polopili 07/22/18 1:32:26 PM #3 | Been here since late 2000's. I think I liked it better back in the day, even though it sometimes felt like this was a 4chan extension with moderation. |

polopili 06/28/18 5:11:19 PM #4 | Damn_Underscore posted... have sex less? Oh so that's why so many people on CE are against abortion. They are pissed that people are having sex cause they can't get any. |

Topic | This country is fucked |
polopili 06/27/18 4:15:54 PM #19 | Meh I don't know much about the laws here but there's plenty of people who move here for college from other countries and end up staying after. I'd guess that you need people from the inside to fill in paperwork and make phone calls. |
Topic | Why are conservative women more attractive than liberal women? |
polopili 06/21/18 4:27:40 PM #13 | Y2J0_sHBK_Blue posted... Because conservatives have money. Pretty sure the great majority of conservatives here are poor since colleges are liberal indoctrination centers. |
Topic | What salary are you seeking? |
polopili 06/21/18 11:51:46 AM #8 | It's kind of a trap question since they already roughly know how much they're willing to pay. It's usually best to ask for something higher then negotiate down if you're willing to. I had a pretty good interview a few months ago and that was the last question. I asked for something quite high (but fair) and they had a somewhat surprised reaction, took notes and called back a few weeks later telling me they didn't want to go further with me. Turns out they hired one of my current coworker who had less experience, less education and worse of a reputation. |

Topic | So is VR legit yet? |
polopili 06/19/18 8:22:08 AM #7 | Which headset did you try? I have a Vive and tracking could not possibly be any better. Honestly I feel like it's still quite expensive and I would recommend to wait for gen 2. You need a powerful PC for it to work and GPUs are still quite expensive.The Vive controllers are not too good and tend to break easily. VR is NOT a gimmick. The technology works really good, they only need to fix a few details. I predict that in less than 10 years ''No VR no buy'' will be common for all new FPS games. |

Topic | Is betting on making a +2-4% monthly stock trade unrealistic? |
polopili 06/18/18 11:01:06 AM #20 | I wouldn't really set investment targets like this. If after a few bad trades you're below your target, you'll end up making more risky moves in order to catch up which might end up turning even worse. Personally I don't think it's unrealistic at all. You could easily make over 10% monthly during last year's bull market. Swing trading can work quite well if you're good at interpreting the charts even if you have limited knowledge about the company. You need time to watch the market though, something most people with a full-time job don't have |

polopili 06/17/18 9:20:05 PM #10 | Engineer in the lumber industry. I travel between sawmills in North America to install equipment that they buy from my company. It's alright, I eat a lot of junk food and play on my Vita during plane trips. |

polopili 06/14/18 12:09:58 PM #14 | best car as far as compacts go. Corolla might be a bit cheaper but it feels A LOT cheaper once you drive it. |

Topic | I want to know a few things about Canada. |
polopili 06/13/18 9:42:02 AM #9 | As a Quebecker who spends a lot of time traveling across US (esp the South) and to other provinces for work, I'd say that there are quite a lot of social differences between Canada and the US, even among the more liberal Northern states. 1. Canada doesn't like guns as much as the US. There are definitely gun nuts and hunting enthusiasts who enjoy collecting them, but there's no 2nd amendment debate here. Gun laws are quite different and more restrictive in most provinces. 2. Religion is not as big, particularly when you compare it to the Southern states. 3. People are not as paranoid about everything. They don't feel like they need guns for protection from criminals or the government. The small government advocates are present but not as big. Maybe it's because you guys have to read 1984 in high school and are taught that this is what happens when the government takes too much control? Like I'm not too sure where this fear of the state comes from. Then again the US government is so big, I guess I kinda understand how people feel it doesn't serve their interest. 4. The whole liherals vs conservatrolls debate seems crazy for outsiders, it's pretty specific to the US although it is somewhat present elsewhere (see brexit). |
Topic | Trump says he'll punish 'the people of Canada' because of Trudeau |
polopili 06/12/18 3:01:43 PM #41 | ClunkerSlim posted... TheUsualSuspect posted...People clearly don't understand Canada's 270% tariffs. Unlike Trump's petty tariffs, they served a purpose, they revitalized the Canadian dairy industry and serve to protect the farmers What about the US lumber tariffs? Its been settled in court several times that they were illegal. |
Topic | I post new zombie games coming out and we talk about it and rate them. |
polopili 06/11/18 11:21:04 AM #7 | Did you try project zomboid? I gave it a try and it felt really clunky, especially the inventory management and The Sims 1 graphics. Basically the EVE online of zombie games. |
Topic | Is fortnite actually good? |
polopili 06/11/18 9:07:46 AM #9 | It's alright. I like solo play in fortnite better than pubg but pubg is better for groups. Also don't play in groups if you don't want to hear kids screaming at you. |

polopili 06/07/18 10:13:59 PM #7 | Anarchy_Juiblex posted... I don't think the U.S. is in any position to be laughing at Canada for its election results. Im not American, but the laughing matter is that us Canadians like to act like were smarter than the US by pointing at the president. |

polopili 06/02/18 8:30:19 PM #12 | Hes not a very good wrestler but he did a great job at being a big star and make money for the company on a consistent basis. His time as a champ was incretibly boring and forgettable but hes not to blame for this. |

Topic | Is this just me or most acts of feminism are shit? |
polopili 06/01/18 8:11:55 AM #5 | Im curious about why theres so many people here mad about feminism. Like nobody forces you to pay on a date and you guys would whine about discrimination against men if they encouraged women to work in mens fields. |

Topic | is it true slavery in america is legal as punishment for a crime? |
polopili 04/12/18 8:49:45 AM #14 | Rika_Furude posted... Why isn't slavery of a prisoner ok? If the justice system makes money from prisonners, it becomes a profiteable business and it's goal is no longer justice but profits. |
