Depends. What kind of drunk are you? If you're the fun and entertaining drunk, then you'll be ok. And I don't mean get plastered dude. I mean drink to the point of getting tipsy so things become funny but you're not standing there fumbling your words, or making incoherent sounds.
QFT. I have a legitimate issue with it, though; I had to drop an AP junior year because I simply refused to do any of the work. I actually skipped English for a week and a half and pulled it off without getting a detention, then decided to stick with it. I've got more of a handle on it now, but it's still problematic.

Damn dude that sucks. You're still in HS? I thought you were at least 25. Impressive. Anyways, to me high school was nothing more than a joke. A way to pass time. It didn't really prepare me for college but I could also attribute that to my lack of motivation. I guess it's not what school gives you, it's what you manage to take out of it.

Most people I know don't have the iPhone, and if they did there's no way they could whip it out in the middle of a test in a classroom and get away with it. TI's much safer.

What's the new TI? 89? Suckers are expensive as hell.

Meh. Drinking's overrated. I have three alcoholic uncles, at least two borderline alcoholic cousins - one of whom tried to get my naive fourteen year-old cousin to drink at a wedding, at which point I almost broke his hands - and I've seen way too many people do ridiculously stupid things to try getting drunk again (I pretty much did in tenth; didn't work out as planned).

Slightly tipsy is fun, though I only even go there on occasion; alcohol is like liquid lard to my family and our metabolisms of molasses. The only reason I'm in respectable shape is because I don't want to get overweight, which would happen in a month if I was sedentary.

How'd you get to that?

That's what I hear. The past three and a half years scream missed opportunities, though, and it's really a shame to regret such a significant portion of my life this early on.

There probably is an 89, but we're still on 83s and 84s. I've had this 83 since ninth grade, I think.

Ah gotcha. Well I agree drinking is overrated. Hell I hate alcohol and haven't had any in what, almost 2 years? I mainly used it as a pathway to social improvements, and then just to get hammered and see what I could do, followed by using it for logical purposes such as public speaking.

Hahaha that's hilarious.

How'd you get to that?

I don't know, I thought all of the antedeluvians were in their mid 20s or at the very least, older than myself. It wasn't really based on anything. I assume that if I'm at this logical level at my age, then people who are "above" me MUST be older.
That's what I hear. The past three and a half years scream missed opportunities, though, and it's really a shame to regret such a significant portion of my life this early on.

Eh, I wouldn't trade it for anything though. You get to see the type of people considered "leaders" in high school, only to hilariously realize that those same people are tools when you get to college and nobody cares about that crap anymore. Not to mention shameless flirting and hooking up (if you're social enough and mature enough to like girls which I wasn't until I was 18). Education wise? They don't teach you much. At least not as much as your brain could really handle. You REALLY have to get as much information from them as you possibly can to consider high school useful. I agree they teach you the basics and what not, but not much more unless you initiate it. I flunked out my 1st year of college because I signed up for classes, and just didn't go.

Logical, huh?

But yeah, it really is a lot easier to do just about anything when people are drinking. Except have reasoned discussions or drive.

Hahaha that's hilarious.

It's aggravating.

No, I mean how'd you conclude that I was in high school?

I still manage to get away with really stupid things in the end; they're just horrendously embarassing to look back on.

😂 I stopped smoking in the fifth grade.

I'm just lazy, and I don't understand algebra.

Publius II Boss

I didn't understand the basic mechanics of sex until I was in fifth grade, and even then I found out from a gay kid at lunch. I thought it was French kissing, which I always associated with a scene from Alaska, which I saw when I was eight. I always figured you could just impregnate someone by like, spitting in their orange juice or something.

My parents and I never had the talk...

And I like algebra provided there's one variable and I don't have to deal with logarithms.

You'd be surprised how many reasoned discussions ensue with alcohol and hookah.

Oh. It appeared to me the way you were talking about high school, was in the present, not the past.
You sound like you were a troubled child...

Learning disoders, severe a.d.d to the point of heavy medication, clinical depression, being antisocial, all that heavy stuff. Not to mention my brain was wired from because I had too many concussions throughout my adolescence, so while people were maturing with their age, I was stagnant up until last year when I did a year of biofeedback. Helped a lot. But yea, I made fun of people in HS, and I made fun of people. The people that made fun of me weren't popular at all in college. In fact, they did a 180 and were the quiet ones. Ironic I suppose, how a lot of the high school losers surpassed them socially, in every sense of the word.

Ever go to a Jewish school and order 5 bacon meat lover's pizzas to your school to a Mr (she was a woman), math teacher? High school was all about doing stuff you know you could get away with and getting it out of your system.

Nein.

Fine, enjoy studying, CHUMP.

My parents and I STILL haven't had "the talk". And I like math with one variable as well. Whatever the hell a variable is. 4x+5y=15 and 6x-2y=12. Crap like that. Beyond that, and my head hurts.

One of my best friends is waaay to into those. The first thing he asked me to do when I told him I got my license was to drive him to a hookah bar.

You were right, it's just been a closely guarded secret. 🥷

Ouch. I have it comparatively good, I guess.

I'm comfortable where I am. No one's messed with me much since middle school, and even then it was mostly "playing around" (which invoked murderous feelings).

Still, the shame remains. I got caught trying to change an answer on my math final in eighth grade; I had a 92. 😛

Almost every religious Jew has one of these. It's some kind of tradition, don't ask me. But it's labeled as "the conversation starter".

Damn, I was perceptive for once. Time to order a new bottle of adderall.

Well, I'm not using these things as a crutch, because I always argue against that. But it did set me back i'd say from the time I was 15, until 24, which is 9 damn years. That's a LONG time to catch up with. They offered me 3 extra hours for the lsat and I turned them down. Sure I would like to use these "problems" to get ahead but I if everyone in that room can take the lsat under the allotted time, so can I.

Oh boo ****ing hoo. I'd kill for a 92 on anything math related.

Then I'll sell you these programs. 50,000 republic credits per program. It will also tell you how attractive and cool you are.

My parents have an ornamental one, although they think of more as a Middle-Eastern keepsake than a Jewish one.

We still do, it's just that most of it's simply in jest. No one's actually really been "mean" to me since middle school, but sarcasm and "derogatory" (not necessarily profane) humor make up the bulk of what we joke about.

Oh boo ****ing hoo. I'd kill for a 92 on anything math related.

That's the point. I'm often retarded enough to take something perfectly good and (almost) ruin it. There was no penalty that time, but like I said before, I really dropped the ball in that AP class.

Facebook works, although I still don't have one...

Three different people have made me accounts, and I've had to spend hours convincing people that they weren't really mine. It's actually a bit scary.

And on that note, I just realized that my fingers no longer work, and I've basically been here for ten hours. Sleeep...

Yea I don't really read my own sources and I do worse the longer the debate drags on. Lets just agree to disagree and just so we're clear, I do believe in government assistance for those who are victims of circumstance, and for those who work their asses off but can't make the money.
I also believe that there's less racism in this country than there is perceived racism. I think that's a poor excuse.
Finally, if you want evidence of welfare abuse, I will show you statistics. Obviously not everyone who is on welfare deserves it.

It appears we have a similar assertion. The only difference is, you think the majority of the poverty class is there because of choices and I believe they are victims of changing priorities, circumstances, and misfortune.

The statistics exist. Unfortunately, they're not going to bring to a single, clear conclusion, so we must choose our personal interpretation. I'm going to stick with mine (which I feel is more logical), but since I'm not going to change your mind... well, you know the drill.

Since we're in teh-randomz mood, here's a pretty cool test you oughta take:

Yea it is a Middle Eastern thing, but most Jews have it so...I've never heard of an "ornamental" hookah. I thought they were all operational.
Pfft. I'd take it.

Eh law schools look differently on extra timed or untimed test. It's basically an asterisk. The last thing i want is for law schools to think I'm mentally handicapped.
