Would she open to alternatives?

I pitched that it would be better for me to stay home during day and work a part time during the evening once hubby gets home. That it would either be the same as paying someone or cheaper. Mine went for it
Stay at home dad would be my job.

Not a money thing, she really doesnt want me playing videogames all day. We could swing it money wise.

 
Anyone know what time those npd numbers drop?

Minds will be blown if sony wins again.
Around 6pm or 7pm Eastern, but we should hear Microsoft tooting their own horn here in the next hour or so.

There's no way Sony is winning again. Only question left is how bad they lost. Not sure if we'll get those numbers though since as far as I know the NeoGAF leakers are still gone.

 
I talked to him the other day. Said "he's no longer visiting". Surprising! I asked why but he didn't say so I left it alone. Hopefully he changes his mind, but he's on PSN and Steam (same handle) if you want to hit him up.
Yeah no shock there. He doesn't really have the patience for a lot of the stupidity that goes on here. Not really sure why he ever bothered to visit in the first place.

 
You know exactly what I mean! Everyone say go to college, it's what every kid should strive for... but honestly everyone should just go to a trade school...

Schools should just have majors based on very specific jobs only and nothing less. Accounting, engineering, teaching, and nursing are the big ones that come to mind
It's really hard to advise students against things that they want to do, especially when they're like 19 and getting to make a lot of their own choices for the first time. Who the hell wants to give a reality check to an excited-for-life 19 year old?

 
I don't pay attention to Pharm enough to know that scrutinizing the English language is "his thing".  Probably because it's a fucking stupid "thing" to have and is what makes a lot of his posts so unbearable.

Semantics like that are literally the dumbest thing ever.  It's what stupid people fall back on when they don't have anything substantial to add.

You mad or nah?

Jesus, I never thought I would see the words "scrutinizing the English language is "his thing" " next to my name. I dont even know if I did those quotes right.

 
I wish I had a forgotten Sony Rewards account with 1000+ unused points.
I had 2400 or so. Was tempted to just get the $10 card and maybe digital version of Metal Gear Raiden. Figured that might be going on sale or hopefully on plus eventually.

Decided just to with the $20 card. There's numerous RPGs I'd like to get for Vita. (I'm done with Persona 4. I really could care less how it ends or who the killer is at this point.)

Nobody should want to, but the parents should be doing it. My biggest fights with my wife are about our kids and her wanting to make them happy all the time. I want them to be happy too, but they NEED to be prepared for the real world and those two things so rarely have the same steps. Ideally, everyone would know what they want to do for a career and then choose based on that what path to take.

 
We are talking about the guy who still can't figure out which form of your/you're to use right? I don't get how anyone could think Pharm gives a shit about correctly using the English language

Yup it really should fall on the parents and not academic advisers. My mom actually did a lot to talk me out of journalism. But there are a whole lot of students out there whose parents really don't give a shit what they do, unfortunately.

 
I paid my loans off in October.

How much work would cleaning up FF7 really take? Would anyone really expect them to remake the game to look like FF13? Why couldn't they just keep the same aesthetic and art style of the original while updating those visuals to a standard that's at least reasonably close to today's benchmark?

SE wouldn't have to worry about making characters look hyper realistic for the majority of the game's assets, outside of combat and FMV. They don't need to add voice acting, either.

FF8 would be a bigger pain to remake, really.
At the very least, that they don't have paint brushes for hands.

Dont worry, Tyler doesnt really hate me either. He doesnt really want to slit my throat as he has said many times before (I think he may have a violent streak though). He lubes me. He lubes me long time.

 
So does the third season look better than it did at the start?

As a reminder, I haven't started Arrow, but I'm interested in your thoughts on it.
Much more entertaining than the season has been thus far. But I'm kinda semi-depressed right now after watching. I can't say any more than that.

That was pretty creepy. Almost into "he who shall not be named" territory.

speaking of school and student loans... anyone taken the GMAT?  Found it difficult?

Thinking of going back for my masters since my work will pay for it.

 
I still haven't gotten my $10 PSN code, so went to my account and it looks like maybe I accidentally entered the wrong expiration date for my CC. :( I wonder how hard this will be to get fixed….

I took it a decade ago so I cant be too sure but I dont remember studying much and had no trouble. Just like any test its only as hard as you are dumb.

That is some pretty great English right there if I do say so myself.

Not really, it has had individual good episodes but as a whole the season arc is pretty directionless so far. I don't know if the events of the mid-season finale will finally give it direction or if they are just stuck with an off year since Season 2 ended so definitively. The best comparison I can think of is Dexter season 5, not bad per se, but was a rebuilding season after the game changing events of S4.

 
 My work is pretty cool. We have this gingerbread house competition going on and I got to take 3 hours of my day to help make this:

I know for a fact I will lead my kids towards careers and degrees that make sense... not fantasy

Accounting, Engineering, Nursing, Teaching... etc.

Not ones like Journalism, Communications, art, history, literature, English.... all those require multiple extra steps to find good careers, and if you are going to do that you might as well become a doctor or a lawyer.

I took the GRE and had to study my ass off for the English section. Math was smooth sailing obvs.
Well from reading up, the test is actually a High school level test just weeding out the really dumb ones. Mostly high school level math, no Trig or Calculus... and then some writing sections.

 
I figure I should do it, because it might actually get me a degree worth it, work will pay for it, and I can defer my loans while I am back in school (i'll be paying them the rest of my life anyway).

 
I had about 40k in student loans going to a state school for undergrad. Paid them shits off in three years. My master's cost me nothing since work paid for it. Suck it, turds.
 
GRE was not hard at all. I didn't even study and I got a super good score that my school didn't even need because all my other stuff was so awesome. But I'm smarter/better than you guys anyway.
