The Flood / what should i do in the event of a work related injury?« on: January 06, 2017, 12:46:44 PM »
was just clearing out some of the body parts from the machine we scrapped and our dumpster fell on the arch of my foot (just past the steel toe). been limping from pain ever since. my boss told me not to tell the doctor it was at work because the paper work you have to do isnt worth it when you know youre going to get better. i just dont want to get jipped out of pay if im not allowed to work for awhile by not telling them it was at work.

The Flood / how much of a raise should i ask for?« on: January 05, 2017, 02:44:22 PM »
started this job 3 months ago. thats usually the "probabtion" period where they try you out and see if youre a good fit for the establishment. they told me id be making 14 an hour when I started, and "we'll see how it goes from there."
3 months have gone and im going to ask for a raise by the fourth (dont want to seem too greedy) but im not sure how much to ask for. ideally, if theycould match what i was making when i left construction (20/hour) id be ecstatic. but im also realistic and thats quite the jump from 14. im thinking 17 or 18 would be more reasonable, but should i negotiate and start at 20 to bring them down? or actually go for the 20/hour? 214

The Flood / question about anime« on: December 07, 2016, 08:40:11 PM »
so does all/most of anime produced today have sexual content involved
i'm talking about stuff that's a little less martial artsy or whatever. not like dragon ball or any of that shit. i'm only thinking cuz i'm subiscribed to funimation on youtube and they're always posting these super sexualised video clips of the shows they produce and if you look up some of them they all have sexual scenes and shit. bikini warriors, in particular. i mean, the scenes they show are sexual, but only suggestive, really. but you can look up the uncenssored shit and its basiaclly porn. is this just common place in anime or what? my exposure to anime is basically only naruto and dbz so this is really where my conceptions come from 220

The Flood / Super Saiyan 3 was the biggest mistake of Dragon Ball.« on: November 29, 2016, 08:33:27 PM »YouTube Forgive the somewhat dorky commentator. Any Dragon Ball YouTuber is like that. Anyways, the topic is something I find fairly interesting. I'll sumarise if you don't feel like watching, as well as putting my 2 cents in at the end. Before the days of Goku spoon-feeding Majin Buu (and the readers) an understanding of Super Saiyan transformations, we had the "Super Saiyan Grade" levels. Which went as follows: Super Saiyan - Goku achieved this after Krillin was killed by Freeza on Namek. Your average transformation, anyone who has achieved a Super Saiyan state went through this form first. Super Saiyan Grade 2 - Super Vegeta. He and Trunks achieved this form after training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and used it against Semi-Perfect Cell. Keeps the energy inside the user and increases muscle mass and strength, but sacrifices speed a manageable amount. Super Saiyan Grade 3 - Super Trunks. Trunks uses this form against Perfect Cell after Vegeta gets knocked out. Vastly increases strength while greatly reducing speed. Super Saiyan Grade 4 - Also called "Full-power Super Saiyan." The strain of Super Saiyan is completely negated because the user is so comfortable in the form. Goku and Gohan achieved this form after their time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. And finally, Super Saiyan Grade 5 - A fully fleshed-out form of Super Saiyan. Capable of greater strength than any grade before without sacrificing speed. The ultimate fighting transformation a Saiyan can achieve. Gohan achieved this form while fighting Cell as Android 16 was killed. And that was [supposed to be] it. Dragon Ball was meant to end after the Cell Saga. But due to demand, the series continued to [arguably] its worst arc. The regular Super Saiyan transformation was reduced to a child's plaything, Super Saiyan Grade 5 was barely touched on in lieu of Super Saiyan 3, an admittedly cool transformation that solidifies my main complaint with Dragon Ball after the Buu Saga: it's not about martial arts or fighting anymore. It's about transformations and power levels. Not only is Super Saiyan 3 arguably the worst Super Saiyan transformation, in terms of combat viability, it also opens up the door to all sorts of weirdo transformations designs and concepts. It's kind of what Akira is doing in Super now, where he has stated there will no longer be any use for anything after the original Super Saiyan (including Blue). This is a shame. Super Saiyan 2 should be that form. Not only did he pick the worst Super Saiyan form to base Blue off of (in both design and power multipliers), it's also just a lazy recolour. I really enjoyed Resurrection F's fight scene before Blue showed up. Goku's Saiyan Beyond God form against Final Form Freeza was awesome -- it was the first time I've ever thought base form Goku was cool looking. If anything, I'd be okay with the Saiyan Beyond God form to be the only form they use in Super now. Super Saiyan Blue is incredibly stupid, but that's another conversation. Anyways, I've been watching a few videos on Super and the levels of power these characters are capable of just ridiculous. Universal strength? Goku was, at best, a multi-Solar System buster in the Buu Saga. Now he shatters the fabric of the universe. Whatever. Anyways, I thought it was cool to go back to a time before we thought of them as Super Saiyan 1, 2 and 3. 223
Gaming / anybody here play xenoverse 2?« on: November 24, 2016, 06:40:06 PM »
i've been enjoying myself a lot. character customisation is a little shitty especially considering the last game i was able to do this in was ultimate tenkaichi. but the combat is the best weve ever had.
i specialise in frieza race and earthling. id use saiyan but the hairstyles and lack of stylisation when you transform is a deal breaker. what do you guys think also add me on xbox one if you wanna run some pqs or something 224

The Flood / what should i do?« on: October 28, 2016, 01:36:05 PM »
so currently i own 2 cars:
82 firebird with a 3 speed auto v8 RWD and 04 sunfire fwd 5 speed 4 cylinder the sunfire wont pass safety without 900 bucks in repairs, at which point id save about 100 bucks a month on insurance and a LOT on gas (like 200-300 bucks a month) but if i were to move forward with the sunfire id have to uninsure my firebird, which is already street-ready. snowtires and everything. the sunfire gives me a lot more freedom to leave the city because of its fuel efficiency, and its a tad more reliable but i really dont have the funds to fix this thing what do 228
The Flood / Is fuel injection really that much more fuel efficient?« on: October 26, 2016, 05:46:50 PM »
I mean, the 5.7 TPI was no marathon runner but it still lasted me 3 or 4 days on a full tank.
But this carbeurator is killing me at 50 bucks a day, man. It's actually fucked. Is my fuel gauge just malfunctioning or is carbeuration just that bad? 229
The Flood / Guess who bought themselves a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am? (HQ images)« on: October 19, 2016, 06:34:58 PM »
I did, that's who.
[Fair warning: the images are pretty high-quality, to allow for zooming into details and whatnot. For the first page or so it'll be a pretty slow load.] Day of purchase: October 18th, 2016: 1982 Pontiac Firebird TRANS AM with an LG4 305 5.0 L V8. 130K KMs on the motor. Got it for a steal. Needs a safety but I should be getting that done in a couple days. Things I'd like to get done ASAP: - Safety test. - Rear tail lights need new bulbs and potentially fuses. - Speakers are shit, maybe need to buy a new tape deck because mine sounds awful. I actually could use some help in this area, as I have no idea what exactly is causing my sound quality to be so bad. - Interior in general could use some fixes. The whole dashboard appears to be crooked. Some of the gauges, including oil temperature and voltage (as well as fuel, I suspect) need to be fixed. - New transmission handle. I hate the one that's in there, and I'd like to get one of those cool looking ones with the button on the side. - Centre console needs a cover. It's ripped off. 230

The Flood / AMA Going to have to quit my job.« on: October 12, 2016, 05:46:33 PM »
Started this construction gig just over a month ago. Guy routinely neglected to pay me (he actually owes me about $700, not including this week's work.) Doing construction is all fine and good, but the boss is extremely hard to work with. Add on top of that my severe lack of experience doing basic things like shoveling or using a wheelbarrow and his poor teaching skills and short temper and, well, you have less optimal working conditions.
Anyways, I was offered a job at a mechanics shop learning from the ground up the ancient art of fixing cleaning machines. You probably seen them at churches or community centres, they're like zambonis but for the floor. 14/hour, 8 AM - 5 PM everyday. Time and a half on weekends, cash pay. Benefits. Car insurance (which is good considering my last encounter with the long dick of the law will probably set me back a few bucks on insurance.) Called the guy and left a message but things look good. All I gotta do is tell my current boss. I'm going to miss learning all the little tricks of construction and the effects its had on my physical shape but this work is seasonal so I'd only have a month or two left and I'm ass at it. At least I know my way around electronics and mechanics somewhat. 232

The Flood / "A Minute To Breathe" -- Reznor, Ross and Santaoalla« on: October 07, 2016, 05:12:27 PM »
Apple Music link. Check it out.
For an upcoming film directed by Leo DiCaprio titled, "Before the Flood". Global warming call-to-action, basically. Reminiscent of Still's "And All That Could Have Been". I liked it, but I didn't pick up on any of Santaoalla's influence at all. He's pretty distinct in his sound but I guess he was overpowered by Ross/Reznor? Definitely buying this album when it's available. 235

The Flood / i've been thinking a bit about friendship lately.« on: September 18, 2016, 04:11:04 PM »
and i think you can only really be someone's friend if you support them in everything -- even when they're wrong.
for example, a friend of mine is routinely cheating on his wife. now, i personally wouldn't do something like that and i think it's wrong, but truly having someone's back and being loyal, to me, is more important than doing what is maybe the morally right thing to do. because he would for me. and i think that's what defines friendship. it's almost an extension of family, really. i would never want to put one of my friends in a morally ambiguous position but i'd like to think there's a few i could absolutely go to with any of my problems for help. just something i've been tossing around lately. 239
