[00:26:50] -!- AzumaHazuki has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
[00:26:58] <lld> I like how some people are screaming at Trump telling people to vote twice when they themselves claim electoral fraud is impossible
[00:27:03] <MarissaVanEck> man, the martyr complexes on a few of you people are ridiculous. face it, you're sold your souls and the bill is coming due sooner than you think...
[00:27:11] MarissaVanEck is now known as AzumaHazuki

[00:27:28] <requerdanos> uh, martyr soul complex? What did I miss?
[00:27:43] <guy_> martyr complexes are mostly a chick thing
[00:27:46] <lld> projection I guess
[00:27:52] <AzumaHazuki> requerdanos: these morons posting a bunch of links and pretending to be snarking and laughing when they're scared shitless
[00:28:00] <guy_> that's when your mother tells you of all the sacrifices she has made for you
[00:28:19] <requerdanos> Oh. I was mildly wondering about that but am (==should be) working on other stuff also right now
[00:28:42] <AzumaHazuki> it's been very educational, i have to say that. i'm actually kind of surprised how bad some people are going and how fast
[00:30:37] <requerdanos> What has been educational to me has been the trump polarization phenomenon.
[00:31:04] <lld> just turn off the news for a week and watch how crazy people act
[00:31:21] <requerdanos> there is a group of people who are pro-trump no matter what; everything he does is positive; everything negative he does is someone else's fault
[00:31:29] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, i'm seeing it right here on SN. Phoenix666 is the fastest case of deterioration i have ever, ever seen.
[00:31:46] <AzumaHazuki> to the point that i wonder if maybe he was always a piece of shit and this isn't a change so much as an unveiling

[00:31:53] <systemd> ^ 03Three teen suspects brutally attack elderly woman in carjacking, then die in car crash
[00:32:17] <requerdanos> To be honest, if people trumperize on SN, that doesn't bother me as much as people I know and live and work around trumperizing.
[00:32:37] <requerdanos> at least I don't maintain personal relationships to any degree with most soy lentils.
[00:32:44] <AzumaHazuki> well, yeah, same. but it's still frightening to watch.
[00:33:31] <requerdanos> I have a family member who believes the trump talking points as if they were literal, important truth
[00:33:48] <AzumaHazuki> i have to come to terms with the fact that a large chunk of my fellow Americans are morally insane, and that's the most charitable explanation, because the other one is that they are willfully evil
[00:34:07] <requerdanos> morally insane would explain it pretty well; never thought of it that way
[00:34:55] <AzumaHazuki> my fear is that that's too charitable though. that people know exactly what the fuck they're supporting and like it
[00:35:08] <requerdanos> To be fair I have a friend who literally believes the democrat talking points in a similar blind fashion.
[00:35:39] <AzumaHazuki> that's dumb, but it's dumb for the same reason believing infomercials is dumb, as opposed to why believing Mussolini is dumb
[00:35:43] <requerdanos> that friend seems less dangerous, somehow, though I know not to trust her conclusions.
[00:35:47] <lld> Trump has his faults, but the supporters disregard them because of how far off rails the media has gone
[00:35:58] <requerdanos> see? media's fault.
[00:36:06] <lld> if the news says a thing 100% bad, I doubt it

[00:36:32] <guy_> Old sow thinks she is relevant
[00:36:33] <AzumaHazuki> gee, maybe if the news companies weren't all deregulated to shit and sold to entertainment conglomerates...
[00:37:04] <requerdanos> thing is, when you look at events and items individually, many are ~100% good or ~100% bad.
[00:37:05] <guy_> Wow, maybe I can agree with zoom-zoom?
[00:37:09] <AzumaHazuki> eesh, and you bitch about me being hateful? the way you talk about women is vomitous, runaway
[00:37:22] <lld> news has always been regulated media here, it doesn't solve anything
[00:37:31] <AzumaHazuki> between that and your violent homophobia it's almost a given at this point you like dick and hate yourself for it
[00:37:34] * guy_ waits for AzumaHazuki to realize that most of MSM is owned by leftist retards
[00:37:37] <lld> your organization can be shutdown for criticizing the government
[00:38:05] <requerdanos> well, that sucks.
[00:38:09] <guy_> the way you talk about men is equally vomitous - try to be civil
[00:38:10] <AzumaHazuki> Fox is leftists now? The Murdoch conglomerate is leftists? Establishment Democrats are leftists? WTAF.
[00:38:26] <lld> fox is left compared to what I've seen
[00:38:40] <guy_> Murdoch is the only major news that isn't progressive
[00:38:46] <lld> you can get let off for not following fox's talking points
[00:38:57] <lld> for being "too conservative"
[00:39:02] <AzumaHazuki> were you the guy on the forum who keeps posting about how he's from some Communist satellite? your diction and speech style is familiar
[00:39:04] <requerdanos> any trumpers here?
[00:39:52] <guy_> I'm anti-establishment-Joe which seems to make me a Trumper in some people's views
[00:39:54] <chromas> remember the trumpet boy meme? That was a lot more fun
[00:40:22] <requerdanos> guy_, do you support trump no matter what, I guess is the question.
[00:40:35] <AzumaHazuki> requerdanos: runaway will deny that he is, and say he's "making common cause" with a number of RWNJ groups. Warnings about lying down with dogs and getting up with fleas fall on deaf ears. the arrogant sack of lard actually thinks he's in control hre...
[00:40:38] <guy_> nope, hate the guy - just hate him less than most of the Dems
[00:41:18] <guy_> 'Zumi, you know how Bytram feels about you attacking members
[00:41:20] <requerdanos> I didn't ask you if you like him--don't know anyone who admits to liking him, not even nutjob trumpers with trump battle flags hanging off their pickup truck beer coolers
[00:41:43] <requerdanos> just curious do you support trump no matter what
[00:41:44] <guy_> I'm voting for JoJo I think - I'm not a Trumper
[00:41:49] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, and i give fewer fucks than Deadpool raw-dogging a rabid honey badger on the third consecutive day of a meth and PCP bender
[00:42:07] <AzumaHazuki> in case you are wondering, that is very few fucks
[00:42:09] <requerdanos> There is a real chance I may vote for JoJo
[00:42:17] <AzumaHazuki> the number, in fact, has to be measured in attofucks
[00:42:23] <chromas> The purple prose maximizer
[00:42:44] <AzumaHazuki> caffeine is a hell of a drug :D
[00:42:47] * guy_ thinks she is on autoabuse
[00:42:49] <lld> nah, I was never from a communist satellite
[00:42:55] <lld> communism is illegal
[00:42:56] <chromas> Drugs are a hell of a drug
[00:43:31] <chromas> guy_: you should'n't be autoabusing in the main channel; there could be kids watching
[00:43:46] <AzumaHazuki> i have no vices save for coffee, tea, and diet energy drinks. i took a blood test and was told there were alarming levels of urine in my caffeine sample
[00:43:49] <guy_> from Netflix: Fuck the kids!
[00:44:26] <lld> akshually the netflix show is there to raise awareness of how netflix is fucked up
[00:44:38] * guy_ agrees with lld
[00:45:05] <guy_> an adult who can keep his camera focused on a pre-pubescent girl's crotch for hours is definitely fucked up
[00:45:16] <requerdanos> caffeinated beverages are not, in my worldview, vices
[00:45:53] * guy_ agreees with requerdanos
[00:46:19] <guy_> clamping your body part in a vice hurts a helluva lot more than drinking a nice cup of coffee
[00:46:34] <chromas> same with reading Vice
[00:47:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> guy_, that's not from Netflix, that's from DC and Hollywood
[00:47:05] <AzumaHazuki> requerdanos: they're unnatural and i am brushing perilously close to the 350mg suggested limit daily. i cannot function properly without them any longer
[00:47:27] <AzumaHazuki> though having a consistent schedule NOT involving 7-day workweeks will help
[00:47:33] <lld> TheMightyBuzzard: right the whole media complex
[00:47:39] <requerdanos> caffeine and tea are *plants* that grow from mother earth; how is that unnatural? Genuinely curious
[00:47:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, suggested daily limits are for pansies
[00:47:44] <chromas> you'll just have to start chewing beans then; much more natural
[00:48:01] <requerdanos> that first word should be coffee, there, sorry, am currently on a diet mt. dew jag
[00:48:08] <AzumaHazuki> it's the concentration and distillation of them. the coca leaf is a plant too, but powder cocaine is never found in that state normally
[00:48:32] <requerdanos> I am not saying powder cocaine is natural, but coffee beans and tea leaves are.
[00:48:49] <chromas> There is a certain animal that extracts cocaine and snorts it though
[00:48:53] <AzumaHazuki> well, yes. and natural isn't always good (snake venom, arsenic. everyfuckingthing in Australia)
[00:49:07] <requerdanos> not saying they are natural as in "all natural things are good" but rather "natural things are not unnatrual, as you said they are"
[00:49:16] <AzumaHazuki> eh, fair enough
[00:49:23] <guy_> Australia is not natural
[00:49:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, shaved apes playing with things they don't understand very well ain't unnatural. weird and inadvisable, yeah.

[00:50:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> requerdanos, nobody does. i can poke at it till it works if it's broken though.
[00:51:10] * chromas invents the url lengthener
[00:51:12] <requerdanos> it's not broken, it's just the the vanity link advertised in the irc /motd is broken

[00:51:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> requerdanos, hadn't noticed. znc strips the motd for me.
[00:52:01] <chromas> It's fine. We only need chair jockeys to run the robot dogs and stuff now
[00:52:16] <chromas> No need for fit soldiers
[00:52:43] <requerdanos> you still need fit soldiers for building maintenance, yard work, that sort of thing

[00:55:38] * guy_ whistles chalantly
[00:55:38] <chromas> They're bloody. Of course they're delicious!
[00:55:39] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, my first thought was "can he make bone broth from these?"
[00:55:58] <guy_> probably covid broth
[00:56:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> can tell we're not canju. they wouldn't have asked.
[00:56:16] <AzumaHazuki> also note the gaslighting attempt here: runaway's unspoken agenda is "look at what this one deranged person who's anti-trump did! therefore everyone who opposes trump is the same!"
[00:56:46] <guy_> you heard that dogwhistle 'zumi? I never can.
[00:56:53] <AzumaHazuki> so drearily predictable, and so completely worthless...the people who would fall for that are already hooked, and it's not going to work on anyone else
[00:57:00] <requerdanos> see, it could merely be "some anti trump people are also nutjobs"
[00:57:04] <AzumaHazuki> hate to say this, but the RWNJ base is saturated
[00:57:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> guy_, you're old. high frequencies are the first to go
[00:57:32] <AzumaHazuki> well, yes, it COULD be. but having watched runaway's behavior for a couple of years and compared it to other nutjobs, i would say it's not
[00:58:13] <AzumaHazuki> if you want to do some real damage to the Biden camp, Mr. Runaway, you should start phone-banking for the GOP.

[01:00:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> requerdanos, same. i didn't figure he'd even show up to a debate or if he did he'd forget where he was in the middle of it.
[01:00:25] <requerdanos> it's because he's such an easy target, low-hanging orange fruit
[01:00:47] <AzumaHazuki> with any luck, all this will no longer be my problem in a year or so. no matter what happens, even if there is a three-branch blue landslide, i'm still going to try to leave

[01:02:23] <requerdanos> me too, and my spanish is a LOT better than my french
[01:02:35] <AzumaHazuki> i've lived in Wisconsin. The kind of cold they get in most of Ontario is actually less extreme
[01:02:49] <AzumaHazuki> people here in Buffalo warn me about the winters, hear that, and go "oh, nevermind"
[01:03:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, my folks moved there earlier this year. stepmom's from there. it is the suck cept for all the fishing holes.
[01:03:24] <AzumaHazuki> plus you can always bundle up in the cold, but you can only lose so much clothing in the heat before you start running into the law

[01:05:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> but the weather up there's had the same highs as TN this year. made me laugh since the old man went there to escape the OK heat.
[01:05:58] <AzumaHazuki> everything's shifting. i don't think i want to be in the US over the next 10-20 years. i've nearly died too many times as it is
[01:06:08] <AzumaHazuki> and too many friends did die. this place is a graveyard.

[13:10:03] <Bytram> yep! Formula 1 was bringing out a digital broadcast channel; I was part of a project which would automatically detect a specially-crafted sign along the race course (strictly from the video -- no instrumentation) and replace it with selected advertisements -- different ads could be substituted depending on when the race was being broadcast. E.g. Budwiser in USA, Kirin in Japan, etc.
[13:11:15] <lld> sounds about right
[13:11:31] <lld> now if it could live unperson someone :)
[13:11:32] <Bytram> I did the testing as well as operating the equipment at different race venues. Had a press pass and could walk pretty much anywhere I wanted to at the course; the paddock, stanks, pit row, whatever. :D

[13:12:28] <lld> the bank robber was unpersoned live, no video footage of him was ever uncovered during a daring heist
[13:13:34] <Bytram> this was before AGP graphics were a thing; had to use SGI workstations to have enough compute power to make it work... Indigo and later (IIRC) Octane.
[13:15:34] <Bytram> we use digital VCRs, digital delays, and a bunch of other equipment. we used about half a rack of equipment that prolly tallied up into the mid six-figures, *easy*
[13:16:50] * Bytram even got to take a drive around the Nurburgring short course (not at speed, of course) one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
[13:18:54] <lld> I wonder when F1 would allow an Open category
[13:19:13] <lld> no engine limitations, as long as the car stays grounded for at least 99% of the course
[13:20:14] <Bytram> doubt it will ever happen; speeds got too high to be safe... also, if active aerodynamics failed mid-race -- could get really "messy" really fast
