Do you work well with pressure or not?

thatsjvl @jvincent_129 (4994) • Philippines 5 Nov 12

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...

Political Gain

STOUTjodee @STOUTjodee (3573) • United States 4 Nov 12

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 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...

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

joaomacp @joaomacp (67) • Portugal 11 Apr 11

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...

Anyone Here Playing Minecraft?

DarthJustice @DarthJustice (2014) • United States 20 Aug 11

I was just wondering if anyone here plays Minecraft, more specifically the current Beta version? I've been hearing a lot about the game lately and two days ago started fooling around in the free classic mode to try getting an...

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...

Headache every menstruation.

gaea23 @gaea23 (252) • Philippines 8 Nov 11

I don't know why headache strikes when I have menstruation, it often strikes when I'm almost done with it. I really don't know why. I don't feel sick with dysmennorhea but I do suffer with headache to the extent that when I get...

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...

Is it okay to have a crush when you're already aging?

annavi23 @annavi23 (6522) • Philippines 28 Oct 12

What do you think is the maximum age of a person to stop having crushes? Is it a sin to have a crush when you are already married or have a relationship? What if that person is always around and you can't understand what you are...

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 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...

is Caffeine addictive??

Mickzrodge1116 @Mickzrodge1116 (61) • Philippines 3 Oct 12

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...

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....
