~40 hours literally a few days ago. Had a project due date through which I procrastinated heavily. Not proud of that one.

I don't think I experienced any hallucinations, but it sucked. What was weird was that by hour ~33, I tried going to sleep, but failed and ultimately got back up. Hopefully never again.

Edit: just occurred to me as well that of that time, I worked for 20 straight hours. Don't be like me.

In about five hours I'm getting rinsed by my MMO of choice.

Xaku Prime Access, baby T_T

Yep. It's hard to point that out when my reasoning gets sucked into a circular black hole.

I'm done responding. People that can be helped can read this thread in the future and maybe realize something about themselves.

You think you're perfect. You are not. No one is. I am not saying you are a racist. You are a human with human biases.

What you've just told me is that you have no interest in discovering and changing yourself to help make a difference. Not to be on any sort of moral high-ground, but I have a really tough time with people that have no desire to learn and improve.

What I'm going to ignore is your assertion that philosophy is not relevant to daily life. That is the stupidest claim in this thread, and it is at the very core of your (subconscious) bigotry. If you can't see that, then there is no next step.

Would you say skin color is relevant in our daily lives just because some people think it is?

Yes. That was my point. Check your privilege. You don't have to be a flagrant racist to subconsciously make decisions and judgements based on race (and gender).

I'm not going to explain how inherent and human biases work. If you care to start making a difference, then it's up to you to understand that you're not perfect and learn how to start changing how you see and affect the world beyond your idealist rose-colored glasses.

I also said nothing about excluding philosophy discussions. Please do not put words in my mouth.

I don't have to.

"Is irrelevant" and "should be irrelevant" are two different things. Fighting by saying the issues are not there—regardless of your actual opinion—has rarely, if ever, worked. It's the same as the "I don't see color" argument.

Also, why would we exclude philosophical discussion? The point is to make you think. I also don't know who this particular person is in the OP, but the question itself has no bias. Maybe this highlights our philosophical differences, but I firmly believe that understanding a system is the most crucial step to revolutionizing it.

Personally I did not need to put anything into energy for Koumei besides Equilibrium and Synth Deconstruct.

I am very much a "use the right tool for the right job" type player, and your Warframes are tools just as much as your weapons are. Of course you mix the fun in there, but the point is to not make a Warframe into something they're not and expect efficiency and effectiveness.

As someone in this post already said, Koumei is a probability/statistics frame at her core. She has a ramp up period with each mission, and so in order to almost guarantee effectiveness, the biggest resource you have is time. In other words, she is not going to be effective in short missions. The other big resource you have is your arsenal i.e. the tools you can control going in. The trick is to maximize that by using tools and mods that will mostly give you stats that you know will not be provided by decrees.

So most notably that means not focusing too much on ability strength and efficiency in your arsenal, and instead focusing on interactions that can proc off of the decree effects, or flat modifiers for stats that won't be touched by decrees such as range and duration.

And the last thing is to accept that your run might suck for the first 30 or so minutes. By around 30-40 minutes, based on probability, your run should start to settle in and you'll see the pay-off of the decrees.

I have not personally subsumed any abilities yet, but the candidates would be her 3 primarily, and potentially also her 1. Omamori isn't very useful in its current state considering it doesn't actually prevent you from dying, and more or less is worthless beyond the small window between not needing damage mitigation and being prone to one-shot damage. Kumihimo is also fairly redundant in the context of her 4, and can be removed if you have no real need for diet Bunraku.

Alternative title: I turned Koumei into every other frame.

If you're going to get rid of the crux of her kit, really just play another frame. Of course to each their own, but I'm tired of seeing people complain about Koumei when they haven't really given her the chance and used her in a way she'll shine.

It's like when Tenet Glaxion came out and everyone tried to make it into Torid Incarnon. Surprised Pikachu face.

It's gotten to a point where I just go ahead append a warning that I have no source and am just making casual conversation.

I've heard the maxim that money doesn't change who you are, but it amplifies. I think that tends to be true. However, the people you are exposed to in light of that money I think definitely can change who you are.

So yes, money can lead to corruption, but generally it's in an indirect way.

Would you trust your government to fairly and equitably decide who gets such treatments?

The scientific, societal, and economic aspects of eugenics are inextricable.

I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?
