Okay... I'm using my paypal account to pay for an item for my friend, so i'm making sure the amount is correct so the seller don't bit** about it being incorrect.
The total yen amount is 10485 yen and according to Paypal, with their conversion, it's $110.27 US (if you don't believe me, please try it yourself). Is paypal over charging me? Or their conversion is incorrect? According to http://www.unitconversion.org/ The conversion is $91.25. (with caculation, this site seems old, the conversion is 114 yen per dollar, which according to other sites, this crap is outdated...) According to Google - 10 485 Japanese yen = 107.1567 U.S. dollars According to Yahoo Finance its - 97.27 yen per dollar. So paypal's conversion is incorrect? Or was there some hidden charges in there that I might have overlooked? But this is simply a money transfer, so I shouldn't be charged that... Thanks, Aoie.

I used a currency calculator from a german site and their exchange rate is currently 1 JPY (Yen) = 0,01028 USD (United States Dollar) and if you add 2,75% you'll get near your price. And with the right exchangerate you will get exactly your price I guess. |

Please forgive me if this is inappropriate here but it's just an odd thought that popped into my head today and's been bugging me.
In Roman mythology the Goddess of Love is called 'Venus.' However, 'us' is the ending for male names - Claudius, Augustus, Julius, while 'a' is the ending for females - Claudia, Augusta, Julia. How did Venus came to have a male ending? |

I don't know if we can ask questions about real life issues, but I'll ask it anyway since I'm too scared to make a thread.
If you hate someone and want them out of your life, should you tell them how you feel or keep your feelings hidden? I hate someone to the point where I sometimes have murderous thoughts about him, and I really want him out of my life (even though it's not likely to happen). I've been told I should confront him about it, but I'm afraid of any possible consequence that could come as a result of telling him how I feel, so I've been holding in my anger and frustration for years. |

It's never good to bottle up emotions for a long period of time; they can really eat at your everyday living. I'm speaking from personal experience. The key point is that when/if you confront him, try not to be offensive or accusive in any way, or else he won't be willing to listen and change. |

For a confrontation, gather your thoughts beforehand so that you can communicate clearly. What do you want to tell them? "I hate your guts" doesn't give the other person a whole lot of information. Is there something that they do that bothers you? Is there something you'd want them to change? While they likely won't stop or change just because you tell them, that is a more effective manner of communication. Also, be prepared for any backlash. Nobody likes to be told that they're doing something wrong or something that bothers someone else, and they may either become angry at you, become sarcastic, and/or deny that they were doing anything wrong. Be open enough to accept that they may have grievances against you, and if they air those, do not react defensively. Listen to what they say just as you'd want them to listen to you. It's difficult to stay calm and be collected in such a conversation, especially when there are such heated emotions on your end. I have done something similar (which you can PM me about if you'd like to hear specifics; I won't share it publicly) - I didn't get to the point of murderous thoughts, but I would have nightmares, trouble sleeping, and generally felt very uncomfortable all the time. I finally confronted the person to put an end to it. While the end result was not as great as I'd hoped (largely because the other person did not recognize their poor behavior and essentially accused me of making it up), letting them know how I felt was a major relief. How I dealt with it after that may also be of use to you. I was placed into a situation where I couldn't get away from them and we were always together in close proximity for about a week. ~3 days into it I felt extremely uncomfortable with them. It wasn't that they were taking any particular actions against me, but I was just getting bothered, and after dealing with it for years it was becoming unbearable. Talking to them would not resolve things because the complaint would likely not be well received and they probably would not change. Instead, I had a conversation with them in my own mind, and the conversation went the way that I would have wanted it to go (not that they agreed with every single thing I said, but that they ultimately recognized my point, respected it, and it had a realistic yet positive ending). While it didn't change them, it helped to change my opinion toward them. The end result was that my tolerance for them increased, so that I no longer felt extremely uncomfortable and was able to get through that week without losing sleep or exploding at them. (I don't necessarily recommend using such a method for the long term, however.) The forum generally deletes threads dealing with personal problems. If you'd like to discuss your problem further, feel free to PM me.

EDIT: Unless it's someone you have to respect, like a teacher or parent. Then I dunno. I guess do the same, develop a thick skin to take any insults or w/e thrown at you and interact with him/her as little as possible. Just enough to show respect, etc. Last edited by Konpachi; 2008-11-10 at 23:19. |

Not really silly, but a random question nonetheless:
Does anyone know where I can download the font 'wtf new strike,' or whatever font is used for the Aria logo? Please PM me the answer if you know ^_^
