[00:55:15] <c0lo> AzumaHazuki, they won't get to burn it all down. They aren't smart enough and, with Twitterer-in-chief no longer given special treatment, they don't even have a way to sustain their suicidal enthusiams even on short term.
[00:56:19] <AzumaHazuki> all they need to do is infiltrate a few protests, burn a few high-value targets, and blame "Antifa"
[00:56:29] <AzumaHazuki> i don't think most people understand how fragile the US is right now
[00:56:57] <AzumaHazuki> not to mention, Trump and company still have a couple of months of power to do heaven knows what to hell knows whom with

[00:59:20] <AzumaHazuki> i am so fucking sick of all this. the damage that orange madman and his cronies did will take 50 years to fix at the most optimistic estimate.
[00:59:39] <AzumaHazuki> and his followers and supporters are batshit. i don't get how any reasoning, thinking human being could degenerate to this
[00:59:53] <c0lo> (they may have been self-isolated to other platforms but, if doings so, there's less risk of infection)
[01:01:13] <c0lo> Silverlining: any fresh start has seeds for a better end. Not that I expect to see them, but younger generation have the work cut up for them.

[01:03:34] <AzumaHazuki> yeah. i don't fancy their chances OR ours
[01:04:20] <AzumaHazuki> with any luck all the frothy RWNJs self-deport to Gab and Parler and 8Kun where the feds can keep an eye on them, anyway
[01:04:32] <aristarchus_> Better than invading Mongols, or Huns, or Germans, for that matter. Things will get better, Haruki-chan.
[01:04:48] <c0lo> Ummmm... about 4 weeks ago, there were some big farts about a laptop from hell. Someone still remember what was about? </rethorical_mode>
[01:05:55] <c0lo> (do you think Trump's former base have memories longer than goldfish's?)
[01:07:34] <AzumaHazuki> yes. they're still flying the confederate flag and bitching about losing the civl war. which, like the trump admin, was a 4 year long clusterfuck that killed americans needlessly
[01:08:05] <c0lo> Those are not memories, those are traditions. Folklore.
[01:08:36] <AzumaHazuki> same shit. tradition is to memory what your grandma's heirloom china today is to what it was when she was eating her supper off it
[01:09:11] <c0lo> Teach them useful skills, give a sense to their life, one that is not rooted in the American Dream and you get rid of them.
[01:09:56] <c0lo> Making education cheap (if not free) would be a wonderful start. Just keep an eye on "Teach the controversy".
[01:10:37] <c0lo> "Teaching to the test" is also a danger, but smaller than the "controversy".
[01:10:40] <AzumaHazuki> can't help who doesn't want to be helped :/ i agree with you, but some people will ride a grudge straight to Hell like Slim Pickens on the bomb
[01:11:09] <c0lo> They'll die. Slowly but surely.

[17:41:14] <kyonko> its hexchat on opensuse
[17:41:19] <kyonko> i don't like mate
[17:41:53] <Bytram> last prior time I used Linux it was Redhat 6 -- came on a CD
[17:42:03] <kyonko> oh well
[17:42:07] <Bytram> used it on Celeron 400 MHz
[17:42:11] <kyonko> i don't remember my last linux usage

[22:47:21] * TheMightyBuzzard tips his hat to Runaway1956_
[22:48:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, why i'm sure there has been rests primarily on how they played silly buggers with vote count observers, even violating a court order to do so.
[22:49:09] <AzumaHazuki> uh-huh
[22:49:36] <AzumaHazuki> desperate little trumpsucker, you are. face it, even with all the ratfucking and shitting all over minorities, he still lost
[22:49:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'not a secret. google it unless you're afraid of having your narrative squashed.
[22:49:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> you can't hide court orders
[22:50:21] <AzumaHazuki> Again: it won't be my problem in a year or so. I got what I wanted, which is a 2-year margin of safety
[22:51:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> her: you're full of shit *flings poo* me: facts, check them. her: whatever
[22:51:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> this is why you're ceasing to be fun to argue with
[22:52:31] <AzumaHazuki> times like these i wish IRC supported the something awful forums' emoticons
[22:52:42] <AzumaHazuki> because if there were ever time and a place for :fap: this is it 9_9
[22:53:04] <AzumaHazuki> but hey, if i'm boring you so hard you can, y'know, not respond :)
[23:01:39] <Runaway1956_> It's pretty obvious that Dominion can flip a state with the flip of a switch by now
[23:01:43] <c0lo> TheMighthyBuzzard, "her: you're full of shit *flings poo* me: facts, check them. her: whatever" - why should one bother checking when her taxes pay for judges to do the job they trained for?
[23:02:39] <c0lo> Besides, what is to argue about, be it only for fun?
[23:04:21] <c0lo> 'Zumi, just play safe with covid, you never know how much time you actually bought.
[23:06:43] <AzumaHazuki> i don't exactly have that option. i work in a hospital and two floors are full of covid patients. pharmacy tech i may be but i also have to deliver meds to the central med rooms
[23:07:16] <AzumaHazuki> ...and because this is America, no benefits until January. if I get the 'rona before then and they don't do something to help i'mma cough in the CEO's face
[23:07:59] <AzumaHazuki> so...just going to keep taking my vitamins, try to get enough sleep, eat well (THAT at least is working, I'm holding steady at 127-128lb), and try not to stress too much over it
[23:13:29] <FatPhil> n.d. rose tea with local honey.
[23:15:09] <c0lo> FatPhil... local New York honey? I might be tempted to pass.
[23:15:29] <FatPhil> just came back from a wine bar, and disapointed to see a total lack of bitching here?
[23:16:02] <c0lo> LOS(ilently)
[23:17:03] <FatPhil> c0lo: upstate NY could have some actual flowers and real pollinators

[23:18:25] <c0lo> Just a few days ago I was surprised how good is to live in a country where the hottest point of discussions of the day was the bonk ban.
[23:22:02] <c0lo> In my youth, the best old-wives treatment for colds was hot wine with honey and cinnamon. In a pinch, only the first ingredient woul suffice, if you didn't have the latest two at hand.
[23:25:19] <AzumaHazuki> shot of vodka with black pepper. kill everything inside, as Boris says
[23:25:33] <AzumaHazuki> if it doesn't cure the cold, at least you won't give a damn for a couple of hours
[23:26:29] <FatPhil> just watched /The Last Leg/, and the bonk ban got a mention (the main host is .au-ian)
[23:28:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> c0lo, arguing IS fun when you have someone worth arguing with. you either learn something or you win a hard fought victory.
[23:29:51] <FatPhil> I decided to not get into an argument with the staff at the wine bar. I warned them that one of the bottles (they have one of those fancy Argon pumped dispenser systems) tasted of bile and vomit, and the response was "it's organic".
[23:30:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, i'm deeply disappointed that chicks with easter egg colored hair aren't even remotely as cool as they were in the 80s. punk chicks were superior in every way to bitchy little college girls.
[23:30:48] <FatPhil> I did my "when i judge in brewing competitions, that flavour would be considered a flaw" line, and they said "but wine is different".
[23:31:51] <FatPhil> TheMightyBuzzard: I grew up in the original punk days, I remember all the shapes and colours. I still think it's cool when punks have that nowadays, but to be honest, many of the people sporting that look don't have a gram of punk in their bodies.
[23:31:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> c0lo, my grandpa's remedy was bourbon, menthol crystals, and honey.
[23:32:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> truth. poseurs one and all. elbow them in the face in the pit and they'd twitter about you being a nazi.
