I hate big ass computer cases with those big ass ATX motherboards.
I got myself an ITX motherboard inside an SFFPC case and it saved me so much space. I also had to get a smaller computer to under-compensate for my huge ass dick. All things balanced, as they should be.

Yep, I'm 37 years old, married with 2 kids (a 5 year old and a 1 year old).
I still remember this game like it was yesterday, in my early 20's being a total "badass" sniping away. All those YouTube "montage" kill videos (which I think at the time was pretty much the first of its kind).
How's life for everyone else these last 16 years?

From my experience, most non-Christian people know more about the Bible than Christians.Uzique The Lesser wrote:
the first part is my answer. the second is my own question - because i know the answer to the first is right.
literary scholars are encouraged to become as familiar with biblical history as much as they are greek/roman myth. it is the foundation of so much writing and cultural tradition. i spent the first year of my undergraduate working my way from old-english/norse legends, the bible, and greek-roman texts, all the way through the middle-ages and up to the inception of the 17th century. very assiduous history. so yes, suffice to say i know a decent amount about the bible, for a non-religious person. i just used the term "prelapsarian" in a research paper i am writing today. i'm rinsed in it.

No he coined "militant" atheism. It's basically an atheist who is an activist for the right to not believe and for religion to be abolished.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

I find it absurd though because you can pretty much say atheism is itself a belief of non-belief.

That's the thing, by removing it I am henceforth associated with "militant" atheists. It's a meaning that has been coined by Dawkins and permeated so much within the realm of atheism/theism that it has effectively been associated with regular atheists (ie. you're either with us or not).Uzique The Lesser wrote:

But I dis-associate myself from those atheists which are militant in nature which seems to be the prevailing trend amongst many liberals/redditors. I have no qualms with religion or God, just don't force it on me and we're peaches and cream.
I associate balearic with chilled out music. I associate house with something more upbeat and in most mainstream cases your typical 4-chord stuff.Uzique The Lesser wrote:
you don't know how house and balearic would mix? dude, balearic's entire history is in house. 'balearic' to 99% of people means a style of chilled/blissed out house music, normally involving tribal drumming and mediterranean/african samples. that's how it has been since, like the 80's. trance is not an ibiza 'institution'. saying you don't know how house and balearic would mix is hilarious.
techno is probably the least cheesy genre of all electronic music. it is rough and tough. there is nothing cheesy about a night spent in an ex-power station in berlin. trance and hardcore are by far the most cheesy and kind of cringe-worthy genres. either a bunch of dudes in neon clothing putting their hands in the air faking a religious orgasm or a bunch of dutch trailer-trash on bad pills stamping their feet to neo-nazi music.
At least the balearic tracks I have, they have very low bpm and it's hard for me to tell if they are 4-chord. That's usually how I tell if something is house or not. Maybe the early balearic stuff was more house but of recent it's been more trance.
I tried listening to techno years ago, not my cup of tea. And of recent I checked out the techno channel on di.fm. Still not feeling it. It doesn't have the same uplifting feel that epic trance does. I need that slow ramp up to audio climax. There's just this feeling I can't describe of blissful energy once the chorus is hit.
FYI, I don't associate myself with those wannabe ravers/bandwagon hoppers that you're describing. I feel like they aren't there to enjoy the music but moreso there for drugs/sex or whatever. Mind you I've only been to 3 "festivals". 2 were outdoor and 1 was indoor. The 2 outdoors one I brought a straw mat and we just ended up lying on a nearby field drinking and smoking up while relaxing to sweet trance music.
The indoor one fucking sucked because it was a bunch of hard house music. Everyone was jumping up and down salivating to the no-name DJ's and the electronic centerstage. I tried to join in on the bandwagon but alas my feet grew tired and I ended up going to the stands to surf on my iPhone.
It's probably not your taste but I can't see how you can NOT like something like this:
Parano - Twilight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pevOThaIR30
Chicane - Offshore
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCEN4OCJ0DI
BT - Dark Garden
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JWq2m3-17Y
I feel like you may have been subjected to just some REALLY bad trance and it has biased/soured your taste forever. Because honestly these tracks aren't that far off from the standard fare on Boiler Room. Or you have just been hearing too much pop-like mainstream trance/house from well-known artists. Although it's not generally true for all well-known artists, some of them still do cater to grassroots listeners and even introduce new sub-genres from time to time. BT for example is a well-known experimenter. AVB still does classical trance from time to time.
Not all trance is cheesy rave music. The electronic loving "pretenders" give it a bad rap, the sheer number of these fans impresses the DJ's which in turn force them to make MORE of that kind of music. It's a cycle which will eventually implode with every generation of bandwagon music from which it will eventually return to grassroots. It's happened so many times in history that it has become too predictable.
Give the 3 tracks above a try and let me know what you think honestly.

nyte for the last 10 years or so the only place you'll hear 'balearic' trance is at about one clubnight a week on the island. the far more commonly used term is 'balearic house' (or even 'balearic chillout'). trance is cheeeeesy, man.
I don't even know how house and balearic style would mix...
There is cheesy trance of course, just gotta wade through the lot for the good ones. Anything remotely "techno"y trance is bound to be cheesy IMO.
I was really hoping progressive trance would take off in the last few years but alas house style trance beat it. Progressive had that simple yet melodic feel to it.
Lets bring back the original trance song that started it all:
So many memories and feels listening to that.

Not really hardstyle, more trance/house/electro-house. It started off as a trance festival but the last few years have evolved into more "house-y" artists.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

You can see the progression of artists in the last few years:
2013 180,000 July 26–28 Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, Sebastian Ingrosso, Fedde le Grand, Avicii, Steve Aoki, Hardwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Nervo Twins, Headhunterz, Arty, Markus Schulz
2012 180,000 July 27–29 David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, Carl Cox, Paul van Dyk, Avicii, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Skrillex, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Nervo Twins, Hardwell
2011 180,000 July 22–24 Faithless, 2 Many DJ's, David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, DJ Tiesto, Avicii, Paul van Dyk, Carl Cox Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike
2010 120,000 July 24–25 David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, Chuckie, Armin Van Buuren, Dada Life, Roger Sanchez

2005 10,000 August 14 Push, Armin Van Buuren, Cor Fijneman, Yves Deruyter, Technoboy, Coone
Seeing Skrillex and Steve Aoki on that list makes me want to vomit.
I'm not a huge fan of house/electrohouse, it's above average for my taste. My love still lies with progressive, balearic, and epic (some call it uplifting) trance. Even my favorite Armin Van Buuren is devolving too much into the alternative trance scene (a mix of pop and trance).
Some of the legacy trance artists that are simply awesome are Chicane, Sigur Ros (when he collaborates), Alexander Popov, Paul Van Dyk (one of the few trance artists who hasn't embraced the mainstream house scene), BT (his music is weird these days, a bit too contemporary for me), original Tiesto/AVB/Corsten, Blank & Jones, Cressida, Orion, Mauro Picotto, Lemon & Einar K, etc. AVB mixed alot of the original trance artists in his very early episodes of A State of Trance (where he was still speaking Dutch).
Some of the mix casts I listen to these days are:
A State of Trance by Armin Van Buuren
Trance Around the World by Above & Beyond (now defunct)
Group Therapy Radio by Above & Beyond (successor to the above)
Laptop Symphonies by BT
Elysium by Derek Sanders
While most of the songs they pick for their mixes are very generic (I've listened to tens of THOUSANDS of trance tracks now so things get a bit bland by this point), every now and then they select a good one which I end up downloading. I've listened to so much trance played by these mixers I can usually tell the track name and artist within the first 30 seconds of listening to it.
Anyways, I digress.

I'm not sure of the context of that statement (I might have read it years ago but forgot). To take that statement solely at face value with a sprinkle of philosophy, I take it to mean that (in brief):Uzique The Lesser wrote:
i'm not sure you can sum up high-level philosophy in 1-5 sentences. nor can you understand an idea in its entirety without being familiar with the doctrine from the ancient greeks onwards. that's the thing with these non-engineering subjects: they take work and actual reading.
let's just make it easier: what do you think nietzsche's famous 'god is dead' statement means? that one can at least be understood literally without needing to have read aristotle.
- We have a history of creating a God(s) and religion based around it.
- Morality is "created" from these religious works/teachings.
- Different societies create different God(s) and religions.
- Sectarian violence (disagreements) amongst these societies undoubtedly arise because each God(s) and its associative religion define themselves as being omnipotent (ie. there can only be one).
- All this violence is created by us in the first place from the inception of an omnipotent being that dictates our morality. Also, the clashes between different religions (or its sects) contradicts the morality dictated for us in the first place.
- We've effectively killed morality (ie. the God(s) we associated ourselves with) in this sense.
It's 10:40 PM so this is the best I can muster at this hour given no context. There's also a point about basic human instinct/nature that I wanted to mention but it'd be too long.
I have a feeling that that statement is anti-religious (I'm an agnostic atheist). Trying to point out that religion will always end up in a state of corruption and "immoral" behavior (relative to the morals of the religion under discussion).
