| paladin_man 12/19/18 8:56:36 AM #1 | Also FML. Got a call 2 out of 3 nights so far and they're all for stupid crap. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |

| Topic | After 18 months in the job, I finally get staff parking. |
| paladin_man 11/12/18 5:05:14 AM #3 | knutjob posted... I've seen a lot worse. My wife's company is like 90 a week. Must be a prime location. I bet the parking spots are designed for smart cars. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | After 18 months in the job, I finally get staff parking. |
| paladin_man 11/12/18 4:58:29 AM #1 | $15 a week, before tax. This is worth. Since public transport takes TRIPLE the time to get to work and costs more in the long run. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Has anyone ever donated a Kidney? |
| paladin_man 10/22/18 8:58:09 AM #13 | Someone is going to say, 'I've donated two'. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | More like Red Dud Redemption 2 |
| paladin_man 10/22/18 8:57:24 AM #3 | I feel since open world is really hot at the moment publishers try to push out as many open world titles as possible. There is a dip in quality which is highlighted since consumer expectation is high. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Using cologne. |
| paladin_man 10/22/18 8:55:17 AM #1 | Which cologne/perfume do you use? Or maybe you have a few that you switch between? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |

| Topic | Using promotional coupons at prime fast food locations. |
| paladin_man 10/21/18 6:03:35 AM #3 | Laserion posted... If the company makes them, and designates their location as participating, they have to comply. Don't managers get some newsletter about deals currently in effect? Those newsletters are probably largely ignored. Especially if it's some obscure coupon that I had (work benefit). --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Should mayonnaise on burgers be illegal? |
| paladin_man 10/21/18 5:55:33 AM #50 | Aioli-style mayo is okay on chicken breast burgers. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Using promotional coupons at prime fast food locations. |
| paladin_man 10/21/18 5:49:25 AM #1 | Dick move? So I used a 'buy one get one free' Big Mac meal electronic coupon at a McDonald's at the airport. The staff were very reluctant to honour it. It was escalated to the manager who eventually caved when I showed him that his McDonald's was one of the valid locations (thanks to phone GPS). I doubt they profited on my venture but if they advertise their location as a valid site then it's fair game IMO. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Bought a $1.2K tuxedo today. AMA. |
| paladin_man 10/12/18 10:43:17 AM #4 | PreacherBeelze posted... Why not buy a high quality suit? Its more versatile and applicable to more situations. I have a few suits already. Although some are plastic, most of mine are made from a cotton or wool blend. I have a suit for work/business, one suitable for day weddings/cocktail parties, but no Black Tie Formalwear. At least I know this tuxedo will probably carry me through most of my Black Tie events to come. Most of my high school friends are getting married this decade so it will probably come handy for night weddings. The tux is made from quality wool so hopefully, the extra investment will last. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Bought a $1.2K tuxedo today. AMA. |
| paladin_man 10/12/18 9:56:03 AM #1 | Originally was going to settle for a cheap $200 suit but decided to make the investment into a quality tuxedo. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | So if my checking account gives monthly interest at 2.22% APY... |
| paladin_man 10/10/18 8:19:41 AM #3 | 2.22% p.a. interest? That's amazing. Interest on savings has gone down the toilet over the past ten years over here. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Workplaces that punish efficient workers by assigning them harder work. |
| paladin_man 10/10/18 6:49:54 AM #1 | Does this happen to you? I've had this happen to me at a few places. During my old job, my boss rostered me on Saturdays (which paid less) and the slower worker on Sundays (which paid more). The reason was that he said Saturdays was busier so he would rather have the more efficient employee work that day. I always work at the elections. And I always end up getting assigned to role marking since it is the most tedious job that requires the most 'skill'. The other roles are 'queue controller' who literally points people to join queues, 'ballot box guard' who literally just has to stand next to the box, and 'election assistant' who is meant to help answer voter queries but since nobody asks they literally end up doing nothing. It frustrates me. I should slack off more. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | The US owes over one trillion dollars in credit card debt. |
| paladin_man 10/07/18 2:55:45 AM #1 | How do they honestly quantify this? Not everyone who has a credit card debt is actually struggling to pay it off. For example, say my credit card balance at the end of the month is $3,000. I would pay it off in full at the end of this month like clockwork. So would they count my $1,000 as part of this? What about the wealthy who accumulate anywhere up to 6 digits but pay it off when its due? It seems like a false representation of a nation's financial situation to me. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Drinking coffee at night. |
| paladin_man 10/03/18 7:58:53 AM #1 | Fairly normal practice. Sometimes people do it after a night out to wind down. But I cannot do it. I literally will not sleep. How do you people handle coffee after 8pm? --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | I could never do a job that only paid on commission. |
| paladin_man 10/01/18 5:54:28 AM #1 | The stress of not having the same guaranteed pay every week is enough. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |

| paladin_man 09/17/18 6:29:11 AM #1 | Every person I know who owns a cat has shared this experience. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | it's weird how if you work 9am-5pm you work 8 hours but if you work 10am-6pm |
| paladin_man 09/02/18 3:41:00 AM #2 | The meta is 8am to 4pm. Skip peak traffic both ways. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Is it normal to want to eat more after exercise? |
| paladin_man 09/02/18 3:39:39 AM #1 | After a somewhat intense badminton session, we went to a Schinizel house and I finished a Schnizel-for-4 by myself. I normally would not be able to eat anywhere near that amount. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | Rewatched Kung Fu Panda again. tfw when you realise *big spoilers* |
| paladin_man 08/20/18 11:09:17 AM #1 | that Master Oogway was the true villain. 1) Refused to acknowledge the most deserving student by far. Tai Lung probably wouldn't have such a bad guy if they acknowledged him for what he's worth. 2) As a result, Oogway emotionally breaks Master Shi Fu, causing him to detach from any form of affection for his students. 3) Despite defeating and capturing Tai Lung, he 'predicts' and warns Master Shi Fu of his impending escape, which ironically allows Tai Lung to escape (the loose feather from the duck was the key). 4) Knowing that Tai Lung has escaped and is coming for the Dragon Scroll, he finds Enlightenment and pretty much tells everyone, 'I ain't dealin with this Tai Lung problem'. 5) The biggest troll move of all was, the fact that the Dragon Scroll contained literally nothing. The whole plot revolved around something that didn't even exist in the first place. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
| Topic | tfw when you're on call at work. |
| paladin_man 08/20/18 7:55:16 AM #6 | SauI_Goodman posted... Muffinz0rz posted...on call for what Nah. The context of my on call is an after-hours service. There is a base on call pay but it's not worth it since I can get called at any time. Literally had to take a call at 3am in the morning and come in to work to sort it out. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |

| Topic | I'm hyping hard for Warioware Gold. |
| paladin_man 07/23/18 7:45:54 AM #1 | I don't know why, but I haven't been this excited for a 3DS title in a long time. Warioware Gold is a mainstream Warioware game too. The unlockable minigames in your collection archive was where it was at. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. |
