Author Topic: Parents and computers.  (Read 1638 times)

I basically share the same situation as OP

do absolutely nothing but get blamed when my parents forget up on the computer.

my parents aren't backwards ass handicapped so they don't do silly stuff on their computer and end up with 500 viruses B)

why do your parents keep supplying him with stuff if he keeps breaking it?
He has autism.

Don't start pitying him just yet however. He has really really low autism (if that's even logically stated..?) so he can comprehend pretty much everything easily. He just REFUSES to work. And whenever someone presents work, he'll either say he's too busy while playing a video game right in front of you, or he'll say "I'm autistic so I can't."

I've met autistic people who are fully capable human beings, you wouldn't even be able to tell they have autism (yes I realize there are different sub-categories of autism.) And not only is he ignorant and lazy, he's an ass about it too. He will do his absolute best to bounce things around onto you, which I guess in a way he's gotten from me due to my low tolerance for his behavior.

They supply him with hundreds of dollars worth of computer-related materials all the time because they probably worry that without them, he would have a mental break down and kill himself (There was this one time I jacked his computer and simply put a different password on his NON-passworded account. Locked him out for a week. He cried the whole week non-stop and begged for my parents to put me up for adoption. Lol.)

Eventually they'll get as fed up as I am and just take all of it away. Until then, he'll just continue to be one of the many internet idiots we put up with (the ID I use for this account is his ID, I try and keep his name as Manokal but he keeps getting the brilliant idea to change it to his actual name..) Ingame he's just as bad out of game. Annoys people, illiterate (he absolutely refuses to learn to read even though he's in eighth loving grade.), randomly quotes TF2, randomly curses... Sort of like an awkward stalker.

And he always tries to copy what I do. In every way. When I got Monster Hunter Tri 3 for the wii, he wanted it too. When I got MC, he wanted it. When I got BL, he wanted it (hence the IDs being one # apart). It constantly repeats.

my dad was born in 1949
Your dad was born in '49 and you are only 13?

what a champ

^Not impossible

Anyhoo, my dad is an amazing guy who does understand computers pretty decently. He has a rather dogged approach to such things though, and occasionally will mess something up by doing the wrong thing multiple times and thinking he made some other error.
My mom is ok with them; not fantastic, but around the same level.

I'm the only computer-literate one in my family.
hell no, lol
Your internet will probably get slowed down or even suspended if your ISP discovers that your dad is pirating.

With our ISP we can do pretty much anything since its a really small one.

This.

Though, my brother always tries to save the day when I am trying to explain something to my parents and says it is wrong. I yell at him because they do what he said and he goes cry.


Got my own private laptop, parents can't use it.
Sucks to be you guys who use a family comp.

My mum doesn't use computers at all. My dad is okay with them and he can do everything he needs to use them for (watching stuff online, emailing people, spreadsheets and stuff). My brother is alright, doesn't really use them often though. When he does it's usually for work or facebook. The only PC game he plays is Skyrim and he does that on my computer when I'm not home.

My oldest brother is a complete idiot because he refuses to learn anything and thinks he's the smartest person ever and that everyone should do everything for him (literally does not flush the toilet, wash dishes or dispose of his cigarettes properly because other people should do it for him, I keep telling my parents they should beat the stuff out of him but they don't). His laptop is covered in grease and several keys are missing, and he has a forgetton of viruses.

Does he have herpes?
