I love how it goes from... hollywood isn't failing Avengers is the greatest selling movie of all time... now its hollywood is failing because of bad movies? So are they failing or not?
Also, whether or not critics or whoever else think something is good or bad... all forms of entertainement really come down opinion... I thought the first hangover movie wasn't all that good but millions of others thought it was the funniest movie ever...
I used to be one of those people who was all about nonconformity. I would fight the system and do shocking things that would cause the "preppy" kids to scoff, like turn down an invitation to a party because I was to blind to consider that people actually wanted to hang out with me. But like Zah said, I left all that crap in high school.
Now I'm a social butterfly... with... /sniff... short hair. I mean, I don't go up to strangers and begin a conversation with people, but if you're somewhat familiar, prepare to get talked at. I have a tendency to rant.
It really shouldn't be called "anti-social" I have no problem interacting with half-way intellegent people. my problem is having my time wasted with inane ***.
we should change the term to "patience for idoit deficient" or something a little more eloquent.
hahahahaha! I have a hillbilly nieghbor with the IQ of a corndog. he wants a friend, bad. I do not. I make sure that every social interaction we incurr, I either insult him, ignore him, or mock his comments/ideas. he doesn't get it. he still wants to talk to me. I'm doing my absolute best to try to get his pea-brain to associate my face with an unpleasent experiance. so far, after 1 year, I have had no success, & still have to listen to his HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE stories. being an *** has gotten me no where. just my personal take.
Did you tell him you don't want to talk to him anymore?
I was being generous with the comparison to the corndog. try telling a corndog you don't want to talk to it.
Idk... I'd just tell him to go away and that I really had no interest in talking to him then walk away... If that didn't work then I'd be a little worried...

they make profit from movies like the Avengers, but they lose a lot from bad movies, the term "hollywood failing" is referring to their profit margins not being as high as they'd like.
I haven't seen either of those, but they looked stupid.

If you know how to communicate you won't reach the point of no return with others.
you do what you want, I'll do what I want, not going to degrade my principles.
it still had nothing to do with this.
/sigh
You're getting defensive, and I'm not even on the offensive. This in itself is a great example of why anti-social people don't get further than their sociable counter-parts. Just saying...Whether you listen or not is your issue, and guess what? Listening to others, and learning from their experiences, good and bad, will get you further too. :)

The problem is that everyone thinks that same way... Someone probably thinks you're an idiot too lol...
he's not entirely antisocial, also: it's not the job of 1 employee to motivate others, it's the job of the management to motivate employees.
again, extremes though...
***. When you're on the team, it is everyone's job to make sure everyone works together. This attitude of "the boss has to do everything besides the actual work" is highly antiquated.

your last bit is true though, I learned a lot by not making the same mistakes my sister did.
however: telling somebody to do something that goes against their very being is insulting.

no, the boss should be doing work too, but it's also the bosses job to make sure the team is doing their job, not other members of the team.
doesn't really have to do with social skills though.
you can be antisocial and still do teamwork, as long as you aren't working with incompetent morons, you can't work with those people.

Yes. It's like... Thor cutting off his hair and getting a desk job in a tiny cubicle.
When it comes to work there is always going to be something you hate to do and people you hate or are just hard to deal with... you know what? You suck it up and you deal with it...

to be fair I manage around 50-60 people. I rely heavily on my foreman and other team members to keep each other in check, as there's no way I could get my work done, motivate everyone, & still BS with you guys 1/2 the time! :P

Mag and Mosin, LOL! Yeah...Not fun getting sucked into random conversations with random people sometimes. Example: Random redneck at the gas station ranting about Obama taking his teeth when they're extracted. True story! This popped into my mind... Maybe I smile too much? Maybe I wear too much blue?
if you're anything like me, its just the smile & friendly disposition.

It wasn't specifically directed at you. It's everyone I know with this attitude. It's goofy! Especially, in your late twenties. Sorry if you were offended by it. LOL! That's on you though.
Jet, have you ever taken management classes? Ever worked as part of a prog team?
yes, and I don't program much, but I have two friends that were last semester, as part of a team, and since I was working around them several days a week, I was around it.
When it comes to work there is always going to be something you hate to do and people you hate or are just hard to deal with... you know what? You suck it up and you deal with it...
not always, but for the most part, but this is why I'll be going into business for myself.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
