Basically, I've been (kind of) offered a place to live at Tory's house. I'd be sleeping on his couch, of course, because it'd be just plain weird if I actually took my bed over there. We hang out all the time at his place and whenever a WoW patch comes out I find myself over there downloading it, and he doesn't care. He lives about two minutes from my house by car, too. Basically, he's got DSL and two sort of cool brothers, whereas I have dialup and a dumbass brother.

@Joe: Actually move out, or just spend the night at someone elses house indefinately to increase the amount of time you have to play?

Get a job and pay them rent. Housing/utilities/probably their food, too. What else is there?

Newby · « **Reply #8 on:** July 11, 2006, 03:28:37 pm »

That's a fucking retarded decision, Joe. Why the HELL would you move out? For DSL? Get a job and buy your own DSL. Someone will be willing to provide you with something faster than 56K, even if it means internet via satellite.

You can do what my friend Zach does, and just basically live at my house until your parents ask you to go home, then come over the next day and repeat the cycle.

If you moved out, it would likely be the largest mistake you make in your young life. The relationship you have with your parents isn't as fragile as others, but depsite that, it is not indestructable. That said, it is also probably the single most importnt relationship you will ever have until you get married. Don't push your luck.

Joe · « **Reply #10 on:** July 11, 2006, 08:26:52 pm »

@unTactical: Unofficially move out. I'll still live here, I just won't spend time here.

@deadly: Neither.

@newby: I live in the middle of nowhere. To get DSL it would be $300 per month to transfer our phone line ownership from one company to another and then another $20 per month to get their DSL service. Too much.1

$300 a MONTH to transfer your phone service? Wow, thats the dumbest thing I've never heard of. If anything it'd be a one time cancelation fee, and just wait til your contract is up for the phone line & then change it

Nah. Aparently one company owns the right to provide me with phone service and in order to transfer that right to another company for one month they want $300. I would sue them for having a monopoly if I weren't so lazy, because they'd definately lose.

& that whatever he just spouted is wrong.

they arent going to charge you $300/month to transfer phone service

iago · « **Reply #17 on:** July 11, 2006, 11:50:01 pm »

I imagine it's a 1-time fee.

His parents probably lied to him because they don't want to change

In the technology field, my parents usually have no clue what's going on. I left World of Warcraft open, logged out, and my parents claimed it was causing my brother's computer to take ten minutes to load a single page in Internet Explorer. Anyone see flaws in that idea?

I do.

1. The program wasn't online, and then didn't use any bandwidth.
2. The people using that computer are in their fourties, plus a 13 year old son. Spyware and viruses galore.
3. They're using IE.

Is this seriously why you want to move out?

QQ, Joe. QQ.

I suggest you take a step back and look at how fortunate your situation is relative to other people your age. Your parents don't understand much about how computers work? Big deal. Educate them with a happy heart.

You're Christian, right?

Joe · « **Reply #23 on:** July 12, 2006, 03:20:25 am »

Honor, not obey, IIRC. Also, the bible says to flee from temptation. Temptation to punch my brother in the face for being such a stupid person. My parents, I can't expect to know what's going on, but him..

But no, that's not why I want to move. It's nothing against my family, I just want DSL. =)

Great reasoning. You'll have DSL now for maybe a year or two. But if your life takes a turn for the worse you could end up living in a box on the street with a hooker name Sherley. DSL would probably be your last concern then.

Perhaps you need to worry less about now and more about your future, IIRC you had a bunch of Fs. Shouldn't fixing that be higher on your todo list then ditching your parents for DSL?

Joe · « **Reply #25 on:** July 12, 2006, 05:39:06 am »

I'm not ditching my parents. It's more of a prolonged summer sleepover.

Twisting the words of the Bible so you get what you want, cool. Thats what everyone else does that starts holy wars.

If he keeps that up, he'll be on 56K the rest of his life, because he won't be able to afford DSL.

I passed all my classes thanks to exams, not that it matters nearly as much as you think it would for my college of choice (North Central University, Jesus school).

Right, and also, abandoning your house for better internet is Greed, a deadly sin. Let's not forget the Gluttony (free food from your friend?) and Wrath (punching your brother?). Also, there's that Sloth you have. Looks like you're pretty well fucked if you leave.

You'll settle for a Jesus school over an actual good college?

You fail at life automatically. You're almost as bad as a Mormon.

If you do move out and lived with your friend, eventually he'd get tired of you always on the computer, eating his food, and buming at his house, and you'll end up getting kicked out, and if you're lucky, your parent might want you back.
