Some people work excellently with pressure because they use it as motivation to be at their best. But some people get intimidated with pressure because it makes them afraid to fail and makes them feel nervous. How about you...

thistangent I greatly thrive under pressure. Honestly, without pressure I get bored. Even with the most simple of task, I need a lofty goal to keep me interesting. For example, my most recent job was working in an operating room, in surgeries both big and complex to short...

Let me start out by saying, I feel sorry for those that are in the path of destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy! Now that I have made that point, I think Obama is using this for his political agenda. By this I mean,...

thistangent Actions do speak much louder than words... and Romney has much more political and business experiences that show he is a fan of outsourcing, pushing jobs into other countries, putting men far above women, putting the rich even farther above the middle and...

thistangent Of course Obama is at least in part using this in his political agenda. However, he is mainly doing his job as president: absorb facts, direct, press releases, etc. In my opinion, Romney is using this entirely for his public image. Check out which effected...

Why O why will my parents not let me get Minecraft. It's so unfair as all my friends have it yet my mum won't let me get it. I have the money for it and I said that I would buy but still I'm not allowed it. :(

thistangent Ah, not me. I've had it over a year now, and am still deeply entrenched in discovering, tearing down, and building bigger. I think the key is to not play for hours on end. Instead I play almost entirely on weekends, and never for more than an hour or two at a...

6 responses

thistangent I love this game! It's great fun, and a really great way to wind down on the weekend after a long week at school and work. My favorite things to do are to play in the NPC villages, tear down mountains (have to play offline, and not on anyone's server...

Minecraft is a really cool game, it's just a huge (infinite!) sandbox, where you mine resources, build whatever you want, like houses to hide from the monsters that come at night time. I think it's an awesome game, because you...

thistangent I love this game! I play on the PC, but have played the XBox version before (not a big fan of the xbox version, but better than not having minecraft at all, lol.) My favorite part is finding rarer resources, building my own things (my "house" for item...

thistangent I love this game! I also recently got a (perfectly exact) tattoo of a minecraft obsidian cube. (lol) I've played this game on the XBox360 and on a computer, and the computer version is way better. The XBox version is much newer and much less developed, but...

thistangent I have played a friend's copy of it on his console (XBox360 or Playstation... I can't remember which console he had it on) and it is an awesome game! The storyline, the graphics, the various paths you can take in developing your character. All around it is a...

thistangent It could be that headache before (yours) is related to the changing hormones, and that during or after (hers) is related to blood loss either because of dehydration (not drinking enough water) or anemia (not eating enough iron-rich foods). There are many,...

thistangent Two things that will likely help, and can't hurt, come to mind. Drink more water. Most people don't drink enough water, and women who bleed heavily during menstruation need even more water than average. Also, increase the amount of iron in your diet. Eat foods...

thistangent I strongly believe crushes are okay at any age. :) Also, I think crushes are okay in various relationship status whether your committed, married, etc. When I was in middle school I remember sitting with my dad and step mom and my step mom talking about her...

thistangent You are very correct: moderation, not "routine" and don't depend on it to wake you up or keep you awake. Great post. :)

thistangent Lol, you are definitely not alone in this. Caffeine, found in coffee, is a stimulant, and like all stimulants your body gets used to having it and demands more. If you try to go a week (depending on how much/often you drink it) you may have headaches or more...

Coffee has always been a part of my daily life. As a matter of fact, I cannot start a day without sipping in a cup of coffee. It alerts me. It prepares my tummy for gastronomic encounters during the day and just the smell of it,...

thistangent I live in one of the biggest coffee areas (if not the biggest) in the US and this is a well known issue/love. Yes, caffeine is addicting. Coffee is one of the main (and tastiest) ways to get caffeine. Signs of coffee/caffeine addiction usually start with...

thistangent "my bad" is a phrase that acknowledges a mistake was made. Kind of like saying "sorry, that was my fault." It's something kids and young adults say these days.

What are items,Mobs and blocks you think they should add in Minecraft. eg. they should add horses then you could use saddles on them instead of pigs.

thistangent Adding a horse is a good idea... I'd also like to see more blocks that can be made into stairs. Why can I not make dirt stairs? I play offline because I love pulling down mountains and making my own little corner of the world. Got a major house (for looks and...

thistangent I'm sure your parents have some reason for saying know... talk to them about it. Show them pictures and screenshots and let them know it is incredibly non-violent. Most games these days are very violent, and minecraft is a really good game for almost all ages....

thistangent I almost did. I almost donated a kidney for my friend's daughter. Adults can live with one kidney, but children under 16 need both in order to live a normal life. The girl was 10 at the time, with one kidney working 10% and the other 25%... both very near full...
