Just reduce your relationship with him to the logical.
Every time he wants you to raid, ask him 'What do I get from this?'
Start tallying up the favors owed to eachother, and if he goes over a certain amount, don't do shit for him until he pays it back.

It's painstaking and harsh but also a fun way for late developers to learn about friendship and obligation- and you might learn something too.

why even do things at all is what i want to know

Hello apathy!

How's things? Oh wait - you don't care do you

Someone[Not on these forums] abbreviated my username to "Arcv".

[Furtuka]

Congratulations you are now a Yu-Gi-Oh show

[Frumple]

Ark-v? Arseive. Arsiv? Arciv? Arshiv. Our shiv. Our Shiv! Actually, you are now the hoboiest familiar of zero fanfiction. Be proud of your vaguely homoerotic backalley knife fight prowess.

Sigh... I cannot muster the fucks needed to deal with this.

And he's not making more.

Wait, really?

This reminds me of flappy bird guy, in a way.

Speaking of Flappy Bird, what is with that thing? My sister has no less than 10 knockoffs of that on her iPod.

Thats not a flappy bird thing, thats just mobile games being terrible afaik. You make something cool and decide to put it on mobile? You will get cloned and/or ripped off. And then forgotten about if they get more successful, prob'ly.

It is also a Flappy Bird thing especially. Once the creator deleted his copy everyone else saw a position to move in and take over the vacuum that the deletion of the original created.
Why anyone would actually have more than a single clone of it at once on their phone (since they are all probably pretty much identical, as they are clones) is beyond me though.

She might be like me and is searching for the superior clone.
At least that's how I rationalize the amount of flappy clones I have. :v

Flyme, there's a difference between nice and doormat, remember. I mean, if they do things for you, then OK, you just didn't get us the full story, but if they're not, then it comes across more as them using you.

So much this.

I've lived pretty much my entire life just doing crap for people, when it failed to do anything for me.
Do I look like a happy person for it? I'm not.
I'd gladly trade away all the people that stepped on me to get some freedom. But the thing is, I still don't, because I still let people step on me.
If it makes you annoyed or upset, then it's not worth dealing with it.

There is now a Five Nights at Freddy's 3. Jesus fucking Christ.

I never knew there was a second one.

For me, me doing this for other people has led them to put themselves into a position of authority over me, where the force me to continue to bend over backwards for them or else they will wreck my life. Biggest example would be my relationship with my parents. Especially now, after they moved my stepdad's son into my room with me. They promised me it was only one night, but it's been about a week now.

My brother is very bad at judging when to use his epinephrine shot... $40 a pop, but he used it just because "he had a strange feeling after eating bread".

[Helgoland]

Make part of it come out of his allowance when it's used incorrectly?

[Skyrunner]

Well, my mother doesn't want him to not use it when he actually needs to >_>

[Lightningfalcon]

I thought those thing were really painful to use?  Shouldn't that act as enough of a deterrent?

[FearfulJesuit]

I keep telling myself I'm going to give up Redditing, but then I see nonsense like this...

Redditor insists that strippers would greatly benefit from accepting bitcoins. Others are sceptical.

and I can't get away.

I'm a bit late to the party, I'd like to say it still:

My friends did congratulate me, asked me if I was fine, said I had a noble heart and courage. I'm not so sure anymore.

But it is true. It is noble and brave to try and stop the injustice. That's because doing something like that can be especially hard and dangerous to one who does it. Your case proves it. Yes, you got the short end of the stick. Yes, you did try to enforce the law when it was not your place to do so. Yes, it might have been foolish and rash.

But sometimes, it is right to stand up. The laws should be there so the strong should not prey on the weak. And it is noble and brave to do that yourself, when the ones responsible fail to uphold the law.

You DID well, Caroline.
And be angry about injustice. Use your anger to fuel your ambitions and desires. Don't give up on being good person.

Just, you know, don't let the anger consume you. You'll end up bitter and spent.

I'll just echo what other people told you - dump him. If other friends are truly your friends, they will understand. If not, then you don't need those kind of people around you, man.

Is it hard dumping those last few of IRL people you try to hang with? Absolutely. But one day will come when you'll meet new people. Having less irl social contacts for some time is better than having bad social contacts. Move on, you don't need scrubs like that.

Besides, you still got us. We might be less "real" than your irl "friends", but at least we don't try to screw you over.
