Dissertation - Off-topic

Hi Everyone,
I would appreciate it if you would complete my study which takes about 5-10 minuets for my health psychology masters dissertation. You have to be over the age of 18 to participate. It is about obesity attitudes and stigma. This is the link: https://derby.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_d5WYcUAs8mhINff
Thank you

could you tell me more about your dissertation work?
I'm writing a dissertation work too and I would like to ask you help about how to write it

Well you can search it online.

In my fourth year of study at university. My brain is exploding. I'm doing a finance degree, and need to give an undergrad dissertation.
I have a topic and everything, but I just can't get to write it. I don't know how.

school sucks!

Y'all struggling with writing a thing, though you know it cold - it's a simple trick, not even a trick it's the way we're wired. Just stay with the thesis - what's your point? Now, talk about it out loud to yourself. Just say it as if you're in a conversation; no stress. Look at something and talk. Don't be descriptive, be ambiguous. Soon enough you will hear yourself say your first sentence. The rest is gravy.

a new way to stop the newbie Questions!!

hi
here's the latest technology to stop the newbie`s from asking a really dump questions
http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com/search.pl?query=NEWBIE
change the word "NEWBIE" in the link to the keyword you want to use it for searching
Peace
Wow... look at how advance technology is -_-
Sometimes we need New Users,
or else we would be a bunch of Insane 1864 Hackers.
The best way to treat a freshly landed new member is to point him to the right direction, that's to say the search function, but with words, not flaming websites .
One learns if the person facing him is willing to teach .
i like this one better

Noobs come and noobs go, the questions will just keep on rolling.
I understand that telling a Newbie to Google something is the spirit of "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day... Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime." so you better learn patience if you want to stay in this game for the long haul... You will be telling folks to Google things for many years to come.
Damn kids, back in my day... We had to walk uphill through 10 feet of snow to Google something!

Going to talk to the football coach on Monday.

Guys. Pray for me. I'm small and slow (kinda) and PROBABLY won't make the team. I say probably because they don't make cuts. Anywho. Like I said, pray for me.
So just incase you mother frickers didn't know, it's me. G1BRICKED/OG. Me spinks he's leaving too. Lets be honest man. It's high school. If you want to know more, ohh never mind it got deleted. But anyway, I've spent my life on the internet, 'bout time I move on. I have more to focus on. Friends. Family. Football. HIGH SCHOOL. Homework. Projects. Getting a girlfriend (Me? Get a girl? Yeah right!) Etc... And BTW, I'm only doing this because I'm mad at you guys for being meanie pantses. I mean, lesbihonsts,... you know what I mean. So I guess this is goodbye... again. And if you're going to rant about how lame this Thread is, just PM me so I can delete it. THANKS!
*BTW, MATH LESSON XP!
Purple Drama Llama = 100% Greatness of XDA.
He split it between me an M_T_M when he left.
G1BRICKED/OG = 50% M_T_M = 50%
Now that I'm leaving, congratz M_T_M

Honestly, I wish all the best little buddy. Be confident of yourself and give the best of you so you have no regrets.
Remember XDA will be always here (and probably us too )
Good Luck little buddy,

Don't, I was sarcastic.......I knew it was you long time ago
Regarding your footbal trial, let us know how it went. You should post it on youtube just like your singing (remember?).
Good luck
Oh God. PLEASE don't remind me.
Good Luck G1/OG/Android <3er/I get confused now! (I had a funny feeling it was you )
I'm sure you'll do fine, and good luck with the football, and life in general.
I don't know what happened etc with you quitting in the first place but still, it has been fun reading your posts - some made me laugh.
Take care
kind of had a hunch it was you, or some other pubescent kid....
how about you don't leave this time. It's obvious that you are hooked to this place. Keep the account and check it from time to time. Then when you are older you can come back and see how frustrating you could be.
Good luck with football. Even if you are small, it is fun to run aroundand hit people. I was a runt back in the day and even I got to joe theisman someone:

good day.
Lmaoo. Pads and all. I got tackled today by my friend just to see how it'd hurt. I sat there LAUGHING! It was halarious. Before that, one of my friends tried to tackle me... I'm standing there like "Do people push you when they try to hug you." He was trying to tackle me so I let him get it hahaa. But yeah. I'll try lol. It's worth the shot.
And @chopper the dog - If he told you that, it's private information so you should expect a call soon... lol jk
And thanks for the obtw.

[Q] Me and my girl had a fight

So we had another fight about me spending too much time playing with and talking about android and phones. As long as cellphones don't come up in conversation we were the happiest couple in the world. But I finally broke up with her because I couldn't even think about android without her getting mad at me. And I figured I would just find a girl that shared my interest. But I just realized that there are ZERO females(at least in the state of alabama) that even know what android is. Should I quit looking now? Does anyone have any advice to find them(if they exist that is)?
I lol'ed so hard.
if this isnt a troll , ur a noob for not being able to control urself not to talk about ur fone
sounded like my wife ...picking a fight because too much time on xda and phones.... Well, you can move from your state

Sorry you think I'm a noob, but I can control myself enough to not talk about it, but WHY should I? I'm going to look for a girl with common interest, and if I don't find anyone I will suppress my techie talk. But until I know that she doesn't exist, why would I change the kind of woman I would like to date?
So next time your off just supermanning hoes think about what a relationship should be about.
This is what I get for asking for girl advice on xda
LMAOO! If your serious, I really think you messed up BIG time! Call her now, apologize, and get off of XDA.
sorry to hear it bro. my wife also gets pissy when im on modding/hacking forums too much, but she'll get used to it eventually
I somewhat agree with Original Android.... if you usually get along, apologize and try to consider some of her interests. some people just dont get our devotion(addiction) to such things
as far as quitting XDA..... bad idea. maybe just set a specific time for this great site.
its all about compromise homey..... i hate you for making me think serious!! j/k
Had a fight here too for this very same reason...

Well my friend, it's time to negotiate . I did this with my wife, I agreed with her that I will spend some hours a week to be on the web and xda of course (while she's around). So both of us are happy since I comply with the terms when she's around ....but she's not always around you know.
Yes, time is not equal my girl says...
Anyway we should re negotiate a new way if possible
She's the one, I'm pretty sure of it

Ok first off, hope you are LOVING highschool and football still. And yes I messed up big time, she's truely a wonderful person. But I didn't have to call her, she called me and we came to a compromise. She said if I would buy her that "nexus thingy" and actually "teach" her what I was talking about, she thinks she would really enjoy learning about it. And in my mind it wasn't a compromise, I got exactly what I wanted..... oh wait I just spent $500 on an N1

I'm going to be frank. Return that N1. The relationship is now headed in the wrong direction for the wrong reasons.
In your future relationships, if you're with your girl, be with your girl. Learn to compromise. Your partner's reaction to the particular behavior (i.e., dealing/talking Android) is ultimately just a natural reaction towards the frequency in which you exhibited it (i.e., excessively). Imagine if your partner asked you to accompany them to go shopping every day of the week for at least 3 hours each day. While you guys are shopping, she'll talk to you about every brand, and fashion, etc. Should she leave you because you aren't interested in her interests?
Your Android fetish is a hobby. There are more important things in life that you should be paying attention to. I'm not saying this girl is -the- one you'll be with for the rest of your life, but things like growing and improving social skills should take greater precedence than learning and keeping what's up with the latest and greatest on Cyanogen mods.
Take my advice for what it's worth to you. Just remember, at the end of the day, it's just a phone.
Im not returning the N1. I shouldn't have ever posted this thread. I know exactly what important things are in my life(what exactly did you even mean by that??). I'm going to stop this now because people don't and can't know every detail about our relationship and it is now being misinterpreted.
And it's not about roms or tweaks it's about the future of technology, which I think everyone can agree is rather important
well this is funny... you are trying to find a girlfriend on XDA ?

fk, i had something like this too once, since then i didnt talk about phones that much anymore xD..
well but she knows now that this is like a hobby for me, and its not that bad when i talk about it from time to time...
hell we are techjunkies, but even we need to hold back with our tech **** when talking to a girl xD
(i knew that before, but, for example, i couldnt live with it, if my gf would buy an iphone.................XD)

You telling me that it's not about ROM or tweaks and that it is actually about the future of technology is really a bad attempt at justifying your hobby. This is even illustrated by the following clause when you feel the need to garner further support of your hobby by amassing the opinions of your fellow XDA members.
But nevermind that, good luck with the relationship. I do hope that things work out in the end.
daamn!!!
I usually dont talk about phones when Im with my girl... hell I've even visited xda less, since Im in a normal relations (not those in which I have to be responsible for everyf**king thing.. - had one of those about a year and a half ago)
anyways - just find something to talk about that is interesting for both of you + keeps your mind off the phones...
or if you can't you can get yourself off the xda, or you can always ask someone to ban you.. just kidding
so basically she had the bravery to say : $500 fone or no sammiches
and ur happy about it

My inevitable half-annual hiatus

As usual, I will be having exams in about 6 weeks. The Brit accountants might be familiar with ACCA, and I'm facing the last two bosses in this game.
This is the toughest challenge yet, as I have forgotten most of my university stuff relating to one of the papers, so I'm taking a self-enforced hiatus until (at least) the 8th of December.
Stay classy, OT.
Well, good luck my man
You'll be missed around here
Sent from my SilverBullet 'HTCDesireZ running CM7'
Good luck with your exams and ish.
-Hercules composed this post and threw it at your face to be read-
Good luck my friend. I have every confidence in you!
Good luck mate - hope it goes well.
Pro-tip from a serial procrastinator when it comes to last-microsecond studying for exams:
1. Prayer helps more than luck. Never been lucky, but have prayed and fasted for results and have been prayed and fasted over. However, examinations are not great reasons for developing religion. Jesus spent a few thousand years setting things up. Since you probably don't have Godly patience, an entire semester should do nicely.
2. Don't bother to score. Pass. I have learnt this during my limited (heh!) time spent studying. However, try your best, because if you just give up, you lost the battle before it has even begun.
3. It helps if you're smart-ish and can absorb things fast. This one is actually a warning to all you idiots who think that sakai4eva is distilling wisdom from a Divine Source® when it comes to being lazy and you can follow these steps to Success™ Remember, if you are stupid AND lazy, it will take miracles.
4. Know your material. It helps if you have an idea of what the subject is talking about, and is comfortable with the environment the subject is being taught. I have been training to be/working as an accountant for years. I have forgotten more about accounting that you have ever learned. However, if you're a Behavioural Science student trying to tackle that Thermodynamics paper, well, it's best to start early or refer to No. 1.
5. Budget your time. Sub-divide the chapters, finish ahead of time/schedule. This is because there will be WTF moments, and there will be OMGWTF moments, and there will be OMGWTFBBQIAGTDAHD and headsplode moments where you'd wish that you have a time machine of sorts.
6. Be ready for the OMGWTFBBQIAGTDAHD and headsplode moments. Meth helps in the short run, but (heh) other things will run. In the long run, you should have studied instead of hanging out in the OT thread. However, never let yourself get stuck at something/somewhere. Keep moving because a stationary target is easier to hit with a chalk.
7. Rewards yourself when you achieved certain milestones. For me, gaming is my kick, so I let loose when I did finish up my studies. My sister uses chocolate. No, she isn't fat. Much.
8. Get help. My mom comes over and help me stay sane, clean and healthy during the most unhealthy period of my life.
Well, I guess that should be it. General advise, I know, but it might help make your grades less skanky.
Last but not least (this might sound conceited at first, but hear me out), I thank you all for your wishes of good luck, but I will rue the day I need "luck" to get me pass exams.
Until my inevitably glorious return:
Stay classy, gentlemen
I just read the topic as My inevitable half-anal hiatus and was curius.
I'll pray for you.

If you think the entire world turns around you, you are crazy. It turns around me and my very huge modesty. ROTFLMAO

Well, let us begin.....if you may pass around, the virgin's blood, the black candles and the tongue of a dead man whom killed himself.....Woopsy doopsy! Another forum...sorry, my bad.
;-)
I don't like to talk much about myself, least of all in an internet forum.
But fair is fair, and I am asked to introduce myself.
So I'll make an effort, without guaranteeing any results.
I'm in my middle forties.
I'm sitting on my bed while I write this.
Be right back: nature calls, and she's a batch.
Back, and I seem to weigh a little less now.
I feel light as Trump's head.
So, coming back to me, myself and I: I always loved computers, although I never quite understood them very much. Some claim that I know a lot about computers.....but this opinion is only shared by those who know absolutely nothing about them, and see them as entities which could eat them alive if they pressed the "wrong button". I know better: I have a limited knowledge regarding computers, but I do possess an endless curiosity, and I always seem to find somebody whom is kind enough as to give me her/his time to teach me, or help me out of deep shi-t when I, very rarely!, take a path that I know nothing about and "boldly go seeking where no one has sought before"......
As you already know by now, I love Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Thrillers and Terror; this in all medias: movies, series, graphic novels, comics, mangas, animations, books.....
I love to row, ski, practice volleyball and rugby, ride a bike and a horse, run, go rollerskating and ice skating, swimming and climbing.
I also write a lot, but nothing's been published so far. I happen to read way more than I write though.
I spent seven years in a wheelchair/using crutches, and now I am riding bikes again....it feels like the first time I rode one, when I was a child.
Let us simply say I come a long way to where, and when, I stand today.
I may not be of a lot of help to you, because my knowledge is really limited. Now. But, with your kind help, it will come a day when I will be able to give my helping hand to others in these matters as well as some others.
Looking forward to keep in touch with you all.
Live long and prosper, from Geneva, Switzerland.
(To your questions: YES, I love chocolate; YES, I love cheese; YES, I love watches and have half a dozen of them, several of which I repaired myself (and one I broke on my own too, for being an arrogant moron); YES, I love mountains: so, if you leave aside that I don't love banks, the swiss stereotype is fully fulfilled--well, I could love a bank if I owned one, but that not being the case.......)
PS: "Aexis" is not a typo error nor a choice because other names (Alexis, for instance) were already taken: it is my real name. And Tenax is my last name, after I chose to change the one I was sadly born with: for those of you whom don't know Latin, "Tenax" means "Tenacious" (as in "Tenacious D", the movies and the music). Modesty is not one of my defects, neither is arrogance.
Ah, my sense of humour is not shared by many: I am absolutely crazy about Monty Python, Chaplin, Buster Keaton, the Three Stooges, the animated original series of the Pink Panther (and I bought the entire DVD collection), Mr Bean, Not the Nine o'Clock News, Fry and Laurie, Red Dwarf and sooooooooooooooo many others. I even have a t-shirt that says: "I speak fluent sarcasm", to make things clearier for those with an impaired or atrophied sense of humour.
If you read until here, thanks for your time, and hope to "see" you soon!
Hi Tenacious Alexis!

It's been a pleasure to read your introduction. I have a T-shirt that has "I have six words for you" on it, what a blissful moment when they ask me what they are. Yes, T-shirts truly mark our sense of humour. Honest feedback: "it will come a day" may be the reason you haven't been published yet Great to read about your recovery, must've been quite the rocky road. Let's try not to circumvent the swear filters, it's a nice place here Oh and let's not make things political because there's no end to that and this place is all about our universal love for tech. Hey, I also have a Swiss watch, a MyKronoz ZeTime. Its quality is indeed quite remarkable! Anyway, I'll keep it short. Pleased to meet you.

Thanks for the warm welcome, and my apologies for "breaking the rules" regarding politics and"swearing". I was, as you realized, kind of testing the limits.....but I'll fall inline from now on.
Well, most of the time at least.
Ok, many times.
Alright, make it a few times.
Or two.
Or one.
;-)
Ok. I'll try my best (not) to misbehave.
You can quote me on that last line out of context as well......
Silly though, I'd have loved to know what your answer is to those asking naively "which are the six words you have for me?". I bet my soul that the censorship for the swearing would not let you write that answer here.....Nope, scratch that: I already sold my soul, so I can't bet on it anymore.....

Gotcha! Oh don't worry about it, you were merely bending them a bit. We appreciate some passion in the conversatios around here.
As for how I respond to that question: I just stare at them in silence for a bit, they usually figure it out. If they really don't get there I start tapping the words one by one.
