And no, you don't multi-task better with more monitors, unless you don't know what you're doing with just one.
Thankfully I do.

congratulations to the guy with six monitors btw
i'm sure that totally doesn't exacerbate the issue at all
because now, instead of getting your windows mixed up, you can get your monitors mixed up--how convenient
Why do you have to act like an angry little kid over someone being able to multitask better with more monitors?
Do you have any idea how autistic you look?
because people wasting money on pointless, luxurious shit SHOULD piss you off, especially when they're pompous about it the fact that YOU get so pissed over me getting pissed is fucking hilarious to me, so i'm ALWAYS going to, because i know you love it--the second i posted that response, i knew you were going to jump on it and sperg out, because that's what you do and yes, i'm incredibly aware of that, and i'm incredibly proud of it--looking autistic is the only way worth looking

This. More monitors is great. When I work, I never have any less than 5 Word documents open at any time. Add onto that a webpage or 2, an Excel file, an email in Outlook and 3 PDF's of legislation or literature. Constantly minimizing and enlarging is such a pain and waste of time when dealing with that many materials. We're given 2 screens by default and have the option of getting a third one as well.
i never have less than 4 word documents open in my free time, and minimizing works out okay for me--and are you really saving that much time when it's physically impossible to be working on more than one document anyway? i don't think so, unless you're just bad at keeping track of your things granted, i don't use excel or outlook, but even if i were as busy as you are, i simply can't look at having more than one monitor as anything greater than a ludicrously excessive "luxury"--which i can only imagine how it must look to passersby

I was actually just playing UFC 2 at a friend's house last night. I picked Rousey and lost the first fight.
I may have caused this.

i explained it
speeds dont mean anything through your closest server because youre likely downloading from somewhere several hundred miles away and you dont know what kind of data centres or such you go through with your ISP, and just as well someone on the other side of the earth could download faster than you
again its a lottery
if it works well for you, good
if it doesnt for others, unlucky for them
If it's a lottery, then why do people keep blaming PSN directly for their problems? plus you might not be in the minority, people who are met with faulty service are more likely to be vocal about it over people with things working exactly how it should
i dont think i would be as compelled to give feedback if all i could say was "this works exactly as i expected it to"
That makes sense.

What about FFXIII? Does everybody pretend that doesn't exist?
It's generally regarded as a pretty weak and forgettable entry, yeah.

That said, Flee does not seem like the MMO type either.
Not really sure what we're talking about here. FFX or V aren't MMO, are they? But yeah, you're right. Only MMO(RPG) I ever played was Runescape like 10 years ago. Oh and a free WoW trial for like 30 days at around the same time.
No, X and XV aren't MMOs. The game I was referring to was XII, which actually isn't an MMO either. I made a mistake; I was thinking of XI. That's my bad. There's way too many fucking games to keep track of  To clear things up: XI and XIV are both weeby MMOs, which I don't think you'd be into at all. The rest are RPGs, including X, XII, and XV.

I can't think of many off the top of my head, so I could be wrong. Name me a few.
Unless you're on exclusively about character designs.
I mean, yeah, that's kind of the biggest and most important factor. You're dealing with these characters for the whole game, after all. The characters' designs, as well as their personalities, mannerisms, ways of interacting with each other, dialogue, and how the female characters are treated by the developers, are all insufferably anime.
I disagree with the way they interact. The only one I'd say is anime tier is Rikku. And FF character designs have always been EH. I mean, I'd rather have that colorful cast than the Backstreet boys of FF 15, which is one of my main gripes about that game. They all look like they're from a Japanese boyband.
Yeah, the thing about FF is that it's only gotten progressively worse with that shit. Same with Fire Emblem, same with Shining Force. I definitely have a higher tolerance for it than Flee does, though--Flee had to stop playing Sun/Moon because of the incredibly mild anime influence that the game has, so knowing his tolerance level, that's why I'm like, "Yeahhh, FFX might be a bit much for him."

Verb, this argument started because you said isolating yourself is not the same as being selfish. Now you're saying it is. I'm going to need clarification because you're being confusing with this. The things you keep to yourself should only be that which is just enough to sustain your health and existence so that you can continue being a good little helper for your society. Anything else is excessive, self-indulgent, and bad.
So.....a tax?
Call it what you want. As if taxes aren't the best fucking thing ever.
That's communism.
Neat.
My point is it doesn't work out. No utopia does. We're inherently competitive.
So we'd play fucking video games or some shit. There are ways to sate your carnal desires. Some people masturbate, some people chew gum, some people smoke e-cigs. We can curb our competitive nature.

I never said that, however do you really think the Alaskan government is going to crack down on somebody who's built a small cabin in the woods far from the nearest city? Especially if they have no idea he's there?
do you really think you're physically capable of living in alaska is that realistic you live in fucking florida, dude--you would popsicalize in 36 hours

For example I can't go out and cut down trees Why the fuck should people be allowed to cut down trees whenever they want?
Or hunt. Or anything he fucking said. (It's because Ian has spent less than hour critically thinking about this subject.)

X is super eastern/anime-like. Just a forewarning.
Only reason I'd even try it is because I have FF XV sitting right next to me, so I'm not gonna get one of the others as well. My girlfriend has FF X remastered on the PC though, so I suppose I could play that one as well. Trust me, I know. I've seen her play it. Definitely not my thing. Looks like FF is a series I might never touch.
It's honestly not that bad, man. I can think of a handful of other RPG's that are waaaaaaaaay more eastern. Not much anime stuff is in the game that I can remember off the top of my head.
>FFX >not much anime stuff lol you're kidding right

What if the person is living only able to provide the bare necessities for himself? Is he bad for not being able to contribute to the society? Not necessarily.

inheritance tax is theft.
No.
If it is, then theft is good.
No, that income has already been taxed there's no need for it to be paid again.
All of it should be taken.

>Someone living in a house he made and eats the food he hunted for is leeching off others. Yes, quite obviously. Hunting is murder, for fucking starters. You're killing sentient organisms for your own benefit. On a deeper level, you're not offering or contributing anything to society, because you selfishly don't want to be a part of it. It's not that you're "keeping to yourself." You're just lazy and worthless. You were going to say that anyways. Your shitty guilt trip on what others should do with their money shows you're not in any way a better person. When did I say that I was a better person? his isn't the first time you've made this argument. You never could explain how "It's mine, leave me alone." is somehow more selfish than "It's ours, give it up!" Because I shouldn't have to? Because it's something a first-grader could figure out? You're literally telling me to explain to you why being selfish is more selfish than not being selfish. What's the point in charity if the government is big enough to provide the same services through a higher tax? The principle of having done the right thing, regardless of how effective it is. Charitable donation are things people CHOOSE to do because they want to help out of their own free volition, not something they're obligated to do so others don't look down on them, like what you're doing.
Charity should be forced. Everyone should be forced to help each other. At gunpoint.

I'm obviously limited because of government intervention. For example I can't go out and cut down trees to build my own log cabin and live the rest of my life hunting because the government has made that illegal, they need their hands on everybody's lives. Oh man, what a drag. Big scary government preventing people from being fucking leeches. What a tough life. But at least its going to someone else to better their life, even after I die. You're just upset I'm not giving it to everybody in which I respond: 1. I am not legally obligated to do so. I don't give a shit if you're not legally obligated to do so. You'd still be a bad person. You already are. 2. For someone like you who strongly advocates for bigger government and more social programs, you sure do want me to drop everything into charity (which doesn't garner the same results in more social-safety net countries, just look at Europe in comparison to the US in terms of charitable donations).
...And? It's not about how effective it is.

I never really had any bullies, but I find that sort of thing very easy to forgive.
Kids are stupid, but they grow up. If they don't grow up, who cares. I don't see much point in harboring any ill-will towards anyone for some petty schoolyard shit that's done and over with. There's far more important things about life to spend time hating for me to care if anyone had a low opinion of me in fucking school of all places.

If I die and give it all to my family via a will is that still in the wrong? I don't want to bother with society (and Uncle Sam will still get his tax cut out of it regardless of how I ask for it as a payment) and I shouldn't be obligated to be a part of it.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you don't want to be part of our society, then you shouldn't be able to use our legal tender. Because that's part of our society that you're leeching off of, yet you wouldn't care to contribute anything yourself? How parasitic. And yeah, wills aren't quite good enough. You talk about this sense of entitlement towards the things you've "earned," but there are a few quandaries about that. 1.) if you won the lottery, you did not "earn" that prize. You just won it. And 2.) inheritance is not earned either. It's inherited. Your principles seem rather inconsistent and ill-thought-out.
