Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

I've regained faith in humanity, there are some people not on facebook.

@MegaMari0 Congrats my man!

Mark Zuckerberg expects everybody to have a Facebook account by 2020. Gives me another reason to be happy with my choice of quitting Facebook cold-turkey.

I found my game cube's composite AV cable. Which is conveniently compatible with the SNES, and just in time for the arrival of my super game boy (which I suspect will get here later this week).

The difference from coaxial to AV is pretty noticeable, I wasn't expecting that!

I've just booked and paid for my holiday to Germany for Oktoberfest next year. To heck with Xmas with it's snow and pretty trees and to heck with Easter with it's eggs and chocolate, celebrating beer and sausages is a real holiday!

Seems like our chat room is on the verge of death once again, come join in sometime!

that's 98% of guys on facebook.

I just had a terribly sad experience at my home. We were meant to take care of one my sister's friends kitten; Breespees was his name. They came over to accustom our Dogs to him since our oldest Dog, Snoopy, has never been with a Cat and tended to hunt smaller animals. Everything went fine originally, since Snoopy had always been an obedient Dog, and our other Dog, Tico was always just a goofball. But Tico decided to startle the Kitten which caused him to run and Tico being playful and a goofball, decided to chase him. Snoopy instinctively chased after the Breespees and well caught him. Sadly it all happened in a blink of an eye; luckily Breespees didn't suffer as he passed away nearly instantly. I feel a bit depressed at the moment.

A similar thing happened with my pitbull and a kitten my brother rescued.

We were feeding it at suddenly the pitbull did a "bark bite", I'm sure she didn't meant to actually kill it, since she usually does that thing to startle other animals away from her food... The kitten was really small and slow though, so she actually hit it with her fangs, which was enough.

Yeah, it was sad and shocking

About the fabled bark bite, it's when my dog does a loud bark and lunges her snout forward at the same time. It ends up being very scary for whatever is receiving it. She does it rarely, but mostly when food is involved.

Oh, I'm sorry. Snoopy use to do that when he was younger, but he grew out of it.

Anyways, we just buried the Breespees under the peach tree at the end of our farm; I feel terrible.

@Aromaiden @Morpheel My condolences.

Oh don't worry, my case happened long ago.

@Morpheel Ah. Still, it's sad to hear what happened.

@NintendoFan64: Thanks, I appreciate it.

Well, both the Sonic Boom games came out last year on November 11th, making them officially one year old today. Whether you were satisfied with the games or not is up to you, but I'm glad I got to enjoy them both. I'm also happy that the show is doing well; I love it! I hope everyone will enjoy Fire and Ice once it comes out.

Hooray, I got the job! My first job.

loud ahem If I may. I use FB to talk to my friends another continent away, catch up on what my favourite organizations and friends are doing, and get news. And I'm a guy.
Even if FB can be very stupid at times (the Trending section needs to go, IMO), I think it's still a fun little pastime. But JUST barely...

Anybody else kinda hating how jobs require you to apply online now?

Almost everyjob I checked out ask me to apply online, and then I get absolutely no feeback.. I mean yeah, I guess that means they don't need someone, but I liked the jobs that I got to meet the boss one on one, fill out a few papers, and then have a handshake to atleast give them a reason to want me over somebody else..

Kmart especially right now as been driving me insane, I've been trying to apply there for a dishwasher, and the managers+employees all said you're hired as long as you filled out the app online. I go to the website, NOTHING, there is nothing on it to apply for.. then they gave me the URL directly to the application, takes me to the sear's coorporation website instead... I don't know how kmart.com = sears.org... The one job that finally wants me, I can't legitmately apply for.. just because their hiring methods are very unorganized. I don't get what was so bad about filling a piece of paper at the store. I asked them for a physical app, but they said "we no longer supply those".

I'm going to ask them one more time (third time) for a solution to this, and see if maybe somebody can walk me through it on their own computer.. as I'm having 0 luck right now... I'm almost hestitate to do this too, I'm not getting the job if I get on their nerves inorder to apply for it. I don't know how the other employees applied but I'm not seeing or finding what they signed up with, even with their direct URLs. I build computers and this is insulting that I can't find a correct sign in location.

I'm a fan of technology, but there are just certain things it's more of an inconvience for than it's worth..

Really?!? I leave the site for one day, and a thread gets inducted into the hall of fame? Not cool.
BTW, Starbucks is NOT coffee. Most of the products at Starbucks are Ice cream thinly veiled as coffee so that 17 year old girls can drink them and think that they're cool. And then they sip on their $8 Mochafrappiswirlivelvesugarchinos and say "Oh my gawd, I'm like, totally a coffeeholic". Screw Starbucks.
Edit: Whoa, you know, there should actually be a hall of fame forum here...

@MegaBeedrill: I a very convenient medium. That way they dont have ri spend time explaining how to get apply there and rather make money. So yeah it can be very frustrating.
