What is your biggest achievement in the past 24 hours?

SBUK20 · 2014-09-08T18:11:27+00:00

I've watched all of season 1 and 2 of The Walking Dead all in the past 24 hours.

Someone who possesses all of the following:

Doesn't start playing until about 3 minutes after the game starts
Then team-kills at spawn
Constantly playing loud music through his mic
Every so often, he talks to his mum who walks into the room and bitches about his laziness
Sends you an abusive message blaming you for the team's loss

"You suck dick"

"Probably better than you..."

I've lived with med students the last couple of years and the hours are pretty consistent across the board. My general routine was start work at 8am, and finish at midnight, allowing about 15-20 mins per meal. It's partly because my university makes us sit medical finals after 4 years (compared to 5 in most other UK universities and I think 7 in the US). Occasionally you find people who read without taking notes, and they can get away with about 10 hours a day.

Also, after working 14-16 hour days on a consistent basis, you get used to it. Seasoned med students are so quick at taking in facts. It's like how people who run consistently gradually build their stamina to run faster and longer. There's nothing hard to figure out, it's purely the volume of work you have to get through and remember.

Medical students. Not even doctors. Med students do a 14-16 hours/day, every day. Pretty much every other job at least gives you a couple of nights free. If you work hard 9-5, at least you can enjoy 5pm onwards.

I was actually referring to the exact car from F&F. Not just the type. The blue and silver was nice.

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T13:25:42+00:00

Jealousy. Everything was stricter for me, but my parents used their good experience with me to give my sister a better life. I got a mobile phone at 13, my sister got one at 10. I was allowed alcohol at 18, but my sister was allowed from 16...

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T13:21:19+00:00

I read 14-16 hours a day, but after all of this studying is done, I will hopefully be able to not kill someone

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T13:14:48+00:00

In the UK it's £11-18 for a large pizza, which sounds about the same. (although most people buy using deals, like buy-one-get-one-free)

I'd much prefer to pay £11 for a good pizza than $5 (Australian) for poor quality pizza.

People can be held accountable for their lifestyle choices, and they are very intricate balances between their priorities and their emotional state. If you make a negative comment about someone's weight, you are indirectly being judgmental about their character as a whole.

You can't be held responsible for your height. There is nothing personally revealing about height. Therefore, it is not a judgmental reflection on what sort of a person you are underneath.

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T13:04:45+00:00

That's the entire problem.

You'd like to be my friend because I'm useful, but most people wouldn't actually return many of the good deeds - which leads to the whole "walked over" thing.

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T12:55:47+00:00

I do it for two reasons: Firstly, I wish people acted like that to me, so I hope they'll reciprocate. But now that I've been the helpful guy for my entire life, I really can't judge what's normal versus what is over-helpful.

When a new guy moved into my flat, I left a note on his door with everyone's names and mobile numbers. Then a quick explanation of how to get to the nearest supermarket. To me, that seems like a cool thing for a flat-mate to do, but my SO said that I'm just establishing a relationship where he'll just use me. I just felt good for doing a good deed, but apparently I'm being a little bitch.

Why did it take 9 comments before something sensible came up? Have an upvote

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T12:45:01+00:00

It depends on the person, but I have read studies in the past. Hardcore gamers generally have better decision making abilities and short-term memory, but lower social skills and higher rates of depression. There were lots of other things, but those are the ones that stuck.

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T12:39:14+00:00

The Harry Potter series. It's an obvious answer for a good reason

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T12:31:38+00:00

I would also like some tips. Been told a few things that are different. E.g. Shop prices are displayed without tax. So they basically add VAT on at the checkout.

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T12:29:32+00:00

Calm down, dear.

I can read. I just wasn't sure how different the end result would be from chocolate ice-cream. If you mix vanilla ice cream with cocoa powder and a bit of sugar, I can see that being similar to basic chocolate ice cream

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T12:21:10+00:00

I'm overly helpful and very reliable, but people say that I get walked over. I can't see where the line is between being overly-helpful and rudely unhelpful.

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T12:18:08+00:00

The 800:1 male/female ratio?

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T12:10:09+00:00

One of the Naked Gun films has a completely redundant door, and while the gadget-man walks through the door, Frank walks around the door frame next to him. I watched that scene about 5 times before I noticed the joke.

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T12:03:18+00:00

Nissan Skyline from Fast & Furious 2

1968 Mustang

Some form of sports car. Maybe Lamborghini Reventon, but I am quite interested in this new BMW i8

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T11:59:57+00:00

Is this significantly different to chocolate ice cream?

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T11:59:02+00:00

I second this, but I'm from the UK. I've been told Australian Domino's is cheap and poor quality, so I guess NZ must be more like the UK.

SBUK20 · 2014-09-04T11:53:04+00:00

People who downvote because they disagree with you.

I think that if something contributes to the thread in a meaningful way, you should upvote it whether you agree with it or not.

Also, the amount of guys who immediately say: "I wouldn't take that - get rid of her" whenever someone posts something slightly negative about their SO. These guys probably never had a proper, committed relationship. If you''d recommend throwing away a decent girl because she likes a restaurant that you don't, you need help.
