If you’re just talking about a research paper for a college assignment where you have to follow the special rules yes. The OP didn’t seem to be just discussing a research paper assignment.
I’ve never had to follow those rules outside of college when researching something.
My argument is based on the definition of the word research. My example of college is mostly in jest, but also valid.
re·search
/ˈrēˌsərCH,rəˈsərCH/
noun
noun: research; plural noun: researches
If the person above is referencing a single youtube video as their source, they did not conduct research.
which leads to
being the most valid response possible. The argument above requires facts, not a single video of opinion.
I fell asleep reading that. I just don’t ■■■■■■■ care about semantics or what you consider to be research. I just don’t care. I’ve already gotten my three degrees and a great career.
The three kittens on the right are the passively observing ones thus are the:
miner / basic industrialist / simple trader,PvE-er andF1 monkey / basic PvP-er.While the one on the right actively reacting and trying to get (and think) outside the box attempting to catch the prey is the:
true EVE player.
Only three degrees?
Yeah. All Associate’s. That way I could take the last 2 together on my GI Bill. No student loans that way. The first was done in the Navy- also paid for by Uncle Sam. All in electronics and all paid for. A Bachelor’s would have been too expensive and unnecessary. Wouldn’t have gotten me anywhere in my field.
The stupid amount of systems is what makes it fun.
It isn’t, but it’s an easy and relatively effective way to summarize and present the topic to those who can’t or won’t do actual research. But I guess even that is too much for some.
Calling the game dead because you personally aren’t finding fights doesn’t really prove much. Activity in this game has always come in waves depending on time, region, and who’s actually online at any given time.
Your point about space being spread out might be fair, but plenty of people are still finding fights and running missions every day. If you’re seeing nothing but empty space, it might be more about where you’re looking than the state of this game.
Lol thats funny and reads like someone thats in the cope stages of life like bro eve is on one of its lowest player counts ever for a long steady period of time, you can go a head and record yourself going though space and show me all the real people fighting and being on space if your soo sure the games alive and well
But I can already tell you what you will find 90% of accounts docked and seemingly never unlocking aka or legit bots in space doing pve that instantly warp as you enter system.
Get real bro the games on life support, ccp is netting a loss of a avg of 15million a year and now PA is thinking of selling, yeh but the games in such a good state lol
The average lifespan of an MMO is about 7 to 10 years. Let’s see… when was EVE Online released? Oh! 22 years ago! And it’s still running.
And you want us to think that this game is in trouble? It’s already outlasted so many others. It’s older than World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV and it still has a hell of a strong community. It’s not going anywhere.
semantics, aka Facts.
what I consider research = the actual definition of the word.
3rd degree burns helps with your career?
it appears you might be new to eve. Stagnation happens between every expansion, then take into account what time of year it is, what is going on in life that might have an effect on being able to log in specifically to appease you, the most important person to ever exist.
If you are not finding people in space, you are not looking. It’s that simple. Whatever system you live in might be empty, this game is not.
What the hell did I do to piss you off? I don’t care enough to argue about this. I told you that already. For all of your bluster about the definition of the word research, you don’t seem capable of understanding that this is perhaps the dumbest thing to argue about.
Does that make you feel good? To argue with a stranger on a web forum about what does and does not constitute research outside of college? You have a very low bar for yourself if that’s what makes you feel like you did something meaningful. Whatever does it for you I guess.
You must really lead a boring and unfulfilling life. I guess this explains why you spend so much time in that thread arguing about what to name asteroids.
It leads me to believe that after hanging out with you for a day, I’d have to go mine Veldspar just for some excitement!
nothin, i’m joking. 3 degree, 3rd degree burns… my apologies if that wasnt as funny as i thought it was, in my current baked state.
but.. did that need a response filled with so much personal insult?
you assume anger in text based communication.
The person claimed to do research by watching a single video on youtube. That is not research.
You support that person by adding that you watch instructional videos on youtube, which is also not research. That is being told how to do stuffs and things. 3 associates degrees and you’re not aware of this?
You’re the only one arguing about this, I am educating you. I made a joke in relation to claims of 3 degrees and likening to 3rd degree burns. i will explain said joke below. This conversation, utilizing actual definitions of words, set you off into ad hominem. There is fact, and there is you.
As someone that understands that words have meanings for a reason, I disagree.
Yes, it does infact make me feel good, handing out education to those that need it. It should make anyone that is capable and willing to assist others happy. I am attempting to assist, not only you, but the person that claimed they did research but did not. In any professional situation, if anyone did the same as has been done on this thread, they would lose all forms of credibility and probably their job.
That is not an ending I wish to see for my fellow eve players. I can be wrong, you can be wrong, everybody can be wrong. Being wrong is different than making wild claims, and using a single youtube video as the absolute evidence of such claims, while also claiming to have done research. Especially when said actions are taken while trying to admonish someone else for apparently not doing research.
There is no argument here. There is fact, and there is not fact. You can argue against facts all you want, but you’re wasting your time and energy.
You have absolutely no clue what bar i set for myself. You’ve lost your credibility by going to insults over a basic conversation that included a joke. You must be new to the internet. For your continued education, let me explain the joke to you.
Since the dawn of time, insecure young men and women have made wild claims of having this or that, with absolutely no proof. Be it things like owning microsoft, or their parents owning microsoft (insert whatever relevant company to the situation), girlfriends in different schools, different states, different countries, owning whatever rare old, expensive vehicle for the situation, but (insert excuse). It goes on and on and on. Especially when it comes to education and the internet; everyone had a dozen PhD’s and runs whole divisions of companies etc.
Assisting others with education is meaningful. Knowledge is power. The powerless are often those that simply do not know of options available to them. Assisting the powerless to gain power, especially over themselves or their lives, has meaning. Humans are important. Every life matters to me. If that is not the case for you, I am sorry.
I’m old, my current life would probably be very boring to you. What I have done, where I have been, situations I have survived, will remain a mystery to you. You lack any evidence or knowledge of my life, so any claims you make regarding my life are merely projection. You just ousted yourself and don’t know it yet. Upon reading this, perhaps you will.
Go figure, someone making claims of education but not understanding basic language is also trying to shame someone for participating on the same forum as themselves. Good for you. That thread is full of uneducated people attempting to browbeat any opposing opinion and disregarding scientific fact in order to support their opinions. They lack the confidence to just admit that they have opinions. They attempt to use manipulated sources to validate said opinions, and argue against any evidence or fact that does not support said opinions.
This is a wild statement.
In conclusion, I hold serious doubts to any level of education you claim.
You appear to not know the very basic, easily “researched” definition of the word research. You are claiming that the definition is actually just my opinion. This is beyond wild. Knowledge is power, and you lack power. How crazy is it that you’ve taken up the banner to defend someone claiming to have completed valid research when all they did is watch a youtube video? You even go so far as to also present incorrect information in said defense. Words have a meaning for a reason. This is the basis for communication. If you can not, or will not adhere to using words as they are meant, then what use is any communication with you?
Thank you for clarifying multiple times just how little you care, while continuing to spout incorrect information alongside claims of multiple college level certificates. If you are the standard for whatever career you’re claiming to be in, I would sincerely like to know which field you’re in so that I can disregard anything coming from said field. I suspect your field is a local McDonald’s.
wow… you got triggered!! I’ll be standing over there. I don’t talk to crazy people. Not for free, anyway. Pay me 5 billion ISK and I’ll debate the definition of Research. That’s what it will cost you to talk to me about… well, anything. Why? Because you’re either still on drugs or the drugs wore off… I don’t know which, but you’re absolutely insane.
We’re done until I see the money in my wallet.
wow, so did you! It’s amazing that you go to personal insults immediately, so often.
we’re not talking. This is text. should I paste the definition of those words as well?
Crazy is subjective. I believe you are crazy.
there is no debate. You obviously do not know what the word means. You need to get another associates degree to figure it out.
again, we’re not talking. We’re communicating. Do you understand the difference? Also, I’m doing it for free. So you just shot your own business model to the ground. Great job, 3 degeee expert.
You’re on drugs as well. The only difference between us in this regard, I don’t hide it. I’m comfortable with who I am and what I do.
ok Dr. Phil, since you keep making the claim, I’m going to need to see proof of your license to practice, your degree in psychology field, and your insurance required for practice.
Now it will cost 5 billion ISK to be unblocked.
oh noes!!! What ever shall I do when a liar on the internet blocks me at the tail end of an internet fight he picked!?!?!?!?! How will my life continue?
