[23:29:13] <JamesNZ> Hah.
[23:28:57] <BadCoderFinger> I played. The street lost!
[23:28:26] * JamesNZ envisions snowball fights!
[23:28:13] <BadCoderFinger> Rather late in the season for snow.
[23:27:58] <BadCoderFinger> My side kinda bites. 6 inches of snow last night. Melting today, though, so tomorrow should be fine.

[23:26:56] <JamesNZ> java--
[23:26:53] <JamesNZ> Bright and sunny, with Java poison everywhere :) How's your side?
[23:25:52] <BadCoderFinger> How are things on your side of the globe?
[23:21:29] <JamesNZ> Heh.
[23:21:22] <BadCoderFinger> Someday I'll regain my coolness.
[23:20:27] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, it's not cool anymore. Sigh.
[23:19:42] * JamesNZ sees plenty others using capitals :P
[23:19:07] <BadCoderFinger> Hey JamesNZ (One of the few people using capitals in the nick!)
[23:16:55] * exec prematurely postulates a used franger of glowballs towards BadCoderFinger

[22:18:43] <crutchy> perl also has some offputting sytax issues (like arse-about declarations) but not as bad as python
[22:17:49] <crutchy> notwithstanding all of python's various annoyances (many of which are probably shared by other scripting languages like php), python just has a shitty syntax. i don't wanna learn python cos its a shitty looking language

[11:22:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> lot of it, yeah. which sucks.
[11:22:17] <chromas> seems like a lot of the popular country shit is just pop music with a twangy guitar and an accent
[11:21:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> he's also a pretty badass guitarist really
[11:21:40] <chromas> it actually sounds country too

[11:01:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, i'd rather catch trenchfoot or dysentery than a baby
[11:01:48] <crutchy> that shit (literally) was nasty
[11:01:37] <crutchy> or dysentery
[11:01:21] <SirFinkus> it'd probably be shittier to get trenchfoot or something
[11:01:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes but i make absolutely sure that's 100% of the time
[11:00:53] <chromas> need to rig that karma to permanently have a value of 8008135

[10:59:46] <SirFinkus> pfft, of all the ways to go in a war, an IED sounds pretty nice
[10:59:22] <crutchy> mines will just as sooner blow up your toddler as the bad guy
[10:59:17] <SirFinkus> HYBRIDS
[10:58:55] <crutchy> actually the nastiest part of modern warfare nowadays seems to be IEDs
[10:58:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> makes me sick what the US is today really. we started out as a bunch of fuckers who rioted and went to war over a 3% hike on tea

[10:57:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> so different than the first in that there's radio and someone sides the cows are getting the anthrax
[10:56:42] <SirFinkus> but really, the next american revolutionary war will be fought with anthrax, ham radio, and liquor
[10:56:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> yall see bout the tigernados they had out in OK the other day?
[10:56:24] * crutchy must google that
[10:56:13] <crutchy> sharkgator
[10:56:00] <crutchy> alligators with sharks
[10:55:56] <crutchy> or sharks
[10:55:54] <chromas> phasers
[10:55:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> thas sharks
[10:55:34] <crutchy> lasers dude
[10:55:27] * TheMightyBuzzard ponders how to weaponize alligators
[10:54:57] <chromas> retired jews
[10:54:43] <crutchy> florida is crawling with reptilians. and alligators
[10:53:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> possible but that'd turn an armed group of nuts into a national movement overnight
[10:53:47] <SirFinkus> no, that was the reptilians
[10:53:36] <chromas> broken car windows. that's their weapon
[10:53:21] <chromas> oh yeah, texas just had hail the other night
[10:53:15] <crutchy> biological and chemical weapons come to mind
[10:52:56] * crutchy shudders to think what kind of weapons would be used in a new revolutionary war
[10:52:47] <SirFinkus> shotguns? you'll need rifles for a revolution
[10:52:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> but free, every now and then
[10:52:21] * chromas toses crutchy a barrel o' shotties
[10:52:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar
[10:52:07] <crutchy> hence scary
[10:51:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, we're always close to violent revolution. we was born that way and we mean to continue that way every time necessary.
[10:51:48] <crutchy> prolly a minority here
[10:51:27] <crutchy> i don't think anyone here really cares much about israel. except the christians and catholics or whatever
[10:51:05] <crutchy> haha yeah... israel
[10:50:56] <crutchy> but thats scary too, cos it make it seem like your closer to violent revolution
[10:50:30] <chromas> crutchy: just wait until you guys piss off israel
[10:49:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, ya. thas fine though. we have more guns in the us held by private citizens than any army on the planet has.
[10:49:57] <SirFinkus> given how much we waste on "defense" it's natural that these are common sights
[10:49:45] <crutchy> i'm less afraid of america as a foreigner cos as long as i don't live in an oil rich country i'm fine
[10:49:09] <crutchy> hehe. i meant from the point of view of living there
[10:49:06] <chromas> were those low-res photos taken by concerned citizens with their cellphones?
[10:48:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> good
[10:48:37] <crutchy> your country is scary
[10:46:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> driving a convoy down the road is one thing. things gotta get places even if they're painted cammo. mass armor movements is different.
[10:45:48] <SirFinkus> never said it was a good thing, just that the jade helm thing isn't anything special
[10:45:28] <crutchy> that's not a good thing dude
[10:45:20] <crutchy> SirFinkus, if that's becoming normal in the US, then that's fucked up too
[10:45:17] <SirFinkus> see them driving down the road
[10:45:12] <SirFinkus> again, I see that shit all the time
[10:44:29] <crutchy> dunno if these photos are legit, but if they are then WTF?
[10:44:15] <crutchy> http://i.ytimg.com
[10:43:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> it isn't anything but training but it's training in the exact areas they'd most need to pacify if martial law were instituted.
[10:43:54] <crutchy> http://allnewspipeline.com
[10:43:46] * SirFinkus sees that once a month
[10:43:03] <crutchy> i doubt it is anything much, but if i lived in texas and i saw the photos of hundreds of APC's rolling in on trains i would prolly be shitting my pants
[10:41:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, that's totally innocent
[10:41:31] <crutchy> the pentagon isn't doing much to quell fears
[10:41:19] <crutchy> that's what it seems like
[10:41:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh you mean the training exercises on us soil about how to institute martial law. only training in areas of heavy dissatisfaction with the government?
[10:41:04] <crutchy> lol
[10:40:59] <crutchy> "The Army says Colorado has been dropped from a multi-state special forces training exercise because the unit that was designated to participate won't be available."
[10:40:39] <crutchy> whatever it is apparently colorado didn't like it much either
[10:40:27] <dogpipe> ^ 03Colorado dropped from multi-state Jade Helm 15 special forces exercise - 7NEWS Denver TheDenverChannel.com
[10:40:25] <crutchy> http://www.thedenverchannel.com
[10:39:55] <crutchy> but it seems to have a few texans spooked into believing its martial law
[10:39:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> military is for killing people, politicians is for making nice with them.
[10:39:03] <crutchy> some military training exercise thingy
[10:38:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh
[10:38:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> whas jade helm?
[10:37:56] <crutchy> wtf?
[10:37:49] <crutchy> "In lay terms, the military is teaching soldiers to apply the soft sciences of sociology and anthropology to understand distinct groups of people — their values, beliefs, behaviors — and thus prevent and win conflicts in hostile territories across the globe."
[10:32:01] <crutchy> i'm just reading about it today. apparently its causing a bit of a stink
[10:31:21] <crutchy> being a fellow libertarian, what do you think of the whole 'jade helm' shit?
[10:28:51] <crutchy> ex machina

[10:26:26] <crutchy> definitely would have been a waste of an imax ticket, but still good movie
[10:26:02] <crutchy> most of the acting was fairly atrocious

[10:16:59] <SirFinkus> which wasn't shocking in the least
[10:16:47] <SirFinkus> the important ones anyway
[10:16:39] <SirFinkus> obama talked a decent game when he was campaigning, then he immediately recanted on all his promises
[10:16:10] <MrPlow> crutchy, you're a socialist!
[10:16:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> ;socialist crutchy
[10:15:14] <crutchy> i don't care much for obama. he's just another lying douchebag like bush
[10:14:30] <Bender> karma - coffee: 1358
[10:14:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> coffee++
[10:13:27] <chromas> "obama's comin' for us! hide yo' kids, hide yo' asshole"
[10:13:24] <SirFinkus> if there's some kind of massacre at a protest or something it still won't be anything because everyone still has their mcdonalds and american idol and it won't really affect them
[10:12:55] <chromas> I bet if that happened fox news anchors would burst their pants
[10:12:11] <SirFinkus> it doesn't really matter which side he's on
[10:11:45] <SirFinkus> he'll still be a "rogue nut"
[10:11:36] <crutchy> i like how you immediately assumed the slip would be by a civilian
[10:10:45] <crutchy> what if that "nut" is part of the military?
[10:10:17] <SirFinkus> then he's a "nut" and there's a whole media circus about the manifesto, and the standoff, and all that bullshit
[10:09:35] <crutchy> maybe nothing will happen, but maybe someone's trigger finger will slip
[10:08:51] <crutchy> and lots of em
[10:08:42] <crutchy> people with guns
[10:08:37] <crutchy> if they can't be open and honest about what they're doing, people are gunna get pissed off
[10:08:31] <SirFinkus> extremely unlikely
[10:08:31] <chromas> I liked when the one (was it cnn?) interrupted talk about the NSA to cover a celebrity car crash
[10:07:51] <crutchy> the military might just find that texas does indeed become 'hostile territory' if they keep up the 'classified' bs
[10:07:43] <SirFinkus> the media in the US (and elsewhere too) has little concern for things like facts, all they want is drama and suspense
[10:06:34] <crutchy> i don't know anything about that, but i guess
[10:06:28] <SirFinkus> it's dramatic, and fits a classic narrative
[10:06:16] <SirFinkus> these are the same people who speculate about lost airliners being sucked in to black holes
[10:05:52] <SirFinkus> the media covers tons of shit that doesn't make sense, a take over of texas by the military is just the kind of drama they love
[10:05:49] <crutchy> why is the media covering it?
[10:05:07] <crutchy> it wouldn't even be a story
[10:04:59] <crutchy> if the conspiracy made no sense, the media wouldn't be covering it
[10:04:37] <SirFinkus> and the conspiracy itself makes no sense, nobody is going to buy a takeover of texas, texas needs to "do" something first
[10:03:47] <SirFinkus> if it was a real thing, the media wouldn't even be covering it
[10:03:24] <crutchy> its certainly drawing a lot of attention, and when the media makes this much effort to denouce something it usually raises suspicions in its own right
[10:02:17] <crutchy> maybe, but it will be interesting to follow regardless
[10:01:43] <SirFinkus> it's a very vocal minority
[10:01:30] <crutchy> texas is a fan of the military, but that is different
[10:00:45] <crutchy> and if you're not aware of texas' suspicions of the military industrial complex, then apparently i know texas better than you do
[10:00:12] <crutchy> obama was just to (try to) show that what politicians run on often doesn't have anything to with their platform, and bush was prolly no different, but i read that he did run on peace
[09:59:03] <SirFinkus> what does obama have to do with anything? my point is that concerns with the military industrial complex clearly don't rank high on texan's priorities
[09:58:14] <crutchy> but what else is there?
[09:58:08] <crutchy> politicians lie
[09:57:37] <crutchy> do you honestly think welfare recipients voted for obama twice because of 'hope and change'?
[09:57:10] <crutchy> from what i read, yeah
[09:56:49] <SirFinkus> you honestly think Texans voted for Bush (twice) because of his "peace platform"?
[09:56:24] <crutchy> politics in america sucking is no revelation
[09:55:55] <crutchy> he broke his election promises. he's a douchebag
[09:55:50] <chromas> didn't bush move to texas and change his accent like carlos mencia?
[09:55:39] <crutchy> bush was elected on a peace platform
[09:55:27] <SirFinkus> texas also gave us the bushes and rick perry
[09:55:17] <chromas> why won't he show it to me?
[09:55:13] <chromas> long form
[09:55:11] <chromas> oh really? I'd like to see his birth certificate
[09:55:08] <crutchy> who do you think voted him into congress 12 times?
[09:54:52] <SirFinkus> 1 texan
[09:54:39] <crutchy> but he's still texan
[09:54:31] <SirFinkus> ron paul is an anomaly
[09:54:12] <crutchy> its where ron paul came from
[09:54:07] <crutchy> texans have woken up to it before most of the rest of america
[09:54:06] <SirFinkus> there is no distinction for most people in the US
[09:53:47] <SirFinkus> I understand, but I doubt most texans do, even though that makes me sound like an elitist ass
[09:52:57] <crutchy> if you don't know the difference between the defense forces and the military industrial complex, you should look it up. might be a real eye opener
[09:51:03] <SirFinkus> pre-emptive strikes and peacekeeping and all that
[09:51:02] <chromas> the best defence…
[09:51:00] <crutchy> that's the military industrial complex. totally different
[09:50:47] <SirFinkus> well, our military is more of a national offense thing now
[09:49:59] <crutchy> national defense is one of the things government is supposed to do
[09:49:39] * SirFinkus shrugs
[09:49:37] <SirFinkus> and law enforcement
[09:49:32] <chromas> you getchyer flag up and start wavin' it mister!
[09:49:22] <SirFinkus> like small government except for the military
[09:49:12] <SirFinkus> but basically texas
[09:49:07] <SirFinkus> it's a strange thing, idk how that works
[09:48:57] <SirFinkus> so this is a weird thing, people can still be fans of the "military" but still be against the government
[09:48:51] <crutchy> god i hope not. or i really pity them
[09:48:37] <chromas> ooh, their governor is Greg Abbot. Any relation?
[09:48:05] <crutchy> that would warrant military response to quell the riots then :p
[09:47:54] <ciri> lol that's funny!
[09:47:54] <crutchy> lol
[09:47:49] <chromas> it's 'cause they ran out of beer
[09:47:25] <crutchy> texans are known to be pretty fond of the military too, so for something like this to spook them seems out of sorts
[09:47:17] <chromas> con-vooooooy
[09:47:16] <SirFinkus> occasionally the sound of artillery practice
[09:47:07] <SirFinkus> helicopters buzzing my house, convoys going down the freeway
[09:46:49] <SirFinkus> I live near a military base, this stuff is pretty standard
[09:46:28] <crutchy> from what i've seen, i kinda feel sorry for people in texas who have nfi what's about to happen
[09:45:51] <crutchy> just seems like they could get someone a bit more articulate than the blathering idiot they had on to give the official pentagon response
[09:45:13] <crutchy> prolly
[09:45:08] <SirFinkus> someone needs to justify their budget
[09:44:51] <SirFinkus> don't get me wrong, I don't think they should be running these kinds of drills anyway, but I'd be absolutely shocked if it was something sinister like that
[09:44:42] <crutchy> "we have to scare the crap out of a bunch of our own citizens so that we can train to protect them"
[09:44:11] <crutchy> and embarrassing (for the supposedly most powerful nation)
[09:43:50] <crutchy> its pathetic
[09:43:43] <SirFinkus> is that shocking or out of the ordinary?
[09:43:22] <crutchy> the military does seem to be handling this in a pretty fucked up way
[09:43:14] <SirFinkus> standard response
[09:43:11] <SirFinkus> haha
[09:43:06] <crutchy> i'm not saying the conspiracy is right. just asking questions
[09:42:40] <SirFinkus> not that it really matters though
[09:41:50] <SirFinkus> I did
[09:41:42] <crutchy> read the backlog
[09:41:36] <SirFinkus> did I?
[09:41:09] <crutchy> yet when i use it you think i'm exaggerating
[09:40:54] <crutchy> you mentioned the word 'raiding' first
[09:40:44] <SirFinkus> it is pretty normal
[09:40:42] <chromas> in scare quotes
[09:40:32] <crutchy> you mentioned raiding a prairie as if that's the norm
[09:40:23] <chromas> Texas loves the military; it's just returning the love
[09:40:12] <SirFinkus> they're going to fly some helicopters around
[09:40:00] <SirFinkus> "raiding"
[09:39:39] <crutchy> also valid, but that question doesn't involve raiding large portions of a state in a military excercise, so bit different
[09:39:39] <SirFinkus> and why all the pretense of a drill? what does that accomplish?
[09:39:09] <chromas> SirFinkus: don't be dense; it's crab people!
[09:38:59] <SirFinkus> literally the same argument
[09:38:50] <SirFinkus> "how can you be sure the reptilians aren't running the government when you haven't seen world leader's DNA?"
[09:38:37] <crutchy> you denounce the conspiracy, but you don't seem to know any better
[09:38:27] <chromas> Also we don't care about those states anyhow
[09:38:22] <SirFinkus> no it isn't
[09:38:13] <crutchy> well, yeah. but its still a valid question
[09:38:00] <SirFinkus> you could say that about literally anything
[09:37:55] <crutchy> <devils_advocate>
[09:37:53] <SirFinkus> I live near a military base, I've seen troops "invade" a prairie near my house
[09:37:41] <crutchy> if they don't go into detail, how can you be sure the conspiracy is wrong?
[09:37:16] <SirFinkus> they do this shit all the time
[09:37:09] <crutchy> a lot of the media hype denouncing the conspiracy just come off as 'not in my backyard so nothing to worry about' types
[09:36:53] <SirFinkus> wargames, they aren't going to go into detail because that would defeat the purpose
[09:36:24] <crutchy> what the drill is?
[09:36:13] <crutchy> does anyone know what the military is actually going to do in texas?
[09:35:41] <chromas> the truth about 9/11 is the buildings killed themselves when they found out what was going on inside them
[09:35:32] <crutchy> even that report doesn't actually explain what the excercise is about
[09:35:09] <chromas> abc is 'establishment media'
[09:35:08] <SirFinkus> I'd bet there are more "thruthers" than there are people going crazy over jade helm
[09:35:08] <crutchy> yeah i got that open right now

[09:34:56] <chromas> http://abcnews.go.com
[09:34:40] <SirFinkus> plenty, but alex jones gets EVERY conspiracy theory
[09:34:21] <crutchy> all the people that are talking it down are from outside texas
[09:33:12] <crutchy> there are plenty of other conspiracy theories by alex jones that don't draw this much attention
[09:32:46] <crutchy> i don't get that feeling, but meh
[09:32:44] <SirFinkus> 99.99% of texans either don't know, or don't give a shit
[09:32:24] <SirFinkus> it's a few very vocal people
[09:32:17] <SirFinkus> it isn't "the entire state"
[09:32:01] <crutchy> they either don't give a shit that they're scaring an entire state, or they just don't wanna put their foot in their mouth
[09:31:54] <SirFinkus> just wargames
[09:31:48] <SirFinkus> generally how this shit goes
[09:31:43] * SirFinkus shrugs
[09:31:33] <crutchy> i'm not a die hard conspiracy nut, and alex jones is a whacko, but what's got me interested is the official silence
[09:30:48] <SirFinkus> it's like the fema camps and all that shit
[09:30:39] <crutchy> drill for what? alien invasion?
[09:30:29] <SirFinkus> and I say this as a conspiracy retard
[09:30:18] <SirFinkus> a drill
[09:30:16] <SirFinkus> it's fucking nothing
[09:25:13] * crutchy grabs popcorn from the safety of his australian home
[09:23:47] * crutchy predicts there will be a lot of texans armed to the teeth, and if the military is creeping around its gunna be a powderkeg
[09:22:15] <crutchy> if that's what they're doing, how fucked up is that?
[09:21:56] <crutchy> cos i never heard of any sort of training exercise like this, and there's some scary photos of trainloads of armored vehicles and talk of live ammo and military infiltrating communities etc
[09:20:36] <crutchy> lot of establishment media playing it down, saying that the military would never do that, but there doesn't seem to be much information about what the military is actually doing (if not invading)
[09:19:18] <crutchy> from what i can tell it looks like texas is being invaded by the military
[09:18:50] <crutchy> does anyone know wtf this 'jade helm' shit is about?

[00:32:17] <arti> the only three letters you need are U, S, and A.
[00:31:58] * arti stirs the pot
[00:31:52] <arti> people hate america because they hate freedom
[00:31:32] <Ethanol-fueled> But apparantly British elections are every bit the joke American elections are.
[00:31:21] <arti> i'll educate myself on it more.
[00:30:20] <Ethanol-fueled> arti, scots have oil money.
[00:30:11] <Ethanol-fueled> juggs, that was the NSA/GCHQ cutting them off.
[00:30:05] <arti> don't scots live on the dole?
[00:29:52] <juggs> Strange they didn't vote that way when they had their referendum on the matter :/
[00:29:46] <Ethanol-fueled> and I say, go for it! Fuck the Brits!
[00:29:24] <Ethanol-fueled> Well, the scots seem to want to secede.
[00:28:17] -!- Subsentient has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[00:26:07] <juggs> Presuming you meant "secede" - that's quite a complex subject as it involves questions around currency and EU membership as well as a purely political separation from the UK
[00:23:53] <juggs> Well Scotland was a pretty staunch Labour region - Labour hardly put on a show anyone would vote for, so unsurprisingly Scots looked elsewhere to place their votes. Unlikely they would start voting Tory :D
[00:23:00] <Ethanol-fueled> How long will it be until the Scots succeed?
[00:22:11] <Ethanol-fueled> My point is Scottish nationalism. How are they rebelling against the Brit mainland?
[00:21:28] <juggs> it does - what's your point EF?
[00:21:13] <chromas> it's not kirk cameron is it
[00:20:42] <Ethanol-fueled> so Scotland's oil wealth has nothing to do with Britain?
[00:20:16] <juggs> I don't
[00:19:49] <Ethanol-fueled> What do you think about the SNP?
[00:19:22] <juggs> aye
[00:19:09] <Ethanol-fueled> juggs, you britbongs are in for more Cameron.
[00:18:26] <juggs> o.O
[00:18:20] <Ethanol-fueled> HASHHAAHAHAHA
[00:18:16] <Ethanol-fueled> FUCK YOU
