What are you going to do when you move out?

I'm having some issues lately. At the moment I'm REALLY unhappy with my life style as it is, work eats my weekends up my weekends, my friends have been unreliable lately (or insist I hang out at places that take 90 mins to drive to) and a person i'm in a relationship with, it's becoming stressful for us both living apart and While everyone's all "lets make out in front of everyone as we're couples" attitude lately, It's causing me mental breakdowns because we're far apart and only get to be together every 2-3 months :( basically, how do you cope with a very stressful life, wanting to be normal like everyone else, and keep pushing on to try and be together? I just feel upset lately because I can't have a normal life/relationship due to my jelousy of wanting acceptance of people. ...Maybe i'm just losing it and rambling on... Quit your job if it's taking up all your free time. If you desperately need money right now, get a job that will grant you more free time with less pay. Long distance relationships are a bad idea. You're sacrificing a lot for basically nothing in return. Unsurprisingly, my advice would be to end the relationship and learn how to be happy while you're single, but that would require you to choose uncertainty over unhappiness-- a choice which very few people make these days, unfortunately. I already gave you a detailed reply in the past on how to be happier w/o depending on external gratifications. Something tells me you were either too afraid or too lazy to give it a shot. Here it is again: http://forum.tip.it/index.php?showtopic=192134&view=findpost&p=5265215 I'm more than happy to help improve your life as long as you demonstrate that you're at least being proactive about it. If you aren't, then you're wasting both of our time.

edit: nevermind

I just don't see the logic here.

I forgot to ask in my original post... Why are you asking what's socially acceptable or not? Why does that matter?

Blowing up on her is just gonna cause drama in the long run. I know as men we often have an urge to "set people straight" and "lay down the law" if we get pushed too far or annoyed beyond our limits... But the simple solution is to completely ignore her for a few days, cool off, go have fun doing whatever, and then reinitiate contact as if nothing ever happened. And sadly it is socially acceptable for men to blow up like that, but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Though honestly I don't understand why you picked up your phone in the first place if you were trying to sleep. Unless I'm missing something, I think this is more your fault than hers.

Latin you'll get bored of beta after a few hours too :P

Yes I agree w/ that

As long as you recognize that this is an illusion, and that not every girl you meet is instantly into you, you should do fine. I can see it becoming a problem if you ever loose sight of the fact that this really isn't true though. For the people asking why this is a problem, I would think this hinders your ability to detect how other people really feel about you. I feel like it would be a good idea for you to try and find out what girls are actually into you, if you can (and this can go for anyone really, since just about everyone has trouble reading 'the signs'). Once you know who is and isn't into you, you know who to watch for signs, and you get behavior that maybe you thought meant something from other people that actually doesn't, and you can start to discard it. We all do this naturally to some extent, though knowing who is and isn't into you would make things much easier for your brain, since it sort of has to guess most of the time. I disagree with this. When it comes to anything subjective (such as how you perceive yourself and others), I believe it is better to assume the best, even if it isn't "true." Better to assume everybody wants to get to know you and that you will enhance their lives than to start doubting yourself and using that as an excuse to hinder your own self-development.

Why is that a bad thing?

Hover over it While in resizable mode. With the mouse-over option enabled. Doesn't work in fixed :\

If you need money for whatever reason you can take a full inventory of divines and sell them to the general store nearby for 16.8M a trip >_>

Just did fight caves w/ ice barrage and full virtus (wand + book). All caves monsters are between lvl 120-140... from the bats till Jad. I did most of it w/o any overhead prayers... the Ket-Zeks only hit like 250 tops instead of 500s. The rangers did most of the damage since I was wearing full magic gear. It took me 13 super prayer flasks to get to Jad (!!) all the damn monsters have like 2500 lp each... even casting ice barrage at knife speed, it took forever to get to Jad. Anyways, I was expecting Jad to be a piece of cake like all the other monsters... he's only lvl 140 now. I was expecting his hits to be really low like all the other monsters. Needless to say, I was a bit stymied when he hit me for 4460 right off the bat LOL Anyways... Jad had too much HP and the healers did as well, so I killed all the healers but then they came back and I was too distracted trying to record data that I got hit again and died :P Would sometimes accidentally activate a leech/sap curse instead of deflect since the icons look similar >_> (the monsters formerly known as)... 22: weak to water 45 and 22: weak to water 90: weak to slash 180: weak to water 360: weak to ranged Jad (now 140 cb): died while checking >_> Healer (now 130 cb): weak to water The healers were healing Jad waaay quicker than I could damage him, unsurprisingly. Using ice barrage only sucks. Gotta constantly spam the action bar if you wanna do decent damage. Speaking of which, the asphyxiation move (which I think is one of your default mage techniques) does about 3k damage every time >_> Basically an insta-kill on all the caves monsters...... except Jad, lol. Unless there's a hidden prayer bonus in equipment like the soul wars cape (which seems to have no stats right now), then I'd recommend getting your fire and kiln capes ASAP... though I'm sure most of the monsters still just need tweaking. Also, dual-casting ice barrage was pretty crazy. Despite doing unimpressive damage (compared to in the past), each cast would freeze and stun the monsters (Jad couldn't be stunned though). If I'd lock on to a 360, it wouldn't be able to fight back at all because it'd be stunned until it died. The caves monsters all hit through deflection prayers... but not for any major damage. I'd attempt the caves again for more research, but it's incredibly boring/tedious getting to Jad. Still can't believe how much prayer it took. Maybe next time I'll test out dual rapiers or dual c'bows/knives or something.

Seems like armor no longer provides any offensive stats... divine and arcane spirit shields have identical stats (though divine still drains prayer)... all 3 DG shields have identical stats as well, and appear to have the best raw stats for all shields in the game. edit: nvm found that you have to "lock on" to an enemy to see armors offensive stats

Can't import my stuff right now :\

Don't tell her how you actually feel unless it's immediately followed by, "...and that's why I don't think we should continue hanging out." Too soon for stuff like that, IMO. Buuut you really don't have anything to lose, assuming you'll be separated once again in a couple of years due to college. Regarding your biggest worry-- is it really that big of a deal?

The animation has nothing to do w/ the actual wheel mechanics. If it did, the ultra-rare items would occupy 1/1000th of the wheel instead of like 1/20th

Not sure if trolling, or...

Couldn't they have just said that all monsters ordinarily weak to water are also weak to ice; same goes for blood and fire, etc.

You make it sound like that's a bad thing.

They can't really farcast you with SoA effectively, can they? Farcasting isn't really necessary anymore.

*bites his tongue* :P But I do agree with everything that y_guy said.

Do whatever you want to do.

I would recommend against a fraternity. At least at my school, everyone in them are generic douchey bros who are just annoying. Also, I kind of just see them as paying for friends. Don't see the point. Like I said-- that isn't an issue if you join a fraternity that isn't full of the stereotypical boneheads and doesn't haze. Joining my fraternity was easily the best decision of my entire life. I've got about a dozen "best friends" now thanks to the fraternity-- I'm closer to them than I was to my best friend prior to college whom I hung out with constantly. And no, I certainly didn't "buy" them.
