2018-11-28 at 3:02 AM UTC in will I be poor forever?Okay, are you trolling now?
I can't quite tell for sure.
Starting an oil company requires a tremendous investment.
You need rigs, workers, land, drilling rights, etc.
And then you need to deal with distribution, as well as marketing yourself against other oil companies with long and reputable histories.
If you're being serious and not trolling, I would suggest you start small.
Nothing wrong with having big ambitions, but you have to temper them with some realism. -

2018-11-28 at 2:47 AM UTC in will I be poor forever?Well there are two major schools of thought on the subject:
1. "It's impossible to just 'pull yourself up from your bootstraps'." People who are born poor will always remain poor, due to capitalism or something like that.
2. Your lot in life is malleable and can be influenced by the decisions you make, and the things you truly commit yourself to.
Personally, I lean more to the second way of thinking.
I'm a self-taught computer programmer, using freely-available YouTube videos, a few books here and there, and a whole lot of dedication to hobby projects to gain experience.
If your career is not up to your ambitions/standards, you can always resolve to change that and put in some hard work and a little ingenuity.
You will also have to take risks.
But it is, at least in my opinion, possible to transcend from rags to "riches". -

That's exactly it.
And whenever he makes that ultimate transition from redeemable, morally ambiguous young kid, to full-blown antisocial "monster", it's not exactly a transformation you can run in reverse.
So yeah, sad, but true. -

Originally posted by Technologist Nope, I don’t think it’s harsh. It’s obvious from his posts that his parents pay absolutely no attention to him, so they will not get him the help he needs.
It would not be my son because I’d get him the help he needs. My son was hell on wheels as a teen. I had to make some tough decisions, to get him the help he needed, and some of them tore me up inside; but he has turned out to be a good young man. Even now, if I saw him going downhill, you can bet I’d stick my fat nose in it.
So because you were a good mother, your son deserves a better life.
But esbity clearly has a shitty mother (and father), therefore he deserves a shitty life?
It just doesn't seem right. -

Originally posted by Technologist Reality is……he will never get help. So he may as well be locked up.
Isn't that kind of harsh though?
I mean, imagine you had a kid like this, who exhibited all the signs of a sociopath from an early age. Would you be comfortable with simply "locking them up" in a cage?
The fact that he's talking about keying cars, for example, is a good sign, because at least it's not torturing kittens or starting fires (yet).
He also regularly makes threads questioning the epistemological basis of morality. This shows that he can be taught the difference between right and wrong. It will just take a lot of effort and therapy.
I truly believe he is redeemable at this current point - just not for long, though, sadly. -

Originally posted by Technologist Esbity, I hope you are thrown in jail one day soon. Your time is coming. You are nothing but a con man that takes advantage of innocent people. You probably somehow rationalize what you do. It’s evil, and karma is gonna take you out! See ya!
I honestly believe he needs psychiatric help. I feel like this is a budding sociopath who is still in the redeemable phase where they are somewhat aware of the negative moral implications of their actions.
This kid needs help. ASAP.
If he doesn't get it soon, he could turn out to be a serial killer or something of that nature. -

I could just imagine a young PhD or MD graduating and being known in the academic community for their paper titled:
"Effective Penis Weight Estimation as Derived using Volume and Known Temperature Data: A Look at a Suitable Alternative to the 'Cut-it-Off-And-Weigh-It' Method Proposed in Earlier Research". -
2018-11-28 at 1:47 AM UTC in A gift in sheeps clothing is the ultimate disgrace...Wtf?
First off, why do you key people's cars?
I'll never get that kind of behavior.
It is the very definition of antisocial.
You get ZERO gain from keying someone's car, yet you do them hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars of damage.
So to sum up: Fuck you. -

Uhh, you're the one that made the comment about "OP's mamma".
You aren't beingostrich-sizedostracized, your character game is weak son, so a lot of people just don't like you on here.
I'm starting to see why. -
