I get it... You're associating computer behaviour with real-life syndromes?

I'm not used to doing that, for me, computers are way too different from humans.

EDIT: 37TH PAGE OH YEAH!

Well, I'm a computer kind of guy and I always tend to apply real life disorder names to computer malfunctions.

OCD: when it keeps asking me to do something no matter how much I click no
ADHD: when the computer's performance jumps rapidly, randomly, and excessively. On games, the frame rate jumps from 5 to 30 constantly
Schizophrenia: when the computer completely malfunctions, makes weird noises, and will NOT respond no matter what I do-even pressing the power button
Antisocial: when it will not connect to the Internet no matter what I do to it

unrelated: I finally got my birthday present!

It only cost 40 dollars!

Is the one on the left slightly blurrier?

If it's the actual font, I can't tell...
since the computer got its multiple personalities(and half-lost its original...), I've been seeing all proper text as more digital, and I can't change the font, even with the font editor that I found while trying to fix the computer.

Also ... huh, I opened the computer up, again, and it's fine, so...

I'll have to wait a while before I can say for sure just what is going on.

Apparently, your computer had an epileptic seizure, that's why it didn't work.

I guess it calmed down.

This is happening to me too. I guess PCPuzzle doesn't want to be read. Oh well, it's for the better.

@Emerald: I know from scrolling while clicking the mouse that the text size goes down. Also when you write a lot in a post, the text size shrinks. It stays like that for me until I close the window with the board tab, or sometimes the tab, or sometimes deleting history of the board. I think it's an intended feature, and what you're showing there looks like a possible side-effect of it?

But on a serious note, the mass takeover of social media is starting to creep me out. People are so dependent on their phones that in my first week of high school three were confiscated. I have six classes.

Yeah, I'm in high school as well, the only thing I see are kids taking selfies and all. Well, I just started my 3rd out of 5th grade, only three more years of pain and torture!

And this is why I don't like social media much. I try to avoid it outside of 'safe' forums like these and my personal email(s). It's incredibly hard to find someone who doesn't have a smartphone nowadays, and the fact that I don't text because I don't have one blocks me from about 99% of the population online and 20% from regular friendships. Not that I want in, but they could be talking about me and I would have no clue. Especially girls, it seems there is no girl I know who doesn't have a phone.

Especially that social media can be dangerous. You have absolutely no idea who's adding you on Facebook as a "friend", and if someone wants to meet you, it's dangerous because the person that talks to you, can claim to be someone you know, but he isn't. Anonymous bullying and discrimination are now a thing, because anybody can go to a library, create an email account without using a real name, and send a humiliating message, without anyone knowing it's you.

You see, I haven't even thought of that IP-connection-avoiding tactic. This shows how clever I am. [/sarcasm] All you'd have to do is not let anyone see what words exactly were on your screen, and avoid using multiple branches so the source (you) couldn't be centralized on a map like you see on crime-stopper TV series.

Yep, and you should wear gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints on the table, and hacking the library using a computer system to turn off the security camera, then come at night.

Seriously, the TV series about that are just way over-exaggerated.

That's the point. They need to be interesting.

Well, I don't really watch TV series, in fact, I haven't watched for many years. I usually don't really like anything movie/show because of how exaggerated they are and how much cliches they use. Yes, they're interesting... until you realize you watch things that are too similar to each other.

I know many would disagree with me, maybe it's just that I never tried to watch anything. I currently don't have time to watch them, because I have school and I am working on other projects.

I agree with you perfectly, actually. (WM because too lazy to change accounts)
