This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Thanks everyone! I decided to go with the American Cancer Society, a local animal shelter and some historical societies/museums that I interned with.

We can talk about the original SW battlefront 2, my favorite game.

I kinda liked Battlefront 1 because of the dogfighting mode. I will never not pass up a moment to demonstrate tie fighter superiority.

i'd cry too.

not because of you. but because of having more school. to be honest i don't know what an open class is, or what exactly is happening in your story. but i remember being in school and not liking it, more school would always make me sad.

Y’all should watch Southern Comfort and see Powers Boothe and Fred Ward and Keith Carradine as soldiers on an exercise gone wrong trying to fight their way out of a Louisiana bayou filled with murderous Cajuns.

I have seen this and it is sick as gently caress. It's a Big Old Viet Nam Allegory imo.

Also Apocalypse now Directors cut I watched as a first date which I want to advice everyone is a Bad Move. But a Good Movie.

*nods slowly* I concur. It's the second-best Vietnam allegory film after Aliens.

The Apocalypse Now Final Cut that came out this year is probably the best cut now. It keeps all of the good stuff Redux adds but gets rid of the worst stuff Redux adds.

I'm really struggling here guys.

Basically I was/am really self conscious about how expensive my laptop is gonna be. My parents have made me feel like money is scarce enough that it's in my head (even though I'd be looking for the machine to last me a long time and obviously I'd be using it a fuckton). I know that we're not that hard up for money for like a lot lot of reasons I won't get into because I think it's inappropriate and tacky but just trust me.

I just feel awful because I feel like I don't deserve it and like I'm imposing. It makes me feel like a piece of poo poo who is draining on them even though logically I know I'm not. I don't like it.

To clarify my parents need to pay for it because I'm not legally allowed to have that much money in assets in my bank account. America gently caress yeah. But I pay rent every month to help my parents out since I live at home in case anyone forgot my situation there.

I can't speak to your situation and I don't have magic words that will change your feelings I wish I could. I wish nothing more than I could make anyone here who's having a bad day better. All I can speak on is my attitude towards money.

Most times I'm pretty frugal with treat your selves moments every once in a while. But when it comes to stuff that I need like house repair, or items I use often such as beds, televisions or computers I say that you can't take it with you. If buying it won't put me in the hole and I can recover from it, why not? It's an investment. And one day I'll be dead and all my stuff will decay with me and the earth will die and the sun will explode. So you know what, for these scant few years I have in this cosmos - gently caress yeah I'm going to buy stuff. All we have is feelings - and it's not bad to enjoy enjoyment.

You could try to explain to them but from what I have heard parents just wouldn't understand.

You are a great poster. :)

But credit to both mom and dad. They treated this really well. I sent them a link to the config I was looking at with quote and Dad actually said I should double the memory I put in the machine. And apparently he came out and said to my mom, "It'll come out to $[x] and that's fine", and when I told Mom I felt awful she goes "What, with the contributions you make to this house?"

IDK where the gently caress that is most of the time but hey. They are being shockingly supportive on this one. :unsmith:

A lady and I broke up after dating for a long while like two years ago and I was all "I been in relationships forever I'm gonna be single for a while" and then I haven't really had anything other than a few dates since and I'm super happy all the time so that's the story of how I became a volcel.

this glorious monument

Speaking of being burdens.
During my most recent SSI Financial Review the reviewer asks me 'why arn't you on your mom's social security, you'd likely get more money that way'. First, I've had HOW many of these calls and somebody is just mentioning it now? Second, ok I'll try to do that. Can't hurt.
Today I just got a big pile of paperwork from Social Security. It's like the stuff I filled out nearly 15 years ago. Now I'm worried and confused that it's going to be like applying from scratch. And if that's the case, no loving way. They denied me initially, I had to go to a loving hearing and I got lucky that the consulting doctor on the panel was sympathetic. I am NOT going through that poo poo again. So I'm going to the social security office tomorrow and try to make sense out of this.
So maybe it can hurt.

The money isn't the issue, it's my brain. That said I'm a mess about something else. Now if I'm gonna get a custom build of the model I want, because of the Intel processor shortage, I could apparently be waiting until MARCH. I think there's a prepared one ready to ship with all the specs I want, but there's just something about the idea of getting a machine built for me that just feels so much better. But the security death of W7 is January 14, and it was one thing when I thought I might be waiting an extra couple weeks, but a month+ has me concerned. How much fire would I be playing with waiting it out?
