Performing a hard reset on my phone.

All of a sudden the system processes are murdering my battery. Lasts approximately two hours off cable and burns holes in my pockets.

Obstinacy.  (or the nirvana fallacy)

Thanks. I was thinking that it might be that one but couldn't find a fallacy site that described it in a way that seemed to pertain to the issue I'm thinking of.

This was the closest I could come up with:
http://www.logicallyfallacious.com/index...na-fallacy
Quote:Comparing a realistic solution with an idealized one, and dismissing or even discounting the realistic solution as a result of comparing to a “perfect world” or impossible standard. Ignoring the fact that improvements are often good enough reason.

The other one I was thinking of, especially since the argument I'm dealing with is a reformulation of the "Where's the missing link?" creationist argument, was Moving the Goalposts, but that's more an implied fallacy in this person's argument than a committed one. So far...

Why do you think I have the name I have?? Wink

I'm also not a fan of name changes - makes it confusing. Although at least you're giving people fair warning that a name change might be coming so there's that.

Wondering why Kitan wonders.

Listening to songs that make me shudder first and want to barf second. Trying to get a nasty idea out of my head

And procrastinating. HARD ._.
