    I assume you mean "toking" rather than "smoking".
    Because they couldn't possibly mean the same thing, right? Right?
    Correct. If you specify what is being smoked, then yes, it can refer to marijuana use. Used by themselves, the two words don't mean the same thing. Here, try substituting one for the other below.

    Boss: "Where's Frank?" Mary: "He stepped outside to smoke."

    This website is ridiculous. He meant smoke pot. He doesn't have to specify that. Everyone here thinks they are so smart and end up making themselves look stupid.

    I have to disagree with invisibility being the best super power. over a few weeks, some friends and I all did a study on what would be the best super power based on the following criteria.
    1. potential for profit.
    2. potential for helping mankind.
    3. probability of being caught, stuck in a lab and studied if exposed.

    The idea was to find the power with which you could achieve the most results with the least bit of detection.

    Flying would be fun but the first time you flew, the government would catch you and you would be hidden in area 51 for the remainder of your years.

    Invisibility sounds nice but doesn't imply that you have no mass. So you are invisible but still have to use doors, make zero noise, and mask your body heat and odor. You can still be hit by a car when you have forgotten that you are invisible as you are walking through a cross walk. It is just not good.

    Just a couple examples. at any rate, after analyzing every power we could think of from breathing under water to "My seamen cures cancer" (that one had potential)

    We deduced that mind control over others was the best. You can achieve any human action through no actions of your own.

    You can: make your boss give you a raise.

    Make the banker err in your favor for a few grand and make his boss not fire him for it.

    Make "the man" Lower the price of gas

    Sure w/ invisibility, you can go into the girl's locker room but with mind control, they come over to your house. :)

    It depends upon personality, I think. Mind Control shows you would have a very dominating, controlling personality. Invisibility is much more passive, "I can do what I want and not disturb anyone". And if you can stop light from the visible spectrum from interacting with you, why wouldn't the infrared energy being produced by your body heat be masked as well? Perhaps the entire electromagnetic spectrum does not diffract nor emit from you if you're invisible.

    For me, what I want is the ability to Save Game. Seriously, I could Save, try to rob a bank, get killed, Load Game, and try again using knowledge from my first attempt. It's what I miss most about returning to the Real World or playing multiplayer games. If at first you don't succeed, reload the save game and try, try again.

  • Crabs (unregistered)

    Mind control is a good super power, but your life eventually becomes emotionally meaningless. You never know real companionship, because you can't be sure that your companion is true, or whether you're subconsciously controlling them to like you.

    I guess if you stop believing in constructs like love, and wish only for physical benefits, then mind control can be considered the best superpower. I prefer agelessness, but it suffers from a similar problem, since you must force yourself to not become attached to those who will die, or else your entire existence will be suffering.

    It's funny, that was exactly what I was thinking when I saw the super power question. Either great minds think alike, or we're all perverts.

    Invisibility wouldn't be so great. Technically, you wouldn't be able to see, because your eyes wouldn't absorb any light. If you made an exception that your retina would be visible, then you still couldn't see without an opaque sclera, and a lens. Essentially you would be two bulging eyes floating in space. Quite gross actually.

    As far as super powers go, we're assuming there is a certain ability to get around natural laws of physics, etc. So we can assume that, when invisible, the light interacts with your retina without actually being absorbed, refracted, nor reflected. This doesn't solve the issue with not having a lense, but we can assume that your retina would be sufficiently altered so as to make the lense unnecessary when invisible. Technically, it would be "impossible" (using current science) for a living thing to be naturally invisible without the aid of technology. An invsibility cloak is something else entirely, but not "invisible man" style invisibility.

    What, you mean kill yourself? It's not like you have the option to step away from your body and go do something else. Except what would happen if you kill yourself? I just said you can load from a save game after dieing, so I would assume that would be something automatic, or at least subconscious. Oops, I died, reload. Well crap, now I've got to play the last 3 years because I was using quick save! Unless, of course, as I imagine in my case, "quick save" just creates a new save game named "quick save 1", "quick save 2", "quick save 3125972", etc, so you don't actually lose any data while quick saving. There are games like that, so that's how I imagine the super power being. Also, it would have auto-saves (similar to the quick saves) every time you wake up or something. If the universe or your super power or whatnot only has a limited amount of save slots/memory, you'd have to decide which ones to delete, but for me, since I'm "inventing" the super power, I say you have at least enough memory for a few hundred thousand save points, with autosaves and quick saves being deleted automatically only as necessary.

    I agree for the most part, but there are mixed messages in that story. The interviewer mentions "salary" then "minimum wage". Usually it is one or the other.

    At the same time, including "office assistant" in a job description screams "minimum wage" to me. I don't know why you would include that in a job description for a technical job.

    Yet, any company in business that long that has learned to bring people in for a 90-day trial you would think should have it together better as far as terminology and the ability to precisely convey the parameters of employment.

    Very confusing story if you ask me.

    On reflection, maybe time travel would be a good answer. You can say you'd use it for learning (and not to visit kicking roman orgies) because you have a live long love of learning. And you'd like to time travel so you have more time to work!

    If you're getting laid why would you need sneak into a locker room?

    Now, rather than have the power of invisibility, I think having the power of illusion would be much better. If you can make people think they see/hear something, you could have so much fun screwing with people.

    Plus, you could give off the illusion that you're not standing there gawking in the locker room.

    Still in school, eh? So - you tell your boss you don't like working conditions. He tells you "ok, then get out" - because (in the US at least) employment is typically "at will"; meaning that you can get fired at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all.

    WTF is that supposed to mean? I'm saying, "According to our science, Superheroes cannot exist. Therefore, if we operate in a world where superheros exist, we cannot apply our science to them." Therefore, the argument that you cannot see whilst invisible is incorrect because you are applying our science to a world where our science cannot apply.

    Well, I can understand why you'd expect to have to pay a really brillant web designer or sysadmin something in the region of $40,000 a year, but for a half-way decent administrative assistant?

    Forget it.

    Well, I don't know where you live but where I live, I'd expect to pay a half way decent admin assistant around $35k per year and a really "brillant" web designer around $65k per year. The sysadmin (also just as "brillant") would go for at least $70k per year and probably a lot more than that if they were really that brilliant.

    It was either venomous sarcasm or else unjustifiable personal prejudice. Take your pick.

    The minimum wage guy almost certainly burned his bridge too soon. Companies do not stay in business for 20 years, particularly in a field where incompetent companies tend to crash fast, by treating their employees like dirt. The interviewer probably misused a term that he did not fully understand. By throwing a tantrum our hero probably lost out on a decent-paying job. The real WTF here is that he never confirmed his suspicion before acting on it. Not the sort of person I would want working for me.

    He was already ready to turn down the job because they wanted him to be sys admin and office assistant on top of the web developer job. The fact that the interviewer who offered him the job didn't even know what the salary was, and seemed surprised that he wanted to know was just the last straw. (And expecting him to start the next day? This sounds more like hiring a minimum wage fry cook than a web developer)
