Ah yes, someone had to eventually remind me why people hate DN, to the point where even someone as tolerant as I had to concede that it was STUPID.
Case and point: lalit, this fellow who has pretty high ratings in both singles and matches, claims that he can Maxx "C" to Machina Fortress. I tried to reason with him, giving him an explanation on why it is inherent. He calls for admin. During this time I kept trying to get through to him, linking him stuff, but he insists on waiting for admin. This goes on for too long, and when I confront him about how futile he is, he lets me know that the remaining admin is a "noob" and by that I assume he implies that he is hoping to get the wrong ruling.
Admin finally shows up (not his fault), and tells him Fortess's Summon is Inherent. Opponent doesn't accept and tries to ask for an explanation. Admin and I tell him. He still doesn't believe either of us. He goes on to say "show proof that it's inherent". Admin retorts that he already did his part, and if the opponent really thinks otherwise, HE should be the one coming up with proof that Fortress isn't inherent. The opponent finally relents and we play on. I had a rocky hand to begin with, but I manage to beat him out. He then goes to say "if you PM me I will say you're harassing me".
Wow. Such salt. Much scrubbiness. Very painful and long.
tl;dr - That's enough DN for tonight, even if I liked playing my new Roid build.

They do not accept if they know they will lose out.

Okay, I'm giving myself a refresher course in preparation for going back to school and I realized something. I suck a algebra. What the f**k!? I taught myself trig and still remember how to do it, but I still have problems getting word problems. Everything else I'm able to get, but ask me how old Timmy is when he's 3 times older than he was 6 years ago and I'm lost.

The answer to that question is 9.
Anyways...
One of my biggest pet peeves is indifference. Lately, I've been trying to get interest going in numerous hobbies of mine among acquaintances and such, and it seems every time I get through to them, I'm flat out ignored or not even given a response worth consideration. You could just say no, not say yes and treat me like a goddamn inanimate object. Worst thing is, they don't even do it on purpose. It's ignorant indifference. It's gotten to the point of why even bother. Not going in to detail, just needed to fucking say it before I lost my mind.

Here. He is 3 times older NOW than he was 6 years ago. How old is he right now? Here is how I go about doing it, I'm sure someone else can give the more "correct" way to do it. But plugging in numbers works well for me. Everyone's brain works a different way! Pick a random number. 12? Sounds good. Let's plug that in, take away 6 to see how old he was 6 years ago, and we get 6. Let's multiply that times three to see if it fits the other half of the problem. 6x3=6,12,18. Numbers don't match up, 12 is too high a starting number. Since we are multiplying times three, and subtracting 6 for both of the options here, let's try another multiple of 3. Say, 9. If we subtract 6 from 9 we get 3. If we multiply 3 times 3 we get 9. Oh hey, that works for both halves of our problem! Does that make any sense? Or am I jabbering? I've never been a very good explainer. Also, I have a rant. People who use THREATS to get what they want, should be shot. It's dumb, it's arrogant, it's rude, and it's stupid. If any person in a position of leaderships decides to use threats to get what they want from their own people/member base/friends they deserve to have a chance to remedy that situation. If they continue to threaten, then they deserve to LOSE their position of leadership. Threatening is NOT how you lead. Anyone who leads by threatening, this is what I have to say to you.

I want to play league of legends, but at the moment given my situation it is impossible. The internet crashes on me occasionally. The mouse I am using moves on its own even when nothing is moving it. I miss playing the game with my friends. It has been at least 2 months....-_-

One person was such a sore loser he started calling the admin, cycling it on and off until he thinks I would drop. I waited on the button until he was going to cycle it and pressed it before he could again. eventually he quit before the mod came.

Here's a way to put that algebra problem into an equation: Current age is 3 times 6 years ago. That means current age is 6 years more than that younger age => x + 6 And that current age is 3x x + 6 = 3x Collect like terms and solve for x x + 6 - x = 3x - x 6 = 2x x = 3 But we aren't asked for the younger age, we're looking for the current age, which is 3 times x. Current age = 9

I have an easier method. Hey, how f**king old are you, Timmy?

Really set off by Bieber's lastest little stunt. IMO that little shits 15 minutes of fame was up 00:14:59 into his career. He is a no talent hack that is only in this business for the attention and the money. If he had any level of talent, he would have the one award that means anything in the music industry: A Grammy.
To the point of the matter: Bieber is now a clear cut racisit. Racisim is a fucking poison. It has no place in modern society, and anyone who would spread that type of poison (even if they think they are doing it "comedically" has absolutely no right to hold any sort of position of power or fame. It only breeds ill feelings and resentment which could boil over into rage and violence.
Bieber has crossed a line and consequences must follow. No more ignoring the situation hoping it will go away. He has become far more than a stain to the music industry, a stain on the US, he has now become a stain on humanity and needs to be dealt with as such.
I know there was a petition to get him deported from the US recently sent to The White House. After this stunt, I am thinking the White House may have to reevaluate their stance on the issue. Fuck deportation from the US, how about deportation from the planet.
