Laguna is the best FF character in history.

But Zell's constant air boxing actually playing a key factor in a dungeon is the kind of attention to detail that Final Fantasy games are lacking nowadays.

My daughter was literally doing this today. I took her off the chair, sat her in the corner and told her it was dangerous. She didn't do it again.

I feel this is the disconnect. Despite popular belief, kid's personalities cannot be molded. Some kids will listen when told things. But don't get too full of yourself by thinking it was because of your "expert parenting" skills.

Other kids are legitimately bad. Some will NOT simply stop if you reason.

Anecdotal evidence is worthless on both sides. If simply doing time outs or taking away privileges worked, spanking wouldn't be needed. Very rarely do parents use spanking as a first resort.

Nor is blind spanking the only way to go about it, as TC is trying to explain.

People can't aspire to do things without greed.

People won't have the fortitude to innovate or improve without pride.

People won't be able to procreate without lust.

People won't be spurred to build upon another's ideas or possessions without envy.

People won't have self worth or self-preservation without wrath.

People won't grow strong or become bigger without gluttony.

Greed is not ambition
Pride is not self-confidence
Lust is not love or passion.
Envy is not healthy competitiveness
Wrath is not indignation
Gluttony doesn't mean eating well.
Sloth is awful, yes.

The reason you are not seeing the evil in them, is because you are seeing them through a warped perspective.
When you are greedy, you trying to get what you want at the cost of other people, and that is not ok.
When you are proud, you cannot recognize your own flaws and better yourself.
When you lust, you can betray the ones you love, and you are using people of the opposite sex as a means to an end, failing to see their true value.
When you envy, you are failing to be grateful for the things you have.
When you are wrathful, you will not be able to forgive, which will shroud your heart in darkness and end up hurting you, even more than if you were to just let it go. Why would you hold on to a thorny rose, just because you feel that you have the right to hold it? It is good to learn that people can do bad things, and be prepared for that, but unforgiveness will make you bitter, and make you unable to see the good in others.
Now gluttony will just make you unhealthy, and it is kind of a bottomless pit, imo, you just keeping eating to satisfy other desires.

I feel like you're adding definitions to these words. Your definition of greedy is off, for example. Greed is a selfish want, yes. But not necessarily at the cost of others. Not to mention the threshold for "selfish" is subject.

Having pride is not arrogance. Pride is about acknowledging who and what you are and being utterly satisfied with what you bring. You can have pride in others too, btw.

Your lust is an utterly made up implication. It's sexual desire. Even if you love someone, you're going to eventually lust for them.

Another unfounded implication for envy. I can be grateful for friends I have, and still envy the greater quantity of friends others have.

Forgiveness is for your self, so wrath preventing forgiveness of others isn't bad. It's smart to not always ttry to forgive. Like pain, wrath ensures we do not injure ourselves further.

If you eat only when you're hungry, some people will have a hard time getting bigger. Gluttony says nothing about the healthiness of food. It's indulgence in food. Nothing more.

Call it a different perspective, but I think you're reaching with some of these.

I live my life by them tbh.

People won't be spurred to build upon another's ideas or possessions without envy.

The only one that's kinda bad is sloth.

But I'm not too religious. How exactly are this things bad? The virtues teach you good sportsmanship maybe, but the sins are what advance society.

All that bs and you never even banged her, good god no wonder she has been lazy, she doesnt have to do jack shit for you to pay for expensive shit she wants. Congrats on being her bitch btw without even getting something out of it, you have taught her how to sucker a guy in and get him to pay for most of her stuff.

You have a lot to learn especially how to not waste money and not letting people use you to do the heavy financial lifting. I hope you dont make this kind of stupid mistake in the future.

I got things out of this. Whether you value it or not.

I definitely agree on my miscalculation on what exactly is helping her. I think she might be MORE dependent than before.

Why the fuck did you help fund for her car ?, what made you think paying for her leased furnature was a good idea ?, why move in with a person that is unreliable ??

Did you atleast get to bang her a few times or is she not good looking/too crazy ?

Sounds like you made a big mistake having her as a room mate.

Because we were sharing my one car, which was infinitely more inconvenient. I needed her to get her own, so I could do my own thing. It was a short term investment so that I'd financially be more free later. But she apparently still struggles with bills. I only helped with one payment for the furniture and she's going to pay me back. I didn't anticipate her being as useless as she is.

She's alright. Not really my type. Just a platonic friend.

I did. But I learned a lot of things. Important stuff like cooking and dealing with stubborn people and patience. Good development for me. But I no longer need to grow. I'm fine. Thus I'm ending things once my taxes roll in.

I want to break this lease. Is it possible to just go to the lease office and try it without the roommate? Or do we both need to be there?

I imagine there's some sort of buy out I'd need. But for people who have broken leases, how did that go?

Are you really saying you don't know the requirements for breaking your lease? Didn't you read it at all before you signed it? -_-

I've read the lease papers, but there's no mention of how to break it. Just what happens if you don't pay. I was gonna just ask after work tomorrow, but is it not a universal system?

you're both on the lease?

Unfortunately.

REMercsChamp posted...

What's the full story here

Foster child. Hated foster life. We moved out together. Her credit nonexistent. My credit was phenomenal. I literally helped establish the apartment, phone plan, and helped fund her getting a car.

Because she's a shit human, she's completely self-centered. We agreed she pays utility and we split rent 70/30 me/her. Also 50/50 on phone. I payed full wifi/cable. Come December, she starts make piss poor financial decisions. I'm covering the full phone bill. Helping her get AAA when her tire blew. Helping her pay her stupid ass furniture bill (who leases furniture??? Fucking stupid).

But I don't have to waste money doing this. She's the one with no where to go. I bring up minor concerns and she goes off. She's a nutcase.

Fucking popping pills when we get into an argument. Every single time she starts a convo, it's negative. She's a mood killer.

I don't want to deal with this. I'll be a good Millennial and move back in with mom. Fuck. Sucks cause we were close, but shit.

I don't need credit for anything any time soon. I'm breaking this. No matter what. I just want to know how it went for others.

Somehow not surprised since out of all the places I've lived, Indiana drivers think they can do whatever the fuck they want as soon as they hop in a car

I'm going to need you to shut the fuck up.

People shouldn't have to pay money because they wore a seatbelt a certain way. School buses have seat belts that only go around the waist. Some cars have waist seatbelts for middle seats. I can't believe people are this anal about this.

I'm over it, but I'm still pissed at any clockhead that wants to defend this nonsense. I better see every car with a baby's car seat facing forward get pulled over now. For their safety!

How the hell do you wear it that way? You sit down, clip it properly, then lean forwards to put the strap behind your back? And then when you want to take it off, get stuck in it and wiggle around to pass it back to the front so you can take it off?

I actually just simulated, and I put it under my arm actually, not behind my back, sorry.

So it's like those child seatbelts that only go across the waist.

I still don't think I should get fined for this. I got a warning when I got pulled over for speeding, something legit dangerous, but fined for a seatbelt. Makes no sense.

Why weren't you wearing it properly? The cop saw what he thought is a driver not wearing a seat belt, how is he supposed to know you weren't wearing it correctly? Now you've wasted his time so of course you're still getting hit with a citation.

Ever since I was a kid, I've worn it this way. Even during my drivers test. I was never told any different.

His Rick Grimes ass gave me 25 dollar citation for this stupid shit. Excuse the fuck outta me.

What is wrong with being polite?

What's polite about it?

The fact that you're willing to give the energy and acknowledgement to anyone and everyone?

So you think if someone ask you how you are doing and you ignore it then you're being a good person? You're prolly really bad at socializing aren't you?

Don't know who the fuck you're talking to with your second paragraph, so I'll just ignore it.

And saying "how are you" is not a genuine attempt to acknowledge people 98% of the time. As been said in this topic, if you don't say a synonym of "fine", the asker gets confused. The question is to glib.

It's to the point where it's a substitute for "Hi" at this point. It's not a question anymore.

It's not polite, it's lazy. It just makes people who aren't feeling well feel uncomfortable. Kinda like those people who hold doors open for people too far away, so now the other person feels obligated to speed up.

It's a robotic gesture that the user rarely actually puts genuine thought into.

Kinda curious what would happen if this were somehow shown to be possible.

Like humanity was shown that all disease could be eliminated with certainty. And equally shown that the only way to achieve it was for every human adult in a first-world country who was alive exactly 1 year from today would have had to pay $1000 by that date. So we'd all have a single year to get every living adult $1000 and get them to the payment location.

Would everyone start giving their money to the poor people to get them to pay it? Or would people start forming gangs and go out to kill anybody who hadn't paid yet? Or would the world just go "welp, that sucks. I guess we're just gonna have to deal with diseases like we always have"?

Homework is very important to help the child become responsible and a hard worker. People who tend to not do their homework end up working on retail or on hospitality.

You're joking. Kids simply cheat together to complete it, inflating their grade and as a result, their opportunities. Or they simply just won't do it.

There's no correlation between kids who do homework, and what jobs they end up with. I'd say the ones who don't do homework are more efficient, because they rightfully see it as a waste of time.

From personal experience, "nice guys" are phenomenal at making strong PLATONIC relationships. If besties were currency, they'd be rich.

So being boring or uninteresting isn't what's the issue.

They typically lack that next level though. Usually from flirtatious behavior. Or giving a sexual spark.

I believe Darmik best describes it.
