Learning When to Stop

This is something I have problems with. Tips? Suggestions? How do you learn this.

This is also an apology to all who were having fun practicing their Spanish. I was being stupid. I feel bad about the thread closing because it was my fault. Unfortunately, I can't change what I did. So I will have to settle with this, even though it doesn't make what I did any better. Sorry. Also, If you want to practice your spanish in a fun way, go look at the PC and Console Gaming part of this forum. I have posted about a game that is in spanish and everyone that plays it speaks spanish.

It's one of those things you learn over time. Although your situation is a little vague, could you give any other examples other than the Spanish thread?

I just sometimes go over the top in the rush of the moment. After when I have time to think about it, I realize it is stupid. For example, when I argue with my parents at first they might say, "Will talk about it later." but I keep arguing. Then, they get annoyed and say, "No you can't do it (whatever I am trying to argue)" Like going to the movies with friends at first they might think maybe but if I don't stop it will become a no. When I think about it, it seems like it would be easy to stop, but for some reason it isn't.

This is fucking stupid. Follow the rules. Nobody needs a fucking apology from you. This is far more annoying than just leaving it alone. If there is a problem, you will get warned. Closing a topic is somebody saying that the topic could have no future intrinsic value outside of spam. Like, for instance, I'm about to do.

*closed*

I'm opening this.

Slaps, the topic is about learning when to stop yourself in certain situations, how to have self control, etc.. it's a valid topic for discussion.

The apology was a side-note, it wasn't the main focus. If this doesn't' develop into a decent debate, it'll most likely sink soon enough. If it derails, well, let's see if that happens first.

No need to lock it just yet.

Learning to know when to stop is simple:
  • Put yourself in situations where you should know when to stop.
  • Fail to stop.
  • Regret this.
  • Repeat ad nauseum
Some people call this process "high school."

While I agree that this could be an all right thread, and that it should sink naturally, I mostly closed this because a) It's ridiculous to say that this thread is anything but a public way of dealing with his personal issues, and b) it was more of a dramatic gesture than anything.

Hey, uh, guys? Um... purely hypothetically, here... how would you get rid of a dead body? Like, purely hypothetically, if you had to do it, how would you do it?
And let's say you have to do it, like, really fast, and all you have with you is, um... let's see... her and her clothing, a baseball bat, bolt cutters, a tire iron, a laptop, and a car? How w-would you pull that off, hypothetically?

Um, first effective answer wins! So, um, hurry and get them in! Fast! Like, really fast!

Also, a completely tangential and unrelated issue: the life of a prostitute is, just, like, generally worth less than an average person, right? So, like, it's not so bad, necessarily, if one dies? Like, it'd be worse if it was like an actual person, and she was probably miserable anyway, and... and...

More information needed where are you in this 'hypothetically' situation are you near any large bodies of water, swamps that contain crocodiles or alligators, farms, grave yards, chemical factory's, large gorges or ravines or anything else that could be of use for body disposal. Can your car go off road does the laptop have access to the internet etc.

For now try and get hold of some sort of large knife or saw you should be able to get one at most hardware stores say your working in construction to avoid suspicion. Break here bones with the bolt cutters and saw her into manageable chunks (7 or 8) and wrap them in waterproof plastic bags or if you can't get hold of any use her clothes. Put the pieces in the trunk of your car wash of any blood splatters and thoroughly clean the crime scene. Leave town and make your way to a relatively close but not too close disposal site which will depend as above if you live in an area of poorly patrolled borders where you think you can get across a state or national border without having your car checked do so. Good luck and yes she's hardly a person.

Is atob being... I'm not quite sure what word to use here. Serious? Or are you referencing something I'm not aware of? i.e. Why're you swearing at random all of a sudden?

Oh my god.

Well, naturally, you set it on fire, disperse the ashes, and smash the bones. Carry the teeth with you or hide them. They won't break easy and they can be used for identification. Preferably all of this happens somewhere far away from civilization where nobody will know about the fire. That's where the car comes in.

What? Of course not. Haven't you read the fucking UDHR?

Apparently not. As I am thoroughly confused.
