So the Cubs won the baseball. The creators of Back To The Future predicted it. A year off is not a bad effort. And cinsidering Biff is similar to Trump in some ways... :p
If I remember correctly they actually used Trump as inspiration for Biff... so this could be an interesting month.Quote:

Did someone also make a insane seeming bet on the Cubs to win? If so, they may in fact be in possession of the AlmanacQuote:

Honestly. Although I've never subscribed to a channel, because if I like a channel enough I'll regularly check up on it myself. Imagine if someone posted a status or thought on Facebook and asked people to click Like and follow them.
And really, unless I really genuinely like a video, the more a video asks me to click like on it the more I really don't want to. Are people that desperate to seek approval from strangers on the internet? :confused:

Whilst I do agree to an extent, hitting like and subscribe helps them with their channel with two mouse clicks, compared to the several hours it usually takes to make a decent YouTube video. It's basically the way I thank and compliment someone on their effort, seeing as I have ads disabled. :o
I've spent untold hours making YouTube videos. This video took me days to make and this video took me a solid week of non-stop photographing and editing from morning to night. But I don't expect likes or subscriptions... I'll let my audience decide if they want to click like or hit subscribe, I'm not going to ask for it. If people genuinely like your content then they'll hit Like without needing to be prompted. If you're not getting as many Likes then perhaps you need to reconsider ways of improving your content. Or wonder why the approval of strangers on the internet matters so much to you. :p :rolleyes:
And I utterly refuse to hit Like on any video where the content isn't their own original creation, especially if they've taken it from another creator. It irritates me when I see YouTubers fishing for Likes and subscriptions when they've pretty much plagiarised content. And as I've often said, I almost never click on video toy reviews, but I'll almost always read a text review. :)
Just my 2c :o
Most times I don't hit the like button. But I have a few subscriptions to channels, such as FailArmy, because it's easier to find their new videos that way. On my PS4, all I have to do is go to mys subscriptions and there it is.
Also, afaik, youtubers do get paid more for more subscribers
Subscriptions and likes are how their revenue/income is generated. So while yes, on one level I agree with you Gok, on another level, if you are regularly enjoying a particular Youtuber's videos, a like and/or subscribe helps support them to bring you more content.
Nothing wrong with self promoting, though there are good and bad ways of presenting it. A couple of my subscriptions say it as "if you liked this vid chuck us a like" or "if you wanna see more hit subscribe". I think that's much better than begging or demanding.Quote:

I know I've done that before - I've even gone to someone's page to watch more vids, and still not subscribed when I'm clearly going to watch more.
It's no different to any other form of advertising, if no one liked it, no youtuber would do it.
Watching Star Trek: TNG and episode was titled "The Perfect Mate"
Lo and behold, Famke Janssen does a guest role and she's an empath. She even mentions she's a muntant :D
I was having a laughing fit. Wonder how this played out during the X Men filming sessions.

For anyone else who may be utterly sick of this ridiculous "dabbing" fad ;)

(Advisory: some coarse language)
My eldest does this and annoys me to the core. I thought we were bad during the 80's and 90's but kids nowadays, sheesh.
I can't be bothered to watch the video. Can someone give me a rundown of wtf dabbing is?
Kids these days like to randomly strike Power Rangers poses. Yet they get shirty if I call the the "Power Ranger Pose," and yet...

I was in the office late tonight. Alone, everyone had gone home, working on my computer and something caught my eye. I swear several desks away someone walked quickly past! At the same time a computer screen in that area suddenly turned on, like it would when you move the mouse to wake it up. I went over and sure enough nobody there. Didn't hear any sound, just saw something move some movement. Nowhere someone might have hidden. Walked around the whole floor. No one around. Completely spooked myself out. Still getting a bit of a chill thinking about it.
Not helping myself to remember that my office building is on on the site of a former hotel.
Not that I'm a huge believer in ghosts but obviously enough of one to feel creeped out by this!
Have that happen a bit on our trains. Late one night, all the doors between the carriages opened and closed in succession, as if someone was walking through the train. Noone was on there though. Also doesn't help that it was the first waratah train that had a fatality...
It's a sign. It's telling you to never again put in extra unpaid overtime.Quote:

Happens a lot because they just don't care about their jobs. I always appreciate the ones who do go that extra mile to help a customer out. After all, customer service is their job.
I've had no such problems at Kmart Parramatta.Quote:

This goes to show how rarely I do online shopping - especially for things that aren't toys. I just made an online purchase from Madman Entertainment's online store... my last purchase from them was in 2006. :eek: Although it's still coming up as "Processing." :o So there you go. I've made two non-Transformer-toy online purchases in the span of 11 years.

Nah, Goki-sama, I knew what you meant :)
Edit: Wow. I read that properly & wow :eek:
The order screen doesn't show when the orders were placed, but when I went to purchase my order for the G1 boxset, it showed up with the address that I lived in back in 2005! I've changed address three times since then! :eek:
Lets hope that they manage to send your dvds to the right address :p
Heh. I already got BW Season 1 on DVD shortly after that anyway. :rolleyes:
Alright, who here is taking the extra long weekend?

No response! :eek: Although one of my friends saw me and smiled, I made an "over her head" gesture. :p

Ah well. I'll still always have this moment at Tokyo Disneyland. ;)
Well it's Monday (actually Tuesday now). And I've caught up & responded to all email enquiries. Thought I turned off the 'Out of office' auto reply, but no. Must've been a glitch in the ON/OFF toggle switch.
