So, with the school schedule being crazy, I decided to do tons of all nighters and try to do a lot more of this sleeping technique called "Power Napping" or "Caffeinated Power Napping".

First time was yesterday, but I can't get used to it. Anyone mind helping out here?

I've been on a biphasic sleep schedule on and off for the past year. Currently my sleep schedule looks like 6pm-9pm, 6am-10am. It works well, and to my understanding if you have more shorter sleep schedules, it'll work more effectively. But I have to label this with a warning that if you miss one of those sleep sessions, you'll feel like **** really quick, and it's difficult to maintain a consistent schedule with it. I know nothing about "Power Napping" but it sounds like a really bad idea tbh.

Theoretically, a lot of small sleep sessions is most efficient. Practically, it's almost impossible to keep up and it's a ***** to get used to. Get sleep, it improves performance.

 

[Virgilijus]

What was his bargin?

He agreed to send me a book about a year ago and I still haven't received it. After talking to him on Tuesday, he said if it wasn't at my house by Friday, I could ban him from DGames.

 

[Rajam]

Can someone explain me "Special Pleading", "The Gambler's Fallacy", and "No True Scotsman", and give me examples of "Appeal to Nature"?

Acro, I'm not sure what you mean. I talk about stuff like that:

[Handorin]

Raj- I don't know if I could better explain the three better, but an example of appeal to nature could be, "It's ok to have sex with whomever you want cause it's natural and we need to procreate anyways."

 

[Ramen King]

Hm I want to do something to get permabanned without posting porn. What do?

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

Stop having stupid thoughts.

 

[BarDulL]

Stop having stupid thoughts.

That won't get him banned, dude...*facepalm*.

Zen, we'll come up with something. Meet me at the BarDulL cave.

 

[Ramen King]

I got chu.

@Rajam:

"No True Scotsman" I can explain through an example in my Classical Studies major. A lot of classicists dismissed or hid evidence of the widespread practice of Greek magic because they wanted to maintain the image of Greeks as "rational" and non superstitious. For such scholars, maintaining the prestige and rationality of the Greeks was more important than revealing the truth and any irrationality the Greeks exhibited.

"Appeal to Nature" is often used to promote "natural" remedies (such as herbal remedies) as better and more effective than "unnatural" remedies (such as over-the-counter medicine or surgery) even though that is not necessarily true. Appeals to nature are also used in arguments against gay rights/marriage by saying that heterosexuality is "natural" and therefore good (based on the fact that heterosexual sex leads allows for procreation) and gay sex is "unnatural" and therefore "bad".

 

[Ramen King]

Never mind I thought you were going to that one group lol.

 

[John2k4]

Hm I want to do something to get permabanned without posting porn. What do?

I can do that without you needing to post anything...

 

[Ramen King]

It's cool. I want to actually break a rule.

 

[BarDulL]

Never mind I thought you were going to that one group lol.

LOL. We can do it there as well.

July, how would no true scotsman be used in an argument would you say?

I can say with assurance that the war is awful for both sides and the idea of living with the fear of rocket fire is a surreal state of existence. As for bias in media, it is hard to filter in current news and gauge how skewed it is since making a fair and balanced assessment involves pulling in all the facts which are hardly ever presented or interpreted with immediate news feeds. I do know that if you're tired of reading Israeli focused new or pro-Israeli writers, then Al Jazeera is a major news network that can offer you some counterpoint.

Aside from the death count, Israel was of focus because it was the first time the missiles reached Jerusalem, which is something that constitutes new focus. Why news channels as a collective whole wouldn't focus on the hundreds of deaths in Gaza is something that can't be answered. However the Fox network itself is demonstrative of network unreliability and to a certain extent, so are some programs even on CNN. People are naive if they think that it is possible to achieve fully objective news when the modern news vacuum exists to tell a story.

But why get permabanned again. ):

I think the crux of the argument is that you start off with an assertion like, "no Greek would perform magic", and then when presented with contradictory evidence suppress it by saying "no true Greek would perform magic". So in mafia it would be making an argument like "No townie would vote for himself..." and then when presented with a contradictory example saying "No good or true townie would vote for himself."

 

[Ramen King]

Ah makes sense.

 

[#HBC | Acrostic]

Zen are you trying to get yourself banned again to keep you off the site.

 

[July]

Ah makes sense.

Good This is what I'm doing instead of actually writing my paper on the suppression of Greek and Roman magic lol.

 

[Ramen King]

Zen are you trying to get yourself banned again to keep you off the site.

Yes. Plus I'm genuinely tired of mafia. The stress of the game is just too much these days. I just shouldn't be on this site. The only reason to stay at this point is cause of you guys, but man I'll just probably end up playing mafia again. It's not just that, it's just the overall atmosphere of the board messes up make daily wave length. Hard to explain. But I'm tired of not utilizing my full potential for the benefit of myself and the world.

I have the lot of you added on FB/Skype. Whoever would like to that doesn't have me on FB should definitely send me your way.

It's a little disapoint that I didn't open the Dgamesia game after all the Work Xonar and I put into it. Nor did I ever complete Project DRRP. Or host all the game ideas I had. Xonar thank you so much for helping me with Dgamesia. If you'd like, you're completely welcome to take over the project on your own and run it however you would like. Sorry to abandon you after all that though man.

@July: lol

lol @ unknown gender

 

[vanderzant]

Zen, I had ben & jerries ice cream for the first time yesterday (they started selling it at a 7-11 nearby). Despite being overpriced, it was still glorious.

 

[Ramen King]

**** yeah :D!

They are quite expensive. What kind did you have? I just found out there's an entire B&J's shop in my town today ...

 

[vanderzant]

It was called "half-baked" or something like that? Cookie dough + choc + vanilla.

 

[Ramen King]

Ahh yeah that's a goodin. If they have it I recommend 'American Dream' and this Oatmeal one. The name escapes my memory.

 

[vanderzant]

Hmm ok I'll have a look next time.

 

[Ramen King]

So I was going to post some content from the staff shack / Legion of Ice but I feel like it would hurt Jonny who's really into his job so I wont. The anarchy would have been amusing though. John just go a head and perma ban me/IP.

 

[Ramen King]

and mods say some pretty backstabbing stuff back there. Don't trust them except marshy.

 

[BSL]

The best flavor of B&J is Schweddy Balls.

 

[vanderzant]

*Gheb things*

They must have confused him with Swiss.

*Gheb stuff*

Thank god Zen's not here anymore, he was cool and all, but he was getting to be a bit unbearable and trolly. Like his play just began to get exasperating you know. But it's a good thing that he's gone now. He wasn't really that good at that game in the first place and he's gone off in the world to do some good. So power to him.

The last four posts caused me to hurt myself in confusion.

So hostess is closing down.

Don't sweat it. I might continue it at a later time :v

I'm eating BnJ as we speak (type?)
Love that stuff. Always worth the price tag.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Zen just post a request for an indefinite ban unless you ask to come back in forum support if you truly want it.
