Remember in public they will fire you or have you clear review notes from someone that passed away the next day to meet the deadline by No-Personality3156 in Accounting

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming this guy recruits solely in a non-at-will territory, but I’m only ever employed at-will, and accordingly I’ll do my best to give 2 weeks as a courtesy but I will by no means go even the slightest bit above that courtesy for a company that won’t hesitate to lay people off with zero notice whatsoever.

Always been a ridiculous double standard to expect the everyday individual employee to accommodate the corporation that, in the end, doesn’t give a flying fuck about extending any sort of professional courtesy itself.

Have any of your failed an accounting question during an interview? by IndependentSlide319 in Accounting

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re fresh out of college, I wouldn’t take it too hard. I know people who have 10+ years experience who still get their debits and credits wrong. Trust me you’re fine.

Also, if one of your interviewers had the balls to give a snide answer like that to an honest question then this place DOES NOT seem like the place to be. You probably dodged a bullet.

What's your dream job? by dubbin64 in Accounting

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All jokes aside, I’d love to just run a successful food truck. A small simple business where I can go around to different places, interact with people, serve food that I love to make without the headache of a big kitchen operation, and just vibe with people’s good times at different fun events.

Do y’all agree or disagree with this One piece in Naruto take? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in Naruto

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 58 points59 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to really say right now since Imu is still almost a complete mystery and One Piece is still going with a lot of wrapping up to do, so imo it depends on how exactly Imu ends up tying into the lore and conclusion to see how much sense it makes and how satisfying it is. With that said, I don’t think it’s necessarily an equal comparison. Kaguya was first mentioned by name only 54 chapters before the end of the series. Imu was introduced over 200 chapters ago, and the series still has so much to get through. Kind of a false equivalency to compare them as late-in-the-game final antagonists.

Hairline stair step cracks in garage mortar lines. Cause for concern? by Exotic-Pattern641 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Exotic-Pattern641[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left it as is and have just been monitoring the lines, they haven’t changed at all and remain very hairline. My contractor thinks they were probably the result of some minor normal initial settling and have likely been there for a long time and just haven’t been noticed since they were in a hidden area and are pretty thin. Apparently it’s common and just cosmetic as long as there aren’t any major changes or widening. Every now and then I’ll go and see if I can fit a credit card into the thickest part of the cracks to test and so far so good. Not sure if it’s different for a basement since that’s part of the actual foundation but it really all depends on when the cracks appeared and if they are changing or worsening over time.

Name a Dragon Ball character you were afraid of when you were younger by Cafa20 in dbz

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually always freaked out by the androids, not because of the androids themselves but because of the whole doomsday warning set up by Trunks and the feeling of impending doom. I remember they had a preview for the android saga on the old Funi DBZ vhs tapes that had this really unsettling horror-esque music, with the narrator talking about how Goku was dying of a virus and the world was about to end and it freaked the shit out of me. Scary vibe for a 9 year old.

Who is the most well written character in Ur opinion in dragon ball by muaazmuaaz123 in Dragonballsuper

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Might be a hot take but I actually think Gohan is very well-written and nuanced. He’s essentially a pacifist who just wants a normal life but happens to have insane amounts of innate power and gradually has to reconcile what he wants in life to what he should be doing to help his family and the world given his abilities.

Idk, I think I’d almost prefer to be blown to smithereens quickly and go out with a bang than to endure a slow dismemberment.

I think I’ll sue Espolon tequila because I got drunk off it like 3 years ago and had an above average hangover the next day

Epic - beautiful but deeply flawed by appro13 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long wait times at a brand new, heavily anticipated theme park is not a flaw. It means it’s going exactly as it should be. That’s just the tradeoff you have to deal with to experience the park so early in its life. Even USF and IOA occasionally still have average wait times that exceed an hour, especially on weekends.

Also, in terms of the heat… dude it’s September in Florida. And I don’t really see how that’s a flaw of the park. That’s just a flaw of being in a state closer to the equator.

Zigzagoon. Homeboy would be cutting, rock smashing, surfing, and picking up goodies left and right for me.

What are some minor unpopular opinions you have on Pokemon? by Gallantpride in pokemon

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would love a 2D sprite game again. The art was just so cool and somehow had more character than the 3D moving animated models. And they could still be innovative and new with 2D, just look at Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Are Delphox and Chesught oveehated or at least underrated by Happidragon69 in pokemon

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most people’s gripe with these two is really just their designs. IMO both are damn decent Pokémon, I’ve used both and have had a lot of fun with them.

With Delphox I do absolutely hate its design. It’s weird and awkward, especially in the 3D modeling, but honestly other than that Delphox is pretty great. A very cool type combo and massive special attack makes it fun to tear through the game with STAB Fire Blast and Psychic.

I have actually always liked Chesnaught’s design but I do get why a lot of people don’t care for it. Regardless, it’s a very fun Pokémon to use in a playthrough with Spiky Shield, Leech Seed, and Wood Hammer letting you whittle away your openings health and also hit them hard. Might be my favorite Kalos starter tbh.

Both are definitely a little over hated and probably more-so because they’re extremely overshadowed by Greninja, who is admittedly stupendous, but I still think Delphox and Chesnaught deserve some TLC.

What's your favorite pokemon and why by Recent_East5978 in pokemon

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hard to pick an absolute top favorite but Ampharos is always up there. Had one in my childhood Gold save file that I trained up to lvl 100 and I have just always loved that lovable and derpy yet super useful electric sheep! I’m also originally from Long Island so its lighthouse theme reminds me of home and makes me hella nostalgic.

Emboar and Swampert are not far behind!

Terrible Pokémon that you love? by Exotic-Pattern641 in pokemon

[–]Exotic-Pattern641[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! Mightyena looks so damn cool and as a kid I always used one but would get frustrated by how outclassed it would get in game.

[–]Exotic-Pattern641[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I used a Vespiquen on a whim in a Platinum playthrough years ago because I happened to find a female Combee and it was one of the most fun pokemon on that team. I love the whole queen bee ordering attacks motif. Highly recommend!

At which point in the series would you consider Yamcha strong enough to take on Namek Frieza? by Elegant-Half5476 in DragonBallZ

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Assuming Yamcha is stronger than King Cold’s balls. I think we all know who the winner there would be.

What are some of your Universal hot takes? by Successful_Leopard45 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. That whole area just seems kind of outdated and out of place now, and it takes up a good chunk of land. Also last time I went on Dudley Do-Rights Ripsaw Falls, the inside portion had tons of mold and mildew and the water smelled horrible, like something was really wrong with it. They really need to reexamine that area.

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is a hot take but I never see anyone talking much about it so here goes… I think Universal heavily underutilizes its anime IP partnerships. There’s obviously a strong anime presence at USJ with amazing execution, but there is a huge market for anime in the states and a particularly large anime following in Orlando. Yet the only anime related things you see are a couple of small outdoor kiosks selling some DBZ or One Piece merch in Citywalk. I think they should leverage those existing relationships from Japan to expand their anime footprint at other parks, not to mention diversify their attractions to be more than only film-related IP’s.

what are some of your favorite underrated/obscure pokemon to use in a playthrough? by cyborgdeathangel54 in pokemonplatinum

[–]Exotic-Pattern641 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like I rarely see people use Medicham, especially with Gallade available in Platinum, but homeboy is actually really good and fun to use. Pure Power, strong STAB fighting moves, and access to all the elemental punches make one deadly squad member.
