Christ guys, I can't keep up with all these questions. XD
>>774 Nope, not at all. In fact, Facebook was interviewing me for a job and I don't even have a Facebook! (Which I'm sure they realized.)
>>775 No. Even if I wanted one, it's my policy to not have sex with someone until we've both been tested for STDs. I think it shows respect for your partner to do that. Obviously this means I won't have casual sex.
>>776 Sure. I can't guarantee we'll find each other interesting, but we can give it a shot. I made a garbage email address: [email protected] Email me there, and I'll email you back with my real email address.
>>777 Actually I love English, and languages in general. Right now I wish I had just gone with my heart and majored in English. But too late for that now^^ I really do enjoy CS, too, though. I like programming, so it's not so bad. I guess the biggest benefit I get from the Internet is the ability to immediately look up information on anything I want, and to talk with people around the world. It's pretty amazing when you think about it. When I grew up the Internet was still in its infancy, so I remember what it was like not to have it around.
>>780 I don't think they are garbage, and I don't empathize with them either. Everyone's different. Everyone's gone through different problems in their life, and everyone deals with their pain and unhappiness in different ways. I may not agree with how someone chooses to live their life, but I try not to pass judgment on them for it (unless they're deliberately hurting other people). Ultimately it's their life, and their decision. Who am I to say anything?
>>781 Yes! I interviewed at Google. I got to their second-round interviews, but I didn't make it. T_T I have a lot of respect for Google, Youtube, etc. The guys there are amazing people that have literally changed the world. I can't hope to do anything that huge, but I hope my work will benefit a smaller number of people^^
>>782 Eh, like I said, I try not to judge people. If doing that makes them happy, then whatever. Honestly I can't help thinking both the men and women involved in that are fucking stupid, but hey, it's their lives. And I see >>648 has never been to 4chan's /b/. Women there post their nudes all the time. (So do men. XD)
>>785 Well, 4ch is different from 4chan. 4chan is at 4chan.org. /b/ is the Random board. But it's not friendly to newcomers or people who aren't native speakers of English. Like 2ch, people on 4chan use a lot of very special slang. But if you're just there for the pictures of naked ladies, there's lots of those.
How on earth did you get to have an interview with facebook when you don't even have an account. In what round did you have to move on to get a job in Google.
>>790 Well, I guess it means they don't care if their candidates actually use their product or not.
Google's interview is usually in two rounds. First it's a phone screen, then if they like you enough, they invite you to their main office in Mountain View to interview with their engineers. Then they make their decision to hire you or not.
I sure found some nude photos there but seems like almost all of them are those of picked up on the net not thier own nude except one. Is it really common female posters themselves show thier own nude there?
>>793 Yup. They're called camwhores, women on the forums that take pictures of themselves with their webcam and post them. They usually write something like "sup /b/" and the day's date on their breasts or hand or something, to prove it's actually them.
>>791 Facebook approaced you or you approaced them to get an interview test?
I heard Gooogle get 5000 resume a day from all around the world. Are there job slots there set aside for students who are going to graduate university or graduate school other than picking up candidates from those resumes?
>>794 Wow. Sounds nice. Are they all interested in things Japanese? I mean, those camwhores and 4 channelers are all interested in Japan? Is /b/ the most dangeropus place among 4 channel?
>>795 Well, the way it works at my school is twice a year we have a career fair. This is when lots of companies come to the school and set up booths, and the students can walk around, talk to different people, and drop off their resumes at the companies they're interested in. So I gave Facebook my resume at a career fair, and they liked it and emailed me later asking to set up an interview.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your second question... They hire both undergraduate and graduate students, and I imagine they have some loose number of slots for each category. Also they don't just pick candidates from the resumes they receive, I hear they actively go after people they're interested in, even if that person didn't ever submit their resume.
>>796 Nope. /b/ has nothing to do with Japanese stuff. There are boards specifically for anime and Japanese culture, but /b/ is the general discussion board. As for "dangerous", yeah you could say so. Some very graphic, potentially disturbing images are often posted there. People make racist jokes about just about every ethnicity there is, and /b/tards (that's what we call people who post on /b/) in general have no sympathy for anyone. It's not a place for sensitive or easily offended people.
>>766 The point of Facebook, at least, is not talking to your everyday friends, it's _staying in touch_. If you talk to someone every day, you're not going to use some site just to say "wanna come over?".
But when they move to another town and don't call you for a month, that's when it starts being useful.
One of my college friends got in touch with me a few days ago -- we haven't talked for over a year. Apparently, he lives in Estonia now. That's the sort of thing it is useful for.
Plus birthday reminders and pictures of people being drunk.
>>797 Thanks what I meant was that other than prospective seniors of college and graduate students, googles get 5000 resume of people who have already gotten into workforcfe and working somewhere now.
So my questions were if there are different job slots for students fresh from university and people who have already working somewhere but want to get a job in Google.
>>798 That's the problem though. Everyone I know uses it to interact mostly with people they *do* see every day. I hear it's useful to set up parties and invite everyone through Facebook. Personally I find sites like Facebook a kind of "cheap" way of keeping in touch. It requires little effort, and (from the examples I've seen from the people around me) the interaction tends to be pretty shallow. But you raise a good point, those kinds of sites are a great way to find someone you've lost contact with.
>>801 Ahhh. Hm, honestly I don't know that much about how Google allots their job slots, but they probably have some specifically for new graduates and others for people with work experience.
>>805 Fair enough. I guess I just don't have any examples around me of anything meaningful coming out of those kinds of sites. Maybe because I'm surrounded by college kids and we don't do much of anything meaningful one way or another.
I haven't sat down and planned the trip yet. I've been to a lot of places already, but there's so many more I want to go to. I want to travel around Hokkaido, and go island-hopping in Okinawa. I want to walk the road between Tsumago and Magome. I thought I wanted to go to Yakushima, but I read online that there are a lot of leeches there... T_T
I don't read that much manga, but I like Naruto, One Piece, Planetes, King of Bandit Jing, some other ones... I'm not familiar with the Japanese novel "scene" (what kind of genres are popular, etc.), but I'd like to get into it.
As for Steve Jobs, he's a fucking smart guy. What else can I say?^^ He knows how to make money.
>>820 I see . Hey , Katachyan ! ! Try to say honestry ! You should like Bisyounen . I have seen that you put your hand into the shorts of Bisyounen in the library. Do you like Yoko Osita ?
I'm tired of studying. Since last month, I've been studying English hard; about five hours a day. Five hours of study is quite a hard work, so I often feel overwhelmed and deprived. Though my English ability has been improving gradually, it seems it's not enough to keep me motivated. How do you think I can feel less stressed?
>>826 Since your English is pretty good, it might be worth taking a break and not working at it so hard. Might be worth just watching something in English, or reading a book.
