    JoaoPRSousa reacted to antoainb for a blog entry, Why the concept of "Zero fucks given" is false.   
    You hear it a lot, especially in threads related to Apple news and things associated with non-techies, but is it true? Well, you can pretty much exclude someone that posts a reply to a topic saying "I give 0 fucks" from the group "Gives 0 fucks" since that person clearly gave enough fucks to actually post a reply. Then there are the ones that only read the thread but don't post a reply, those aren't included in the group either, they gave enough fucks to spend their time reading the thread. And finally there are the ones that only read the topic's title, those also aren't in the group, since they gave enough fucks to read the title, even if just partially. So who is included in this group? The ignorants, only people that have no idea about something can give zero fucks about it.

    JoaoPRSousa reacted to antoainb for a blog entry, Y U LEAVE? Q-Q   
    First it was TheNinjaNextDor, then Askew, then Vitalius, then helping and now terrytek and SAV1OUR. It saddens me to see people leave.
    Their reasons are good, Askew says he has lost some things in life because he was too distracted with LTT, SAV1OUR says he doesn't find the forum as enjoyable anymore without some of the members that left and he also says he needs to focus on school and exams that he has coming up, Vitalius also said that he want's something and stuff that's in the way (such as this forum) needs to go, helping also says he want's to find something better to do with his time and he also states that in his opinion he doesn't find much interesting content anymore and finally terrytek says he needs to do something better with his life. The only one who didn't say anything was TheNinjaNextDor.
    I get it, you have better things to do and the forum is keeping you from doing that. The people that leave will be missed because they made this forum what it is today, a helpful and nice community. When I made my first post here I also posted it on different forums but the reaction to it here was much nicer and made me feel like I was already part of the community for a long time. This is such an amazing community and it pains me to see very good members leave.
    Hopefully it doesn't go straight down-hill from here and we continue to be the best forum around (at least in my opinion we are).

    JoaoPRSousa reacted to antoainb for a blog entry, The Pains of Being a Good Student   
    Hello!
    Ok, I'm a good student, I have good grades (>90% normally), behave well, etc. I'm the best student of my class, and that leads some of my classmates/teacher having wrong ideas about me.
    Yes, I'm a good student, but that doesn't mean that I'm freaking Wikipedia, ok? Please don't call me 20 times the day before a test, I'll help you, but when you start calling me 20 times along with other people it get's hard, I also have to study, remember that.
    If I'm a good student it doesn't mean that I only study, I have a life, ok teachers?
    Please understand that sometimes I won't want to talk during class, there is a reason why I get good grades, talking $*** isn't one of them.´~

    And those are only some examples. But that isn't the worst part, the worst part are all of the things that we go through with our parents/teachers and also the prizes some other kids get when they get grades far worse than ours.
    You do not understand why we get sad when I get less than 87%, I'll break it down. If we get 90%+ and then go to 87%, even if it might seem like a small difference it's like we failed a class. The teachers get disappointed, our parents get disappointed, it's like freaking hell. And then you see a kid that got a 70% and get's 5 freaking games (true story).
    While it's true being a good student can be very good it can also be very stressful. Just today I was super stressed because I was getting the results for a Math test and I wasn't so sure what I'd get, I ended up getting the best grade of the class, did I get anything? No, but I don't really care.

    P.S.: Pls no "hi" comments this time, ok?
