[21:47:09] <Gravis> "Karma Bresponsibility (modifier assigned to posts where the user has good karma)"
[21:47:29] <Gravis> then lower "No Karma Bresponsibility"
[21:47:45] <Gravis> i don't think it's a typo
[21:47:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> someone hath fucked with your computer. it's not in our source nor on those pages.
[21:48:34] <Gravis> oh fuck... i think it's my word replace plugin gone awry
[21:48:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> that shoulda been Karma Bonus
[21:50:43] <Gravis> hmm... it must be used on The Register then because that's what the word replacement plugin was for. (sadly it can't be used only on specific domains)
[21:52:21] <Gravis> ooooh. i was replacing "onus" with "responsibility" and it flagged bonus
[21:57:25] <Gravis> hmm... i suppose "bresponsibility" shall now mean "bonus" ;)
[21:59:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, just so long as it's not something i have to fix. i believe i shall have myself a bresponsibility nap now.

[23:01:42] <Subsentient> I'm losing all emotional investment in the election.
[23:02:21] <Subsentient> I hope for Bernie so bad, because whether or not he's a socialist (I am a socialist), he's the only one who isn't hopelessly corrupt.
[23:02:30] <Subsentient> Fuck Clinton.
[23:02:46] <Subsentient> No, scratch that. Clinton probably has a stank puss.
[23:03:27] <Subsentient> I'm just losing hope.
[23:03:46] <Subsentient> Realism is a bitch. It's the truth, but the truth is often horrible.
[23:04:05] <Subsentient> I want to reach up my own asshole and rip my brainstem out through it.
[23:07:22] <mechanicjay> Subsentient: I'm with you. Lots at stake which tons of people just don't seem to understand (or care).
[23:08:06] <Subsentient> mechanicjay: Some days I want to take an eggbeater to my brain and drink my skull's contents from a coffee mug.
[23:09:24] <Subsentient> mechanicjay: I suppose lowering expectations, as always, is a good way to avert disappointment.
[23:09:26] <mechanicjay> Subsentient: I've not gotten to that point yet, but I have been sick to my stomach all day after reading the Hillary Hawk article in the NYT today. I got a glimpse of the future and I want to week for us.
[23:09:33] <mechanicjay> s/week/weep/g
[23:09:35] <exec> <mechanicjay> Subsentient: I've not gotten to that point yet, but I have been sick to my stomach all day after reading the Hillary Hawk article in the NYT today. I got a glimpse of the future and I want to weep for us.
[23:10:53] <Subsentient> It should be illegal to vote without knowing all candidate's history and policies.
[23:11:48] <mechanicjay> It should be illegal to lie to the electorate about your intentions too -- but that's like some sort of fantasy, you know for people to be straight with each other.
[23:12:19] <Subsentient> I value candor intensely, and that's a good example as to why.
[23:12:45] <chromas> homophobe
[23:12:50] <chromas> we should all be gay with each other
[23:13:38] * chromas gets back into the pile
[23:13:51] <mechanicjay> chromas++
[23:13:51] <Bender> karma - chromas: 166
[23:14:25] <mechanicjay> Unfortunately, among a certain portion of the population, expecting honesty and candor is considered naive.
[23:14:51] <Subsentient> Don't expect it, hope for it.
[23:15:14] <Subsentient> I have a long history of explicitly telling people to expect candor from me. I don't beat around the bush, and it's more effective if people know this.
[23:15:15] <chromas> I thought Obama was the Hope guy
[23:15:32] <Subsentient> False hope, yeah.
[23:15:40] <Subsentient> Can't blame him too much, but yeah.
[23:15:57] <chromas> You know, some women love it when yo beat around their bush
[23:16:03] <chromas> or, you know, some guys
[23:16:10] <mechanicjay> Honestly though, there is a cultural sea-change coming. Shit on millenials all you want, by and large they are a group of people who believe in open and honest communication -- I actually have some hope for the future, but not for like another 20 years. The interveneing 20 years might suck.
[23:16:34] * chromas shits on feminists
[23:17:08] <Subsentient> I see a horrifying global surveillance pseudo-state with a non-free press on the horizon.
[23:17:13] <Subsentient> I hope to god I'm wrong
[23:17:16] <mechanicjay> Lots can be said about Obama and his message of Hope -- I don't have to go into it now, but he fucked up a few non-insubstantial ways with the enthusiasic base that swept him into office.
[23:17:24] <mechanicjay> Subsentient: me too.
[23:18:01] <mechanicjay> okay, gotta run to the In-laws for dinner. Subsentient, I'll catch up with you later on this stuff -- I could go on for hours.
[23:18:09] <Subsentient> mechanicjay: Same. :^)
[23:18:11] <Subsentient> take care, good luck
[23:18:32] <chromas> what are the chances you guys are both having in-laws for dinner on the same day
