Thread: Parents think LDing is an occult...

80% of the christian families in America are like this, or the parental roles gender reversed. All you can do is suffer threw it until you turn of age, on my 18th birthday i literally blew out the candles on my cake and walked out the door. I lived with a friend for a little while then his parents tried being mine, and had me doing all their shit while i they laid in bed all day, then i was homeless for a year, then i slowly with difficulty got jobs and made my own way. The land of the free isn't so just for the children that are subjected to their parents, lets face it, a large percent of the older generation are fools that don't see any value in computers, cellphones, or anything integrated into our generation. So the children are forced to live under scrutiny and criticism for being a part of a generation that is different than the previous one.

I remember when i was 12 i was whipped and grounded for playing a video game for an hour everyday and was given a lecture about how i'm lazy and irresponsible for it... I was fucking 12 and it's not the "back in the old days" days ANYMORE! I was told that you can't make money playing video games.....hmm parents were wrong on that one, i was also told that i would go blind and get fat from playing video games and watching cartoons, not "too much" but that i did it at all. WRONG AGAIN!

My point is there's no way you're going to change how your parents think, because it's who they are and how they were raised best to let the lying dog lay and just let that generation die out. At least that's my opinion

Because the supernatural and paranormal make me cringe, I've taken to explaining lucid dreaming in more naturalistic terms to people who are curious, so that I can separate myself AND lucid dreaming from being pigeonholed into the "new age" category. Not to diss on anyone that believes in the supernatural, paranormal, or new age things, of course. They're just not to my liking.

Spoiler for response:

This. I am 115 pounds at 14 and a half. in high school. Lighter than most chicks, yet still packed with muscle. Play on comptuer/games 4 hours one weekdays and up to 16 on weekends. I even got a spot into the top seeds in MLG. I regret not following up on that. The problem was that we were sponsored by Dr. Pepper. My teammate was a complete jerk and it was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous his temper. I ended up saying screw it, and couldn't find a good player to make my own team. He could not find one who would put up with his temper.

Also, the staff were complete dicks and one guy was literally trying to screw me over.

He later got fired from his position and now works with entertainment/commentary. No longer directing. emailing the new director the competition is absolute crap with no good people and they are probably not going to be doing that branch of MLG anymore.

Now it is only 4v4. (This was Halo 3 by the way)
