| Topic | would you take a job with a 1hr+ commute? |
| Romulox28 04/30/18 11:49:15 AM #46 | LightHawKnight posted... I take the train to work. 5-10 minute drive to station depending on traffic, 45 minute train ride, and a 6 minute walk to my building. Not that horrible. FLUFFYGERM posted... I spend about 15-20 hours a week commuting. Each way it's a 10 minute drive to get to the nearest train station, then a 50 minute train ride, then a 25 minute walk. yea i wouldnt mind if i had to take the train, but this job would likely be in stop and go traffic --- |
| Topic | it's pretty amusing how triggered CE gets over |
| Romulox28 04/30/18 11:44:38 AM #14 | i remember the day i found out that ppl weren't kidding and that there were actual women posting on CE. I got so mad that i straight up ripped a phone book in half, havent been able to do it since --- |

Alternative plan GB - i dont want to move, i just moved into this new apartment last week and we love it here. the job is not in a great area, it's very industrial & crowded Punctus_Pilot posted... Can you work from home? Even if it's just 2-3 times a month that can make it more manageable yea i might ask about that JustMyOpinion posted... 30 minutes is a good day for me. More like 45 with the ridiculous traffic on route 4. yea route 4 is a nightmare, my wife used to work in bergen county and it would take her like two hours some days to get into work when i was living in morris county it could take well over an hour if there was an accident on 78 --- |

| Romulox28 04/30/18 11:23:18 AM #11 | a few weeks ago my brother told me that he thought Final Fantasy Tactics was a bad game, and I almost became physically violent. there's some shit you just do not say --- |

| Topic | The main reason preordering is such a ripoff is you have to buy at launch. |
| Romulox28 04/30/18 10:28:35 AM #2 | agreed, i think pre-ordering is a leftover practice from decades ago when you couldn't buy games online, and you had to pre-order games you wanted at EB Games or whatever so that way you knew that you would actually be guaranteed a copy of the game you wanted, or that the store would even stock enough copies for everyone. but now companies still like it because you're essentially guaranteeing them money before the product ships --- |

| Topic | would you take a job with a 1hr+ commute? |
| Romulox28 04/30/18 10:14:59 AM #33 | i cant tell if i have stockholm syndrome from being so used to long commutes, if you guys have very low tolerance for driving, or if it's some mix of the two. hearing some of you guys complain about 30 minute commutes to me is baffling tbh, that's like the gold standard in NJ --- |
| Topic | would you take a job with a 1hr+ commute? |
| Romulox28 04/30/18 10:05:12 AM #24 | JustMyOpinion posted... For a 30% pay increase, yes. Otherwise, no. i havent gone over money yet with the company (just have an interview today) but i think a 30% increase wouldnt be far off for this position. since you live in NJ i figure you'll understand the kind of commute i'm looking at - i'm currently in Somerset county and would be commuting to Wayne. thankfully it looks like i can take 287 all the way up there just about so i can avoid the Parkway traffic DevsBro posted... Every business entering the area should be required to look at traffic trends and pick hours of operation that distribute traffic more evenly instead of reinforcing rush hour. we have to be open when banks are open though because of the nature of the industry --- |
| Topic | would you take a job with a 1hr+ commute? |
| Romulox28 04/30/18 9:58:36 AM #16 | treewojima posted... That's the standard commute time in the northern VA area. Takes me about 45 minutes to get to work and an hour plus to get back with traffic. my commute for the last year was about 45 minutes to 1hr (depending on traffic) going there and about 45 min back, although i just moved a little closer to my current job so now it's about 35 min. wasn't too bad tbh honestly i am used to long commutes because this is kind of the norm in NJ, but a possible 75 - 90 min commute is pushing it imo The Trent posted... i would say it depends on your situation i am married but i don't have any kids now, so the reason i'm considering this is so i can make the sacrifices now to set myself up for future success when i have kids and dont have to do shit like this when i am a father --- |
| Topic | would you take a job with a 1hr+ commute? |
| Romulox28 04/30/18 9:42:02 AM #4 | whitelytning posted... After doing it for a period of time I would not do it again unless the money was unreal. Even then, I would move closer at some point after taking the job. in my situation i can't move closer since i just signed a lease on a new place a couple weeks ago. the irony here is that i moved to the new place partially for better job options, and then this job opportunity fell into my lap and it's like two towns over from where i used to live lol --- |
| Topic | would you take a job with a 1hr+ commute? |
| Romulox28 04/30/18 9:34:24 AM #1 | the commute, according to google maps, is 54 minutes (46.3 miles). I don't know if this factors in traffic as well, but I figure this is going to be probably a little over an hour with traffic, maybe an hour and 15 with some typical NJ traffic. would you guys take the job based on this commute? it looks like a good position, however my dad did a commute like this for most of my childhood (hour and a half each way) and he always told me how much that sucked --- |

| Romulox28 04/30/18 9:16:52 AM #3 | the other day i saw a man eating General Tso's Chicken, and I was so disgusted by this blatant display of racism that I had to go into the alley and throw up --- |
| Topic | My gf and I have been dating 3 months and already talk about marriage/kids |
| Romulox28 04/30/18 6:00:41 AM #44 | Its honestly not that crazy to talk about marriage + kids early on when you consider that these things are ultimately the point/endgame of dating. Good to know youre on the same page about kids for example, rather than dating for 3 years, avoiding the convo, and then breaking up over different views --- |
| Topic | Xbox One Still Desperately Needs Exclusives |
| Romulox28 04/30/18 5:51:30 AM #31 | FightingGames posted... Is Froza actually good? It's hard to believe that a racing game is a system seller Yes & I agree with who posted about how MS doesnt seem to care about Xbox and wants to transform it into a service. Its really sad because I think the OG Xbox was so good and the 360 was really good for half its life as well. --- |

| Topic | Got a question for people with cats. |
| Romulox28 04/29/18 10:01:02 AM #8 | I have heard that makes are more playful, which is why we chose a male cat over a female one (we wanted an active cat instead of one who just hides all day). End result is that we now have an insane cat who spends all day zipping around and knocking shit over. My suggestion is to adopt your cat from someone who has gotten to know the cats and pick one with a personality that is appealing to you. Hopefully the person you get the cat from has gotten to know the kitties a bit because all cats have their own little personalities --- |

| Topic | How were you able to make friends or overcome your social anxiety, CE? |
| Romulox28 04/29/18 9:06:08 AM #18 | wah_wah_wah posted... There's no way to "overcome" social anxiety. And the attempt would probably just give you more anxiety. Accepting it as a fact of who you are is a better course of action. You don't have to talk to everyone and be a social butterfly in order to still have worth. this is some of the worst advice ever --- |
| Topic | which popular TV show did you never get into? |
| Romulox28 04/28/18 8:29:26 AM #22 | you really should give the wire another shot parappa, it takes a few eps to warm up. although i think you might be at a bit of a disadvantage since you're not american, so im not sure if there are any elements of that show that would need explaining to you --- |

| Romulox28 04/27/18 3:37:00 PM #14 | it's honestly ruining this board, like half the posts here are accounts with 5 karma and 200 posts, playing chicken with the TOS to see how close they can get to alt-right rhetoric without outright being racist/anti-semetic/etc it's getting old and it's pretty sad that mods are more concerned with modding people that call someone an idiot than this nonsense --- |

| Romulox28 04/27/18 3:09:42 PM #8 | Zeeak4444 posted... Wasn't boring in the least. All together I was bored in two sessions which was probably about 6-8 hours total. The other 200-300+ was nothing but laughs and good times. did you always have a tight group of ppl to play with? treasure hunts are fun but i hated fighting the skeletons (esp the tougher ones) and the merchant quests were very unpleasant --- |

| Romulox28 04/27/18 2:54:10 PM #8 | if you take out the extreme punishments for fucking up, dark souls is waaaay to easy of a game. very few enemies, save spaces are pretty close together, etc. the whole point of the game is that if you make a wrong move an enemy or boss will punish you hard, & if you remove that the game is just not fun imo --- |
