Co-optation ensures there is a common culture. And for some kind of jobs, placing job offerings and not invitation looks sketchy instead. In the indie gaming business, small development groups may prefer to co-opt people instead of placing openings. I can know because I have done so myself. Placing openings generally looks utterly helpless if you aren't established.

I didn't know that. The only experience I have with companies that "recruit" people is a company called Vector, which is a pyramid scheme that you have to sell your soul to work for. Thankfully I researched so I didn't take the job, but they needed you to "recruit" your friends so that they could scam more people.
 
'Too many' is a subjective appreciation of things…
 
And you know this how?

Don't know for certain, but I don't need to know for certain.

Rant: AUS 2 - 3 NED

(Minor) rave: not as bad as I feared

Looking forward to AUS v ESP

Never thought I'd be so shattered at losing to Netherlands by only 1 goal, but we could and probably should have won it... :(
 
Re the thread title, i like it, but wasn't that game's melancholic recurrent phrase '[...]i took an arrow to the knee'? (haven't played it, but i think it was so). :)

EDIT: googling seems to present "in" as the Skyrim-version. "To" seems to be used in translation of a nordic phrase (?).

Well, what makes you feel like you make more bad decisions than anyone else?

I'm just genuinely curious, I suppose. Don't feel obliged to answer.

Yeah it was an overused meme when Skyrim was at its height in popularity. Nowadays it's ancient in terms of gaming history, but eh.

Also, according to knowyourmeme.com, it IS "in" and not "to". HA! TAKE THAT, MY DOUBTERS!
 
Went to the gym, and directly after entering I see that one girl, for who I've been looking for quite some time. Didn't manage to talk to her at the last celebrations, although we noticed each other, and it seems we have a common acquaintance somewhere.
So, I take all my guts, go onto the stepper, and begin to talk to her, because hey, good chance, good topic starter.
Turns out she apparently decided just not to recognize me ("No, wasn't me." "No, don't know him." etc)
Crap. Would've been nicer if I had expected that. Would've liked at least a short, funny conversation. Not even that :/.

Football season is also not the very best season to get to meet new women. Theoretically the men/women ratio should be better at non-football related events, but the problem is that there are here no such events, and I also don't have anyone to go with me, even if there were :/ (seriously, this city is partially dead).
:gripe:
 
Tired all day

decide to go to bed at times only allotting for 6 hours of sleep despite complete ability to get 8+ hours if desired

rinse and repeat
