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.

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.

Can you elaborate on "done correctly"?

I just had to initiate a claim because I didn't receive a package that hadn't arrived even though it reported that it did. Although it's a bit hidden, there's at least a "package arrived; missing items" option on the mobile app.

 

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?
