Man, it's not like when you ignite a stove, there's the fire right away....gosh... it takes time....just take it easy and don't rush


Man is a lonely flame in the night... he warms nobody, and nobody warms him. His fuel is his own desire. The stars blink at him, unmoved and largely uninvolved. What's the son of man complaining about now? These life forms and their unfulfilled desires... I'm sure glad I'm not a warm heart on a cold orb, said Vega to Orion.
I think Vega should hurry up over Deneb to meet with Altair~

Is there a meaningful difference between complaining and informing people that they aren't saying useful things?


Shoku! My god, my genius!!

This thread has been a hoot. An absolute masterpiece. The power of meaningless contrarianism vs the befuddled well-meaning of the people.

Eight wasted pages of meaninless mental garbage and various types of descriptions of the participants' frustration.

No human in his right mind I predict is capable of reading through every word of this thread.**

This I have seen in the eighties. A buddy of mine showed up with a computer program written for a 386, and it imitated a psychiatrist. No matter what you typed in -- complaints, expletives, pleading, hallucinations, a transcription of words of the voices the user heard, humour or adoration, as if said to a shrink in his office, the computer replied to all as if it had been a stereotypical shrink.

You're similar. I am seriously considering the theory that you're not a human, after all, but a computer progam that its creator is beta-testing to see if it passes the Turing test.

Good luck. I mean, to your programmer, to your creator, to your Maker.

** Hence I am afraid you failed the Turing test.

You don't think it's humanly possible to deal with eight pages? How ever could anyone here ever get through a children's book?

Alright, I think I've got it. People think I'm just trying to start arguments because I've been too direct when what I really need to do is be extremely feminine.
I'v e forgotten how to do that and learning isn't something people here are tolerant of so I don't think I'm compatible with these forums.

Take a look at yourselves and ask if this is something to be proud of. Endlessly ignoring requests and instructions and then belittling someone else for it. If I had a better opinion of automated talker programs I'd say the lot of this had made it's mistake in reminding me of the Turing test despite it's already demonstratedly shallow ability to parse text.


So screw you all for your childlike reading levels and screw you for for being impatient. I haven't gained enough from this for it to have been worth being so relentlessly insulted on the same descriptionless bounds for long.

Here's a test: what about my face makes me look young? Describe that in a way that couldn't be applied to anyone; in a way that shows you are able to actually tell what I look like from the pictures I've given. If you can't do that don't say anything, I don't want to hear it.

*if I'm right about what people mean by rude this post will have been ruder as I was so direct as to give an ultimatum. I don't think anyone is going to pass the simple test I just laid out so finally understanding that won't be very useful for me but it would be a personal victory.

I really am just trying to help because I think you're alot like who I was before. Don't take it as an insult because remember I'm also describing my former self. You're coming across to most people on here as very rebellous, disagreeable and stubborn. I can see it from their perspective, I mean to me nothing you've said bothers me because like I said you're like I was. But I also realize you have to handle people delicately. I had trouble with that before, really considering other people's feelings when I'm dealing with them. But if you don't they're not going to want to deal with you. I mean you can't really expect someone to make you feel good about yourself if you don't make them feel good about themselves.

Some people think of themselves as nice people and I'm sure you think that about yourself but are you really? Are you really nice to people and forgiving even if it seems like they've stepped on your toes? (doesn't mean you have to let them run over you, but there's some things you have to just let go even if you want to blow up) Are you sympathetic to other people's problems? Do you apologize, say thank you, ask people how their days been? It's those little things bro that count. I used to really struggle with it myself, I didn't like small talk. But small talk is what gets people on your side. Especially women. Life is all about the small things, the details. Be good to people, I mean really be good to them and then they'll see you as a good person and be good to you. It's just the way the world works.

It's something to where being rebellous and stubborn works great when you're younger like a teen, but doesn't get you very far as an adult.

Shoku, not everyone has been mean to you. Seriously, you're acting like you're five "They made me do it!" whoa is not a valid reason to tell people to **** off or call us robots for our opinions. That IS rude.

You need to take a step back and do some figuring for yourself. If the advice given in this thread doesn't work for you, or you've gleaned nothing from it, then clearly it isn't going to work. You can't keep beating your head against a brick wall and expect the wall to break.

At the same time, as Justin mentioned: "you can catch more flies with honey". Try it out, it might work.

If you ask for honest feedback, then expect it.

Attacking/insulting is not allowed.

I am closing this topic.
