Someone teach me football.

I don't care about playing it, but I've decided that since I joined some fantasy football league, i should know about football. I decided that I supported Everton because they're sponsored by a beer, but then arsenal beat them 6-1, so now I support arsenal.

So would anyone be interested in teaching me everything I need to know about arsenal and the premier league?

The team with the most money buys the best foreign players then those foreign players kick the ball better than the English players and the English team that inst really English because it only has foreign players because English players suck wins and then you get points in your silly fantasy league.

Never speak to me ever again. In fact I think it would be better if you just left altogether.

There's only one team in North London.

C.O.Y.S!

Liverpool FTW?

Is it me or is that him (2nd interview)? This has probably been posted but o well.

Football

If i were to say i supported a team it would be Liverpool, i can't support Manchester because of Wayne Rooney, Coventry team sucks, and i don't keep up with any others :S.

Looks exactly like him and its for Armor games, so I'm going yes.

Football

Crystal Palace ftw. Not that I can name one of the players or even what league they're in this week, but YEAH CRYSTAL PALACE FTW

A level results

It's A level results day today, and I got my AS Maths core 1 result back (I did it a year early), and I got 99/100 :D the frustrating thing was that I worked out the answer to the question I got wrong on the way home from the exam ¬¬

That was pretty funny. I've never seen that before. :)

Ah, yes. I got my results today too. By some weird fluke, I got a D in Core 4 Mathematics (completely failed at time management there), yet still averaged an A overall.

That 99/100 certainly is impressive though! Are you planning on doing Further Maths once you've finished A2 Maths (if you intend to, that is)?

Nice one :)

Thanks :) Yeah I'm doing further maths, 3 sciences and computing, all of which are very action packed ¬¬ haven't chosen my A2s yet, but I'm probably going to drop chemistry and keep the rest.

In 2004 I got really excited about Cafepress and stuck my logo on a couple stickers and a mousepad. It was sort of arrogant to get a mousepad with my own name on it but I couldn't believe how awesome Cafepress was. I've haven't replaced it yet, even though it's really trashy and nasty. Definitely wasn't meant to hold up this long, the top fabric is fading into the cushy foam below.

I think it's fantastic :D You should get a new one. I bet it really motivates you in your career as a developer when you can jusjavascript:BBSPost.Save();t look down at your mouse and be like: "Yeah, I am awesome".

I don't get that logic.

I like that he tried to sue the city. That shows intelligence. Maybe he should work for the pol- nevermind.

You wouldn't; you're clearly too smart to understand it.

Jokes aside, the idea behind it isn't completely ridiculous. You don't need to be clever to be an officer, and their reasoning of "he would probably get bored" made some sort of sense.
But rejecting people with an IQ equivalent of about 125? Sure, it's high, but it's not like he was in MENSA or anything.

Besides, it could be argued that a smart person is more likely to commit to a job, considering all the thinking they (probably) put into choosing it.

I don't see how the logic is bad at all, and the higher the expense of training the more it makes sense to interview people who are likely to make it their career. 125 isn't that high, but I assume they get plenty of applicants, and you have to draw the line somewhere.

Eh, with the job market the way it is, people are trying to get any job they can. People with college degrees are applying for service jobs and are being rejected for being over qualified, since if they could get a job somewhere else they would, and that means they will probably be leaving within a few years.

I think it makes sense, but whether it's discrimination or not is an interesting question.

It's no discrimination though, it's like the whole god awful "We need 3 blacks and 2 women in our department to be politically correct." Suitability for the job should be the only consideration, if he's too smart and therefore is at risk of being bored and quitting why should they employ him?

i admit it. i like making walking animations.

Perhaps he should move up and down a bit as he walks? But then again he's a very cartoonish character so its not imperative that he does aye?

In an ideal world that would work. Unfortunately there are still a lot of racist, sexist idiots out there, and at the end of the day the unfair outcome of employing someone with fewer qualifications to fill a gap is far less shitty than the alternative unfair outcome of having a tonne of asshole managers just not employing minorities at all.

It's the lesser of two evils. The change in attitudes that can be effected by keeping these targets justifies a hypothetical 'qualified white guy not getting hired' situation (which would be a fairly rare occurence even in the worst case scenario, and in any case a qualified white guy is hardly going to starve).

His feet don't move far enough behind his butt. It looks like he's wanting to limbo.

The animation's godly, but look at his facial expression.

Cool, I'll read it first thing in the morning.
Going to bed now though, so I'm going to stop bothering you with my just-too-frequent posts.

the sinks in the bathroom at the chief were interesting.
