I'm too tired to go on, but the kid just called asking to be picked up from a football game downtown because his friend can't find his car. It wasn't stolen, they just don't know where they parked in the lot.

G-d Damn

Let him walk.

My bleeding heart mother has gone to get him. If it was my choice, he would have had to walk home, no second thought about it.

Apparently she is probably why he is the way he is.

How much are you contributing?

Do you mean contributing to his state of mind ? or to the family ? I work 1 full time job and 1 part time job, effectively 65-70 hours a week, so I'm not at home that much. I have had lengthy discussions with him about it, and about the MUD game, as well as all out shouting matches with him, and nothing gets through.

 

[xSauronx]

take the computer from him, jesus, this isnt hard. just dont let him get on it. if no ones home and he gets on it...take it somewhere else so he cant use it. take the ram out and keep it somewhere he wont find it

oh, and be a good brother and stop talking...and kick him in the nuts, seriously, he needs it

Yeah I know, a swift kick is really what he needs. One of the real contributers to this problem is my mother, who goes too easy on him. I've tried to talk to her about it, but she disagrees that any strict action should be used.

 

[Shockwave]

I lost my car one time. Took damned near half the morning to fidn the stupid thing. My friend lost his one time too, took like 3 days to find it.

were you high, drunk, on shrooms, or on acid?

I just don't understand how anyone can lose a car?

 

[cain]

yo fvck him up. because if you dont give him a ass whooping right now, one day someone will. and it aint gonna be controlled. see, if you beat him, it's like in a control environment, you only beat him to a certain extend. but if it were someone else, holy sh1t, they can kill him. as for mudding, just cut off the internet. if he goes to the library to mud, tell the librarians to ban his ass.

 

[Ant001]

Get on the MUD yourself and break some rules. They'll ban your IP.

BTW, zMUD is a MUD client, not a MUD.

<--- used to play MUDs (never addicted)

Break the computer - slightly. Nothing permanent, but something that he or his computer geek friends can't figure out. Pretend to know nothing.

That'll get him away from it for awhile. Just a thought.

Anyone have suggestions on subtle ways to make it stop working? Changing jumpers around maybe?

 

[JoeKing]

cmos battery is mighty purdy.

 

[StageLeft]

He needs the computer taken away.

 

[LordSnailz]

blah ... kicking his a$$ or taking the computer away is not the right thing to do. He'll just distance himself more from the family .. you need to talk to him and be his friend, find out what's bothering him. If you take away his computer, what do you think he'll do with his time. Unless he's under 12 or 13 kicking his a$$ or taking away the computer won't work.

 

[PanzerIV]

It sounds like not only is he addicted to that game but he's avoiding reality. I agree you should remove the immediate problem from the situation which is to the computer. The avoiding reality may stem from depression. Most cities of any decent size offer free counseling so see if you can get him involved in that.
It's great you're concerned about your families well being and you might be the key to get them off on the right foot.

Drunk and high cruisin around. Meet up with a friend who's goin partyin, so you park your car and jump in with him. A good amount of beer, weed and some shrooms later, you have no idea where you left your car. 😕

It came down to spendin the Saturday morning cruisin around look for my car.
Literally, Dude, Wheres my car.

Who says he should do anything....it's not his business. Obviously he is a joke to his brother.

So out of that job and a half how much do you hand to your mom?

If 3/75 means you were born in March 1975, don't you think it's time to move out?

I hope your kidding. It's obvious that the complexity of this situation is far beyond you.

Also, I'm 19 and the 375 is in reference to the hand gun, though it's .357 I realize.

Edit - and yes, I have moved out.

 

[alkemyst]

so you are keeping it y0 tight aight on here with 2400 posts since last year, wanna be gangster, yet your younger brother who's not an adult yet is wrong in mudding.

Your mom is struggling yet you have internet access, probably broadband as well.

I think one is a little jealous of the special treatment their brother is getting....maybe she loves him more.

Haha this actually made me a laugh. Let me draw an even simpler picture for you here:

My brother is 17, will be 18 in October. He has not had a job before, nor has he tried to have one. He also has 0 initiative to get one. That is one problem. What ties into that, is his lack of any social interaction, which is atleast somewhat affected by his constant use of the MUDD game.

I don't know about you, but I have been working since I was 15. I personally feel that for someone to have absolutely no job experience by the time they are 18, which he will be in a few months, is just lazy and lacking of any true excuse, spare physical or mental disability.

My mother is struggling as she is a single parent, supporting a child. As I've stated, I'm 19 and live on my own 9 months out of the year when I am at school in Toronto, which I pay for myself. You are truly misunderstanding the situation, especially thinking I am jealous of him. Almost everyone who has posted in this thread can understand my frustration with my brother's situation.

Judging from your response, you're probably playing that damn game right now waiting for your allowance.

 

[UnatcoAgent]

Also, alkemyst, how am I a 'wanna be gangster' in any way shape or form? So random

You probably are getting grants/free money...not exactly paying it for yourself.

However, I started in banking when I was 12 working filing stuff for my father who was VP. By 16 I was doing electronic sales to Fannie/Freddie....by 23 I owned a home I put $40k down on, and bought another $40k in items for it. When I went to college before that I borrowed $7k only for 5 years and did the rest on savings...I worked the bank in the day part time after highschool and in the summers...earning about as much in one hour that my friends did in a 4 hour shift. Then I delivered chinese food at night about 4 hours 4 days a week for about $400 a week or so....

I now am a senior I.S. staff member with an office and a decent disposable income, friday night out is a $100 tab weekly for the record. We play on saturday and sunday as well and I send in 4 figures to college debts, but hey if I am playing a game I earned it....prior to that I worked for myself for two years and had fun neffing here 8 hours a day. By this time next year I will have a huge down payment on a house and no debt...the allowance goes to my wife.

You are 19...you think you have it figured out. Let your mom raise the kid, and butt out, you are more than likely causing her problems. If you are so concerned, quit school and help her out. You are not your brother's keeper.

Hahah looks like I hit a sore spot for you. I bet it took you a while to type your little biography up there.

So, if anything you should be siding with me here. Since you've been working for so long apparently, I would think you would also be able to understand where I am coming from. Good for you, you've worked hard through life and are doing well for yourself.

EXACTLY WHAT I WANT MY BROTHER TO WAKE UP AND REALISE HE MUST START DOING - WORKING HARD.

I didn't ask you for your life history, I don't care about how you paid or didn?t pay for school, or whatever you do on your Friday nights. So go brag in your own thread.

For someone who has done so well for themselves, you don't seem very bright. First you assume (emphasis on ass) all this about me, saying I'm a 'gangster', that I leech off of my family and do nothing to contribute/causing trouble, don't pay for school etc, which is very untrue.

Also, I'm missing the part where I said I had it all figured out. Care to explain?

Edit - after reading through your posts in this thread again, I am flat-out shocked at your shear level of stupidity. I guess you don't have any siblings, or never had to deal with family hardships of any kind. I didn't pick any fight with you, and you decide to take a sh!t in my thread, maybe your wife is getting a little pissed at your friday night spending habits, I bet she spends atleast that amount on young guys when you're at your cushy I.S job in that little office.

Keeper? When did I make any reference to me owning my brother?

You must be very confused.

A while? no I am well aware of the work I have done.

no never said I worked hard....I worked smart, but you know what my brother didn't go to college, he is 20 months younger, stayed home and continued hacking...I went the pre med route...accepted to pharmacy school at UF and Univ. of Miami/SECOGS, engineering at MIT and Georgia Tech. I make about half the 6 figure income he does staying at home playing with the computer...no regrets about it.

I didn't ask you for your life history, I don't care about how you paid or didn?t pay for school, or whatever you do on your Friday nights. So go brag in your own thread.

No you didn't and I don't need your permission to post. I am merely trying to enlighten you that life is simple if you let it me. Stop the hating and live.

well anyone wanting Magnum375 (point by the way like you say) must be lacking something...noodle material perhaps....must want to be dirty harry then, but he had a .44, so what do I know.

So what is the truth...why magnum375, how do you pay for school, how much monthly do you hand to your mom and how much monthly do you cost her?

Also, I'm missing the part where I said I had it all figured out. Care to explain?

there you go.

well stupidity got me arrested a couple times, shot at many, chased out of homes by husbands occasionally...but oh well...

sibling, 1, 20 months younger.

Family hardships? hmmmm both my parents hospitalized and without income when I entered college....I had no aid from them, but FIFSA or whatever said they made enough to cover my college. So I got no aid, just loans and my savings. Yeah they sort of paid for it since my savings was based on me living there free from 12+ while I could save.

Maybe she buys young guys oh well...

Little office is about 20x20 it's pretty small and only overlooks a nice fountain on the lake. No parking space under the overhang for me though...life is hard.

All you have done is to further explain more about yourself, which is not the point of this thread or this arguement. Ok, you've made it clear that you didn't work hard, you worked smart, whatever the difference is. Unless you didn't even read my origional post, you should have noticed that my brother does not work at all, which is the problem I'm trying to address.

Also I never said I hated life, just ignorance. You still havn't explained why I'm a 'gangster', nor have you explained why I have it all figured out. And yes, she probably does buy them young.

Edit - and no I'm not going to explain any finances to you, because I don't care if you know or not, nor does it change anything.

Magnum, you're in Toronto, eh? Attending University?

Lemme guess, you have OSAP.

(OSAP=Ontario Student Assistance Program. Loans. There are very, very few full scholarships that Canadians can get Alkymyst.)
