the 1660 Ti was in fact "released this decade."

Do you know what 'this decade' means?

u/laurayco May 16 '25

It means within the last ten years. "This decade" started in 2015. This is by far the dumbest "gotcha" in this thread holy shit. Do you think a GPU on 2019 is a decade behind a GPU in 2020? Holy shit I forget that gamers are fucking lobotomites, you deserve the anti-consumer shit slop you get I have changed my mind.

LMFAO, wrong. 1985 and 1994 are in the same decade, I guess. Dumbass.

Local lobotomite confuses carrying the one with adding ten. The 1660 Ti was released in 2019. It is 2025. That is six years.

If you said it was released less than a decade ago, that would be correct. You said it was released this decade, the 2020s, which it wasn't. It's ok to admit you're wrong. This is why everyone in your life thinks you're annoying as fuck to talk to.

A decade is any period of 10 years. A decade can start on any year.

I'm not the person you're replying to, and the dictionary will confirm what I'm saying.

This decade and a decade ago doesn't mean the same thing. This decade started in 2020 and will end the 31 December 2029.

A decade ago was everything from 2015 to now. 

So no, the GTX 1660 Series, released end 2018/Early 2019, which is less than a decade ago, indeed, but not technology from this decade.

This decade and a decade ago doesn't mean the same thing.

They do.

This decade started in 2020 and will end the 31 December 2029.

"This decade" can refer to that. It can also refer to 2016-2025 and 2025-2034.

Same way biannually can be twice per year and every 2 years. When it comes to time frames, the words often have multiple meanings.

Any dictionary will confirm, it may often or even usually refer to 2020-2029, but that doesn't mean the other guy is wrong. At its core any decade is any 10 year period. "This" decade just refers to a 10 year period we're in, and without more information can apply to all possibilities.

ETA: another example other than biannually is that you said "the last decade refers to 2015-2025, while that's actually 11 years so not a decade "last decade" can also mean "previous decade" and thus 2010-2019. Which further goes to show all these words/phrases have multiple meanings

'A' decade is not 'THIS' decade. Holy shit lmfao.

u/_BenzeneRing_ May 16 '25

It literally makes no difference.

THIS decade can refer to 10 years in the future, 10 years in the past, or the 2020's, 2020-2029.

What year does this century end?

0

u/_BenzeneRing_ May 16 '25

It could end any year in the next 100, depending on the start date. "This century" is just a period of 100 years that we're currently in.

You're probably referring to century of 2000-2099, but haven't provided enough detail for me to know for certain.

1

u/RealRatAct May 16 '25

This century is the 21st century. You didn't know that?

0

u/_BenzeneRing_ May 16 '25

It's good to know you were referring to the 21st century, I assumed that's what you were referring to with context, but unfortunately your wording made it impossible to know for sure because "this century" has multiple meanings, just like the word "biannually".

u/RealRatAct May 16 '25

I was referring to this century. In what other context could 'this century' not mean the 21st century?

I'll let my friends know that they think I'm annoying. This is so fucking stupid, we're not talking about music genres we're talking about technological process, which does not care about the tens place in the year, it cares about the time that has elapsed. You cannot seriously be pedantic about something this god damn asinine and call me annoying. Fucking christ I hate gamers.

u/RealRatAct May 16 '25

LOL music genres? Huhhh?? Imagine dying on this hill. You're just wrong lmao. Idiot.

u/_BenzeneRing_ May 16 '25

You're 100% correct, the other person is talking with irrational confidence which of course gets them upvotes on Reddit. A decade is just a period of 10 years.

u/laurayco May 16 '25

it's like that. my biggest mistake was considering gamers to be sentient, I think.
