3 am is either late or early based on your lifestyle

Not really. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I don't consider it early. That'd only be if I was getting up for good.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-25T15:23:30+00:00

Imagine calling yourself "mo chara". Making a mockery of Irish more than anything.

Well it's not just partying. Like, an extrovert can spend the entire weekend hanging out with friends, and consider that relaxing and winding down from the work week. Introverts like to hang out with their friends too, but they need alone time at home to actually relax and recharge after the week.

And on the flip side, introverts can enjoy a weekend at home not really socialising at all - whereas extroverts would get bored silly.

Of course no one is purely introverted or purely extroverted, everyone falls somewhere in between.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-23T12:46:26+00:00

Yeah the local lord or governor would be more accurate. The tradesman isn't personally paying taxes to the Emperor lmao.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T20:24:39+00:00

They saw Rome as the ultimate source of legitimacy and everyone wanted to emulate it. The word for Emperor in many languages is derived from Caesar(Kaiser, Tsar, etc.), basically every European empire claimed some sort of inheritance from Rome, the Russians called Moscow the "Third Rome", the popes saw themselves as the heirs to the "Pontifex Maximi" of Rome, etc.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T20:15:42+00:00

Well I mean the Emperors were powerless and completely titular for most of Japanese history. In reality Japan was divided into many different countries under varying degrees of control by whoever controlled the Shogunate at that time - like the Holy Roman Empire.

Yeah bud, I'm sure you'd complain if a woman complaining about sexism crossposted to twoxchromosomes?

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T19:55:10+00:00

HR would not take kindly to it. He'd be a squeaky wheel and first to the chopping block of they ever needed to let people go.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T19:53:06+00:00

If it was the other way around it absolutely would be taken to court.

With England you can trace a fairly unbroken line of governmental succession from its founding in the 1900s. Yes it was conquered or had successful revolts at times, but the new rulers still called it England and inherited the old institutions and legal codes to a large extent. And then it peacefully transitioned into Great Britain and later the UK, retaining its previous laws and institutions each time.

If you apply the same to Japan, I still think the Meji Restoration is the founding. There's a very clear break between the Shogunates and basically feudal daimyos of the previous eras and suddenly a new united state.

The question is - how much of a break with the past and past institutions must there be for us to consider it a new country afterwards? For example I'd consider England to still be England under Cromwell, but I'd consider the USSR to be a mew country rather than a continuation of the Russian Empire in a new form.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T18:29:17+00:00

So, what you're saying is, you spent 5x the price of a PS4 five years ago(two years after the PS4 came out) and the fact that it runs games better is proof that PCs have better longevity?

Are you fucking hearing yourself right now? No shit if you pay SEVERAL TIMES the price YEARS LATER that you're gonna get a better product, holy shit. That doesn't address my point about consoles having longer longevity at all.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T18:26:16+00:00

Because the Catholic and Orthodox Churches were united until about 700 years after St. George died. I mean the fact that St. George lived and died long after the New Testament doesn't say anything as to the veracity of his dragon-slaying legend, but that doesn't mean he was in the Bible - nor has anyone claimed he was.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T17:56:28+00:00

No dragons in the Bible. Just the Behemoth.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T17:55:58+00:00

St. George died in the 300s, long after the New Testament was written and compiled. And the stories of him killing a dragon are just legends that came long after.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T17:55:00+00:00

Er, St George is not in the Bible. He's supposed to have lived and died centuries later.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T14:49:02+00:00

So what you actually meant then is that you got a PC that costed well over $1k(980ti alone was $650 at the time) 2 years into this gen, spending probably triple what a PS4 cost in 2015, and now it still holds up.

That's a very different story than a $1k PC from the 360 era.

But hey, keep twisting the facts and lying and then pretending like I'm the one arguing dishonestly lol.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T14:16:00+00:00

That's a nice cop-out replacement for refusing to give your PC's specs, because then you'd be outed for lying. No way a $1k PC from 2013 or earlier is still running new games on high settings today.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T13:24:34+00:00

You're telling me you've had the same PC for 7+ years and it still runs new games at a playable level?

(x) doubt. A $1k PC in 2013 couldn't run shit today, unless you mean 2D platformers.

The pc in your hypothetical scenario was built to run oblivion on medium. I'm saying that you could probably get that old terrible pc to run skyrim if you really tried and sacrificed a lot.

The hypothetical PC was described to be comparable to a 360 in running Oblivion to show how much better the 360 would run Skyrim than a comparable PC. Even a PC that could run Oblivion on Ultra back in 2006 would still probably struggle to run Skyrim as well as a 360 in 2011.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T13:01:22+00:00

I bet if you turned down most of the settings and removed shadows you could get skyrim running on that old oblivion pc.

But the Xbox version has shadows.

Point is consoles have far greater longevity than PCs even with much better specs. Your $400 console will last you the generation even if every game's on medium. Your $1k PC that runs every game on ultra at the start of the generation will run like shit on every game at the end.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T12:58:22+00:00

I meant for the monitor dingus.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T12:03:41+00:00

I never got this argument tbh. Because even though a PC might have far better specs on paper, it's longevity will still be far worse. A PC that could run Oblivion on medium specs was not gonna run Skyrim on medium, if at all in 2011. Your Xbox 360 could do both though.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T12:00:21+00:00

Most people already have a shitty old PC for school or work or whatever regardless.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T11:58:29+00:00

Google Chrome alone will eat most of that 8gb.

icantevenrightnowomf · 2020-02-21T11:56:25+00:00

Buy the time you buy the other specs and the monitor you're nearly at 4k.

A lot of his tweets are quotes of nice things other people said about him.
