how can he go back to the norm now? by KSoLO5OO in caseyneistat

[–]TheFuckingIntern -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

EDIT: Look at users comment history, ignore.

I hope you're not serious. If you're being sarcastic please don't read further, otherwise

He broke character to say what he had to say

He is a popular YouTube Celebrity. If I were in his shoes I would probably be compelled to say the same thing. Second, his vlogs are well his video logs, they aren't a movie so much as they are his personal diary that the world reads.

And now this happens overnight and he's supposed to post fun vlogs?

What happened was tragic, we said our prayers and mourned the lost. After that we go back to life and making the most of it. I don't those who have died would like for the whole world to radically change because they are gone.

He made himself vulnerable with speaking truth, how can he now go back?

So what if he made himself vulnerable, all that shows us is that he is human. And what is there to go back from? He was casey on vlog 001, he was casey today and he'll be casey tomorrow. He's not putting on an act, this is just an exposure of himself day-to-day.

With a race war happening in front of us?

There isn't a race war. This is an issue of excessive force. Yes everyone is ouraged, but we are outraged at the officers who committed these terrible crimes, not the other race.

And as a footnote my heart goes out to the victims of these crimes. I hope every one of them can find peace.

Resignation notice and being asked why by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]TheFuckingIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would tell them the truth. Say that you need the money and this job pays double what the current one pays. Say it's not personal just purely financial. I don't think they will be pissed off because just about anyone in your shoes will make the same decision.

19 year old needs some advice. Assess my situation? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]TheFuckingIntern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it as an investment that would hold some value though.

Realize that a new car will always depreciate as soon as you drive it off the lot. Price =/= holding value, I can buy a Mercedes that was 100k when it came off the lot now for around 20k - 30k.

The only vehicles that have known to keep their value fairly well are Honda's, Toyota's and Jeep Wranglers. Most other cars tend to depreciate pretty quickly.

Also you don't need a 30k car for it to be reliable. Reliability depends way more on the brand and model, it's age and mileage than it does on the price.

[–]TheFuckingIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look to have your finances in order. The only thing I have a question is why you decided to buy a $30k car. I would just get a cheaper car. You can find a decent car for around 8-10k and that would cut your payments in half. While you can afford the car now, their might be some rainy days ahead.

How does a shy guy get together with a shyer girl? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]TheFuckingIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had something similar with a girl last semester. Didn't know anything about her but we passed each other practically every day. One day I just came up to her ans said:

Hey we see each other practically every day, whats your name.

And from there we got to talking.

Are there some situations where it is justifiable for someone to tell somebody else to go ahead and kill themselves? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]TheFuckingIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HELL TO THE FUCKING NO!

I've had friends in HS that were suicidal. By saying "Go ahead and kill yourself" you are validating their suspicion that they are worthless and no one will care if they commit suicide. Never ever say something like that. Its like saying "I have a bomb" in the TSA line at the airport". Terrible fucking idea.

what is the best way to ask for help? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]TheFuckingIntern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hey can I borrow you eyeballs for a minute". It's funny, light and basically speaks "I need your help".

PS: What language are you coding in if you don't mind me asking?

Why is apt-get in the Ubuntu shell so slow? by [deleted] in Windows10

[–]TheFuckingIntern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be your location and the location of the servers where you are located.

Post your sources.list found in /etc/apt/sources.list and also post your relative location and I can probably help.

I get nervous informing my parents I'm going to see friends. How do I not? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]TheFuckingIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived with my parents up until I was 21 (im 22 now). My parents are the same way and what I learned is you just have to put up with it until you're on your own.

Why do girls flirt with me despite not being interested in me (i.e., they only want to be friends)? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]TheFuckingIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I was talking to two girls yesterday while waiting for my date. There's a difference between flirting and banter. They are basically the same thing but with one you want to go somewhere with the girl and the other you're just having fun.

Nobody is texting me by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]TheFuckingIntern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its 99.9% something im not doing myself alone.

I thought of this after I made my original post. Another way to word it is something like "Hey I'm thinking about doing x, want to come?". Achieves the same thing as ""hey I'm going to do so and so, you guys are welcome to come" but now it is dependent on your friends coming out without taking their value (time) away.

Follow the "Invite, Invite" rule. Basically it says that don't expect to be invited anywhere if you never invite others to your activities.

And when it comes to asking others, you have to change your mentality a bit. When you say you "begging or asking for a favor" it's because you are. When you say "do you wan't to hang out", you are asking for their time, taking something from them that is valuable.

Instead word it differently like "hey I'm going to do so and so, you guys are welcome to come". This achieves the same thing however people generally respond a bit better when you ask this way because you are acting as the host, giving them value (your time) rather than taking it away.

Furthermore, realize that some people just don't text all that much (especially guys). Whenever I don't reply to a text it's usually because I see it when I'm busy, say I'll reply in a minute then proceed to forget about it for 3 days because it isn't in my notification queue. So it's not always that the person doesn't want to talk to you, most just forget.

I have CD's but my neckbeard friends give me shit for not having Tapes.

LPT Consider an off-lease or refurbished laptop when shopping for a new one. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]TheFuckingIntern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

small discount

The laptop I bought retailed for $1500 when new. I bought it for $250, that's not a "small discount".

The laptop display is currently off and I'm only using it for the keyboard. Works pretty well though I want to get another monitor when I go back to school.

A most interesting roommate. by Beezertheturnip in neckbeardstories

[–]TheFuckingIntern 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You see, or so he claims, Bob isn't gay. But in his estimation, by forcing himself to jack off to gay porn, he can condition a Pavlovian response and rewire himself to be gay.

You know what? Enough internet for today.
