everyone i know tells me i'm a complete asshole. mean spirited. i tend to strike at the nerve at anyone i meet. like when i told my friend who is married with two kids and struggling make it by that i hope his kids get diabetes.

Diabetes? I'm guessing so she could lose some weight and become fuckable, amirite

But are you reeeaalllyyy muslim if you want to not be a proper muslim when you're young and 'having fun' but once you're old and boring and settled down, that's when you'll turn to religion? Is religion really supposed to be about convenience? Isn't it supposed to be about making sacrifices or whatnot?

Just playing devil's advocate. Because I remember when I was young and I knew in my head that I didn't buy this religion bullshit but I felt like I still had to hold onto it and justified it by thinking I'd be a good muslim when I was older. But then realised that wasn't what it was meant to be about and that I was just in denial and didn't actually believe in religion or god. Before I became an atheist, I kind of adjusted religion so much that it basically became my own personal belief, that was completely in conflict with Islam yet I still considered myself a 'muslim'. Kind of like you saying "I don't think god even cares if I kneel before him or not." But Islam says exactly the opposite.

elektrikluv · « **Reply #4394 on:** March 09, 2010, 11:46:35 AM »

I'm not saying you have to be 'exactly' anything to be a muslim, but your general attitude to the faith just doesn't strike me as such. Just my observation. Obviously its your faith and you know what you believe. I've just always been annoyed by people who are like yeeeaah gonna have fun now and not follow the religion, but I'm still *insert religion*! I'll just be a good *whatever* when I'm old and my life isn't as opportunistic for fun, then I'll be a good *whatever*! I find it rather hypocritical. And of course the whole picking and choosing. You choose to believe that god doesn't care if you kneel in your prayer to him, but why do you choose to believe he cares about other things? I dunno, its just too messy for me.

elektrikluv · « **Reply #4395 on:** March 09, 2010, 01:21:02 PM »

I don't want to seem like I was having a go, because I'm not! You just reminded me of myself lol.

I didn't really have a particular breaking point, I mean I remember when I was 12 and would still say my prayers before bed and eventually I just got fed up and realised I was just saying it out of habit and ritual, not because I genuinely believed anything was going to change or that anyone was listening to me. And my hatred for religion and its hypocrisies just kept on increasing. So yeah, there was no 'breaking point' as I've never had religion forced upon me, my house is incredibly liberal, no one prays or wears a headscarf etc, always wine in the fridge, allowed boyfriend's round etc.

So my mom was asking me about why I'm slipping away from god and whatever, and I got a looooooooooooong lecture about why I should do this and that.

Look I believe in god and all, and I'm still a muslim. But I'm also fucking bored of praying 5 times a day everyday, knowing myself I'll start doing that again when I hit my thirty's but now I'm young and I want to have fun. I don't think god even cares if I kneel before him or not.

It's kind of bs for a muslim to slack off on something as easy (and habitual) as that though. I left Islam but I was extremely devout until the moment I gave up on religion.

No I can understand if he was too lazy to wake up for the morning prayer or something but not spending 10 minutesish a day on the prayers suggests a different issue entirely than just "boredom", to me. You have to understand that not putting on the appearance of being a good muslim, either out of habit or fear of not being "saved", would usually carry pretty serious social consequences with your friends/family in a muslim country. That's why I think that he has a different problem with the religion than just time/effort.

5. Use vectors to prove that the line joining the midpoints of two sides of any triangle in R3 is parallel to the other side and half as long as the other side.

6. Let P =(x0,y0,z0) be any point in R3, and let a,b,c be any non-zero real numbers. Prove that the line though P in any direction d = (a,b,c) consists of all points (x,y,z) in R3 satisfying the equations

(x-x0)/a = (y-y0)/b = (z-z0)/c

Well so far I have the proof of the one line being half as long as the other. Do you even need that or did you already have it figured out? I think the angles is the harder part of the question and I'm just trying to remember where I put my old notes so I can look up some formulas.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #4414 on:** March 10, 2010, 02:19:24 AM »

Edit: I think you can find they're parallel by using cosθ = (v dot w)/(||v|| ||w||) (with v and w being being the lines d1 and d2 from the previous work). I haven't actually tried working it out though so I'm not 100% sure this will get a solution.

Regarding number 6, I think that (x-x0)/a = (y-y0)/b = (z-z0)/c is just a formula for a line in R3. Use the line = (x0, y0, z0) + (some variable)(a, b, c). This stuff is a bit hazy for me and it is getting late, so I think I'm heading to bed too.

So I'm sitting in the library, and there's a chick to my right with a little girl. The girl keeps looking at me and saying "dadoo! hi dadoo!" while her mom (who has to be 21 or so) smiles at me with a sort of embarrassed look on her face $:-\$

Then the girl walked up to me and gave me some animal crackers. Haven't had these in ages, so awesome

Mupepe · « **Reply #4420 on:** March 10, 2010, 01:50:55 PM »

You should turn your chair and hit on her smugly while eating the animal cracker. But do it to where you grip on the cracker with your teeth, but not bite and snap the cracker in half and then eat. You'll look mysterious!

Oh and then when you leave mess up the kids hair a bit and say "take it easy, scamp" and sling your coat over your shoulder and walk away.

Fucking ridiculous first night / day back in Tokyo. Went to 50 yen beer my first night back, got a little sloppy. It was snowing, so some trains were delayed / cancelled, one of which "happened" to be this girl and her friend's line. So said girl asks if she can stay at my apartment. I've known this girl for a little bit, she works at the Chipotle rip-off I frequent. Being drunk and also a nice guy, I say sure. We get to Shinjuku Station (my stop), and her friend fucking disappears. So I'm drunk and not connecting the dots, so I say "that's weird," and since the weather is miserable we hop in a cab. Bam. At my apartment, this girl is all over me, I just want to sleep since I had been up for 35 HOURS AND AM FUCKING TIRED FROM FLYING ALL DAY, she sleeps in my bed, wakes up and goes to work in the morning. I text her that I'm seeing someone and that I don't want that noise to happen again, and she declares that she is crying and unable to work. I reply "Are you serious?" No reply, I'm assuming everything is cool. SMH at Japanese melodramatic phantomness.

ASIDE FROM THAT

Being on break is the best. The biggest quandary of any given day is deciding what to eat. The lady is back in town tonight, getting boy band drunk tonight on 50 yen beers (which will no longer be 50 yen in May :'( :'( :'(), house party tomorrow night.

Also, cannot stop playing Bayonetta.
