For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

    I just discovered this morning that my nephew is a noob then.

    This actually perfectly fits. He’s been homeless. Let him stay with me. He got a job pretty quick. But today, his fourth day, he was late because he set his alarm for 7:30 instead of 6:30.

    I’ve been unconsciously treating him as a newb, because he acts like a teenager. It just automatically activates a father instinct for me.

    But he’s almost 30. He’s had plenty of time to figure this shit out.

    We went and got groceries last night. He bought almost nothing but simple carbs. Most of that coming from straight sugar. Like, fruit punch drinks and shit. He eats like a six year old at a candy store.

    Well, not quite that bad. But bad. And his health is fucked up. He sees no connection between subsisting on simple carbs and having health problems, addiction, etc.

      No excuse. Alarms can be set with a recurring theme or planned to a specific day.

        I suggested that he might set a recurring alarm and he refused on the basis that he goes to sleep at different times each night.

        His job is at the same time every day! His bus is at the same time every day!

        Fuck.
