Linking to a video of a one hit wonder from the 80s is hardly what I'd call "A lack of respect" to the average person.

A sociopath is a pretty loose definition. If you need to not watch a video of Rick Astley, or your feelings are severely hurt by Rick Astley, then perhaps you could call me one.
I was more referring to someone who doesn't function well socially.

I'll acknowledge that different ages and locations and even social circles in general have different societal expectations.
But, get off your high horse.
You can target me as someone who isn't in "the real world" since I'm only in my young 20s (although I'd somewhat argue that point, I'll concede it for now), but you can't look at someone like Pyro who's doing graduate work and say he hasn't seen "the real world".
Judging, if nothing else, by how you're stating yourself in this debate, I'd hardly peg you for someone who can represent the voice of "the real world" whatsoever.

Similarly, you're making the moronic assumption that you're owed some glorious bounty of respect wherein we don't link to anything that you don't like, or clearly we disrespect cemented societal norms and don't know how the real world works.

In any case, this is my last say, because I hadn't intended this much of a derail when I posted my original criticism. Anything else anyone wants to say to me on the matter, PM me; I'm going to do my best to avoid posting here for the sake of less headache for everyone.

Linking to something is one thing. Tricking someone into viewing something that you know that they don't want to see is quite another. Intentionally ticking someone off isn't exactly socially positive.

By "the real world" I was referring to people that I know as people in real life, not online. Obviously everyone exists in the real world, but that wasn't my point.

People aren't owed "some glorious bounty of respect" but I do believe that everyone is entitled to the respect to not be screwed with and tricked by people who seem to think that ****ing other people off is entertainment or fun for all involved.

Kay, I know I said I'd shut up, but I'll take a sec for this one; my apologies for that. I read you entirely wrong on that part. I (obviously) thought it was a loaded statement meaning that myself and pyr0 hadn't been out into the real word, not just an extended way of saying "IRL".
Again, my bad.

No problem. I didn't think about it being taken that way until you mentioned it.

We know the game and were gonna play it

And if you ask me how Im feeling

Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up

IBP's machines are mostly decent, but I can use higher-end (mostly 1 step down from the true top of the line, as opposed to mid-range from IBP) parts and save 20% on pricing by building from scratch. It's been a decade since I last did this, but I figure the principle should be similar. Probably won't actually get around to ordering pieces until I get my housing situation worked out, since it doesn't really make sense to order and set up a new computer right before having to move.

Just go to newegg and get your parts there. I'm sure you can put together a mid to high end system for $1k. And if you've built your own system before it shouldn't be too much trouble.

That's exactly what I have planned. I'm planning to spend about $1350, all told, for a monster system. I'm just a little worried that things have changed so much in the last decade that I won't know the little details.

Edit: I hope this isn't against MOTL rules to post, but not satisfied with legalized medical marijuana and gay marriage, California is set to legalize marijuana for all consenting adults. I'm so proud of my home state.
