| The main problem, from what I'm seeing, is that someone who can't do math is (sometimes) in charge of something that affects your income. Squashing that, if at all possible, just leaves the situation where he's wrecking his own income/situation/life because of it, but if you're not financially tied ... |

| Bill Gates didn't exactly have people skills. It's a skill which helps , yes, in a lot of business situations. But it's not mandatory. Especially if you're not looking to work in face-to-face sales (although B2B is surprisingly calm and logical in comparison) or be an out-there huge face of a compan... |

| That's REAAALLY really bad.. like just brutally pathetic that this ad might actually appeal to someone and get them to buy this $60 fugly bear. It's deliberate. It's a common con trick to make ads (like spam) which are so bad that intelligent people will immediately dismiss them, and thus the con a... |

| I've never connected "other people are doing a thing" with "I should do that thing." I'm me and they're them and I'm sure that whatever they're doing works for them (probably, maybe), but that doesn't mean it would work for me. For everything you see someone else doing, or hear a... |

| It's not your job to connect your brother with reality, especially as he's resisting. Move out, live your life. Given his somewhat extreme emotional reaction, I'd even suggest, for safety, moving out at some point without notification and not letting him know your new address until he's gotten over ... |

| I've tried it a couple of times. Absolutely no positives in it, for me. Too loud, terrible lighting, I don't drink and wouldn't buy drinks at those prices anyway, cigarette smoke in my clothes and hair that needed washing out, a pounding headache, and simply nothing of any appeal in the club itself.... |

The most recent situation that came even close was about 20 years ago where I was so pissed off at a person on a phone call that I walked out of the building I was in and walked around the block to be able to calm down. - Obviously visible stims. I do stim, but... |
