Why are many of you rude and mean to this poster?
It appears that this has been explained to you. Perhaps you understand now. He is a loser and he's proud of being a loser. He parades his loserness in front of us at regular intervals. Just when we think he's finally hit rock-bottom, he shows up with some absolutely preposterous new problem that defies belief. Were you here when he was asking about how he should go about liquidating all his assets, defaulting on his car loan, and using the proceeds to make his way to Hawaii, where he'd be able to drop out? He talks as though he actually believes that life in Hawaii is cheap! He must have found a 1952 edition of Frommer's tourist guide and thinks you can live in a cave on the beach on Kauai and cut down coconuts for food!
He has sponged off of everyone he knows and been kicked out of their homes. He had a decent job and blew it off for reasons never made quite clear. He has some computer skills but he can't seem to get a job where he'd be paid for them. He refuses to enroll in a university even though the one thing he appears to have is some basic raw untamed intelligence.
What do your unkind personal remarks to darksidZz and other posters on this forum say about yourselves?
That everyone has their limits for tolerating people who refuse to help themselves but just want to complain about how bad their lives are.
I read and research a great number of topics that I do not practice in life, purely from curiosity. An ancient civilization like the Chinese have long held an interest in Astrology and even in the U.S. an estimated 25% of the population responded as having a belief in Astrology.
A much larger percentage of the U.S. population believe in the Abrahamic religions but that doesn't stop them from being complete bullshit.
. . . . I expect that a hundred years from now, our best science is likewise going to have people in stitches when they examine our current understanding and where it is lacking.
What makes you say that? We don't feel that way about the science of 100 years ago. Both the chemistry and physics of 1911 were on the right track. Astronomy has been on the right track since Galileo. The biology of the early 20th century was sufficiently advanced that it pissed off the Religious Redneck Retards and they prosecuted people for teaching evolution.
The 19th century was the Century of Chemistry, the 20th was the Century of Physics, and the 21st is widely expected to be the Century of Biology.
So.....if I understand the above correctly, once we run out of patience with someone, it is acceptable to act like social boors?
Perhaps not acceptable, but inevitable. Everyone's patience has limits. This particular website has many nice characteristics, but social graces are not one of them.
I fail to see what benefit can accrue from that approach.
Darxy keeps coming back and posting his ridiculous "questions," knowing that there are no answers to them. Even if there were, we know that he would continue to never take anyone's advice so long as it requires him to actually expend some effort.
Clearly he gets some kind of perverse enjoyment out of being our jester. Like a child who acts stupid just to get attention.
I've actually made the observation that DarksidZz really needs to learn to formulate his own plans and act on them.
Yeah, pretty much everybody here has made the same observation.
And that we ought to encourage him in that.
Everybody knows that too. Most of us indeed have encouraged him. It's pointless. He never does it. He goes away for a few weeks, ignores the advice, and comes back with a new set of problems. I've met people like him in real life. They don't want to be successful because they're afraid of the responsibility that comes with success. It's so much easier to be a failure and complain about it--at least it apparently is for them. Most of us would rather be dead.
But this behavior of hers is kind of...um,emotionally yo-yo-ey, borderline personality disorder-y type behavior...meaning unless she's aware and working hard on getting better?
Meaning this is the only kind of person that he has any chance of establishing a relationship with. People who are merely five sigmas away from normal run the other way when they see him coming. If you think we treat him badly in the silicon world, life is much harder for him in the carbon world.
People like Anti-flag and Cosmic treat you like $h!t for being fat, then wonder why you hate yourself.
Fat people love folks like me who don't care about their weight. But then when they lose weight they get really mad at us for not noticing that they've lost it. Ya can't win.
