Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Also, if you think we're arguing with you then you're mistaken. No one here is, we're just talking.

I don't think anyone here is attacking you, either...if anything, people are trying to be supportive and understanding no? I think you just might be a bit emotionally worked-up over this all.

Yep, I agree what goes on there is repulsive, sickening, and offencive. But those who are not ill do not need a doctor do they?

RT = support and love, P&R = headaches and drama! Okay maybe I shouldn't make labels :<

Lets back up a bit before this gets out of hand.

I, nor anyone else, said that you could not post your thoughts in this thread. Some of us did offer suggestions towards your thoughts since you appeared to be distressed by what happened to you in another thread.

Other than that, I'll leave the discussion alone as I have a feeling I'll only make it worse if I try to move it anywhere else.

Yes the attacking I keep talking about is in reference to other threads, hence why I am posting here, not there...

Where's Seha with a sex joke to lighten the mood when you need her?!

*abandons thread*

I don't have any jokes

For those who saw The Lego Movie... :p

prolly doesn't help I have an absessed tooth that feels like death

Best song in the movie lmao

decided to ditch the thing I had on my desk that set my monitor higher (just a metal stand thing... thought it would be beneficial)

no regerts, my neck actually hasn't been giving me issues as long as I tilt it a bit up so I can just look at it better.

This fits so damn perfectly with Atma hunting in FFXIV.

Can I block my account from searches? Trolls tryin to eat me....

My tooth/jaw/ear/face hurts, someone post something fun plz :/

there ya go.

So I made a deal with my little brother that if he could finish three of my favorite games of all time, I would build him a new PC.
He already jumped on the opportunity and is nearly finished with the first game already only a few weeks after the proposition, and he has until June to finish. However, to buy more time and to help solidify his sake of earning such a prize, I'm going to make a (multiple choice) test that requires him to do some research and studying over the months over the proper curriculum.

Maybe Mag can help me bring out my inner teacher and make subjects like transistors, frequencies, cores, TDP, double-data-rate, data caching, serial advanced technology attachment, and peripheral component interconnect in more of a ELI5 fashion so it's not painfully sadistic for an eleven year old.

hmmm maybe I'll back read RT before bed *looks back one page*

Oh look, there's a thread for that.

As an EE, even I find it somewhat painful. Learning about the concepts and and mechanisms behind semiconductors and transistors was far more rewarding than the different specs for processors/boards/peripherals.

Yeah, I hope to present the fundamentals bits of knowledge within the basic parts of a functioning PC so he at least has an understanding of what he is working with and what he can do with it later without having to call me up and bug me every time he installs something stupid.

Definitely keeping things as simple and fundamental as possible so he won't have to groan going over and remembering chipset standards and BS like that.

Kids, especially 11 year olds, like games, as cliché as that might sound. All you have to do is make it fun and interesting for him, and he'll be more engaged. I wish I could tell you how to do that, but that's something I'm struggling with, right now. I'm teaching Hamlet, and they all whine about the same thing, "It's boring! I don't see why we should be reading Hamlet!" I'm doing everything to make it fun that I can, but I can't help but remind myself that I'm not exactly a 15 year old, anymore.

I dunno, I guess I'm not much help. Maybe I'm a little salty over the fact that I can't get my students to buy-in to me or my subject, right now. All's I'm saying is, try to make a game out of it. Like, see how fast he can connect the what'sit to the whoseamajigger and time it, or something along those lines. Make it competitive and fun.

924 *heavy breathing*

I have no idea what happened here.

EDIT: Oh the potato ***.

Oh and after backreading, excuse me while I roll my eyes at the behaviour of certain people.

Well, unfortunately studying for this "test" and the test in of itself by no means will ever objectively come down to being fun. It's simply a hurdle he has to pass to receive his reward. I'd like to think that a personally built PC would be enough incentive, but I'll try and keep incentives as a key component to motivate his comprehensive studying and overall "test score" to determine whether or not he can respect what he's earning.
