Don't try to be the jerk. It's not you, and you'll screw it up in tiny ways that you'll never be able to understand. As someone who was in the same boat, I'm sure you've already experimented with being a toughguy at some point and got called out for it, and couldn't understand why, I mean these people do worse stuff all the time. No they don't, you screwed up. The ones that pull it off are that way all the way down. If you have to think about it, your mannerisms will be slightly off, your timing will be wrong, you'll say shit way out of line and just generally make a mess of things. Mostly you'll just look weird and unnatural, like some poorly wired robot trying to handle a task it was never meant for.
In order to pull it off successfully, it can't just be a mask you put on. You have to change yourself. Here's how: play. Do things just to see what happens, not to try to get the girl, or if you do do things just to get the girl don't put any emotional investment in it at all, because when it finally works it'll be a fluke and you won't even understand how it happened the first few times. Mostly it will just blow up in your face. Step one is being able to take that and be affected by it, you'll get rejected plenty of times.
Eventually you'll start to figure things out. Then you'll get real confidence. Then, depending on who you are, you might end up as the jerk. Hopefully not, it's a shitty thing to be. The thing is, you probably see a bunch of guys doing things and you think they're being a jerk, but the truth is you have no frame of reference. Maybe she deserved it. Maybe it's a game they're playing. Maybe they just had a fight. Maybe that's just the way those people are. Whatever. Don't pass judgment on other people's relationships, it's none of your business. Worry about yourself, or if you think you can do better, go rescue the girl or something.
Fact is, as a timid or inexperienced guy, a lot of perfectly normal things are going to seem "jerky" to you. Well, go out and experience it, find out for yourself, and everything that's holding you back will just melt away, but you can't get where you want to be just traveling to it in a straight line.
No, it's to give you two areas where you effectively only have to worry about accuracy in the X axis. Having it only at the bottom only gives you one. Twice as much space, for practically no cost.
Or you just create a scheduled task. Password gets saved, as safe as Windows ever saves a password (hopefully Windows creates a kerberos keytab or something similar, I've never checked though). You can run it on demand. If you change anything, you have to re-enter the password. I can't think of a more secure and convenient way to do it.
Just like the fact that there is no God, the fact that there is no absolute, or I guess privileged would be a better word, frame of reference leaves some people with a funny, empty feeling.
The thing is, and I'm not trying to put words in your mouth like, "VIDEOGAMES MAKE KILLERS," but what level of increased violence are we talking? There's no doubt I'm more likely to punch my friend in the shoulder when we play Tekken, and maybe I'm even more likely to shoot someone, but if the chance that I'm going to get stabby is 0.01% and a game brings it up to 0.0101% who cares?
Waking up at 6AM gets me pissed off too, but I do it every day. Should we outlaw 9-5 jobs now?

If you look at their netcode, you may be maimed for life.
Seriously, it's fucking awful. 8MB packets, and that is all I'll say.
Hahahahahaha what a faggot you are, well done sir!
I've always wondered about that; who the hell puts a server in a carpeted room?
It is nice. I don't even have to research the company to know I'll never, ever do business with it.
You're doing it wrong.
I meant ...
... durf.

Get out.
Ever watch your own IQ test be graded right there in front of you?
Man. Every red slash is a kick in the nuts. I imagine that's what it's like, except you can try to blame the professor.

Fixed that for you.
No, I wouldn't think that.

You also assume that there's an absolute frame of reference... which there isn't.
I'm not surprised at all, and I don't doubt you.

The GPL is off-course? Where was it going? It's not going there anymore? Dyslwhat?
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Also, if you're going to mod that, it shouldn't be modded anything other than redundant. By you.
