[00:33:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> db, hunterxhunter, bleach, naruto, god eater, fairy tale, overlord, and a few others i can't remember just now.
[00:34:04] <AzumaHazuki> i only know what Naruto and Bleach are out of those and kind of can't tell them apart too well
[00:34:36] <AzumaHazuki> Naruto is ninjas and Bleach is cowboys, wasn't it?
[00:34:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> shinigami for bleach
[00:35:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> most of the ones i watch are heavy on the fighting but not all
[00:36:13] <Bytram> ZOUNDS! What a chatty bunch you've been. I tried to catch up on scroll back and after umpteen pages

[00:36:48] <AzumaHazuki> bwehh, never been into shounen. cute lesbian romance is where it's at <3 as unrealistic as it is
[00:36:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> a little ecchi but mostly just funny.
[00:37:27] * AzumaHazuki still ships Mercury/Jupiter and Neptune/Uranus super hard, mostly because they were instrumental in getting her to come out
[00:38:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> nothing wrong with lesbian romance. just need some gratuitous violence too. see BtVS.
[00:39:37] <AzumaHazuki> ick. i've seen enough violence and suffering for several lifetimes, thanks. and sex and violence don't mix
[00:40:22] * chromas puts away the jumper cables
[00:40:45] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki++ Unless if is mutually agreed upon before hand... I understand there are some people who are into that, but I sure AS heck am not.

[00:40:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> you probably shouldn't watch The Quiet Man then. longest fight scene up to that point in hollywood history.
[00:41:13] <AzumaHazuki> The Touhou fandom is great for yuri too. like the entire cast is women, and there's sooo much subtext between Marisa and Alice for example
[00:41:57] <chromas> even longer than Obi-Wan vs Anakin?

[00:44:15] <AzumaHazuki> i want to compose sometime...it hurts to have ideas inside and never be able to get them on staff paper
[00:44:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> hey, what happened to only consensual violence?
[00:44:58] <chromas> no means yes when it comes to smakes
[00:45:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> not an author but i do know several. they'd all say write it first and fix it later.

[11:08:11] <upstart> ^ 03One America News Network - Wikipedia
[11:08:25] <Bytram> "One America News Network (OANN), also referred to as One America News (OAN), is an American right-wing[1] pay television news channel launched on July 4, 2013, owned by Herring Networks, Inc. The network is headquartered in San Diego, California, and operates a news bureau in Washington, D.C.[2] and New York City. "
[11:08:38] <Bytram> "Originally launched with the intention of targeting a conservative and center-right audience,[3][4] OAN states a goal of delivering credible national and international news coverage throughout the day while its prime time political talk shows illustrate a conservative perspective.[5][6][7] According to The Washington Post, the channel has been noted for its pro-Trump coverage.[8] The channel has also been noted for promoting falsehoods
[11:08:38] <Bytram> and conspiracy theories.[9][10]"

[11:13:10] <Runaway1956> also that Reuters isn't "non-partisan" - they are liberal

[11:18:24] <Bytram> https://en.wikipedia.org
[11:18:26] <upstart> ^ 03Reuters - Wikipedia
[11:18:39] <Bytram> "Reuters (/ˈrɔɪtərz/) is an international news organization.[1] It is a division of Thomson Reuters and has nearly 200 locations around the world. Until 2008, the Reuters news agency formed part of an independent company, Reuters Group plc, which was also a provider of financial market data. Since the acquisition of Reuters Group by the Thomson Corporation in 2008, the Reuters news agency has been a part of Thomson Reuters, making
[11:18:39] <Bytram> up the media division. Reuters transmits news in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Urdu, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. It was established in 1851. "
[11:19:38] <Bytram> ...Reuters' editorial policy states: "We are committed to reporting the facts and in all situations avoid the use of emotive terms. The only exception is when we are quoting someone directly or in indirect speech."
[11:20:33] <Bytram> ...In July 2013, David Fogarty, former Reuters climate change correspondent in Asia, resigned after a career of almost 20 years with the company and wrote about a "climate of fear" which resulted in "progressively, getting any climate change-themed story published got harder" following comments from then deputy editor-in-chief Paul Ingrassia that he was a "climate change sceptic".
[11:21:13] <Bytram> If there are any leanings at all,it appears to be conservative rather than liberal.
[11:21:54] <Bytram> And, if Reuters is at all problematic for you, I wonder why you submitted a story quoting them?
[11:30:05] <Runaway1956> Oh - that's easy - the OAN story came up in my news feed before the Reuters story did
[11:30:36] <Runaway1956> My point in my response was, Reuters is just another news source, no better, or worse, than OAN
[11:31:03] <Runaway1956> \Reuters is more liberal than OAN, amirite?

[11:31:48] <Bytram> I do not see anything saying that Reuters is liberal. Do you have a source for that?
[11:32:26] <Runaway1956> overall coverage of anything to do with Israel - Reuters likes that liberal stance of supporting Palestine, and undermining Israel
[11:33:03] <Bytram> I see you have an opinion on that... sources?
[11:38:54] <Runaway1956> Any source I offer will probably just be an opinion - try this one - ttps://answers.yahoo.com
[11:39:23] <Bytram> yowza! Now there's a tracker!
[11:39:25] <Runaway1956> I suppose it's important to note that Euro and UK liberal aren't the same as American liberal
[11:39:38] <Bytram> well understood, thanks!

[11:43:39] <Bytram> unfortunately, I am in the process of preparing my computer for a drive upgrade.
[11:44:20] <Bytram> Need to do a "chkdsk" and then a full drive copy (500 GB) and then, crossing fingers, see if I can boot from the new SSD which is replacing my current spinny drive.
[11:45:42] <Bytram> when I looked at the OANN page, there was a "word thingy" showing "popularity" of various terms, and they appeared to me to have a strong conservative angle
[11:45:43] <Runaway1956> nice story - I have never looked at Catholic politics, but I'm sure there's a whole world of crazy in it
[11:45:51] <Bytram> no doubt
[11:46:35] <Bytram> the intersection of the spiritual with the physical dealing with peoplke having feet of clay -- I've met some absolutely amazing people of "faith" and some jerks, as well
[11:47:32] <Bytram> claiming one's beliefs vs how one follows them and those in comparison to the teachings which are derived from only partially extant versions of ancient documents that are not written in english can be... problematic

[17:43:54] <AndyTheAbsurd> How's Monday treating you?
[17:44:40] <AzumaHazuki> eh...had better but had much worse too
[17:45:06] <AzumaHazuki> that idiot manager at the hospital fired every single one of us newbies on 1 May, but I had an interview on the 2nd, was asked for references on the 3rd, and half of them have already answered
[17:45:26] <AzumaHazuki> so with any luck i'll have a new position in the cell science lab elsewhere soon :) helping detect cancer
[17:45:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> Sucks about you getting fired, but VERY nice about the new job prospect.
[17:46:06] <AzumaHazuki> well, not "very nice" until i have a solid offer. but if i get it i'm just gonna laugh and laugh and laugh
[17:46:30] <AzumaHazuki> that idiot manager has no idea how much trouble he's in. at least one long-time tech and two very, very senior pharmacists I've made friends with are apparently so angry they're planning to quit

[17:53:43] <janrinok> Hi AndyTheAbsurd , SoyGuest16499
[17:54:16] <SoyGuest16499> howdy janrinok - how's life?
[17:54:32] <janrinok> It's been better, but I can cope :)
[17:54:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> Holy fuck I hate the popularity of Slack and Discord. But I shouldn't bitch too much since I'm too lazy to set up a Matrix server.
[17:55:04] <SoyGuest16499> slack should die
[17:55:22] <janrinok> never used either
[17:55:33] <AzumaHazuki> Discord is IRC + web 2.0
[17:55:38] <AzumaHazuki> i want to like it but uuuuuuugh
[17:55:52] <janrinok> Hi AzumaHazuki
[17:56:00] <AzumaHazuki> o/
[17:56:29] <AzumaHazuki> i've been trying to work on Ari a bit, asking him to tone down the...editorializing...in his subs. in return, would that make you more likely to publish?
[17:56:57] ErnestTBass is now known as Fnord666__
[17:57:10] <janrinok> If he posts something new that is of interest to the community then yes, of course. But I'm not optimistic based on past experience
[17:57:44] <Fnord666__> Afternoon janrinok!
[17:58:03] <AzumaHazuki> this site has a serious alt-right problem, janrinok. Ari, as much as he annoys me, is one of our best chances to counterbalance some of it
[17:58:15] <AzumaHazuki> i see potential in him, if he will but learn to control himself
[17:58:19] <janrinok> Fnord666__, doing a brilliant job keeping the queues full I see.
[17:58:58] <Fnord666__> thanks. Doing what I can
[17:59:31] <Fnord666__> How've you been?
[17:59:42] <janrinok> Az, I don't always see it the same way as you. If EVERBODY would leave politics out of stories where it is not the topic then things would be much better. Trying to defeat one group by encouraging the other is not a solution.
[18:00:09] <AzumaHazuki> it would be nice if everyone would, but everyone ain't, and burying our heads in the sand won't make it go away
[18:00:33] <AzumaHazuki> your guard is down. you seem unwilling to believe that certain people with certain motives exist, and would take this site for their own in a flash if they could
[18:00:37] <janrinok> Fnord666__, I think I'm finally getting into a routine caring for S, but it is a big task and I'm frequently tired.
[18:01:36] <AzumaHazuki> and i have to say, your "what if" scenario, where you basically said you'd just leave if it got too swampy, is...not encouraging
[18:01:46] <janrinok> I'm not blind, but I would rather they would all shut up. I don't see that fanning the flames is the way to solve the problem. Ari knows what is required to make a submission - but another story on the alt-right we do not need. We have 5 waiting already.
[18:02:53] <AzumaHazuki> so maybe take the hint?
[18:03:15] <AzumaHazuki> i'm sure he'll just start posting them as AC with no "add-ons" at some point, and you'll be none the wiser
[18:03:37] <janrinok> And those in the queue are no different to any of the earlier submissions. I don't want to read who Trump thinks are the innocent victims of censorship, nor why FB is banning certain people. It is just more of the same old, same old ...
[18:04:03] <AzumaHazuki> then i must ask that you consider very carefully the content of any incoming subs like that "disappearing white majority" one in the future
[18:04:08] <janrinok> If he posts the same old rubbish it will probably result in the same old outcome
[18:04:13] <AzumaHazuki> you MUST have known what kind of shitstorm that would be, janrinok!
[18:04:36] <AzumaHazuki> we have people on this site who will tell you with the closest thing they own to a straight face that the "white race" (wtf) is being genocided
[18:05:43] <janrinok> When this site started we could discuss things without taking political sides. This is a fairly recent phenomenon, particularly among our US members. I have no sympathy for either side.
[18:06:09] <AzumaHazuki> do you realize that attitude is about the same as Trump's "very fine people on both sides" thing? You cannot pretend moral neutrality where there is none
[18:06:17] <AzumaHazuki> like it or not this is the new zeitgeist
[18:06:40] <AzumaHazuki> if you do not adapt to changing times and changing userbase, the site will suffer
[18:06:50] <janrinok> Ari claims he is a Greek philosopher - then tell him to bog off from interfering in US politics and post something else that might be of interest.
[18:07:26] <AzumaHazuki> ...I see. Well then. I volunteer, then, to be an editor. If someone isn't going to make sure we get more STEM and less politics, maybe it's up to me
[18:07:29] <janrinok> AzumaHazuki, I've spent a lot of time today posting rebuttals - I've had enough for today. Please change the subject
[18:07:49] <janrinok> We all publish STEM!
[18:08:20] <AzumaHazuki> we've had one king hell mountain of a lot of politics and flamebait lately. i'll try and ramp up my submissions but there's only so much i can do alone
[18:08:31] <janrinok> Well stop enco
[18:08:50] <janrinok> uwell stop encouraging it then. Mod it down until it goes away

[18:09:34] <AzumaHazuki> right?
[18:09:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> shit, janrinok left.

[18:12:16] <AzumaHazuki> i wonder sometimes if it would be all that tragic a loss if SN were just hacked off the face of the earth...
[18:18:42] <chromas> long as they leave the ircd
[18:19:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> irc daemons are fairly easy to set up.
[18:19:33] <chromas> This one already has the users though
[18:19:47] <chromas> social networks are easy to set up too
[18:19:52] <AndyTheAbsurd> "apt install charybdis" should work on Debian-based systems.
[18:20:04] <AndyTheAbsurd> IRC *is* a social network. :)
[18:20:17] <chromas> It's not a social network because we don't call it that ;)
[18:20:54] <AndyTheAbsurd> right-o.
[18:20:55] <chromas> anyhow there's a buttload of facebutt competitors but nobody know about them
[18:21:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> yeah, but all of them have tried to differeniate themselves from Facebook with stupid differences
[18:22:05] <AndyTheAbsurd> when what people want is "Facebook with less ads and a better algorithm for showing posts they actually care about".
[18:23:01] <AndyTheAbsurd> (although personally I'd also want "an option to show me ALL posts, reverse chronologically, rather than what an algorithm thinks I want to see" option.)
[18:23:06] * AndyTheAbsurd goes for a walk
[18:24:03] <chromas> Facebook used to have perfect ad targeting. For example, I set my profile to middle aged married man: boom! ads about cheating. Set it to middle aged woman: Muh jewelrys

[20:09:22] <Bender> karma - chili: 6
[20:12:43] <SoyGuest16499> just a snack plate of cheeses and meats (and olives, and sun-dried tomatoes) for me - nibbled at during breaks between sauna sessions.
[20:13:17] <SoyGuest16499> having said that - why the fuck did my pickled onions start to ferment in the jar!??!!?
[20:17:15] <AzumaHazuki> doesn't that make them all the better?
[20:17:56] <SoyGuest16499> it doesn't ruin them, but they're not things you want fizzy, just aesthetically.
[20:25:17] <AzumaHazuki> ah, i've been forgetting to take my probiotic...the pills live in the fridge so i forget they're there
[20:41:58] <SoyGuest16499> I would find it hard to forget about the contents of my fridge, but that's because my fridge contains a stupid number of beers.
[20:43:01] <SoyGuest16499> now drinking a very silly brew from .au sent at great expense by a friend from .au. Hmmm, not sure it was worth the effort, but it's the thought that counts.
[20:43:50] <SoyGuest16499> we're gonna have to put a nice box together as a thank-you return package, I should start planning that.
[20:44:41] <chromas> it's worth the effort just to increment your beer_kinds variable and fill out your review db

[23:14:39] <AzumaHazuki> okay, this recipe is a winner :) needs less liquid next time but the basis is sound
[23:44:54] <RandomFactor> Do i want to know?
[23:49:24] <AzumaHazuki> white chicken chilli with navy beans
[23:50:44] <RandomFactor> sounds yummy, but i'm sharing vienna sausages with the dog atm, so not a high bar :-p
[23:50:51] <AzumaHazuki> loool
[23:51:09] <AzumaHazuki> dog likely would not eat this. way too spicy
[23:52:45] <RandomFactor> He's seemed oblivious to midly spicy if meat was involved so far
[23:53:05] <RandomFactor> but i haven't tormented him with anything nuclear
[23:53:37] <AzumaHazuki> this was a bit on the hot side for sane people. i spent early childhood in a very dense Sichuan and Hunan neighborhood so...
[23:54:14] <fyngyrz> True story:
[23:55:20] <fyngyrz> I was eating peppericini from the bottle... my dog was begging. A lot. I kept telling her "you don't want this", but, no, kept begging. So... I gave her one.
[23:55:21] <RandomFactor> sounds like we have food tastes in common
[23:55:35] <RandomFactor> not familiar with that tho
[23:56:06] <fyngyrz> She took it in her mouth, real gentle-like, and walked away slowly, then stopped, but it down on the floor, backed away about a foot or two and commenced to barking at it
[23:56:15] * AzumaHazuki cracks up
[23:56:27] <fyngyrz> it's a mildly hot pepper
[23:57:19] <fyngyrz> this was an irish setter. Sweet as you could imagine; but essentially a retriever, hence the gentle take and walk away
[23:57:36] <RandomFactor> well, it BIT him. What do you expect.
[23:57:43] <fyngyrz> I'm aqfraid I laughed. A lot.
[23:57:54] <fyngyrz> I felt kinda bad, but... yeah.
[23:58:05] <fyngyrz> yep, exactly
