OK :P

I assume you're not here in Oregon if you get out in 30 mins, let's just say that.

GMT -4, Midwest. No guessing!

Yo, in the future (since I didn't get a notification) you can just remember "Storm from X-Men" with no vowels :P Copy-pasting the username just creates a hyperlink.

thanks. I probably won't remember that though :P

I know, I am going to wait, I'm just saying that 8 chicks in 4 months? Not beleivable.

I know a girl, who had about 30 boyfriends in 3 months, thats like a new one every couple days.  You can probably get an idea of what my school is like.   

 

I never said any of them were my girlfriends? Those are just the girls I've "been with." Either as in went on a date with to consider being in a relationship with or had intercoarse with. I've been in a relationship with 1 girl this year and back in November, me and my ex broke up after dating for nearly 2 years. So yeah. :/

I've been on a few dates.  Lame though, although one of my friends who is a crazy math, aircraft, science and ww2 nerd gets like 10 girls asking him out.  And I get none.  Though hes got abs, is like 6,5 and 15 years old.  

He also sounds like a posh British-man so...   Hes got all the bond features.  I've got all the hacker/computer nerd features.  Yay. 

 

 

 

 

(sorry @bear-in-the-air)  mistaken quote, cant seem to remove it though.

Im short, pale, and 17. I don't know why I get as many girls as I do. I have more girls asking me out then I can count. I assume it's my charm, one of my exes called me a womanizer. Idk I think it has a lot to do with confidence. I really don't get as many as it seems to NeatSquid. It's usually me getting to know a girl, it becomes more than friends and I realize it's not a person I want to spend my life with so I move on. Only met one girl I'd spend my life with and we broke up after 2 years. Only girl I can say I loved. I'm also a ww2 nerd. I guess girls like nazis.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

Another story, I asked my Design and modeling teacher what the speed of the CPU was. He said, I don't know, 64?

What's your username mean?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

I used to eat, sleep, and breathe Minecraft. I was good at redstone, so RedOwen1177. The numbers have no significance.

Not at all a ready player one reference? I thought, with the profile pic, maybe...

... Nope...

Hey, 120 lb buddies!! I'm also about 5'8"-ish in height, and I think I've been asked out about 4 times in my life.... Turned them all down tho... But I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of girls attracted to the both of us, and that we've never been told

A few weeks ago I went on a movie date with this girl. Before the movie started, she was excitingly telling me about how all the futuristic tech we see in movies is actually real and is hidden by the government and that's why sometimes we have technology like we see in obviously fiction movies. I looked at her in an actual panic and asked her if she was being serious. She indeed was.

We finished the movie. I dropped her off, ignored her kiss and invite to "come inside for coffee", and drove off. Needless to say there will not be a second date. Mfw I took a conspiracy theorist out on a date.

Nice near miss with dipping it in the crazy gene pool

Lucky bastard...

Mine too, but he admits that I know more than him.

my dad looks at anything not IBM and says its a sketchy brand. 

my ddad also looks at any weapon made in the past 40 yers and says its all made up for the movies and ''v-i-d-e-o-g-a-m-e-s'' (he has to say it slow for some un-holy reason) 

 

My mom called my desktop a "CPU box."

She has a long way to go....

 

 

My mom complains about my "power hungry" PC. It has an i3 4360 and no GPU - at idle using maybe 30 Watts. Under load, around 50.

Her iMac with a continuous PSU uses a steady 300W....

Yep, I'm still the problem. 

I always wonder why I see nothing on the screen when I wake the PC or boot it. No wonder - my mom turned the extension off! 

my mom is obsessed with those TV shows about 'elite hackers'' and stuff. 

usually i walk out of the kitchen with like nineteen bags of BBQ chips and see like, the ''hacker-squad'' ''leader'' talking to the generic dumb victim. 

''what we assume happened was, you downloaded malware''

''WHATSTHATOHGODMMY BISINESSISUPINFLAMESNOWISNTITOHGODPLEASESAVEMEYOUKNOWEVERYTHINGIMLOOKINGATMMYLINESWHILETHECAMERAZOOMSINPLEAAASSEE

''malware is a set of code, it usually disguises itself as authentic updates, or the like, ends up giving hackers complete and total control''

 

me: *stops walking to tell my mom how thats like fucking logic101*

mom: ''well i didnt know that!''

me: -__________________-

Dude, you get so many chicks. Starting to not beleive it...

I know, I am going to wait, I'm just saying that 8 chicks in 4 months? Not beleivable.

i guess you could say they scored with me. 

i dont give a rats ass what they watch in thier private time or how they want my body. x'D if they feed me and garuntee me a place to sleep alongside being romantically active im thier fucking slave. x'D 

 

you have no idea how many PMs ima get cause i said that.... 

 

I have 3 monitors, and I had to unplug one for a bit, I went yesterday with 2 and I felt like I was suffocating because I can't see everything I need to see at the same time :/

using two right now. 

1366x768 left 900x1600 portriat right. 

its..... livable... i would say its far from my ideal. 

(my ideal my guess would total somewhere around 10k in total pixels couting all screens)
