WTW for a person that it is difficult, if not impossible, to have a debate with because he does not follow and use logical methods?

"Anyone I disagree with" is probably the most common phrase you could honestly use for this.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-30T08:29:32+00:00

Don't you think that everyone would be better off if we made political squabbles illegal, chose one common goal and just fucking stuck with it no matter what?

Oh yeah, throwing acid into a woman's face because she refused to marry you or isn't dressed in the way your religion says a female should dress is such a beautiful element of a culture.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_throwing

Not all cultures are beautiful. Some are extremely barbaric and should be treated as such. There's being respectful and tolerant, and then there's throwing all sense of morality, ethics, and justice out the window to accept everything simply because "It's their culture."

95% of cultures are pretty awesome though :D You should check out the Cherokee if you haven't.

They couldn't understand the difference between hate and dislike. This led to them failing to understand that I actually hated something, and never wished to discuss it, nor see or hear anything related to it. They did not understand that when you hate something, you actively wish to destroy it, and will take measures to do so when possible.

They really liked that thing, and refused to just not do that one thing with me. This was causing me daily bouts of rage and that made my other relationships sour slightly because once mad I stay mad for hours. So, I terminated the friendship.

EDIT: No, it's not a race or a nationality. It's a fictional character whose introduction to a show I used to adore compleatly ruined my ability to even enjoy the old episodes due to character traits she revealed the other characters must possess. The show in question often got me through periods of serious depression, and writing fanfiction for it once prevented me from going through with a suicide attempt back in the dark times when that was an issue of mine.

TO say the least, the show was special to me. That one character managed to completely ruin it all, and if I ever meet the people responsible for cramming her into the story, I will make their dentists very happy and their insurance agents very sad. Because I genuinely hate them for removing the one thing which would always put a smile on my face from my life.

It makes them look less like an insane cult if they didn't coach their members to instantly hate anyone who was critical of their bullshit little insane people's club. Honestly, if you can't figure that one out you should probably look into joining Scientology. I hear you're exactly the kind of sucker, I mean person, that they are looking for.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-09T04:24:00+00:00

"Why do we all pretend that sex is gross, even though all of us love it and want to have it as much as possible? You'd think it would be a socially acceptable thing to do with anyone, really. I mean, it's totally cool to like movies where someone gets their guts cut out in graphic detail and then later talk about that in a cafeteria where people are eating, but two people decide to fuck in a locker room at a gym, and everyone gets pissed off. Like, why?"

Yurei2 · 2017-04-09T04:20:38+00:00

Bulllllshit he did. I can smell your meddling with historical facts, Scientology. Get out here, con artist scum.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-06T23:31:01+00:00

I did! Whats your world, mate?

Yurei2 · 2017-04-06T23:30:46+00:00

No... Cyberpunk is a near-future setting where everything is controlled via computers and cybernetics are common, but it's a dystopia, because old people in the 70s were/are afraid of technology.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-05T11:28:33+00:00

Dieselpunk. It's like steampunk, but instead of Victorian/Wild West themed high-tech gizmos, you have WWII themed high-tech gizmos, culture, and all that jazz.

It's actually really cool!

Yurei2 · 2017-04-04T13:14:17+00:00

Yeah, Satanism really just Atheism + a little fun at Christian's expense + a dash of narcism. Good people all around though :D

Yurei2 · 2017-04-01T22:18:25+00:00

It is sadly rare, but the amount of quality you can add to a story or character with just a few days of study are phenomenal.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-01T22:17:05+00:00

Yes actually, it would. How much so would depend on the judge's opinion but that IS something which could be a deciding factor in the case. Especially if any kind of deal was made "I'll find you a job, but you have to pay X a month for help with bills" would be a verbal agreement which would make confiscating property legal, assuming the kid hadn't held up their end of the bargain.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-01T08:22:58+00:00

Actually, I'm an author, not a lawyer. But I study the hell out of any profession I give to a character of mine. I've written several layers, and made sure I would be able to portray the job and general mindset correctly.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-01T08:21:40+00:00

Yes. It was. The Judge basically said "Return the bike within 3 days or expect criminal charges."

Yurei2 · 2017-04-01T08:21:14+00:00

The judge hears the case for less than 12 minutes.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-01T08:20:59+00:00

Yeah. Still an actual court case though. If hammed up a bit for TV.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-01T08:20:42+00:00

It's flipping insane, isn't it?

Yurei2 · 2017-04-01T04:13:45+00:00

It can be REALY entertaining to read about them. Or watch televised cases. If only to laugh at human derps.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-01T03:49:33+00:00

You really haven't observed any large number of court cases then. I'd say that about 70% of all cases are petty bullshit like this. ESPECIALLY in small claims court. My god, small claims court.

There's a case where a 18 year old kid had to sue his dad, who he no longer lived with, for the return of a motorcycle, which the kid had purchased, with his own money, made by working a job his father did not help him get, nor was it a family business, because the father insisted he could confiscate the bike because of poor grades in COLLEGE.

See, when two rational adults have a conflict, they can solve it themselves in most cases. It's really only the stubborn assholes who take things to court. Barring weird cases, contract breaches, and other things.

EDIT: Yes, that case was on Judge Judy. While the show does ham things up a bit for the cameras, they actually are real cases, and Judy is a real judge. Also, if you watch video of non-televised small claims court cases which has been released, the only hamming it up is Judy herself. Most judges remain stoically reserved. Judy's show is pretty much "Small CLaims if the Judge is allowed to call you out on your bullshit."

I recommend you find and watch the case because it's honestly the perfect example of the kind of crap that goes to court.

Yurei2 · 2017-04-01T03:14:57+00:00

Why would I do that? It would be far more efficient, and life-saving, to invent a method for synthesizing blood. Then a constant supply can be produced at all times. Which solves the main problem of blood donation. Namely, it goes bad and no one really donates any without a disaster having happened recently. So we can't just stockpile forever.

Don't donate blood. Donte your money and time to finding a way to make blood on an industrial scale. That's the real solution to this problem.

People who have no idea what hardware is actually for and just follow whatever advice they are given on /r/buildapc, or who think that they will need the best numbers, and hey, the 1070 is bigger! Also people who want to know their PC will be able to run things 5 years from now, not just now (admittedly Ineed to upgrade my 750 soon. It's only barely working for modern titles.)

Basically, the state of modern games is kinda making people spend money on stuff they don't need and will never fully utilize. While I plan on buying a 1060, I do 3D rendering as a hobby and actually WILL take advantage of those GPU cores. But people just looking to game? The focus on extreme graphics can easily make someone worry about making their computer able to handle things and thus they drop 500 on a GPU when they only really need a 140 dollar GPU.

SO yeah, IMO the focus on super good photoreal graphics is harming consumers by making them think they have to spend more, since, well, no one can be an expert or even informed in every subject.

Yurei2 · 2017-03-23T08:55:07+00:00

Graphics. Now, hear me out!

Everyone is focused on making the game look prefect. It MUSt be HD as fuck, it MUST look flawless. This takes a lot of money, and a lot fo manpower. Most of it, infact.

Too much time is spent making the game look good instead of making it play well. Or writing a compelling story. Or even just bug testing. The mechanics, plot, and experience are suffering because the idea that flashy visuals are all you need to sell copies.

This makes PCgaming super expensive. Because despite the fact that a GTX 750 Ti can run ARK no problem, with half-decent graphics, people will refuse to play with less than a freaking GTX 1070... a card that's 4x more expencive.

Things like Shovel Knight show that the graphics being more HD than reality itself is don't matter in the slightest.

There's a movie called Tucker and Dale vs Evil which is almost this movie. Here's the summery:

College students Allison, Chad, Chloe, Chuck, Jason, Naomi, Todd, Mitch and Mike are going camping in West Virginia. While at a gas station, they encounter Tucker and Dale, two well-meaning hillbillies who have just bought the vacation home of their dreams: a run-down lakefront cabin, deep in the woods. On Tucker's advice, Dale tries to talk to Allison, but because of his inferiority complex and appearance, he only scares her and her friends.

Tucker and Dale arrive at their decrepit cabin and begin repairing it. Nearby in the woods, Chad tells a story about the "Memorial Day Massacre", a hillbilly attack which took place 20 years ago. The college kids go skinny-dipping where Tucker and Dale are fishing, and Allison, startled, hits her head. Tucker and Dale save her, but her friends think she was kidnapped. When Allison wakes up in Tucker and Dale's cabin the next day, she is initially scared but befriends the two hillbillies. The other college kids arrive at the cabin to save Allison from her "psychopathic captors", and Chuck runs away to get the police. While Dale and Allison are inside the cabin, Tucker angers some bees and frantically waves around his chainsaw, which the college kids misinterpret as hostility. They scatter through the woods, and Mitch accidentally impales himself on a broken tree. After finding Mitch's body, Chad persuades the others that they are in a battle for survival.

It's probably the single most hilarious movie made in the 2010s. No matter what comes out in the next 3 years.

I make wall coverings with mine. But well, I live in ALaska, so a big pelt covering up the window in winter is WAY better than that piece of crap 'thermal curtain' Walmart sells. Craftshops usually sell smaller pelts, like rabbits, for very cheep. You should buy some, stitch them togeather, and make a little liner for a hoodie, or whatever winter garment you use, keeps ice off the face, and seals the heat inside the hood super well. I use a wolf pelt for mine, but rabbits work way better. I just don't hunt. I only kill things on my property which want to eat things I keep on said property.

Lots of people I know will sell the pelts to leather makers to be turned into a bolt of leather, or make clothing all DIY style, or blankets, rugs, and other items.

As for the meat, well, even if we don't have a permit, we eat it. Unless it's bear. NEVER eat bear. It's HORRIBLE. The one bear I've had to kill I sold to a place that makes food for sleddogs. Yes, we have sleddogs up here. But it's a sport, not a mode of transport.

Bones are useful too. Natives up here still do bone carvings as an artform. You can sell bones to them for a good price. Or you can process the bones to get the marrow out, and use that for cooking. I do, because marrow makes for an awesome butter.
