Book I Will Never Finish: Leveraging Your Slacker

[Gota]

Become crazy,lose care for world,drool,be happy.

[Licho]

Agreed, on it.

[knorke]

too lazy not to care

[Argh]

Fixing bugs often requires the real genius thinking because it's much harder to fix a bug than it is to write that buggy code.

Yup, although I should at least mention that sometimes the Idea may be perfectly clear, but the work involved in getting there is often very difficult.

IDK how many major revisions I've gone through with P.O.P.S., for example- probably 40 or more, and I'm still not completely satisfied that it's as perfect as it should be.

the solution is to get laid, it generates motivation

[Neddie]

Well, that could go either way, 1v0ry. I've found that depending on mood, getting laid can entirely sap any desire to act.

oh right yeah, to clarify, ensure the other particpant of lay dosnt look terrible

[zwzsg]

Are you calling SinbadEV's wife ugly?

[1v0ry_k1ng]

I dont know what sinbad or his wife look like so clearly not

[JohannesH]

Then I guess youre implying they never have sex?

[zwzsg]

Who fathered the children then?

[Peet]

They're going to bring balance to the Force.

[Panda]

Lol. May the force be with them.

if you don't try, you'll never fail, but you'll also never succeed.
how can you claim to be a genius if you never tested yourself? as you can see yourself, nobody but your fellow slackers accept self-claims as valid testing method... ( which makes it a circular argument, therefore a logic fallacy which is rejectable by both slackers or non slackers )

You claim yourself to be a slacker, yet you got the energy to post huge amounts of idiocies over several threads ( which do contrast heavily against your intelligence claims ), it sounds a bit contradictory to me.

Even if your theories are right, and whoever works hard to achieve what he wants is a stupid idiot, then why would you need to motivate a slacker to actually do work? he'd be lowering his level to the average working idiot.

Ultimately, reality won't change no matter how hard you wish, you can convince yourself of whatever you want, but as long as you got a desire to change things, it means you're unhappy with current condition:
if you want to change that, you'll either have to self convince yourself harder or try to change things for real ( hey, both actually require efforts! ), or go trough this condition until you'll have learned to convive with it ( bah, this one takes efforts too but more passively )
I could now proceed this charade ( I am making up my opinions and arguments as I'm typing and adding some random smileys since koshi still hasn't given me back my sarcasm tag, discerning the serious arguments from the BS is left as excercise to the reader, yes still efforts! ) with linkage towards self-consideration for public apparence shifting between "real work" and self-centered solutions, but this is going already too long and risk of getting a TL;DL is rather high, at least I've had my spare fighting boredom, so I'll leave you some insights:
writing takes efforts, you should stop replying
breathing takes efforts, you should stop breathing now
if by now you're reading this in apnea, you should know that reading takes efforts too, you...

Wow, it's apparently true that motivated people ARE idiots, thanks for providing such convincing evidence.

[BrainDamage]

no problem, I'm glad you bothered reading, distinguishing the serious arguments from the jokes, took the necessary efforts to keep lieing to yourself and write this 1 sentence ad-hominem attack which one could easily interpret to incapability to provide a counter-argument

See, now you begin to understand the TRUE nature of slackery.

edit: I'm beginning to fear that I may have a different definition of Slacker to the majority of the non-slackers in the world.

Perhaps, Self-Delusional Hedonistic Nihilist who exhibits Behavior that is interpreted as Lazy to the world at large but cannot truly be defined as such based on the effort needed to behave the way they do.

[BrainDamage]

I also forgot to mention, I never claimed I am "motivated", nor "slacker", your replies seems to have assumed I am part of the former, which I won't contradict, nor confirm

[Gota]

Seems the thread gets dumber and dumber the more people post in it
After the blatant personal attacks,though,I don't see how it can get any worse unless Emmanuel suddenly makes a come back.
