Post by Mahn on Feb 7, 2009 19:29:30 GMT -6
I'm moving into my new place Monday, which will be an apartment. Shutting down the computers tomorrow to clean them out to not carry any bugs with me to the apartment. I also got my other items to pack and calls to make for transferring bills. I honestly don't know when I'll be able to have the computers set back up, but they shouldn't be down past Wednesday. Don't worry, the lease on the apartment is one year, so I won't be moving anytime soon. $550 a month. Gotta pay electric. Come fully loaded with a full size washer/dryer, fridge, dish washer, stove, and a garbage disposal. Very nice place. Best deal/offer I can find because alot of places don't throw in washer/dryers and make you use their "laundry facilitys" and I HATE that. Anyways, going down tomorrow. Be up sometime soon after that. - Mahn

So, how do you understand what they say if they are smart? I'm shocked if you can even read what smart people say.

Because they can spell. o.o Ends up only one person can. Everyone else? Not so much.
And I can read it. It actually hurts my eyes to read bad Grammar and spelling. >__>

You know... I'm actually not as smart as I come off as, or even feel like I am. But no one ever comments on me being an idiot. Who's the say smart people don't, you know, just lose themselves in the moment and try to have fun? >.>
A game's a game, enjoy it. Regardless of intelligence, if a person enjoys it, let them. If they go out of their way to bug you, like in your party and screwing stuff up as a small example then, that's another matter. xD

Is he calling you a dope, or saying it's dope that we answer questions here? Either way, I feel the need to laugh at him xD
And btw, congratulations Mahn. I just realized I haven't said anything about the actual topic of this discussion... But that's cool, home you enjoy the new place, and it doesn't end up like mine, where everything looks great, you move in and sign for a year-long lease, then everything falls apart and it's just a crapshack now >.<

I can leave virtually anything on here, come back the next day, and have both a awnser AND Sur Realises big wall of text calling me an idiot! It's awsome! How dare you refer to such a thing as magic. How ridiculous, how stupid, how dumb! I mean, I knew you were of little intelligence, but this is ridiculous. Why, I remember when people actually gave a rat's ass about ongoing situations of the world, rather than just sitting at the computer and smoking weed or popping pills like candy. It makes me shed tears at how shallow and worthless our youth of today has become! Is there no future for tomorrow? Is there no righteous god, to show us the way to set straight our own offspring? Those idiots out there in the age 13-18 demographic that like to call themselves "young adults". What crap. The only adult I can see in them is the bloody cigarette smoke they are enhaling through their own free will. The way they keep puffing on their "ciggies", they won't get too far out of their 20's before succombing to the cancer that is slowly building in their bloody laranyx or lungs! OK- that point has many others around my age and older in the same situation, but these blithering morons still like, after NUMEROUS talks and ads splattered all around them, to go out and act "cool" and take up smoking. To those my age and older- they took up smoking when the ads were either non-apparent, or there just was not enough prescence of mind to get them to not start, or to stop smoking.
Anyway- the smoking aside, the people that are also on their way to becoming the "face of Australia's future" (Crap, there is a horrible thought!), also seem to think the way to become "cool" and "hip" are to either get around in Kappa, FuBu or the latest brand of clothing, that has probably been made in a Chinese sweatshop overseas, or- in some cases, Springvale North. Although Kappa at least have finally made a name for themselves, as 5 years ago, they were still trying to get out of the Fitzroy warehouse they are made in. These teens also love to make sure that their pants are either slashed to oblivion, or so long that they would be tripping over the hems as they drag them along through the dogshit that is on their front lawn. Remember Kriss Kross and their fashion? Me thinks we have come full circle. Praise Allah that we don't hear their bloody music again! Hearing it in 1990-1992 was bad enough!
A separate topic now- but it still warrants comment on the current subject overall. Have any of you been on public transport, be it bus, train or tram, and seen the hordes of locusts that like to call themselves a posse, get on and throw their bags all over the place? Most of them will be probably still be putting out their magic stick (t'would be the ciggarette), and then blow it all over the people inside once they were in and the door was closed. Fine. I can deal with that. I passively smoke every day. A lot of people have decided to complain over that. Good start. Now let's concentrate on the fact that they start to swear. Loudly. Shit, I know I swear like a blue streak, and publicly too, (thanks to this site), but people don't have to read this. They do however, have to listen to others on the ride. There is no choice, unless they have earphones to plug up the "swaggertalk". Swaggertalk. That's all it is. Trying to look cool in front of their friends.
The other day, however, I had had enough of it on the trainride home. They had even managed to get in above my CD player with the noise! So off I went towards the offenders. One guy noticed me and stopped talking. I mean- I'm not a tough guy (hell- I would be laughed at if I said I was!), but I guess the height and the long black jacket and suit I had on cut a mean enough figure. I quietly asked the main offender to quieten down. Not stop swearing, but if he was to do so, to do so in a barely audible manner. I even said that this was what I did if I wanted to swear. You know. Make him feel that I didn't want to physically ask him to stop. Well.....He didn't really like this, and shot up, yelling at me. The fact that he was about half a foot smaller than me (probably year 8 or so), didn't do him any credit. And also, at this stage, I had generated an audience, due to his megaphone announcement to me that he didn't like my attitude. I sighed, and again, asked him to just quieten down. His other friends had now not said a word. Again- a yelling "You can't tell me what to do" Although, at this stage, he was shaking. (Seriously- I am NOT a menacing person!). I politely said that no, I couldn't, but I did have the right to now report him to the idiots that call themselves "Travelsafe Officers" (which is another subjec). Hell- there was no way I would bother complaining to them about this, but I think he got the message. He sat down, shut up, and I went back to my CD, almost tripping over the bags that had been strewn across the floor.
That reminds me, I was browsing the forums of another site, the name of which will remain a secret* to protect all involved. It is a family friendly site however. I have been to this site before, but have never seen anything like this before. One of the threads was named "What should I do" or something like that...I read the thread earlier in the day and have forgotten the title. The poster seems to be a lot like me personality wise from what he posted; he doesn't like to hurt people (mentally, emotionally, or physically) and will wait a while before asking somebody out due to fear of rejection. In it, this guy talked about how he is currently "going out" with this girl who had cut her wrists previously, before they started to go out. He continues to talk about how he "likes" his current "girlfriend" 's friend. He then asked for advice on what to do. Later in the thread, someone replied with "why don't you try a #some". The Original Poster then said he was 13 and had already thought about trying that.
Now that I'm done with the story background, onto my commentary. It is my belief that today's children (anyone from birth until college in my eyes) are growing up way too quickly. I worked theater tech for my town's middle school plays, and I've heard some of the older students (8th, maybe 7th graders) talk about who they did what with and who they think is hot/cute/sexy...what have you. There are fifth graders lying on top of each other during rehearsal, mixed groups going off during breaks, maybe just about anything you could think of. I'm seeing them grow up in a lot more ways than just that. I was off campus at a restaurant the other day, and this kid, couldn't have been more than 13, kept getting up from his table to talk on the phone. It wasn't his parent's phone, as he pulled it out of his pocket and mommy and daddy never asked for it back. I didn't have a cell phone until I was driving and had a job, and was able to pay for it myself. What did this kid need a cell phone for? At 13, there are very few, if none, places to get a job, and it's not like he had a car. Most likely his parents knew he was either at school, at home, or at a friend’s house, and they knew where he was every minute of everyday. In places where there are plenty of phones for him to call from if he needed to get in touch with them.
Thirdly, what is with today's children's TV programming. I can't stand any of the shows my 7 year old sister watches because I can see the innuendo and stuff that I don't believe she should be exposed to. Even the animated shows are getting bad. Today’s programming always has on at least one show where there is sexual innuendo, suggestive dialogue, or coarse language. If you don't believe me and live in the US, go to either USA or TNT. While parents are ultimately reasonable for what their children are watching, they cannot be with them every minute of every day until the child turns 18 and goes off to college or moves out of the house.
In short, you are stupid. Edit: Added paragraphs

Thank you for that wonderful text wall, Kija Jr., and now that I have a headache, I will save any ranting and tell you that it was funny at first, then my head started to hurt and I couldn't read anymore, though I wish I could have.

Thank you for that wonderful text wall, Kija Jr., and now that I have a headache, I will save any ranting and tell you that it was funny at first, then my head started to hurt and I couldn't read anymore, though I wish I could have. Glad someone enjoyed the humor in it. I honestly don't know when I'll be able to have the computers set back up, but they shouldn't be down past Wednesday. Not that this is a complaint, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed that when Mahn gives us a day or date when the server will be back up, it takes some three or four extra days?

A new update: When Mahn moved into his apartment, it was only then that he found out that they do not have internet, except dial up. I am not sure what is going to happen from it yet though.

Ouch, talk about a slap in the face on his part. Aren't they legally required to tell you that? Or do they just have to say there's internet capabilities?

I would say they have to let you know about internet capabilities. I don't think it's illegal to not let you know though. But seeing the revolution of the computer business and internet connections whom's speeds have had a boost that would've looked impossible a couple of years ago and seeing the fact that almost everyone has internet or at least internet capabilities, I think that even though they're not forced to, they should let you know about the fact if there are or are not internet capabilities. And from (epic) on, I'm not going to say the words 'internet capabilities' anymore. (var/epic = "now")
P.S. I dodged the word 'now', epic pwn. O.o;

If you wanted to dodge the word, a better choice of words would be saying 'From here on out, I am not going to say the words 'internet capabilities' anymore.' Also, I sent an email to AT&T saying something like that a while back. I told them that in our digital age, dial-up is less than suitable for even simple things such as checking e-mail or instant messaging. Often have I completely failed to load Google Mail, and many times my MSN refuses to recieve messages, usually because of my subpar internet connection.
