[00:04:32] <carny> why would you let hp have remote access to your printer in the first place?
[00:04:47] <chromas> subscription of course
[00:04:54] <chromas> hardware-as-a-service
[00:05:18] <chromas> at the very least, it should work until the existing ink runs out
[00:05:26] <chromas> unless it can download more ink
[00:08:28] <FatPhil> working as a service
[00:17:47] <Cascade> Fuck-You-as-a-service
[00:18:07] <carny> the amazing thing about that twitter thread is that @hp isn't responding to the dumpster fire destroying their brand
[00:18:52] <carny> hp has always been a shitty company but at least some of their products were good
[00:19:13] <carny> but after carly i don't think anything they make is worth buying
[00:24:32] <carny> https://twitter.com
[00:24:33] <systemd> ^ 03Twitter ( https://mobile.twitter.com )
[00:25:02] <carny> the bot needs to scrape the tweet text instead of telling us the url again
[00:25:18] <chromas> it used to but people didn't like it
[00:25:26] <carny> really?
[00:25:39] <carny> that's crazy
[00:26:07] <carny> useful irc bots are our helpful little friends
[00:30:05] <chromas> it was probably just one person
[00:30:16] <chromas> anyhow, it's been rewritten since then
[00:56:52] <AzumaHazuki> HP was good a long time ago
[00:57:01] <AzumaHazuki> it's been a shitfire for at least 2 decades though
[00:57:28] <AzumaHazuki> when i worked at an office supply store i always got people Brother printers. Not a single complaint.

[04:03:34] <Sulla> brother printers and the people who suggest them
[04:04:29] <AzumaHazuki> They seem to treat their customers better than HP, and Epson as well. Canon's not bad just way too expensive on the inkjet side
[04:04:45] <AzumaHazuki> and, whoo boy, my journal's getting dogpiled. I think I triggered a whole bunch of people
[04:05:12] <AzumaHazuki> lots of personal attacks, ad-home, and asspained "is this a poe?" "you'd make a good comedian." All whistling in the dark.
[04:05:27] <AzumaHazuki> Christ, when the most insightful comment in the thread is by carrion-breath up here...
[04:33:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> it often is. it's a burden but one i'm willing to bear.
[04:33:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> with real bears.
[04:33:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> and real bear poo. yep. no sham poo here.
[04:34:03] * AzumaHazuki goes digging around for that "haters gonna hate" gif...
[04:34:25] <AzumaHazuki> for real, though, i know i've won when the most people have is insults and dismissiveness
[04:35:25] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[04:35:59] <AzumaHazuki> Also? I mean it about Runaway verging on domestic terrorism. One day he's going to cross a line he can't go back over
[04:36:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> it was basically a long form ad hom, so i'm not sure what you won but good on ya.
[04:36:22] <AzumaHazuki> I don't want this place ending up on some Fed watchlist dammit
[04:37:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> so? domestic terrorism was meant to always be an option. check the writings of the founders. it's why the 2a exists.
[04:37:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> too late. one of the admins is a vet and that puts you on a watch list automagically. thanks obama.
[04:38:10] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - CoolerMaster Changed their Thermal Paste Because Parents Kept Thinking their Kids Were On Drugs - https://sylnt.us - modders-anonymous
[04:38:39] <AzumaHazuki> Oh, lovely
[04:39:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean it's not like he even did it secret like. he published that shit.
[04:39:39] * AzumaHazuki siiiiighs
[04:40:16] <AzumaHazuki> you know, there's been some incredible psyops campaign running that's turned the DTs you have in mind into just another arm of the oppressive state
[04:40:37] <AzumaHazuki> the same guys who keep itching for domestic regime change are the ones pushing the dominionist agenda hardest
[04:40:43] * TheMightyBuzzard doesn't drink enough to get the DTs
[04:41:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> some of em, yeah. prolly true back in 1770 as well too.
[04:41:42] <AzumaHazuki> i don't even know what the fuck any longer. history is cycling us through the same lessons we failed to learn in WWII and 'Nam.
[04:41:59] <AzumaHazuki> there's way less margin for error though. this feedback cycle's going to break
[04:43:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm placing my bets on there being a future. because if there isn't and i lose, i don't have to pay.
[04:44:19] <AzumaHazuki> for my part...i've made a bargain with myself: endure it all, until we hit peak stupid. at that time, i'm taking leave of this world on my own terms
[04:44:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> still got a girlfriend?
[04:45:14] <AzumaHazuki> when there's fighting in the streets over food, when the reaper's sitting across from you cleaning her nails on her scythe going BIT LOUD OUT THERE, ISN'T IT? then it's time. And yes, we have plans for her if it comes to that
[04:45:19] <AzumaHazuki> a mutual friend will take her in
[04:45:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> right, and you'll have heaped an unbearable shitload of pain on her.
[04:46:07] <AzumaHazuki> we've discussed this for years. she may decide to go out with me and i have enough for the two of us
[04:46:26] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[04:46:35] <AzumaHazuki> this is worst-case, mind you. things don't necessarily have to get to that point
[04:46:43] <AzumaHazuki> but i no longer care whether they do or not
[04:46:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're adults and i ain't gonna tell ya what to do.
[04:47:26] <AzumaHazuki> if we get to that point, the living are going to envy the dead in the resultant hellscape. until then, i will endure
[04:48:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i know i'm supposed to be all aghast and try desperately to talk you out of it. i've lived both sides of that shit though and the whiny emo fuckers saying that can eat a dick.
[04:49:47] <AzumaHazuki> you couldn't. this isn't being decided in the heat of the moment or the pit of despair, either; it's very clearheaded and logical
[04:50:00] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[04:50:11] <AzumaHazuki> if i'm going to die of starvation or violence anyway, forget that, i'm going to go out on my own terms
[04:50:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> so is major depression. that's why it's so dangerous.
[04:50:43] <AzumaHazuki> deciding this made the depression mostly lift. the insane doses of magnesium and vitamin c did the rest
[04:50:50] <AzumaHazuki> i like to have plans, is all
[04:51:11] -!- Sulla_ [Sulla_!~18153d4f@h-83-92-68-69.hsd3.or.comcast.net] has joined #soylent
[04:51:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, like my zombie plan then
[04:51:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> i plan to get bit and start eating tasty, tasty brains. save all that effort of finding food, gas, and ammo.
[04:52:04] <carny> i thought high doses of magnesium were super bad for your cartilage
[04:52:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> good for bicycle frames though
[04:52:27] <AzumaHazuki> 1000mg daily at most should be fine, and i plan to taper down to 500 once repleted
[04:52:53] <AzumaHazuki> oh wow, the whole sockpuppet brigade's out on my journal now! ACs, banked upmods, the whole works. Boy did I piss someone off
[04:53:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> not seeing it. only a few mods there at all.
[04:54:14] <AzumaHazuki> Jeez, I had no idea I triggered so many people so hard
[04:54:40] <AzumaHazuki> Should do this kind of thing more often. Pure statistics says some of them will drop dead of cerebral aneurysm
[04:54:43] * TheMightyBuzzard wasn't triggered
[04:55:02] * TheMightyBuzzard just likes minor corrections cause he's pedantic like that
[04:55:30] <AzumaHazuki> you weren't, but check out some of the responses. the ones going all-in for "hurr hurr do comedy" (twice), Runaway himself going for the low blow sexuality attack...
[04:55:51] <AzumaHazuki> if i ever develop a taste for actual trolling...
[04:56:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, i don't read most of the comments. specially the long ones.
[04:57:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> that wasn't pinchy posting both the comedy ones though. or at least if it was he put forth the effort to make it non-bloody-obvious
[04:57:09] <AzumaHazuki> the long one is the best! someone got so annoyed they copypasta'd some ammosexual wank fantasy from start to finish
[04:57:25] <AzumaHazuki> i almost said lock stock and barrel but that's a biiiiiiit on the nose here
[04:57:43] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[04:58:03] <AzumaHazuki> someone ought to tell that lot in Virginia that clustering all together with arms presented is terrible tactics
[04:58:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah. it needed doing even if it does present an inviting target.
[04:59:08] <AzumaHazuki> you know, there are hotels and conference centers for this kind of thing. cosplay and LARP I mean
[04:59:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh it ain't larp. it's deadly serious.
[04:59:38] <AzumaHazuki> I know. It's deadly serious LARP
[05:01:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> really, really is not. firearms are part of what makes america america. there are a LOT of people here who will under no circumstances allow that right to be taken from us and the folks up there needed reminding of that.
[05:01:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> now the dress up? yeah, that's silly.
[05:01:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> still better than parachute pants though.
[05:01:53] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, it sure makes america america. much mass shooting. such homicide. so violence. wauw.
[05:02:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> our violence rate isn't high. neither is our murder rate.
[05:02:17] <Cascade> At lest we still have pointy knoives though
[05:02:25] <AzumaHazuki> that's nawt a knoife...
[05:02:36] <AzumaHazuki> this is a knoife
[05:02:59] <Cascade> Mick Dundee sayit again
[05:03:54] * Cascade sets rhyme mode to lame
[05:03:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya know that clubs, bats, knives, hands and feet are each individually responsible for more deaths in the US every year than rifles? guns ain't the problem now and never have been. people are.
[05:04:22] <AzumaHazuki> so, now that our cosplayer friends are locked and loaded...when are they going to water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants like they keep saying?
[05:04:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> if the idjit in the VA governor's mansion decides to push it that far? yes.
[05:05:23] <AzumaHazuki> i would honestly love to see them try. guns are nice and all, i have my .22, but they're...kinda not that useful against tanks?
[05:05:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> who's gonna drive the tanks? the guard won't follow his orders.
[05:06:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> and trump won't order the national military to help
[05:06:23] <AzumaHazuki> maybe, maybe not. congress might override him, someone might try something on their own...
[05:06:42] <AzumaHazuki> i almost think this lot ought to get exactly what they're wishing for, except it'd take me down in the ensuing backwash
[05:06:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> congress CAN'T override him. he is the commander in chief of the military and there's nothing they can do about that.
[05:07:17] <AzumaHazuki> he'd be the CiC of a very divided one, suddenly. it would be interesting to watch, from a safe distance
[05:07:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> they can tell him you can't go have a war in $foo but they can't force him to attack anything he doesn't want to
[05:08:47] <AzumaHazuki> your faith in the command structure is endearing :) Darling, when "civil unrest" hits the fan to the point the military gets involved, infighting will rip it apart
[05:09:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, i'll be in VA if it comes to that. i doubt it will though and i'm not interested in protesting in the balls cold. or when i could be napping. or when i could be fishing.
[05:09:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'what i'm saying. the military will not get involved
[05:09:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> if he feels like it, old ducky can activate the VA guard and yoink them out from under the governor.
[05:09:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> which'd be pretty hilarious
[05:10:06] <AzumaHazuki> some of these boys, and by god it is almost entirely boys, seem to want to burn it all down
[05:10:16] <AzumaHazuki> what do you do against a bunch of nihilists like that?
[05:10:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> ain't nihilism if the alternative is worse
[05:11:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> me, i figure dude's playing it so he can get some violence to happen at a protest and use that for some political blah blah or other.
[05:11:46] <AzumaHazuki> do you understand what a disorganized takedown of the US government would imply?
[05:11:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean he can't possibly believe folks would allow him to disarm them, can he?
[05:12:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> VA government not US. difference is large.
[05:12:25] <AzumaHazuki> as if there wouldn't be a ripple effect
[05:12:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> and trump would let VA hang
[05:12:57] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, he would. unwise move, but it's not like he's ever been known for good decision making. fuck, he lost money owning casinos
[05:12:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh there would. no other state would try what VA tried for a long, long time.
[05:13:38] <AzumaHazuki> how simplistic...if you think that kind of thing would just end with everyone being quiet and "chastened" you're delusional
[05:13:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, that's exactly what he should do. the alternative is allowing a full scale civil war in VA. far less wise.
[05:14:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think it would scare the fuck out of them
[05:14:15] <AzumaHazuki> some of the boys in ill-fitting camo seem to want civil war
[05:14:33] <AzumaHazuki> to the point i would not be at all surprised if one of them false-flags something
[05:14:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> either side is likely to try that
[05:15:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> dems are pretty fucking rabid over guns lately
[05:15:18] <AzumaHazuki> man, what a stupid way to end a nation...
[05:15:40] <AzumaHazuki> not with a bang, not with a whimper, but with a long drawn out wet beer-shart of pure stupidity
[05:15:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> just virginia. relax. don't make a mountain out of a molehill.
[05:16:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> honestly, it's probably an organized DNC test run for gun confiscation in general.
[05:16:25] <AzumaHazuki> ... o_O you actually believe that?
[05:16:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> probably not definitely.
[05:17:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> and yes. democrats are every bit that authoritarian.
[05:17:08] <AzumaHazuki> man. i need to join the peace corps and "disappear" somewhere in Costa Rica or something
[05:17:27] <AzumaHazuki> this country's gone nuttier than squirrel bawbags
[05:18:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> ask the folks at wounded knee or 30s germany what's really going on when the government tries to disarm you
[05:19:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> has nothing to do with any safety except that of the authoritarians
[05:20:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> mostly though, i'm giving them credit for being smart enough to try it on a small scale and see what happens before trying it nationally
[05:20:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> nicotine++ # smoke break
[05:20:57] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 754
[05:22:38] <AzumaHazuki> the stupid thing is, i might be on their side if they weren't wrong about literally everything else
[05:22:51] <AzumaHazuki> these same people are all for the worst of the GOP's authoritarian regressive bullshit
[05:25:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> so? politics ain't a package deal. you can agree on one issue and disagree on others.
[05:26:41] <AzumaHazuki> they're wrong about too much else, and what they're wrong about will undo any progress they'd make with this
[05:27:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> but if ya wanna know why i actually believe that the dems do want to repeal the 2a and confiscate all guns, it's because so many of them flat out say so. including one of their presidential candidates.
[05:27:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> not all of them of course but far too many in positions of power.
[05:28:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> support the issue without supporting the platform then. ain't difficult.
[05:28:38] -!- spiraldancing [spiraldancing!~spiraldan@guox-44-64-34-18.catv.broadband.hu] has joined #soylent
[05:29:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> like i support dems on legalizing pot n shit and oppose a whole shitload of the rest of their platform
[05:30:15] <AzumaHazuki> as a carrier myself, i of course don't support ending the second amendment. what i do support is closing the fucking loopholes and registering every firearm out there
[05:30:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm undecided on gay marriage. the bastard in me says legalize it cause they shouldn't get a pass on messy divorces but the nice guy in me says don't cause that'd be cruel and unusual punishment.
[05:31:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> that would be repealing the 2a. if you have to ask permission, it's a privilege not a right.
[05:32:33] <AzumaHazuki> do something about the abuses of 1a, 4a, 5a, arguably 8a, and for fuck's sake 9a, 10a, and 14a
[05:32:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> happily.
[05:33:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> with great enthusiasm even
[05:33:10] <AzumaHazuki> i want to see protests of this size over the end-run around THOSE amendments
[05:33:19] <AzumaHazuki> 4a especially
[05:34:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> too easy go ignore. can't get folks worked up as easily because the lines have been being blurred for centuries not decades.
[05:35:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> you find a group actually seriously working to strengthen the constitution though, let me know and i'll donate to the cause.
[05:35:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> mostly we just have douchepickles who pay lip service to it and then fuck you as soon as you turn your back
[05:35:58] <Sulla_> Conservatives fall for the "well i don't have to worry about the 1st, 4th, 5th, because if they push too far we have the 2nd"
[05:36:07] <AzumaHazuki> yyyyyyup
[05:36:09] <chromas> shitpost incoming https://i.imgur.com
[05:36:16] <Sulla_> meanwhile they erode all of them and by the time they come for the 2nd there is nothing left to save
[05:36:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, is there a cat or a naked chick in that?
[05:37:28] <chromas> I'll say yes just to get you to click it
[05:37:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> for some reason i'm finding myself skeptical
[05:38:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> me, i like the amendments we have and think they should be adjudicated in favor of individual liberty every single time.
[05:39:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> if most folks want them to mean something else, they need to change them with another amendment.
[05:40:54] <AzumaHazuki> the fewest rules up front does not translate into the most liberties. this is why i'll always favor the GPL over the BSD license
[05:41:11] <AzumaHazuki> at this point it's maliciously stupid, or malicious and perfectly well-informed, not to understand that
[05:43:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> irrelevant. adjudicating them in favor of the individual if there is any doubt is the way it should be done because they are prohibitions on the government. if the nation really believes they need changed, there's a method laid out for doing that. if they can't get the necessary support then the nation does not want it badly enough for it to change.
[05:44:15] <AzumaHazuki> this assumes the populace is all well-informed and has enough free time to effect said change, and that our elected representatives will listen to us
[05:45:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, angry will do in place of informed wisdom.
[05:46:28] <Sulla_> That is why Jefferson thought we needed a revolution every few decades. Existance of a standing military makes government accountability impossible
[05:46:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean, ask either major party. it's their first play in the playbook.
[05:47:04] <AzumaHazuki> the US model is broken. we need something closer to Canada, or a theoretical federation of Nordic states
[05:47:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> no it don't. we have more than ten times as many armed civilians than we do armed military AND police.
[05:48:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> and you can't very well go around using the really good weapons or you break the infrastructure you need if you like to eat and have power and shit.
[05:49:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, just elect me emperor. i'll appoint you imperial pain in my ass and let you follow me around arguing with me.
[05:49:46] <AzumaHazuki> hell no, other way around. elect me empress
[05:50:11] <Sulla_> Succession never works
[05:50:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah. you WOULD burn shit to the ground.
[05:50:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> except during fishing trips. politics during fishing trips is required to be non-serious and humorous.
[05:50:42] <AzumaHazuki> not unless there was really no alternative. what i want to do, actually, is a massive infrastructure jobs project
[05:50:44] <Sulla_> You might get a Augustus or the five good emperors on occasion, but mostly you get Neroes and Caligulas
[05:51:08] <AzumaHazuki> this would solve a lot of issues at a stroke: low employment, the college degree being a barrier to entry, power, water...
[05:51:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> you get a lot more angry than i do, chicky babe. catch you on the wrong day and you're likely to have protesters shot.
[05:52:07] <AzumaHazuki> Angry doesn't necessarily mean violent or sociopathic
[05:52:14] <AzumaHazuki> this says more about you than me
[05:52:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> true but it's damned sure got a lot of shared space on the venn
[05:53:00] <AzumaHazuki> I'd be the outlier here. really, i just want to build infrastructure and get the US off dependence on foreign countries
[05:53:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> sounds good. specially oil.
[05:54:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> i reserve the right to put 100% gasoline in my car though. it loses like 25% of its fuel efficiency using the "up to 10% ethanol"
[05:54:20] <AzumaHazuki> good grief, yes. thorium fission, thermal-concentrating solar (the one with mirrors and a giant tank of molten salt), wind...and mixed facilities. desalinization plants coupled directly to the power plants
[05:55:25] <AzumaHazuki> ...LOL, just remembered playing simcity 2000 in 5th grade. I remember making a long ridge of hydropower plants and putting a sign on it that said "Dam Strait"
[05:55:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> should put some of the plants in mexico. stem some border pressure if there are good jobs to be had there.
[05:56:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> ha!
[05:56:38] <AzumaHazuki> I'd always had a weirdly adult sense of humor as a kid. snarky, dry sarcasm and pithy puns like that
[05:57:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> thas why i was a nafta fan btw. canada was irrelevant but mexico's economy picking up makes more consumers down there for our goods and less of them coming up here for our wages.
[05:57:20] <Sulla_> never really played simcity, couldn't break away from civilization one and two
[05:58:25] <AzumaHazuki> Canada may become very relevant indeed in a few decades. if the grain belt shifts north far enough for example
[05:58:53] <AzumaHazuki> russia may also end up a world superpower by virtue of farming over huge tracts of what used to be frozen Siberian tundra
[05:59:07] <Sulla_> If they can hold the land
[05:59:22] <AzumaHazuki> this will lead to a natural china/russia alliance, rather than a fight, if you ask me.
[05:59:32] <Sulla_> China has been pulling a crimea on eastern russia
[05:59:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> kinda like why you don't want to build a mansion next to a double wide. poor folks will absolutely take your shit.
[06:00:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're saying they have HUGE... tracts of land?
[06:00:50] <Sulla_> but TMB, the chinese will claim they don't want all that
[06:01:16] <AzumaHazuki> yes, the coming world will certainly be...interesting. i wonder what i'll suffer to see it
[06:01:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> i say china kicks the shit out of russia without the russians even knowing it until it's too late. they're fucking wily and good at playing the long game.
[06:02:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, you've already suffered reality tv and jj abrams making star wars movies. it can't get much worse.
[06:02:36] <AzumaHazuki> if it gets to be too much i can put an end to it. that gives me power to keep going until then
[06:03:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> you could always become a drunk. or a pot head. plenty of folks out there happy to instruct you on chemical ways of making life less cocktastic.
[06:05:02] <AzumaHazuki> i'm straight edge. reducing my mindfulness has never appealed
[06:05:35] <AzumaHazuki> that and the one time i had a can of four loko i apparently stumbled in at 2 AM, slept 12 hours, blasphemed at the sun in Finnish, and slept 6 more
[06:06:32] <Sulla_> the sky tyrant deserves to be blasphemed
[06:06:53] <AzumaHazuki> perrrrrrrrrrrrrkele!
[06:07:18] <AzumaHazuki> apparently that and a bunch more. my younger brother says, anyway
[06:07:53] <inz> You know things aren't right, when one needs to fall back to finnish for cuss words
[06:08:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> pot would be your thing then. everything gets funnier and boredom becomes not a thing. you still get stupider but it's more of a harmless stupid that you don't mind at all.
[06:08:52] <AzumaHazuki> i got high once. i ate an entire bag of chips, all 850 calories of them, and just sat there like a rock for an hour. felt so gross and stupid after
[06:09:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'why god created video games
[06:09:35] <AzumaHazuki> my sister was a big pothead and i don't like what it does to her
[06:09:46] <AzumaHazuki> she's got our father's temper but none of his introspection
[06:10:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, potheads annoy the shit out of me too if i have to be around them. being on it is an entirely different point of view though.
[06:11:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> like i won't let TR play joe rogan podcasts around me anymore unless it's sober october. i had of enough stoned idiots in highschool
[06:11:15] <Sulla_> Is why I hated highschool. All day everday was nothing but the smell of pot. Is that just a west coast thing?
[06:11:32] <AzumaHazuki> must be. i was in the bronx and never smelled it there
[06:11:39] <Sulla_> In my graduating class it was only me and the weird mormon kid that escaped never having done pot or alcohol
[06:11:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> you kidding? pot was OK's #1 cash crop when i was a kid.
[06:14:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> put anything that will numb physical or mental discomfort around folks who's po or work hard every day and it'll get used like your girlfriend's little sister
[06:15:11] <AzumaHazuki> my "drug" is yuri manga i suppose
[06:15:45] <Sulla_> got hooked on Runescape in 2001 and still cant kick it
[06:16:14] <AzumaHazuki> hm, and maybe cat videos?
[06:16:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> catvideos++
[06:16:29] <Bender> karma - catvideos: 1
[06:16:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> maru++
[06:16:32] <Bender> karma - maru: 1
[06:16:40] <AzumaHazuki> someday, if this world ever stabilizes and i have the money, i'm going to go adopt a black cat from the shelter no one wants
[06:17:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> shit, cats is easy to get for free. can be kinda expensive if you get wound up over them like i do though.
[06:18:08] <Sulla_> Cats are the kind of animal that just show up one day and never leave
[06:18:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> i swear, the last cat i had got more spent on her medical over her life span than i did over the same time by quite a lot.
[06:20:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> well shit. it's after midnight. it's gonna be balls cold tomorrow too though, so i'm not church working and can sleep till sunrise at least.
[06:20:51] <AzumaHazuki> late shift tomorrow. thank goodness. i am a night owl
[06:22:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> plenty of maru the box-obsessed cat to keep you occupied while i sleep then: https://www.youtube.com

[09:08:11] <aristarchus> janirok's explanation of the disappeared subs is not at all convincing. #Freearistarchus!!
[09:11:24] <janrinok> Convincing, maybe not to you, but it is truthful. I merged then deleted.
[09:19:51] <aristarchus> I will believe this when bytram has confirmed. He is the only ed with any cred.
[09:29:49] <janrinok> I honestly don't care whether or not you believe me, or would prefer confirmation from another editor or $DEITY or your choice. They were deleted by me. That is why you cannot see them.
[09:30:37] <FatPhil> only because you got there first!
[09:30:43] <janrinok> lol
[09:30:46] <aristarchus> Oh, I can see them! As can everyone else in the journal. But they are still listed as "accepted" on my display. Curious.
[09:32:08] <janrinok> so you got the points but they were not published. What exactly is your complain again? You have already put them in your blog - which is exactly where they should have gone in the first instance - you got credited with the karma, and I've told you that I have deleted them.
[09:32:30] <janrinok> s/complain/complaint/
[09:32:31] <exec> <janrinok> so you got the points but they were not published. What exactly is your complaint again? You have already put them in your blog - which is exactly where they should have gone in the first instance - you got credited with the karma, and I've told you that I have deleted them.
[09:33:04] <aristarchus> Points mean nothing to me, I am a philosopher, a lover of wisdom. I want SN to be a bit wiser. That's all.
[09:33:35] <janrinok> you are an idiot who pretends - or perhaps even believes - that he is a dead Greek
[09:34:12] <aristarchus> And now you speculate about things of which you have no knowledge. Not a good quality, in an editor.
[09:35:18] <janrinok> true - I cannot possibly know that you are an idiot, but you continually provide me with evidence in your attempt to prove it.
[09:36:39] <aristarchus> It is only a heuristic, a teaching method, for those who are blinded by partisanship that they cannot see. I have been extremely patient with you, janrinok!
[09:37:04] * janrinok would tremble if he could stop laughing
[09:37:32] <aristarchus> Ah, a teachable moment, at last!
[09:38:27] <janrinok> well, I can only hope you finally learn something from it
[09:39:06] <chromas> Are we oppressing ari today? I thought that was scheduled for Thursday
[09:39:34] <janrinok> we had to shift it round because Ari received karma points that he does not want
[09:40:04] <janrinok> I've pencilled someone else in for Thursday now
[09:40:08] <chromas> Can we send them over to rDT or something to keep the balance in the force?
[09:42:02] <FatPhil> Tuesday's taunting, Wednesday's winding up, not sure what we're doing with him on Thursday.
[09:42:27] <aristarchus> “In vain do the gods themselves fight against stupidity.”
[09:42:53] <janrinok> but we keep trying even though your case is a difficult one
[09:43:05] <FatPhil> they underestimated the supidity, stupid gods.
[09:44:06] <aristarchus> It's been a pleasure, gentlepersons. And I use that term loosely.
