Forum: Rants Topic: I've got this.. "friend"... started by: solid Posted by solid on May 19 2001,02:32
You see, there's this person I've known for a almost 3 school years now. His name is Ryan Alexander. The deal is that during these years his life went AWOL, and his step father died, he was caught with kiddie porn (I sure know how to pick em) and thinks hes some sort of thug because he's been listening to gangster rap for 2 years and it's just fucking him up.I feel like beating the shit out of him EVERY weekend because he pisses me off because he tries to show off to me how bad and/or cool he is. The deal is, this guy is a REAL wuss in reality. He has a real bad history too- hung out with the wrong people in IRC, is a script kiddie, is the perfect stereotype, completely ignorant, and everytime he knows some worthless piece of shit information he starts laughing at me and then tells me what it is. So I'm thinking how do you help one of these people? The serious approach didn't work, the warm approach, the piss off approach.. nothing worked.. I'm thinking of just beating him up one day.. Suggestions? Posted by kai on May 19 2001,02:41

Well Kai it's really nice to fantasize about beating up a troubled loser who annoys you but I mean suggestions on how to get him back to normal. His parents aren't even all that supportive.. maybe his dad.

Okay okay I'll admit it. I'm too cheap to buy a bat.

Overcompensation for self histeem problems, perhaps, with all this "i'm so hard" rap music stuff, would be my first guess.Perhaps something to build his confidence.. what's he good at? Posted by Vigilante on May 19 2001,04:24
You can probably find a 2x4 lying around pretty much anywhere. Add a nail, and you've got the fearsome board-with-a-nail. Good for hunting large game, too.

LMAOActually I got the same problem... except MY hopeless loser DOESN'T compesate! He does Elvis impersonations, pretends he has a website, and takes a gay karate class! "EYE-AHH!" Point is... I still need to solve the problem myself, so if YOU figure it out FIRST, let me know. ------------------ Posted by solid on May 19 2001,14:38
Actually DuSTman was right on about him not having any self esteem. At least that's what I'm detecting.The other part, however, I can't do. He's already got a little popularity from those lame "badasses" in our school because he made a few rap songs with his computer (so yes, he's good at computers). If I try to give him the helpful kind of approach he'll probably ask if I'm gay and to leave him alone, which makes me wanna kill more. Oh yea.. since this is yet another rant- those rap songs he made are really offensive. Basocally he disses his friends, family, and keeps referring to women or girls as his "bitches", and because 3 morons are cheering him on over chat he thinks he's cool. Also he's got about a list of 100 or more of these irc girls that are, his "bitches".. Posted by d1ce on May 19 2001,14:40
He need's to be humbled...I don't think you should beat him up though... but then again, i'm anti-violence... Forget it. Ignore me. ------------------ Posted by Spydir on May 19 2001,18:25
I used to have a friend like that. Really egotistical guy, and every chance he could say "I'm better then you!" he took it, and if he couldn't, or in that area you were better then him, he'd bring up something totally different. like...me: Dude, I got this tight ass stereo! it pissed me off like all hell. He thinks he can kick everyone's ass, but I know he can't fight. He thinks fights are those bruce willis Die Hard fights with guns and shit... I finally told him sometime last mouth that I didn't want him to talk to me until he stopped being an egotistical prick, and grew up. Haven't talked to him since... well, he did find his way into one of my IRC channels, but not much else... ------------------ Posted by solid on May 19 2001,19:40
That is SO ryan.Me: So I'm trying to get this deus ex mod on the road eh? Wanna help out? I could use your skills. Him: Pfft! Deus ex mod yea right! It's too hard, are you adding more guns? Me: More guns? It has like 17 and besides I'm just changing the guns- the part that attracts the public is the plot and gameplay. Him: Nooo.. counterstrike attracted people because it had realistic guns, because counterstrike is realistic. You need to put like 50 guns into that mod. I'll help out we'll rip off the guns from counterstrike and quake 2. Me: Counterstrike is nothing near realistic. Rainbow 6 is realistic. Deus ex is more realistic that counterstrike, and any half life engine blows. It's 4 years old. Him: HAHAHA noooooa.. blah blah blah... Posted by Nene on May 20 2001,03:44
I had a friend like that. In general she was a mess. We had this on/off dating thing.(90\% of her problems stemmed from speed & various other substances). Our friendship/relationship came to an end when she asked me why I was being so distant and why I wouldn't see her anymore. I told her I had enough baggage of my own and couldn't carry hers too. Ran into her a year later. She's still a mess. Maybe she'll figure it out. Sometimes you just can't help. That was a hard lesson for me to learn. Posted by solid on May 20 2001,14:24
Which is why I want to kick his ass. He's helpless.Disclaimer: I'm not explaining you already know. Posted by Dysorderia on May 23 2001,19:11
self-righteous assholes like him ruin this world, and often are script kiddies.*edit* ICQ me solid, and i might have some suggestions as to what to do with(or to) him. This message has been edited by Dysorderia on May 24, 2001 at 02:15 PM Posted by Spydir on May 23 2001,19:20
