but to be more serious, even in germany right wing parties gain more and more steam. a lot slower than in other european countries, but it's happening. teaches us that noone learns from history. especially the victors.
Pretty much. It's rather sad.
Things like this makes me question: From where did that come from?

Sometimes I wish there was a aerosol that simply euthanased those whom were intolerant of others.

Really? What are examples of rasicm you have expierienced? I'd understand a little maybe if you were middle eastern, since there are a lot of people pissed about things like schools banning people from saying 'merry christmas' because of muslims, and stuff like that, but I can't understand why there would be any racist attitudes towards Indians.LaVolpe024 wrote:

I haven't seen any examples of racism, maybe it's more prominent of the mainland or I'm just unaware.
You're Tasmanian? If so, fistbump.
But it would also explain why you don't know about the racism prevalent in Australian society.

I don't enjoy going into detail about my experiences with bigots, it'll just result in a TL;DR situation. In short, I've experienced it from primary school all the way to working in an adult environment.
I don't know what things are like in Tasmania, I've heard it's pretty nice down there actually, but in major metropolitan areas on the mainland it's not uncommon.

there are racist attitudes towards indians because idiots assume we're arabs and these happen to be the same idiots who think arabs are terrorist supporters. if you want an analogy, it would be like if i went to Germany and started calling everyone baguette-with-snail-sauce-eating faggots who can't win wars.B1rd wrote:

alternatively, people will have racist attitudes towards anyone whose culture or appearance is significantly different than their own.
Im fairly sure nazigermany could have won the war if Hitler wasnt stupid to attack all the lands at once instead of taking them one by one... Attacking russia like that wasnt smart either. But thats besides the point.
I think the problem with racism isnt racism in itself but rather the intolerance to "different", i mean the etact same situation (except not with "races") happens within different culture/social/interrest-circles and so on.
I find it really sad that its like this.
Also update on the psychotherapist if anyone cares: Thankfully i ended up being driven there by my mother but the psychotherapist essentially told me the same as LaVolpe said earlier: Go outside.

I went outside once and it was awful. There's, like, trees, and PEOPLE, and even streets with cars. Absolutely disgusting.
I once even saw a grocery store. I mean, those things even exist, and they don't deliver your purchases. How fucking abysmal is their service like srsly.
At least you guys go to school/elementary/college?
Damn. University requires me to use facebook. Why won't they use forums for online interaction?
What the fuck. Leave this university immedantively.
Requiring facebook... are they serious?

They use it for assignments and stuff. I personally prefer forums instead of facebook, but many Indonesian internet users (that I have met) have no idea how to use forums. It seems like using codes like
[img][/img]to post an image is a hassle for them.
But but... thats like the easiest thing ever? I mean those even got buttons to put those automatically, or if you want so you can code/confrigure your forumsoftware to automatically convert any *png *jpg and *gif urls into images so your users dont even have to press a measly button.
This universitys IT team/person seems incompetent (actually i have yet to find anyone working for school IT to be truly competent) or nonexistant if thats true.
On the bright side you probably dont have to deal with a filter/school-proxy.

So it's been a long time since I played chess with my former high school friends. I still remember the past few years when we are used to play the game

Fun fact:
Some teachers, or professors here actually make their students do projects and make them post it on facebook and they will base the grade of that particular activity on the number of likes they get on that post, e.g. the people with the most likes gets the highest grade.
I'm not sure if it's a thing in other countries, but it is here.
Kinda ridiculous right? Basing the grades on popularity and how many people you beg for likes, god this place is full of attention whores. The education system and the way most people think is so fucked up.

What could possibly have been so vile to not be fair game in this place
it was just more whining and frustration about what happened; there's no need to beat a dead horse about it i guess
Well maybe but if you need to vent then go ahead. There's no real point in talking about it (when is there, really) and you can pretty much sum it up easily but that doesn't mean don't.
Plus OT's been pretty dull lately so some discussion would be nice. It's much better than just posting "Good morning", that's for sure.

all the iidx maps got canned in a manner similar to what happened to skrillex
konami dmca'd them and so you can no longer download the maps from the website nor can anymore iidx songs be ranked apparently

Ew.
Why do they care? I mean it isnt like anyone (or just a very minor portion) in the US/EU would actually buy the songs. Should be threated like with anime fan subs, where no seller theres no complainer (I need a better word...).
Brb, researching that stuff with those songs in mind before i spout bull. Last time i didnt do this i claimed something completly wrong...

It's hard to say. Dunno. For a long time, konami did have a presence in Western countries through DDR and the likes, but yeah most of their business is confined to Eastern Asia. osu! is a global community though, and it is their copyright so it's all within their power to do so. Not that it helps much......
It's just really frustrating to think that all those iidx maps myself and other have made - we can't really do much else with them now. I don't regret making them, and I assume most other people feel similarly but it's just sad to all of us now that we can't move them forward. Like it or not, the main way to get people to play and enjoy your maps is by ranking them. I still enjoy all of them for sure, but it makes me a bit sad that even more people probably won't ever have a chance to enjoy them either now.

Google fails me, cant find anything of use or any news/sources with "IIDX DMCA", "Buying IIDX songs US/EU" or "IIDX copyright".
Konami produces and sells a fair bit of action/rpg games in the western countries but i dont know anything about rythm games from Konami.
Global community... fair enough. Not entirely sure how thats defined in a legal way but i can understand peppy not taking any risiks. (except that this file and song sharing here is pretty much glorified pirating. Heh.)
I assume peppy could get around that with a torrent based sharing system but then unpopular songs suffer even more.

I was a Ted-Robin supporter until Barney proposed (honestly I didn't like Barney-Robin), then they make that ending
it basically killed the entire 9th season, and then that ending. it's just there to "please everyone". and that whole "and then she got sick" BS. that was so annoying. it's the japanese crying formula all over again. i just can't stand that kind of thing. there is a lot of clumsy writing and clumsy decisions and they could've done that so much better. oh well, it remains a great series aside from the ending.Jazz wrote:

yeah it was a good series but that ending was just like "let's hire all the bad writers because we already need to end this show!"

I've watched all seasons but the last, I proabably wont if it's just another series with a shitty ending. not really relevant, but I just finished Madoka, now that was a masterpiece.
i found madoka highly confusing and really found it to be dead average.
then again i haven't watched it in a long ass time.

For what i expected -a genric magical girl story- i was pleasantly surprised. I found that the plot was deep enough but the end was cheesy and dissapointing in my oponion.

I didn't find it confusing, although when I watched Deathnote I did find that more confusing. Obviously if you watch something without understanding it, and then read a dry factual definition of what you saw later, that's not going to have the same effect.Tanzklaue wrote:

Me too, I was not expecting it to be anything like it turned out to be. Though I didn't find the end to be cheesy at all IMO- by the end I was feeling really sympathetic for all the magic girls who died with sad ends. And instead of some unrealistic happy ending or bad ending, the MC sacrificed herself and managed to save everyone. Really touching, a perfect and amazing ending.Granger wrote:

I liked it because it didn't fall into and cliches, people died and stayed dead, and the protagonists didn't miraculously defeat opponents who were obviously way stronger than them with sudden emotional outburst. And it didn't drag on any longer than i needed to. So IMO, i was a masterpiece, 10/10.

I think you can get a Noctua air cooler which performs better than the H50 for around the same price unless you're going for the CLC aesthetic lol. Is there any reason you need a 480 GB SSD (or a sound card) ? You could get a smaller one and spend the money you save there on a 770 or 280x. The 450D is a solid case but a bit overpriced. imo phanteks, nzxt and fractal design make cases that are just as good and cheaper.
Oh also the HDD you picked is sloooow. Can't you get a seagate/WD blue 7200 rpm drive for around the same price?

If the answer to this question is yes, throw the soundcard away. Best case it won't make a difference because a digital signal completely bypasses it anyway, and worst case you won't even use it if you have a USB DAC or the like.
If the answer to this question is no, however, and your speakers/headphones use an analog input (see: 3.5mm jack), keep it.
Also Kappa is right.
Looks alight. I don't think you will need a sound card, I'd get a 7200rpm HDD instead, and that GPU is really underkill compared or the CPU and the rest of the build. I'd at least get 280x/770, or even 290/780.Blue Stig wrote:

Noctua cooled probably would be more price efficient, though i bigger and uglier, and you have a windowed case.
Ok.
Swaped out the H50 for a Noctua NH-D14. Personally don't care if it looks like a brick as long as it works.
Sticking with WD Green and 480GB SSD.
Planning on using the SSD for Games and such and the WD Green for M Office and stuff.
Sticking with the 760 for now I might change it in the future.
So yeah thanks for the input I have limited time so I'll see you cats later.
