I'm gonna buy land in the pacific midwest and open a solar farm
extremely efficient
solar farms are way less efficient
go nuclear
buy land and build a molten salt reactor
itll only cost about the same
nah, that scares the shit outta me, I know how to fit a solar panel ๐
and produce 5x more energy
Use thorium instead of uranium.
but seriously, the new solar tech coming is awesome
Thorium creates much, much less waste.
our phone screens will soon be solar pnaels
The only reason we use uranium reactors is bcz you can't nake bombs with thorium.
^
yup
its the reason we dont use molten salt
they stopped researching it when they found out the bombs didnt work
France uses a bunch of nuclear energy
they were on the cusp of testing it as an on plane source of energy
imagine a plane with a reactor
it cant blow up
has almost no radiation
no fueling time needed
Awesome.
no stop overs to save fuel
France also pumps water back up the Ardeche river every ngiht for the hydro dam... now thats cool
its inefficient
well that was 20 years ago
Just use waterfalls
wait, 25... shit I'm old
dams in general are bad
they produce methane
kill off any migrating fish
remove oxygen from the water
Oh
and disrupt the entire downstream and upstream ecosystem
Shit
they are an example of how to fuck up renewable energy
But they're efficient
smaller dams are fine
its mostly big dams - Hoover, Hetch Hetchy, that huge one in china
they ruin these beautiful natural areas
ruin the ecosyste,
and produce enough methane to not be worth the renewable factor
methane is worse than CO2 short term
do you have green skin?
you just went full tree hippy
no
but seriously, I want warp reactors
well Stephen hawkins is still working on a warp Reactor
if we can get a reactor on a rocket, thats how we go to other planets
he joked on teh TNG set that he was building one in his garage ๐
right now if you want to go to mars for example, either you dont come back, or you have to bring the fuel with you
if your reactor lasts 100 years, and doesnt need much maintenance, all you have to do is get it to fit
we've talked about this before haven't we
we talked about the Mars travel time
oh
yeah we did
its a conversation to keep returning to
SpaceX is testing their falcon heavy in 9 days
Oops wrong channel!
if the test flight works, we will probably have a man on the moon within the next 2 years
nah, right channel i think
yeah that's ok
its offtopic, so as long as it isnt self promotion most stuff is okay isnt it?
ofc
More or less
plus we have to find SOMETHING that leads to panda sex, those buggers are so damned lazy
nope, lazy
I don't think I have a nice view of it here
it's a super blue BLOOD moon even
thats an amazing shot
:D
it was only partial and 6:50 am when i get up at 8, so i decided against it
it's just risen here Peach
Good thing we're not living on Alderaan.
yeah
Sorry if this is a weird question, not sure how offtopic offtopic is allowed to get, but does anyone have experience in electrical wiring/electronics/lithium polymer batteries? Even better if you're a lightsaber hobbyist. D;
That's an acceptable offtopic topic, worry not ๐
lightsaber hobbyist is a thing?
Why use a lithium polymer battery?
Yes, it's a thing.
Google "Prop Lightsaber"
Those are people who do it for a living.
Ugh, when did they add a crown next to my name. Take it away! lol
I can see it, a local fencing school here does a lightsaber class
but finally you're a king @frosty tundra
recognition you deserve
I've got people who would say more Queen then King. ๐
well darling, you pull it off aswell as Ru Paul!
seriously though, if you don;t want it, make Perc the server owner
She wouldn't want that anymore than I do. I'm fine with things the way they are but I don't need it so easily advertised. ๐คท
@fallen nexus Exactly lol. I ordered a lightsaber that I just learned has a lipo battery, which makes me understandably nervous. I wanted external confirmation from someone that this was a weird design choice and that dueling with a lipo battery is a bad idea.
so it would seem someone from PC Gamer is listening to us :O
https://nerdist.com/make-your-own-lightsaber-master-and-apprentice-video/
For almost as long as there have been Star Wars fans, customized lightsabers have filled the gap for anyone who wanted to feel that they were one with the Force. And while the makeshift lightsabers have come a long way from using modified broomsticks, the basic principle remains true today. And as demonstrated in the latest episode of Rooster Teeth's Master & Apprentice series, sometimes an official lightsaber toy can be used to make something even more impressive. ๏ปฟ First brought to our attention via Laughing Squid, veteran production designer Marcus Gray LaPorte and his cosplay loving apprentice, Adam Ellis, took the time to carefully explain the steps of their lightsaber creation process. Both men came to this build with an idea in mind for their weapons: LaPorte wanted a lightsaber that resembled the ones used by the Knights of Ren, while Ellis wanted something worthy of a Jedi. But as Ellis noted in the video, sometimes it's important to learn when to let go of the original
plus everyone knows you need a sub micron warp reactor to properly power one
(I have no fucking idea relaly, electric engineering is something I would love to learn)
It's not too late! ๐ I know next to nothing, but people have been really nice.
my limit is basic soldering, especially on pc components, but I can follow directions
I don't think dragon would be too happy with me making one though
Honestly basic soldering is all you need for most kits. ๐ And I'm trying to not-so-subtly convince my boyfriend to get a lightsaber as well so we can make it a couples' hobby and not a "your-girlfriend-spent-WHAT" hobby. :X
yeah, Dragon (wifey) would much rather I learn to turn her phone into a Star Fleet communicator
but then considering she's having henna trill spots done for a Star Trek con, well, not relaly surprising
Bluetooth Starfleet badge.
Which seems to be a thing already.
@shadow plover - LiPo is indeed a weird choice for as electronic like that.
Especially with LiOn being much more universal now.
What bugs me is it was listed with a LiOn battery. He only told me it was LiPo when I asked if it had circuit protection. :\ I'm going to try and replace it, but I haven't seen the internals so I don't know how complicated that's going to be.
If it was listed as one and sold as another I would just outright ask for a refund.
Out of principle.
agreed
Find out who makes it and contact them.
It's directly from the manufacturer. I wrote to them about how it wasn't listed accurately and am waiting to hear how they respond.
Thanks for validating my concern!
I'm new so I never know if I'm just misunderstanding some component or w/e. but lipo batteries blow up! lol
LiPo batteries in high-energy drain devices make absolutely zero sense.
If they won't offer a refund, contact your bank and explain exactly what you've said here.
99% of banks would issue a chargeback on principle.
shoulda got the one with dilithium crystals
kyber crystals?
Is there Overwatch League tonight?
it's what people use to cover an awkward personality
drumroll Thats... Thulm!
I envy you.
It's not really time for breakfast Intervencion
HOW YOU DARE
it's always time for breakfast
That english breakfast lul
best kind of breakfast
Not my thing, but black pudding is ok!
"Ew to all of that except the grossest thing on the plate" :'D
hash browns <3
I'm getting on the train right now immediately
but it's not sunday monring
I like turtles.
TMNT?
I have never watched it so idk
o.O
@versed pebble so been going to https://www.orangetheoryfitness.com/
damn, my gym is ยฃ22 a month ๐ฎ
This is a mix of a gym with personal training. But cheaper than personal training.
It's interesting, in one hour you do weight lifting, rowing, treadmil, and then another thing of strength training. Each class isn't perdicatable, it's always different, and you're doing it as a group. It's surprisingly engaging.
yeah, mine does a monthly "how you doing" class
You wear a heart monitor and then there's screens with your % of max heart rate and certain color levels you should try to maintain. And then at the end you get a report of your calories, distance, all that jazz.
yeah, all precor kit here, so i can look up my training online too, useful when the doctor asks me if I'm being honest :d
do u have a history of lying to ur doctor
I have a history of major and horrifying injuries
rip
...and it's coming along ๐
What's that?
Winter Veil prizes; getting them ready for shipping.

Crikey, that breakfast looks like dinner to me.
Smissmas!
HAHHA

lived? so it's dead and you just got a ghost text?
jesus
that roadmap has no fucking content
what the fuck bungie?
i mean
im satisfied with my 60 dollars tbh
i got at least 20 hours of content
and i enjoyed the gameplay
but wtf is bungie smoking to make them think that their roadmap has anything substantial on it?
I'd agree with you totally there peach
its like they just told everyone "hey we meant to rework these things before the game was released, but then activision made us release it, so now instead of new content, enjoy these system reworks"
im all for system reworks, and if they add new content as part of that, cool! But im not going back to the game to play through the same shit just because they changed how my abilities worked or made some guns better or worse
I amSO SICK of the EDZ
reddit is sharing similar sentiments
not as upset, but they essentially want reasons to log in
and bungie wont give us any
like
if you want to make microtransaction money
you need to have players there to buy it
and while i dont like the fucking MTX, its like they dont even want to try and make money
yup, I don;t see a reason to reinstall it right now
I will for the next expansion, but if i have to go through another zone in the next one, like that matrix zone in osiris (the same parts rehashed five times), I'm done
this is extremely cursed
:O
I just made a thing for work and my art director (who's at her really real job) just told me it was beautiful

Yo just did a Hearthstone game
He had 16 health, I had 2
I had 6 damage on my board
So I figured Iโd use this:
Then I went face and he topdecked the mine
PAHAHA
This game is so fucking rigged lol
I wouldn;t even call that rigged, if you did that to me I'd GG you
right, back to work, gotta finish what I posted just above
Aight GL
excited for this game
Looks interesting
I quitted HS 2-3 years ago. Instead of improving, i kept on being worse each passing day. Also, i had the worst luck. One day, against a warrior, he went AFK when i had 22 HP left. I downed him to 2 or something around that. He came back and proceeded to slowly kill me. I quitted that day for good.
been meaning to get another HS tournament set up, but i just don;t have the time
oh shit! divinity original sin 2 just got fast travel and a hide ui button!
nice

<@&299347348847329281>
Thanks.

I wasn't sure
Huh? What happened?
No idea.
very much so
another one?
Petition for what I wonder...
he wasn't allowed in a discord his "freinds" were in
facepalms
Oh, thought it was the sponsorship fella.
no its a contest
and it isnt tax free
if you win its like $1500 in taxes
which is ridiculous
i imagine there is small text saying that disqualifies you
I don't think he gets it Peach, i wouldn;t bother
What is cursed about the guy in what I presume is "green lantern" t-shirt?
what is light theme on discord
yup
Yes, but it is their choice.
Guess it's my lucky day, that nor me nor my friends ended the evening with piรจces of glass in their fucking head
I love being part in public agressions, so much fun
(Assholes decided they wanted to kill a guy from the bar walking in front off, by throwing bottles in the people in front. One of the girl was lucky, she was hit but not grave. Lot of glass in her coat
They just started tossing glass bottles? WTH!
damn Inay, glad you're ok
Yeah, I didn't pay attention to them at first, my more alert friendssaid they were walking like they intended to make troubles
Did they get arrested?
goodness, glad you're alright
They were a dozen people smoking in front of the bar, what the fuck! Someone could have been killed
No, they run away before everyone understand
There was a camรฉra, I hope the bar ask for the film and they get caught
And now I have a friend who is Scared to get in the city at night because it's her second agression this winter and I hate these people
I thank you for listeninh (well reading), I am a bit nervous too
Well, yeah and that is understandable, because the implication is.. if people could be so blatant about it, and got away with it, then they are still out there, confident in the fact they might get away with it again.
And it is not fun to go out for a fun night, and have to be contantly on alert for sign of danger.
gets Inay a nerve tonic (beer)
Thank you
I never, never had problem in this city, I've been here for 7 years. I completly block when it happened "oh, this one seems to want to fight the videu... WHAT THE FUCK WTF WTF"
(Other friends run back, second scare in realising after that I can't find them)
what country?
France, Lyon
Not that I know of, it was almost random
(Or they were throw out of the bar and decided that throwing glass bottles at people was a reasonable reaction, I don't know)
And congrats on.. I don't know, but congrats! x)
finally on teh press list for capcom UK, means I can actually goto press events now, rather than just get press emails
Congrats then, that's cool!
aye, not in time for Monster Hunter World, but will be for the PC release

Uh?
Dragon just started working as a lab tech at our local school... we don;t have kids though, so all good
Oh like, don't go back working in the school (once you're adult)
'thought you were encouraging kids to not do their work
i work in a highschool and im like going home each day wanting to cry
dealing with these kids is like.. oh my god
<patpat> I feel ya
eah, thats why she's doing lab tech, no teaching

@fallen nexus is this ok?
Nope.

k... .
I had not realized I couldn't post that. There is absolutely no information on what I can't post in this off topic channel, unless I'm missing something.
While the channel maybe be branded "offtopic" that doesn't mean that links to completely random sites in such an advertisement-type manner are kosher.
Ah, I see. I read the welcome section (which has nothing about links) and the website multiple times. I guess I can kinda see how someone might consider a friendly music channel as advertising or soliciting.
Redacted that. Looks like there were a tad more than four.
But the point stands.
If the same thing was posted on the forums, I'd delete it there as well.
Therefore I apply the same rule-set here.
I have no idea what you mean by four, but yeah, I get everything else. Thanks for the notice.
being serious though, what sorta music you play Lynx?
Super huge variety pack. Last week because of a big 3-day RP event I was playing acoustic guitar pieces during the day and switched to industrial/kpop/rock/dubstep/house to get the "dance/club" mood.
I found out you can have two discord applications open with the Discord PTB.
cool, proper mix
I ask cos I own a game radio station
At the moment the RP scene is in a Pandaren tavern, so the music is a lot of Eastern instruments doing modern styles of music to go with the theme.
Oh seriously?! That's awesome!
radio is still king huh
BTW if you use Firefox update it NOW
There was a serious security flaw found with the most recent version of Quantum and the update is less than a day old.

OOOOOOOOOK.
Sheโs got a really good point.
I like how MMfAโs only response was going โI doubt thisโ without an actual counterargument.
Or maybe it was monkey noises.
Hey @mediamattersforamerica, where did you get that first screencap? The header? Because thatโs not what your article link says.
Lara Trump tells Fox that women who marched are too dumb to know why theyโre anti-Trump, โThey just think thatโs the thing to doโ
Which is an accurate description of her position. You appear to have omitted some important context from that headline.
I didnโt actually read the article before, but, uhโฆ
[LARA] TRUMP: Melania is incredible, and she has taken everything with such grace and class and, honestly, I give her so much credit. But the reality is, when it comes to the left, when it comes to Democrats, they are okay with all women as long as you have their same opinion on things. And itโs very evidentย here.
HMMM.
I checked some of the comments, and of course theyโre long on snark and attacking Trump, but short on responding to Laraโs actual point. None of them defend te Womenโs March with actualy evidence. Itโs just good because it opposes Trumpโฆsomehow.
Lmao holy shit look at that spin
Sheโs on point and theyโre just mad about it.
Nvm, people. I'll do it myself. Thanks.

FUCK YEAH GYRO CALZONE. Immigration is awesome
One of my former Barisas was from Pakistan and she should share her food from home with me sometimes. Can't remember what any of it was called but it was all so yummy.
I wish we'd settle a bunch of Syrian refugees in my area so they could open shawarma restaurants.
sounds decent
some amazing pakistani takeaways here Wolf, totally with you on that
I wish she would come back but she's got four kids now and can't juggle it all.
what i wish is that we would get people who knows how to behave
...?
dont get me wrong there are alot of people who DO behave but there is always this % that dont
What are you talking about?
imigrants who refuse to change their behavior. we got to many of those
....
We have awful, horrid, shitty ass people who LIVE HERE
All the immigrants I have met are always super polite
And they almost have to be
as i said
there is this small % that DONT behave
Skaldond, if I ever meet you in person, I am going to make you sit down, shut up, and try foreign food.
And have an issue with another customer who was obviously Native American
oh for the love of
LOL
NO, YOU ARE
I see no difference between immigrants and "natives"
LOL
Like, we're all humans
^
Yep
And we're for sure sons or grandsons of immigrants
We should stop being shitty to each other
my great-grandpa was an illegal immigrant
In particular the USA (if you don't mind me)
sigh what part of what i said about the SMALL PERCENT THAT DONT BEHAVE didnt you get
we've never actually found any of his documentation showing he became a legal American citizen
Legit tho, unless you're a native american or you have native american ancestors, you're an illegal here as well
Skaldond
Because there's a bigger percent of Americans who don't 'behave'
i think the assholes are a MINORITY
Skal, it's because you're making a big deal about it because "them's furreners"
"stealing our jerbs"
oh i fucking give up...
but i mean

I had to put a pathetic little boy in another Discord on ignore because he kept bashing Muslims, do I have to do that here too?
if you want to think that off me go ahead.
yes, there's always a percent of idiots. of every group that you can imagine.
what's your point in implying that "illegals" are worse?
Or immigrants in general

im honestly excited for both of these
but i cant play Sea of Thieves b/c its xbox and windows 10 only
yeah
sea of thieves has way more popularity
a bigger ad campaign, and we know way less about it than surviving mars
well thats Surviving Mars winning so far
we'll be playing a LOT of Thieves, but I think Mars will be better
i mean, two very different games
if it ever comes out for 7, i might play it a lot assuming i can convince my friends to play it
it will never come out for 7
cos it has cross platform play
i will say though, now the beta is nearly over, the cross platform works amazingly, Dragon and I were playing it last night
she was on the XB1 and I was on PC
she got me drowned
I would just ask you all to not assume that everyone here is american, thank you very much.
i think my problem with it is that we know nothing about progression or upgrades

yeah, even int eh beta Sea of Thieves doesn't show much of what we keep you playing
yep
thats my worry
great engine, great potential
how do they keep people playing

I mean, Ace has done the same thing directly to me, tagging me and everything to show a screen that showed he had be blocked nd like... not shit was said to him. At least Lone didn't advertise who he had blocked or flaunt it for assholery's sake.
But it is what it is, I guess.
Moving along.
Who is Ace?
Wait lone is gone?
I dunno, some aasshole white name who comes and goes in wowchat
I don't usually read wowchat, sorry wolf
Shrug
I think we kinda ignore each other anymore, I only have one person blocked ever on this discord. I can't remember why... But I think they mostly talk here while I'm sleeping so meh.
Just want to remark that I'm still hereโฆ
isn't Ace the person who said that WoW doesn't have a story/ isn't a RP just because they can't fucking read
Hugs Adha
Not gonna go into details on that, just kind of be smug
there're like.... 10 Ace here
OMG HE WAS
but this is the annoying one
@unreal bluff What happens? Something wrong?
I know this Ace had an Emily picture from Dishonored for a while.
yeah i think so
Yup
@opaque basin of course i donโt assume everyone is Americanโjust willfully ignorant people, which you definitely are not.

Wait did someone just used a term "arsehole white name?"
pretty sure I just faceplamed without even realising it

Anyone else realize how genius scam emails and such are? They are made so stupid, that you would have to be extremely dumb to fall for them, or 8 years old. It makes it so no one but the people who would follow blindly get scammed
Guildie gets messaged this, just Hrm
so, in other words, literally any half-assed scam ever?
I can see someone with dyslexia maybe falling for that because the "Blizazrd" doesn't immediately register to them as different from "Blizzard"
Just look for the blizzard blue thingy ๐
Pre-Cata, one of my brothers had a moment of almost falling for a phishing mail in-game. It started โSalutations from goblins and worgenโ and he was really tired from work so at first he went โoh cool a beta inviteโ
But then โhey wait a secondโ
anyway, "triggered" used as a meme definition = no-no
Yeah please donโt contribute to the misuse of โtriggeredโ.
the dictionary is not a be-all end-all reference for determining the meaning or impact of words. social context needs to be considered.
Bumps head against table repeatedly
What.... is.... the.... word....
Maybe is was distressed
it*
fuck
i can relate to not remembering words.
I haaaaaaate iiiiiiiiiiiiiit
that's why I even pull out a thesaurus to begin with
It distresses me lmao
anxiety, anguish, adversity? you said you were thinking of an a-wrod
The dictionary is written and edited by human beings with internal biases
Anguish might have been it, I had already used anxiety
As such, what meigender said, is true
And I experience anxiety almost daily, so I certainly won't forget it.
the dictionary is not a be-all end-all reference for determining the meaning or impact of words. social context needs to be considered.
On the other hand, it's actually a primary source unlike all those points all of you made. Pretty sure points made from a personal viewpoint are equally if not more biased.
Well, buddy, I do more research than like 2 seconds of glancing at another tab before i use a term wrong
you should too, tbh but as always, i can't control anyone but myself
I've been following the usage of the word for a fair amount of time. I rarely use it but eh, it fit...therefore...
how is it so hard to understand that some language causes harm to other people, whether directly or otherwise, and adjust your usage accordingly?
it did not fit
and it will not, in any context fit, unless you use it in a medical environment
how is it so hard to understand that some language causes harm to other people, whether directly or otherwise, and adjust your usage accordingly?
As opposed to butthurt?
I would almost suggest 'squick' but in that context it didn't fit, either.
well that and squick is fairly obscure.
"butthurt" doesn't have any other definition than what is basically "distressed beyond belief at something petty"
I try to avoid the usage of words that are too obscure. I had enough of that studying for the damn SATs.
by using "triggered" to mean "mildly upset" you are essentially belittling the lived experiences of those with PTSD and similar disorders.
See, I relate the word 'butthurt' with people actively trying to offend others.
But butthurt can certainly be informally used as a means of conveying a state of distress that is to say, being upset.
Probably. In hindsight, I might as well have done that.
As someone who suffers occasional diarrhea, I think โbutthurtโ is a relatable and appropriate term.
But since we're having such a lively discussion about it it would be pretty wrong to go back and make an edit now.
Sorry if TMI
Lol Adha
Interest, not to be a dick, but it's good to do more than 2 seconds of research when trying to find the right word
See I want to say something about my personal issues of being literally butthurt but uh...
I did do more than 2 seconds of research.
@ashen parrot splurge on better toilet paper.
Omg lol
it's a word
That's the most unfortunate word to use in this context.
head tilt
it just means spend frivolously
โฆtried Kaopectate?
Well if that ain't a $20 word
As long as none of us aren't literal nazis or white supremacists or some shit, we're fixable
Ew
it just means spend frivolously
I know, but this is one of those cases where it can be used informally to describe er...something.
gross
I mean really REALLY think about it for a moment.
i swear tho, guys
But considering the word sounds similar enough, yes I do consider it a rather unfortunate usage of the word considering the context.
(and ladies/ humans)
Yeah uh splurge just means to spend on the name-brand instead of the cheap generic equivalent
I'm barely human but that works
And here we see an example of how informal word usage can work.
I can't say I disagree. It's certainly highly underused.
third worst, ... dunno
However, I do think triggered has largely established itself and furthermore, it actually has defined roots that make a reasonable connection to the common usage today.
That's ok, I once accidentally switched 'exotic' with 'erotic' when asking my teacher if I could have an 'exotic drink' in class. Luckily I was the first student in the room so only she heard.
@spice goblet horror movies definitely haven't helped with that first one
or just. the understanding of mental disorders in general.
Probably
how has it largely established itself as anything more or less than an insult? it's supposed to be a medical term
Because of the definition I brought up previously. Also, before the usage of the word became what it is....today, where the problem is more that it's overused beyond belief over other similar words, I actually think of triggered more as like say....a switch flipping.
and yea, mei. i agree
That is to say, the act of triggering some sort of event, with the switch doing exactly that.
but it's used like.... 3 times per episode (may or may not be an exaggeration) on Archer
Sploosh?
then again, Archer does have a lot of controversial and potentially offensive shit in it so
Okay but how do people with literal PTSD and other issues reclaim the word?
And if you really think a switch flip and the concept of triggering do not make sense together then uh, yeah.
and I think you watch too much Archer, man.
ik
Also, trigger in and of itself, as well as all of its derivatives, are fairly common words.
i'm on season 7
Itโs like someone with celiac disease asking for gluten-free food and the waiter/chef goes โhaha I bet theyโre just on the fad dietโ and feeds them wheat
from watching it for like, oh... 2 months?
Archer is funny, and I don't mind it so much because they're pretty self aware about it
or the doctor going, "no, i'm not giving you an abortion! Murderer!"
You folks arenโt exactly giving me good reasons to watch Archer if it misuses โtriggeredโ like that.
Archer is honestly probably the best adult cartoon
Archer or Rick and Morty
it's probably used "triggered" once or twice in that context
but definitely not to the extent that it's used psychopath
I can't recall its use in the show at all but shrug
me either
Havenโt heard good things about Rick and Morty either to be honest
If anyone is bored and wants to watch me play guitar... sorta... I'm at twitch.tv/drockzoids
Arsonite, I'm curious as to where you got your very specific definition of the word trigger(ed) by the way.
Like, there are shows my husband watches that make me cringe but Archer is one I actually enjoy
and i've heard nothing but drivel about Open Mouth or whatever the hell it is
Adhara, you do not want to watch Rick and Morty.
Adhara, you do not want to watch Rick and Morty.
"To be fair you need a high IQ to..."
i got my definition from researching Anxiety, Depression, and other mental disorders
ugh that copypasta.
lol
Or, well, the good things I hear about Rick and Morty are from the type of fans who are completely fucking insufferable, soโฆ
Like, it's pretty obvious that Rick is so not to be idolized or emulated, but.... eh
@ashen parrot do not
Eh I'm saying what someone else would've/what we were all thinking
I hate that small group of asshats that are super pretentious about R&M
I want a lot of crummy internet things gone but what can we do?
I mean I want to brain bleach it temporarily
speaking of pretentious, does Nazeem from Skyrim perfectly fit that description?
Eugh
I guaran-gorram-tee you I have a higher officially tested IQ than most of the people who claim to be smart after their internet IQ tests.
i got my definition from researching Anxiety, Depression, and other mental disorders
I'm afraid we're going to have major disagreements then. There are a lot of usages of the word trigger, much like with set.
you must be new here
Not that IQ means anything outside โ you know what Interest
and the common one certainly seems reasonable to determine as a predecessor to well...the common usage today.
i have disagreements with almost everyone here
http://dollsahoy.tumblr.com/post/148296782845/do-you-have-any-triggers https://medium.com/the-nib/trigger-warning-breakfast-c6cdeec070e6 here are a couple of good pieces re: the nature of triggers (warning for the second one as it contains reference to rape)
get in line, boi
People politely asked โcould you please not use that word in that contextโ
Instead you argued
i have disagreements with almost everyone here
get in line, boi
Pretty sure I'm the OG of this.
Donโt be an asshole
i doubt that
People politely asked โcould you please not use that word in that contextโ Instead you argued
I argued with the point of it not being an appropriately used word, not whether it should be or not. In fact, I agreed that in hindsight I could've chosen a different word.
you're not the OG of disagreements until you can have disagreements with someone who is, otherwise, your mental clone
The proper response is โah, sorry, didnโt mean to upset anyone. Iโll avoid it in futureโ
As you can see, Arsonite is focusing on a very specific usage of the word, instead of the numerous commonly used definitions.
because i pride myself on using words correctly
You mean like I said a few minutes ago?
Probably. In hindsight, I might as well have done that.
@unreal bluff that autie high-IQ feel
Jfc. Interest. PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL.
At this point Arsonite and I are just mincing words over how the word should be used more than anything.
Mostly by discussing origin definitions.
Everyone Else In This Chat and You, you mean
Can you maybe do it in PMs?
hold up, i'm doin' research
I need a second fucking rizatriptan
because apparently i'm the only one in this 1 on 1+ spat who cares to do actual research
You could just quickly Google search one word, then look at the various contexts it is used.
I prefer towards vetting sources to make sure they actually make sense, so..
you used it in a specific context, though.
IT DOESNโT FUCKING MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE USE A WORD INCORRECTLY
You are right, I did use it in a specific context, and I think the way I used it fit because of the origin definition I cited.
Which is really just one of many.
i forget what it's called atm but it'll come to me
The fact people say โMongoloidโ as a slur against people with Down syndrome doesnโt make it okay to use it in that context
there are many reasons that word isn't ok
the logical fallacy is, "because a certain people think so and so, so and so must be true"
Youโre not just digging yourself into a hole, youโre approaching the asthenosphere
there are many reasons that word isn't ok
But as I said, I already acknowledged I used the word inappropriately, not wrongfully.
but... you did use it wrongfully
There's a difference. Arsonite and I are arguing whether I used it wrongfully.
(Thatโs a geology term, in case you canโt be arsed to โโresearchโโ)
no, man. you're arguing
Considering I am familiar with the suffix, it was easy enough to figure out.
the logical fallacy is, "because a certain people think so and so, so and so must be true"
I believe you might mean something like confirmation bias...or genetics.
A trauma trigger is an experience that causes someone to recall a previous traumatic memory, although the trigger itself need not be frightening or traumatic and can be indirectly or superficially reminiscent of an earlier traumatic incident. Tra...
no, i mean something else
It's certainly possible, but here's the thing.
There is this thing on a firearm that when pulled, makes it fire. What is it again?
Oh yes, it's called a trigger.
I have actual fucking work to do, jfc. You all have fun with this
Which in itself is synonymous with switch.
This of course can be used in a number of um...more tasteful contexts
that's an entirely different definition. that isn't what's being argued about.
But people call that thing on the gun a trigger normally so there you go.
Right, but the noun definition and the verb definition have a relation.
The verb definition, I already pasted in.
That is to say, the act of triggering, to trigger, etc. It's not exactly the same but fairly similar to "to pull on a switch"
The original definition of the word means "To pull", true but as that can be taken to mean...
"To pull something/ someone's strings" in such a way that they are far beyond upset
i.e, medical term
As always, Interest, it's good to read between the lines
On the other hand, it could be considered in a more visceral sense. You flipped their emotional switch or the like. It certainly doesn't need to go as far as the medical context to really become understandable.
Or, to put it another way and hopefully not in any sort of offensive context, the act of being triggered. Pretty sure this should be fine.
The "act of being triggered" should not mean "upset over something meaningless"
you know, it's things like this that make people who are suffering unable to talk about their experiences without fear of being invalidated or belittled. people can't talk about "triggers" because they've been led to believe it just means "things which make a person mildly upset" and not "things which trigger a panic attack".
Overall thought process, to simplify:
Trigger (object, noun) - a switch -> trigger (verb, derivative) - the act of flipping the switch/causing something to happen due to the switch -> triggered (verb, past) - the state caused by something happening due to the switch.
That's a fair point.
But unfortunately that's what happens when a fairly common word is used. Stuff like this becomes fair game and yes, I do think it's fair game even if there is a more focused usage.
Again, going back to the fact the word "set" exists.
I don't think it's fair at all. It's not fair on people with mental illness that other people can't adjust their language to accommodate the needs of those who have had traumatic experiences.
But in that case, it would be inappropriate/offensive, not incorrect.
Which I acknowledged a fair bit of time ago.
He did
inappropriate can also mean incorrect
as such, which definition are you using?
also, my tumblr is going so damn slow rip
Sure, but I'm pretty certain you mean my interpretation of the word trigger and how I arrived at the usage of the derived word is just wrong, not something meant to say, mock people with medical issues (intentionally or unintentionally).
And ultimately, that is where I got the word from - a fairly innocuous, common (assuming the fact trigger is a word associated with guns can even be considered innocuous) that can be used to describe emotional state in a specified form.
regardless, leaving aside the entire argument,
if you don't intend to look like an asshole, why in the fuck would you use a word as controversial, offensive, and shitty like triggered?
I'm pretty sure that's where the medical term is also derived from but well, English.
Word grasping on my part. It was not the best of ideas.
Mind you, I usually have words like "butthurt" outright ignored.
Triggered, however, can actually be used in an inoffensive context, so I can't just throw it on a mental ignore list.
I tend to gloss over most people who use that term on principle.
at this point, i don't think anyone really cares about the word "butthurt"
the word, triggered however
Eh well I dislike butthurt for a couple reasons.
people DO care
- It's a tad too informal for most conversations I have.
- It's almost solely used in an offensive context, unlike the other word.
you don't gotta look formal all the time
Right, but I do like to hold myself to a certain standard.
however, if you do care about being formal, put more effort into research.
I kind of did.
I was aware of the specified definition but also the more common ones. Simple as that.
if you want to hold yourself to a certain standard of formality using the word "triggered" isn't really going to help you with that
I know there are at least a couple other folks in here who play WildStar
Right, but that was a mistake.
I found this today and I have never thrown my money at the computer so fast https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/233007536469442561/409021695832227841/unknown.png
And as I mentioned, that word is in my vocabulary for a reason.
contrary to popular belief, something widely considered to be true cannot, by definition, be true just for that.
It also allows one to consider if something widely considered as true is more stupid than something which is not
Oh and Hunter bias might have something to do with it. I'm sure one could figure out what I mean by that part.
SNARK AT ME HARDER CARETAKER-SAMA โค
contrary to popular belief, something widely considered to be true cannot, by definition, be true just for that. It also allows one to consider if something widely considered as true is more stupid than something which is not
At the same time:
-
The language related to the word trigger has already been long established and I was drawing on that.
-
Language in itself can change over time with usage (there's a reason we don't use a lot of old English anymore, for example).
(Seriously. Heโs got some of the best dialogue in the game)
That's a pretty good price for a shirt, all things considered.
Oh also
- The definition you're citing is likely based on the origin definition I was referring to.
Oh, and not sure how clear it is from that screenshot, but he doesnโt really wear a shirt.
๐
- The language related to the word trigger which has been long established is the medical term. Before that, is the term "to pull." Sometime after the medical term came about, the meme-definition came about.
- You're referencing something which I never brought up. I never cited the historic context as aid of my argument. I cited it after I saw your words about its origins. Language obviously changes over time but that is not what we're discussing. We are discussing the true definition of the word "triggered" and how it came to be used in a medical context. Yes, it might in certain interpretations be used in the way you described but these days everything is interpreted in so many ways, it's tedious.
- See 2.
Good god, everyone, just block and move on. The argument is going nowhere
Also, for 2... As things are interpreted in multiple ways, the true meanings of the words are jumbled
Arsonite, that doesn't change the fact it's possible to exclusively use the origin definition. I already described the thought process leading to that.
<@&299347348847329281>
Adhara, just because we are having a disagreement doesn't mean we need to block each other. That kind of ruins the point of the conversation anyways.

Har har.
(no pun intended)
But really though, we're having a discussion. It's been fairly civil. Do as you wish, but I would consider it unfair to try to lay down the law (mostly because there's not a lot to lay the law down on).
23 minutes? That's amateur numbers ๐
true though, but laws are interpreted in many different ways, as are the definitions of words. So, we should probably move the convo to PM if you're open to further discussion
fair enough
I have an idea though. Let's drop the argument entirely.
It's not getting anyone anywhere prouctive, and it's really just a giant wall of text that all-in-all, comes out to be a moot point.
ahead of you on that, Thulm! Too slow :khadgarface:
Itโs not a conversation at this point. Itโs two people going โsorry, I donโt agree with your opinion.โ and โBUT YOU SHOULD AGREE AND THIS IS WHYโ
I get it @unreal bluff - Let's just move forward and let them duel it out via DM's
