[02:45:26] * TheMightyBuzzard wanders back off
[02:48:06] <AzumaHazuki> the one in the link. also, again, your journal entry "That Didn't Take Long" is the "fake news" in question. i count about half a dozen posts telling you as much and pointing out the correction

[04:45:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, i'll look at it tomorrow. tr's kids are more interesting than the internet but they don't get up as early as i do on sundays.
[04:46:19] <AzumaHazuki> you're dreading this
[04:46:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> not really. being misinformed ain't much of a slight on me.
[04:47:28] <AzumaHazuki> god knows if it were you'd be completely unable to function...
[04:48:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> re: spam mod... copy pasta has always been eligible for spam mods. even if it's hilarious, brilliant, or everyone loves it for some other reason.
[04:49:27] <AzumaHazuki> oh fuck that noise, it's densely informative and completely on point
[04:49:49] <AzumaHazuki> does the formatting suck, yes, but there's just so much awful shit to unpack that the mess is inevitable
[04:49:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> and it says nothing new from the last time it was said.
[04:50:03] <AzumaHazuki> if that were a crime, you'd need to ban yourself
[04:50:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> it doesn't matter if it's the most brilliant comment ever made. if it's the exact same comment in multiple places by the same person, it's spam.
[04:50:46] <AzumaHazuki> so if he changes one character it's not? what makes it spam vs not spam?
[04:51:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> believe me when i say you do not want me making value judgments on comment moderation. arbitrary rules are your friend there.
[04:51:55] <AzumaHazuki> don't give me that horseshit. that's not spam for any reason other than you don't like it and it's big and ugly
[04:52:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope, all copy pasta modded such gets the same treatment.
[04:53:08] <AzumaHazuki> this smells terrible. the content bothers you and the placement is what gets to you. plus that AC is likely the same person calling your journal out
[04:53:27] <AzumaHazuki> speaking of which, either edit that entry or delete it; it's willfully misleading
[04:53:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope. i don't give a damn what it says at all. i didn't even read it except to verify in a few places it was the same comment.
[04:54:35] <AzumaHazuki> so what counts as changing a post enough to make it "not the same content?"
[04:54:44] <AzumaHazuki> does he have to change one letter, one word, one sentence...?
[04:54:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> for future reference: the easiest way to get me to not read a comment of yours at all is to make it a huge wall of text.
[04:55:07] <AzumaHazuki> i didn't post that one, though i sure as hell did upmod it
[04:55:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> hasn't come up until you asked.
[04:55:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> i know, that was just advice if you don't want me arguing on a particular thread
[04:56:11] <AzumaHazuki> one more time: what would this guy (assuming here) have to do to alter said post so it wouldn't be "the same content?"
[04:56:28] <AzumaHazuki> how much would it need to be changed so he could post the same information without it getting Spam modded?
[04:56:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> off hand i'd say if more than half of it if identical content, the mod's legit. warrants staff discussion though at the least.
[04:57:30] <AzumaHazuki> now by identical do you mean string-literal identical, or just "the sense of it?"
[04:57:53] <AzumaHazuki> be very, very careful how you answer this, or it gives me carte blanche to Spam mod every post of yours where you go "nope, fuck you" in various different ways
[04:57:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> if he wanted to put a link to the original comment in at the bottom of a new, original comment, that'd be peachy keen.
[04:58:29] <AzumaHazuki> Ah, that's the bunny. Now, that could be partial censorship as people are less likely to click links...
[04:58:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> actual copy pasta not similar meaning. otherwise i'd have done the same to you =P
[04:58:57] <AzumaHazuki> unlike you, i don't automatically retreat to "fuck you because fuck you, la la la not listening, i'm the best 'cause i say i am"
[04:59:09] <AzumaHazuki> there is no comparison
[04:59:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> no but you do have a penchant for repetitive comments. mostly about folks you've decided to send to hell.
[05:00:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> anyway though, it's literal characters or homoglyphs.
[05:00:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> homoglyphs because "Don't be a wiseass"
[05:01:11] <AzumaHazuki> hey, *I* don't decide to send anyone to hell
[05:01:43] <AzumaHazuki> they will "send" themselves (which is to say, on the death of their physical shells, any place is effectively hell, because they are punishing/being punished by themselves)
[05:02:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> either way, i'm bloody exhausted after having to walk constantly while fishing all day to keep warm. i'll look at the journal entry tomorrow.

[14:53:11] <Runaway1956> I could work with it . . .
[15:01:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, fake headline. no vampires at all in tfa.

[15:01:31] <Bender> karma - coffee: 5088
[15:01:59] <Runaway1956> was referring to 'lost boys of Ukraine', not a vampire story
[15:12:51] <FatPhil> why does this really really wind me up? "co²"
[15:13:24] <janrinok> it means coco - perhaps they are clowns?
[15:13:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> No, that would be (co)²
[15:13:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> co² is coo
[15:13:56] <Runaway1956> Maybe because you get co² from burning doobies?
[15:14:00] <janrinok> pigeons then...

[15:15:02] * Runaway1956 has to move appliances
[15:15:22] <AndyTheAbsurd> I kind of want to go get breakfast out somewhere
[15:15:28] <Runaway1956> the dryer has given up the ghost, Honey says, "Go up to the other house and get Mama's dryer."
[15:15:34] <AndyTheAbsurd> but I think everywhere is going to be too crowded. (It's 10 AM Sunday here.)
[15:15:39] <Runaway1956> I says, "But, it's Mama's dryer!"
[15:15:40] <AndyTheAbsurd> What should I do?
[15:15:55] <Runaway1956> her answer, "Mama hasn't used it in years, now go get it!"
[15:16:34] <Runaway1956> Andy, you should eat out - but I'm not naming names.
[15:17:14] <FatPhil> taco bell
[15:17:53] <Runaway1956> Taco Bell has become something of a staple at work - it's the only place open until 3:00 in the morning when we start getting hungry
[15:18:04] <FatPhil> I noticed there are a couple of Taco Bells in Helsinki now, I wonder where else they've expanded to. Didn't eat there, was too frightened given their reputation.
[15:18:40] <Runaway1956> Mehhhh - if you know and love real Mexican cooking, then Taco Bell sucks - otherwise, it's Okay
[15:20:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> Despite the reputation, I've never had digestive problems after eating Taco Bell.
[15:20:17] <Runaway1956> themightybuzzard - have you seen any catfish wearing 3D blasses
[15:20:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> And it is not great, but it tends to be cheap and hot and filling.
[15:20:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, no, as far as i can tell catfish all have perfect eyesight
[15:21:15] <Runaway1956> I guess it's a cuttlefish problem then.
[15:22:48] <FatPhil> we have real mexican and, even better, real peruvian, restaurants in town. Far better than the 'texmex' hybrid alternatives.
[15:23:21] <Runaway1956> Hmmm. That takes a little thought FatPhil
[15:23:40] <Runaway1956> TexMex may be a hybrid, but like Mexican food, it's a real thing, and it's good
[15:23:57] <Runaway1956> corporate offerings claiming to be TexMex aren't so good
[15:24:11] <Runaway1956> Like Taco Bell, it may be filling, but it ain't real
[15:24:17] <FatPhil> yeah, I'm not denying it's a thing, it's just the local ones are very cookie-cutter.
[15:25:05] <Runaway1956> Yeah, that's kinda what I mean, cookie cutter franchises that offer crappy to mediocre food
[15:25:44] <FatPhil> having said that, there's one texmex we do go to quite regularly, about once every month or so. mostly for fajitas, but sometimes steak.
[15:26:09] <Runaway1956> ?
[15:26:37] <Runaway1956> If they serve steak, it may be good
[15:42:22] * TheMightyBuzzard yawns
[15:42:22] * MrPlow flips a Skittle into TheMightyBuzzard's gaping mouth
[15:42:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, coffee ain't working today. my ass is dragging badly.
