I honestly have serious doubts as to whether I would still be alive to write this were it not for the miracle that is coffee, and I am not exaggerating. Many times at work I feel that the only thing stopping me from killing or...

Tornknee Yeah perhaps dead was a little too strong, but in my case I work in an industry where a momentary lapse of concentration could cost you your life and often work back to back shifts with very little sleep, 90+ hour weeks are not uncommon. So in that sense I...

My question is whether is it possible to take online profession (especially freelance writing) on a full-time basis, or just as a way to make side income, supplementing your full-time job. As you know it is hard to become...

Tornknee Definitely the only way to succeed is to work your arse of and be creating content constantly, and you're totally right unless you have the motivation to write and be submitting content daily you will never see a level of success great enough to support...

I do! I'm not saying everything as in from the beginning of time. But as I have experience from day one that I learn how to use the internet I am positively sure that I learned a lot from it. Whether it's free or with a price. I...

Tornknee Actually yeah I guess you're right, I was sorta thinking a bit too narrowly, you can't actually practice those physical skills at your computer but yeah you can totally learn how to perform them with the aid of your computer

I was away from the internet for awhile and when I got back, limewire was gone, frostwire got lame, bearshare got an ugly layout, and my all-time favorite morpheus pretty much fell off the planet. So my question is, where are all...

Tornknee Yeah I'd agree torrents are pretty much the easiest and best way to download content these days, and isohunt and pirate bay are definitely the best torrent search engines. Kickass torrents is pretty good too

Nowadays, almost everyone has got an cellphone and a computer at home. It's a part of our personal life. At work it's not different. All companies work already with PC's and cellphones. Many persons can't imagine life without...

Tornknee You're more than welcome, I'm always happy to share films that I think are great, I think sharing culture is one of the best things our crazily technological world has allowed us.

I recently went to Japan and wandering around shibuya my friend and I stumbled onto a whale meat restaurant so we went in for a meal. Now I'll start by saying I am against whaling. I have done plenty of research on the topic, I...

Tornknee Haha pretty extreme position just to get back at the bleeding hearts but I totally do get annoyed by being berated by it, that's why I prefaced my post by saying that I've researched everything and I've heard every argument against it cause I knew that...

Tornknee I would never condemn anyone for eating it, when I say I am against whaling I'm more just against unsustainable practices, hunting stuff to extinction, if there were a sustainable way of procuring whale meat I would have absolutely no qualms. I agree on the...

Which things do you check before you plan a trip? Which things did you learn from your previous trips and do you keep those things in mind when you plan future trips? If I can visit the country without a visa I need to find out...

Tornknee Yeah I'm not against big tourist attractions, in fact I generally enjoy them they just don't make the top of my list of priorities. I think maybe it's just cause I kinda like just discovering stuff. It's just so cool to wander through a place you know nothing...

I am not against concerned neighbors, it’s because they are people who mind their community also such neighbors can help you in times of need. But what I don’t like about some neighbors is that some are very gossipy, and tries to...

Tornknee Yeah actually I have a good friend who was evicted from his apartment because of people speculating about him being a drug dealer, same thing lots of people coming and going but the reality is he is just a popular guy and his place just sorta turned into the...

Tornknee I really don't think you need to worry about the human race ceasing to exist. For starters the planet is overpopulated as it is and amongst the seven billion people of the world there will always be more than enough heteros to keep the population going. Also...

I recently finished haruki murakami's 1Q84 and have to say I have not read such engaging and well written fiction in years. Such a strong story, wicked high concept stuff. I was just wondering has anyone else read it and if so can...

reading

1 response

Tornknee Yeah I think it's only been out for a year or so. It was actually the first murakami I've read, really need to pick up some up. Can you suggest any of his others to check out? Will probably end up reading all his work eventually, 1Q84 was that good but yeah...

Tornknee Yeah ever since my friend showed me that article I've been looking for more research but like you I'm havin serious troubles, which I guess is why I put the question out here and a few other forums but as yet still not getting much out of it. Seems like no one...

For quite a while now I have been introducing friends to cromartie high school, which I think is utterly hilarious but I'd say 90% of people I show it to don't seem to get the sense of humour or are generally put off for some...

Tornknee Totally that song gets stuck in my head for days. And yeah it would be cool if the episodes were longer but at the same time the short episodes kinda fit the absurdity of the show, you just laugh your arse off and then suddenly it's over. It kinda works

Tornknee Sorry to burst your bubble but America is definitely not mentioned in the bible. Can not possibly be mentioned in the bible, a nation that did not exist until more than 1500 years after the writing of a book that was written by men in the middle east who had...

Tornknee Yeah I've been looking for the article but being that it was just a small clipping from a new scientist magazine or something that a friend showed me I'm having serious difficulties proving that such an article actually ever existed. Thanks for those links...

Tornknee Assuming god does exist, I don't think there's a single person on this earth who has an accurate idea of his nature, the various doctrines have been so perverted over the past few thousand years that I doubt there's any way to connect to the real spirit of god...
