Right, to begin with, if you've done something stupid, or have made blatant errors, I'll more than likely be perturbed. Congratulations, you've stoked my ire. I now hate you.

I am so confused with math. We're doing addition and subtraction of positive and negative integers. Can anyone please answer the following problems and explain how you got that answer? I rate high!

-20 - (-10) =

-35 - 16 =

There's also a sort of word problem one too. Tell me what the math sentence would be and the sum.

Start at -6. Face the negative direction. Move backward 2 units.


Please help! (link)
-20 - (-10) = -10 [Negative twenty, minus a negative, or plus, ten.]

-35 - 16 = -51 [Negative thirty-five, minus an additional sixteen.]

-6 - 2 = -4 [If you are standing on a physical number line, facing the negatives, as in going down farther: -7, -8, -9; now move backwards, from where you are facing, by two units. You should find yourself at negative four.]

ok, flashback like 2 years. there was this guy who i always thought was pretty cool, but i DID NOT like him. we weren't exactly friends... it was like one of those dumb " 6th grade-i-hate-you-i-hate-you-too" things. of course we didn't actully hate each other, we would just said that cause we were dumb little 6th graders (actually, we were always playing and goofing around and laughing all the time in class with each other.)but the thing is that around the middle of the year, all of his friends just started to tell me that he liked me a lot and stuff, but i never listened to them either cause i just didnt believe them or i didnt want to believe them, but i didnt.i knew they wouldnt just bother to tell me for no reason, though. anyway, that guy (let's call him W) and i never talked about it. i dont think he even knew his friends would tell me all that stuff.but during that summer, i just realized that i was really starting to like him. fast forward to about 4 months ago. all these rumors were going around about it and he ended up hearing about it from more than one person, and he suddenly started to avoid me and vice versa. then one time he told my friend " dile a ella que no se haga falsas ilusiones" which means "tell her not to make herself any false illusions". i was getting tired of it though, so my friend, being the dumbass that she is told him that i didn't like him, that he's a fricken dumbass, and a bunch of other crap and embarrassed him in front of his friends (haha) and said it was all from me. after a while, we started talking a little bit again, but only cuz we had to for school. anyway, he somehow (?) got a hold of a note my friend and i were sending to each other in class, saying all this time about me liking him. the next day my friend told me that she'd heard him tell someone that he ws never gonna talk to me again. i told her to tell him that he didnt have to worry either, i wasnt gonna talk to him either. we havent talked since, but we sometimes find each other occasionally glancing in the other's direction. my friends joke around that i stalk him, and one of his friend told him and he looks at me like i'm a psycho. what is up with him cause his friends still tell me that he likes me but he is just shy or wants to look cool or something, but i dont think so. he is a jerk since this year started and i want to stop liking him, but i cant change my feelings overnight. how do i get over him, get him to know i'm forgetting him (uhh....kinda!) and what's up with him... i mean all guys?! (link)
All guys are idiots.

Why did you type that in spanish if you were going to translate it?


Does anyone know where I can get a used drum set in good condition???For under $300 (link)
I believe that www.instrumentexchange.com has some fair deals.


i know this is a stupid question, but what kind of music is emo? (link)
By definition, the words "emo" and "music" should not be in he same sentence together.

Seriously, this is the definition: "The words emo and music should never be together in the same sentence, because emo, is, in every possible way, not music."

Ironically, they used it in their definition.


(It's crap.)


is it bad to pop your knuckles? Some people say it is and others say it isn't... (link)
What that noise is, is air getting into the space between your joints, which is otherwise devoid of air. Just picture that: an x-ray of your hand, and a big gap between your finger and the rest of your hand. Mmm.

When done correctly by someone, like a chiroproactor, it can be a good thing, but only in specific places, and in specific ways. So, in a more direct answer to your question: Yes it is bad to pop your knuckles. Stop it.


there is this guy i like that i send letters to but i was wondering should i ask him if he is single or would that be to rude of me? (link)
You already send him letters, and if that's not the ultimate injustice then I don't know what is.

Doesn't it somewhat depend on how far apart you are from each other? If he's down the block, make a jello mold and give it to him when you ask; if he's across the continental divide and then some, yeah sure ask away.


tonight i was at my boyfriends house and ive been with him since october.. 16/f.. just recently i fell in love with him and its an amazing relationship ..i was at his house tonight and he and i were messing around and i suddenly have never wanted to have sex so bad in my life.. im a virgin so im kind of opposed to it.. but i mean im in love with this guy and he means so much to me its just.. being a virgin i get so much respect and i love the respect i get from it.. im afraid if i lose it im gonna regret it somehow or another.. i dont know though.. i really dont know.. what should i do.. i mean i want to so bad because its just so .. there.. but i just.. dont know.. by the way hes a virgin to.. hes 18/m me-junior him-senior (link)
I don't know where you got to school, but congratulations to you for the abstinence club getting respect.

I'm going to answer this by using a quote from some crazy person my school picked up off the street to talk to us about abstinence, and sexual inactivity.

"Your virginity is like a gift, wrapped up in a little box complete with it's own bow. When you're ready, you can give that gift to someone to open, and it will be very special. It is yours to give, and if it is taken away, then you can rewrap it, and no one will ever know."

I believe she used garden gloves with velcro on them as well...


do you think it's better if a 17 year old dates a 25 old?! or do you think it's better for me wait until i'm 27 and he's 35?! (link)
Look at Hugh Hefner, he's what? One hundred and twelve now? Now look at the 6 blondes on his shoulder. Divide his age by ten; multiply by two; subtract six. That's their age.

Now look at all the disapproving parents.


I hate my sisters boyfriend and I want to break them up. Any ideas how to do it?

Oh and dont even try to tell me not to.. Im doing it with or without your advice!! Muahaha! (link)
Shoot one of them with a real bow and arrow.


hey i know this is a strange question, but how likely is it that a guy would put a condom on inside out? Because I kind of think my boyfriend did but I don't know if he would have to be really stupid to do it, or if like he noticed but he felt dumb so didn't say anything. Also if a condom is on inside out is it less effective? Thanks for your help!! (link)
I've never heard of a plastic that is permeable on one side, yet not on another.


um this sounds kind of dumb... but are big heads a turn-off or like a bad quality that would turn a guy away from a girl... my heads pretty big and i hate it but theres nothing i can do.. its a big deal to me but is it a big deal to other people.. what do you think, any advice? (link)
If you mean head as in the part of your body which contains you brain, then I've never heard any of my friends turn to me and say, "Holy shit, look at the head on that girl; who would ever go out with her?!"

I don't think that it makes a difference.

If it does... liposuction/lobotomy?


my stepdad... well he 'touched' my sister alot. like every night. my sister ended up moving away to live with mu dad. he has done it to me once when he was drunk. but that was years ago... the thing is, i'm confused cause i find myself defending him. i told one oof my friends and i keep saying that he was drunk, didn't know what he was doing, etc. why am i doing this??? i am fairly close to my stepdad (in a non sexual way) and i hate my sister badmouthing him. i dont know why. Please help me!!! (link)
Stockholme Syndrome.


Ohk i have two questions. Thanks.

First the dance game, i think its called Dance Dance Remix, does anyone know the estimated price of that?

And second.. I want an Ipod and today I went to the mall and checked themn out and i do not want an ipod shuffel but the mini ipod which is i think it said 150 and i was wondering, what other things do i need? Like my mom would make me get a case to hold it in, but How do u get the music on to it do you need a cord for ur computer and how much money would that be?
Thanks so mucH! (link)
Suggestion: Don't get the iPod mini.


It's a style thing, and is really more expensive when you work it out in a price per song ratio, as far as how much it would cost for each song you store on it.

Dance Dance Revolution's cost depends on what you're buying it for or who you're buying it from, and you can always just go to www.flashflashrevolution.com
which is a free flash re-make of the exact same game. The actual game should run around sixty, due to the fact that its a video game, and comes with the mat controller that it is so well known for.

Right, and for your iPod, it comes with just about everything you need.


wat does wtf mean?!?!??!?! (link)
You are not allowed to report me for this, because I am answering your question, and let me tell you, it isn't easy.

"Wtf" is slag, or internet jargon, used by many people who either frequent message boards, talk copiously on AOL Instant Messenger, or just have seen "The End of the World," the popular flash animation.

Now for it's meaning with no sugar coating: What the fuck. There I've said it. WTF = What the fuck.

In other words, another way for you to have written that question is "wtf does wtf mean?!?!??!?!"

Or, if you really wanted to become a "cyber-jockey", "leet h4xor", or other such thing, you would have replaced many of the exclamation points with ones. The number, I mean. Such as this: "OMGWTFBBQ!!!!1!11!!1!1one"

The importance of the other "one" written out, is quite...important. Without it, you would simply be seen as a "script-kiddie" and would be completely ignored, if not banned.

Aslo, since I'm sure you'll ask, OMGWTFBBQ means: Oh my God what the fuck barbecue. Yes the last three letters do stand for the very same.

Should you have any more questions of idiocy, or any other subject, feel free to drop one or two (but no more than two!) into my inbox.


Thanks, and have a great day trying to survive in this dog-eat-smaller-dog-with-down's world.


i have problems with the way im feeling.. like it sounds weird but i never know how to feel.. like i dont know who i am or what i want or what i like.. im always thinking of what other people like.. i try not to but im always just thinking so much.. please help (link)
Thinking isn't a bad thing always. Sounds to me like they are suggesting you go too much with faith. I don't suggest you throw all faith away and go copmletely on fact, Gods know we have enough Scientologists, but perhaps you should just do some sort of vague research project. Look for something, whatever you want. Pick the topic. Or have someone else pick for you. Then research it. Unlike school, if you find that the topic sucks, pick a new one. Just find something that you're interested in, there's no way that you aren't interested in anything. Once you find it, you can continue the studies further, and you'll feel much better. It will be a way to find what you like, what you want, perhaps what you want to do in the future.

If nothing else, you can try what I do a lot. Stop caring about other people for a while. Put yourself first. If you become a kind generous and subservient person, then face it, your life will suck.

But like I said, thinking isn't necessarily bad. Say you enjoy theology. Then you can think about that all day long, and you'll be thinking, and you'll enjoy it.

I don't know maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about, but as it says at the bottom of this page: "We do not promise accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any advice and are not responsible for content."
Feels good not to have responsibility, doesn't it?


ok, i went out with this girl for four months (13/m), and she dumped me over a small fight and tht she "didnt like me anymore". i thought i got over her, but now i love her again. she knows but doesnt like me back. idk wht to do im going crazy i love her so much (link)
I've read some of these other answers, and I think the general trend is that you are "too young to love."

I'm not saying I disagree.

You really need to sort out whether its love, or just infatuation. Oh right, thirteen...Is it love, or do you just like her a lot?

If you want advice on what to do, then you should decide what type of personality you have, and what you'd like to do.

A) You think about it and realise that its her fault for dumping you, of all people YOU, for such a small thing as a fight. Guys like you are a once in a lifetime chance. Now, you can spread a rumour about her, or get with someone else out of spite to show her you aren't hurt, and you didn't like her anyway.

B) You feel sorry thatit broke off when it did, and you know its your fault. Send her gifts until she signs a restraining order.

Notice a trend? Nice guys finish last perhaps?


Now for the real advice. There's really not much that you can do apart from getting over the entire ordeal. Perhaps it was love, perhaps it wasn't. No offense, but I'm betting it wasn't. You should decide though, are you going to be driven crazy by every girl you break up with? Or are you the type who thinks that high school relationships always end in happy marriages?


Does anyone know if I can I have more than one Iguana in my house?

~Nokomis~ (link)
There's a couple things I found interesting from this question. Firstly, I didn't know that iguana was a proper noun. Second, I didn't realise that the government put such strict laws on the number of same-species pets allowed in one house.

I suppose you could look for the law on the governemt's own website:
www.whitehouse.com

All in all, kind of a stupid question.


i was wondering..if your on the dance team/drill team whatever its called would you have to do cartwheels,handstands,backflips stuff like that? I want to be on the team i just cant do all of those things! THanks! (link)
It depends on whether "your" on the Drill Team or the Dance Team. The Drill Team will probably not have the cartwheels and other such things that you abhor. But the Dance would more than likely have them as part of the routines.

I don't really know if that's a standard, but, what the hell.
