I came here to answer computer questions. (This used to say "...and nothing more.")


What I meant was, I don't know how much help I would be with other things... NOT that I would be upset if you asked a non computer question!

Can I have honest help for a person who has so few options left. I don't want to explain my initiatives, but I want to tear my ACL in my knee. I WANT to. But, through all my trying, I just can't. How do I? I will rate you a 5 for an answer. (link)
Hello there,

If you are in the "getting out of gym class" stage, parents want me to run track but I hate it or something along those lines, I will tell you right now that the amount of anguish you are talking about here will outweigh anything else you would have to put up with today.

Knees are your friends, and no matter WHAT you think or feel right this moment, I give you my word you wwould regret this for the rest of your life.

If you want to talk about what has driven you to this end, e-mail me at: dangernerd@gmail.com or drop something in the inbox here.

Nothing you think is worth doing this for, will be worth doing this for in 10 years.

Please feel free to write,

DangerNerd.


why arent my questions going through?
its been like 3 hours
im really mad
please speed it up yall or im not going to get a paid account or pay anymore money towards yall and il give bad publicity
:( HURRY IT UP! (link)
It is unwise to threaten the site like this.

"...pay anymore money..." ?

What money have you paid here? You are 13, and have asked 10 questions in 30 minutes.

The site is free, please be patient.

Hello there,

Please be patient. If you asked all those questions in a space of 30 minutes, I can guarantee one thing: You are ABSOLUTELY NOT ready to have sex.

I am actually considering raising the delay for questions to 12 hours since some really bad ones are getting through un-checked.

Thanks for writing.

HELLO!

Did you get my letter? I got yours, and really appreciated it.

Make sure I have a current address and a list of allowed items, and make it snappy. I am in a mood to pack a box(no pun intended). :-)

If you haven't found out yet, you will NEVER believe what has happened here... I have taken over the site here. It now runs on my server and all the changes discussed are being implemented. :-)

Hi, I was looking up questions and I came across this REALLY stupid answer to a question. The person was obviously distressed, and hinted at suicidal tendencies in the question. My question is whether you can do anything about people who are only on advicenators to cause other people pain.
Maybe people who got way too many 1s could be reviewed?

But seriously, check out "unconventionality". Short, Sharp, Dangerous answers.

People who come here with real problems get advice like "Suicide" from this person?

Silent one,

I need to know, ASAP what the question and the user you are talking about would be.

I would like to try and head it off before they see it if possible.

Please provide the actual info when you report something like this.

Sorry that I'm dense but I completely don't understand how to get into the chat session on friday. Please explain, in plain english(no computerspeak) how this is done. Thanks. (link)
Go here:

http://advicenators.com/chat.php

Click one of the connect buttons.

It would help me if you would tell me why you had to write and ask this.

I didn't feel the need to change it, until you wrote this.

Help me to understand why clicking the link on the left that says "Chat Room" and pressing "connect" is too complicated, and not "plain english."

Thanks,

DangerNerd.


ok well this is for the guys... is there a certain hair color that you prefer on girls? like do u tend to go for blondes...brunettes... red heads... please give me your opinion because i'm thinking of dying my hair and i'm not sure on what color but i want to see what guys like first. thanks! *i rate* (link)
Personally, I think redheads are wonderful if the color is done right.

I think brunettes are much more attractive than FAKE blondes.

Well iv been with this girl 4 2 years and she says she wants to wait till she gets married to have sex,but i cant wait that long i think i waited long enough what the fuck do i do (link)
Be honest:

Tell her you are just in it for the sex (obviously) and don't respect her needs.

If you don't want to be with someone with these kind of values, it is time to leave her and find a slut.

Loose women are easy to find, women like the one you describe are rare indeed. You don't sound like you deserve someone like that, so just tell her the truth and end it.

Maybe next time she will find someone who will not just lead her on for two years only to break her heart because he is horny and hasn't figured out what his hand is for.

I have a friend, well he's actually a sisters friend, but I would also consider him my friend and I'm sure he would do the same. He's in 9th grade and I'm in 10th. One day while we were out we were on the topic of God and he said he didnt believe in God. He says he thinks Jesus existed but that he was just a normal guy. He said if God existed then he wouldn't have diabetes.

Now I want to educate him about God and help him accept him into his life. I feel it is my duty as a Christian to guide him to a better life with God, because you are supposed to help the people who don't believe. He is a really sweet boy, and I told him that I was going to teach him and he said "you can try but it won't happen" so if he said I could try I'm going to make every effort too!

My problem is I don't know how to approach it. How should I start off with this teaching and showing? I've considered asking my pastor but I decided to come here first. Thanks for any help! (link)
Hello there,

Okay, I am a catholic and christian. Have been for my whole life. I go to church every sunday, and pray every once in a while, not as much as I should. I do believe in Jesus Christ and have strong faith, but lately I have become obsessed with exorcism rituals, paranormal, and OBE's(out of body experience rituals) I have tried many times to have them and they actually work. Sometimes I feel like something is trying to enter my body when I do this, but before hand I come out of it like Im fighting it off.. I am scared that I could possibly one day become possesed myself. After I saw the movie The exorcism of Emily Rose it really made me intrested...so I am asking is this wrong and what can I do to stop this before I get deeper in? (link)
Let me ask you a question to get an idea of where you are in all this:

Do you have anything going on that would be considered a compulsion? There is mounting evidence a direct link between dabbling in the occult and self mutilation.

Do you have any symptoms like that? Something you wish you could stop, but you cannot?

Add additional info to your question, and I will check later.

As far as saying "Jesus" over and over... Try "Jesus Christ, the son of God. Yeshua Hamashiach." (Yeah-shoe-a Hah-mah-she-ach Best I can do)

That is Christ's Hebrew name. His real name.

Now if you are actively seeking out communication with demonic entities, you will only improve when you decide to stop.

If you really want this to stop, get on your face and pray. Humble yourself before God, and repent of getting yourself into this.


I will include a link about self harm and the links therin in case that applies:

If you want to know more about posession and what to do:

Here is a site devoted to stopping demonic attacks. No matter where you THINK you are in this, you need to read this site:

Is there anyway for columnist to change the format of their usernames? (link)
Please check the FAQ first for stuff like this:

http://www.advicenators.com/faq.php?f=39

Thanks.


My new modem shows my connection speed as 115Kbps, but I thought that was the speed the serial port ran at?

Is my ISP just happier with this modem? (link)
Hello there,

The modem is reporting the speed at which the computer is communicating to the modem itself... Not how fast it is talking to the internet provider you use.

To make it show the more useful numbers, open a terminal program such as hyperterm for windows and paste this in:

AT&FS95=1&W

... then press enter.

That will change the modem's configuration file and store the change so that it will, from then on, show you the right speed.

There's someone on this site who's really bugging me, her name's Barbara_Conker and she never gives real advice just directs people to her weirdo zombie site, in fact, she's here under complete false pretences. What to do? (link)
Already taken care of.

Thanks for the report.

Call the police, now.

Nobody took the kids at Columbine seriously, and you see where that went.

There are things you should NEVER say to someone else, unless you mean it... "I'll kill you!" is chief among them.

why are all the good people on the site being banned? anyone know? (link)
Hello there,

Good users are not being banned. People who can't manage the rules are being banned. People who tell people to kill themselves, their family, etc... They go away.

Some people here maintain columns here, dozens of them, for no other reason than to annoy and torture the people who come here seeking answers to serious questions. Those people are easy to spot, they have never given a single helpful answer to anything.

People who are underage get sent away, for obvious reasons.

If you have a specific case of a user you think was good, as in a real asset to the site, would you please e-mail me their username?

If there is anyone here who has been banned for no reason, you just let me know and it will get fixed.

what does it mean to hook up? (link)
"Hook Up" = Have sex with no relationship.

As in "No Strings."

It used to mean just getting together and hanging out with friends.


i heard this song on the radio and i thought it was funny, but i cant find it when i look it up. it was a rap song i think, and the guy was singing about how he went by his friends house to eat 'and the chicken tastes like wood' anyone know what song? lol =] thanksss (link)
A rap song you think?

How about the song that made rap a major recording era? The one, the only: Rapper's Delight. Sugarhill Gang. Get the 17 minute extended 12" cut if you can find it. :-)

Do you think its okay to teach your child to hit someone back if they hit him first? (link)
Absolutely. Self defense and the defense of others are two things I find noble and helpful.

That being said, I would reccomend teaching them a primarily non-striking technique such as Judo or Aikido.

Hitting leads to injuries. Injuries lead to lawsuits and scars that never heal. :-(

If the goal is to protect yourself, then damage to your opponent isn't the goal, neutralizing your opponent is.

I will tell you from vast experience that putting someone who throws a punch at you on the ground and helpless by way of a wrist-lock is more effective than beating them near to death.

Embarassment is what takes care of bullies, not beating. All your child needs to do is make it known that he/she isn't going to be the bully's punching bag, and the rest will take care of itself.


I have a new jeep and it has those removable plastic windows. Does anyone have any tips on how to clean them without scratching them up? (link)
Look for "Novus Plastic Polish."

It comes in different numbers (1-9 I think) and different formulas are for different plastics and scracth sizes.

The stuff is fairly cheap, and works miracles.

You can use #6 to remove scratches from music and data CDs!
