    I feel that if my Spanish book was full of pictures like this I would be inspired to learn and ace the class, I think everyone could learn spanish...oh well.

    This is one of my decisive acting immature moments.

    Whats Spanish for out of your league?

    Maybe, it's the easiest language I'm told. XD

    I don't know, I never really cared for how things were taught in class rooms.

    I think one of these makes you completely forget the experience, and the other one gives you some sort of insight into how earthquakes originate.

    Sadly...I can't remember which one is which.

    The red pill makes you forget. The blue shows you the truth.

    I like to think if Neo had taken them both, they would've gotten him out of the matrix, but he'd wake up with amnesia. And it would have no bearing on the plot whatsoever.

    XD, the life of Neo working as a burger flipper, he rides a bike is almost always late to work and has a god complex that he just doesn't know where it came from. At the end of the movie, not to spoil the movie...he gets promoted to manager and is really proud of himself and shows him looking off into the sun set and then the matrix theme music plays.

    And that would be such a great short film...

    Weird that I just randomly started playing Path of Neo this morning (what a bizarre game that is), and suddenly a Matrix conversation starts in this thread.

    Gonna start to learn driving. It turns out I can get it for free through unemployment. It's a bit complicated (they pay the first 500 after my registration is done, which is mid-processing. Afterwards, they pay the next 500 once I pass my theoretical test - all the rules about signs, speeds, etc - which I have six months to do. Then after I pass the actual driving test, they pay the remainder if I passed the test, or I have to pay it myself if I failed the test).
    My ex-roommate didn't get it financed through being unemployed despite being unemployed for two years, so I guess it's a new service they provide. I'm a bit frustrated: I've been here three months and they tell me about it now... In two months I'm leaving for 4 months (barring being refused at the border). Which means I actually have only two months to pass my theoretical test, which my ex-roommate gave up on after a year, or I'll have to pay the rest myself, meaning I'd only get 500 euros off. Which is great, sure, but I wouldn't have registered at all if it wasn't in the hope of not having to pay anything at all.
    Hopefully I can do it! They say some people pass it in 6 weeks so that's doable. I'll just study extra hard I guess.

    My evaluation (which consisted in playing videogames. Pretty cool, considering) said I'll need 25 hours of driving. However the unemployment place only accepts to pay for 20 of these, and if I'm not ready after that I'll be in trouble. Fortunately while I'm in the US I might take advantage of the fact you guys don't require any driving classes to be given by a licensed instructor in a specially equipped vehicle, and rack up a bit more driving experience.

    I wish I had gotten my license the first time I applied to get one. That was in 2005 incidentally, which is also the year my aunt died in a car crash. Which kind of made me think "Hey, I live in Paris. I don't need to drive a car. Screw this."
    But now that I live in a smaller town, it's proving hard to find a job that doesn't require it.

    I'm with you on the driving Avi, I started my lessons last week again after I stopped a few years ago for personal reasons. It's hard to have any kind of career when you live in a small town/rural area without hyour own transport.

    I hope you're better at it than me, I keep putting the damn thing into 5th instead of 3rd :p

    I basically had to learn to drive for the same reasons - life in rural areas is a massive pain in the arse without that skill. I was taught by my parents (mostly Dad, Mum was too scared!). Had couple of paid lessons when I was almost ready for the actual licence test, just to polish off the rough edges.

    Now I live in the city I have no need for a car and haven't driven for a couple of years, but I still have a bit of plastic that says I'm allegedly competent to control a vehicle. :p

    not sure if you are serious.
    @RD how on earth did you get so many Limited Edition Slipcases?
  • edited August 2011
    Well, at the very least I hope to stop infuriating my friends by simultaneously being the only one with no interest in drinking and the only one who can't be the designated driver :p But I'll probably need to drive once I move to Cali for good.

    I took driver's ed (which eliminated the usual written test requirement) and got my learner's permit when I was 15, but I didn't get my license until I was almost 20. Any time I needed to go anywhere, either my parents or my friend would drive. It kind of sucked when I was living at school 20 miles away and had no way to get home on my own. I finally got my license just before my second year of college, when I had to commute that 20 miles to school every day.

    I started learning to drive when I was 17, did over 20 hours in lessons and even took and passed my theory test but I was never really comfortable driving, and I didn't really like it either. Wasn't confident in my own abilities. Never even considered taking the practical test. So I just sort of stopped taking the lessons which was about 11 years ago. I still really don't want to drive and at the moment I'm happy with that despite living in a rural area. Luckily I do live in a town with a regular train service to the nearby towns I could possibly find work in. And I have been considering a move to a major city if the right job came along, where my lack of driving abilities would have less of an effect, with London & Edinburgh being recent possibilities.
  • edited August 2011
    I got my permit at 16, license at 18 because I figured then I would leave college with a perfect driving record for four years, and hopefully decreased insurance.

    It can be bad, and it can be pretty good.

    Driving is too expensive for me at the moment...

    More than he needed. He could use them as fancy coasters at that rate.
