I forgot that not being able to automatically link your own account to a new system that you own was even a thing in this day and age.

Haven't received any recent invites, but I am in a group. Probably the one you're talking about if you got your invite through here.

People doing back flips because the Switch doesn't make you contact Nintendo to link your account to another system anymore.
It unfortunately will de-link any other existing accounts if you do so. So no co-op on one system with different accounts I guess.
Some of those back flips turning into concrete kisses as we speak. You can feel the quiet deflation happening as people realize that they can't transfer and play whatever they already own on VC on the Switch.

It's nice knowing you will never be taller then 5'10 and look like a teenager until your late 20's due to genetics'. It's really fantastic feeling.

When my dad got taken to the emergency room last week(he's ok) the paramedics asked how old I was because they didn't know if it was ok to leave me by myself at my house.

6'3 but I'm glad I stopped. I don't play sports so I'm not doing anything with it other than reaching high shelves and having bad knees. My girlfriend is relatively tall but I still have to angle my head a weird way to kiss her.

Day been pretty cray. That damn train from last year was blocking my neighborhood again. On the way leaving Ia fox ran out from the woods. This was the first time I've ever seen one. I didn't think we got foxes where I live. I was pretty scared, but as soon as it saw me it ran. After walking back getting something to eat some white people in a truck drove by shouting shit at me. This has happened to me several times before and today it just made me madder than most and I turned around and looked them in the eye and was about to shout some shit back at them, but I didn't. Good thing too because those odds would've been against me. Coming back home about four deers crossed my path and into the trees.

Just the Lord telling me to stay away.


Definitely don't do a thing until you hear the other two offers/interviews.

That $9 per hour job, is it anything special? A side job? Because the math seems like a struggle. Just the fact that you have a $43k offer makes it seem like no contest. Factor in the Southern standard of living and you may get a 3 series out of this (don't do this, I'm joking). But that'll feel like $50-60k.

Why do you need your mom to drive there? Visits? Other commitments?

That $9 per hour job, with 2 hours of commute and a second interview seems off. Or is this a new normal?

If the SC job seems stable (maybe see if they'll let you talk to current workers or recently former employees to make sure it's not shady, ask questions if it'll be a move. You'll want 2 interviews for that one so you can basically interview them.)

I don't have my own car, that's why I need my mother to drive me to most of my interviews. The 9 per hour job is at a printing company. It'll take me 2hrs because I don't have a car. Driving it's like 20 min, but I have to take 3 buses every day that my mother is working.

Yeah, I was definitely leaning not to take the $9 per hour one since I don't think it's worth the trouble, not at least until I hear from the other two.

Yeah I reckon 6'3 is probably the cut off height before your clothes start costing shit loads. My cus spends £400 on just a shit pair of trainers due to him being 6'11 with size 17 feet. Fuck spending that much.

At 6'0 I barely make it over the cusp for what some chicks want. It's crazy. Someone can be 5'10 but a 5'9 chick will say they are short.


But shorter guys look better if they hit the gym regularly and have the same amount of muscle mass as a taller guy.

These CBS "special report" documentaries on racial strife from the mid 60s are hard hitting as fuck. They were biased as hell against the Black militant movements, (and, conversely, borderline dsimissive about White violence) but everyone interviewed, White and Black, is extremely honest, candid and forthcoming about where they stand on race issues.

In June 1963 64% of White liberals polled supported the Civil Rights movement, by September of 66, after the inner city uprisings/unrest, 73% of White liberals were opposed to the Civil rights movement, 70% of all White people polled said the pace of the Civil Rights movement was "too fast", and 80% of all Whites said Black demonstrations were "hurting the Negro cause."
