So I Just Finished High School...
...I did the last assignment in my basement in pitch darkness with Pentatonix blaring in my face.

What do I do now...

Enjoy the summer because in the fall if you go to college you become the lowest form of life, a freshman.

• I have a job.
• My high score is 4.3, and that was this semester, the one semester out of the eight that I really didn't try on anything or give a shit about a single course.
• I'm going to college in Illinois. I don't know what the laws are, all I know is that whoever makes them is going to be in jail someday.

If you only knew....in time you will learn....knowledge is power, but most of what you have learned in school has nothing to do with the real world. Most important lesson is to ask for more than you would take. Oh, you already did!

OK, here is my for real advice, and it is as serious as anything I have ever said on this website:

It is very important that you figure out what you want to do. Maybe you want influence and power, or to be rich, or the be the best at something, or to find an easy job that allows you focus on other stuff, or to have lots of kids, or to make the world better. It might be some combination of these things.

This sounds like a cliche or so obvious as to be useless, but it's not. People have no idea what they want in the world. I didn't; I let what I thought was the right ("right") choice and others influence me too much. That doesn't mean it's wrong to not know. But this is your best chance to figure it out and start down that path.
ghug (5068 D(B))

I'm more a worker than a customer on that front, and I only really do it on occasion for family/family friends, so I charge considerably less. I was just taking a cheap-shot at the rest of the country's low minimum wage from my seat of pretentiousness here in Seattle.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
05 Jun 14 UTC
Seriously? I'll go for $25 an hour if you want.

Crabapple, yeah, fuck off and be poor sounds good.

Ghug, you, taking cheap shots at the rest of the country, bragging about Seattle? NO!
ckroberts (3548 D)
05 Jun 14 UTC
See, here I am trying to be serious, and you guys are talking about handjobs or whatever.

Question: Is everyone on this site old, like celebrating 20+ years wedding anniversaries old, or young, like college-aged or below, except me?
ssorenn (0 DX)
05 Jun 14 UTC
I got you at 10, I could have offered 8 and you would have jumped. First lesson learned. Don't listen to Roberts, you have time, enjoy. You'll never get anything like your college years again. But to Roberts point, the time is finite and at some point you need to assess what's important.

The poop floor
As I was cleaning my litterbox, I discovered I sat in a pile of cat shit. I got it all over my shorts. When I checked if it did happen, I got it all over my hands. I've washed them 3 times and they still smell like cat shit.

Please advise.

french speaking replacement needed
as i will be absent for the next week and the last week of june and i'm only in one active game, i thought that i might as well look for a replacement player. it's a "speak french only" game though, so you'd have to understand at least a little bit of french.

Shootings and break-ins
So, my brother was there at the SPU school shooting today. Quite literally there... Scared the shit out of me when he wouldn't answer his freaking phone. Either way he's a-ok and that's what matters. My home also got broken into last night.... It's time to get a gun. For those that have one, suggestions?

In non winner-take-all game, can you solo with less than ALL the centers?
I want the solo win (and will have a majority of SCs soon). if I accept the draw once i get the majority, doesnt that mean i lose my solo? But do i really need to hold every single center to get the solo? How do you 'resign' ...so my opponents don't have to sit through the process that could take years?

So in general, I suppose most people here would say you can, and, possibly, should do anything within the rules to increase their chance at winning.

How about, for example, pretending to be terminal, though? Is that still fine?
