*** Hypothetical Question ***
« on: January 04, 2017, 02:05:00 am »
Imagine you have a big, spacious room with 4 brand new computers with nothing installed on them except the usual peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor). Everyone has access to a healthy, fast Internet connection that never goes down. We have Luke, Goose, Clemens & Marc seated at each and they all have to do the following tasks separately.

1) Use a provided, licensed CD to install the Windows 7 operating system;
2) Install all necessary graphics, WiFi, etc drivers;
3) Install OBS and use it to stream a torrented PC game on their Twitch account;

Who would be able to finish first? Vote!

Obvious answer is Luke.

Goose would refuse to install OBS and/or would need to consult half of the-elite before he knew what drivers to properly install,
Marc would stare at the reflective underside of the Windows 7 CD all night as he explores the great expanses of the universe tripping out on shrooms,
Clemens would rather sit in the chair and watch everyone else do it & then get someone else to do the task for him as well.

Marc's PC is literally a Windows XP machine that was thrown away by a public school library in 2003.  He's not the kind of degenerate who sits around for 500 hours straight actually learning things like how to mount an iso or extract a rar.  He's the kind of degenerate who, when his 2003 XP machine breaks, will probably find some 2006 Vista laptop from a pawn shop and trade an old Pulp Fiction DVD for it.

Go watch the Train SA dishwashing video and you can see the computer I'm describing.

1st place: Luke
I mean, that's the obvious choice I guess? The most responsible being of all in the room.

2nd place: Marc
He would just get bored and smoke some hash or do other drugs, but eventually his boredom would be so high that he would just follow the instructions and do the damn thing. Yes, he would STILL outspeed the others.

3rd place: Clemens
He would complain, complain, complain, complain more, maybe do some pushups and dips as a workout, but eventually he would install windows 7, which is the most brainless task of the three. Seeing that he succeeded in such feat, he would go on a roll and just finish the other tasks already.

4th place: Goose
Given the fact that he complains that you have to mess with like, two settings pages on OBS (which are the same shit as Xsplit) and have never tried it, I doubt he would even begin. Even if the room has NOTHING, NOTHING to do, he would still find 1000 other things to occupy himself with, possibly never finishing the task at all, waiting for some timer to end and everyone get out of there, or, if people exited the room as they completed the tasks, he would only do it after Clemens finished. Obviously, complaining about literally everything during the entire process.

Actually... you might not be aware, but Luke complains about OBS every time he has to use it. :p

It just pisses me off when INTJs write stuff like "install the necessary graphics."  Um... how the hell am I supposed to know what composes a "necessary graphic?"  I didn't go to fucking school for this.  Yet you all seem to think "mount the iso" is as natural as saying "flush the toilet" or "turn off the TV."

I could probably teach a retarded baby to mount an iso
