    Misused Terms You're Sick of Seeing

    Oh, and my addition to the OP. Troll: It doesn't just mean someone being a jerk on the internet. We call those people "jerks", or perhaps other more colourful terms. capcha: take umbrage

    Misused Terms You're Sick of Seeing

    Unfortunately the coiner of the term used it specifically to describe himself as other than theist, atheist, ect. Use the term as you will but I see no reason to call people "morons" for using it as they will, and not incorrectly at that.

    Are you drawn particularly to certain features in romantic interests?

    I like red hair (bottle or natural, doesn't matter), curly hair, freckles, glasses, and nice cheek bones. I usually don't find myself very attracted to blonds. Ultimately I don't really care though. I've been attracted to plenty of blonds and women with none of the aforementioned traits...

    How to deal with socially alward guy at gym?? talks about marios privates and such

    Have you tried "You do realize the stuff you talk about is creepy as hell right?" If he's willing, helping the guy get over his socially awkward issues might be better than simply avoiding him. Of course he might just be the sort that likes to mess with people's heads. In which case you...

    Crap employment history, but I need a job

    This is funny. Nearly everyone with whom I have ever discussed prospective employment opportunities and interviews I'm going to have told me to lie and/or exaggerate my qualifications. I've never done so. The closest I've come to doing so was to leave out the reason for my being laid off from...

    Advice for Californa written test for drivers license.

    Just look out for the things that people tell you are allegedly the law which are not, in fact, the law. Some people have strange ideas of what traffic law is and they may have infected your brain with those wrong ideas. Otherwise, it's pretty damn easy. edit: Btw, I am Californian and took...

    I'm an American, how can I get my hands on British chocolate?

    Down the street from me there is a little fish and chips shop that has several imported English food items including candies. The largest selection of chocolate they have seems to be Cadbury though I imagine it is probably, as noted in an earlier post, not the same stuff you see labeled as...

    Looking for additional gaming/geek sites

    http://geekandsundry.com/ The site is mostly for the purpose of promoting the Geek&Sundry youtube channel (note: Space Janitors is part of their channel now) but they also have a fairly active forum community for discussion of both the shows as well as miscellaneous geekiness, geek events, etc...

    How likely is it that I'd be turned down a job for a tattoo?

    I know several people who have quite a few tattoos and the vast majority of them are covered up. I recently got my first tattoo and it is on my upper arm where it will be covered pretty much always since I don't wear tank tops. I have my next tattoo already designed and it will be on the...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 6: F.Z.Z.T.

    For me... I don't think it's bad but I don't think it's "Awesome!" either. It just seems like a better and well funded version of other similar shows. And that "better" is only starting to emerge as it really seemed to be about the same quality as those other shows at the start. More Coulson...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 4: Eye Spy

    The only bit that seemed off to me was that only a handful of people seemed mildly curious about these guys. I'd think people would be at least somewhat more interested in such a spectacle. Amador's emphatic reiteration seemed a pretty clear indication that she meant she'd seen something with...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Review - Episode 1: Pilot

    It's not unusual for agencies to use multiple stylized emblems. I did quick searches for Navy Emblem [https://www.google.com/search?q=navy+emblem&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=1CZJUsSqCIGGyAGJ5YHwBA&sqi=2&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1173&bih=553&dpr=1.09] and Seals Emblem...

    The Big Picture: You Are Wrong About Sucker Punch, Part One

    I don't think I am going to read through all of the pages of this discussion but it seems that many of the complaints about the movie being brought up are people not appreciating the role of those elements. That may be because they didn't "get it" or it may be that they just didn't like the use...

    Looking for Military/Strategy Books

    I have a friend who was so into tanks and armored infantry in highschool that went he went into the military he seriously opted down among the available positions, based on his test scores, to be a tanker. He was slightly disappointed about the job he wound up with. He sat on his bum at a base...

    House hunting

    http://www.inbrief.co.uk/property-law/landlord-and-tenant-rights.htm Try here maybe. Your best course of action is to educate yourself as well as reasonably possible rather than rest your fate upon the knowledge of someone else even if that person happens to be from your student union and...
