Actually, I'm kind of curious about the kid who seems to hate Microsoft but brags about an expensive msdn subscription. Seems a bit ironic. I wish I were a kid again.
For some reason I never noticed that. Gotta love how he still uses windows, too. Can't even be bothered with a Noob-oriented Distro like Ubuntu. Kind of a shame.
Yeah, we kids must be super ironic...
Super ironic? was this some attempt at hyperbole using an unnecessary superlative? I Super approve! I think.... No wait, I SUPER think. yeah that sounds so much super better.
Kinda unlike ya Adults getting expensive sport cars, then bragging about how awesome it is to your friends, rather than honestly saying half of it was a %$#! ripoff and you brought an expensive lemon!
A:) Only
Rich (or reasonably well off) Adults get expensive sports cars, and
B:) Expensive sports cars only become lemons after they are totaled by the rockstar. At which point, they buy another.
- you say stuff to look better, just to make yourself look good. Hide the bad away!
As michaewlewis said, it's called tact, and it's not used to "make us look good" it's used to that you don't come off as an abrasive, arrogant jerk who thinks they are above any form of social courtesy. People that say "I'm just telling you the truth" make be apprehensive because it makes me wonder <why> they think I would assume otherwise. The general assumption when somebody tells you something is that they are being truthful, unless your opinion or past events makes you believe otherwise. So somebody having to say "I'm just telling you the truth" completely out of nowhere seems to me like some sort of automatic and pre-emptive defense mechanism that developed from years of compulsive lying. Having to qualify truthful statements is like saying "Normally I lie, but this time I'm not!". Either that, or they really are lying and are trying a bit too hard to be convincing. Secondly, it assumes they know the truth. Stating an opinion as the truth is not "the truth" it's being a abrasive, arrogant jerk.
- kids just say the blunt truth no matter who it pisses off!
Kids lie all the time, and for their own benefit.
Kids also live off energy drinks
No they don't.
Energy drinks are completely useless, unless you only have then occasionally. I've found that while they give a temporary boost, they have a much larger drain on my wallet. (4 dollars for a can, *censored*). Also, My body got used to them to the point where I could have three cans of the stuff and still go right to sleep. I've found that a box of tea (or tin of coffee) is often equal in price or often less and lasts a good month or longer. See, that's the difference when you have to pay for your own luxuries.
So I took the common sense choice and moved away from the organ eroding chemical soups that are energy drinks.
That being said, tea that doesn't taste like it was crushed under the buttcheeks of a generously girthed swedish woman is not easy to find and is usually not cheap. You Certainly aren't going to find anything but butcheek specials at the grocery store. (Although there are some that certainly were created at the beginning of the day before they got too sweaty).
