| Topic | Is it acceptable for men to wear white to a wedding? |
| ProfDE 05/26/17 10:03:32 AM #3 | Yes, but be very careful because anything that gets on it will show. --- |
| Topic | I spent 6 hours in the woods. |
| ProfDE 05/24/17 1:30:20 PM #9 | Did you find a bunch of Pokemon? --- |
| Topic | Can you talk about bootleg games or repro carts here? |
| ProfDE 05/24/17 1:29:00 PM #4 | I would say probably not. If you want an official answer you should post in Ask The Mods. --- |
| Topic | have you ever tutored someone or helped someone study? |
| ProfDE 05/24/17 9:20:10 AM #4 | In college I tutored math. I had the school have the money I got from tutoring go toward my account because it was less I had to do. --- |
| Topic | Websites that detect an adblocker and ask you to disable |
| ProfDE 05/22/17 9:51:51 PM #10 | Crazyman93 posted... ProfDE posted...SomeGuyUO posted...I don't even bother to disable. I just don't visit those sites anymore. I have a couple domains of my own and guess what. I've never used ads to pay for them. I plan them into my budget. Occasionally I get commissions from my webhost by people switching to my host. --- |
| Topic | Websites that detect an adblocker and ask you to disable |
| ProfDE 05/22/17 9:46:04 PM #3 | SomeGuyUO posted... I don't even bother to disable. I just don't visit those sites anymore. This is my stance as well. If you don't have enough money to keep it up without ads, you probably shouldn't be running it. --- |
| Topic | How are you right now? |
| ProfDE 05/22/17 9:44:41 PM #10 | I'm broken. Friday I took a big fall in a parking lot injuring both hands, my left shoulder, and right knee. I missed about 12 hours worth of work, but luckily I have plenty of PTO to use. --- |
| Topic | What sites do you use to find jobs? |
| ProfDE 05/22/17 9:43:18 PM #11 | LinkedIn is what I use. I occasionally get interviews scheduled when I hadn't even applied due to my work experience. --- |
| Topic | Warned/Suspended User General V17: reformed af |
| ProfDE 05/21/17 10:25:06 PM #39 | Bio1590 posted... Go_Totodile posted...ProfDE posted...Maybe for users that have been around longer karma loss violations should take more karma and repeat infractions should take more karma. Definitely need to have moderations history last longer than it currently does. I'd say 1 full calendar year. Purgatory should stay forever. You have to have done something really bad to get a Purgatory. --- |

| ProfDE 05/21/17 1:37:36 PM #27 | Maybe for users that have been around longer karma loss violations should take more karma and repeat infractions should take more karma. --- |
| Topic | Can you believe only a few months ago it was winter? Now it's 42 C outside! |
| ProfDE 05/21/17 9:31:59 AM #5 | sktgamer_13dude posted... It's 53 where I live. 53 F. Same here and add rain to that mix. --- |
| Topic | I'm flying to America tomorrow, how many people do I need to tip? |
| ProfDE 05/21/17 9:30:57 AM #3 | It isn't customary to tip a pilot over here. --- |
| Topic | Want to put in a new SD card in my new 3ds XL |
| ProfDE 05/20/17 5:13:40 PM #8 | Patches I believe are stored on the SD card and not the game cartridge so you may need to download the latest patches of games you play. --- |
| Topic | yay, first degree burns |
| ProfDE 05/20/17 1:40:42 PM #7 | I've heard of a fourth degree burn in an episode of Rescue 911 a long time ago, but I've never heard of anything more than that. --- |
| Topic | Oh shit, final in less than 2 hours + im really nervous + feel like have to poop |
| ProfDE 05/20/17 1:37:35 PM #13 | Seems like a crappy situation to be in. Also I could never imagine schools doing a final on a weekend. I've heard of Saturday School as a punishment, but not as a mandatory thing every student goes through. --- |
| Topic | Are you afraid of tornadoes? |
| ProfDE 05/20/17 1:35:20 PM #9 | I live in the northern end of tornado alley and am not afraid of them. If they come, they come. --- |
| Topic | Why is forbes the worst site ever? |
| ProfDE 05/20/17 9:41:58 AM #2 | I hate any site that blocks you from viewing content if you have an adblocker. Forbes is one of them. --- |
| Topic | Have you ever been on a plane? |
| ProfDE 05/20/17 7:01:24 AM #33 | KookyCouture posted... Well I agree airports are a pain in the arse, but it is fun, especially take off - I do wonder how long-legged people cope on long flights though, I'm rather small and even I find it difficult to get comfortable I either request an exit row seat since those have more leg room or fly first class if it is more than a 2 hour flight. --- |
| Topic | i had 300 hours in pokemon sun and my file just got corrupted |
| ProfDE 05/20/17 6:57:39 AM #27 | A couple years ago I had gone to US Pokemon Nationals and had my stuff in the staff area. My 3ds along with Pokemon Black 2 was stolen. I never got back everything, but at that time I was still actively playing Emerald to get all the symbols so some of my best Pokemon never were transferred over to it. --- |
| Topic | I myself have 3 DWIs. |
| ProfDE 05/19/17 3:24:07 PM #37 | I've never had a DUI. When I have a drink it is 1 or 2 max, but it is always at least 3-4 hours before I will be leaving. --- |
| Topic | Scenario: This Walmart cashier refused to give you your change. |
| ProfDE 05/19/17 3:21:05 PM #22 | Flock_Masta_P posted... ProfDE posted...The cashier would be pulled aside and talked to by me ( I happen to be a CSM for Walmart ) because you don't wait until you run out of change before you order more. You order when you are getting low. I actually do, but if you order quarters when say you have around $3.00 left of quarters, you shouldn't run out. What do not like is when a cashier for the register doesn't order change and goes home / goes on break so it is very low on change when someone takes over. They will get talked to if they do that because you are suppose to leave the register ready for the next person to use. --- |
| Topic | have you ever opened a drink or bag of chips while shopping? |
| ProfDE 05/19/17 3:17:31 PM #19 | I haven't, but I don't have a problem with a customer doing it if they pay for it and it isn't something sold by weight when they check out with the rest of their items. --- |
| Topic | When customers in retail ask you to check in the back.... |
| ProfDE 05/19/17 3:14:55 PM #9 | When I used to stock I'd always scan the item first. If it had a positive on-hand count then I would check. If it had zero then I would just tell the customer that it says we have none and if we have any on order. --- |
| Topic | When's the last time you got spanked? |
| ProfDE 05/19/17 9:49:54 AM #8 | Not since I was a teen. It was for not turning in a homework assignment. --- |
| Topic | Have you ever been on a plane? |
| ProfDE 05/19/17 9:47:35 AM #15 | Ever since 2009 or so I've flown at least once a year. --- |
| Topic | 92 degrees in May |
| ProfDE 05/18/17 2:38:54 PM #7 | Yesterday it rained from afternoon until around 4am this morning. When I got off at 7am it was just a sprinkle. --- |
| Topic | I'm about to graduate college and apply for jobs. Resume Question |
| ProfDE 05/18/17 2:34:29 PM #11 | If you had perfect attendance that might be worth putting on the resume because it shows you are reliable. --- |
| Topic | Are there jobs available by where you are? |
| ProfDE 05/18/17 2:32:41 PM #15 | My work is hiring all the time. I also see that many places near me have Now Hiring type of signs. Even if its not a great first job, take what you can get so you have something you can put on your resume. If you are looking for references, try asking some of the teachers you had. --- |
| Topic | Scenario: This Walmart cashier refused to give you your change. |
| ProfDE 05/18/17 9:03:29 AM #6 | The cashier would be pulled aside and talked to by me ( I happen to be a CSM for Walmart ) because you don't wait until you run out of change before you order more. You order when you are getting low. --- |
| Topic | When do you think gas prices will get expensive again |
| ProfDE 05/15/17 10:27:38 PM #14 | It gets expensive whenever I need gas. When I don't need gas the price drops at least 10 cents a gallon. --- |
| Topic | What type of writing utensil do you use? |
| ProfDE 05/15/17 10:26:14 PM #6 | Xelltrix posted... Quill & Ink. Maybe you should use the quick quotes quill? I normally write in black pen because most things I am writing on are records that need to be maintained. --- |
| Topic | what is the justification for not being able to disable being mentioned |
| ProfDE 05/15/17 10:24:20 PM #6 | Giant_Aspirin posted... its even worse when you get mentioned because someone wants to argue with you I've had this happen recently. I didn't want to argue because I already knew that the person wasn't going to agree with me. I ended up putting said user on my ignore list. --- |
| Topic | What do you call a backpack? |
| ProfDE 05/15/17 10:22:36 PM #17 | A backpack, but if I see a customer bring one in I already know most of them will steal stuff and put it in there because company policy doesn't allow searching backpacks. Personally I wish the store could just have a no backpack policy or if a backpack got brought in, it gets stored by the cash registers and the customer can get it when the checkout. --- |
| Topic | Do you get benefits through your work? |
| ProfDE 05/15/17 10:20:25 PM #5 | Dental is a joke because I always have to fight with the insurance company because they won't pay their share. This year I had enough and dropped dental coverage since I only go twice a year anyway and haven't had a cavity in years. I couldn't say how good my medical is; the only reason I have it is because it is required to have health insurance. The biggest benefit I get is discounts to a lot of theme parks and other stuff. --- |
| Topic | Magikarp! Use a Splash attack! |
| ProfDE 05/15/17 10:15:30 PM #4 | More than one of the Pokemon video games there is someone tries to sell you a Magikarp for $500. --- |
| Topic | McDonalds told me they ran out of fries today |
| ProfDE 05/15/17 10:14:14 PM #52 | My local McDonalds it is $7.70 USD after tax for a double quarter pounder meal. I don't remember if there is anything more expensive on the menu than that. --- |
| Topic | I feel like my problem in cooking is figuring out the right temperature... |
| ProfDE 05/15/17 10:09:05 PM #6 | Chef Ramsey actually does teach some good techniques. Also make sure whatever you cook doesn't end up raw. --- |
| Topic | Let's talk about Final Fantasy VIII (Spoilies) |
| ProfDE 05/15/17 10:03:27 PM #44 | The biggest hint for triple triad is not to spread the random rule. That creates big problems. I also strongly recommend doing the CC Card Group side quest as soon as its available. I discovered that at the end of the game you can refine player and gf cards for items and the CC Members will have them for you to win again. At one point I had figured out the best possible combination for stat junctions, status defenses, and elemental defenses. Needless to say, I crushed Omega Weapon. --- |
| Topic | 21 Things Men Should NEVER Wear |
| ProfDE 05/14/17 8:03:45 AM #48 | I think pants with holes in them or ones that intentionally look dirty should be added to the list. While on the subject it also drives me crazy when I see people wearing pants lower than how they are designed to be worn. --- |
| Topic | ordered a well done steak. came to the table with blood juice seeping out |
| ProfDE 05/14/17 7:46:01 AM #28 | Chef Ramsey would say "It's raw!" then proceed to slam the plate and brake it. Seriously though, I would've sent it back also. That isn't even close to the temperature you ordered your steak. --- |
| Topic | Hot Sauce goes best on _________ . |
| ProfDE 05/12/17 5:10:02 PM #13 | chicken wings, preferably drumstick. --- |
| Topic | I fucked up todays finals |
| ProfDE 05/12/17 5:08:35 PM #2 | I consider what a person can show me they can do in a real life example rather than grades. Grades are just a number / letter where as real life experiences shows what you can do. --- |
| Topic | Got fired today. Forgot how boring unemployment can be. |
| ProfDE 05/12/17 9:37:14 AM #39 | Just say that it was a policy violation since I'm pretty sure yelling at your supervisor is a violation of some policy you had at that job. Your previous employer is not allowed to give specifics on why you were fired. Being that you are into database management, you should be able to get another job that pays well. Right now I'm writing my own software from scratch and then plan on selling licences for it. --- |
| Topic | Windows 10 doesn't seem... bad. |
| ProfDE 05/12/17 9:26:42 AM #43 | Windows 10 has had internet connectivity issues at times. I know it isn't my laptop because I have no issues on any other device I go online with and it worked fine before updating to it. --- |
| Topic | Got emailed/an interview for a job I didn't even apply for or know about :O |
| ProfDE 05/12/17 9:18:35 AM #16 | I get these occasionally on LinkedIn. I have been in retail for 10 years so I know what I'm doing. --- |
| Topic | Father throws acid on daughter's face for reporting his human trafficking. |
| ProfDE 05/11/17 4:08:47 PM #32 | Get the Black Materia and have Sephiroth cast it. --- |
| Topic | Sitting at DMV.... ugh |
| ProfDE 05/11/17 9:46:08 AM #3 | "Fix" the roads. There is also road construction going on somewhere it seems like. --- |
