Basically: do you have a desk/space? If so, it's more a career than just a job.

Edit: we use them as synonyms a lot here too, but people have made this divide, I'm guessing comedians. Basically, the one is dead end, easily replaceable, the other isn't.

Lol swype typo! The training here was 19 weeks total. Most of my group are moving in to generic customer service positions, but my boss is getting me a tech position.
. Then from there I'll get a position training people and be good to go.

One of them is you spending your life doing what you enjoy for a living.
One is you making payments on your current bills monthly and just existing/surviving at a role in society that you don't enjoy
So like the difference between a pornstar and a ***?

A lot of words are used synonymously with each other, that when viewed separately, mean different things.

Which is also why, beyond the use of a dictionary to find said terms, we use a thesaurus to find terms which can be used in similar fashions, even if they aren't entirely the same, because of how they apply to a situation.

It's more akin to the difference between a *** and a ***.

Both give out easily, only one does it for material goods.

The pornstar reference would be better suited if compared to an actor or actress.

Job is what you do for money, a career is when that job has the potential to turn into a better job.

Debating if I should create a fifth account hmmm.
I'd love to have a corsair following me around or something and I'm about to run through every mission in game anyway, why not let them come along and get it done.

plus I have no galka or tarus, tiniest model taru cor would be adorable lol

I'm probably going to soon tear through all of the Toau missions on Bahamut over here, some company would be fun.

Indeed.

Like some people use the words; stupid, retard, moron, idiot, imbecile, ignorant etc synonymously, yet they have different individual meanings (although I am not privy to the differences of some of them off the top of my head, admittedly).

Retard is one of my favorite words (and some would argue why that is) but I tend to use it sparingly and only in proper context.

Think I've only ever been offended once when someone said that one of the comments I made was "HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE", because the word itself was used beyond it's literal context.

Jet's obviously said some of my comments were HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, and I have no beef with that. Some of them, admittedly, were HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE in the context they were read.

Also, people tend to immediately think "retard/HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE" can only refer to those of mental handicap, or medical mental retardation because it's the only way they know how to link the word to anything. (This kind of thinking, is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, in the context that it slows, stalls, or prevents progress on the subject or context surrounding one or more facets of the conversation, such as mental illness, or stunted mental development, beyond an individual's control)

If you've ever read the winners of the "Darwin Awards", you would probably agree, those people were either stupid, ignorant, HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE, moronic, imbecilic, or worse.

I can understand that point, here's my only issue with the word HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE:

Some claim that it's only to be used to refer to those that are mentally handicapped, and that line of reasoning bothers me, as they don't give a ***when you use the word, as long as you're not calling them it. I mean has white knighting gotten to that point?

I digress though, and am ranting about something that has long since passed.

I don't have an issue with any word (not in the way you just used the word "issue" that is. But that's because I try to look for the context of what is being said, not the words that are used. Also not a fan of censorship, of any kind. So hey.

I'm sure you're smart enough to get the reference to a Mel Brooks movie... but just in case...

I'm smart enough to get a reference, but I'd have to have seen the movie to do so. Sorry to disappoint.

Front page SS bug should be fixed. The queue wasn't dismissing SSs that the uploader deleted while awaiting approval, those that 404'd were actually deleted.
