They don't fucking care that there's a program that fixes the problem, they just think that "I use the computer enough as it is".

That can't possibly backfire at all.

You could just go ahead and do it anyway, as long as it isn't too crazy. Don't ask for permission, just tell them you're going to do whatever it is. It worked passably for me, though your mileage may vary.

Today in Bauglir doesn't know shit about programming: Advancing through an array by manually adjusting a pointer seems to require decrementing it to advance to the next entry. This explains a lot, and yet also raises further questions. Also, before you ask, this was still easier than working around all the stupid typecasting horseshit I did.

Listen people - if I ever offer to write code for you, please. Don't let me. In fact, punch me, as hard as you can. I am king of fucking simple things into overly complicated garbage.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Wouldn't work. Absolutely anything computer-related is the devil to them. Researching Enlightenment philosophers on Wikipedia? EVIL. Messing around in GIMP, making pretty pictures? THE DEFINITION OF DARKNESS. Maybe even just messing with Cataclysm .jsons or DF raws is RAGE-INDUCING HORROR.

My flash-game addiction and Runescape habit, both from back in middle school, seem to have tainted their minds with the idea that [Tawarochir] + Computer = games.

Was referring to greatorder's televangelist thing.

Mom isn't really cool with my traditional-faith-lacking, anyway.

Off topic, but I love your name, Caroline :3
So I've been browsing back and-
Oh...oh goodness. Yes.
Caroline~ ♥
I don't like it. Reminds me of Coraline.

After that, I feel like I have a phobia of buttons, thread and sewing needles when they're all together.
Oh pff. Coraline is awesome!
It's...the other...that isn't.

Your friend really needs...stuff...with his attitude. :S

Bauglir I'll be your partial voice of reason and punch you lightly now. :I
* Tiruin punches Bauglir.
Now stop beating yourself up and realize that whatever ineptitude you may have at the moment is a hint at how much you need to progress at [that_work]. Its partially with the mindset, or how you process your thoughts into things, but you aren't going to stay [at that low level] if you wish to improve...unless you don't, and flop, and be distressed and stay staring at the hole than at the road ahead D:
*also hugs to you guys*

Actually it seems to turn out that I was wrong about that thing I just said? Fucked if I know what's happening anymore. I'm just going to have to unfuck the typecasting issue.

She's fine, it's just that the name of the book/film is Coraline.
Whonow?
The 'other' I was talking about was the antagonist of Coraline :P

Now I'm worried that the poster formerly known as Cmega will get uploaded into an AI core, possibly against her will...

This is why we keep the squishy brain and wire a wi-fi interface into it. And then digi-clone it a few dozen times and network in a bunch of expert systems and maybe a few AIs. Human body, immortality, vastly improved capabilities, and theoretically infinite supply of minions.
