[01:16:02] <Gravis> it's confusing when several people agree with your comment in a reply but nobody mods the original comment up or down.

[01:21:00] <takyon> we got better things to do with our mod points, Gravis
[01:21:07] <takyon> like mod down trolls
[01:29:03] <Gravis> takyon: hardly. all you did was respond saying another story on opioids may be in the future and got modded up. it's weird. https://soylentnews.org

[01:29:43] <takyon> well, I didn't ask for the upmod
[01:30:01] <takyon> I did find it funny though
[01:30:19] <takyon> it's about as informative as saying, "hey, check the submissions list!"
[01:31:03] <Gravis> takyon: i know you didnt' ask for it, i just think it's weird
[01:31:29] <takyon> some people use mod points on journal entry comments
[01:31:42] <Gravis> so saving mods for trolls doesn't seem to be the issue
[01:32:58] <Gravis> i can only figure that people think my comment is obvious or something
[01:32:58] <takyon> you posted your comment about 4 hours before mod points refresh, 20 hours after they were handed out. they could have been spent
[01:33:14] <takyon> sometimes I blow my mod wad really fast
[01:33:19] <Gravis> lol
[01:33:36] <Gravis> ok that makes some sense
[01:34:51] <takyon> I have spent 1,857 mod points
[01:36:58] <Gravis> hmm... so not everyone read every single day, so what if instead of getting mod points every day that could be used on anything, you got mod points that could be applied to anything within two days of getting them but they were retained
[01:37:45] <Gravis> so if you don't use your mod points for a week, you don't lose the mod points, they are held and applicable within two days of the date they were issued
[01:38:16] <Gravis> obviously, when the conversation locks, the mod points are invalidated
[01:38:31] <takyon> we've had threads where changes to the mod point system were discussed, and there have been lots of ideas
[01:39:15] <Gravis> takyon: naturally, you modded all the comments down. :P
[01:39:32] <takyon> I could easily use more than 5 a day, as you can tell. I also hit up against 50 karma basically forever, with the extra karma being lost to me. If they could be spent to get more mod points or something that would be ideal
[01:45:02] <Gravis> i still think my idea of using mod points to edit posted comments is good idea
[01:45:32] <takyon> well, you're half right
[01:45:34] <Runaway1956> Lemme get this straight: State department fails to do it's own job, so the FBI takes on the job, and fails - so now the State department attempts to do the job it should have done six years ago.

[02:24:01] <Runaway1956> Funny, I was just looking at ScienceDaily RSS -
[02:24:02] <Bytram> this not a good bot day, it seems.

[02:24:19] <Bytram> Runaway1956: you are aware we have an #rss-bot channel, right?
[02:24:22] <Runaway1956> AIDS vaccine on the horizon, maybe?
[02:24:27] <Bytram> yep, I saw that
[02:24:49] <takyon> sciencedaily is better than phys.org because they link to the news source at university websites as well as the scientific paper
[02:24:50] <Bytram> also some thoughts that it might help against cancer, too, IIRC.
[02:24:59] <takyon> easier to deal with
[02:25:30] <Bytram> that's for sure. I've never figured out a simple way to go from phys.org to whatever they are quoting from.
[02:25:38] <takyon> are we talking about the super RNA vaccine?

[02:26:26] <Wesley> ^ 03SN article:  Programmable RNA Vaccines 04(6 comments)
[02:26:27] <Runaway1956> bytram - sometimes, you just copy/paste a block of text from the story into Google, and *SOMETIMES* you get a hit
[02:26:53] <Runaway1956> often enough, it's just an exercise in futility
[02:26:54] <takyon> actually that usually works. if it doesn't then it might be the rare phys.org exclusive stories, which do exist
[02:27:01] <Bytram> I have done that, but was hoping for something just a mite bit more deterministic than copy, click, and pray
[02:28:12] <Runaway1956> Hey, the rss-bot channel looks alright . . .
[02:28:21] <Runaway1956> thanks for that takyon
[02:28:34] <takyon> what did I do

[03:34:16] <takyon> I opened that NPR station concurrently and they are not interrupting programming yet
[03:34:20] <takyon> wtf are they even doing
[03:34:47] <takyon> should we put a breaking news story up?
[03:34:57] <SirFinkus> idk, is it really SN shit?
[03:35:18] <SirFinkus> it's a big story, but I'm a bit against running it
[03:35:23] <takyon> well
[03:35:29] <SirFinkus> just gonna stir up a shitstorm
[03:35:29] <takyon> we had the other story earlier today
[03:35:32] <takyon> true
[03:35:44] <Bytram> I'm of two minds
[03:36:04] <Bytram> it *is* news that matters; and it *is* about people, so there's that
[03:36:21] <Bytram> then again, it looks like cops-in-gunfights is the new mainstream media hot topic
[03:36:37] <SirFinkus> personally, I think it doesn't quite reach the notoriety required to pull it in to sn unless there's a tech angle
[03:36:38] <Bytram> so every time there's something like this happening, it'll get press coverage
[03:36:50] <SirFinkus> lol cops to "protect the protesters"
[03:36:53] <SirFinkus> that's a good one
[03:37:20] <Bytram> so, my thoughts are that we'll prolly see one of these showing up pretty much every day for the next or two
[03:37:31] <Bytram> do we run all of them?
[03:37:32] <takyon> what, snipings?
[03:37:46] <SirFinkus> the guy(s) who shot the cops are scumbags, but "protecting the protestors" is bullshit
[03:37:48] <takyon> it's happening!
[03:38:01] <takyon> monitoring the protestors
[03:38:03] <Bytram> much like we decided on the political landscape, we really don't want to air every blow-by-blow of the primaries,
[03:38:16] <takyon> no bullet-by-bullet coverage? heh
[03:38:29] <Bytram> we mightbe best served to an occasional story if there is something tech related
[03:38:56] <Bytram> otherwise, I'd suggest we keep our focus on our more 'usual' fare.
[03:39:07] <Bytram> or...
[03:39:08] <SirFinkus> it may sound cynical, but I'd say no publish unless there's a tech angle
[03:39:19] <SirFinkus> at least let the dust settle
[03:39:50] <Bytram> just have a VERY short story in the Intro copy field, (maybe a sentence or two) and then put the rest of the sotry in the extended copy?
[03:40:10] <SirFinkus> I'd say no
[03:40:17] <SirFinkus> length of the story doesn't matter
[03:40:26] <SirFinkus> it'll be a shitstorm
[03:40:30] <takyon> "waving their finger"
[03:40:40] <Bytram> just offering an idea for consideration... no vested interest one way or another.
[03:40:49] <takyon> "there was negative talking about the march"
[03:40:52] <SirFinkus> I kind of go to SN to escape that shit to an extent
[03:40:54] <takyon> *no
[03:41:06] <Bytram> I'd say let it pass.
[03:41:06] <SirFinkus> and I think a lot of other people might too
[03:41:08] <takyon> feed just cut off
[03:41:15] <SirFinkus> just my gut feelings
[03:42:55] <takyon> BBC is talking about it, not the Dallas NPR station lol
[03:43:10] <takyon> BBC as heard on Houston station
[03:43:24] <takyon> I'm taking this opportunity to grab radio station URLs for streaming
[03:44:49] <Bytram> otoh, if there's an incident with, say, 100 people killed... I might think differently about running the story.
[03:45:34] <takyon> Trump might be speaking in 15 minutes
[03:45:38] <takyon> lemme confirm that
[03:46:02] <SirFinkus> yeah, certainly
[03:46:11] <SirFinkus> I mean, 9/11? run that shit
[03:46:34] <Bytram> yep, doesn't making sure that I wasn't inadvertantly boxing myself into a corner

[05:29:03] <Gravis> i think AMD has a real opportunity to kick some ass in the server market and they just chopped their balls off by endlessly delaying the ARM chip and now it's an x86+ARM chip or some bullshit. arg

[05:29:44] <chromas> more shots fire?
[05:29:46] <chromas> +d
[05:30:10] <takyon> they switched the release dates of the ARM chip and Zen x86

[05:30:35] <takyon> this story I just closed mentions a 32-core server chip
[05:30:45] <chromas> boioioioioing
[05:30:51] <takyon> which I guess is x86
[05:31:47] <takyon> Zen could save AMD.
[05:32:36] <takyon> If they release 8 core, 16 thread Zen desktop chips at a reasonable price, with the massively improved IPC and whatnot, it could actually be competitive with Intel on some fronts, even with enthusiasts
[05:33:26] <Gravis> takyon: screw that, i need 64 threads. you think this kernel is just gonna compile itself?
[05:33:36] <takyon> it could beat Intel quad-core i7s on multithreaded, while doing ok on single-threaded
[05:33:59] <takyon> and cheaper. and massively cheaper than Intel's 6- and 8-core Extreme chips
[05:34:46] <Gravis> too bad it comes with all the backdoor shit like intel's chips
[05:34:53] <takyon> the fact that i'd have to wait for 2017 for Zen laptop chips is a blow... maybe I should hold out even longer for Zen+
[05:35:33] <takyon> at this point you need to divide your computing into a large pile of computers you don't trust, and the small or non-existent pile you trust
[05:35:37] <Gravis> takyon: fuck that, just make your own laptop. :P
[05:35:42] <takyon> AMD+Intel+whatever can go in the first pile
[05:36:37] <Gravis> *sigh* the RISC V groups are futzing around and not making something people could actually use.
[05:37:39] <Gravis> current best option is POWER8 chips
[05:38:07] <Gravis> but getting it will cost you dearly
[05:38:09] <takyon> those are what, $2000 at cheapest?

[13:29:25] <weeds> What's next?
[13:31:10] <boru> MEE, hopefully.
[13:35:02] <weeds> ?
[13:36:16] <boru> A mass extinction event.
[13:39:51] <Runaway1956> Holy shit guys - Baton Rouge, Minneapolis, and now Dallas . . . we're in for a long hot fucking summer in the US.
[13:40:35] <weeds> Seems we are headed for that one way or another.
[13:41:24] <Runaway1956> Yeah, but it won't be just the sun making this a hot one. What next, Hotlanta?
[13:41:59] <weeds> Do you think this will inspre more shooters to shoot police or just random "white people"?
[13:43:35] <Runaway1956> I don't know, weed. I don't travel these days, I don't have a feel for things like I once did. But - I think it's more aimed at the cops, than at white people in general.
[13:43:36] <weeds> Obama said, "Blue lives matter, all lives matter." That's going to really piss off the Back Lives Matter people!
[13:43:53] <Runaway1956> Of course, a white guy being an asshole can certainly get his share of hate and violence.
[13:44:13] <Runaway1956> O'Bummer said that?
[13:44:51] <FatPhil> it might push those who might make good cops away from such a career, thus leaving a higher bad cop density
[13:45:38] <Runaway1956> The good cop / bad cop ratio probably isn't really bad - the problem is the cops are initiated into a fraternity, where they all watch out for each other
[13:45:55] <Runaway1956> So, one cop lies, and ten cops swear to his veracity
[13:46:00] <Runaway1956> Just like any other gang
[13:46:19] <FatPhil> indeed. that needs to be rooted out.
[13:46:38] <FatPhil> the whole legal system seems to have that problem
[13:48:23] <Runaway1956> Got the headline now - black and blue lives matter, but regular white people? Hmmmmm . . . . . no mention of Asians, Latinos, Native Americans - I guess he's got Kenyans covered, but no Europeans.
[13:48:42] <weeds> Yes, Obama did say that and the shooter said he wanted to kill white people, especially cops.
[13:49:04] <chromas> it's not racis 'cause they're oppresseded
[13:49:17] <weeds> The clip I heard this AM included "all lives matter"
[13:49:29] <chromas> now that's racist
[13:49:50] <Runaway1956> Now what pisses me off about the cops, as much as anything is, these dead cops will be held forward as heros - but at least ten times as many truck drivers were killed yesterday, and they are just chumps
[13:50:15] <takyon> they are
[13:50:21] <boru> The same goes for civial deaths though, as well.
[13:50:23] <takyon> probably didn't deserve to get their CDLs
[13:50:32] <weeds> Is there really an equvalency there?
[13:50:34] <Runaway1956> Fishermen, loggers, construction workers, all the people who die in the line of duty, are just chumps, no heros among them
[13:50:39] * chromas puts on uniform for instant heroism and bravery
[13:50:46] * takyon kills chromas
[13:50:54] <chromas> victory++
[13:50:54] <Bender> karma - victory: 1
[13:51:04] <Runaway1956> Yes, there is an equivalency, weeds - there are many jobs more dangerous than being a cop
[13:51:06] <weeds> Chromas is hero!
[13:51:22] <Runaway1956> commercial fisherman almost always ranks as "THE MOST DANGEROUS", year after year
[13:51:39] <takyon> should have worked on a fish farm
[13:51:41] <takyon> chumps
[13:51:55] <Runaway1956> Chromas has always been my hero - he commands time to stand still, and time stands still.
[13:51:59] <weeds> I don't think just being dangerous is the key
[13:52:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, heroes help people. fishermen catch fish. there's your difference.
[13:52:03] <takyon> so is the dallas bomb just a fake, or did they really find something?
[13:52:17] <takyon> oh
[13:52:24] <takyon> dude just say the bomb killed the guy
[13:52:25] <Runaway1956> Fishermen feed people - cops arrest people
[13:52:28] <boru> Fishermen feed people, which is surely helpful, no?
[13:52:44] <weeds> I haven't seen any news on the bomb yet. Just that there was a threat.
[13:52:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, nobody's gonna starve if they don't catch fish. they'll just eat a burger.
[13:52:56] <Runaway1956> Dallas bomb - I heard the shooter made threats, haven't seen anything to justify them
[13:52:57] <chromas> was it on the internet?
[13:53:00] <takyon> the one guy who died apparently didn't die from police gunfire, but bomb detonation
[13:53:00] <boru> Anyway, USA seems to have gone mental, if the news is anything to go by. I'm glad I decided not to move there, in the end.
[13:53:03] <chromas> internet threats are credible
[13:53:12] <takyon> ok, you fucks
[13:53:16] <takyon> do we run the Dallas story?
[13:53:21] <takyon> I think 2 people subbed it so far
[13:53:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> sure, why not
[13:53:37] <boru> Not enough sensationalist news outlets carrying it?
[13:53:38] <chromas> yeah, we're always running low anyhow
[13:53:42] <Runaway1956> Of course - run the story - you may want to editorialize, merge, and clean it up - or not
[13:53:57] <takyon> we have 45 subs
[13:54:01] <weeds> Judging from this AM's conversation, I'd say there is interest in the community.

[13:56:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> if we could get five of em to merge it'd be the most awesome story in the universe
[13:56:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> someone-set-us-up
[13:56:41] <takyon> if we had 5 of them to merge I could blame the submitters and get heat taken off of me for posting politics
[13:56:56] <takyon> maybe I'll put blue-lives-matter. That would really stir things up
[13:57:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, we posted both police shootings, didn't we?
[13:57:10] <chromas> TheMightyBuzzard: s/(us)(up)/\2\1/
[13:57:14] <Runaway1956> that was the shooter's line - "Set us up the bomb!"
[13:57:14] <boru> Is there a socio-political-crap story category, even?
[13:57:15] <chromas> bastard
[13:57:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't cover one angle of the story and not the other
[13:57:23] <takyon> yeaaaaaah but we don't want to make a habit of it
[13:57:38] <takyon> honestly that is the best justification... yesterday's story needs this one to complete it
[13:57:45] <Runaway1956> Good habits are hard to break, takyon ????

[14:39:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> only beef i got is calling them noobasses snipers. having a rifle and a good firing position does not a sniper make.
[14:39:15] <Runaway1956> Really, that was appropos of nothing - it was lurking on the sidebar on Google
[14:39:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> but it's part of a quote so meh
[14:39:56] <Runaway1956> In America, anyone who can hit a man-sized target at 100 yards is considered a "sniper"
[14:41:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> not in the military. they expect your ass to hit targets at 300M just to qualify at basic ability with your rifle.
[14:41:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> though the 300M targets do stay up longer than the closer ones. a whole 7 seconds.
[14:41:53] <takyon> they got a high kill count, they avoided killing civilians, they achieved their objectives
[14:42:01] <takyon> they might be noobs, but they got the job done
[14:42:22] <Runaway1956> They used to expect that TMB - I don't know about today's soldiers - special snowlflakes may get 30 yard ranges today
[14:42:37] <chromas> the trick was to pretend they're electric guitars
[14:42:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, but proper snipers coulda done it from half a mile away or better.
[14:43:26] <takyon> but with the buildings, you might hit less targets
[14:43:32] <takyon> might need to be closer to get more cops
[14:43:41] <takyon> since they are spread out
[14:43:45] <takyon> geddit?
[14:43:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> the record's 1.54 miles by a brit but even average snipers can bust a cap in someone from .5.
[14:44:15] * Runaway1956 is a mere marksman
[14:44:43] <Runaway1956> Best shot I EVER made was under 500 yards.
[14:44:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, ditto. like 30/40 targets.
[14:44:57] * chromas is a real american; stirs coffee with revolver, spins it on finger; burns face with sprinkles
[14:45:39] <Runaway1956> I suspect Chromas makes 500 yard shots with a revolver - what with his command of time and all . . . .
[14:45:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> well i've made shots at a thousand meters or so but it was with a belt-fed weapon and tracers every 10th round.
[14:46:17] <Runaway1956> They never let me play with the big stuff.
[14:46:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> and i probably missed more than i hit.
[14:46:21] <chromas> I thought tracers went at the end so I know when to push square to reload

[14:51:23] * Runaway1956 settles for $100 drives
[14:51:49] <takyon> TheMightyBuzzard: 2 TB drives will probably become cost effective soon. 1 TB have certainly hit some nice prices. 4 TB is the outlier for now, but available to those who need it.
[14:52:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't consider em reasonable until they're sub-100

[22:18:44] <Dildus> That ain't my cup of tea. I don't know a goddamn thing about Brit politics.
[22:19:01] <Dildus> I'll wait until others jump in and slam one with a snide remark.
[22:19:06] <takyon> just look at the list of related articles
[22:19:19] <takyon> like, glance at it
[22:19:53] <Dildus> Yes, it's neat.
[22:21:04] <Dildus> But those are the Limeys' turf.
[22:21:27] <Dildus> They don't like ignorant Yanks stickin' their noses into Brit business.
[22:21:46] <takyon> but we're so good at it
[22:21:48] <Dildus> The best I'd have to offer is "UKIP 4 Lyfe"
[22:22:05] <Dildus> or "Purge the Pakis"
[22:22:17] <takyon> Farage is Shrek, and he got the EU out of his swamp
[22:22:55] <Dildus> If the Brits purge the scum, then they can take 1 step backward, and 2 steps forward.
[22:23:07] <Dildus> Then...they can become the 51st state. Bahahah
[22:23:44] <takyon> I'll take Scotland

[22:25:05] <takyon> lel
[22:25:53] <takyon> baaa
[22:30:29] <Dildus> Dat Chilcot report 'doe
[22:30:35] <Dildus> Pretty embarassing.
[22:30:53] <Dildus> US needs to have one of our own that names names and holds them accountable.
[22:31:12] <takyon> we already did that
[22:31:18] <Dildus> And we need to send those fuckers to the Hague so they can keep Slobodan company.
[22:31:53] <takyon> Frontline, other news outlets broke the story of how the Iraq War happened ages ago. We know all the tyrants that made it happen. They've moved on to retirement or better jobs
[22:32:25] <Dildus> If the Jews can round up 90 year-old Nazis and prosecute them now, then we could do the same.
[22:32:30] <Dildus> Just a matter of political will.
[22:32:45] <takyon> Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Tenet, Wolfowitz, Powell, etc.
[22:33:07] <Dildus> Goldberg, Sheckelstein, Weissman, Levy,
[22:33:32] <takyon> The Bush admin. lost a lot of emails. Could have contained most of the damning evidence
[22:33:53] <takyon> other parts are probably classified until 2069 or some shit, well after Bush and co. kick the bucket
[22:34:08] <Dildus> Yeah, agreed on that.
[22:34:18] <Dildus> I pray to Jesus Christ that somebody has them, though, and leaks them.
[22:34:49] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Theresa May: UK's Next Prime Minister? - http://sylnt.us - mother-may-i
[22:34:53] <Dildus> I was pretty dissapointed in Assange's assertion that he had what it took to indict Hillary. Instead we got the opposite.
[22:34:59] <Dildus> That was a willbreaker.
[22:35:11] <takyon> I don't think Assange is done with Hillary
[22:35:14] <takyon> but there's no way to know
[22:35:37] <takyon> the WikiLeaks/Assange brand has been known to cry wolf or pick the wrong timing for releases
[22:36:21] <takyon> I've barely glanced at those Iraq-Hillary emails they released, but it seems there is no smoking gun
[22:36:55] <takyon> I can only wonder when the "perfect time" is going to be. The convention? After Bernie concedes? Before Bernie concedes (this Monday)? The day before Election Day?
[22:36:59] <takyon> just fucking do it
[22:37:18] <takyon> to clarify, Bernie concedes on Tuesday, Monday being the day before
[22:37:19] <Dildus> Everytthing they've released is pretty shit, it might embarass the secretary of the son of the sultan of Oman for a year or two, but that's all they got.
[22:37:50] <Dildus> Or allude to Hillary's dyking out with Huma bahahah.
[22:38:06] <takyon> I'll give Assange until October to put up or shut up. But it's not looking great
[22:38:23] <takyon> about the most exciting thing Assange has released recently are pictures of his kitten in the embassy
[22:38:59] <takyon> being the showman he is, he gave the kitten a Twitter account where he posts dank cat-surveillance memes
[22:39:18] <Dildus> I'm really surprised that England hasn't straight-up raided the embassy yet.
[22:39:40] <Dildus> I mean, it's fucking Ecuador? What are they gonna do, chuck a burrito at England?
[22:39:50] <takyon> that's what gives me hope for Assange
[22:40:20] <takyon> who else would seek refuge in Ecuadorean embassy, get it, and waste millions of taxpayer dollars as he bites his thumb at them and continues his outreach
[22:40:26] <takyon> it was a good and fun move
[22:40:46] <takyon> some of the rape related charges expired, but he is going to be left with the UK one
[22:41:01] <takyon> just hilarious
[22:41:15] <Dildus> My only hope is that they're not taking him out because of THE INSURANCE.
[22:41:27] <takyon> oh right, I mentioned that in the last Wikileaks story I posted
[22:41:36] <takyon> a what, 80 GB insurance file, presumably related to Hillary
[22:42:03] <takyon> but we have seen about 4 insurance files and none have been opened...... if the contents are that good, why not start releasing some
[22:42:30] <takyon> These insurance files are eventually going to be opened once quantum computers scale up. Did you see the Google Chrome post-quantum encryption story?
[22:42:47] <takyon> Google is already planning for a future of fucked RSA and other dead crypto
[22:43:24] <Dildus> The story about the "plane crash" of all those , what, transmeta employees raised a lot of suspicion.
[22:44:28] <Dildus> Well, I'll be excited when it does happen.
[22:45:04] <Dildus> Shit, my grampa did photogrammetry in the fucking '70's, many many years before Google Maps' cute "3-D" izing appeared as a feature.
[22:45:10] <takyon> inb4 the insurance files are just cat pics
[22:45:26] <takyon> from imgur
[22:45:35] takyon is now known as akyon
[22:46:18] <Dildus> Could be bullshit. If you wanted to scare the shit out of a deep state you could encrypt it in a way that only a select few know how to decrypt. And there'd better be damning stuff in there, because it won't work if there ain't.
[22:47:42] <akyon> well, in the case of WikiLeaks, they get so many docs that they might not even need to tease the contents to generate some uncertainty among govts
[22:47:49] <akyon> but yeah, that makes sense
[22:47:52] akyon is now known as takyon
[22:48:20] <Dildus> takyon, playing troll is a stupid thing to do if you don't have the nuclear option to back up your bluffing.
[22:49:04] <takyon> Dildus: Exhibit A: Assange's threats of Hillary being "indicted", despite the fact we're sitting here wondering if he's full of shit.
[22:49:12] <takyon> Assange is not above bluffing, or blustering
[22:49:33] <Dildus> The sultan of Brinei's massive sex-orgies wouldn't even do a damn thing to him. His populace has the internet. They think that's normal now, bahaha.
[22:49:52] <Gravis> takyon: it's not like he has much to lose
[22:50:04] <takyon> massive sex orgies? gotta get an e-vite
[22:50:43] <Gravis> takyon: yeah because would pass up a chance to get as many STDs as possible in one day?
[22:51:14] <takyon> what's the worst that could happen
[22:51:21] <takyon> we almost have a cure for AIDS
[22:51:31] <takyon> all the rest of them will be conquered shortly
[22:52:03] <Dildus> If Assange is bluffing, we will find out sooner or later, and it will hurt the credibility of not only his organization but others like it.
[22:52:28] <Dildus> Simply casting doubt ain't good enough.
[22:52:40] <Gravis> takyon: pff... yeah, no cure for the herp
[22:52:47] <takyon> Gravis: yet
[22:53:02] <takyon> Gravis: plus, if we're talking about a sultan, he should be able to afford some clean bitchez
[22:53:05] <Dildus> Sure there is. Grow your pubes and don't tell them you have it.
[22:53:17] <takyon> Dildus: Like I said, I'll give Assange until October
[22:53:46] <Dildus> or you will assassinate him yourself when he exposes himself on the balcony again?
[22:54:12] <takyon> I'll slip laxatives into his food, watch the embassy kick him out
[22:54:12] <Dildus> Yes, dispose of Sephiroth!
[22:54:31] <Gravis> takyon: you don't need to cure AIDS, you need to cure HIV
[22:54:38] <Dildus> takyon - they're South-Americans. The worst that could do is daily life back home, and they remember it daily.
[22:54:48] <takyon> Gravis: nobody cares
[22:54:58] <Gravis> takyon: people with HIV care
[22:55:26] <takyon> I'm outta here. I'll let you two interact
[22:55:27] <Dildus> Modern AIDS treatment prolongs lives enough to enjoy many more bug-chasing parties.
[22:55:47] <Dildus> I'm outta here. I got a bug-chasing party to attend!
[22:55:52] <Gravis> takyon: considering the other person is on my block list, i doubt that will happen
[22:56:00] <Dildus> ...and I'm the guest of honor, BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
[22:56:12] <Gravis> takyon: or you have lost your mind and we are the only two people

[23:54:17] <Dildus> That's the problem with being White.

[23:57:31] <SirFinkus> out of Poulsbo, WA
[23:57:43] <SirFinkus> "little norway"
[23:58:03] <Dildus> 'least it ain't little Sweden.
[23:58:23] <SirFinkus> no, that'd be a stout
[23:58:25] <Dildus> The only think you 'd be drinking was from the fountainhead of your mother's sister's bull
[23:58:27] <SirFinkus> and come in a big can
[23:58:47] <Dildus> Well, you're lucky.
[23:59:38] <SirFinkus> not a bad ipa either
[23:59:45] <SirFinkus> not the best, but above average
