the reason she doesn't have a job anymore is that she fell ill and has a chronic illness. Basicaly she'll get into period where her hands and arms or neck will hurt a lot for a day or two, and she'll be stuck in bed. I'm the ONLY one in my family who ever stuck by the side of the bed. I'm the one who gets her meals when she's sick. My sister's would never stoop so low as to help someone in her family, and my dad doesn't care or whatever the hell drives him to not do it.
I guess we don't talk.
So yeah she couldn't hold ANY job, so she says. Not being an ass, I believe, I don't question that. But fucked I'll be if I start having to do things that aren't in my nature to suddenly please her in a dubious manner.
Maybe she is trying to push you on your feet to get you a place of your own and out of her house.
I don't know. The "get your own place" insult/bitch hasn't become a staple yet, so she's probably reluctant. Not only that but she's not stupid. She knows its hard to just live on your own, especialy when you have no good reason too. And also, I'm the one who sticks by her the most in the whole family, and the one who understands her the best. Fuck, when I leave, I'll either have to visit a LOT or she'll be depressed REAL fast, unless she's been lying all this time.
In any case, I'm not the kind of person who'd visit anyone in my family. If I go, I GO.

rolleyes x 4.53
I reccomend just telling her off.
I've just grown into the "ignore the roar" phase. When you've been yelled at for 20 year for every little thing, you get pretty used to it. I dunno, its like "yeah yeah I know the drill, your life will end because my shoes are sideways".

its not "anti-social". Its just like.. fuck shut up people :p
Ok maybe the mods who were at the meetup will say I don't talk a lot. I just don't like talking out in the open just randomly striking conversations with 4 people. Its just fucking weird.

that's basicaly what I do. She goes to sleep from anywhere from midnight to 3am. There's hardly any telling WHEN she'll be gone. So I just wake up and start it up again, and do so once more when I come back from work.
And she acts all pissed. Like, FUCK, YOU'RE the one who'se getting 24/7 internet while I get 1/3 of my days, don't fucking complain.
I swear. Plus my sister is now a ff11 addict, and she installed the game on the good computer, so now I can't even start the program on there and make it wait or whatever you had in mind :o

suddenly College doesn't seem that expensive when you can live at home now does it? Stay there 3 years and at home, you've saved yourself 24k. I'd like 24k.

She's not some retarded pet I can trick with a nintendo and some knitting. The only way I could possibly get her off more is probably by cooking with her. Do you think I want to cook or play after I'm done working?

Yeah I don't think she's conceded anything to me or anyone in her entire life. Fat chance. Its either I do as she wants, or nothing.
I mean, fuck I sound like a total asshole don't I? She justs wants me to say "hello" and "good night" but fuck, there's just too much that's weird and sudden about it, I just don't trust her.

you still live with your mom?
parents.
And I'm not questionning that decision ONE BIT. With the cost of housing, and College at biking distance, I'd be a complete RETARD to shell out money for food, bills and housing when my parents ( well... my dad) are willing to do it.
Plus I'm paid like 1000$ a month at my job. That's what I make, and only during full-time summer. Yeah right I'll get my own place with that kind of money.
Hey maybe I should buy myself a fucking Yatch too.
I work on a golf course and I've never seen any athletes there.
So I don't think its a "sport".
and I don't play. Can't be all that bad though, since its about hitting on something.
Ok so I work outside 40 hours a week. I get up at about 3:30am and then go to work until either 11:20am or 2:15pm every day. I don't usualy talk to people to small talk. At all. If you AIM me for instance, I'll say "what?" and not "hi".
I'm like that in real life too, that's what I do.
Now, my mom ( yeah laugh it up) DEMANDS that I say "hello" when I come back from work and "goodbye" when I go to sleep.
I have NEVER done this in my life, wether I was at school, day camp or whatever. And now suddenly, I should? Because she asks?
Here's a rundown of her typical day:
-get up
-get in front of computer
-go outside and do somegardening while alternating with computer
-come back to computer
-make supper for her and my dad because I won't eat supper anymore because I want to sleep.
o.o
Why is it so hard for HER to greet ME after I come back from work?
Why does she DEMAND that I say these things NOW when I've never done it in my life and she obviously never cared before?
my theory is: I use a torrent client to download things. This puts a strain on the router, which then puts a strain on her end of the connection, causing her downloads to fluctuate too, which makes her INSTANTLY get off her ass and bitch at me, even though she unplugs my connexion most of the time I am gone, meaning I can't constantly download things like she can. When I leave, she'd want me to say it so she can unplug it ASAP, and when I come back, she wants me to say it because she knows I'll be plugging my Azureus back in.
am I being an asshole about this? Or is it possible that she is being the asshole?

If you listen to 10 songs you hate by a band, and then you keep buying their CDs, you have a MENTAL ILLNESS and you need to GIVE ME YOUR MONEY RIGHT NOW before you waste it again.
Same goes when you spend hours sitting in front of the tv catching up on the latest celebrity scandals and all that fucking bullshit no one should care about, and then you get pissed and start hating celebrities.
Seriously, people usualy like ONE celebrity for every 50 they hate, but they still watch all those dumbass shows and read those dumbass magazine

he got banned for a while and then like unbanned and did the same shit he usualy did back then, which is to post about how he hated anime while updating everyone on the latest things from japan.

And its not that you're not ALLOWED to hate something you know a lot ( and I mean A LOT) about. Its that you're just a wanker. Seriously. Why would you know so much about something you hate, if not just to whine as loudly as possible?

I hate these kind of people too. Here's a complex and accurate spreadsheet of their traits, characteristics, and general attitude.
its not even ironic or hypocrisy. I noticed this shit after coming across these people a couple times. You CAN'T figure out the history of 30 bands you hate just by reading a forum.
are you guys getting stupider or what?

maybe I'm just getting smarter, but I don't see how that could be possible.

You know the kind of people who hate something a LOT, yet have waaaaaaay too much knowledge about it?
Usualy, its people who hate bands. They'll hate EVERYTHING but they'll know all about the singers, the music, the albums, the songs and everything in between. They'll know about the drug history of the frontman, the shady past of the bassist, the lovelife of the sound technician and the alcohol addiction of the guy who put the label on Metalica CDs in some huge forgotten factory in the ass-end of nowhere.
on a more NG-related level: think of RPJ. He hates Anime, but all he does day-in day-out is watch anime and complain. Its not even funny, its really fucking sad.
DON'T BE THESE PEOPLE. If you're going to hate something, at least prove it by not learning everything about it, and next time someone tells you "you didn't even play all 11 1/2 games" when you say "fuck Final Fantasy", please, PLEASE punch them in the face instead of actualy playing all the games.

Re-check your disks.
Nyways, I don't know dick about this.
Basicaly what she did: eat shit, but less.
She didn't get even a tiny bit healthier, she just withered away by eating that shitty food. Yes, you will obviously lose weight if you eat less than what you body needs. You can eat only cake for 10 years and you'll lose weight, but you'll probably die because your body lacks nutrients.
The point of the movie "Supersize Me" was more to show that McD's food was of POOR QUALITY, not that it made you fat. You will DIE if you eat only their food, that was basicaly the point, and its not like McD's was only say chocolate milk. Its got meats, bread, "veggies" ( fries...) and milk products, so TECHNICALY it should sustain you adequately, but the truth is 95% of it is pure shit that will actualy KILL you slowly if you eat it too much.
The movie wasn't JUST about McD's but the problem of obese america as well, and the effects of an overall bad nutrition throughout the country.
you can get fat eating anything, and you can lose weight eating anything, but can you stay healthy?
actualy he's right about the Kiddie shit.
Back in the SNES days, the nint had CONTRA, Mortal Kombat, Final Fight and general a LOT of game were you just beat the shit out of stuff.

I don't really follow Nintendo anymore anyways.

I'd say: just leave that stuff be. The ending was weird too.
But its a charming show, not as addictive as Naruto or Bleach, but those shows are made that way, so :p

Brain size =/= intelligence, as easily demonstrated by the brain of a frickin whale.

2- stop eating so much sugar
3- skip a night's sleep, then you'll be tired as hell

No of course there is none, see, its way more rewarding when you get in heaven because you made a complete gamble on its existence! Man I'd be so more fullfilled if I got into heaven, and when they get there they'd go "hey you know you had 1/3000000000000000000 chances of being right? But you were bold and took such a stupid gamble anyways! HERE'S YOUR REWARD YOU MORON!".
That's why God doesn't show himself. He wants you to have blind faith in him. He wants to confirm he won't let intelligent people into heaven, or else they would rebel and he'd just have to send them to hell forever, even though he's a really really nice guy.
Darwin’s theory of evolution simply disproves these statements, we now know like all animals on our planet we evolved from microscopic organisms.
dude, that's just a theory. Do you know what a theory is? Me neither. But I read on the internet that since its a theory, its not 100% sure, so it must be wrong and God exists.
The Bible claims God created the heavens and earth in a week, 7 days, 168 hours
yeah but back then, they used "seven" as the number of completion. I mean, we named it like that NOW and back then they really thought it was actualy 7 days, but that's besides the point. The point is that I can stretch 7 days into 7 billions years, because God didn't create people who knew how to count until after the bible was written.
So its totaly possible. So you see, the bible tells THE TRUTH about this, and science only confirms it! But only if the bible says it, THEN science is true and I use it as an argument. Otherwise, science is always false.
disease and famine.
alright really? Well check this one out! Did you know that in a part of the bible, its written to not stick your fingers unto diseased rat's mouths while eating your own shit?
God TOLD the people this, so they wouldn't do it! If it weren't for the bible's predictions and guidance, everybody would still be eating their own shit RIGHT NOW. Bet you don't feel so high and mighty now do ya! What good is science if it can't help me not eat my own shit?
I put it to all the religious leaders of the world that organized faiths through persecution and war have killed and tortured a totally unacceptable amount of innocent people, can that truly be a good thing?
but they weren't REAL christians.
OK.
So it doesn't count.
we can never let any dictator gain land, power or weapons of mass destruction.
fuck, I think its too late.
Thank God they have the bible though, or else they'd be eating their own shit.
One American study of people exceeding the age of 100 showed a common trait between such individuals, they all had strong religious beliefs.
dude come on, everyone was religious until like 40 years ago.
I MEAN I MEAN
Yes, see, God rewards you for believing in him! Nevermind every christian who got tortured and whatever shit, they went in heaven. But they get to live old and drool in their beds for 20 extra years! See, that's the power of GOD
Some may use the millions of ghost sightings
Sorry, the bible says nothing about Ghosts, so they are lying.
See? The bible makes everything simple. No need to ask questions! THEY ARE JUST LIARS.
*whew* I can now get back to the important stuff like driling for oil and buying guns to kill dark-skinned sinners.
If you look at the cases of modern day individuals claiming to be directly related to gods or speaking with and for gods, they are disregarded by religious followers and atheists alike, yet all major religions are based on such people from the past.
Yes, but obviously they were right, or else no one would have written the bible. Do you see anyone now writing the bible?
NO
So, it is true because that's when they wrote the bible.
If you consider the case of David Ike claiming to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, atheists considered the man to be mentally unstable while Christians considered his words to be blasphemy.
lol what a bunch of Jews.
For serious.
have been the same sort of people to crucify Jesus Christ in the bible?
no, because back then they didn't have the bible to tell them who Jesus was! Now we know who Jesus is, so that guy is a charlatant and a douche bag!
If an ever lasting and perfect afterlife awaited us on death it would be desirable to turn your toes up as quickly as possible.
Yes, but ading a "no suicide" clause to the bible is realy convenient because then you can make people works your fields all their lives, and the best part is they'll shut the fuck up because they think they'll get a great reward after they wither in the sun for 40 years!
Hahaha THANK YOU BIBLE.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See, that was an argument. YES IT WAS. So I'm right.
But if religion was not taught in the first place...
There is no "if" here because God definately exists ( remember, evolution is just a theory, hence god exists) so shut up you sinner.
out any chance of an afterlife or a god.
ok this is the part where I say how I think you're a really sad person because your life has no meaning anymore! Instead of being a good person to get to heaven, you just have to be a good person without expecting infinite gifts from the skies for it and deal with the shit flung at you. Like, you smell.
YOU POOR SOUL.
as long as they do not force there personal beliefs on others a specially children or people possibly made more vulnerable through recant loss or hardship.
Q: How do you leave your kids at home every time you have to go to church?
A: YOU DON'T!
Isn't that convenient? A ritual that forces parents to teach it to their kids! Wow, what a coincidence, no?
The FUNNIEST thing of all?
Both believers and disbelievers choose what they think FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON which is that both think the other's source is "not valid".
for example, some people will say ( stupidly) "evolution is just a theory, hence it is like so not true, ok, so like penis!!!".
This is SCEPTICISM.
And then, they'll turn around and accuse people of having a lack of faith, being bastards etc etc.
blah. basicaly, religious people = believe what they believe 100% out of pure headstrongness. No matter what amount of reason you hammer in there, they will deny EVERYTHING.
Guaranteed. NOTHING is "proof enough" for them, but for some reason, they are right about everything until your prove them wrong, which isn't even possible in the first place, so they are content with it, sit back on their asses and pretend they are right.
Save your money.
No, seriously, you don't HAVE to spend your money. You could just stay home and jerk off. Wouldn't that be a better use of your time anyways?
Come on, a shitty band aimed at teenage girls, or an AMERICAN comedian? Name ONE good american comedian who isn't named "Conan" or "O'Brian".
exactly.
So save your money.

Only if you look at it from a self-serving, egocentric viewpoint.
stuff it, you're self-serving and egocentric like everyone else on earth. Reading the bible doesn't change your fucking genes nor does it change the reality that you do everything to better your future or your present condition, which is the very definition of being self-serving and egocentric.
