 Welcome to this thing of me talking and you listening. I appreciate you listening today. I'm gonna just battle on about Poor arguments. Oh, it aggravates me so much. By the way, this is from filmsbychris.com Chris the K And I am Chris and I like to complain about stuff And so that's what I'm gonna do right now and I hope you stick around and listen and tell me whether you agree or disagree but um I am an argumentative person. I also have a pretty short temper and I have gotten into shouting matches with people at times and Lots of times it isn't even the Person's argument that what they the difference of view. It's their argument Poor arguments drive me crazy I hate when I agree with someone but their reason for their view is Stupid and I mean they might have the right Thought but their argument for it is completely wrong and one of the arguments I've had with a number of people is just over computer stuff in general and One of the arguments that people have given me when I tell them oh, they Yeah, they really should try Linux or they shouldn't use this piece of software They should use this piece of software or for example I had an argument with a friend over whether iPhones are really easier to use than an Android or any other device and my argument is not really their Regular usage is about the same and actually if you want to do anything useful even even not even advanced But getting into settings on an on an iPhone for example one day I was trying I was trying to help a friend was with his Web browser and we're trying to change some settings in the web browser in the web browser And I'm trying to figure it out And I'm like where's the settings I'm reading online It says go into the settings for for Safari or Chrome or whatever web browser I think we were looking into both trying to get it to to enable some sort of functionality and I can't figure it out and so if I am you wouldn't think I might have to Google it You know on a regular computer you click on the menu you go to preferences or settings on an Android phone You click on the little menu button There's usually a settings button you go into settings on an iPhone It is not like that you have to exit out of that application go to the system settings Go to applications scroll through the list of applications So you find that the program the app the app that you want to Change the settings for in the long list of all the the apps on your phone And then you're in the settings for that application For the most part computer usage is pretty easy click or type something and something happens and My argument isn't even that an Android phone would be easier than an iPhone Although in assets like that the difficultness is how many steps does it take that that was like a five or six step Exiting out of the program going into something else blah blah blah rather than just clicking settings and you're in setting You know menu settings um So that was a whole nother little rant about you know people saying things they just been have been told number of times Oh iPhones are easier to use and they're really not But his argument was that they were easier I kept saying tell me how they just are was what he kept saying me I go explain to me pull out your iPhone. I'll pull out my oh well They're probably about the same now, but when the iPhone came out first came out It was a lot easier to use I guys the same exact You know way computers have been used since Windows and 3.1 there's an icon you click on it it opens application you click on stuff in the application was my argument and So his argument was was just kind of he didn't have an argument other than he had a thought and then his argument changed into Chris You don't understand because you're good with computers. I'm not so I have to use something like this Which is just a horrible argument if your argument is one you know more than I do on this subject So therefore you are wrong You just lost the argument when you're telling me I that I know more about this subject than you but I'm wrong Because I know more about the subject than you but also the fact that If I know a lot about computers, I'm not going to pick the harder way to do something I might do more advanced things to you that might seem harder than you But when it comes to doing the same test, I am not going to do it a harder way Nobody who is good with computers who is tech savvy if you want to call it that it's someone who's tech savvy is not going to purposely Do things on a regular basis the harder way you know So We got into this big argument and it wasn't even for me. It wasn't even The whole iPhone versus the Android thing once we started getting into the conversation I started getting upset because his argument was so bad and he just wasn't seeing it How can you how can you go and tell somebody you're wrong about this because you know more about me on it? Such a horrible horrible argument, and I hate bad arguments. I don't mind arguing I don't like being proven. I'm wrong It means I learned something new today, and I'm not just saying that my best friend James who has been on on my YouTube channel You know a handful of times he doesn't live near me In fact, he just moved further away. He used to be two hours away. Then he moved three hours away And now he's in Colorado. So he's three days away if I drive non-stop He is a very very smart man He is very knowledgeable We we compliment each other very well when it comes to computers, you know I know a little bit about C, but he knows a lot about C programming He is big into physics and he's done Written computer simulations to simulate molecules blah blah blah stuff that's way over my head He is a very bright man and me and him can argue on subjects, and we're not mad at each other We're I don't get mad with him because his arguments are usually pretty good We can argue about something for 45 minutes an hour, and I think we both enjoy it and I tell you what? I'd say he proves me wrong more than 50% of the time. I'm so happy when I prove him wrong you know and sometimes we agree to that we are you know the Lots of times it comes down to we're both right from different aspects depending on certain scenarios But I would say I would have to say more than 5% of time He's right, and I'm wrong and I come around seeing his because he has a good argument because he has good arguments Not just because he's right. You can be right all you want But if you don't know why you're right and you can't explain why you're right It doesn't matter that you're right when you're talking to somebody. I mean you're still right But you're not gonna get that across to somebody And that's one of the issues I have when I talk to people about computers is Like let's say I want to try to get someone to switch to Linux It's it's difficult because to me I just point out the facts look here's a computer from 15 years ago 20 years ago I can run a current modern version of Linux on here, and yeah, it's not the fast machine world But it works try doing that with Windows Okay, so I just proved that Linux is More efficient. Okay. It's like now I can talk about Okay Now try to move all your settings from a Windows machine to a new machine without having to clone the whole hard drive Which really isn't gonna work because Windows is going to tell you there's new hardware and boot and you have to re-certify or whatever They do nowadays when you put in new hardware to prevent you from copying it Linux. I can just Pull out the hard drive put in a machine or clone the hard drive and put it in a new machine And it will most likely boot up fine But even if it's a whole new machine in a brand new install I can copy all my settings are plain text files Most time in my home directory. I can just copy it to a new system or if I have two computers I can have it. See yo synchronize back and forth with ease without any complications. It's super easy Try doing that with the Windows registry. Yeah, you can export stuff and import stuff But it's just just one big blob of a Database and it's just a mess, you know, that might be over a lot of people's head, but That's that's Mario. These are valid points. The thing is a lot of people aren't persuaded by facts They want you to be nice and oh see my point of view and then maybe I'll come over to you But that's you watch videos on winning arguments and getting people to See your point of view and the thing is you need to they always say, you know Look at their point point out valid points at that part that way they feel confident And then they might are more likely to listen to you when I talk to people And this isn't good and this is just how I am and it's great that there's people out there Who are probably better at talking to people and getting them switched over? Or whatever the argument is For me, it's like I'm not here To win you over I'm here to tell you the facts Because I don't care about opinions when it comes to computers, you know Opinions are what background do you want on your desktop? Do you want your toolbar at the top of the screen bottom of screen? Do you want it hidden most of the time? Those are those are opinions And you might be able to get into a little bit of argument over which is more efficient Like you look at Mac operating systems and it has the one toolbar for all applications and whatever application you're clicked In the toolbar now changes to that That's a matter of opinion if you like that you like that I would argue that is less efficient but in such a minuscule way in that Let's say I have two windows open and I want to go to file Edit or something or file open on one of them if you have a separate toolbar in both of them I just go straight to that and click file and go down to open where with my little experience of using the Mac interface The Apple interface whatever you want to call it I you have to click on the window then go up to the top of the screen to file and then if you want to go to the other Program you got to go click on that so it adds that extra step of having to click on the application But in reality And I actually said that to a guy at an Apple store once Who worked there and his response would be pretty much what my response would be as well I use keyboard shortcuts, which is really the best way to do it So but it's a matter of opinion whether you like your your clothes Maximize and minimize buttons on the right side of your window or the left side of your window Those are opinions and if there's any technical one is better than the other. It's going to be minuscule I personally don't have a Toolbar on any of my windows I use I3 window manager And I don't have any borders on my windows and X's to minimize because it's a tiling window manager I use keyboard shortcuts anyway All I'm saying is if you're going to have a point of view on something Make sure you thought it out and you have a decent argument and some people are just bad at expressing Their thoughts. I know sometimes I can get very As I said, I have a temper I get very frustrated when I get angry and and and I heart it's hard for me to Get out what I'm trying to say, but at least I'll have an argument and again that one time I had and the friend I had the argument with me and him are actually on Very good terms. There were other people in the room who don't like talking to me because I got so angry with him They weren't even part of the argument and they want nothing to do with me, which I'm fine with but Just Think about your argument and think do I really believe what I believe or do I believe what I believe because I was told to Believe this by some fun commercial by some company that doesn't care about me At least that was the issue in that particular argument. There's other arguments, too But just have a good argument. Anyway, thank you for listening to me.
