  1. AP Exams

    Wow. I'm going to be a sophomore in college this coming year. This is nostalgia city. It felt so weird this summer not waiting for scores to come in the mail. But to actually contribute something for anyone thinking of taking any in the fall. For me the math and science ones paid off the most...
  2. Practicing Self-Discipline

    Pocket I do not know what your daily schedule is like but napping in the late-ish afternoon always helps me. Like around when I would get home from work/school/whatever and probably spend my time unwinding otherwise. And I do agree exercise at night can be helpful it always gives me about an...
  3. why did the baker have brown hands

    what did the boy with no arms or legs get for christmas cancer
  4. Rank the trainer battle music across the generations

    1 > 5 > 2 > 4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3 Absolutely hated three. Coincidentally (or maybe not there could be some correlation there I really hated it that much) three is my least favorite gen ingame. Five would be first if not for nostalgia. I wish I could put GSC higher...
  5. What makes you HAPPY today?

    I work in an amusement park gift shop and currently we have these gummy bears a bit smaller than size of a fist in stock. One of them has 1,200 calories and 105g of sugar, and is also really REALLY overpriced at $10 plus tax. Our manager offered us a challenge where we would get free some ice...
  6. Discrimination?

    Seeing as everybody else addressed your question pretty thoroughly...were you very interested in joining the military or were you more or less just mildly interested and made this thread to understand what they were thinking?
  7. Is it wrong not to aim to be rich?

    on a somewhat related note i read a cool article the other day about the negative psychological effects of being rich. sorry if everyone's read this it is a month or two old. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/print/2011/04/secret-fears-of-the-super-rich/8419/
  8. General Lickerature

    I recently read People of the Lie by Scott Peck and it was a fun, albeit uncomfortable at times, read. He discusses human evil and its characteristics and comes upon a (in my opinion) solid definition of it. He's a psychiatrist and uses a lot of (at times cliché and altered) case studies, which...
  9. job thread

    I work as a cashier at a local amusement park. On a given day I'll work the cash register at the main gate and pass at wristbands and stuff, work in the gift shop or locker rentals for the water park. The gift shop is easily the worst, as we don't really get to sit down and have to constantly...
  10. how you've grown

    Well StarGengar I decided after reading Jumpfluff's post that I would write something sincere but you pretty much said everything that I wanted to say. As for Jump I have never talked to you before and have no clue if I ever will but what you are doing is amazing and I found it really inspiring...
  11. The Downfall of Modern Rap Music

    I think it might have been in one of the top band threads from whatever back that someone, might have been Hipmonlee, that old music is basically hipster in itself. Even fairly mainstream music from way back is filtered out a lot as times pass. I might be because I'm not exceptionally music...
  12. how you've grown

    hindsight is 20/20, our current selves always suck we just need time because we are too blind in the present to see it.
  13. Wordplay.

    Along supply curve to find equilibrium intersect demand. I don't really do poetry but I always write my A.P. Economics teacher bad haiku's when I finish tests early because she thinks it's cute.
  14. Piracy and Illegal Downloads

    I would consider this a theft of my ideas and seek legal recourse, but I feel like this example is far more malicious than pirating music. This example was probably geared to be like that to drive in the point of intellectual property, but I think that pirating is significantly less douchey, to...
  15. Art 2.0

    This is being underplayed a bit. I feel that as much as we develop technology, in general, we still be drawn back to what is physical. I find it a lot more preferable to read a physical book or magazine article than to look it up online. There's something aesthetic (perhaps the better word is...
