
