The Thinking Out Loud Thread V.2

[Roxie]

...Can women apologize?

Hmmm....why am I leading towards no?
yes. girls, however, you never know..

[FistsofFury]

Shhhhhhh! Shut up! What're you, nuts?! Next you'll be saying Christmas is just for presents! You trying to ruin it for the rest of us?


At least we all know what Christmas used to be about? 420 is just a big excuse to get high. Wait...let me do some research:

Urban Dictionary says:




So far the majority of you are incorrect.
420's origin IS known.
the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent on developing their own discreet language, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation.
So there ya go, someone's parents out there invented the term 4/20.
And remember this:
There are NOT 420 chemicals in Weed. It's about 315, the num. goes up or down depending on what you're smoking.
4/20 is NOT police code or Maryjane.
And that whole shit about Holland and 4/20 over there being "tea time" for smokers isn't true either.

I know my shit.


...that went well.

Soo....should I quit my job (http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3078226#post3078226) or what?

Anybody ever go to Ross? I went in to get a job app. today. Im surprised they are still in business to be honest.

Ross just feels like a extended version of the clothing section of Wal-Mart.

yes, Rox. Call Centers suck tremendous amounts of ass. I've come to the conclusion that there really is no such thing as a call center job that's a "good job". In fact, I'm currently in the mood to slice the skin off someone and make a jacket out of it...that's how much work has been aggravating me lately. Work plus the fact that comcast decided to never change over my account info to this apartment....and I know for sure this will end in the worst way possible(*like me having to pay for this goddamn bitch's bill AND my bill, most likely. This is how you predict what happens in life...simply ask "what's the worst that can happen?", and there's your answer as to what's going to happen.)

Respectful Workplace Training was today....oh the bullshit in there was amusing. I tried to keep silent, but one guy kept getting at a point that motivated me to voice my true belief---that all these "harassment" policies/procedures have effectively DESTROYED male/female interaction in the workplace, and thus...it is why the most we will say to you(ladies) is "Hi." these days. Because you can just decide you're offended if we say ANYFUCKINGTHING else. He was making the same point, really...and it kinda hyped me up to say something and acknowledge I was on the same page with him. I stopped myself before going off on a nice, *colorful* rant though. I think the best statement he made to basically sum it up was "well, EVERYTHING is a 'violation', then."

[phae]

I finally went to ChinaTownFair. Its cool and all but it smells like Poopoo gas. And since it was hot today I think I got it the worse.

Just you wait until July and August - go on a Friday, you'll regret it.

kcxj, the stuff you write in your blog sounds alot like the stuff I do, in terms of making girls laugh. And you work in a casino? All this time i could've sworn you were talking about some college or large office building...

short story: I go to a ~respected~ engineering university located somewhere in NYC. Its name will not be mentioned here for...reasons. Party school? Hardly. Go around the school and you'll most likely find people gathered round with their laptops playing starcraft or WOW. This also explains the large asian AND male population. (i picked the WRONG damn college. I beat myself over this every day.) Well gotta improvise right? So I go about making friends with just about any girl I come in contact with, sometimes eat with them, etc.

So I brought some girl over to a party thingy they were having yesterday, ditched all my friends to sit and talk to her. Good time. Afterward... my nerdy friends (the guys who play rpgs ALL DAY) say things which basically summed up to "you're talking to a girl!!!" My response: "is that a bad thing?"

It's like kindergarten again.

It doesn't bother me at all. More girls for me. But why the hell would any group of guys have a kindergarten mentality makes me laugh.

Wow that story was longer than it should have been.



And I don't play video games/watch anime/whatever in public.

I work in a call centre. I would say my job is tolerable. Hell, the job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers.

in all seriousness, it's a really good job and it pays pretty damn well.

I didn't get the job I interviewed for last week, boo-urns :sad:

Having worked for a call center myself, I can wholeheartedly agree that the jobs, indeed, suck ass.

Yo fuck abs

I like my men stocky. Seriously. If a man is built he's just eye candy but I wouldn't fuck him or even consider a relationship. Friends, maybe. But none of the good shit.

It's how my family is - my family is full of big people (not generally fat, but just slightly overweight), and for a lot of my life I was pretty big too - this right now (135) is the skinniest i've been in a while.

Back in December when I bought those smaller jeans? I can now slide out of them without fucking unbuttoning/unzippering them. Fuck, gotta get new jeans again. :annoy:

I'm just speaking for myself though - I'd prefer a guy who would sit and watch anime with me, teach me how to play some video games i'm bad at, and we could toss knowledge at each other. It's why I like the guy i'm with now, he's a wealth of knowledge waiting to be tapped - and the shit he doesn't know.. I know. :rock:

It was 80 degrees here today - I go shopping for a bathing suit tomorrow. You guys might just get pics because I am fucking full of myself. :encore:

A study confirms what I've been saying all along. (http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1860678&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312) The Japanese suck at sex. This is why I really don't understand Yellow Fever, their looks are based on fiction, the attitudes are no better/easier than Western women (and in some ways more difficult) and here you go - they suck at sex too. It's like actually wanting to play Battle Arena Toshinden over SFA2/3.

I know I definitely have an at least mild eating disorder: I am a binge eater. It's funny because I am 5'8", used to weight 238lbs, now weigh 162, but I never ate like a roller coaster when I was fat...I just ate good tasting fatty foods and didn't get any excercise.

Now all I do is dietdietdiet and then COMPLETELY CRASH and spend 1 or two days stuffing as much junk food in my fucking gullet as I can because I have such strong food cravings. I know exactly what I'm doing as it's going on, but I simply cannot fucking help myself. The urge to eat as much calories is frightening... I want food that tastes good, and LOTS OF IT.

So I diet hardcore and lose maybe 5-10lbs, and then gain back 6-8 in a two day period, wash rinse, repeat. I know this shit is unhealthy but all I care about honestly is not being fat anymore, because even though I am still a little chubby, my life has improved overall in ways you cannot fucking imagine just by not being obese anymore.

So now when I have my binge that I can't help because I can't control myself, sometimes I feel bad and I upchuck. Maybe in the past two years, I've done it 10 times total, so that's about every couple months on average.

I think my binge eating is more unhealthy than my purging an unhealthy amount of calories honestly. I seriously have something wrong with me, because food shouldn't give anyone as much pleasure as it gives me. I think I must be a Supertaster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_taster).

I wish I could fucking fix myself, because if I don't constantly diet I know I'll fucking balloon up back to a huge fatass because of my inhuman appetite, and my life will suck even worse than it does now, which is fairly moderately.

edit: Holy fuck, from wiki on supertasters:

"Although not directly harmful, being a supertaster is not without some risk. A tendency to dislike certain generally beneficial foods such as green vegetables and grapefruit can make supertasters face additional risk for the conditions these foods prevent."

Nothing is more disgusting to me than grapefruit, I literally cannot comprehende how another human being could willfully digest it...and I also hate 99.9999% of all veggies.

Well, it's not just vanity that I want to lose weight. While I *DO* want to be comfortable at the beach with my shirt off (I am almost there honestly, but I think my skin is saggy from losing almost 80lbs, I look fatter than I actually am), I also really, really really cannot live with myself if I don't get in better shape and start training so I can fight either in boxing or MMA while I am still young. I would be a regretful old man if I never got to fight.

I got the TBP of The Ultimates today...the comic shop downtown opened back up again, after being down for a few years...didn't see the Avengers (or was it Ultimates?)/JLU crossover that I heard was The Shit. This comic...so far...if someone could make this into a movie and keep the same feeling, it would easily be the best comic movie, ever. I don't even think you could fit it into 2 hours, it would have to be a miniseries. Hot. There was an Ultimates animated movie that came out a few months ago...anyone know if it was any good? I doubt it stacks up.


Az- people like asian girls because they have funny eyes. That's pretty much what I've decided. There's a bunch of flowery terms people will throw around...they're "exotic-looking," etc, but they have weird eyes, and smallish noses (sometimes). That's basically it. And also they're (the fanboys) anime dorks. ...just saying.

What I don't get is why people aren't into the darker-skinned asians more. I've seen some Indonesian girls who were looking NICE. And an Indian girl who's hot is HOT. Of course, a lot of those women are hit or miss...either a 9 or a 2, but nothing in between.


SRK. Man. Sometimes I see threads with bullshit in them that I want to correct but it's like...I don't care. I just...don't care. There could be a thread aboout how the earth was square, and how George Bush was responsible for Pearl Harbor and I'd just be like....eh. I don't have it in me.


Is it wrong that I want to bang Genkai from Yuyu Hakusho? Because I'm saying...I mean...she looks like she could put it on you. I mean she's like 85, so it would be hella wrong...but...you know. I'm just saying.

Alright, this gorgeous Korean woman in my area accepted the friend request. I fucked up big time with the last three women I emailed, so I'm going to hold off before emailing this one. Do some more reading, listening, and/or learning from my friends first.

A big tip I got recently is that you only want to have two or three pictures of yourself max on your profile, so that's exactly what I did.

What a pleasant suprise to come home from work tonight and see that this girl has added me (she only has 20-something other friends on her list too, so you know she's not an attention/friend whore).

Let's see how far I can take this.

------

The real reason I've been looking at online dating recently:

I haven't written it down yet, but I'm a feeling a little down on my luck today. I was thinking about how the two women at work that respond the most positively to me are 1.) both older and 2.) it seems as if they might have some personal issues going on.

... not to mention both are in committed relationships already, so there's always the chance the women are getting bored or the boyfriends/husbands are becoming unattractive pussies, and guys like me are starting to become attractive for no other reason.

I don't know if it's exactly a scientifically proven fact or not, but yeah, I agree.

I fell in love with this one girl at work because she has these big huge, anime character eyes. Plus her name is "Xu" too. It's the same name as one of the cute girl NPC characters in the Final Fantasy 8 RPG I was addicted to before.

Again, a complete stranger, and I had no other reason for being attracted to this girl other than her eyes and what her nametag said on it.

I saw her again yesterday for the first time in 9 months (even since she switched to day shift).

She's wearing nerd glasses, gained about 30 pounds (including a "new" chin), and her cousin told me she's had a baby recently, but I was still was attracted at how cute her eyes are and I flirted with her anyway.

short story: I go to a ~respected~ engineering university located somewhere in NYC. Its name will not be mentioned here for...reasons. Party school? Hardly.

TS - I think what it is, is that Japan does a wonderful job of brainwashing the West. If not brainwashing, then just building a fantasy-image and hyping it up. It's almost masterful.

--------------------------

My weight has fluctuated a lot over the years. Three years ago, I was kind of big. I think I was about 260 - I had man tits, a huge stomach, and this wide, bloated face. I took a lot of shit for it (...in Japan) so I got serious and started working out. I'd gotten pretty slim until I broke my collarbone and was on the shelf for 4 months or so. I didn't get as big as I was before, but I could definitely feel my face widening. I'm busting my ass again and am slimming down, plus putting on some tone.

I've had a gut ever since high school. I've always hated it - wore clothes that wouldn't give it away, and sucked in a lot. I don't over-eat (but I used to eat a lot of junk back in the states) but I think it's just genetically pre-disposed. Most of the people on Mom's side of the family are packing a few pounds/obese. It just means I'm gonna have to work harder than others I guess. But I'm already 25 - halfway through my 20's - and I don't want to spend another year with a body shape I'm not comfortable with.

[Bowling Pin]

I think I found him. The Iron Hans inside of me. If you are unfamiliar with Iron Hans, it's a fairy tale about a child prince who ventures into a forest and finds a wild man his father locked away beneath a pond years before. His name was Iron Hans, because his crimson hair resembled the rust of the iron chains which constricted him. Iron Hans also has the prince's prized possession with him; a golden ball which is his favorite plaything. In short, it's a story that's a parable for the journey of manhood; a boy must come in contact with his primordial beast in order to become a whole human being.

Tonight I was distressed over something. A childhood friend who I had been cool with suddenly hated me. It was enough to bum me out. I went outside and leaned against a brick wall. Cold rain drizzled, lightning sheared the sky, and the night's thunder echoed my heartbeat. I puffed a cigarette, hoping the poisonous fumes would resonate in my skull and inspire me to do something. Anything. So I finally found the strength to do something for myself. I found the strength to sit down.

Instead of leaning against a wall standing up, I now leaned against a wall sitting down. I was lost; I remembered that this wasn't the first time a good friend snubbed me. I was convinced now that it was the duty of all people close to me to eventually abandon me. I shut my eyes and I spoke thoughts to myself, hoping that another voice would answer.

"Stare into your eyelids. Absorb yourself in darkness."

I had already done so. I ask the voice, "who are you?"

"You found me. What shall I do for you tonight?" I tell the voice that I want my golden ball; the one I lost years ago. "Then open your eyes. I need you to conduct a demonstration for me." I do so, and the blackness of shut eyes gives way to the blackness of my jacket.

"Stare into the fibers. Absorb yourself in them. This is subtly different from the darkness in your eyes; the darkness in your self." The voice is right. I see the nips of threads and fibers used to weave the jacket, probably by machine. "Isn't this sight familiar to you? These individual threads woven together."

I recognize it immediately. "People," I respond. "They are people."

"People are connected like the threads of your clothes. If the threads choose to remain on the coat, they must choose to cling to the others."

"Against their will," I say. "But people disconnect from each other all the time in the real world."

"You see that the clothes are as dark as your inside. However, the only person that may ever penetrate that darkness... is whoever the darkness belongs to. You won't be the one to save people from despair. Now that we have established that, their threads were stretched as the clothes were. They must now cling to other threads, as you must now care for different people."

It shouldn't be like that. People are different; they should be able to care for each other throughout their entire lives. What am I going to do when the time comes to abandon the people I know already?

"You will do as you've done before. Find new threads to grasp... that's the fate of the Wandering Jew. Everyone is an immortal who outlives their friends, or the bonds between them. But you have another issue to deal with."

Yes, I did. I loved my friend who snubbed me. I loved all of the friends who have learned to live without me. Now I detest them for showing me a truth I fought so hard against.

"Shut your eyes one more time."

I do so.

"Now clasp your hands together. Open your eyes."

Through crossed eyes I see two pairs of clasped hands. I know immediately what these hands are. "These are Love and Hate."

"Yes. Love and Hate are forever united. However, you have crossed your eyes and now your emotions are fragmented. Focus your vision. Focus your mind. You see now that they are one pair of clasped hands."

"Love and Hate together. Only one." I stare at the hands longer, and as if the sky's lightning is reflected between my palms, I see what binds the two together.

"If Love and Hate are one, what are your hands called now? What binds Love and Hate?"

"...it's Faith. Faith is the difference between Love and Hate. When your Faith is broken, your hands seperate. Seperate hands can only make fists to destroy creation. When your Faith is justified... the two hands can only create. The fate of Faith determines either love or hate."

"Very good! What do you intend to do with Faith?"

I can't answer the voice. I lost my Faith long ago.

"Not all people are the same. You certainly aren't. You trust your friends more than they trust themselves."

What do I do with this? Is this supposed to keep me from getting hurt anymore?

"You'll always be hurt. But it takes courage to have this emotion for others. Faith. A person can make you love them or hate them, but only you can give them trust."

"Then what should I trust people with?!"

"Trust that people will continue to live. Trust that you will continue to breathe and fight until you relinquish your ghost. Have Faith that you will appreciate the good in people and stop taking to heart only the bad. This truth is a truth only for you."

And he was right. This advice probably wasn't applicable for anyone; but for me... I was compelled to get up and walk. I paced back and forth, pondering the implications this had for me: Faith. So I spoke with the voice only once more.

"You're him, aren't you? You're really him. You're my Iron Hans."

"Yes. I am the spirit of mankind that even Adam had to inherit."

"So, are you and I, one now? Am I united with myself and all my wills?"

"You wish! You will have to seek me out again in the future. But now you are finally on the path to your own self improvement. Seek me again when you are at a loss, because you truly do know all the answers you need."

"...thank you, Iron Hans."

And with that, I was able to walk with my chin up. I had to continue having faith... that no matter who they currently are, I would have a friend to believe in.

n.
One who admires and supports Black people and their culture.

I think that definition is a little soft. To me a negrophile is someone that needs to GET OUT MAH BIDNESS. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp5y54oYaok&search=Business%20punch)

Yo, that place sounds so free it's not even funny. Walk all over these fucking losers and take the women THEY should be having, but they're too busy with Counterstrike instead.

Wanna trade?

I get to game at your school, you come here and to work Cafeteria 1 and the poker room instead.

Oh yeah, it's free alright. a lot people just don't know how to talk to girls at all, or they're so into their games. Some guy I know is friends with a cute phillipino girl but when she's talking to him all he does is stare intently at his laptop (playing his stupid mmorpg). wtffffffffffffff???

classes are sometimes even worse. I have one class with a good guy-girl ratio (4 of each...small class), and the guys will litterally sit with a bufferzone around the girls. lol. Now around the third or so class of the semester I moved my ass to sit between two girls that sat alone together. It's all been good since then. :clap:

I'd take any offer to leave in a heartbeat. Its just that bad.

Girls know what engineering is?

You know, I was asking the same thing when I found out the anime club has a girl in it. No, not hot.

about 3/4s of the population are guys.

Now i've learned something here. Girls here have either a) brains or b) beauty, but NOT both at the same time. Whenever I make friends with an attractive girl, she usually drops the class by the time the withdrawal deadline comes along :sad: And the really hot girls ALWAYS have a harem of guys with them at all times, making any contact with them really hard. The smart girls....really depends (*i'm not shallow, but wouldn't touch a fat girl. And sometimes a girl is just too hideous for her personality to make up for*). Some smart girls are cool (maybe even cute too), and others really lack people skills and common sense just like the guys.

whatever. i'll say it for the Nth time, FUCK *School name withheld*

I will fucking admit that I have almost no people skills in real life.

When you've been at a PC since 1st grade you'd have no fucking people skills too. It's because my dad always told me to "be honest" with people, so i am honest.

And it gets me in trouble because I will say what's on my mind immediately. People ask "Hey Marilyn what's on your mind" and I will flat out say it.

example:
person: "Hey Marilyn what'cha thinkin about you look preoccupied."
me: "Well, I was thinking about [insert person] and how she's a dumb cunt because everyone knows all her buisness."
person: "wtf."

My favorite is when someone asks me something about another person or asks me for my opinion.. and I tell them what i know about said person, and then said person gets mad for me blabbing. Bitch you didn't fucking tell me not to say anything and even then I aint lying for you unless you put money in my hand. Fuck that noise, I aint lyin for you.

At least you aren't lying. Personally, I'd rather hear the truth rather than some weak version of what you're really thinking. I think I'd get along with you in real life because I like honest people, I'm the same way. Last time someone said "Hey inverse what's on your mind?" At the time, I was thinking about naked ladies, a song that's stuck in my head, and I was wondering what would happen if trees could poo. I just said "Nothing."

Which leads to many other questions.......

Why don't they

-Major in engineering
-Enjoy a science class that's not psychology
-Play video games
-Collect comics
-Enjoy car specs

Well, a lot of women are raised by other women, so it's just a really long line of "wtf"

I was raised by my gamer of a father, so I lucked out. My mom is also a gamer too, and she and my uncle are both avid comic fans - my mom is into Lady Death and shit like that, and my Uncle goes nuts for spiderman and x-men. He was thrilled when I said I started reading x-men.

ever heard of tact? a little decorum can go a long way.

i find that when you're running in a fairly large group of friends, the best policy is to withhold any sensitive secrets so no one gets tripped up. i have kept literally hundreds of secrets over the years. i tend to forget the majority of them. i keep the juicy ones locked away until i feel the need to drop a bombshell on someone. it's like cashing in your social credits. if you use up all your tokens by blabbing your mouth every time you hear something about someone, you won't have anything to spend when the shit hits the fan.

[FistsofFury]

*whispers to Tuff*

She's from New York. She can't help it;P

Right now I'm trying to expand my contacts, expand the sort of perspectives I hear and personalities. I call it 'Operation Supreme Clientele'. Basically it is just being a little more social, talking to people and hanging out with them. Not random strangers, but folks in class and shit. Making the transition from for example 'Creative Writing class buddies' to just 'buddies'.

It is working pretty well, and I blame the internet.

But already there is a little problem. People beefing for no damn reason. Just 'I don't like that kid' shit. But whatever, I can't imagine it getting too out of hand because...I don't hang with complete dicks. For me, it taks a lot for me to dislike someone. I'm pretty easygoing.

===================

I like my job.

I acted like I'm the hottest shit ever, walked around like I'm actually the one that owns the place, and didn't give a fuck about talking to any women today, and wow...

... the pussy came up to ME.

That's way too good.

------

Any women you talk to...

It's not the same way you're suppose to talk to another man. It's not even the same language.

It's some stupid "girl talk" language that I'm just learning about and practicing using now.

Funny how I always thought people spoke... you know... "English" instead...

===================

The reason girls wear high heels is to make their asses stick out.

------

The reason Abercrombie makes girls pants with the logo right on the butt, is so that guys will look at the girl's butt to read it.

(I'm thinking I should of bought Abercrombie stock instead of American Eagle Outfitters stock now... God knows how much single guys like me enjoy staring at girl's asses.)

Thank you, actually.

I was pissed about the insomnia at first then but I realized you did me good, I stopped procrastinating, and sent out the e-mail to the gorgeous Korean woman.

If I had waited any longer (more than 1-2 days), she definitely would of slipped though my fingers and some other guy would of picked her up.

I hope she responds. She has like nine different pictures, and she looks good in all of them.

----

Why the hell was I a fucking idiot and put a picture of myself wearing just a tanktop as one of my profile pics? Am I really that insecure that I need to put a picture of myself without a shirt to get women to pay attention to me?

It didn't pay off... The five Japanese women I requested haven't added me as of right now.

Anyway, it's not about who I am, it's all about the marketing of who I am when it comes to online dating. I changed my main profile picture. Fuck... I'm going to have to wait another week or two for the next crop of Japanese women here in my area to sign up for these two networking/dating sites I'm on though. I messed up my chances with these ones I like already because of my awesome no shirt, show off my nipples exploits.

Alright, since I'm very self conscious about my voice, the stuttering problem I used to have, and how people are always telling me I talk too fast, this is painful for me but I'm going to do it anyway.

I'm going to spit some game into my microphone and I need some honest opinions on what kind of impression I'm giving off. These are actual lines I attempted to use with the girls at work, but I don't know how they react to it (since I usually have nerves to deal with also when I'm talking to girls in person).

http://media.putfile.com/voice-practice-2

My focus is on speaking slowly, confidently, and charismatically while having a melodious tone to my voice. What would you think if you were one of those pretty Asian girls that work in the casinos? Be honest. Thanks.

the back? Seen it in another video.... (yes the camera seems to go to all creepy angles during their music videos..) All i can say is pencil thin.

Fuck, I went into work 3 hours early today. I'm actually a 9 pm start tonight, but I went in at 6 pm instead, so here I am at home again.

It doesn't even matter though.

I pulled off four of the smoothest interactions I EVER pulled off with four different girls tonight, including picking up this new girl's e-mail and digits, and it was fantastic. :bgrin:

I'm going to write about it right now. All you nosy voyeurs can check it about 45 minutes or so.

edit:
Oops, out of time. I only wrote about two girls instead. Anyway the third girl (some dude's wife) has starting doing walk by touchings on me; and Xu thought she could be a high status bitch and steal the empty chair next to me today, but I'm putting my arm on my chair and eating my food, so hell no, I don't let her have my chair (I'm being territorial) and she's like "Hmmph!" in the most hilariously cute way ever.

"Two steps forward, one step back." and knocking girls down to a level below you for the win.

[JackTenrac!]

Wait, what? Where were you? Do you know each other at all? In passing or anything?

Well, where does she work? Is it some where you'd shop or look for a gift for someone else? Do you go to the same school?

I need more information.

- Well, I just asked her for directions that day, and afterwards, I saw her in a woman's clothing store behind a cashier spot.

- We go to different schools, but her school is 2-4 mins away from my house. :wink:

- I saw her recently, but in passing. Girl's always riding her bike.

...this is going well.

...I don't know what to say, failing your G2 is just weak. No real excuses there.

It actually gets easier the higher you go up. I still think that the G1 written test was harder than the G2, and the full G test is probably the easiest thing in the world because you should theoretically already have like months and months (or years) of driving under your belt already when you take the G.

If you failed because you almost got into an accident or something (which is an instant fail, so I guess it doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad driver...you just made one bad mistake or something) you should probably schedule a test mid-day - like anywhere from 10:00 to 2:00. Which should make another Dangerous Action less prone to happen than if you did your test during like...rush hour or something.

Watch out for fire hydrants too. I was nervous at the beginning of my G2 test, and when the tester told me to pull over, I took a quick glance and I must have missed the fire hydrant, and I parked right next to it. I assumed I had instantly failed, but then I played the rest of it perfectly, and I managed to pass.

Though from my own personal experience and from multiple actual international surveys and studies...Toronto is one of the worst - if not THE worst - cities to drive in. All our drivers are either mentally retarded or complete assholes. And the traffic situation is so shitty here.

Yeah, happened twice, and they were both mid-day...

They make you do the test still like you are going to pass anyway after that is done. Then, when I do everything correctly AND I fail, I think "Like, really, what the f---? YOU WHITE BASTARDS ARE MONSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRSSSSSSSSS! ALL OF YOU! DEATH TO RUNEFAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST!!!!" and take out the AK and start speed carving moon craters out of the fool, but then I wake up and start listening when I get bitched at.

You misspelled "greatest."

No biggie though, I see people do it all the time. And vice versa as well. Weird, considering they look and sound nothing alike, and they have completely opposite meanings. I guess it's a common mistake regardless of the reason.

You guys ever noticed how LL never dies in any of his moives? I think its in his contract.

I just ordered some Pizza From Papa Johns. Yeah you can order online from them. Thats cool for me because I dont think clearly when I handle buisness on the phone. I usually stutter and get shit wrong. I once asked for a Tendercrip sandwhich from Dominos. Now I have a question for my Srk homies:
Should this muthafucka get a tip? The order comes out to 14.65. I really dont want to break a 20 cause sometimes these bastards will try to shortchange you and take their own tip. I also have a 10 and four singles and I have some change layin around, So should I just give him that instead of the 20?

[Rico!]

don't do it.

online ordering? Shit. America is becoming too fat.

[Zulu]

Brooklyn and the Bronx never did get along.

[abacabb]

Dont give him a tip?
Lol Zulu.

[Rico!]

exactly

EDIT: I wasn't aiming that fat comment at you BTW

I only give tips in restaurants, and the waitress/waiter has to be very nice and quick about everything.

[TheSix]

My pizza guy assumes he's getting a tip.

Me- /gives him a 20, change is around 3 dollars
Him - "Is it okay man?". He glances at the change.
Me - Lemme get a buck back.

2 Dollars is reasonable....and even thats pushing it. I still don't understand the logic behind who or who not to tip. I don't get tips for working at my job. Why should the guy/girl who is also getting paid to do their job get a tip for doing just that....their job.

You don't tip the cashier at the restuarant now do you? Oh and for the record, I've never had a female delivery person.

[Roxie]

Tipping (http://people.howstuffworks.com/tipping.htm) from Howstuffworks.com

f you've ever worked in the hospitality industry, waiting tables, tending bar, carrying luggage, etc., you've probably depended on tips from your customers to make ends meet. Many people who haven't worked in this industry don't realize that servers, guides, drivers, and others who help make our dining, traveling, and other service experiences nicer, sometimes aren't paid even minimum wage by their employers. They depend on the gratuities that their customers give them for good service and friendly help. Although tipping is a multi-billion dollar industry, it isn't a globally consistent phenomenon. If you're traveling to another country, you'd better read up on its tipping customs or you may end up humiliating your waiter or angering your valet!

In this article, we'll look into the custom of tipping, how it got started, how much we should tip for different services, and examine research that has been done on what makes us tip more (or less) than usual.

How Did Tipping Get Started?
A tip, or gratuity, is a small amount of money given voluntarily as a token of appreciation for a service rendered. According to Webster's Dictionary, the word "tip" is also considered by many to be an acronym: T.I.P. - "To Insure Promptness" or "To Insure Prompt" service. We tip our servers as a way of thanking them for good service. We might also leave a very low tip, or no tip at all, as a signal that the service was terrible.

But how did tipping get started in the first place? Why don't employers just pay their employees a regular wage and increase their prices to make up the difference? In some places, they do, but so many of us (especially in the U.S.) are so accustomed to leaving a tip for good service that we end up leaving our servers money anyway -- sometimes embarrassing them in the process! In places where tipping is expected, it is usually done in order to encourage the best service possible from servers.

There are several theories about where tipping came from. George Foster, a professor of anthropology at U.C. Berkeley, researched tipping in the early 1970s and found that the word "tip" or "gratuity" often was associated with "drink money," seeming to imply that the customer was buying the server a drink to have later as a way of saying thanks for the good service. Foster's theory was that the customer was trying to prevent making the server envious of his own ability to sit, drink, and be served.

Another theory follows the use of the word "tip" in the 17th century. The word was used as a verb to mean "hand it over" or "to give." This follows suit with the stories of feudal lords throwing gold coins as "tips" to the peasants in the street to ensure their own safe passage.

The TIP acronym we mentioned earlier, "to insure promptness," has been said to come from 16th century coffee houses in England. This idea is challenged, however, because some say acronyms weren't even used until the 1920s.

So, it appears that the history of tipping is as unclear as the modern practice itself. When else do people pay additional money for a service for which they've already paid, without negotiating the amount up front? The multi-billion dollar tipping industry thrives on just that.

Who Are We Supposed to Tip?
For many people, tipping is a way of ensuring continued good service. For example, if you go to the same hairdresser every month, you probably want to keep him or her happy by tipping well, usually 15% to 20%. The added advantage, aside from the quality of the haircut you get, is that the hair dresser may be more willing to work with you on appointment times or squeeze you in when you're in a time crunch. The same idea holds true for other services you receive.

The difference between average service and great service may be the tip you give. When you're dealing with people, it becomes a personal relationship. Both consumers and businesses can improve the services they receive by building these relationships. In many instances, this means tipping well. Businesses that depend on deliveries or other outside services can improve their own customers' experiences by making sure they compensate servers, guides, delivery people, etc., for good or exceptional service.

* Hotels - Gratuities to hotel staff vary from location to location, usually depending on the size of the metropolitan area. Typically, however, you should give bellhops at least a dollar for each bag they carry (more if the bags are especially large, heavy, or awkward to carry), and more if they go above and beyond the call of duty to make your stay more pleasant. The standard tip for the maid is $1 to $10 per night. This, of course, depends a lot on the mess you make, the price of the room, and the extra services you request. The standard amount for the concierge is $5 to $10 depending on how helpful he or she was. If the concierge suggested and made reservations for you at a great restaurant, then you might tip more. Tips are not usually necessary for the doorman or the desk clerks, unless they do something out of the ordinary that you really appreciate.

* Deliveries - Pizza deliveries, flower deliveries, and large deliveries such as furniture have differing tipping standards. Depending on the distance, you might tip the pizza delivery person $2 to $5. Flower deliveries are usually tipped $1 to $10, with the higher amounts going to especially large or multiple arrangements. Large deliveries like furniture usually require $5 to $10 per person, with more for extra service.

* Airports - Standard practice is to tip skycaps $1 to $2 per bag for carrying and checking your luggage. The same goes for shuttle drivers if they help you with your bags. If they don't, which often happens, then no tip is necessary. Anyone who helps you out with special services, such as wheel chair assistance, should be given a small tip.

* Parking and auto-related - The usual amount for tipping valets is $1 to $2 per car when you pick the car up. If you ask for special care or for quicker retrieval, then you might also tip when you drop the car off. Other auto-related servers, like the gas station attendant or your mechanic, can be tipped if you feel the service was exceptional. You might tip your mechanic $10 to $20 or more for jobs over $500. Gas station attendants who voluntarily check fluids, wash windows, etc., should get $1 to $2 or more.

* Others - What about all of those people who provide services throughout out the year? How do you tip them? Most people give a gift during the holiday season. For regular services such as newspaper delivery or garbage collectors, $15 to $25 is usually a good amount to tip once a year. For others, such as baby sitters, nannies, or cleaning services, a week's pay is usually the standard amount.

These are just few of the occupations that are typically tipped for their services. For a more complete list, visit The Orignal Tipping Page. (http://people.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=tipping.htm&url=http://www.tipping.org/TopPage.shtml)

Who are we NOT supposed to tip?
There are still a few people out there who we are NOT supposed to tip. Some of these include:

* Restaurant owners
* Salon owners
* Other owners of establishments where you tip the service providers
* Food deliveries under $30, such as those from the grocery store (although this is debated)
* Airline flight attendants
* Busboys in restaurants (waiters usually give busboys a percentage of the tips they receive)
* Hotel desk clerks and doormen (unless they provide some special service for you)
* Bus drivers
* Theater ushers
* Museum guides
* Salespeople
* Employees at fast food restaurants

I hope that helps.

Man... There's girl I know. She's kinda my friend. Beefore, I never really paid much attention to her, but now, 2 years after I met her, I'm REALLY attracted to her. Everytime I see her, I just want to put my penis in every orifice on her body. wtf is going on?

Voluntarily is the key word here. If you go out of your way to do something I didn't ask, the most you'll get is a thank you.


all this tip talk reminds me of a place in Chinatown me and a friend often eat at. There's a bitch there we simply call, the tip bitch. She's always sure to place herself right by the cash register when i'm going to pay, and she'll always be sure to ask the other waitresses if i've left a tip. Then she'll go LEAVE A TIP FO YO WAITRESS!!

one time I just paid and walked out, but my idiot friend decided to stand by the door and smoke, giving tip bitch plenty of time to come outside and yell LEAVE A TIP FO YO WAITRESS!!

Haven't been there in weeks now. that damn whore.

I gave him a dollar tip. Acutally it was like a 1.50 tip. I had some change in my pocket.

[JackTenrac!]

Sorry, I ruined the thinking. Bitching with Arial size 10pt doesn't solve anything,

Isn't tipping similar to tithing?


...that went well.

I'm so angry right now. If I was to predict my future, I would say that I will die alone, unhappy, and unfulfilled.

As a pizza delivery driver, tip at least a dollar. Anything less than a dollar is just going to piss someone off.

I'm somewhat disappointed that the irrational Dub-Naruto hate bandwagon hasn't been nearly as strong and obvious as I predicted several months ago. There's still an amusing amount of people who are magically bonded to the skin of japan's culture+cartoon-cock though. However, I would agree that Naruto's english voice is rather annoying....everyone else is ok so far. I'd like to see someone even try bitchin' about Orochimaru now that his "normal" voice was revealed tonight....because the actor sounds very similar in tone to the japanese actor in the original...just slightly younger.

I don't like tipping everybody...but a pizza delivery person would get 1.50 or 2.00...maybe 2.50 or so. The thing is....it's extremely rare that I order pizza. The price difference is so huge...it is MUCH cheaper to just buy a delicious Freschetta's, Red Baron, or DiGiorno's from the store. Dammit, a personal/small size Red Baron is just about 2.68! Compare that to a random delivery place, where you're paying at least 7 bucks or so PLUS a delivery charge PLUS the expected tip. here comes one of my favorite phrases....wait for it....Nigga Please©. Oh this isn't even taking into account the ultra-cheap store brands like Kroger's 59 cent pizza....or their "Deluxe" pizza which is about medium size for 3.68 or so. Anyway, I hear some people tip their garbage people...the hell? I first heard about it when Howard Stern was discussing doing this a few years ago. Get the hell out of here...."Waste Disposal Personnel" already make a decent salary. Again...Nigga Please. I'll tip a delivery(food) person, and a waiter/waitress....but beyond that...no way.

*dying alone = not me. I will simply do whatever it takes. I would not be opposed to taking advantage of someone younger(*not necessarily jailbait) than me who happens to be easy due to pitifully low self-esteem issues. Once you've experienced enough rejection and pain...you begin to lose certain moral/ethical restraints. There's quite a few cute girls out there with low self esteem....just waiting to be captured like the frail prey they are. Just call me the Predator.

"...want some candy?"

I have bad news.

It's NOT going to happen.

I waited seven years, and some low self esteem or underaged girl just coming up and letting me capture her like that has never happened to me even once.

Might as well keep masturbating by yourself for the rest of your life or buy yourself a robot sex toy, if that's your honest hope for the future about what you're going to do to not die alone.

I wrote about all the positive interactions I had with women today (I also actually got a cute girl's e-mail who isn't one of my coworkers, but a patron instead), but I also had one of the most painful rejections I can remember happening to me ever today too.

Learn to get over it.

Did you download that "Defeat Shyness" e-book I posted?

Close the door to your room and read it OUT LOUD, word for word, until everything is firmly engrained into your head.

Even if you don't think it will help you, I want you to just TRY IT anyway.

[Million]

I've read a little of it so far....yeah, it's interesting so far...

Low self esteem younger girls are quite a viable option. They'd certainly equate to a generally lower stress level than the average woman closer to my age range...many of which make me want to smash something(or someone) simply by existing. Of course I realize women, no matter what their self-esteem level, rarely actually DO shit like "approach"....I'm just saying those types will definitely be easier to deal with....I simply meant it would be easier to exert a subtle layer of control over those types.

The "younger" category ---really now....how many guys here have gone back to high school after graduation? Even without being drop dead handsome....the high school broads practically get moist just by your presence. It continues to some extent beyond high school. The girl/woman will usually be more interested in the older guys. I know when I was still kinda fresh out of high school, sometimes I'd go back there purely for the ego boost of having cute *young'ns* smile at me, whisper to their friends, blush, giggle, blatantly flirt, etc.....it would also be amusing to me that just prior to that when I was actually a student, they wouldn't have given a shit about me.

Another thing, though...I don't value "The Game" and women to be nearly that important right now in life...it's just nowhere near as much of a priority as it appears to be for you, kcxj. Seriously, you seem to be obsessed with women....not even really in the normal, macho guy way....it's like The Game or the chase or "hot pursuit", whatever ya want to call it...it's like this aspect of life has totally consumed you. It's kinda strange, even to me.

Honestly, so many years of rejection, depression, and resulting hatred and bitterness eventually gave way to this wonderful period of apathy. I don't even have it in me to rant about women in that passionate, misogynistic tone like I did in earlier years here on the forums. Actually, I feel psychologically and emotionally a thousand times better like this. I'll return to "The Game" eventually of course, since I am...perhaps unfortunately....only human....and thus, the desire for love/romance/companionship is an inescapable component of human nature itself.

The love of my life, at least for now, has become money. Of all wordly things, for me....money is the true thing to prioritize, imo....not love or romance. It is inevitable, especially these days, that so-called "love" will fail. Money, on the other hand, will not....unless you're as much of a fool with it as MC Hammer back in the day.

Had to tip the barber from First Choice. She got 10% of what the cut was. Those ladies can't even line it up correctly, so I'll have to go in. I miss Nappy's, my old shoppe, wholeheartedly. They earned it well because it always went well. Even with the cranky barber who spoke english and potowa to get the customers. He went beyond the barriers of well formed work to get the proper and the overvalue. Polite, nice, friendly, and interested in doing a great job with the service. What a guy.

Hey, what's the tip percentage for a meal at a resturant?

I understand that the standard Canadian rate is like 10% of the bill, but apparently I hear that in the States, it's like 15%. Any truth to that? I don't want to go for a roadtrip, tip 5% less because I didn't know, and get fucking shot or something in the parking lot.

Scratch scratch. The ass of a couch is a goldmine.

[TheSix]

So I spend years "perfecting" the shy nice guy routine only to discover what? David DeAngelo. I seriously thought this was all a gimmick, even after reading all the reviews. But I read it anyway, and I have been going over situations and counters to females for the past few weeks. Im not afraid to admit im not the most "fly" motherfucker around. And just today, I finally have come to my own personal conclusion- It does work.

I've been going over to my best friends house since 3rd grade. Always around his family...inparticularly his sister. We never really talked....she was just always around(an aquatence I suppose). And before today, the last time I had seen/talked to her was in October at a concert(she actually came up to me and I fucked it up). If only I had discovered the series before then....if only I wasn't such a fuckin' pussy at the time, I would be a much better standing with females then I am right now. And that standing is - the FriendZone.

Anyway, we were sitting on the couch just chillin' when something just told me to "practice what I have been studying up on". Now I have no interest in pursuing this girl as my boy would probrably want to kick my ass. And things are just smoothing over between me and their dad(thats another story in itself). But I still wanted to see if there was some logic...some usefullness to what I have been reading up on the past few weeks.

So I start with the basic convo openers....and long story short, 45 minutes later I got this bitch smiling, laughing and cheesing like fuck. It surprised me how there was never a awkward moment of silence, or her looking like she wanted to leave/get on the cell. I figured I was in kind of long so I left...beforehand securing the email and #. And from what I can tell, she has a boyfriend.

I don't plan on advancing, it was simply "practice" for when I find someone I am interested in. This might not be new to some of ya'll, but for me this shit was way out of place. It's fuckin' difficult to sit there and look comfortable with some of the shit we were talking about. I suppose it goes away in time....

ummm...it's 15% in Canada too.

15% is actually fairly cheap anymore...I go for 20-25 usually depending.

AHAHAHAHA :rofl:

I'm walking out of work. I check my cell phone and see "New voice message". I'm expecting my mom or one of my gamer buddies left me a message.

It's a female voice on the other end.

In fact it's a female leaving the most pathetic and needy sounding voice mail message to me for the first time ever!

I literally stopped in the middle of the hallway, and started laughing out loud so hard that people started to look at me.

Let's see, I was 11 when I first started becoming interested in girls... THAT'S 13 YEARS OF FRUSTRATION FOLKS!!!

A girl finally left a message wanting ME for the first time.

"Hi, Kang... sorry blahblahblah... in case you lost my e-mail address, here it is again... blahblah@blah.com... I hope to hear from you again."

AHAHAHA... :rofl:

=======

I was actually feeling a huge hit to my ego and I almost cried the other day when I messed up with this one girl and she literally got angry and hostile at me.

As I was standing at a dead table today, I just hollered at every single women that happened to walk by (the majority of them being Asian).

A lot of them didn't respond to me, a lot of them just gave me a quick, "hi..." and then walked off as fast as they could. Everytime I was actually successful and the woman came over to have a conversation with me, that feeling was way too good though.

There were a bunch of my girl and woman coworkers I finally mustered up the courage to go talk to today. Too many to write about on the blog, so I'm not going to do it.

And to top it all off, this ugly girl who's e-mail I phone number picked up the other day leaves a message on my voice mail like a cute little puppy dog, desperate and afraid that I won't pay attention to her anymore because we were on the phone today, the connection got lost, and I didn't bother calling her back.

I'm finally in control, and SHE wants me.

------

It's truly a counter-intuitive. The more effort you put in to chase after a girl, the more she runs and avoids you. If you focus on improving YOURSELF first and foremost, then plant a single seed of attraction in a girl, then back off and treat her like shit, THEY'RE the ones that end up chasing you.

Ah-ha. :badboy:

[kcxj]

You know when fucking MILLION is telling you you're strange you need to sit down and examine your shit.
Million, do you see the kind of impression that other people from this board have of you? You're Million, the guy that's strange and obviously has girl issues, so he writes creepy sex stuff on the board for other people to read instead, and if even you're telling me something, then I seriously need to sit down and evaluate myself.

I'm telling you, you can do it. You have my encouragement and 100% backing.

Change your personality and view on life with the books and self help CDs I've been using, and fuck these miserable haters already. :rofl:

edit:

I just realized it's hopeless talking online to people on a video game board and trying to convince them otherwise about their views on life. I don't know how Deangelo does it, but I'm not interested in being him and I'm not making any money off this either. I'd might as well be banging my head against a wall.

Anyway, good luck to everybody here, I had fun with this thread, and whoever's interested in still being friends (go out, enjoy life, live for the moment, and pick up some bitches), you know how to contact me.

Wow...lot's of stuff is happening...

[Muff Daddy]

so last thursday i was partying in canada because a friend of mine was turning 19. if you live in or around detroit, turning 19 is kind of a big thing because you can go across the border and drink legally in canada. it's like a rite of passage here.

i had almost forgotten how much i hated going to windsor on the weekends. the town is literally filled with drunken american 19 year olds on the weekends. its actually pretty disgusting: random vomit, shit, and piss on the streets and on the floors in the bar/club. prior to this past thursday, i hadn't partied in canada for about 3 years or so (ever since i turned 21 and could party state-side), but i've been crossing the border on a fairly regular basis this term because 1/2 of my "Border Studies" class was taught at Univ. of Windsor.

anyway, the girl who was turning 19 called me and asked if i was coming out. i told her i was down as long as i didn't have to drive because i was lazy. she said that they were taking 3 cars and that they'd have room for me. i ended up riding with this girl who i've been crushing on for a while, so it worked out well. when i asked who was going she said that it was going to be about 7 to 9 girls and that i'd be the only guy. i thought to myself, "ahhh fuck... he we go again..."

Side Commentary: Being the Lone Gunman™ in a group of women

some of you may not have had the chance to experience this before.

see... the problem with being the only guy in a group of 9 women is that you're walking one hell of a thin line. the impression that onlookers get is really a 50/50 toss-up.

imagine you are out at the club/bar with your friends. now imagine that you see a group of 9 hot white girls (well, one of them was mixed, but whatever), and in the middle of them is a lone, well-dressed, rather handsome, blacka man. you'd be thinking either one of two things about me to yourself... either a: "this guy must be the biggest faggot on the planet earth"; or b: "this guy must be the the Jesus Pimp incarnate, a god amongst men he is". like i said, its a fine line. and trust me, this wasn't the first time i've gone out with a bunch of girls when i'm the only dude.

some of you might be thinking: "no way man, that's dangerous, what if you get jumped or some shit pops off? the only backup you have is bunch of girls." not to worry friends. first, the typical meathead guys will just assume that you're gay, so they don't really see you as a threat. and i could care less about them thinking i'm gay, because i'll be knee deep in women after leaving the club anyhow. after all, i'm the one whose surrounded by a gang of girls, not them. plus, they quickly come to the realization that i'm straight when i start Power Grinding™ some asses on the dance floor. second, it amazes me how some dudes will literally be in awe of you if you're out with that many girls. i've had random dudes just come up to me and shake my hand and tell me how much they "respect" me (secretly, they probably want to kill me or be my "friend" so they can leech from my harem). most people fail to realize that i've know these girls for many years now and that i've had relations with almost all of them.

i wouldn't recommend this for just anyone. if you're the lone guy in a group of 9 women, you have to be prepared and 100% confident in your sexuality. i've gotten some pretty dirty looks from dudes and females alike. just be prepared to be stared at alllll night. according to one of my close female friends, guys are thinking: "what does he have that i don't?"; and girls are thinking, "wow he must have a big penis."

also, when you're the Lone Gunman™ in a group of women, other women tend to circle you like vultures. this can work in my favor as well if i time it right, but if my timing is off, the harem will form a Hate Swarm and send any potential female suitors packing. women will compete with each other, no matter what. if i manage to make eye contact with another girl while i'm surrounded by the group i came with, i'm usually in like Flynn at that point. being the only guy in an all-female group is like having a full a-groove meter in training mode that always refills itself, you can click-on at any point and have full meter again a few seconds later.

my posts always end up being too long. maybe i'll finish the canada story another time...

also, when you're the Lone Gunman™ in a group of women, other women tend to circle you like vultures. SO true, its due to social proof. I mean, if a bunch of girls are already around you, then you must have something that other guys dont right? So girls see that, and instantly think that you're a high status guy.
Infact, it will work in your favour even just having 1 girl around you, although not as well obviously.
