Life Advice / Dealing with Anger and Greed
« on: March 07, 2014, 08:23:48 am »
I'm not sure how to structure things right now in the best way because we just had an agro fest here at my house at 7 in the morning.

My brother is has mental issues {we think it's autism, talks to himself and can get aggresive if talked to too straightly} and my mom who has been very angry over the past days over my step dad cheating on her, money issues, my outburst over college math, and food stamp bullshit.

It feels like a snowball effect all around. My mom starts getting agro, demanding we change what job i should have, going to church {i left because i couldn't stand the noise of loudspeakers in a tiny room}, making more friends, and just yelling when things go wrong on her side.

Yesterday i failed a practice exam for this online modular class that i have to take since i opted out of college algebra. I felt terrible and she woudn't stop asking me questions when i told her i just DON"T want to talk about it. Then she went on with the above and i left the house on another walk to vent my frustrations. I felt like i was going to fail algebra and never get my degree. Like my entire dream of travelling and having fun with optimal amounts of cash were just not going to happen. I felt like commiting suacide {obviously i didn't do it and i feel better this morning}.

Today i woke up calm ready to tackle the pixel shit out of the work in that same modular math class i was in. Then shit escalated out of nowhere. My brother asked why some government welfare check {or w.e} wasn't coming, my mom telling him it was deposited in the bank, him getting angry because he only has 53 dollars { were working class here btw lol}, and my mom getting even angrier and accusing us of being untalkable.

I see now that the last part does stick to me but honestly at 19 don't i have a fucking right to share agro news about my life when I WANT TO?!

It ended when my brother trew something light {that i feel was 50$ my mom gave him for gym membership or something} and i decided to GTFO because last time he was mad i punched me in the back of the head and our biological dad came down on both of us. Wish he would fix this by trowing my brother out but w.e. he can't and wouldn't have the heart to do it.

So bay 12'er's i ask: what the fuck can i do, if anything?

Life Advice / multiplication easy...WHAT?!?
« on: March 03, 2014, 08:22:20 pm »
Okay drama aside i was wondering someone could answer this simple question. How to solve {put away your calculators dammit!} multiplication in the double digits/triple digits without using calculators. I have a online test that i doubt will let me use a calculator {although they say one or two will be provided by the test if it deems it necessary}.

Example: 23 times 45

or 156 times 471.

Basically a "paper to pen" way to multiply big numbers.

Life Advice / A cheap way ahead?
« on: February 12, 2014, 01:34:42 pm »
Today i was asked by my college adviser if i had any problems in math in school which i said yes to {because i did}. An although we were on the same page
that i was doing good in my other classes i did come forth with a bit of a dirty secret. I was diagnosed with a learning disability when i was young in elementary and it followed me through high school/college. My question is the following: Is it possible that without this "leveling the playing field" option i wouldn't be able to succeed in college or life?

I've heard genes play a significant role in IQ and although I've never taken the test, it feels like i wound't be very good at it...

College started out with 4 easy classes and none except english {where i was "elected" group leaders of a project} and Algebra where i just can't get it and the damn teacher goes TOO fast. I swear she must be on fucking caffine overdose and my hand is invisible. Ive gone to the college's math labs and even done some study dates with freinds but i can't make enough progress and feel comfortable about passing. i've made the decison to drop the class and i'm not sure if my fed. grant will be suspended.

Anyone know of any thing i could be doing wrong? i spend an hour and 30 mins monday,tuesday, wedensday, and friday at labs. plus random time doing H.W.

Is it possible i just can't learn it?

So ive been trying to get my hands on a copy of the game ever since i saw jefmajor's LP of it but to no avail. Can someone help out?

Agent you have been selected by the Earth Federation for a very important and top secret mission. As you know with the 100 year war coming to an end we need to re-stock our armories and more importantly earth as a whole. The planet of Tyrone Capital of the Tyronian's is rich in resources yet Chairman Roberto Padilla refuses to expand trade for "Security purposes". He claim's that an insurgency is being formented yet we know nothing about it's true existence. So your mission is as followed either A: find and support this insurgency anyway you can so long as they expand trade with us and no one else or B: Make an insurgency. Tyrone is still heavy in border checks but we can get you in so long as we don't give you too much contraband.

Your assets are as followed: Yourself and three other agents of Military, Diplomatic, and Economical expertise. You may think of them as advisers or a cell that is up to you.
Once on the ground you the agents will come to you with their Initial findings and from their you are to begin operations to bring down Roberto. This is a Black op if you are found our government will erase all scraps of your existence to cleanse itself. Do not fail or your family will not be spared from Russian Gulags.

Life Advice / Those guys...
« on: July 17, 2013, 10:19:03 am »
So i found out a few days ago about a site called "somethingawful.com" which is notorious for several things like being assholes. An i was going to back away until i found out that their site actually had an LP section which people tell me is one of the best out there. So my question is the following is 10$ worth getting an account on these forums?

Also for refrence their VERY WELL KNOWN for kicking people out almost as soon as they get an account made.

DF Suggestions / Street brawls?
« on: December 12, 2012, 09:57:54 pm »
I was thinking in DF right now are there gangs of old dwarven veteran's who can clump up and start fights with other gangs?
I think it would be funny to have a one-armed dwarf fist fighting with other dwarves for gang power and all that. any idea's? or i just a stupid head?
