People offline still get achievements. Check Steam Activity and you should be able to see your friends' achievements.

I went to check this. He hadn't registered anything. But while I was doing that, I suddenly got a message that he was online. I sent him a message (just like a minute ago), but he hasn't responded yet.

I don't remember ever falling asleep at my PC before, though I have fallen asleep on top of a book at least once.

At this point, I think I've fallen asleep everywhere except for my bed.

****

The Steam friend I was talking about has responded that he's doing fine

I didnt even know i fell asleep. I was doin somethin at it beforehand but clearly not a lot

Ah come on guys, falling asleep is second nature, at least at my age anyway. I don't fall asleep at the wheel though, more often I have to toot my horn when someone in front of me is clueless to a traffic light turning green!

I have gotten close to falling asleep at the wheel once. I was not used to driving in the USA and it was a five hour drive mostly on a straight highway late at night. One of the worst experiences and probably one of the most dangerous things I've ever done.

I've fallen asleep at the wheel once. I woke up sitting behind another car at a traffic light as though nothing had happened. I had no memory of the last few minutes, no idea how I had ended up at the traffic light, and for a long time I considered that incident a literal miracle. It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life when I realized I was waking up and knew I was behind the wheel. Ever since then, if I don't sleep, I don't drive.

Magnificent beard.

Got my laptop working again without reinstalling windows. Did it the old-fashioned way. I just kept rebooting until it was able to complete fixing the Windows Component Store

I was having some issues with my label printer the other day. I did all the troubleshooting steps on the corporate website, as well as some from a Youtube video. At the end of the day, what solved it was a Youtube comment that said, "Bang it on the table, hard." fixed it right up.

Did alright in my tournament. Two losses, one win, but I played well and in both cases of the losses, they were very close. I lost by one point in the first one and could have actually won, but my dice weren't with me at the end. Actually, same thing in the second loss too; both my opponents in each case were astonished I repeatedly rolled so badly

Actually, was very annoyed with my last opponent because they were taking things super seriously, which meant I had to as well. Was really annoyed about them until I talked to them a little more and turned out the kid was 16! He looked young, but damn!

Actually, soon as I knew he was 16, I immediately forgave him for being obnoxious because I was like, "Oh. This is a child." and the game became a lot more fun. Actually, given his age I knew what would get his goat. At the end of the game, I had 6 kills, he had 7. So I told him, "I have six kills, you have seven. You know what that means? SIX-SEVEN!" it was hilarious to watch him cringe at this old man doing that meme.

Hopefully he was actually online and it wasn't someone else just turning PC on.

Oh, I forgot why I came in... my package from US has reached my Country so hopefully this week.

Philosophy is for those who like to think about life without making any progress.

 

[Colif]

Plenty of other people running around wasting their time doing stupid things, why not just stop and think instead.

I was just pointing it out, not passing judgement. I like philosophy myself.

Philosophy, as any process is slow. Starts with little changes to your thought processes which have larger ramifications over the long term.

Psychology... Now there's the dregs.

Alvin C York was a reluctant private in the US Army during WWI. He was a religious man and a pacifist, and he tried unsuccessfully to get out of service.

He was with a small team of 17 that had been sent behind enemy lines when they suddenly came under heavy machinegun fire. Nine died instantly, including the man in charge, but they didn't get Private York. He was a Tennessee hunter from childhood and a truly deadly shot, and he began picking off the enemy as he moved toward their position. In the end, he killed 20 and returned to his base with 132 prisoners and several wounded Americans. He was promoted to Sergeant York and became one of America's greatest and most decorated war heroes.

Kind of makes my one Fortnite victory feel a little hollow

All of this was to say my daughter is interviewing for a Ranger position at Sergeant Alvin C York State Park on Thursday. Just wanted you to know where the name came from.

Well, I was one class short of a useless philosophy minor in college and have read pretty much most of the significant philosophers, and I was going to say that I was still waiting for my ramifications, but that isn't true. The ramifications of Naturalism, Empiricism, Pragmatism and other schools of thought come baked into the world we are born in the same way religion used to. I had my first experience of existential dread at age 4 when I decided that God didn't exist. I was actually inside a church at the time in daycare. So, yes, I have had my fair share of the ramifications of philosophy.

I like the history lesson, always fun to read that stuff.

Philosophy isn't so much about memorizing facts and what Metaphysics or Existentialism are or who said what and when. It's about training a certain mindset and sharpening the critical thinking skills and ability to step back and analyze an argument and dispassionately dissect it to get to its core.

My bachelors is in Philosophy with a minor in Religious Studies. Now you know why I'm so damn wordy.

state of flux

trying to fix two accounts up

One is my Amazon account, I ordered a monitor last night but I had to change payment details at same time, and as soon as order placed they put my account on hold.

• So far had to supply a photo of my Mastercard with the first 12 digits of the card removed
• Then 12 hours later they asked for a Govt ID which I have since sent them

running out of ID I can give them.
Not normally this hard to spend money but I guess it is $2400

Other is my windows logon and its not making any sense. I am trying to remove a passkey, I have followed every step and it just refuses to go away. I have changed it online so I just see if its a timing issue. It only really shows up if I try to logon to some sights

last two weeks I have had a pattern each day.
Look at 3 things I want to buy...
Now,

1. one is in Post
2. One is in limbo... well, its with Amazon or at least order is, Monitor was a pre order.
3. 3rd is a long term purchase now I have chosen the monitor first...

So now what do I do tonight lol?

Just making sure you don't believe that I implied in any way that philosophy had anything to do with memorizing facts. If you are an 18-year-old in a philosophy class, perhaps.

I can assure you I understand what philosophy is and consider it common knowledge. However, and I can assure you I spent a decent amount of time considering just dropping the whole thing because I'm not at all interested in annoying you or getting into any sort of debate (at least not at the moment ) but your definition is actually just the tools used in philosophy, or the practice of being philosophical in general, not philosophy itself. Philosophy is the pursuit of wisdom. The tools used in this pursuit are critical thinking, etc. Your description is more "the philosophy of being a philosopher", and that's likely what you were intending, but I don't believe that is what comes across in what you wrote. This is because the section in question follows the "Philosophy isn't" beginning, which implies that we are then going to learn what "philosophy is". And of course, there are two definitions, one is of the pursuit of wisdom, and the other is simply identifying a particular philosophy. The primary problem we may be having is that none of it was related to anything that I wrote, which is what I expect in a reply, and that may have shaded my interpretation somewhat. You perhaps didn't mean it as a direct response but a casual addendum stating your own philosophy. The reason I couldn't just drop it is because, to me, it sounded like you believed I didn't know what philosophy is, which is a bit of a strange thing to think about any adult. If that is, in fact, what you thought, then you might want to give a little more credit to your fellow humans and perhaps even give yourself slightly less credit. So far as I can tell, we are all sitting on the same ledge here.
