I’ve met a great many people who are religious and are also open-minded. But for every one of them, there are 99 others who are ignorant. I’m glad you can see past dogma and see people as people.

I had a similar situation with my last job. I was getting raises and the job was a piece of cake. But after 5 years, I had no growth and there was no sign of that changing. Being a programmer, stagnating might as well equal career death. I loved the company and the people I worked with, but every year that goes by the…

Eventually rarely comes, brother. After 9 years, they would have moved you up by now. The only one losing out is you. Sorry to say it bluntly, but maybe it’s time to leave your comfort zone for a better opportunity. If you decide to stay and your skill set hasn’t grown or it looks like you haven’t made any career…

I was going to say something similar, but I think you nailed it.

Short answer: You can’t.

I agree with you. I don’t have solid numbers, of course, but it seems that most of the so-called critics never even played the game. How would anyone know a game sucks unless they played it?

“..they sucked” - took the words right out of my mouth!

Anything related to Fox can die as far as I’m concerned.

Kids will keep you from sleeping late ever again! Of course, you won’t feel rested either.

Some people say aks instead of ask.

When I was stationed in Korea, I ate a lot of ramen (ramyun). Their favorite add-on was sliced American cheese. I’m not sure if they just put that on there for us because we were American, or if it was something they universally did. Either way, I was suprised at how good it was when the cheese melts and gets all…

Same in Florida.

One doesn’t need to work for mental stimulation, but I can see how it can give people purpose and camaraderie that they might not have outside of the office.

WTF is wrong with people? Maybe we should ship them all back to Europe where they came from.

In Italy, no less.

My kids and I really wanted to try leek soup after watching Fruits Basket. One of the characters would always blow up when they made leek soup. I’d never had it before and it was really good. Also good: potato and leek soup.

Those standardized tests are really paying off!
