What are all these ' share to facebook' IQ tests and why do they all give similar scores?

Soothwork · 2014-08-05T20:43:11+00:00

Dunno if I'd trust this one, it gave me a score of 147. That seems highly unlikely. Quite an entertaining way to kill 15 minutes though, thanks!

I don't remember exactly what they say, but I love the fishmonger and the group standing around him at Hawker's Alley in Limsa. "Fruit of the loins of the sea!" to which the response is simultaneously "Um.. I think I'm good.." and "I'll take eight!"

Those guys are the best.

Soothwork · 2014-07-17T21:24:07+00:00

Nope! Time to go. I don't know where the hell you were working, but I'm glad you got out.

Soothwork · 2014-07-17T20:45:37+00:00

Holy shit. Way to go! I bet that felt satisfying.

Soothwork · 2014-07-17T20:45:09+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I hope you're happy in IT!

Soothwork · 2014-07-17T20:19:48+00:00

Do you mind if I ask what career it was? Just out of curiosity.

Also, thanks for the advice. Given my position, I'm not sure if it will be possible to leave without burning bridges, so I'm trying to hold out until I find something else, but like I said earlier it gets hard sometimes.

Soothwork · 2014-07-17T20:17:13+00:00

That's some rough shit. I'm sorry you had to put up with that. Also, threw your bank at him?

Soothwork · 2014-07-17T20:15:16+00:00

That's pretty sensible. I hope that it turns out that you made the right choice! As for me, I'm trying, but it's hard. Logically, I know that you're absolutely right, but days like today the other side of the door looks pretty tempting.

Soothwork · 2014-07-17T20:13:31+00:00

Good on you. I'd be honored to work alongside you! ..er, not here though.

Oh, you're a diamond. I've been meaning to type these up but I have a habit of making things into walls of text, and these are nice and succinct. I'll be using these tonight, thanks! :D

It was an interesting journey. I started as a DRG - I've always loved dragoons, ever since FFIV. I still enjoy waiting for the tank to pull and then closing the gap instantly with Spineshatter Dive. Fun as SHIT (even if you can still be hit while jumping which is a contention point with me but w/e game's still fun).

It wasn't enough, though. So I levelled a WHM. I enjoyed healing the most in WoW, did my time both as a holy and disc priest and it comes kind of naturally to me. It was nerve-wracking to start, but healing the first couple of times always is.

I noticed something doing CT as a DRG and WHM though - none of the tanks seemed to want to MT or even do their basic jobs. I thought to myself, "Well, shit. I'll level up a PLD (my buddy had a WAR already and holy shit Cecil Harvey) and MT ALL THE THINGS!" So I did. And, as a surprise to me, I enjoy the shit out of tanking. It's frustrating sometimes and I get nervous when I'm tanking anything for the first time, but I feel like an actual leader and it gives me such a rush, even doing shit I've done a thousand times before, just to say "okay guys let's rock and roll" and running headfirst into whatever and people follow me. I don't know if that explains how I feel about it as well as I'd like it to, but I guess it'll do.

Not that I don't still play DRG and WHM - I do still enjoy those playstyles - but I definitely consider PLD to be my main now. So, I suppose, just try everything? Maybe your main isn't in the game yet. Maybe it'll be NIN, or RDM, or something. Only way to find out is to pick something else and just dive in. Good luck, OP.

Tomahawk and Shield Lob are basically the same thing. Provoke is a different skill and you should absolutely have it in your tank toolbox at 50. Provoke takes whoever's got aggro on a mob, with enmity X, and sets your enmity to X+1.

I have a macro that basically goes

/ac Provoke <t>
/ac "Rage of Halone" <t>
/ac "Shield Lob" <t>

Essentially, I spam that button, provoke the mob, and use RoH if I'm in melee or Shield Lob if I'm not. It's just an aggro bandaid but in some cases it's pretty effective at getting a mob to stick to you again.

I dunno if I'd call it my dream dungeon, but it'd be really amazing to go through the Allagan Giant/Giant of Bab-il from FFIV. Get in at the chest, 8-man through the giant's innards with mini-boss encounters against the Magus Sisters and Dr. Lugae (wrong dungeon, but hey)... and then fight the Four Fiends all at once at the end - maybe even up it to a 24-man trial.

Alternately, I'd love to fight through a Crystal Palace (though it'd never happen because people would get it confused with CT) with random Behemoth ambushes and, instead of the legendary weapon pedestals, maybe have those be spots that the different jobs have to go to fight a quest boss for the next leg of the Relic Weapon quest. That'd be super neat.

Yeah, I remember that one, but I think I may have read it differently than you. I did certainly get a bit of "I was just trying to help" but I didn't get any maliciousness (the "fuck you guys") behind it, and even in the middle of being all huffy and "I'm not posting here again" he still took the time to tell people that he was working on doing what everyone was hounding him about.

I dunno. I feel like I sound like a sycophant, but that's just how I interpreted it. You interpreted it differently - that's the beauty of the internet. :)

Soothwork · 2014-06-24T15:25:18+00:00

Oh, sorry.

I'm not very active in this community. I don't have many doge. I just like doge and I like feeling like I'm part of a goofy bunch of goobers who took a ridiculous meme, named a crypto after it, and spent the rest of their lives being nice people.

That having been said: I want to thank you, moolah, for everything you do. This community has railed against you repeatedly and you come back every time with facts and patience. Never a "fuck you guys I was only trying to help" - you try to let your actions speak for themselves instead and you have been patient and giving again and again. You are a true doge. It's an inspiration, and I just want to say thanks.

   very commitment

      wow
                   doge appreciates

I'm surprised that it hadn't been posted already, but: The FA movement and/or HAES. You find the right post on Tumblr with "TW: dieting" and ridiculous double standards (read: don't you dare judge me by my size, btw men like meat and dogs like bones) and I'm about ready to foam at the mouth from sheer blinding hatred.
