do you have cubes that you're gonna throw away

[Caleb Valenzuela]

Ok, guys, let's all just chill.



@Clock_Enthusiast makes a good point here. There is a difference between begging and asking. A lot of it comes down to word choice, which is generally decided by how you view others. We should remember that @samonty is 13 (probably). He/she/they still have a lot of maturing to do, and he/she/they claim to have ADHD. These are all challenges that he/she/they are going to have to overcome when interacting with people, and for some, it takes longer.



This is a reaction from someone who is a. extremely entitled b. easily annoyed c. trying to get a reaction.

We should not be responding to this with:






This can/will provoke @samonty even further. I don't think that we want a community that acts like this, so let's all act more mature here.

I am not saying that @samonty is in the right or that everyone else is wrong, but that we should all act better here.

@samonty doesn’t even need to listen to anything we say if it offends him.

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

I don't need anyone trying to be my frickin parent!!!! SO SHUT YOUR FLIPING MOUTH!!!

we are trying to help you here but you just won’t listen to the TRUTH. It’s a given fact in life that nothing just comes to you. You have to give something in return.

now this is what i pay my internet for

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

I would give my broken TV3 but i’m not gonna ship something to a random 13 year old who wants a gan 12 leap while having to pay his mom because he broke her TV and needs to pay for his dog’s vaccinations. Sorry @samonty (i live across the world btw)

I don't care if they are broken if you have a cube that you are going to throw away, don't do that, cause I can use them. no matter what

one of my cubes got ran over by a truck in the summer of 2023. its a 5 dollar nexcube that's probably at your local walmart. Do you really want that? how are gonna use it?

Is it me or does this sound extremely ai generated

it's just the wording, but alr.

Well to be fair, I do use AI for like everything, so my sentence structure is similar to open ai-chats like ChatGPT.

I 100% agree. But what we are doing is currently 'feeding' him. If we don't give him any reactions, he is less likely to do immature things in the future.

There are plenty of thread where @samonty can buy cubes. It sounds like he needs to pay off some debt to his mother, which is a good life lesson. I used a 10 cube until I had full PLL memorized then I rewarded my self with a slightly better cube. But I also have learnt lessons about money management so I had the money to buy the tings I want.

@samonty has some maturing to do, and we should help the best way we can, sometimes we can do that by just ignoring it.

This is a cube I’ve had in the trash for a while, I’d be willing to give this

I looooooooove giving cubes from my trash

Spoiler: The Big News

If you’re wondering, this came from the trash folder of my iPad!!!!!

It can be hard when you are younger and don't have access to funds, but are falling head first into a new hobby and want to buy as much as possible to ingrain yourself into it.

My recommendation is to relax a bit, try and focus on the puzzles that you have. I know you said you had issues with videos, but maybe try some written guides. Look onto blind/fmc solving. Maybe think of some alternative ways to earn a bit of cash.

 

[CrazyCuber1213]

Sure, if someone by themselves says they will help you for free, let them, but you should not beg for free things when it s clear that no one wants to help you for free. If you have to beg for it, then no one will want to give you anything.

He only wants to trade, because he is 800$ in debt

 

[Eric4112]

Yeah he is banned from the forums so dont think hes gonna respond

 

[abunickabhi]

Throwing away some old Rubik's brand cubes. I am sure no one here needs them even for collection purposes.

give them to some local schoolkids or something like speedcubereview does

 

[abunickabhi]

ahhh yes thats a good idea,

I guess for some underprivileged kids, something is better than nothing
Also the fight against smartphone addiction is a good point to pitch cubing to kids.
