[00:50:04] <SpallsHurgenson> oh, Internet; you so funny! http://fusion.net
[00:50:05] <GravyCheeseFries> ^ 03The internet?s sending the Oregon militiamen dildos for fun | Fusion
[00:50:37] <BadCoderFinger> Hey Spalls. Any eye bleach for that link?
[00:52:55] <SpallsHurgenson> oh man up and look at all the dildos!
[00:53:28] <BadCoderFinger> Not without goggles.
[00:56:55] * SpallsHurgenson straps BadCoderFinger into the dildo-appreciation chair and makes him watch
[00:57:51] <SpallsHurgenson> why's everyone looking at me like that? what, you all don't have one of those chairs?
[00:59:28] <BadCoderFinger> Uh, ew.
[01:00:14] <BadCoderFinger> I noticed you embossed the name onto it, and laminated the certificate of authenticity.
[01:02:12] <SpallsHurgenson> I don't care what the pictures show, I am not some sort of perverted sex-freak!!!!
[01:02:41] <BadCoderFinger> To be fair, that's a lot of pictures to try and discredit.
[01:03:41] <BadCoderFinger> On a related note, judging by the pictures, you must live near a sheep ranch.
[01:04:15] <SpallsHurgenson> hey now, that's going to far! Its one thing to say I'm a sick pervert, its another to say I'm a New Zealander!
[01:04:22] <BadCoderFinger> I'd suggest not trying to get them to wear leather again, as the pictures conclusively demonstrate that to be a bad idea.
[01:04:38] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!

[01:05:31] <GravyCheeseFries> ^ 03Mozilla Persona login system to shut down in November | Computerworld ( http://www.computerworld.com )
[01:05:46] <SpallsHurgenson> you know, on the one hand I totally support Mozilla shutting down a service nobody uses...
[01:06:16] <SpallsHurgenson> on the other hand, it makes me far less likely to want to use any of their non-Firefox products
[01:06:29] -!- JamesNZ has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[01:07:10] <SpallsHurgenson> Mozilla needs to get out of the mindset that they are anything other than a browser company; shrink the damn staff and just stick to your core product
[01:07:37] <SpallsHurgenson> nobody wants mozillaOS or mozilla-cloud or mozilla-anything-except-firefox-(well-maybe-thunderbird)
[01:07:50] <BadCoderFinger> SpallsHurgenson: Google does the same thing. Shuts down product lines that they feel aren't adding to the coffer.
[01:08:10] <BadCoderFinger> Thunderbird? Ugh. I much prefer mutt.
[01:08:11] <SpallsHurgenson> Google is the exception to the rule
[01:08:13] <BadCoderFinger> mutt++
[01:08:13] <Bender> karma - mutt: 1
[01:08:31] <BadCoderFinger> What! I'm the only one? Really? Turn in your geek cards, all of you!

[01:09:24] <chromas> nrt nrt
[01:09:43] <SpallsHurgenson> I liked pine when I used it in the 90s... but thunderbird suits me now
[01:10:39] <mechanicjay> I'm not always on a machine with a gui.
[01:11:01] <SpallsHurgenson> I'm usually not checking my mail if I'm not on a machine with a gui
[01:11:15] <chromas> quick! someone port xul to ncurses!
[01:11:28] <SpallsHurgenson> and when I am gui-less and I absolutely need to check email, there's my phone
[01:11:50] <BadCoderFinger> SpallsHurgenson: That's not exactly gui-less, now is it?
[01:13:20] * SpallsHurgenson smacks BadCoderFinger
[01:13:24] <BadCoderFinger> Ouch!
[01:13:35] <SpallsHurgenson> that'll teach you. Now get back in the chair!
[01:13:42] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[01:14:13] * BadCoderFinger admires the craftsmanship of the chair. You've got to admire the craftsmanship.
[01:14:17] <SpallsHurgenson> http://www.gamasutra.com
[01:14:18] <GravyCheeseFries> ^ 03Gamasutra - ESPN now has its own dedicated eSports zone
[01:14:37] * SpallsHurgenson is waiting for ESPN to have a fantasy football channel :)
[01:16:03] <BadCoderFinger> SpallsHurgenson: Sounds like the next logical step.
[01:16:17] <BadCoderFinger> Fantasy Football: D&D for jocks.
[01:16:43] <SpallsHurgenson> fantasy football /used/ to be D&D for jocks... from what I can tell, though, now its just gambling
[01:17:38] -!- Azrael has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
[01:17:52] <BadCoderFinger> That's what the internet is now: Porn, spam, and gambling. I think in that order.
[01:18:47] <SpallsHurgenson> I actually weaned a fantasy-footballer off the game and onto D&D. Now instead of losing all his money on gambling, he spends that money on overpriced dice and rulebooks :)
[01:20:00] <BadCoderFinger> Hey! I have a LOT of dice! Only some of it is overpriced!
[01:20:43] <BadCoderFinger> Actually, I have more dice that anyone I know, with one exception. And he works for Chessex, so I don't count him.
[01:20:51] <SpallsHurgenson> I still have my original D&D dice that came with my first boxed set (but I sadly lost the crayon that was used to fill in the numbers :)
[01:21:12] <BadCoderFinger> Luckily you can replace the crayon, heh!
[01:21:26] <SpallsHurgenson> nah, it wouldn't be the same
[01:21:34] <SpallsHurgenson> besides, those dice sucked :)
[01:21:47] <BadCoderFinger> Well, yes.
[01:22:03] <BadCoderFinger> I had a set of Gamescience dice that I really treasured.
[01:22:36] <BadCoderFinger> Rolled much better that the original dice.
[01:22:40] <SpallsHurgenson> my regular dice are mostly 20+ years old; I was never big into dice.
[01:23:48] * chromas sneaks in and replaces everyone's dice with spinners
[01:24:15] <BadCoderFinger> chromas: I knew that was you! Put those cookies back!
[01:24:38] <chromas> mhmm hmhmmhm mhmhmhm hmmhm!
[01:24:39] <SpallsHurgenson> apparently, many "modern" gamers use apps on their smartphones these days: heathens!

[01:24:54] <chromas> /swallow; it wasn't me
[01:25:01] <BadCoderFinger> No kidding. There's something really cool about plastic dice bouncing on the table.
[01:25:15] <SpallsHurgenson> or off the table :)
[01:25:18] <chromas> SpallsHurgenson: but you can shake your phone to roll the dice. how awesome is that?
[01:25:44] <SpallsHurgenson> plus, I banish smartphones from the table during gameplay to prevent the players from getting distracted
[01:26:02] <BadCoderFinger> Not a bad idea.
[01:26:27] <chromas> But look how the dice landed! I need to instagram this
[01:26:33] <BadCoderFinger> Although at Traveller games, I encourage laptops or smartphones for the maps.
[01:27:16] <SpallsHurgenson> bah, chessex latex mat with grid + wet-erase markers!
[01:27:49] <BadCoderFinger> I have one, with the markers.
[01:27:55] <chromas> use the original microsoft surface—the "big-ass table"
[01:28:13] <SpallsHurgenson> I draw faster with the pens than ever I do with a mouse
[01:28:27] <BadCoderFinger> chromas: If it didn't suck, I would. I've seen a cool gaming table with a translucent top and a projector underneath.
[01:28:49] <BadCoderFinger> SpallsHurgenson: Yeah, for maps in your head... http://travellermap.com
[01:28:49] <GravyCheeseFries> ^ 03Traveller Map
[01:29:23] <SpallsHurgenson> arguably, you get better graphics if you use a computer... but then, I'd rather the players use their imaginations anyway rather than having everything force-fed to them
[01:29:29] <BadCoderFinger> When it's 11,000 stars to keep track of, it helps to have an online map.
[01:30:20] <SpallsHurgenson> bah, that's what wall-sized poster-maps are for :)
[01:31:05] <chromas> use one of those maps of the internet, and for activities, you have to go to the website you're 'in' and make posts and stuff
[01:31:07] <BadCoderFinger> I get pdfs and print them at poster size, but it's nice to have the map online too.
[01:31:27] <SpallsHurgenson> I wonder if that traveller map includes source material from the old judges guild books :)
[01:31:48] -!- mechanicjay has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[01:32:24] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, probably not.
[01:35:26] <SpallsHurgenson> hey, it does!
[01:35:35] <Deucalion> TheMightyBuzzard, I'm completely comfortable on a command line, but you are correct, other than the IRC server there is no need for me to be knobbing about on the SN servers and I'd really rather not have access to do so in case my credentials are compromised in some way. Principle of least privilege and all that, always been a fan of that principle. Besides pj would likely have an aneurysm if I started digging around the web frontends or DB se
[01:35:35] <Deucalion> rvers for the site :D
[01:38:41] <SpallsHurgenson> awww, give 'im full access TMB! What's the worst that could happen? :)
[01:42:16] <Deucalion> SpallsHurgenson, I've not verified that I ~don't~ have full access... just kinda assumed so and really can't be arsed to explore. I have access to what I need, that's fine for me :)
[01:43:16] <SpallsHurgenson> give him ULTIMATE POWER as a test to see how corruptible he is :)
[01:44:46] -!- Azrael has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
[01:46:05] <Deucalion> Good luck finding something to blackmail me with that I do not already make public knowledge :P Then again... a few 100 million in untraceable low denomination notes... maybe we have a conversation :D Not sure what on SN would be worth that though!
[01:47:33] <SpallsHurgenson> hmmm... would you accept that in pennies?
[01:47:52] <Deucalion> not sure I have the storage space...
[01:48:04] <SpallsHurgenson> you'd have to pay the shipping cost, of course
[01:48:38] <SpallsHurgenson> each penny sent via a seperate fedex package :)
[01:49:04] <Deucalion> Hmm... can I collect in person instead?
[01:49:37] <SpallsHurgenson> you can pick up one penny per day, at our alternating pick-up points in London and Los Angeles :)
[01:49:57] <SpallsHurgenson> (must be picked up in person, no agents allowed :)
[01:50:02] <Deucalion> Sounds great! When do we start?
[01:51:36] <Deucalion> Of course, as you are demanding "no agents" I would expect likewise.
[01:51:43] <SpallsHurgenson> I'll contact London tomorrow. Be there at 6am local time. you can then pick up your second penny in LA at 6pm london time :)

[01:51:51] -!- mode/#Soylent [+v Azrael] by Imogen
[01:52:33] <SpallsHurgenson> missing any pickups forfeits the rest of the payment, of course :)
[01:53:17] <Deucalion> Tell ya what - just donate it to a charity of your choice, sounds easier all round.
[01:54:18] <SpallsHurgenson> no, I wanna see you flit all over the world to pick up the pennies! :)
[01:54:20] <BadCoderFinger> Sounds like some chairmakes gets the rest.
[01:54:44] <SpallsHurgenson> there's just not enough flitting in the world these days
[01:55:18] <Deucalion> Life is too short and London Heathrow to LAX is a horrid experience.
[01:55:34] <BadCoderFinger> The airlines do sort of frown upon frivolous travel.
[01:56:13] <BadCoderFinger> "You just decided to fly to Athens?" *scribbles your name on a list*
[01:56:51] <BadCoderFinger> "You just decided to fly to Tampa?" *scribbles your name on a list*
[01:57:12] <SpallsHurgenson> just explain that a strange person on the internet offered them a sum of money if they did so; I'm sure they'll be very responsive :)
[01:58:08] <BadCoderFinger> Of course they'll be responsive! By the way, have you ever been waterboarded? And we've reserved your room in Cuba for you.
[01:59:38] <SpallsHurgenson> maybe even... the chair?
[02:00:10] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[02:01:35] <Deucalion> Do I get a cigar in Cuba?
[02:02:17] <SpallsHurgenson> well, not to SMOKE
[02:02:59] <Deucalion> Hmm, I'll give it a miss then... thanks all the same.
[02:03:45] <BadCoderFinger> But it's a collector's item! Once used by a US president!
[02:04:12] <Deucalion> Not on my list of things to collect :P

[02:48:24] <cmn32480> I blame chromas
[02:48:52] * chromas pases the blame to SpallsHurgenson
[02:49:04] <Deucalion> I thought exec was crutchy's
[02:49:05] <SirFinkus> " I realized that gaining entree into the prostitution world was not going to be as easy as I imagined it."
[02:49:07] <SirFinkus> tell me about it
[02:49:13] * SpallsHurgenson moves it onto Microsoft
[02:49:33] <lala> lol where are u from sir?
[02:49:46] <lala> there are more brothels where am from than dairies
[02:49:50] <SirFinkus> US, Washington state
[02:49:53] <lala> oh ok
[02:49:56] <SpallsHurgenson> you need to show off more leg, SirFinkus
[02:50:10] <Deucalion> Where are you from lala?
[02:50:14] <lala> am kiwi
[02:50:19] <lala> but now am in france
[02:50:29] <SirFinkus> "Despite the fascination with my background and intentions, the prostitute immediately put me through a Streetwalker 101 test, and apparently I passed."
[02:50:45] <SirFinkus> I bet it involved a golf ball and a garden hose
[02:51:06] <lala> fascinating indeed
[02:51:27] <lala> :P
[02:51:44] <SpallsHurgenson> you love me long time for five dollah?
[02:51:49] <lala> i bought some rhum thinking it was good stuff
[02:51:55] <lala> but it is cooking one
[02:52:01] <lala> am still drinking it
[02:52:14] <cmn32480> apparently EF has moved to France...
[02:52:17] <Deucalion> Perhaps #soylent participation should require a Voigt-Kampff test... I'd suggest it but I fear I'd fail and be cast into Mordor.
[02:52:20] <lala> ef?
[02:52:33] <cmn32480> A fellow we know.
[02:52:37] <lala> ohhh
[02:52:56] <cmn32480> much of the group here has been on IRC together for the past few years
[02:53:04] <lala> oh i see :)
[02:53:09] <SpallsHurgenson> Deucalion: Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about... your mother.
[02:53:12] <lala> tight group?
[02:53:26] <SpallsHurgenson> what's IRC? Can I join?

[02:54:48] <Deucalion> SpallsHurgenson, no fair - UK resident - no guns allowed... and as they are illegal... none exist here, at all, in any way.
[02:55:08] <cmn32480> except for the armed guards around the palace
[02:55:11] <SpallsHurgenson> well, try this question then: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...

[02:56:41] <SpallsHurgenson> You look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?
[02:57:21] <lala> coz u are frying it for consumption
[02:57:28] <cmn32480> because you are in the Matrix, and there is no sand, tortoise or sun
[02:57:36] <lala> haha even better!
[02:58:48] <lala> cmn have u heard about the theory of the matrix?
[02:58:58] <cmn32480> any relation to the movies?

[03:00:22] <lala> ok, am gonna give u a link
[03:00:39] <lala> u keen?
[03:00:46] <Deucalion> SpallsHurgenson, what motivation would I have to flip the tortoise onto it's back? I wouldn't, I'd leave it alone to fair as it may or bring it along with me if I thought it had a better chance of survival that way. Your questions are biased :P
[03:01:13] * SpallsHurgenson makes note of Deucalion's answer

[03:01:54] <cmn32480> ask wher's the veal?
[03:02:04] <Deucalion> I smell the calf skin and enjoy that freshly tanned leather smell.
[03:02:08] <SpallsHurgenson> You’ve got a little boy. He shows you his butterfly collection plus the killing jar. What do you do?
[03:02:26] <cmn32480> point to the pretty ones
[03:02:28] <chromas> Take it and claim it as my own
[03:02:47] <cmn32480> ask if TheMightyBuzzard can use them as bait?
[03:02:50] <SpallsHurgenson> damn, I'm surrounded by replicants.
[03:02:50] <chromas> I also take his lollipop
[03:03:03] <lala> that little boy should stay away from norway refugee camps
[03:03:11] <Deucalion> Congratulate him on his inquisitivity into nature and reassure him that pinning one insect of billions will n no way harm the survival of the species he seeks to study. Next.
[03:03:16] <SpallsHurgenson> You're reading a magazine. You come across a full-page nude photo of a girl/guy. You show it to your husband/wife. He/She likes it so much, he/she hangs it on your bedroom wall. The girl/guy is lying on a bearskin rug.
[03:03:41] <lala> nah deucalion... u know the butterfly effect
[03:04:00] <cmn32480> wait... trick question
[03:04:08] <cmn32480> people don't take naked photos
[03:04:12] <Deucalion> Nudity is our natural state, what's to be concerned about there? The bear skin rug... under what conditions was the bear killed?
[03:04:26] <chromas> The bear wasn't killed; it's just nude now
[03:04:32] * SpallsHurgenson surreptiously starts dialing 1-800-blade-runner
[03:04:34] <lala> the bear used the rabbit to wipe his bum
[03:04:48] <SpallsHurgenson> You'’re watching television. Suddenly you realize there’s a wasp crawling on your arm.

[03:05:02] <chromas> The bear threw out the rug because activists threw blood on him for wearing fur
[03:05:11] <lala> hahaha
[03:05:14] <poutine> to kill the wasp, turn to page 22, to leave it be, turn to page 14
[03:05:16] <lala> lolol
[03:05:21] <Deucalion> Shoo it off and open the window so it can go outside again. Next.
[03:05:38] <SpallsHurgenson> You're watching a stage play - a banquet is in progress. The guests are enjoying an appetizer of raw oysters. The entree consists of boiled dog stuffed with rice. The raw oysters are less acceptable to you than a dish of boiled dog
[03:05:59] <poutine> you kids will never know how great choose your own adventure books were
[03:05:59] <lala> i once had to eat dog fat
[03:06:02] <lala> was gross
[03:06:21] <cmn32480> shell full of snot and boiled Fido for dinner
[03:06:24] <cmn32480> AWESOME!
[03:07:05] <lala> i'm a member of the Elvis death cult
[03:07:13] <Deucalion> SpallsHurgenson, why do you assume the oysters are less appetising to me than the boiled dog?
[03:07:30] <chromas> also, in what way was it a question?
[03:07:33] <SpallsHurgenson> It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?

[03:08:21] <cmn32480> ~confucius
[03:08:24] <exec> Confucius say… all men eat, but Fu Manchu.
[03:08:38] <Deucalion> You presume I have or wish to siplay emotions, or that any emotions I may display during this interrogation in anyway relate to my real feelings on such things. I think you make too many assumptions for this to be a valid test.
[03:08:52] <lala> It is not those who can inflict the most, but those that can suffer the most who will prevail
[03:09:10] <chromas> I thought ciri was for provoking emotional responses
[03:09:18] <SpallsHurgenson> An empathy test: capillary dilation of the so-called blush response, fluctuation of the pupil, involuntary dilation of the iris. We call it Voight-Kampff for short.
[03:09:42] <lala> seven of nine would detect such capillary dilation
[03:09:51] <cmn32480> ciri does provoke an emotional response... but not since being kik/banned
[03:10:13] <chromas> the correct answer is "Question too nerdy. NERRRRDDD!!"

[03:13:10] * SpallsHurgenson considers deus ex hr
[03:13:47] <Deucalion> I'm just grinding out the last parts of HL2.. seem to have spent the last couple of sessions in some urban setting dropping down through holes in floors.. kinda tedious, but I have that "must complete" thing going now.
[03:14:04] <cmn32480> it's interesting to say the least
[03:14:19] <cmn32480> the post episodes aren't abd
[03:14:29] <SpallsHurgenson> I still maintain hl2 was one of the most overrated games released in the last 20 years
[03:14:33] <cmn32480> but I think they are setting me up for a shitty cliffhanger taht will never be answered
[03:15:14] <cmn32480> as valve seems to have no want to finsih the story
[03:15:42] <SpallsHurgenson> why make games when people throw money at them for steam?
[03:15:42] <cmn32480> there was a big thread on reddit the other day about HL3 and the guy who wrote the original stories is retiring
[03:15:55] <cmn32480> precisely the point that was made in the thread
[03:16:24] <cmn32480> content production is not nearly as profitable as distribution
[03:16:38] <SpallsHurgenson> soon nobody will make games anymore; everyone will just develop digtal storefronts :)
[03:16:41] <Deucalion> SpallsHurgenson, I wouldn't mind it if every section was not so stupidly over extended to pad things out for hours. It was fun to use the glandy thing to get the beach crab thingamys to do my bidding. I will now promptly be shot by real gamers for not bothering to recall what any of these fictional beasties are called :D
[03:17:00] <cmn32480> Antlions
[03:17:11] <Deucalion> that's the one
[03:17:18] <cmn32480> i refere to it as the thing in weapon 6
[03:17:39] GravyCheeseFries is now known as HL3-Confirmed
[03:17:56] <cmn32480> yer bot is now a liar AND gross
[03:18:01] <SpallsHurgenson> the original HL was superior to the sequel; even today I find it far more enjoyable, dated graphics and all
[03:18:13] <Deucalion> Yeh - I just chucked one at some guys with guns in the later urban scene by mistake instead of a grenade... that was not particularly useful :D
[03:19:47] <Deucalion> Anyways, I see a switch I obviously have to activate ahead of me to get any further, so activate it I will... no doubt I am about to transition into some tenuously linked scenario. ~shrug~
[03:20:04] <cmn32480> or a shitton of Combine soldiers
[03:20:37] <SpallsHurgenson> admittedly, episode 2 was sorta fun (episode 1 was really just "more of the same")
[03:20:41] <chromas> they're just trying to harvest you
[03:21:07] <cmn32480> but I did enjoy the fact that the chick's gun never ran out of bullets
[03:21:22] <chromas> happens 4 days out of the month
[03:21:35] <cmn32480> lol
[03:22:48] <Deucalion> just did that bit in the plaza... run about killing lots of combine shooters while the tech taps on the console by the fountain for a long time to bring down some shield on a power device that needs shooting with the grav gun - why it needs the grav gun to shoot it rather than just anyone hit it with a rocket is not explained. All very tenuous. Oh well.. run n gun it is
[03:24:11] <cmn32480> it is the energy field

[03:41:15] <cmn32480> a lot lately!

[03:45:46] <cmn32480> i thoguht you were gonna say you remembered playing wiht your barber's pole
[03:49:09] <Deucalion> why would you think that? Projecting much?

[03:51:29] <SpallsHurgenson> does it mean I get to shoot you? :)
[03:53:21] <Deucalion> No, I make some speech in the rain and die a natural death and you realise your inquest was entirely futile and that you may in fact be a replicant yourself. Or something. Depending what you read into it and whether you are reading the book or watching the various cuts of the film. ~shrug~

[13:05:43] -!- JamesNZ has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[13:10:44] <nick> arrrr
[13:11:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> afternoon, nick
[13:11:41] <nick> it sure is
[13:13:38] <nick> two of the day jobs down for now, should start on one of the others, but only a couple hours before i have to drive back to the city
[13:14:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> nothing for it but to hold an impromptu company meeting down the pub
[13:15:29] <nick> probably not a good idea to go down the pub before driving
[13:16:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, fair point.
[13:16:29] <nick> what's the 'merican version of 'poets day'? (piss off early, tomorrow's saturday)
[13:17:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't think we have anything so brilliant. closest is tgif.
[13:18:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> i hereby annex the phrase though.
[13:18:35] * TheMightyBuzzard drags his tired ass outside for a smoke
[13:18:38] <nick> i thought 'liberate' was the american term for annex
[13:19:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> nick: this: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com
[13:20:08] <nick> hah
[13:20:09] <nick> i like that
[13:20:51] <nick> can keep the vodka, but the sentiment is there
[13:21:25] <AndyTheAbsurd> there's also "Oh look, it's beer-thirty; let's head for the bar"
[13:22:28] <nick> i do miss the pint or two after work
[13:23:01] <nick> have not been to pub for a while, excluding when my parents are in town, but as a result that doesn't count
[13:25:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, liberate's when we go in, fuck shit up, and just leave.
[13:25:35] <nick> need to find an off-licence that sells young's special and ramrod in bottles
[13:26:12] <nick> psh, when has 'merica 'just left' anywhere?
[13:26:32] * TheMightyBuzzard points at Iraq
[13:27:07] <nick> how many thousand american 'contractors' 'military advisors' were left behind after the exit?
[13:27:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> contractors are free to do as they like. they ain't official. and advisors certainly didn't manage to do anything significant or we wouldn't have ISIS.
[13:28:46] <nick> im not saying anything about their effectiveness
[13:29:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> proper procedure would be the "you break it, you bought it" approach we took with germany and japan. plant a base and make sure shit don't fall further to pieces.
[13:29:38] <nick> well thats an interesting perspective on foreign policy
[13:30:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> actions got consequences. gotta take responsibility for them.
[13:31:14] <nick> those consequences were for the most part rather favourable though, for foreign and domestic policy, military reach and for industry
[13:31:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> for germany/japan you mean?
[13:31:54] <nick> yeha
[13:31:55] <nick> yeah
[13:32:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> exactly, because we stayed and enforced peace/stability.
[13:32:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> though really we ought to have left by now. job's more than done.
[13:33:27] <nick> yeah, i'd agree there
[13:34:15] <nick> it was not a bad thing in the couple of decades after ww2, but to use a tired phrase, america took the 'world police' thing a bit too far
[13:34:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> i expect we'll leave when we get officially asked by the govts and just enjoy the perks of foreign bases until.
[13:34:47] <nick> i think diplomacy says that's not something you can ask for
[13:35:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> honestly, i think they enjoy the money having a base brings. plus the built-in protection of the strongest military on the planet.
[13:35:55] <cmn32480> ^^^^^ TRUTH
[13:35:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean some folks in either nation complain but nothing official yet.
[13:36:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> i spect we'd leave if asked, though there'd be somewhat strained relations.
[13:36:35] <nick> well, i'd assume the public are not so much fans, but the political establishment are a bit more tuned in to the nuances of it
[13:36:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[13:37:21] <nick> as in, if you try and go populist by asking the bases to close, suddenly the global financial institutions will not look on you so favourably
[13:37:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> japanese being the racists they are tend to be less welcoming overall than the germans from what i hear at least.
[13:37:34] <nick> Japan certainly can't afford to rock that boat
[13:38:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, japan really needs a serious military before giving us the boot or they're soon to be chinese.
[13:41:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, it's tough to believe trump's actually going to be president unless he starts raping ten year old boys.
[13:41:22] <cmn32480> japan CANT have a serious military
[13:41:29] <cmn32480> that was part of the treaty after WWII
[13:41:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, yep. things change though.
[13:41:44] <cmn32480> they are allowed a highly regulated defensive military only
[13:41:58] <cmn32480> until that treaty gets rewritten.....
[13:42:21] <cmn32480> but it woudl be an interesting case study to see how they fit out a brand spanking new army
[13:42:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> i spect part of asking us to leave would be a renegotiation of that.
[13:42:34] -!- nick has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
[13:42:41] * cmn32480 thinks it woudl have to be
[13:43:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> and yeah, i'd kinda dig seeing what they came up with.
[13:43:26] <cmn32480> what first world nation has done that in the alst few hundred years?
[13:43:45] <cmn32480> after the American revolution, I can't think of any
[13:43:56] <cmn32480> but I'm nto all that smrt
[13:44:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> is japan first world? not sure if they count as 1st or 2nd.
[13:44:14] <cmn32480> first
[13:44:22] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[13:44:25] <cmn32480> 2nd world is Old Siviet Bloc
[13:44:32] <cmn32480> [I think
[13:44:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[13:44:59] <cmn32480> http://www.nationsonline.org
[13:45:01] <HL3-Confirmed> ^ 03First, Second, and Third World - Nations Online Project
[13:45:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> guess they'd have to be first since we were basically running the place in the 50s.
[13:45:20] <cmn32480> with General MacArthur as king
[13:45:49] <cmn32480> After World War II the world split into two large geopolitical blocs and spheres of influence with contrary views on government and the politically correct society:
[13:45:49] <cmn32480> 1 - The bloc of democratic-industrial countries within the American influence sphere, the "First World".
[13:45:49] <cmn32480> 2 - The Eastern bloc of the communist-socialist states, the "Second World".
[13:45:49] <cmn32480> 3 - The remaining three-quarters of the world's population, states not aligned with either bloc were regarded as the "Third World."
[13:45:49] <cmn32480> 4 - The term "Fourth World", coined in the early 1970s by Shuswap Chief George Manuel, refers to widely unknown nations (cultural entities) of indigenous peoples, "First Nations" living within or across national state boundaries.
[13:46:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> what gets me chuckling is how we wrote puritanical "no showing your junk in media" into their constitution
[13:46:25] <cmn32480> so all their porn is pixelated
[13:46:33] <cmn32480> so I hear
[13:46:42] <cmn32480> I woudln't knwo from personal experience
[13:46:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> which they make up for by making porn of extremely freaky things that don't have to be.
[13:47:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> and putting buttholes on cartoon cats.
[13:47:30] <cmn32480> it was a rather one sided treaty
[13:47:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> such as it should be when you proper win a war.
[13:49:17] <cmn32480> msotly
[13:50:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> m'kay, 3/4 of a cup of coffee to go and i'm gonna hop off the computer and on the xbox
[13:50:58] <cmn32480> good luck sir
[13:51:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'a 20oz mug though so i'm here a bit yet.
[13:52:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, right, forgot a status update on the naked pixels quest of yesterday. game bloody crashed after the loading please wait screen despite following every suggestion google had.
[13:52:47] <cmn32480> booooO!
[13:52:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> really glad i didn't pay for the pc version
[13:53:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> means i gotta wait until they make good on their promise to allow mods on consoles
[13:54:12] <cmn32480> you'd think they woudl ahve allowed that a long time ago
[13:55:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> difficult to do on a locked down platform. they'd have to make an official repo and build mod management into the game client.
[13:56:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> which means they're gonna be playing gatekeeper on the mods most likely.
[13:56:46] <cmn32480> but once they allow mods... it opens up a whole nasty batch of things like the fact that the consoles have USB ports that can be used to side load them
[13:57:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> possibly. you'd need a file manager or have side-loading built in though.
[14:03:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> aright, that's that cup of coffee. off to shoot synths.

[17:27:15] <cmn32480> pair of hoodies
[17:27:34] <cmn32480> I am thinking I will give one to the wife so she willstop stealing ym other hoodies
[17:27:55] <Runaway1956> You don't need no hoodie - give 'em both to the wife
[17:28:06] <cmn32480> but I want one
[17:28:08] <Runaway1956> They'll probably look better on her anyway.
[17:28:31] <cmn32480> they'll look best crumpled on the floor after I take it off her
[17:28:49] <Runaway1956> That goes without saying
[17:30:23] <cmn32480> well.. I saiad it anyway!
