Yup. Sad ain't it...

Is that a near implication that they might be trying to do to you what Facebook is doing to it's users?

I've always been of the opinion of "If it isn't something you NEED, then don't take it." I have had the opportunity to get some really cool painkillers before, (pulled wisdom teeth, major ear infections, etc.) but I have yet to actually take any of the pills. I know what they do, and have no reason to take them. Your particular psychosis I also have, but I suspect that my upbringing and personal experience has led me to be able to control their effects much better than you. I do not take pills, but I have figured out ways of mitigating most of the effects. ADD/ADHD, listen to music while doing everything, while doing that try to listen to different aspects of the music, and see if you can figure out what makes certain sounds, harmonies, etc. Social anxiety, that's a hard one... It's hard when all you want to do is either melt into the corner and be invisible, or leave the crowd... Or worse, remove the crowd. (I occasionally have that one) I find that one still extremely difficult to get past, and I still just have to outright fight it, and put on a front that I actually am enjoying myself. (personally, I think being forced to be in a crowd is one of the worst tortures there is) Another thing that seems to work for me in small crowds (less than 30 people) is becoming the center of attention. (embarrassing usually, but more often than not you'll get a lot of people that like you, and the crowded feeling all of a sudden starts to just die away) That's just me though.

I would donate blood if I didn't have a unique reaction to the needle being in me... All of the blood being pumped to my extremities gets sucked back to my core, and it can actually suck the blood out of the vacuum vials. (only seen it happen once though) Only way to get it to flow is to take it straight from a semi-major/major vein, and hope I don't black out. (if I do black out, my heart is stopped, and it has almost happened twice) This reaction has led to my extreme dislike of needles designed to withdraw blood or give injections. As for organ donor, I am one... I figure, once I'm dead, if they can find an organ that I'm not using (all of them) that they can use, then why not... I'm not going to be using it for the foreseeable future, right?

True... Even most insane people with homicidal tendencies would find somewhere better to start shooting. I'll give it one more week.

Not satisfied with the discussion, just done trying to explain reality to someone who is either a troll or is intentionally ignoring what is being said.

No emptier than assumptions applied as facts. Yes, but when you inaccurately describe it as "that object moving, and this one not" it is not following even your own definition of the word 'fact'. I think in the root of this there is some debate about the fundamental nature of the universe containing relativistic properties, which does pose some relevance to philosophies that would exclude a relativistic universe (similar to the discussions about the indeterministic implications of quantum mechanics), but if this is too much of a physics debate, I wouldn't be opposed to splitting off these posts and/or making a new thread. I would be fine with splitting it off too, but I think I've covered my point thoroughly enough.

Physics behaves slightly different with objects in motion than it does with objects at rest... Look it up. "That object is in motion and this one isn't, just because it looks like that one is moving to me while I'm on this object" is a false statement, simply because it uses an ASSUMPTION. "That object is moving relative to this object" isn't right either, it's not a FACT. FACT would be "that object appears to be moving in relation to this object". Any other statement is either incomplete or false.

There is one phenomenon, yes, but the details of the phenomenon actually do change based on your frame of reference. If I'm in space and an object comes soaring past me, from my frame of reference it would be perfectly accurate for me to say that I am at rest and this object has velocity, but from the frame of the object, it is correct to say that I have velocity and this object is at rest. There is no way to physically determine which is actually the case, so we have to conclude both are correct statements, even though taken together, both I and the object simultaneously are at rest and have a velocity. This isn't merely some sort of illusion. Space are time aren't actual things, all they are is the relationship between events and objects, and the relationship something has with another thing changes with regards to the observational position you take. Since the relationships are actually changing, spacetime changes based on your frame of reference. Again, the video series I linked to has a much more in-depth analysis of the subject, so if you haven't already I'd suggest viewing a couple of them. You either didn't understand what I said, or you just ignored the meaning of the words. That may partly have been my fault. You are assuming that at least one of the objects is not moving just because you are viewing form one of the object's positions, but if each look like they're moving, then logically each could be moving or only one could be moving. There could even bee a gravity well passing by distorting your view of a stationary object making it look like it's moving, even if it isn't. It may appear to be a fact from your current viewpoint, but if you state a false fact instead of what the fact actually is... ("That object is moving, this object is not" VS. "That object appears to be moving in relation to this object")

You should be able to set an additional Steam folder on your second drive in the "Settings"->"Downloads + Cloud"->"Steam Library Folders". Once you have a new folder for it, you should be able to just copy over the game folders (maintaining the directory structure) from your Steam folder. You'll need to restart Steam afterwards though.

Glad I'm not the only one that has a sense of decency when I see someone injured. Be proud of yourself meffer5!

It is only what you see that changes, but what IS does not change, no matter what you see... It may appear to be conflicting facts, but if they truely are facts, then they can't truly conflict. Your viewpoint is the only thing relative.

Externals are great for backups and regular storage, but usually you don't want to use them for much else.

Banned for thinking SCP is a hard to find reference for this forum, especially when you left in that 5th 'note'.

Slap yourself until you start to ignore temporal inconsistencies because of the pain, then keep doing it to prevent a recurrence. I want to make a true AI, but I don't know how, what should I do?
