    Looks like I'm out. I have no interest in a slow server.

    Career advice needed

    Ya, I'm not too into material wealth or possessions. I'm a bit of a minimalist when it comes to that. However, I value being able to travel and not living paycheck to paycheck. I'm happiest when I don't have to think about money. I've spoken with enough retirees to know that life's too...

    Career advice needed

    Teaching at a university pays well. Also, being in California helps. I started making $15k more a year just by changing states and essentially keeping the same job. My current job caps at $96k after 20 years. I'm just over the teaching aspect. Doesn't do it for me anymore. On paper these...

    Bachelor's in music and Master's in conducting. I've taught all age groups up through college. I've conducted musicals, recorded soundtracks, composed, and been a guest conductor for various groups. I really don't want to teach ever again. Hours are bad and the pay isn't good enough to...

    Career advice needed

    I really don't think it's the lifestyle that's the problem. I don't live extravagantly by any means. I'd be content to sit on my couch all day watching movies and playing video games. If a job is just a means to do what you really like outside of work, then I feel like I should gear up for...

    Career advice needed

    I'm having somewhat of an existential dilemma. I've pretty much gotten the jobs I thought I wanted to get, but with each one, I either end up hating it or feel like I'm just wasting my time. I would look at coworkers that had been at the job for 20+ years and I would think "there's no way I...

    Well my free month is up tomorrow, and I don't think I'll be subbing. Tried out all the classes and ended up taking archer the furthest. Got to 26 with a bunch others in the upper teens. I really wanted to like this game since my brother plays and he's level 50, but there's just some...

    Well I played Lestavt the SK in Progression 1.0, but switched to Trel the Bard in Progression 2.0. For this next iteration, I'm not sure what I'll play. My current candidates are enchanter, shaman or wizard.

    The Matrix (1999)

    They did show him copy himself onto another agent. Essentially the machines were powerless against him. He was a virus that spread through the entire Matrix. That's why they needed Neo in Revolutions. The machines plugged him back in to save the Matrix for everyone.

    New Progression Server confirmed

    I'm definitely interested. Cheyla and I are no longer together, so she won't be back. But I'd probably 2-box. Was just thinking what I would play this time. I feel like I played the best class (bard) last time around. So, I'm not sure what I'll do. Maybe enchanter. And ya, getting...

    Just watched Alien Resurrection again since I couldn't remember much about it off the top of my head. Movie sucked. Changing my rating to a 3.5.

    Like I said, my brother plays and wants me to join him. We used to raid together in EQ1. He told me it's the best MMO story that he's played since EQ. So far, I'm bored. There's just been a bit of a disconnect since the beginning. I'm usually pulled in by this stuff, but not for a moment in...

    My brother plays this so I'm trying to give this thing a chance. Been playing for a week and it's just not fun. I don't care anything about the world or the characters and there is SO MUCH DIALOGUE. I'm level 17 and have started to just click through it all. If I play for an hour, I swear 45...

    It's cool, you didn't like the movie. I'm not here to change your mind. Just calling out the bullshit when people say "0/10" or "WORST MOVIE EVER." From reading the other thread in General, I imagine part of your distaste for the film was that it does away with your god as the creator of...

    Not true at all. I just tend to forget the movies that sucked and move on. I already listed the 2 AvP movies as movies I didn't like. If I just listed movies that I thought sucked, we'd be here all night.

    Ya, I grew up a few years later on Back to the Future, which I would give a 10. I can't get enough of that movie. Some other 10s in the sci-fi area that come to mind are 2001 and Terminator 2.

    I actually like Alien3 as well. Just not as much as the first two. The first two scared the shit out of me when I was little. If it's higher than a 5, I liked it. 5 is "meh" territory. Under 5 is didn't like it. I personally wouldn't put the first two at 10s because I'm not drawn into...

    You would assume correctly. Alien - 8.5 Aliens - 9 Alien3 - 6 Alien Res. - 5 (only saw it once when it first came out. don't really remember much. but it felt kinda meh) Prometheus - 7.5 -------------------------------- Cloud Atlas was pretty cool. Better than Jupiter Ascending...

    Do you work for Fox News? Skewing the results all to one side like that is so disingenuous. Do you think it's funny, or cute? It detracts from people whom are actually looking for a serious answer. Do think it makes you more credible by stating a movie deserves 0/10? Have you actually...

    Just got back from seeing it in IMAX 3D with the girlfriend. Coming from someone who LOVES everything Wachowski, I didn'tlovethis. I liked it. Liked it a lot even. There were times that it seemed it was going to step into great territory, but didn't. I left wanting more. Girlfriend said...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    If it's true that time doesn't exist, it seems that a plausible explanation is that our perception creates the illusion of motion. I've read a bunch of the different philosopher's ideas and they don't do it for me. But taking away time seems to open new possibilities.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    YES! That's it, exactly. Thank you. Worded much better as well. Reading some of the responses on the wiki, they refer to time being the answer. The topic came up because the debate was about whether or not time actually exists.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Science bros, I need your thoughts. Just got back from a philosophy debate that I only caught part of, so forgive me if I do a terrible job explaining this. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it. The argument was about movement, and how it's seemingly impossible. The notion was...
