Mean People

[tlarkin]

I will give you a professional tip. Having sat through pointless power points, key notes, training videos, etc for work, here is one thing that has always annoyed me and annoys everyone else for the most part.

KILL THE AUDIO ON YOUR CAMERA!

Then take the video into a post production app like final cut, imovie, or premiere, and do a voice over with a decent microphone. This makes it sound a billion times better and you can edit and cut the film to get rid of those akward pauses people make.

 

[tlarkin]

The mic was using the isight.

Which is a crappy mic. Look into what is called a condenser microphone. Expensive, but totally and completely worth it. Also, edit your stuff, and at least make it look like you know what you are talking about.

Any moron can stand in front of a camera and spew up what he calls words and sentences. Trust me, I have sat through some painful power points.

Everyone knows that anyone with the money can build an awesome system - and yours is pretty awesome - but what makes me so angry is that you need none of the stuff you've got. As has been said before, you need a Playstation or a 'cheap Dell' at most.

I dont get why you think that he needs a PS or Cheap DELL. My computer is great, does it anger you that im 13 and can afford (with my own money) a nice computer? As a matter of fact, im going to work this summer and get myself a nice laptop? (maybe a better gpu for my desktop ).

I dont get it, why are you guys so angry?

That post was actually in reference to his post - he was insinuating that a Dell wouldn't suffice his needs. Which is completely untrue for a 12 y/o. And as for you, great, with your own money that's awesome and I wish you all the best. But this guy is different and it seems as though he gets all this stuff off his parents, and has no need for it. Then he posts a video gloating about it all and what he has lined up to 'get'.

I worked 1/3 of mine for doing my dads workplace tax'es = 950 Euro and got the rest as my B-day present.

Also langers2k7 a 700Euro dell would add up to 3,560Euros with all the crap hardware in it and yea a Inspiron can really play crysis can't it. (Not saying a macbook pro can but you can do more with a macbook pro.

It is not the fact that you have the nice system that makes me angry - that's none of my business if your parents choose to buy you all of those nice things. I am, however, angry (and I believe that almost everyone who watched your video has had the same reaction) that you feel the need to post a video in which you blatantly gloat. Read my first post again.

Ok show me a dell that runs mac without illegal issues. And I paid 1/3 of it. And i'm paying for what I have to get. So if you also have a problem for me saving up for what I have to get you should see a doctor.

Where do you get your money from?

It was you who mentioned the Dell to start with, so don't try to hold me to that. I have no idea why you want to run OSX anyway, but that's a separate matter.

 

[PabloTeK]

Apparently he did his dad's work taxes. Not quite sure if that's totally ethical.

 

[Langers2k7]

No. His like adding up what the blah blah blah blah is for his business.

That, to me, sounds like an excuse for him to give you more money. But whatever, I know different families do things differently - so I'll leave it at that. But my final piece of advice is that for the time being you should just enjoy your possessions, and NOT post any more cringeworthy videos.

I have been saying this for years, rich people are just like poor people but with money. If I was rich i would buy all kinds of crap I didn't need. It is just what we are, we are consumers.

Bashing the kid because he has a nice laptop is pretty lame. Who the **** cares? Get over it!

He came here asking for advice on why he got bad comments on youtube and I think we all already answered his questions. No one takes a 12 year old, or a teenager seriously really. That is just how it is.

Indeed. And it's obvious that you haven't read the thread/don't understand why I and others were angry.

I am not going to read pages of teenagers complaining about how they don't have a $2000 laptop. Get over it, life isn't fair. I wasn't bought a sports car when I was a kid from my parents. In fact I had to get a job and my parents helped me pay for half of my first car, which to me was awesome.

Get over it, quit crying, because all of you are acting like babies who didn't get their way.

I admit his youtube video lasted about 5 seconds on my screen before I killed the window, but I am not going to sit here and ridicule a 12 year old. I am not a bully, nor do I care what some kid has or does with their laptops. It doesn't affect my life at all.

Yeah, because that's the way a forum works - you jump to the last page without reading anything that has been said beforehand and then make a completely irrelevant point, before insulting me after I explain that you don't understand. Gj man, gj.

 

[tlarkin]

I've read the whole thread and I posted near the beginning and the middle and now this will be my last post on this topic.

The kid asked for help and I think he got all the constructive criticism he needs and knows how to fix it or lay off the subject, or better yet, just accept the fact that no one takes any kid serious.

Kill Bill, I agree with tlarkin, I think you have all the reasons why people are mean now. For your age you certainly have my admiration for your learning and the balls to upload a video of "questionable" content but it's time to move on now. This has already turned into a slanging thread and at least you've showed maturity in not responding in the same way.

Take stock and think twice on the next one.

 

[Langers2k7]

I suppose that's true. I shouldn't really have taken offence at his video.

Still, there's nothing wrong with having a rant at the rich people every now and then, even if they are pre-pubescent

I'm don't see why how "nice" (subjective point of view) your laptop is is relevant. Personally, If I somehow came into the possession of a MacBook, I'd sell it ASAP, or perhaps drop it in the garbage or donate it to charity.

Also, OP, it's unfortunate that other children here are encouraging your behavior. I know you're trying to be nice to each other by telling one another to "prove" something to those "hatas", but this simply is not reality. What you are doing is pointless and stupid, and you will regret it when you are older.

Lastly, you are not "courageous" for uploading these videos, nor do you have "balls". You lack the self awareness to see how painfully awkward you are. You just don't have the capacity to understand how much of a fool you're making of yourself.

Fortyways, do you like to walk all over everyone's parade? do you have some sort of issues with people under the age of 18?

LOL I agree totally!!
