    Windows won't let me shrink the main partition by any more than 400GB even though I have nearly 700GB free.
    Damn you windows partition manager.

    Does anyone know a good partition manager that runs on Windows?

    Might try those. Although it says it can shrink until the location of an unmovable file, which means Windows has placed an unmovable file in the middle of my god damn hard drive.
    Well, I'll leave the games partition at 400GB. Not like I'll fill that up anyway.

    fuck this

    And now to copy 140 GB of games back. This is gonna take a while.

    Most of my teachers are the double-standard pricks you see in malls running security. None of them say mkay.

    I had a science teacher in 8th grade who did that. I counted her one class and it was 211 times.

    My teachers don't get paid shit to deal with us. They just let the projection do the talking and not even say anything.

    If my parents ever found out that I'm Agnostic Atheist, I'd be disowned.

    Agnostic is not being sure if there is a god. Atheist is outright not believing in god. I may be wrong, but i thought you couldnt be both.


    P.s., anybody who doesnt like country music? dont worry, its all the same song. Proof:

    Agnostic Atheists (like me) are Atheists because we do not hold a belief in any higher power. That's all Atheism is. We are also Agnostic because we believe that the existence of a higher power is either unknowable or unknown in fact. So basically, "God" is simply a spiritual figure to me, he may also be the higher power, he may not. There may be a higher power, there may not.

    Oh, also, is anyone else having problems GPU only rendering in Sony Vegas? I'd kinda like to figure that out ASAP before I build my video editing rig.

    EDIT: he got it much better than me. I don't know most of this stuff. Though I do think it would be more a theistic agnostic.

    Only thing I really get is you're religious or not. That simple.

    Gnosticism and agnosticism are positions of a knowledge claim. If you're gnostic you know, agnostic is one who doesn't know. theism/Atheism are positions on whether or not you believe. Which means that people who call themselves "agnostic" haven't really told you anything about their beliefs, just their position on a knowledge claim.

    However, right or wrong the common vernacular uses the word "atheist" to mean people who affirm the nonexistence of a diety, and the word agnostic to mean someone who simply is not convinced... but doesn't affirm nonexistance either. If you decide that you want to tell them you're not a Xian then you ought play into this common vernacular and avoid the stigma attached to the word Atheism. Atheism is a fine word in academic discussion, it's not one for the bigoted leyman who is philosophically ignorant. If you simply call yourself agnostic most people don't bat an eyelid, if you find your parents asking for more... call yourself an Igtheist.

    So an igtheist is someone who doesn't believe in a diety simply because they cannot make sense of the idea. The reason I, for instance, see the notion of any god and especially the abrahammic version of god nonsensical is because of unintelligible or contradictory properties. such as all the paradoxes surrounding every "omini" word and paradoxes surrounding notions of absoluteness, also paradoxes around objectivity... and omnipotence. If you don't believe because of a lack of sensible definitions then you, like me, are an igtheist. and "Igtheist" is another word without that stigma attached.

    Slow down, speak slowly and clearly. I'm not intelligent and I don't understand your elevated vocabulary.

    Can someone translate?

    Basically, call yourself an agnostic if you don't want your parents or normal christyun' folk to freak out at the word Atheist. If they somehow know to ask you if you believe in god or not after you call yourself agnostic, igtheist is an alternative to atheist so you'll avoid getting people mad over it. An igtheist doesn't believe because they find that god as people describe it doesn't make sense.

    Oh, ok, I see. Thank you for simplifying that.
