[14:57:48] <arcz> If you're gonna ban me from moderating you should have banned arist as well as he mods all my comments troll without regard to if they are even plausibly a troll comment.
[14:59:46] <boru> How do you know they haven't been?
[15:00:10] <arcz> "There's plenty of law on how the government, when it rents a space to any random speaker, can't suddenly say "anyone except this person".
[15:00:17] <arcz> modded as troll
[15:00:35] <arcz> how could that be trolling? it's simply an accurate explanation of the first amendment
[15:00:38] <boru> How do you know it was them?
[15:01:05] <arcz> Who else would it be? Whoever it was, is obviously abusing their mods.
[15:02:40] <boru> There are a lot of users on the site, many of whom have been known to use their mod points.
[15:03:06] <boru> Baseless accusations don't really help your cause a whole lot.
[15:03:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcz, we don't police mods except in cases of mod-bombing and spam mod abuse. that's why everyone gets mod points; to correct bad mods.
[15:03:10] -!- Sulla [Sulla!~Sulla@beouqa-182-197-100-76.mycingular.net] has joined #Soylent
[15:04:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean, shit, i get modded troll on absolutely anything i post whether i'm trolling or not.
[15:04:34] <arcz> By the trolls? http, and aristwhatever ?
[15:04:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> those would not be bad guesses...
[15:05:09] <boru> Indeed. That aristarchus character is a bellend.
[15:05:37] <arcz> http is just as bad. :/
[15:05:58] <boru> I don't know that character, but then again, I haven't read comments in a while.
[15:06:25] <Sulla> People take getting modded down way to personal
[15:06:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't sweat a bad mod or two though. our outright worst trolls maintain a 40+ karma and most of the community browse at 0 or lower anyway.
[15:07:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> not all of the bad mods get corrected but enough of them do that it's not worth trying something that could make it worse.
[15:08:42] <boru> That aside, why were you banned from moderating, arcz?
[15:10:24] <arcz> because I gave aris a spam mod. which imo, is what his comments are. but i guess people have a different definition of spam here.
[15:12:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> we try and spell them out as best we can in the mod guidelines. if you need clarification though just poke your head in here any time.
[15:17:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> for the record, i hate mod banning people. even aristarchus's annoying ass. we gotta apply the rules evenly though or we're just shitty tyrants.
[15:17:29] <arcz> Well, I'm just trying to say, a lot of my comments get modded troll
[15:18:01] <arcz> and the fact that this one got modded troll, which no reasonable person could consider a troll comment, shows it was an intentional mod bomb
[15:18:24] <arcz> and not because s/he thought the comment was trolling
[15:18:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> wrong phrase. mod bombs round these parts are five or more downmods by one person in a day.
[15:19:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> the above is just someone being a shithead. which we allow because it's too subjective to write rules against.
[15:19:23] <Sulla> Arcz: you arent alone, I got banned for that too
[15:19:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> Sulla, you did it, knew you were gonna get banned, and came in and told us you did it. =P
[15:20:10] <Sulla> Eh kek off mate. My post telling arist got +5 insightful
[15:20:26] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[15:20:28] <Sulla> But it made him stop bitching
[15:20:31] <arcz> Can we please get a way to ignore mods by certain users? And maybe make mods public? I have to browse at -1 because of trolls downmodding reasonable people.
[15:20:32] <Sulla> So mission success
[15:21:30] <arcz> not only myself, but anyone who disagrees with them. we should also add a (-1) illogical mod.
[15:21:34] <Sulla> Arcz: Was wondering why you made me a foe then made me a friend
[15:21:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcz, possibly to the first one. no to the second. been discussed at length multiple times and no reason other than being able to properly direct a grudge was ever articulated.
[15:22:39] <Sulla> In general it seems the moderation leanings depend on time of day
[15:22:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup, i noticed that too
[15:22:52] <Sulla> And the older an article gets the more libertarian the mod points go
[15:23:41] <boru> Perhaps it depends on the timezone, then.
[15:23:57] <Sulla> Personal interest also kicks in, I dont know if I want people knowing it was me who modded their serious comment +1 funny. *he says on public recorrd
[15:24:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> been thinking about enforcing programatically a minimum ratio of upmods to downmods. that'd stop our worst few moderators from being as shitty.
[15:25:54] <Sulla> At some point I want to see my score
[15:26:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> but even our shittiest mods upmod > 3.5x more often than they downmod
[15:26:35] <arcz> Sulla: I'm not sure why I set your relation to foe originally. might have been an accident.
[15:26:36] <Sulla> Tmb: unrelated but the AC that made therealdonaldtrump a subscriber wants to know how much he has to give to make him have two stars. For great lulz
[15:26:38] <boru> You could probably catch mod bombers by examining their agent strings or some such.
[15:26:56] <boru> Many probably just use the same browser to log in under a different account.
[15:26:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> Sulla, HA!
[15:27:30] <arcz> I normally set people foe when they write stupid comments and friend if they have a brain.
[15:28:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> boru, we ain't fooled by switching browsers. not really any significant mod bombing problem either. almost never have to smack anyone around about it.
[15:29:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcz, you must be having hell deciding on me then =P
[15:30:12] <Sulla> I dont recall any of arcz posts being that bad
[15:30:26] <Sulla> But recently I feel there has been more negative modding than up
[15:30:34] <Sulla> Seen a lot less 4s and 5s recently
[15:30:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> quite possibly. i haven't ran the ratios recently.
[15:32:13] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: Nah. You're pretty rational. I mod people foe who write stuff that is so incredibly stupid they're either trolling, groupthink, or brainwashed.
[15:33:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> you caught me on a rational stretch. i dearly love me a good troll sometimes though.
[15:33:28] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: I think ignoring mods by certain users wouldn't harm the user you ignore so I don't think it's a problem.
[15:33:44] <Sulla> I think 10 mod points is bad idea
[15:33:52] <Sulla> Because I use em or lose em irrationally
[15:34:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcz, i agree. i'm just not sure how much impact it would have on comments rendering time.
[15:34:48] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: Nearly zero? lol, it's just an additional table lookup.
[15:34:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> Sulla, so do most people by my standards =P
[15:35:06] <arcz> Unless you have a HUUUGE ignore list
[15:35:28] <arcz> in which case downloading it every page could be slow
[15:35:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> right but it's an additional query for every single comment. when you have 100+ that adds up quickly.
[15:35:46] <arcz> no
[15:35:59] <arcz> you don't need to query the server for each comment
[15:36:02] <Sulla> I think it would promote groupthink
[15:36:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> rather it's a more complex query.
[15:36:10] <arcz> just pass the ignore list to the client
[15:36:17] <arcz> have the javascript filter it
[15:36:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> we don't do ajax.
[15:36:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> there is no javascript
[15:36:24] <Sulla> You would have your bubbles of people thinking they are getting modded up when they arent
[15:36:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> cept the collapsible comments thing
[15:36:42] <Sulla> Plus arist would ignore everyone and feel vindicated he only gets +5s
[15:36:47] <arcz> Yikes. SQL too?
[15:37:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh we do sql. we're just allergic to javascript.
[15:37:13] <arcz> lol
[15:37:31] <arcz> I am alergic to SQL and I use javascript on my sites :p
[15:37:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> be easiest to just tie your foes list to the moderations query.
[15:38:07] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: That doesn't let me see randoms who are downmodded by trolla
[15:38:10] <arcz> *trolls
[15:38:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> no i mean ignore moderations by anyone on your foes list.
[15:38:45] <Sulla> Just make it so all mods are visible (said above) when you click the individual comment
[15:38:51] <Sulla> Like when you view your own
[15:39:26] <arcz> ah okay
[15:39:54] <arcz> also the ignore list could be fast as long as you don't do one sql query per comment
[15:40:24] <arcz> so, one query to get the user's entire ignore list, and some quick map lookups to see if a comment is ignored
[15:40:33] <arcz> comment mod
[15:40:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> something like select * from moderator_log where uid <> $foe1_uid AND uid <> $foe2_uid
[15:40:54] <arcz> nsh
[15:40:56] <arcz> nah
[15:41:07] <arcz> SQL is not good for this
[15:41:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> quicker that way. sql is WAY faster than perl at value comparisons.
[15:41:21] <Sulla> Surf soylent at work, soylent turns into work. Tryin to trick me with this sql
[15:41:49] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: Ever heard of C++??? This website is hacked together with perl and sql? lol
[15:42:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> Sulla, i know it's not remotely optimized. it's scratchpad sql not production.
[15:42:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcz, C++ for a website? ye gads man...
[15:43:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'not like we're google or something. we don't need THAT level of performance.
[15:43:10] <upstart> <TheMightyBuzzard> arcz, C++ for a website? ye gads man...
[15:43:18] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: I am writing a website in C++ for a school project. it works great so far, the parts that aremimplemented
[15:43:29] <arcz> why use a slow language?
[15:43:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh sure. it's just gonna suck goat ass to maintain.
[15:44:15] <arcz> no. I prefer C++ because it's easier to maintain
[15:44:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> also going to require about 20x more lines of code than equivalent perl.
[15:45:11] <arcz> take this from a guy who made an 18,000 line server javascript script for pokemon online, c++ is less work in the long term.
[15:45:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> if we were gonna redo it in any low-level language it'd be rust. way, way less shoot yourself in the foot possibilities.
[15:45:40] <arcz> rust is hype :p
[15:45:46] <Sulla> Is pokemon online that mmo from 15 years ago?
[15:45:56] <Sulla> That never turned out and ruined the dreams of a generation?
[15:46:16] <arcz> nah it's an ooen source simulator
[15:46:30] <Sulla> Well make a pokemon mmo then
[15:46:49] <arcz> no lol I didn't touch the game engine, just server scripts
[15:46:50] <Sulla> Then ill give you all mu up mods everyday
[15:47:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcz, rust is badass if you want something both secure and fast. you have to fuck up twice as hard to write an exploitable condition.
[15:47:19] <arcz> I just implemented basically stuff like /ban, /kick, /status, etc.
[15:48:06] <arcz> it was complete with runtime swapping of script modules and hotplugging of them
[15:48:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> String data type in C++? amazingly bad idea. String data type in rust? rock on with your bad self.
[15:48:35] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: Why are C++ strings bad?
[15:48:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> that particular data type is. not strings in general.
[15:49:37] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: There is nothing truly bad about C++. It's an expert-oriented language with features that are useful to experts are dangerous when handled by noobs. :P
[15:49:53] <arcz> *but are dangerous
[15:50:53] <arcz> Rust is just, another intermediate-skill language. It's trying to fill the niche of high performance intermediate skill programming.
[15:50:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> a compiler not catching a potential overflow in a data type is a bug in the language or compiler.
[15:52:17] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: Tell that to the compiler devs when your options to figure out if a buffer overflow are 1. a runtime check or 2. a non-polynomial (NP) exponential time algorithm that runs in 2^N time.
[15:52:44] <arcz> I prefer my compiler not take exponential time
[15:53:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> sounds like allocation tracking should be built into the data type then, no?
[15:54:09] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: Sounds like C++'s RAII!
[15:54:55] <arcz> The presense of unsafe features does not imply the absense of safe ones. C++ is adequate.
[15:54:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> IMO there's a place for C/C++. it's in environments where you have utterly predictable input, none of it from users.
[15:55:30] <arcz> I think that for C, there are some reasons to make that point
[15:55:53] <arcz> thr fact you say "C/C++" is a clear indication you don't understand C++ very well...
[15:56:00] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[15:56:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> depends on who you're comparing me to.
[15:56:56] <arcz> like I said, C++ is an expert-oriented language.
[15:57:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> i know better than to hire myself out to write an entire OS in it but i'm quite comfortable deving embedded C++
[15:57:36] <arcz> it's most useful for experts, not novices, or intermediate skill devs, and certainly not beginners
[15:58:13] <arcz> Most observed flaws of C++ have obvious solutions when you've been using it long enough.
[15:58:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> which means you can't really hire inexpensive programmers for it unless you want a piece of shit for output
[15:58:46] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: Correct. C++ is a hard to learn language.
[15:59:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean you basically just said you should never let anyone get enough experience to ever become an expert.
[16:00:03] <arcz> Or just supervise them with an expert that reviews codes and guides the noobs until they learn better.
[16:00:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'actually a very simple language unless you want to show off or just feel the need to use obscure features.
[16:00:54] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: If you call them obscure that explains why you don't think C++ is a good language. C++ has a solution to nearly every problem.
[16:01:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> perl, now perl is a complex language. i been coding it for over 20 years and i still don't know how to read some of it.
[16:01:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcz, obscure == "commonly used"
[16:01:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> != rather
[16:02:38] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: The absense of skilled C++ devs is a byproduct of our shitty university system that teaches Java the holy grail and only the parts of C++ that match Java.
[16:02:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, partially
[16:03:11] <arcz> Like seriously, they abuse OO when it's not needed and don't use the features that make good C++.
[16:03:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> nobody coming out of college should ever be expected to be "skilled" at anything though
[16:03:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> "barely competent" is the best you should hope for.
[16:04:21] <arcz> And yes C++ has multiple virtual inheritance. Does that mean you should use it to solve every problem? No. Many C++ devs don't understand when to use a feature and when not to. But that's not C++'s fault.
[16:04:46] <arcz> It's just the fact: C++ is oriented at experts.
[16:05:41] <arcz> It's good for thoughtful, deliberate programming and not rushing in with the first solution that comes to mind.

[16:05:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> side thought, not C++-specific: macros in programming languages need to die in a fire
[16:05:55] <arcz> yes I agree on that
[16:06:17] <arcz> C++ macros should never be used. They're just a byproduct of C.

[16:06:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm seriously considering finding out where MrPlow's irc library writer lives and beating the shit out of him
[16:08:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> he had a perfectly decent if incomplete irc library going then for no valid reason rewrote it as an async library with frivolous overuse of macros wherever he could fit one.
[16:09:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> not externally async, mind you. externally it functions nearly exactly the same and synchronously still. internally.
[16:12:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think the fucker did it just because he wanted to learn how to use the futures crate. that's not what you fucking do if you're maintaining a library that other people use.

[16:20:53] <Sulla> Takyon commented the other day that seemed to me they didnt think china too big a thread
[16:20:56] <Sulla> Threat
[16:21:12] <Sulla> So gonna start subing articles from china digital times (anti-party taiwan)
[16:22:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> china's not much of a threat to the US. really not to tiwan either, for all their saber rattling.
[16:23:17] <Sulla> Wish I had the article. There was a diplomat that worked alongside nixon
[16:23:26] <Sulla> He was regretting everything we had done
[16:23:45] <Sulla> Maos primary book he used got transalted in the late 90s
[16:24:07] <Sulla> Was a roadmap for the chinese. They achieved all goals, we fell for every pitfall
[16:24:37] <Sulla> Still. Worst case they just get to advance economically beyond us and we have to pay more for some stuff, not a huge impact
[16:25:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh they're right bastards if you live in china but if you don't (according to what they consider china) they're not terribly aggressive.
[16:26:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> they play the game and they're good at it but they're not really physically dangerous if you could seriously hurt them back.
[16:34:11] <Sulla> Not yet
[16:35:35] <Sulla> I have a liberal at work who is in love with china and their party. Getting tired of how great china is and how we should forgive for sterilizing non-major ethnicities just 20years ago. Yet we should be put on the cross for slavery 150 ago
[16:36:21] <Sulla> Wrong is wrong, but at least one of us appears to have made changes for the better
[16:37:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> Sulla, you're thinking of him as a rational person. stop that. think of him as a teenager who hates everything daddy stands for just because he's a spoiled little shithead. much will suddenly make sense.
[16:38:09] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: He's probably future-proofing his library.
[16:38:27] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[16:38:40] <SoyGuest64926> As someone fairly "liberal", I don't think that label applies to your workmate. "wacko" is probably closer.
[16:38:41] <arcz> I mean that in both senses. Futures are the ideal API, theoretically, anyway.
[16:38:56] <arcz> It means he can add async later and it will just work.
[16:39:09] <arcz> no changes needed in your app
[16:39:23] <arcz> if you want sync just do .get() afterwards
[16:39:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> Phil, you need to meet some US progressives. it's absolutely scary how accurate that comparison is. there is nothing the US has ever done that is right and any adversary of ours can do no wrong.
[16:40:11] <SoyGuest64926> well, I agree with the former ;-)
[16:40:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> #smake FatPhil
[16:40:31] * MrPlow smakes FatPhil upside the head with a pay cut
[16:40:55] <SoyGuest64926> halp! halp! I'm being attacked by wrongness!
[16:41:17] <cmn32480> #sammich
[16:41:17] * MrPlow whips up a vegan special sammich for cmn32480
[16:41:45] <SoyGuest64926> ooh, ooh, g/f a-callin', time to get beerin'
[16:41:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcz, it already just worked. and could be used asynchronously if you cared to with like 10 extra lines including brace-only lines.
[16:42:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> now it just works exactly the same but it's a horrible cunt to fix any of his bugs for him.
[16:50:10] <Sulla> How much needs to be paid for second gold star was serious request
[16:52:13] <arcz> TheMightyBuzzard: get used to futures, you're gonna see a lot more C++ using them
[16:54:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcz, nah. most all the c++ i see embedded and using futures in embedded code would be cocktacularly fucktarded.
[16:56:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> Sulla, if we're talking like three zeroes or more i'll float it to the management. otherwise it's pretty damned funny but not worth breaking "don't clutter shit up or do things just for lulz" policy.
[16:57:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> and if we were gonna sell the ability to slap icons on someone else's account, i'd prefer selling a 8====D icon. it'd be more marketable.
[16:58:51] <Sulla> Kek
[17:02:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> i see by the clock on my right-side monitor that nap time has arrived. back later.

[18:23:17] <Ethanol-fueled> 'Sup Niggaz
[18:26:32] <Ethanol-fueled> I thought Mandalay Bay sounded familiar
[18:26:45] <Ethanol-fueled> It was, as SN reported, the proposed site of the cancelled Defcon
[18:27:17] <Ethanol-fueled> Also note that fidget spinners , which are the shape of the Mandalay Bay hotel, suddenly and inorganically became viral right before the shooting.
[18:27:23] <Ethanol-fueled> There is predictive programming going on.
[18:28:09] <Ethanol-fueled> Remember that one night when I shitposted here in IRC from Vegas? We were at a hotel right across from the concert venue. The Mandalay Bay and Delano were both very visible from our hotel room
[18:28:26] <cmn32480> heya Ethanol-fueled hope things are good.
[18:28:45] <Ethanol-fueled> That is the second time that I was only a short time and distance away from mass shootings, the other being the San bernardino shooting (was in Colton a week earlier)
[18:28:51] <Ethanol-fueled> sup cmn, hows it hangin?
[18:30:24] <cmn32480> little to the right
[18:30:57] * TheMightyBuzzard floats a second, alcohol-powered, shooter theory
[18:32:38] <boru> Speaking of which, it is whiskey o'clock.
[18:34:14] <Sulla> Well trump made anime real. Ivanka wearing a kimono
[18:35:07] <Ethanol-fueled> Sup others
[18:35:43] <Ethanol-fueled> Buzzard, the CIA/Mossad/Saudis did it
[18:35:51] <boru> It is a fine hour to sup, indeed.
[18:36:08] * Ethanol-fueled is gonna wait 5-ish hours to start drinking
[18:36:39] <Ethanol-fueled> The helicopter theories are ridiculous, though, at any given moment there are 3 helos over vegas, doing tours
[18:36:43] <Sulla> Organizing my desk right now. Now that our financial soft implementation is done my pile org system needs resolving
[18:37:17] <Ethanol-fueled> Gotta do more work on a prototype for a customer
[18:37:31] <Ethanol-fueled> Never trust mechanical engineers to solder.
[18:37:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> shit, i forgot i was talking over here
[18:37:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Buzzard, like your comment about Europe.
[18:38:12] <Ethanol-fueled> It's a damn shame, I thought they were all about freedom.
[18:38:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> you know me, mr. tact himself.
[18:38:26] <Ethanol-fueled> Especially those nihilist Frogs
[18:39:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> sheit... they're too busy turning themselves into the commie fucktards we saved them from back in the 20th
[18:39:34] <Sulla> I thought macron was turning things around by kicking out the illegals?
[18:39:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> cept poland. poland is the EF of europe
[18:39:48] <boru> Hungary, as well.
[18:39:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah?
[18:39:57] <boru> Aye.
[18:40:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> cool
[18:40:14] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah the Slavs and Balts have been cool but I hear that Serbia has been compromised
[18:40:18] <Sulla> They are a good thorn in the 4th reich's side
[18:40:35] <Ethanol-fueled> Yes, the throat-slashing, rape camp-using Serbs
[18:40:36] <boru> It's hard to know what's going on in the EU at the moment. There's a lot of confusion.
[18:41:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> never really hear much about hungary over this way anyhow. poland makes the news more.
[18:41:24] <boru> Lots of legislation being quietly passed in the background.
[18:41:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> good on em then
[18:41:55] <boru> Indeed.
[18:42:10] <boru> Both countries have told Merkel to stuff it, which I commend them for.
[18:43:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> from what i've read and heard from poles, they should try signing on as really, really, really east-texas
[18:43:35] <boru> They're being threatened with economic sanctions for not opening their borders to immigrants from the African continent, which is all very strange.
[18:44:05] <boru> Can Ireland come too, please?
[18:44:50] <Ethanol-fueled> Can the California besides San Fran and Los Angeles come too?
[18:44:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> bring the ishka baha along with you and i'm down
[18:45:13] <boru> Done deal.
[18:56:53] -!- Ethanol-fueled has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[19:05:44] <Sulla> Im hungry but dont want to deal with homeless people on my way to find food
[19:06:14] <boru> If you just hit them with a club before you see them, they don't struggle as much when you are eating them.
[19:11:31] <Sulla> I think it is too much like that futurama episode, I dont want to be fired for being intoxicated at work
[19:11:54] <boru> I don't watch television, I'm afraid, so I don't get your reference.
[19:12:23] <Sulla> Alien ate a hippy and got high
[19:12:27] <boru> Ah.
