That's unfortunate John. What kind of watch is it? Worth having repaired?

That is unfortunate, John. I find that little knicks and scratches seem to go away on their own, or perhaps I notice them less on my own watch.

it was a 125 dollar watch from wenger. i wonder if they might replace the crystal if i send it in when i take advantage of their battery replacement service?

There was (there is[?]) a thread on /b/ about food and what they would say/think if they were able to talk/think...
If this was the case, would you retain your personality as a food?

>>39939
My main question would be, if we were reincarnated as a food item, would we get a choice, or would it be decided based on our personalities now.

A happy person would come back as a candy, an angry person would come back as a chilli pepper, etc. I suppose I might come back as unflavored yogurt, were that the case.

I don't really have anything to add. I don't have anything else to do, either, though, so hi. I'll probably have a futon at some point. I'm on a couch right now.

See you later, I guess. Well, probably not

I also suffer from sporadic memory problems, John.

I've been known to zone out for ~30 seconds in the middle of a conversation (and being the speaker). All situational awareness and short-term memory just vanishes for a period, poof. People think I'm on drugs, but I am completely sober when it happens. In fact it happens less if I drink.

I've been trying to fix my brain through diet and exercising the memory, but it's most likely this will stay with me for life.

Anyhow, for all we know, John, you came here to start a conversation about memory problems. But you forgot, and instead began a thread about memory problems. All's well that ends well. So I say, forget about it.

Procrastination, mainly. It's not great but it passes the time of day.

What sort of jobs have you applied for?

More often than not people complaining about not getting a job are doing so because they're either aiming too high or into a very competitive field. Rage-quitting your job is also not a good sign to prospective employers, I'd highly recommend taking up volunteer work, it will show any prospective employers you are actually prepared to work and can stick with a job even if there's no direct benefits. It also adds a whole list of experience and skills to your CV and provides a good reference from someone who hasn't been directly involved in your life.

Be careful of those 'ins' you're talking about. If your friends aren't productive workers or on good terms with the boss it'll likely work against.

>>39917
Brilliant.

Mostly part-time fast food jobs and store work.. Nobody even calls me back and nobody gives me any consideration if I call them.

I'm somewhat enthusiastic about about free software, but not evangelically so, John. I am quite comfortable about not bothering anyone else about my choice of operating system for my electrical computers. Most people I know neither have the practical experience I have, nor do they have the formal education, and thus I do not presume to understand their needs, as they are clearly different from mine.

Now, it might seem I am contradicting myself by writing this, but the goal is merely to provide an insight into my thoughts on the subject; rather than recommending Johns around the world to upset their workflow, and give them needless worries when something unexpected happens with their new operating system.

I've been running the Mepis distribution of Linux, based on Debian stable, for several years at this point and I have found it to be an exceptionally robust, reliable and thoroughly uninteresting operating system. By this I mean that I rarely offer the operating system much thought, if any, but rather just get on with my work. This is a satisfactory state of matters.

Now, for my sordid tale, which I am rapidly encroaching upon, it is one of woe and incompatibility between software of different systems. Recently, due to me returning to an institution of higher education, I was required to embark upon the writing of a lengthy report regarding matters which are of no consequence to this story. As my work progressed the shortcomings of the available office software on Linux systems became all to apparent, and I was somewhat reluctantly forced to acknowledge the superiority of some of Microsoft's products. Especially Word and Excel have capabilities far exceeding those of Libreoffice, and I can no longer hold on to my principles in this regard, but must rather take a more pragmatic approach, in order to ensure I get sufficient amounts of work done, without needlessly wasting time.

So, to cut this story short, I have come to the conclusion that I must install some version of Windows on my laptop and purchase a student license of Office. In some respects it saddens me, but objectively I know it to be the right choice given the circumstances. I think it's safe to summarize my feelings on the subject as ... /eh/.

I find it just a little disorganized, John. you should try to keep your shortcuts on the bottom of you desktop screen so you may see your wallpaper easier without having icons in the way.

>>39867
Your post is a true jewel of /eh/, John. Never before I felt so compelled to keep reading on a completely uninteresting issue for so many paragraphs.

>>39909
I think John should dispense of desktop icons altogether and set everything else to use small icons to maximize wallpaper-space.

Koyaanisqatsi is like that

The parts of "Monsters" where the protagonists wander aimlessly through the post-apocalyptic wastelands are like that.
Ruined cities, kid's wearing gas masks, a jet sinking into a river, the guy and girl climbing a pyramid and wondering if they even want to return to civilization, aimlessly wandering through jungles while guerrillas point assault rifles at nothing, calling their loved ones on a pay phone.

It is probably the only monster movie that would be significantly improved if you just removed the monsters.

The thumbnail of that image looks so violent. And that was a week ago, John.

>>39562
*ahem* I meant to say that was two weeks ago...

Sounds like its too interesting to go anyways
