Alright, I'll play. I think you take such strong, volatile stances here on the forums because you lack the assertiveness to be so confrontational in your personal life, or lack the assertiveness to get somewhere with your life. Last I checked, you haven't gone to college, and despite being obviously extremely intelligent, can't get a good job because of it. You rationalize it away by saying that you can't really teach software engineering or computer science in schools, and self-taught is better. You could probably get a job as a software engineer, but you don't because you refuse to think you'd like working in the industry, or don't think it's worth your time. So instead you try to make games to sell on Steam while working at Blockbuster and living at home with your mom. Maybe you're such a dick on the forums because you're projecting your frustrations with your own life and career on us. After all, the internet is an easy outlet for that.


I think you stick up for Kirby because you see a lot of the things I've criticized him for in yourself and you don't like them. In spite of attending a prestigious school you still don't "get" what you're learning and you're terrified of being a failure in your own life. You have poorly developed social skills which you blame on Aspergers even though you're really just too afraid to put yourself in a situation where you might have to relate to others. You also blame Aspergers for not having a girlfriend, even though you never talk to girls in class and the bulk of your free time is spent masturbating to pornography in your dorm room. You like to invent elaborate motivations and life histories for people you do not know and will never meet because they find you tedious.

You missed the point of my entire post. What you just said, right here, is exactly what I was trying to convey. It's exactly what you've done to Kirby.

But I'll go ahead and reply anyway, because I get the feeling you might actually believe what you just wrote. :carl:

I've "gotten" what I learn for a long time. The majority of my knowledge is from self education. I've had three jobs in my field, including short but successful freelancing. My field has a very low unemployment rate and I haven't had trouble finding jobs so far. Most of the interviews I go into end up as offers. If anything, I am too cavalier about it and could use more modesty.

You sure like accusing people of having aspergers. I'm a very social person -- to the point where prolonged lack of social contact leads to depression. For the past four years I've done something social nearly every weekend I've been at school (i.e. close to my friends). This past year I attended parties hosted by the president of an SE student organization that ranged from mild to really god damn huge and crazy. I've met a lot of people and made some really good friends.

This is true but not by choice. My major has a 20:1 male to female ratio. :suicide:

It's actually spent writing software, watching movies, a few TV shows, exercising, reading, getting plastered and otherwise having an awesome time with friends, or wasting time on the internet ( :ninja: )

Oh, and I live in an apartment. Not with my parents.

It's not even e-pen0r it's just personal attacks, which serve no purpose except to anger the other person into making a similarly childish response.

This thread got ****ing AWESOME when JonC started posting. Frankly, I'm impressed he had the patience to read the posts in this thread.

This:

is a pretty retarded thing to say, especially after taking what, Bio 201?

This is you: the fundamentals of math are, in fact, very simple <go on about addition, subtraction, multiplication, division>.

That's a bit too far, but basically, yes. Imagine trying to explain to a carpenter by trade with no math experience how you can use calculus to find the exact minimum amount of material you need to cut a set of shapes out of it. He'll give you a blank stare.

In this situation, I don't think Temperamental understands the basics of biochemistry. I was overzealous with "very simple," but my point is that biochemistry is fundamentally no different than "regular" chemistry. Biochemistry just happens to get ridiculously complicated, but the same laws apply. For example, if someone has taken a high school chemistry class, you can pretty easily explain to them (at least the basics of) how a calcium or sodium channel works. A decent biology course would give you enough information to understand how biology relates to chemistry -- that's all I was trying to say.

I'm a software engineering student in my last year. We're required to have four co-op jobs of at least 3 months long before graduating. And like I said, I've done my own work aside from those. You know, you should probably try to contribute to the discussion on your own instead of being Jon`C's toadie.

When I said that Kirby is only an atheist because he's rebelling against his father I was parroting something that he told me on IRC - the fact that it was a lie is secondary. You are just making **** up.

Furthermore, I can dislike or just loudly disagree with somebody without their comments having to "hit a nerve." You just aren't good at reading people and you definitely don't know me.

I do so I posted about it :v:

Originally posted by Jon`C:

Most of what I said was extrapolated from what you said in IRC or on the forums. Of course some of it was made up, that was partly my point. I wasn't there for whatever Kirby said, but going on his word, you made **** up too.

Originally posted by Jon`C:

Of course I don't know you, that was my point. You can't know someone just from their posts on a forum or IRC, yet you continually (in other threads) make jabs at Kirby's and others' personalities.

Originally posted by Jon`C:

Yeah, but your responses vary so widely in voracity. In particular, you're either really constructive and tactful or a complete ***. Sometimes you've been wildly helpful to me and sometimes you're a dick. Even if you can't read people or know people easily over the internet, compared to everyone else I've known online, you make the least sense.

Yeah, I'm sorry if I pissed you off Jon`C. I don't think I've ever attacked your personality, or called you worthless. Even if you had those criticisms, you're the one who decided to use them randomly in a thread about religion. I wonder how so many people on these forums are bitter.
