so i'm used to going between 5 monitors at any one time and honestly, I could never go back to a single monitor
weird flex but ok, nice
thats so many
less of a flex and more of a representation of the work I do as a data engineer and remote fulltime masters student.
ok fair enough then i understand
a flex is I can combine them all together to create a 16k image to play video games on 
Three screens and a laptop here. 😁

yes that is a flex
yall i live with one monitor
Get another one! ☺️
i wanna
haha, i have two screens and a gaming laptop
One very old slow laptop for me (getting a better one soon)
You won’t regret a second monitor I guarantee it
This is gonna be insensitive, but visually impaired people got 0 screens.
next time i see my brother im gonna convince him to take me to the pc store (and to help me figure out what kind of monitor will even work with my pc because i dont understand technology)
Honestly it’s probably a good thing I didn’t get into pre-alpha because my laptop probably wouldnt have been able to handle it 
Awww Ivy you got a new pfp!
Khät
That’s Mo 
He’s so fluffy I’m gonna die!
Mhm 
I have one 27 inch curved monitor and I am happy with that 😊 a second monitor would probably make me sit not straight anymore and be a pain for me back
I have... a chair.
My scoliosis begs to differ.. oh wait
...
i have an office chair... and a handmedown razer mouse which has a middle mouse button that doesnt work
Rin we have the best setups 

Second monitor is the best life
True
Always helpful to draw and animate on one and have reference / videos on the other haha
Also not having to alt+tab as much in general is really nice
I was modding my games so I had to use a lot of space on my screen as I had 5 open folders at the same time
I had YouTube opened as well
All one click away
Thanks to 2 screens
same
It's one of the reasons why I usually go to uni late night and stay over night if I have work that can only be done there
No one can judge me for dragging multiple school computers together so I have the multiple screen set-up hahah
i like having two screen when im programming it just makes it easier to switch
I was gonna get a NASA gaming computer
Now all my saving are going to college
😦
No new computer anymore
That's kinda the series of events that led to me having so many monitors and laptops. While doing school the first time I needed to multitask better and have more information for research pulled up. So I got 2 monitors, then a third one. Then I needed a laptop for school, so I bought a asus gaming laptop. Fast forward three years and now i'm working on game devolpment and stuff and needed a better GPU, but as we know, they are all sold out. SO I ended up getting another laptop with a 3070 in it.
My two screens are the laptop screen and a second bigger one
... ok i kinda see that but wow
Yeah. Honestly I probably could have sold stuff off as I got new stuff.
but i'm a tech hoarder.
3070 costs more than my laptop itself
Mine is a GeForce GTX 1050, i7, 16gb ram
It originally had 8gb ram but I added another memory card, now it’s 16
It was like $800 at the time
3070 is over $1000
:v
This is the laptop I grabbed https://store.acer.com/en-in/acer-nitro-5-gaming-laptop-amd- ryzen-9-5900hx -16gb-256gb-ssd -1tb hdd-nvidia-rtx-3070-windows-10-home-an515-with-39.6cm-15.6inches-fhddisplay-144hz-2.4 kgs

idk why they removed the listing from amazon, which is where I got it from.
Nice
I was gonna build a desktop
By budget was around $4000
At that cost I could run any program
yeah 4k would get you a banging setup
honestly you could probably get the highest possible end of a rig for that cost
if you shop smart
Yup
$4000 To spend on that would be so gooood
Money that now will go to college :v
It’s mostly because I’m moving away
yeah school T_T
I gotta pay rent
I feel it.
Since i'm in school right now for my 3rd and 4th degrees I can't get financial assistance anymore
so i'm paying for it all out of pocket
and holy christ graduate programs are fecking expensive.
I have two years left
That's not bad. I'm at about the same place right now. I'm hoping to graduate a bit early but honestly who knows what the future holds.
I’ll be graduating in September, got my last 2 exams next week
Then I’m off to do 3 more years in a new masters
thats the puddle i'm swimming in right now
Uni do be like that
I'm graduating in October!
I probably won't bother with masters tbh, I'll probably just go and work on my portfolio and keep trying to find work in my field haha
I’ll open an only fans account to sell foot pics
Maybe I can make some money that way
I'm really keen to not have to spend so much time studying and get paid for doing what I'm doing haha
I just went from school to working to wanting to switch majors and masters
I have two of them. Honestly didn't change much in my fields at all lmao
Because screw what I was originally doing
I’m getting a major in Computer Science with a minor in Business Administration
That's almost wwhat i'm working on now. I'm getting a graduate degree in computer science and a undergraduate in communications
Yeah I didn't finish my first degree because I realised after my first year that I would have hated working in that specific thing
I'm doing animation now :)
As long as you’re happy
Money can buy you a lot of things but not more time, so I’d rather not waste mine doing something I don’t enjoy, you know?
My first six years in school got me a Biology masters and Business Major. This time around i'm hoping for a Computer Science masters and a communications minor.
I'm nearly what you call a "Career student"
I went polar opposite I did a social studies major with a minor in business. Then worked as a mechanic instead and now switching majors and going for a masters in science of engineering
I’ll be a career student too I’ll keep you company
yay lol
Are you making a collection of degrees lol
A whole deck of certificates
I wasn't at first. But honestly yes lol.
I got the biology masters and business major so I could do very specific things. And I did do those things, and it was a lot of fun.
But then what I wanted to do changed.
So i'm working but going back to school for more degrees so I can do other things.
As a career student, I doubt I will ever make it to a doctorate level program. But having a couple masters degress is fine with me.
Yeah I did a year of a degree, decided I don't actually have as much interest in the jobs it would give me, taught for like 5 years and then went into animation
If I don't get a job straight away I don't mind, because it's given me a leg up on the skills I want to have
And if I can work in a job I don't care about to be able to find fulfillment in other areas of my life and go home to work on what I enjoy I'll be happy with that haha
Learning good but uni is too stressful for me to want to go back a lot I feel
Networking is as important as a degree
Gotta know people
To get opportunities
At least in my opinion
That's where my communications degree is coming in.
The ability to better manipu... Know people.
Yeah Know people. That's it.
Yeah networking is so important haha
I feel like so much in life comes down to luck and who you know (through luck, usually)
Some people are born with this talent
I have what they call a "silver tongue"
My professors always asked why i wasn't getting a law degree.
I have the innocent look
If I lie everyone believes me
I don’t like to lie though
I have a problem with that, sometimes I’m too honest
End up hurting peoples feelings
I don't enjoy lying. But I would be lying to say I wasn't good at it I suppose.
the more psychology and communications courses you take, the harder it becomes to not suit your communication styles to each person to get better outcomes.
That could be seen as manipulation
I'll usually divert a conversation if I feel like it's going somewhere that will hurt someone haha
Same
Don't have to do the lie or tell the truth decision then :')
“The sun is hot today, right?”
But what if they did..?
and they don't stop coming
and they don't stop coming
Guys stop
But Odin they don’t stop coming
Pls
If someone starts talking too much, just throw a random fact about WW2
but but but... They don't stop coming...
Being imposter in this game was so painful 😣
You did this Odin, sow the wind and reap the hurricane
I'm relieving all your chairs by my side in vallhalla.
@hallow kite will be pissed
But chairs don't need to pee, they don't have bladders
Find your mead elsewhere
Is this how Odin goes to war
How can the be relieved
Idk if you have seen my name. But the tables of valhalla aren't where i'm going to be sitting.
what
I'm relieving you of your duties chair
You’re being relieved from Valhalla Chair
You may sit in the corner instead
In valhalla, do valkyries double as strippers?
I don't think I'd bring that up with them
Sorry Chair I just think of you every time I see the word and then I miss your sweet words and I must see you one more time..
I'm relieving you of your existence, Nordic god
Shiit.
He just went there.
Poseidon supports this decision.
This chair's power rivals my own
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
👀
WHAT ARE YOU
I AM MYSTIC CHAIR! THE WARLORD OF IKEA
Choose your next words carefully, warlord, or I'll tip you just a tiny bit too far 💢
IKEA is the connection to the Norse gods, clearly
I tipped your son last night
Boi
I have no son
Not after he fell off the chair
He disgraced Åsgård, he was no longer worthy of his hammer.
this is why i threw all my chairs
now my house has no chairs at all
who ever just deleted that fire gif.
i wonder why i have no visitors
Shame on you
Duck! Can I call you ducky? It sounds good and I get the feeling you are cute
don't get involved in this, wait for your turn
maybe covid
you can call me what-duck-ever you want
I will take that as a yes, Ducky! You cutiepie you
(I panicked and deleted it because it was longer than I thought, but I'll put it back ahaha)
I prefer sofas >:(
Oh he went there
aight I have no idea what we went trough here, back to regular chair vs ducks mode
Fair enough
I just missed you Chair that’s all
Had to find an excuse to drag you in
So I offended the gods and got my chair thrown out of Valhalla
For you
aw that's sweet, Im reading the chat all the time, just playing Skyrim lol
Those chairs were specifically rescued from the battlefield by the wooden legged valkyries.
Throwing one out is sacrilege.
Lmao imagine a post stroke odin
I am relish
Wheelchair. Can't lift hammer.
Odin can lift thors hammer
Odin also has a hammer
What the hell just happened to me
and he has one of his own
🧐
Sorry I’m real sensitive about my heritage
as a matter of fact odin is the only being that could wield Mjolnir without wearing jarngreipr
For Odin is the All-father
Allpapa.
My title in Palia, All-Papia
Mostest papa
What’s happening?
Yes sir. Me and my SO are avid cuponers
My family does that a lot too
Practicing combat skills I see.
Right. Smart cuponing can save so much money it isn't even funny
Yup
Sounds like daddy issues to me.
Even when i'm shopping online I still use Honey and stuff.
I use Ibotta
nah, legendary difficulty so NPCs are practicing combat skills on me
Skyrim is great
One of the reasons I wanna get a better computer is to play heavily modded Skyrim
Especially ENB
Which makes the game look more realistic
But requires a strong pc
Scam
Scam
Scam
Talk about daddy issues. We have an Odin, Poseidon and Artemis in the chat.
didn't even have chance to notice lol
And I'm still waiting for my Loki. 
To expired insurance scams
Honestly loki could be anyone of these people.
only @snow bough would probably know, and he probably doesn't care enough to tell us.
ARE YOU ^$@%@# KIDDING ME
MCDONALDS APP IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID 6.0.1 ANYMORE?
OH C'MON
FFS!
Imagine having to go there O.o that's scary
They don't have the money to update the app Chair, they're but a small.. ind..ie.. company..?
Man those legendary mode NPCs really are tough
so it would work on my device
(Mystic chair doesn't wanna new device)
after a certain point, supporting the oldest versions of OS's would require having two versions of the app.
Im hoping MC's character in skyrim has chair model
Wait MCdonald....
I get it, but c'mon - Android 7.0 is THAT old?
Mystic Chair...is that you
I don't think so
they betrayed me.
But It is like 5 years old
and the most recent update for android 7.0 was 21 months ago, which means andoid has stopped supporting it.
either way, I agree that it's stupid and lame
I just want a damn coupon...
eh. I don't wanna buy a new phone but if my apps start dying now I will be forced to do so.
it's just another built in system to try and push consumers into updating there devices to more expensive and modern versions.
They can't make money if you keep the same phone from 2016 forever
so this kind of shit tries to push you into upgrading.
I would LOVE to buy a new phone, I want ZTE Axon 10 Pro but for duck's sake, I need to save money....
Next phone i'm getting is the pixel 6.
I've owned the 2, and currently own the 4xl and I love'em
wide boi, just googled it
Yeah the pixel 6 pro, which is the one I will likely get, is basically just a tablet lmao
it's like a 7 inch screen or something.
my current pixel 4xl is only 6.2 inches and it's already massive.
Modular devices.
Yum
There was one a couple years ago
called like project ara
but I think it fell through
aight bois, I have almost 0 knowledge about phones. If you can recommend something, please help old chair
It was also by google
Like I said. I love pixel phones. I've owned Iphones, Samsungs, LG's, Moterolas. But the one I use for my personal day to day and love is pixel.
they are cheap, sturdy, have a longer update schedual for getting new android versions than any other android phone series
and they get all the neat new features sometimes years in advanced because since google makes android and pixel, they test all the new features through pixel users
so, they are making new pixel right now, yes?
Plus they use a stronger charger then most phones can handle. I can charge my phone from dead to 100% in like literally a half hour, and I get two heavy days of use out of it
Yeah
the pixel 6 which is the one I was talking about a while ago
the big boi
it comes out in october and is retailing for like 600$
what was the phone before that?
Which one? The pixel 4?
that's the one I have now
pixel4 xl
Buy Google Pixel 4 XL - Just Black - 128GB - Unlocked: Everything Else - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases
When you think about the fact that it rivals the S10+ when it came out and was like 480$ cheaper it's pretty good actually.
yeah, but I can't really afford prices for this phone in my country eh
normally I wouldn't care but I need to save money for 2 more years or so
Yeah understandable.
Honestly they are the cheapest option between google, samsung and apple
however...
Mmm I the oneplus phones are about 5-600 USD as wwell
To find a good phone
imma need your budget
or estimated budget at least
well I still need to compare prices here, but if it's the same case I won't have a choice
it will hurt but whatever. I was aiming to get new phone after I get my own flat but I guess I'm forced now
oh I'm not from the US, Im from Poland :D
Yeah, i just put things into USD because most countries can translate it pretty easily.
my budget is around 1000 PLN, which is around 258 $
Hmm well for just a little more then that you can get the pixel 4a, which is like the slightly smaller and cheaper version of the pixel 4xl
Buy Google Pixel 4a - New Unlocked Android Smartphone - 128 GB of Storage - Up to 24 Hour Battery - Just Black: Everything Else - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases
From five to six hunda wooooah :^)
Where do you find 5 dollar phones
Amazon.com: Moto G Power | 3-Day Battery1 | Unlocked | Made for US by Motorola | 4/64GB | 16MP Camera | 2020 | Black
here is a moto G power that comes in at 219 USD
and it has fantastic reviews
I think I'll go for the Google Pixel 4a. It's 1700 PLN here, so 438.05 USD
Cool, I don't think you'll regret it.
plus because of the update schedual you will still be getting the new versions of android for another year or so.
they ahve like a 7 year update lifespan
which is MUCH longer then samsungs 2 year lifespan
So you won't have to worry about apps becoming obsolete for years.
so I get the phone and they support my OS for 7 years?
Yep
damn.
all new version of android that come out will first come out to your pixel phone
3140 mAh, seems bit low but eh, I need power bank anyways
I started on Android 8 and i'm at like 13 now.
Yeah, I got a powerbank as well. The real difference between the 4a and the 4xl that i have is screen size and battery size
but it's not that significant
Oh nevermind the 4a is actually a tiny bit bigger then 4xl lol
yeah it's a great phone
BE AWARE
they don't ahve a headphone port.
Blutooth only. Unless you get a USB-C to Aux cable.
4XL has 3700 mAh battery, ain't worth it packing twice the price for that
Exactly
boi my headphones are dead
I will get new ones, but I learned to survive in public transport without them haha
Cool so it won't be an issue for you.
yeah, anyways every company removes minijack now so gotta adapt
wow yeah, it looks like over here a pixel 4a is 349 USD.
True true.
watching oddtaxi gives me anxiety
yeah nothing new, always getting fucked on prices... I love my government
See it's actually more expensive here then it was where I came from.
I'm from sa
tech there was dirt cheap
here in the US it's more expensive.
I miss sa T_T
anyways, thank you @lethal bolt so much, I'll be getting that pixel 4a
my current phone is... jesus, battery is dying (charging it to 100% will leave it at 80% after few minutes of usage). The battery will freeze sometimes if there is too cold outside. Not terribly cold, a simple cold from air conditioning will cause it to drop to 0% in a second. Or when I open camera app. Charging socket is damaged too. And my LCD is in pieces lol.
mic is basically dead at this point, sometimes I have to scream for other people to hear me
and camera has glitches sometimes...
and now the mcdonald app is not working.
yep, it's time for replacement
5a will probably be announced/released next month, just wait.
the 5a will be cheaper, but while being the next line in the series it's actually quite a bit weaker then the 4a
They wanted to do premium with 4 and cheap price point with 5.
For the difference of like 60$ I would still get the 4a.
but that's just me.
though the 5a is apparently coming with a aux port on it, which is super kush
I miss the headphone jack on my 4xl
The pixel 6 is supposed to have a 50mp wide angle camera on it T_T I want it.
Actually I retract my earlier statement. It might actually be better to wait for the 5a
I need a new phone too tbh
is the pre-alpha sign up still active? or did they stop being sent out
I would still sign up they will do more waves
Yeah I signed up today! 🙂
Same
They did send out the 1400 they said they were going to send out for pre-alpha, but there's no downside to signing up still!
I saw there isn't a voice chat channel in the server, any particular reason or... Nay?
I already asked that exact question
Oop- Haha.
They said it's because they won't be able to moderate it properly
Ah... Makes sense.
they don't want a voice channel without enough moderators taking care of it
Hey, peoples. 👋
If I remember correctly isn't there a bot or something akin to that which can log voice chats... Or am I thinking about something else.
It's most likely it's not easily moderated to have voice channels
Ah well, thought for later.
Things like keeping it to english, PG, etc etc
I might be thinking about something else in my head.
Discord is too toxic. If someone must moderate a voice channel they will stay there the whole day banning people especially considering how big of a server this is
^
Sounds horrible, not even in my past days of moderation/administration did I have to deal with that problem.
Even though this is a very wholesome community, vc presents certain issues
Had a few problems in some servers but never on a large scale.
You were either lucky or your server wasn't big enough ]
Oh it was most likely luck.
91000 members it's bound to have moderation issues
It's even harder considering how scammers/bots/trolls raid big servers all the time
even here early today there was a bot trying to scam people. It was banned quickly though
Aye... There should however be a bot in this server which can take care of people who raid....
Well, in the sense of deleting the auto spamming (Which is common.)
But I'm assuming there's new tricks in this server...
Nearly 94k members, that’s great! 🙂
something along the lines of needing help and click [here] to check more
Ah...
usually its phishing steam links
I had an idea it was something like that.
Yeah those are a huge problem to deal with.
Not all scammers are dumbasses
some of them are quite smart
and build a deceitful bot
Hah. It's those who are intelligent that hold true meaning in the word 'malice'.
“Hey, I accidentally reported you on Steam, please message my friend, he’s Jeff Bezos’ nephew and he will get you out of trouble”
🤦♀️
Those are the dumb ones ^
Yep, sounds pretty normal in some servers.
"Hello handsome. I couldn't help but notice how good you are at this game. Add me so we can play together. <3"
meanwhile I'm playing CSGO and I'm at 3/25 K/D
:v
The thing is, lonely people actually fall for this and it’s sad really, when you think of it
Am I the only one who never gets a single scam message whether on discord, steam or email?
they like a guy who can drag down their mmr
I haven't gotten a message of the sort in like 10 years
I'm actually handsome so I almost clicked on it
“HANDSOME? It must be true!”
There're bots/people like that even on Snapchat
I accidentally accepted the friend request of someone once
Yeah I guess that's the thing I don't use any social media, no snap, tiktok, twitter, facebook, etc etc
no insta
I got discord and steam das it xD
It's all sweet and sexy until they send you a link that looks like russ14ngh890hg . com
I track down the IP of the website
then you can check the domain and when it was created
most scam websites are a few days old
and located someone in Asia, like in Russia
Sneaky Russians!
I have Facebook only to keep in touch with family members in other countries. Snapchat because I have a ton of old high school friends there. Instagram because it's good to follow people you just met to keep in touch.
I barely use them though
I'm ol fashioned and just use text messages
When I first meet someone and the person seems like a nice person to have a friend, I give them my Instagram
I don't give my number to anyone
Unless it's a college girl from my college
Then I just can't say no
I don’t give my number out, but I still seem to get calls about a “car accident that wasn’t my fault”. 🤔
I give my discord out to randoms, but I've known the same people/friends for 12 years so I only text or keep in touch with them xD
Neither, I mean like here
I have 20 people in my phone rn. I know them all
Anyone can dm me and I don't mind
I try to keep my social circle to a small amount, I never understood the need for 5000 facebook friends
same
Suddenly I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has a small circle.
As someone who uh... Is considered a hermit and an introvert, I'll stick to my 3 best friends.
What's that saying, your real friends you can count on 1 hand
I used to think I was introverted
After covid quarantine I don't think so anymore
I'm extroverted
I gotta talk to people
I'm 100% introvert, I need time away from people to recharge
Eh. I can say I'm an introvert, since I haven't gone outside of the house properly in more than 5 years.
I'm usually quiet. But if I don't talk to people for too long I start feeling anxious
I sadly need to fix it and for that I'm thankful for my job.
And also why I'm on discord.
I got a deal with my school and past jobs that I need to be able to just walk out for a while if I need it, or I never get through it
Considering that I need to talk to people, It's a big thing for me. Which can lead to stupid anxious moments.
like in front of 40-50 people
I would get kinda nervous at first. Now I'm so used to it
😂 Welcome to my world, philosophy teacher of 90 students.
I feel ya
This one time Zoom wouldn't work
I know how teachers feel
lmao
It's an acquired talent
Oh it's... Horrible on my end if I can't finish my work. The problem is that I'm a workaholic and a social wreck.
How ironic is that.
My nervousness was coming mostly from the fact that English is my second language
Didn't even notice.
so I would be too afraid to make a mistake in front of a crowd
Eyy mine too ^^
Yeah
Mistakes are next to vital to learning
I soon accepted the little mistakes
The first step is acknowledging your mistakes
then working to fix them
To grow is to yearn and the yearning leads to wanting to know and through that you learn through your past and present mistakes.
"The first step to solving any problem is recognizing there is one" - best quote, use it daily
A little philosophy for you. Free of charge.
“Watch your thoughts, they become your words;
watch your words, they become your actions;
watch your actions, they become your habits;
watch your habits, they become your character;
watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”
― Lao Tzu
"Spirit of humanity is to carry on in the face of certain defeat"
Reminds me of this quote.
Hi off topic peeps
Ralph Ellison — 'Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.'
It is that quote
Granted, a bit different but the wording is similar.
😂 Glad to help.
Goes hand in hand with "life is what happens while you're busy making other plans"
He did
Oho-
It's not mandelbrot effect I can tell you that
It's funny because the topic of philosophy in this area isn't what I specialise in.
That would be morals and ethics.
HOHOHO- this is interesting.
Morals and ethics is such an interesting field for the sake that there rarely is a right answer
I'm still studying a bit to reach my full title/profession as a prof.
Hit me up I wanna take your class
I should reach that title in 3 years. Hopefully.
I got my masters then hopefully as well we can trade tradesecrets
Haha, I gave one of my little lectures (A start) in a other server.
I wonder if I can post it here. It's a bit long though.
I would say walls aren't wanted but I don't know, but we can definitely talk about it
Sensei
Hm. The way I try and teach my students (to try and make it fun and interactive) is through historical context and background of the subject/person.
老师
Last time it was ironically about Sun Tzu.
Are you teaching your students how to wage a war?
Sounds weird if you think about it. "Sun Tzu? What does that have to do with morals and ethics?"
How to be a good general
Hold up professor we cant talk about Sun Tzu, we'll teach the Chapaa Chu war how to fight properly
Sun Tzu's Art of War was tremendously influential in shaping how countries war against each other.
That's the 101 How to War
😂 It's a break off of how the Art of War has a moral point of view in today's standards and how they have the impact on kids/teenagers/adults of today.
What kind of impact?
I'm glued for this
The impact would be....
👀
lol
Come on prof. you got this, TL;DR version
JUST DO IT!
I believe in you!
Alright I got it.
"They are pressured by the 'normal' of today's standards, not being able to express themselves without being considered 'weird' or 'abnormal', thanks to that they end up getting social anxiety, a necklace and tag they gave themselves such as "Ugly" or "Weird", so the one way to remove it? Become your enemy. Most children and adults of today grow in a place where standards are considered the norm, expectations are grounded into their mind... Simply said by Sun Tzu; “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” and this is how most children fall into a society of normality."
So...submission?
Peer pressure if you would.
It's an interesting topic and for that it is what many would consider 'wrong'.
Conformity is a topic I speak weekly about
Aye, it's very unique in the sense that when it comes to ethics and such there is no right or wrong.
Only 'personal bias'.
So to speak anyway.
When I see people born with privileges saying that they can't do anything but they're not even trying. It kinda makes me mad
Well, rightfully so. It's a different kind of mindset which makes everyone different in that scenario.
But uh, that's something which not many would wish to delve into because it can get rather heated.
true
I always found the questions between logic and ethics. When something may have a factual absolute solution, it may absolutely collide with ethics
And when to ignore ethics and solve the problem, vice versa
It can be summed up like this.
"The Heart vs the Brain. Emotion or logic? Which comes first?"
The short answer?
Whichever feels more natural to you.
Corporations ignore ethics and follow only the most logical process in order to maximize their profit
If you think about it
Makes sense
Hence the clash of people xD
I think this topic is volatile and i think you can apply the sayin "double edged sword" in it aswell
Very much so
From my point of view...
Oho, that is very true. Which is why I enjoy teaching the topic to my students under a few rules I incorporated for them.
Corporations have to because you can't pick which people's feelings to care about and you have to disregard everybody's
And only look at numbers
Money was such a problematic invention
I think that a ton of people follow a more logical way of thinking about problem happening to those around them or the world. However, once the problem starts to affect them, they switch to a more ethical view point
^ I'd like to pose an disagreement to this, if I may?
Sure
It goes as follows;
"1.You are allowed to talk with each other in class if it's related to the subject we are teaching and as long as it isn't bothering other students.
2. You are allowed to interrupt/ask me a question mid lecture IF it is related to the question at that very moment.
3. If you have questions related to it that are not directly towards the subject then talk to me after class."
These are the rules I gave my class.
sips can of coke snobbish way cause this looks like gathering of people with multiple educations
However, notice that I said "ton of people" as in many. Not "most." I'm not trying to generalize it
sounds ok
I feel in modern society there's more and more dogmatism and confusion that just because you are allowed your opinion, that it has to be catered to. That opinion matters as fact. And even in a purely factual conversation, emotion trickles in very quickly. People think with their feelings more and more instead of with their reasoning.
Glad to create a topic in this server. 😂
Hey it's a very good topic as long as people can remain civil
we need a new channel called "Controversial"
It's not even controversial it's just a sensitive one for some people
Because it's close to the chest
That's exactly why
Controversial isn't needed in this server (as a channel).
alright
I believe the people here are mature enough to handle the topic as adults and not as brutes.
And if someone has a problem with it, that people are mature enough to dial down a bit for a while
Okay something completely different.
Hit me baby one more time
Am I the only one who thinks of the quote "Et tu, Brute?" when I say brutes?
I know that but not the proper meaning but i like it for whatever reason
Definitely not just you
It kinda just means "you too?"
in a sense of being betrayed
If I may . I believe that that apply in most cases. However, whenever there is a goal such as profit behind the action, many individuals tend to ignore the ethical part of it to achieve their goal.
Oh yes that I absolutely agree with, well put
VENI, VIDI, VICI!!!
However... I must declare that Julius Caesar himself never said the quote.
I am curious how many things are not influenced by coin?
It was only said in the play by William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar".
You got sources for that? 👀 were you there? I am joking
I was maybe there, in the days of yonder.
Hello everyone! I hope y’all are having a good day/night! 

Evening Anna.
Hello. We're having a philosophical discussion :p
Good evening too
I reckon if there was such a position as spectator i would give it a go
Heh, I can't help but feel giddish whenever I see my question in #851872239435644928 get upvotes.
I’m doing good! Thank you so much for asking! And how are you? 
I'm doing very well Anna thank you dear
I'm zoning out
I get the same feeling when I see my emotes
then coming back
Sleep then.
I'm like a GPS with low wifi connection
It is sorta something "you created"
^ well put
So in a way i reckon its sorta knowledge for your work
When Palia gets released, I'll make a guild called Philosopher's Stone if I can
Aye. It's a very nice feeling to see how many people have the same train of thought.
My train has no rails.
So far I'm also rather impressed with how many my first question got...
Neither I've been outside the societies confinements since birth
Which speaks volumes for me.
How interesting! 
It also helps if you are known
Hahaha, I joined.... When did I join.
Sigh
Let me see.
I feel old
Videogames used to entertain me more than nowadays
Now books and gym seems a lot more fun many times
I got here 06/03/2021
I'm 19 already
Nice.
;-;
so in your format that'd be 03/06
Being known is not matter of time per'se but rather how people see you and in what light
It’s such a good question! I would love that to be in the game! ✨
✨
I'm fairly new
Fame and infamy basically.
I've been here since the first 3000 people O.o
Woah lol
I'm assuming you're talking about the Voice acting question?
And now there is like 30k!
Or the newest one?
There's like 94k 👀
and you still haven't gotten the Alpha key?
lol
I consider myself known or in not so great light, i have strong opinions which are currently aganst the majority of the "political climate"
Unknow*
Sorry didnt proof read my text
I mean there's only been 2 waves and only 1400 people ^^ invites didn't go out until there was like 80k people here
Oh newest one, I didn’t scroll all the way up 
No problem.
Ima check it out!
Holy god! 
Surely mustve been the wind
Skyrim reference ftw.
Only question I've asked is if they do escort quests will it be at snail pace as always or will the npc move at relative speed
@austere aspen the voice one is so amazing! I would really love that! I love games that make their dialogues with real life voices!
I wouldn't mind voice acting for Ashura.
Whoops, off topic heading into palia topic.
I checked and I already voted for it lol
How contradicting to the topic of this channel.
Ree anger get on topic shidoodles outta here grr angy.
Omg voicing a character sounds so fun!
This has never happened before, what is happening
😂 I'm bound to make things happen which have never happen before.
We talking about Palia in here LOL
IKR.
You know how the ancient chapaa vs chuu was technicly ontopic and offtopic at the same time
Wacky paradox
Sadly I wouldn't know because I wasn't here when it happened.
But yeah, I really love it when games have voice actors! Makes it so interactive!
I saw it.. with me own eyes
It was when off topic had IMAGE permissions
The ancient war has subsided into a truce
So back in the days of yore.
well, more of an armistice
Heh.
And the chaapa and chuu took arrow to the knee, both of them, different knees
👀 Which game? Since we're definitely not talking about Palia in an off topic channel.
Skyrim
Yes, Nirn...
Do link if someone mods... cough chachu... in skyrim
Nexusmods
👀
Hey
No no, keep it SFW.
👀
Cough
sorry
cough
I misclicked
Yes, truly.
Install ENB
Nexus mods is nice though for quality mods for a lot of games, I approve of your cultured stature
in your Skyrim
As much as i like 3D, it distracts philosophy
*Reality.
Oh speaking of philosophy!
Aye?
Aye? Yes Berry?
"What's the meaning of life?"
Have you seen the movie on Netflix "I am mother"?
They presented a very good ethical dilemma
Yes
That's... a topic I can only answer with this.
what dilemma?
"The meaning of life is however you wish it to be. Whether it is what you consider right or wrong, that is the meaning of life for you, at that moment."
I have not watched "I am mother", I'll watch it later maybe.
You should watch Black Mirror
If a doctor has 5 patients, all patients need transplants or they will die and the are not treatable any other way. a 6th patient comes in, dying but treatable, but is also a match for all 5 other patients. Do the doctor treat the 1 and let the 5 die, or lets the 1 die and treat the 5
every episode of Black Mirror has a different dilemma
then the dilemma evolves that the doctor is the 6th patient
In my response to that is as follows;
"For the greater good of humanity to take a life to save many more then it is needed to take many lives to save but one."
Yeah but they've also sworn to do no harm, it's a whole ethical nightmare
Yep, very contradicting.
But it can be bypassed if the 6th patient offered up their life for saving everyone else.
Again there's no answer to it, it's all personal bias
That is all what changes it a bit.
Aye.
Hippocrates makes this a troublesome thing...
Assuming you got no information except your eyes and situation 6 or 1
I mean 5 or 1
Isn't this basically the railroad dilemma?
Ye
Yeah it's a very simplified situation, the 5 need transplants or they die. the 6th is dying but treatable
Or uh *Trolley problem.
Trolley problem solved by looping the track 👀
Heh.
Multirail drifting to gain bad karma.
Elder please, lol.
There's actually a very current dilemma regarding self driving cars
What i can tell if one walked away from all 6 its close to dooming them yourself
So path forward is a must
#💬│palia-discussions is suddenly looking very dreary/silent.
Yeah that's the dilemma in the doctor's position for they've sworn to do no harm, so they can't do nothing
Was there a trole again?
No just silence ^^
Not that I know of.
As 3 people in total talk.
People can judge me all they want ^^ it won't alter my reality
Alright, I'm going to head into #💬│palia-discussions.
I'm used to people not agreeing with me, it's why I'm in therapy haha
I'll follow you!
If ya are famed or infamous enough it would
Thanks for watching!

good timezone all
"First, do no harm" isn't actually in the Hippocratic oath.
Also depending on the medical institution they will either use a separate code from the Hippocratic oath or no code at all. Also the hippocratic oath is a moral and ethical guideline some doctors decide to pledge too, it's not actually legally binding, and violating the various parts of the oaths doesn't demonstrate an ethical issue at least from a hospital or legal standpoint.

Credit card declines
Doctor: 🥊
Morning. 🥱
good morning!
Morning!
Hummmm.... I want to make some pancakes.
Haha. Maybe I'll heat up the outdoor pan and make some huge ones for lunch.
Hi, Palians. 
Helloo~~
This mess is overwhelming. 😑 I try to organice our new kitchen and I feel like I have all the kitchen tools of the whole world.
Why can't I get an emoji in my name?
🧐
😢
Good evening everyone! I hope y’all are doing good! 
You can put one there with the emojis that are already on your phone
That’s how it works for my iPhone
Idk how it works with other phones
Omg yum! Now I want to too!

I couldn't put in the one I wanted, so I'll live without!
Thanks for solving the mystery though!!!
Ooh! I found it! Thanks again!
I'm glad to have helped! You're welcome @dull basalt! 
I love how the emote matches your name! Very creative! I love it! 
Anna banana!
Hello hello! 

Huh. There will be a huge thunderstorm today. 🤔
I love thunderstorms
Happy death day
Yeah too hot to sleep. Need some rain over here.
THX
UK gang
We neeeeed some rain or smth lol
Normaly everyone is complaining that its to cold and now its to hot
Heat waves in the UK are nasty. Buildings are constructed to absorb and trap heat, and no one has air conditioning. So people start getting heat stroke and keeling over when it gets past around 87°F
We're cooking in our homes
Yeah same here in the netherlands tbh
But now its a bit beter tho but 2 weeks ago it was like 34 degrees celcius (cause why would you use fahrenheit)
Up until this week we were getting enough rain to keep it reasonable.
Yeah we also got some rain this week
Easter was ridiculous! I was in the shade all day and my skin still felt burnt the next day even though it wasn't sunburnt
I think I've gotten just stupid photosensitive in the last year
I am Irish pale ginger - I burn in 3 minutes 😂😂
You look like you have brown hair in your pf
I am so very ginger. My skin glows in the dark.
I have it as Anna Banana because banana rhymes with my name! I also love eating bananas 
Gingers are adorible
So I guess both hahaha
Hahah okay
Omg LOL! Me!
I’m hella pale lol
Did you get the enhanced night vision? I did!
Wait are you also ginger?
Heck nah lol, I still bump into stuff during the day! 
Nu, I’m a blondy 
No night vision for yooooou
It's okay, you can still hang with us in the shade!
It’s interesting how my hair turns somewhat ginger in dim lighting and when I don’t wash it in like 3 days lol
And I’m platinum blonde when direct lighting hits me aha
I need day vision too hahaha
I’m just so clumsy at times lol
Secret ginger!
Heck yeah! Only in the shadows! 
Amazing!

I have every shade of red from strawberry blonde to dark auburn. But no freckles.
I have one or two freckles on my arms, but none otherwise
Omg that sounds so beautiful and ahhhhhh! I wish I had feckless! Ahahaha
Freckles are so beautiful!
I think so too! I wish I had some!
Did you know that you can get them tattooed not permanently! It has been a summer trend amongst woman some years ago (idk how it is now lol)!
Man maybe they do them permanently nowadays, who knows lol
I would never do it permanently! As much as I love them, I would never want to do that to my face aha
They never look right, from what I've seen. They always pick ink colours that are too dark.
It depends. Do you have any red at all in your hair?
If it's properly brown, you shouldn't have any trouble. If it's got a lick of auburn in it, I don't recommend it.
I dont have any red in my hair no
It takes a lot of professional work to get red out of your hair, and you could easily burn your hair off trying to get it neutral enough to take on that colour group. This is why I'm not able to have blue hair like I want.
If you're not sure about the colour suiting you, try a wig first and see how you feel about it. Not the gross Halloween wigs. You can get decent ones for pretty cheap if you look.
But i dont wanna dye it red i wanna dye it grey
I dont know what auburn means 😅
Like a reddish brown
Oh noo its very dark brown
@shy smelt oehh you got a dachshund thats kjoet
Whatever your heart desires! Lol 
Could wait a couple years to save money
Ooooooh what an interesting topic!
I love talking about hair so much!
But unfortunately I do need my sleep!
I will get back to this topic!
Toodles! Take care everyone! 
No one is a stranger here, were al pals
hi
I rather start with strangers and see how it goes

Uh oh. How so?

Ahh, I see. Poor dear. It's anger o'clock.
Two years ago today I didn't watch anime or even much tv for the matter but when the morning news came on with that breaking news from Japan I was stunned because I knew how prominent anime was over in Japan and throughout on YouTube I saw community tab post, posting about the death and injured from that arson attack on Kyotoanimation and after every video I watched the death and injured count would rise and keep on rising and as more details where released the worse the attack got the man intentionally blocked off the front exit forcing people to find other ways out the fact that so many people died climbing up the stairwell not to mention the also huge amount of non human casualties a ton of art for there upcoming anime gone their 3D animation computers and data gone company photos and records gone some of the key managment personal gone the and those young aspiring animators and artists who never got the chance to use their talent the only good thing I remember about that day was a GoFundMe page made by Sentai Filmworks which in a day raised over 2 million U.S dollars and the fact that all that money would go to the victims families now fast forward to 2021 I'm watching AOT Re zero and other anime this attack hopefully will remain the worst attack on anime in history Kyotoanimation 2 years later 🌸
My non English brain has real dificulties while reading this.
it's quite the text block
Hello

Still hurts my brain. 🙈
