It's the company, too. It's the difference between getting things done or getting buried in bureaucracy and stupid management ideas and then being blamed for the failure of said ideas.
I agree that the colleagues are very important. But you can kill the best team with enough bad management decisions.
As for 'black marks', I'd wager a professional and legal adult or gambling company will be a pro on your resume. As was said previously, those are usually bleeding edge in technology and/or security aspects. And if the guy doing the interview starts wagging his eyebrows at you, it doesn't bode well for his company's professionalism.
Even if you were right, what is the intent of pointing it out? Are you trying to omit fact and rational thought by looking down upon his opinion just because he is, again assuming, under the age of 25?
they simply don't understand the long term psychological effects on their self-esteem, their happiness, their sense of identity, etc. maintaining these aspects of self are often not even concepts most of them recognize yet
Ah because, when I look around me in todays world, those things are really important to non-molested kids. Yeah, right.
Also, I find it interesting how you judge sexual relations with an adult as having a negative impact. Is it really so hard to think of positive scenarios to actually make a fair decision?
As for self-esteem, don't you think that it would be something to be proud of, being included in an adult situation even though age-wise you're considered a kid? At that age, I always felt proud being included as an equal in any activity adults performed. Not that that included sexual things, but imagine the sex is good, where would the negativity you proclaim come into play?
To destroy happiness, you need negative input, no? So if sex with another 13 year old is enjoyable, why not with an adult who has experience and does not need so much instant self-gratification? Ever think about that?
See, I don't doubt that a lot, even most, such relationships are not built upon true consent, but acting as if this could not happen and making one involved party look like hellspawn surely is not the way to deal with a problem in this day and age.
While I agree with you that the blood is not needed, it's still pretty strange to be shooting at zombies with no visible damage done to them.
Frankly, as it stands they could just remove the zombies altogether and replace them with fuzzy forest animals and they could replace the guns with paintball markers. The game would not lose any more immersion, I believe.
AFAIK, this game is supposed to be one of those "You're all alone (as a group) surrounded by zombies. Will you survive the adrenalin?". Now it's just a game of tag.
Thereby teaching people it's okay to scam away as long as they just get a few million out of it. So when about a thousand different people do it independently, you're looking at total damages of 1.5 BILLION all of a sudden.
Sure, hte effort cost a lot of money but imagine what would happen if people started to believe they can get away with this sort of thing.
Is it just me or is there a lot of Troll/Flamebait moderating going on lately about things that are not quite a majority opinion? I suspect someone doesn't like me much, too, as I'm getting modded Troll days after having been modded Insightful or some such. And I'm not the only one.
Israel, Israel, Israel. Has it occurred to you that, remotely possibly, not all of us believe that the world revolves around Israel?
With all the skeletons in their closets, I'm not sure I'd bat an eye if Israel would actually be removed from the map.
Now before you people go screaming bloody murder, I don't know many people from Israel. Actually, I know none. I do not judge them. All I judge is the governments behaviour and at this point, it's abominable.
In my country, people of four different languages live together. We have freedom of religion. I don't consider us superhumans. So do excuse me if I am not impressed by a country that fails to manage to have two ethnic groups live together peacefully. And I don't even want to hear whose fault that is. Israel is by FAR the top dog in that region. They have superior weapons, superior training and superior infrastructure. Being the Goliath in this equation, it would be their duty to end this 'war'.
Thank you. I love it how both the bible and the quaran get misquoted regularly. Interestingly enough, not in the same direction of the 'warm and fuzzy feelings'-scale.
I'd agree with Australia and New Zealand... but are you fricking out of your mind about the others?!
America has proven to be untrustworthy repeatedly. So has Israel, war mongering bastards that they are. Being surrounded by EU countries, let me tell you that I trust them as far as I can bloody throw the lot of them.
If it's a matter of trust, frankly I trust no single country to have nukes. I want OPPOSING forces to have nukes in order to generate a stalemate. That's the only security there is.
Iran has signed, to my knowledge, a treaty about nuclear arms reduction, granting them the fricking right to use nuclear material for peaceful purposes.
Germany has not, and as the German comedian Volker Pispers is apt to say: After all, it was Iran who was responsible for two World Wars, unlike Germany who has such a great track record.
Basically, we are breaking the contract here. So what if Iran knows how to build them? As long as they do not, they are keeping their end of the deal, whereas we are all out breaking it just because we don't like their faces, or some such.
Our being afraid is good enough reason to force our wishes upon them? And you fucking wonder why the Arab nations like us westerners so much?
While I agree with your last statement, I do have to wonder about your idea of common courtesy. My wife and I usually close the window.
Talking about dysfunctional, though, it seems strange that your kid feels the need to turn up the stereo. I still can not believe that the thought of your own parents having sex is 'icky' to people without something having gone wrong in their sexual upbringing (and I, too, find the thought of my parents having sex 'icky', make no mistake).
In our household, sex is discussed very openly today and I sure as hell won't change that just because kids have taken over the house;).
Knitting isn't cheap. My wife's been knitting for only a few months now and she goes through enough material to cost way more than WoW would.
Because, you know, once you invest hours into knitting socks or a sweater, it suddenly makes sense to buy quality material. Like alpaca or merino wool. You don't get those for free.
AFAIR, a pair of socks already costs more than a WoW subscription and it will definitely not take her a whole month to finish the socks.
This does not mean I don't see knitting as the superior hobby (I'm quite biased, but after all, it is only my opinion), it just means it's definitely not cheaper.
Diet sodas make your body expect energy. That energy does not arrive. Therefore your body makes you feel hungry to provide for the already ramped up production.
Sugarfree gum and diet soda is therefore something that will never find their way into my hands.

Sounds like a similar problem many women report with female gynaecologists.
Well, now this is a chance to save all those homophobes, too. On the other hand, that also makes me question how this is supposed to be better ;).

Your post contributes nothing to this discussion.

Which isn't all that much better with other kinds of batteries.
I, for one, would welcome such a thing in a Laptop or even the cell phone. Or imagine fully electric cars equipped with those things.
Just to save people time, if you were thinking of learning German, look elsewhere.
Then don't import. Download an ISO off of bittorrent and have the key sent by email.

Anyone else get the same vibes?
I've long thought it time to stop mislabelling our governments as democracies ;).
Seeing as you bring forth no arguments as to why I am saying stupid things I believe it safe to ignore your opinion.

The thing is built upon a PS3 Slim. Linux is not an option.

I've yet to see art, then. Where can it be found? Certainly not in galleries. I've never seen stuff like that in those places.

While I agree with your post, I'd like to point out that you mean kmph or km/h. kph would be kilos per hour... but kilos of what?
