    Naney why are you posting about God's wrath?

  • My brother sold my GBA charger because he didn't realize that it was mine and takes issue with the fact that I want him to buy me a new one, even though he has a job (and 400 dollars on his person) and I have literally no source of income.

    Wait, if he sold it, then he should have money from that, and since it's yours, he should be able to use that money to buy you a new one.

    Because really, that just would make sense.

    It would be different if you lost your GBA charger or if you broke it; but it was he who got rid of it; and sold it at that.  Since he sold it, it's appropriate for him to buy you a new one.

    How much do those chargers cost?

    No, that won't work.

    Nobody will become more disposed to acting fair and reasonable upon being insulted (even if he or she deserves it).

    Just say that since he got some of his money from selling it, he should use some of his money to buy you a new one; and that it's his responsibility because he was the one who sold it.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    You're right, of course.

    But he is one.

    Kex's brother kind of strikes me as a jackass. Maybe that's a little unfair given that I only have one side of the story, but given that side of the story, he might have redeeming qualities, but he is still a jackass.

    He sold it about two months ago. I only bother him about it intermittently. He sold it because he was selling his old DS and couldn't do so without a charger, and didn't even consider that he might be selling one of my belongings. I'm sure he's spent the money since then, but like I said, he has a job and I have literally no reliable way to make money. I have ten dollars because on two occasions I've been paid to wash the dishes, but I want that money to last and the chargers generally run for about fifteen bucks anyway.

    He's nice most of the time but he has a lot of jackass-y qualities.

    who sells random shit they find around the house, anyway?

    I have a first cousin once removed that pulls stuff like that. He isn't a terrible person, but... he's perfectly neutral, really, morally and in many other ways. I don't know how else to put it. My sister once quipped that his problem is that he has no personality, and I think she's right...

    ah right, that makes a little more sense (though it's not any better, obviously)

    it looks like you can get them for less on amazon
  • He didn't even consider that it wasn't his. And when I confronted him about it, he excused it with:
    • Someone who's almost seventeen has better things to do than play a Game Boy.
    • I've lost his games before (when I was like nine years old and even then that's debatable but he's been bugging me about it ever since)
    • He's already apologized
    Whatever. I'm going to expend more than fifteen dollars' worth of effort trying to get this from him anyway.

    I just wish he didn't also owe me a Gamecube AV cable and printer.

    Is it worth it?

    I was imagining the chargers as costing somewher around 75 dollars; but really, just fifteen?

    Well like I said I almost never have any money.

    I can sympathize with almost never having any money

    I almost never have money, either.

    How old is he exactly?
  • He's 21. It's becoming more apparent to me every day that he's also kind of immature for his age.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    That's an understatement. I know that I'm immature for my age and I think that's immature.
  • Pet Peeve: Teenagers who loudly insist that they'll never have kids.

    It just seems hypocritical to complain that adults are always expecting you to know what you want to do with your life but also act like you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you'll never have kids.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I always knew that I would never have kids. My feelings about this have not changed.

    i don't want to be a parent

    maybe this will change but i kinda doubt it

    It's possible to only have certain areas of your future figured out (god, don't I know it). It's kind of like a puzzle: you find out which parts go together before mashing it all up into a bigger picture.

    I personally am not going to outright deny the possibility of myself spawning because nothing's guaranteed, but as it stands I don't see myself as a dad just yet (or a husband, really). Usually when I say stuff like "I'm never having kids" it's mostly exaggeration due to my experiences with smaller children/brothers/sisters/siblings/what have you. I would guess I'm not the only one, either.

    Adoption is a thing that exists. As do surrogates.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    And many other ways to have children.

    ...yeah, that's a bit dumb to say, Kex.

    In this instance, the word "have" means to biologically father or mother a kid.

    It only refers to that aspect of parenthood in this instance.

    That's what Kexruct means.

    The problem is how we use the same words for biological parents and those parents who care for, love, and raise children.

    I think you guys are all on the same page, but using different usages of the same word; and that's what's causing the confusion.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    in surrogacy, at least one of the child's biological parents intends to raise the child

    So, I assume you do surrogacy when, say, the couple is incapable of biologically having children with each other?

    Also, what does the other biological parent do?
  • Don't worry about it Aliroz, that was my mistake.
