[00:15:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh there's no way they can get that deep
[00:16:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> the deepest roots we found were like 3' down and the drain pipe is 5'-11' down. so unless we plant something right on top and the taproot gets it, we're good.
[00:21:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, i'm out. food shat to do.

[00:35:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> gonna be a pretty late dinner but meh
[00:35:24] <chromas> Looks like we're all going to TheMightyBuzzard's tonight
[00:36:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> workers control the means of production. and we're damned picky about not feeding folks who don't contribute any work round these parts.

[00:37:35] <chromas> okay; I'll put the cheese on
[00:37:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> fair nuff. cmon over.
[00:38:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'more than the kids do most days. i should go find some tedious chores i don't wanna do and make them do them just so i feel better about not having to.
[00:40:08] <chromas> teach them to perl so they can hack on rehash
[00:43:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> i tried but i already taught them how to appreciate anime and video games
[00:44:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> so they learned some but then were like "bleh, this ain't as fun"
[00:47:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> huh, now that's interesting and narrative-breaking. re: R election lawsuits "Of the 22 cases that have been heard by the courts and decided on their merits, Trump and Republicans have prevailed in 15"

[01:15:31] <Bytram> Unstated, but implied there, is that all of those lawsuits applied to the same number of votes. So what if 200 lawsuits were won each affecting a single vote? What about losing lawsuits that would have affected (say) 10,000 votes??? That's not exactly right, but I think it should get the idea across.
[01:17:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, erm, no, read the preface. there's plenty of caveats that it means only what it means.
[01:18:26] <Bytram> Here's another approach: what about the 10 lawsuits the Dems did NOT file, because each one would affect only 30 votes? (i.e. 200 vs 300)
[01:19:01] <Bytram> I am NOT saying those are the case here...
[01:19:37] * TheMightyBuzzard rofls
[01:19:38] <Bytram> just suggesting that how something is phrased can easily MISlead to an implied conclusion.
[01:20:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> TR's boy just told me a joke
[01:20:32] <Bytram> Oh? I thot you were rofl'ing at what I'd just typed.

[01:21:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> i have such hope for the future with kids like him happy to get sent to the office for arguing with their teacher when they say something stupid
[01:22:13] <Bytram> It is unclear who said something stupid... the kid or the teacher.
[01:22:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> both usually. i've met very few teachers who had any business doing the job.
[01:22:52] <chromas> Doesn't matter. It's all zoom meetings now. Instead of getting sent to the principal's office, they just call the police.
[01:22:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> and teenaged boys kinda can't help it
[01:23:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> da hell was that commercial?

[01:26:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> i had like three good teachers, a bunch of mediocre ones, and several outright terrible ones.
[01:27:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> burgers! too slow, chromas
[01:27:14] <chromas> :'(
[01:29:04] <Bytram> nope. nope. but did have a teacher who taught that after primary filtration removed solid matter from sewerage, one need only let the effluent pass through, say, 20 feet of sand to make the water potable. To which I immediately tought, "What is I poured 5 or 10 gallons of bleach in that? Would you still want to drink it?"
[01:29:49] <Bytram> *thought *if
[01:29:58] * Bytram is sore and tired
[01:30:20] <chromas> Should've said it out loud
[01:31:44] <Bytram> as it was, I had to walk a fine line between (1) my joy of learning stuff (2) getting good grades (3) staying off teacher's "shit list" and (4) not standing out *TOO* much from my classmates.

[22:57:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> Teckla, believe it or not, no, that's not why it exists. it exists because snopes couldn't help themselves and kept "fact checking" articles from the babylonbee.com site which is entirely satire (think "fact checking" the onion), so they created a site that was entirely true but still ridiculous as a troll to snopes.
[22:58:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes, it's one-sided partisan but entertaining is its purpose not informing or discussing.
[23:12:57] <requerdanos> I am pretty sure single-minded purpose of hatred is neither the informing raison d'etre of npr, though with a different explanation.
[23:15:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, dunno. i do know the only way to get woke enough to not get ostracized is by excising your sense of humor though. if you only laugh at the stupid on one side, and you require it be mean-spirited, you do not have a sense of humor.
[23:16:55] <FatPhil> the problem is that people keep passing around bee articles as if they were true, and so they actually needed debunking. blame the idiots for evolving into a higher state of idiocy.
[23:17:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> pretty sure that's not an actual thing
[23:17:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> see above about lacking a sense of humor. the only way they can react is outrage, even if it has to be based on a lie.
[23:18:11] <requerdanos> Snopes fact-checks percolate up through its message boards, so it's likely to be an actual thing.
[23:18:38] <FatPhil> pretty sure it is a thing, as I've seen it.
[23:18:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> snopes also does things like "fact check" the fact that AOC was not in the capitol building as "mostly false"
[23:18:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> they give not a fuck about the truth
[23:19:09] <FatPhil> pretty much sure that the following are things I've seen needing to be debunked in the last couple of weeks:
[23:19:25] <FatPhil> biden is signing blank EOs ...
[23:19:39] <FatPhil> from within a fake oval office in a studio ...
[23:19:46] <FatPhil> whilst being in gitmo.
[23:20:29] <FatPhil> oh, after getting a rando plane painted in official colours to be a fake air force two.
[23:20:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> phil, that does not need debunked. anyone buying into that is plainly an idiot. it needs mocked not "fact checked"
[23:21:24] <requerdanos> mocking is out of scope for snopes, however.
[23:21:44] <FatPhil> nope, if it doesn;t get debunked, then people claim its truth
[23:21:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> you'd think they'd change that with as much mocking as they get
[23:22:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, you reckon the moon landing being fake needs fact checked?
[23:22:08] <requerdanos> and some people's information hygeine is so poor that there are, I'm sure, cases where that actually needs debunkerizing.
[23:22:18] <FatPhil> you appear completely oblivious to large proportions of the outside world and how they operate.
[23:22:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> or lizard people secretly ruling all the world's governments?
[23:22:30] <requerdanos> MOSTLY FALSE: Though most preparation happened on the ground, the actual landing was sited on the moon.
[23:22:39] <requerdanos> MOSTLY FALSE: Depends on what you mean by "lizard people"
[23:22:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> #smake requerdanos
[23:22:50] * MrPlow smakes requerdanos upside the head with a limp noodle
[23:22:53] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[23:24:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, no, really, most people are only moderately stupid not insanely stupid. it takes a lot of effort to remain on top of your stupid game and most folks just don't have the ambition.
[23:24:51] <FatPhil> you don't know how the game works, and you are pretending nobody's playing it. You simply don't know what you're talking about.
[23:25:16] <FatPhil> the moderately stupid need protecting from the professionally stupid.
[23:25:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, it doesn't.
[23:25:34] <FatPhil> It does. Consider yourself debunked.
[23:25:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> no fair, i debunked you first
[23:25:50] <FatPhil> Otherwise the problem gets worse.
[23:26:07] <FatPhil> But you came out with a position of pure ignorance.
[23:26:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, you're one of them "fake news is horrible and going to doom us all" folks
[23:26:55] <FatPhil> No.
[23:27:01] <requerdanos> "fake news is horrible for people with poor information hygeine and it's going to doom them to idiocy."
[23:27:01] <FatPhil> Now read this: https://www.amazon.com
[23:27:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> pretty sure you are
[23:28:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> you can't fix insanity with facts. it does not work that way.
[23:28:33] <FatPhil> Have you read the book already?
[23:28:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> an believing outrageous conspiracy theories out of reflex is fucking insane.
[23:28:42] <requerdanos> no, facts aren't a fix; they're just a stop-loss basically
[23:28:45] <FatPhil> Any actual criticisms of its content?
[23:29:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> fuck no. i'm not going to pay to listen to an idiot tell me something wrong.
[23:29:13] <FatPhil> More ignorance.
[23:29:19] <requerdanos> so your Internet connection is free?
[23:29:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, wisdom. i can get wrong all day for nothing.
[23:30:08] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: s/,//
[23:30:08] <SedBot> <Bytram> <TheMightyBuzzard> no wisdom. i can get wrong all day for nothing.
[23:30:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> requerdanos, internet is for cat videos and porn. arguing is just an unplanned, ancillary bit of serendipity.

[23:30:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> and also
[23:30:40] <FatPhil> You don't know the game, and pretend noone's playing it. You remain blissfully ignorant.

[23:30:41] <Bender> karma - bytram: 157
[23:31:02] <requerdanos> looks more like mildly combatively ignorant to me.
[23:31:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, and you believe it actually works so well that you have to fight it.
[23:31:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> mocking it is the proper response
[23:31:26] <Bytram> Given the original internet was text only, I fail to see how prn and cat vids had anything to do with its creation

[23:32:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> unhelpful but there you are
[23:32:58] <Bytram> timing of those vs. arpanet?
[23:33:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, asstr = alt.sex.stories text repository, so...
[23:33:34] <Bytram> AFAICR there was NO support for video in HTTP 1.0
[23:33:54] <Bytram> no, no cat videos. Agreed?
[23:34:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> but porn
[23:34:14] <requerdanos> IRC was invented without the ability to register channels, but...
[23:34:30] <requerdanos> or nicknames for that matter
[23:34:43] <requerdanos> things come into their own.
[23:34:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> pizza was invented without bacon as a topping too
[23:35:04] <requerdanos> and I love bacon on pizza.
[23:35:29] * TheMightyBuzzard excuses himself to do adminy stuff
[23:36:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> da fuck? is someone scraping the entire wiki or some shit?
[23:36:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, that wouldn't be enough
[23:37:14] <Bytram> the claim was that the internet was created for cat vids and port. (1) I'll give you that it was the ARPANETback then. (2) I showed there were NO cat vids back then. (3) That was a logical "AND" in your assertion. (4) FALSE AND x is FALSE. (5) QED.
