    TM is a really inefficient way to watch for requesters. It will run each active job on its own timer, which means a lot of page requests if you want to watch for a lot of things, so you're more likely to get page request errors.

    Overwatch refreshes the first page of hits and searches that for anything on its list. So there is only one page request per cycle regardless of how many search terms you are looking for.

    *Yes but different. It's not a scraper in the way that TM is (so you can't do things like search for surveys ≥.75, etc. It's more for watching requesters using as few PREs as possible.

    It's pretty simple for me:

    - Figure out what's really important to you.
    - Prioritize all of your desires so that you know which ones to sacrifice when they come into conflict.
    - Set goals based on your desires.
    - Anything that brings you closer to your goals is morally right.

    The word "virtue" comes from Latin for "man", and originally represented traits that would lead a man to victory in combat. To be virtuous is to simply be good at winning. All sorts of irrelevant crap has been tacked on during complacent periods of peace.

    But ultimately (and ironically), the individual is only one who has the power to make his own decisions.

    This was actually the information I needed to be excited to switch over. I was getting so many PREs after I started using Panda Crazy and it was super annoying.

    Humanity's greatest strength is our ability to work together. As such, it is worth considering how others are affected by your decisions and actions. It is worth considering what others view as right and wrong. We all accomplish more when we work for a common good.

    Yep, this is why honor within the tribe is a virtue. You have to cooperate with your teammates in order to accomplish things as a human. You have to know that the people you're working with will stay true to the collective goal.

    But anyone that seriously (rather than playfully) butts heads with me is not on my team, and so honor codes therefore do not apply between me and them.

    All I'm saying at this point is that last point leads to a world of trouble and Sam'ing
    I see "art of manliness" and I just automatically think Frank Mackey from Magnolia

    I think it just went fast. I noticed it, started doing them, got a 5 minute C-sat, and then they were gone. Probably should have saved the C-sat.

    Lol I don't even read that blog, but from a quick skim, it looks to be pretty well-written and expresses the core of what I want to express without my needing to write a whole essay myself.
