A shoddy attempt at a compromise also leaves everyone mad.

No compromise whatsoever still somehow leaves everyone mad.

Such is life in modern western politics.

[edit]

oh fuck, Mephansteras, I hope she survives! Give her hugs, as soon as hugs won't make it worse.

You're right, that wasn't a good quote to insert.

The more I read about laws, the more I feel like I want to get into politics to try and stop the more retarded things from happening.

This is making me despair. I hate politics, but it's fucked up enough to make me want to get a career in it to try and unfuck it.

A good compromise leaves everyone mad.
Not sure things like ACTA are a good compromise so much as 'fuck yours, got mine'

The generalization of politics as 100% nutcase bureaucrats aiming for personal gain through shady tactics and public approval is a disgusting remark. It's only 90%.

ACTA sounds like a line of pure idiocy to us, but for the average content producer it seems solid for protecting intellectual property. It's handled oddly, but it's easy to see the target demographic (can you even call it a demographic? I'm neither a politician nor a statistician).

I hope your sister get better, Meph :c

My sad: I kind of hate who I had been and still partly is. Sure, sure, I'm a teenager and not fully sentient yet bla bla, but even then until I become 21 or more people will continue to treat me as a child. An obnoxious child.

I just wish people give me a chance to show them I'm actually not that much of an asshole, but it seems like it's too late now and everybody hates me.

Yeah but that was because people though it would make computers turn into flaming cyborg demons because they can't count.

I mean, seriously, how ignorant does one have to be to have believed that Y2K theories had any basis in fact? The nearest leap in logic should be "Computers that didn't account for years past 1999 might have minor display problems", not "the computer systems ruling the entire world will collapse and leave civilization in ruins".

Actually, as I think about it, the entire thing is dumb. It would be more work to make any sort of glitch happen relating to the year 2000, or any year.

Code: [Select]
if(date == January 1st && time == 12:01AM):
    year++;

I don't know much about programming operating systems, but I can't imagine the calendar year being any more difficult than that.
Well, if you're only keeping track of two digits (memory was sparse back then)...You'd get January 19100 instead of January 2000.  Also, YES, SYSTEMS WERE THROWING CRAZY ERRORS.  A relative was working as a programmer back even years BEFORE we were all in a tizzy, and kept running into, IIRC, problems where the date a project management system was giving was "before" the start date.  Because rollover in the two digits.
If you're gonna talk about Y2K, actually consider the situation.

See, this is why one does one's research before randomly asserting
Also, have you read about the Unix epoch glitch coming up?  Same type of problem-rollover.  And then we get subtraction from the beginning of the epoch, and anything that's queued for AFTER that rollover AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.  Tada.  Thus the panic over Y2K.

Most people end up having those kind of thoughts during your age range. You'll work out your feelings just fine, in due time, just make sure you don't isolate yourself and keep talking to people :v

Also, really sorry about your sister Meph, but I'm glad she'll make it.

I'm a teenager and not fully sentient
By what measure could you possibly not be sentient/sapient? There's no need to doubt yourself to that degree, you most certainly are sentient.

The recency effect is shit.

Oh you regularly do a great many friendly things. Then you trip up and you're the biggest dick ever.

I personally don't try anymore. But it's a good thing to try proving to other people that you're better than what they think. Everyone is.

I constantly act like a selfish brute, and tell everyone that I'm an asshole.
Then when I do something nice, it's unexpected and everyone likes it.

I survive off that little bit of praise, and thus, the recency effect is flipped on its head.
