@ Geryon:

using money to enhance your lifestyle is great, but if he doesn't have any idea on what to buy, (And is thusly asking us) then he should save it. If he KNEW what to spend it on, then by all means, he should buy it. But he doesn't know, so he should probably save it. (IMO)
Quote: "Rainy days suck for driving. The amount of suck is directly proportional to how badly it's raining. Unless you're assuming there's a place within walking distance where he could spend money, in which case my driving logic is shot."
I'm guessing that was sarcasm, although its hard to tell from text.
You know perfectly well that I meant "rainy day" as in "an emergency". Have you honestly never heard that expression used before? It means to put the money away, and save it for when you really need it.
@ Agent Dink: As Geryon said, no, I am not a parent. Although I do like to consider myself a little wiser than average. (By wise, I mean common sense. Not book knowledge, although I'm not exactly lacking there, either.)
@ Geryon's second post:
Although I do disagree with my mom on many things, Its not as bad as you made it sound. (again, the effects of text instead of a voice.) And I don't think you do so much better with your mom. Thats not to say you do badly, just not A LOT better than me. I get along with my mother much better than I used to, ever since I learned to accept that she thinks she right just because she's my mother. (Honestly, she still uses the "Because I said so." reasoning. That may work on an 8 year old. Not on an adult though.)
Quote: "wouldn't call it this, either. For example, while playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl, rather than admit that he can and does make mistakes, he's happier to believe that the game cheated him somehow. No matter how much I try to explain what happened (with the only restrictions on my argument being the game mechanics (both possible and known) and the end result of what happened), he and I get into rather large arguments pretty regularly. My argument attempts to explain how we got to where we are (the real end result) in terms of what we know of the game, and his argument consists of what moves he wished to make and what he believed the end-result would be from that (which is not always accurate, even given the moves he wanted to make). Again, basic stuff that he seems to have a lot of trouble with."
Now that is just an outright lie. I
DO admit that I can and do make mistakes. I am only human, and am therefore imperfect. I have not claimed that a game "Cheated" in years. Yes, you TRY to explain what happened, but your explanation usually makes no sense. In fact, your argument usually doesn't take the actual events of the game into account. For example: If you had just jumped up used a down smash on me, and I flew off way too fast for the amount of damage I had, you might say that you had side smashed me from the ground. (This is just an example. Things similar to this DO happen often though.) It's like you are watching a different screen than me sometimes.
MY argument takes into account what I know about the game, what I instructed the character to do with my controller, and what the character(s) did.
You have actually said, on more than one occasion,, and I quote:
Quote: "Dude?! WTF?! you don't beat me! It just doesn't happen! you are not supposed to beat me."
Those were your exact words one day when I beat you.
I am NOT trying to flame you, just stating my counter argument.I am not angry about anything, nor am I offended by your post. Just throwing that out there, since it is hard to tell emotion from text.
Quote: "I think Omega's either being contradictory for the sake of being contradictory (just saying "save it" when everyone else is saying to buy something) or he's throwing out something that's just another idea, no matter how seriously it may or may not be considered."
I am throwing out the idea of "save it" because it is the most logical and intelligent thing to do. While most people said "Give it to me! lol." I actually gave helpful advice. (No offense to those who said "Give it to me")
