'Beta' in Hindi means 'son' or 'kid'.

[BetaB17]

I figured that out after finding tons of Indian beta memes. I mean, I'm not foolish enough to believe I was the focus of an entire meme genre

You are the B17th son I guess.

[BetaB17]

Indian memes are too dank for me

[ProphetDragon]

And your food is for me. To me it is all Valyrian Sweetrolls and Firecakes.

[Linkuya]

I've definitely seen an increase in the number of "guests", but not a huge uptick in posts.

I figured as much. Quieter release than I thought it'd be, but after a few hours of playing the new edition on PC I can understand why. Can't complain when it was free, though.

[MetaCthulhu]

Yeah, the rerelease is about as popular as Skyrim was after six months of already being out.

By the gods, today is my brother's birthday. This means today is the only day when he can do anything to us and we cannot object. I don't worry about myself but this day spells certain doom for my little best friend - just joking.

He's already been prancing around, that little baby boy of 12. Umm... He's not a kid anymore if I recall correctly.

How good were the days of yore, when I was 12 and he was 7 going on 8. I looked exactly like him.

[Crawldragon]

He's not a kid anymore if I recall correctly.

Said the kid, to the younger kid.

Has anyone seen/is anyone planning to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? I saw it this evening, and quite liked it.

[BetaB17]

I want to see it, if that answers the question

[Cassandra]

The "fantastic beasts" truly are fantastic. There's this one part of the movie where they walk around looking at a bunch of them, and I loved it. Beautiful animation.

[ProphetDragon]

He's not a kid anymore if I recall correctly.

Said the kid, to the younger kid.

Technically I didn't say it to him, I'm saying this to you. And besides, no matter how old he grows, he will always be a kid to me.

It's only for our 'channingness' that all girls are attracted to us. And I am proud of my little brother, no matter how big a bully cave troll he be for my best friend.

He looks exactly like me. 5'1", medium body, pale skin, dark brown hair and eyes, and unnaturally strong and fast. Also, equally cute and handsome and wanted by half the girls of the class.

[BetaB17]

and wanted by half the girls of the class.

The more and more I see this statement, the more and more I believe I can count the total sum with just one hand

It may take you twice that number, because you don't have eight fingers.

[BetaB17]

Soooo.. Half then? Or should I just go ahead and use the Square root? I am so confused

[ProphetDragon]

Use two hands. It's as simple as that. And stop acting like a robot.

[BetaB17]

Use two hands.

I'll use half of one

And stop acting like a robot.

The day I get call a robot, is the day I [secretly turn out to be a robot]

[ProphetDragon]

Use two hands.

I'll use half of one

You need 3.2 times that amount unless you have 16 fingers.

And stop acting like a robot.

Technically I said, "Stop acting like a robot." Then I would say BetaB 1.7 is not very well equipped with a dictionary. Click Here to Download Oxford Dictionary.

[BetaB17]

You need 3.2 times that amount.

So.. My thumbs then? [&@%!], I guess I did need both hands, or am I still doing it wrong?

[ProphetDragon]

Better, just use your head. No, don't bang it on the wall. Just count the numbers.

My classmates say my brother is basically my own self, we look alike and even our IQ matches. The only difference between us is that our behavior does not match. He's everything I am but just that he's like my own thoughts.

With Girls: I have only one girlfriend, he has eight.
In Arguments: I use silence and smirks to intimidate, he raises his fists intimidating others.
With Friends: I have four friends, he has forty.
With Problems: I think with my brain, he relies on his instincts.
With Mom: I get what I want through manipulation, he cries till he gets it.

It's only for our 'channingness' that all girls are attracted to us.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Please, tell me your secrets, O chick-magnet! Tell me by what method you have acquired the affection of every girl in your class, for this is a totally believable feat, especially for a nerd who's obsessed with The Elder Scrolls and the Game of Thrones television series.

No. You're still a kid. And that's the point I was making.

[ProphetDragon]

Especially for a nerd who's obsessed with The Elder Scrolls and the Game of Thrones television series.

Also Lord of The Rings, and Star Wars and Starseeds.

Please, tell me your secrets, O chick-magnet! Tell me by what method you have acquired the affection of every girl in your class.

I have no secrets. I already told you everything.

You don't think that your formidable intelligence has anything to do with it?

I spoke publicly for the first time this week. Which is a big deal because I absolutely dreaded the idea of it before I stood up on stage. I had to as part of a group project and a lecturer insisting that everyone in every group speak. It went well anyways; once I got the first sentence or two out I could relax. So, after that, I don't think I'm going to be so scared of public speaking. Afterwards, I took two minutes answering a question so I could fit in everything that my the others in my group missed out on - that also actually happened to be crucial to the argument we were making.

Which reminds me, I hate group projects.

As someone with some experiences with public speaking, I find it never gets easier, you just get better at speaking. Public speaking is a skill, it can be taught and learned. That's why I think every teacher should teach their students to do it.
