Hello, seems the last post in the thread is old, so hopefully I’m not interrupting anyone’s fun.

As am I. It’s still kinda shitty to look down on someone based on an assumption.

You’re also assuming he doesn’t study because he wants to play games, like all of us did. (Those of us young enough even used the same computers for both!) I’ve asked questions like this before, and it sucks when everyone assumes the worst of you for asking. I thought maybe a different perspective would help, without explicitly pointing out that it’s shitty to make these assumptions.

I’m not super mad, just annoyed. One nice feature of this board is that I have a place I can say something. And not be too worried that I’m being a bit of a prick back.

and, yes, I have learned to make shorter posts that get to the point. thank you for noticing. 😛
