Maybe just invite everyone every time and the people who decide to leave can just leave. That way it's not on you, it's entirely on the petty Betty who runs out crying at the presence of someone who would dare be currently dating the person they dated in the past. Be upfront about it and say "I'm inviting A,B,C,D,E,F, and G in addition to you for Rock Band" to every person you invite.
You ever notice how "being green" basically means using less water and paper and gas and electricity? It's actually a tactic for businesses to double-dip on increasing their profits: they make a concerted effort to use fewer resources that cost money, and then they get to dress it up as being environmentally-friendly to attract customers and occasionally increase prices.
A local frozen yogurt shop has different sizes of disposable paper bowls, and then they have the "green bowl," which is a large, green, washable bowl that they encourage people to use because it's "good for the environment." The measurable monetary benefit to the store, beyond simply good feelings toward the company that can possibly contribute to a customer's choice to return, is twofold. First, they reduce the volume of paper bowls they have to buy. The green bowls, while they have a higher overhead cost, are much cheaper in the long run because they rarely have to be replaced. Also, they encourage people to buy more yogurt with their larger size. People have a tendency to want to fill whatever vessel they're putting their food in, which is part of the reason why dieters recommend using a smaller plate. Since they charge by the ounce, they get more money from their customers.
I work at a grocery store. Since paper and plastic bags are pretty expensive, the store started selling "green bags," which are reusable canvas bags. They cost a dollar, enough to offset about 60 plastic bags, and they keep customers from using plastic bags so the store doesn't have to buy as many.
My dad, one of the most conservative people in existence, switched over to a paperless office because seriously paper is fucking expensive as shit I mean god DAMN.
Slightly related: "organic" food isn't necessarily any better for you than non-organic food (what do you think is going to happen if you eat non-organic food? Are you gonna blow up? Chill, dawg) and if you don't have a gluten allergy, and you would know if you did, you don't have to worry about eating gluten-free and in fact you probably shouldn't because it's unnecessarily expensive.
" Talk about girls, talk about going to the gym and generally acting like idiots. "
Um? I agree that "generally acting like idiots" is bad, but if girls and the gym are common interests then why are they unacceptable topics of conversation?
" I never really got into JPRGs for some reason. The last one i've played was Secret of Mana for like 2hrs until i got bored...well actually I'm not sure if Secret of Mana would even count as a JRPG. Any of you guys got suggestions for a "light" JRPG for a action-RPG spoiled person? "
What exactly do you mean by "light?" You mean easy to get through like Pokemon, or more action based like the Tales series? "
oh you mean easy to get through like paper mario or more action based like paper mario
Paper Mario is amazing. It's easy to beat and there is a ton to do. It has great art and music, and the characters are all interesting. If you want an introduction to the genre without getting killed by mazes or bosses who want nothing more to destroy you to death (they exist, but they're optional and mostly for fun), then if Paper Mario doesn't sell you on JRPG's then probably nothing will. It has fun puzzles that make sense. Its battles are better than plain vanilla I-hit-you-hit fare you'll get from most other JRPG's. It's very much a Mario game but with turn-based battles.
@NekuSakuraba: haha you want people to think you're one of the cool kids who subscribed even though you didn't and you didn't even do a convincing fake job
" I got to community college and major in not having a major. "
That truly is the best major. If you take too long, there's at least one school that will kick you out with a BA in general studies, which is worthless. But all my favorite classmates were the 50-year-olds who were there just to learn. I loved how enthusiastic they were :3
