Well, you don't know about this and I do, although I've hardly ever used MSIE for a year. Anyway, I've used it for years, too. And I'm not ashamed, but there're better alternatives.

Btw, Sean, you would sleep only 2 hours if you were 13 hours siting in forn of the PC, assuming you waste 1 hour eating and another hour on your way home or hanging around somewhere watching TV whatsoever, then you just don't sleep: Then you're obsessed. You should get to the psychiatrist's... :-/

doing homework => 4:15pm (best case scenario)
surfing => 6:00pm (so that's less then 2 hours)
30 min to eat => 6:30pm (best case scenario)
surfing for (13-2=) 9 hours => 3:30am

So that's 2 and a half hour to sleep till 6:00am, each day, and you're 14(?).... Why do I find that a bit unbelievable ^o)

EDIT: KeyStorm beated me...

Best I can give ya...I get lots of sleep tbh...

It was a estimate..Some days im online for a hour..Some I'm not...Just depends..

Edit
I eat by computer...And I do my homework online and send to teachers email addies...

RE: Error On Page While Posting Reply... by KeyStorm on 09-17-2004 at 10:16 PM

Well, that reduces the time at the computer to a 75% of you estimation: 9.25h. Man... gotta get some fresh air... :-/

You don't even eat with your family, you don't go out with your friends? ... that's really sad, I'm afraid to say...
I don't think that is somehing to be proud of.
I also sit many hours in front of the PC (today 12h), but I still plan my time to eat with my family, meet friends, do my homework whatsoever outside the comp. You ARE addicted if what you say is true.

Oh, please, any mod be so kind and split this offtopic thread, thanks

That would be me.

I only spend like 6 hours per day online though... I get bored after a few hours online and need to go do something else and kinda clear my mind...

Unless I'm actually having fun and keeping occupied... then I can stay in front of the PC for 12 hours straight... :refuck:

That's rare though.

RE: [split] spending too much time online by surfichris on 09-18-2004 at 04:33 AM

Most of the time I don't have dinner with my family. They don't seem to mind. I have far better and important things to attend to .

I do go out though, and I have a job too..

RE: [split] spending too much time online by RebelSean on 09-18-2004 at 04:41 AM

Yall are saying I am like "different" cause I spend alot of my time online? And that I sometimes dont eat with my family? Well then you must be calling over 300+ kids different in just my school cause they do the same thing I do...

Yeah, I read the, but as I knew they would be directly removed I ignored them (so I thought you did, too).
Why do I think so? Guillaume's post was just one line and your reply was like 3 lines, so I thought you meant that for everyone complaining for MSIE.

Now to the ~~off~~-splitted-topic.

Well, dear Sean,
Computer addiction is a bad thing... It restricts your social live because you don't meet your friends, you chat with them.

Well, it's one of the basic causes of computer addiction. The next step is that you need to get online at least a bit every day. Your mail, as long as it's not serious (like for work, expecting mail from family overseas) doesn't count. And if you don't work with that (if you were willing to work with the comp in te future you would've learnt some coding already).

To my quote again, it was not a joke, but it wasn't meant seriously enough. It's just a way to warn you that internet/computer addiction is one serious illness.

When does it become serious?
When you put being online in front of other relevant things like real social contact with your friends and family, reading, having a gf (or whatever you want to call it) and so on. Things that are an important part in your mental development. Not saying you're dumb, but it may cause you some social troubles.

This just about the illness, I can't say if you suffer it or not, but it could be that, if you try to spend as many hours as possible online, you could be a patient. That's all about it.

Thats a fair point. I have this dumbass rule, the one thing i put to the back of the list when being busy is sleep. I have been known to do 48hrs working/partying/socializing ( :refuck:

) without actually sleeping. Not good I know, but I think its sometimes a total waste.

RE: [split] spending too much time online by KeyStorm on 09-18-2004 at 06:32 PM

Well, but you don't work/party/socialize every day. Some sit at the computes 20 hours every day, that's to worry about :-/

Spending 20hrs a day partying/working/socializing or 20hrs a day sitting at a computer. The 2 are so opposite they're nearly as bad as each other...

Obsessed with being online , It reminds me of Sketch back in the day! Like when he first moved to Canada and he like didnt know anybody and stuff he spent 24/7 online , I would go to sleep at 10 and wake up at 6 in the morning for shcool and sketch is still on , He hadnt even gone to sleep yet :lol:

I was the same for a while though too...We have lifes now , We both have to wake up at like 5 in the morning and get home at like 5 (PM) and are to tired to do anything.
