[04:01:15] <Bender> karma - coffee: 5501
[04:03:16] <chromas> If they're not independent does that mean they can fight for benefits?
[04:12:43] <Bytram> chromas: does "fight for" == "eligible for" ??
[04:18:17] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: FYI, your story sub is a dupe of: https://soylentnews.org
[04:18:18] <systemd> ^ 03UK Supreme Court Says Uber Drivers are Not Independent Contractors: SoylentNews Submission
[04:18:45] <AzumaHazuki> oops, sorry
[04:19:12] <AzumaHazuki> feel free to circular file that one. though, what about the fundraiser for texas? :) I've donated and we have enough Southern tribals on here that we could do some real good if it were posted
[04:19:49] <Bytram> np! Just wanted you to know. Interestingly enough, the earlier sub was by Runaway1956 -- seems there is at least one thing you both agree on!

[04:21:31] <systemd> ^ 03Uber Drivers Are Workers Not Self Employed, UK's Supreme Court Rules: SoylentNews Submission
[04:24:12] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: Ah, yes. I forgot you don't have scrollback. Thanks for the reminder!
[04:24:14] <Bytram> Excellent question! I like the idea! It's a fundamental good to want to help others. Then again, impartiality is a thing. Once we open that door, what other areas should be support? Which ones should we exclude? And WHY? I foresee unending bickering coming from such an admitedly well-meaning action. I do not recall our ever having a fundraiser for outside interests on the site. I fail to see how starting it, now, would prove to be
[04:24:14] <Bytram> a good thing in the long run. I would suggest making a journal post about it, instead.
[04:24:35] <AzumaHazuki> Pretty much as predicted :) "Impartiality" as the excuse
[04:25:21] <AzumaHazuki> your problem is that Ocasio-Cortez is the one running the fundraiser, and the contrast I've pointed out between what Texas pols are doing to Texas vs. what she's doing is "too political," right?
[04:25:38] <Bytram> Read the whole thing, once we throw our support behind any cause, we are obliged to explain why we didn't support every cause.
[04:25:57] <AzumaHazuki> duh, 'cause SN is a private entity and isn't beholden to promote or disparage any cause
[04:27:00] <AzumaHazuki> don't worry, this is the result I expected. It's all just collecting data :)
[04:28:24] <Fnord666> To Bytram's point, if we run one story for a charitable cause, no matter how worthy, then the next person will point to it and and demand that we run theirs too.
[04:28:29] <Bytram> I think it is a GREAT cause. But, I already see you complaining because we did not support a cause that you believe in. Can you see what happens next? It needs to be either all causes are fair game (say you say spam) or none at all. Use your journal.
[04:28:32] <AzumaHazuki> That said, I actually did donate $25, and if anyone wants to help them that can't help themselves...you know, poke Tim Boyd in the eye...the fundraiser is here https://secure.actblue.com
[04:29:03] <AzumaHazuki> whatever gets more eyes on it. i get where you're coming from, i really do, but it's years and years too late to complain about wanting to stay neutral after what this site's become
[04:29:17] <Fnord666> Please post it as a journal entry as well, which should get it on the front page unders the recent journals section
[04:31:01] <AzumaHazuki> done
[04:33:57] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: Let me make this clear: It is PHYSICALLY PAINFUL FOR ME TO TYPE. I can only stand so much each day. I have told you this multiple times before. You have made your point. I have made mine. No minds have changed, and I do not see that changing. For my own health, I cannot continue this discussion. This is the last I will engage you on this. IT HURTS TOO F'ING MUCH. Is that clear?
[04:34:37] <AzumaHazuki> Get some more sleep. Sounds like you're reaching a breaking point. Lord knows after 20+ hours overtime I was out for ages too @_@
[04:34:45] <Bytram> For what I typed there, I could have covered the better part of putting out a story on the site.
[04:35:43] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: It is NOT a matter of sleep. Every single keystroke **HURTS**!! What part of that do you not understand?
[04:36:00] <AzumaHazuki> maybe you're giving too much of yourself to SN...
[04:37:21] <Bytram> no, I'm wasting too much time bickering with you! If I could reduce the typing, there's a chance it will heal up. Capiche?
[04:38:22] <Bytram> So, please stop baiting, me. Is that absolutely clear?
[04:38:26] <AzumaHazuki> Not even gonna touch that one...get some rest already
[04:40:05] <Bytram> I asked you a simbple question -- I only see one other option. You would be the second nick I'd put on .ignore -- the only other entry was ciri -- a bot.
[04:40:50] <Bytram> I have tolld you this several times before. What part do you not understand about PAIN?
[04:41:08] <Bytram> baiting the editors is not a good idea.
[04:41:44] <Bytram> So: Cut. It. Out. Right. Now!
[04:41:57] <AzumaHazuki> I'm not baiting you, and you don't HAVE to respond. If you're looking for an excuse to put me on /ignore, don't bother sugarcoating it, just do it. frankly, i've had it with you too/ /ignore me.
[04:42:08] <AzumaHazuki> in fact, i'll do it to you first
[04:42:24] <AzumaHazuki> Christ.
[04:42:26] <Bytram> YOU are the one who needs the sleep
[04:42:37] <AzumaHazuki> of all the people I NEVER thought I'd put on that list...
[04:42:38] <Bytram> I suggest you get some.

[05:29:21] <c0lo> AzumaHazuki, there is a fundraiser active now on soylent. You reckon it will get the goal of $3500 by end of June?
[05:29:39] <AzumaHazuki> no idea. i made a journal entry for AoC's texas fundraiser
[05:29:56] <AzumaHazuki> would love to see how many supposedly good-ol'-boys refuse to donate because of who's running it :)

[05:42:52] <systemd> ✓ Sub-ccess! "03Scientists Establish Freaky Two-way Communications With Lucid Dreamers" (20p) -> https://soylentnews.org
[05:50:52] <Subsentient> AzumaHazuki: I look forward to being part of the Borg telepathic hive mind.
[05:51:29] <AzumaHazuki> i don't. on the other hand, when my dreams go lucid i tend to get some ridiculous psychokinetic and cryokinetic abilities, so maybe it'll be fun
[05:52:05] <AzumaHazuki> a dream version of a co-worker once said "You fight like a cross between Sub-Zero and a really pissed-off, roided-out Sailor Mercury. It's creepy to watch. ...do more when the monsters come again"
[05:52:24] <Subsentient> AzumaHazuki: Ehh, being a singular consciousness is too difficult. Maybe being Borg will take some of that pain and burden away.
[05:52:31] <Subsentient> LOL
[05:52:33] <Subsentient> I love it
[05:53:06] <AzumaHazuki> dream-Chelsea wasn't wrong either. Remember how Mercury's thing was "flood the area in freezing, stinging soap-bubble fog, then wonder why no one without a visor can see through it?"
[05:53:41] <AzumaHazuki> replace that with "horrendously cold liquid-gas colloid fog from the surrounding air. then when it clears, go kick a hole in the frozen corpse of what used to be a rampaging demon"
[05:54:37] <Subsentient> Ahh. I've been planning to get into lucid dreaming for a long time. I suspect I'm more of a "angry look and BOOSH chunky salsa" type lol
[05:55:56] <AzumaHazuki> kind of funny how my avatar's a generic swordfighter and my dream self is more or less "amped-up, incredibly pissed-off Elsa"
[05:57:43] <Subsentient> I imagine I'm more of an anorexic Dr Manhattan in a tunic
[06:03:34] <Subsentient> k I gotta make up for messed up hours
[06:03:39] <Subsentient> back later

[06:48:07] <chromas> ah yes, chimichanga

[09:37:45] <FatPhil> metallica also good for growing plants
[09:38:18] <Ingar> metallica, or that country band from after the black album?
[09:38:36] <FatPhil> the hipster band, you mean?
[09:39:04] <Ingar> that band where the main singer really hates his audience
[09:39:20] <FatPhil> and the drummer
[09:40:01] <Ingar> the drummer was just sad people copied his songs without paying him and he couldn't get a second ferrari
[09:40:34] <Ingar> plants want Mozart btw
[09:41:17] <Ingar> fun fact: whenever I play Mozart on the piano, birds start replying to it
[09:41:26] <FatPhil> And then a few years later they released Garage Inc where they confessed to becoming popular by playing Budgie, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, ...
[09:41:51] <Ingar> FatPhil: I had already switched to Mozart by then ;)
[09:42:03] <FatPhil> and they made money from this confession too
[09:42:21] <FatPhil> I've never been a Mozart fan, TBH
[09:42:27] <FatPhil> I admire it, but don't like it.
[09:43:06] <FatPhil> As I was walking back from the pub the other day, g/f asked "what song are you humming". I hadn't thought about it - I'd been humming Ravel's Bolero.
[09:43:49] <FatPhil> The funny thing is that I do like Baroque - but I find Mozart *too* baroque.
[09:44:13] <Ingar> I admit I can only eat so much of it :)
[09:44:17] <FatPhil> Bach and Vivaldi are pretty much perfection for me.
[09:44:45] <Ingar> Bach is The Master
[09:45:56] <Ingar> but, for a nice saturday morning like this there is https://www.youtube.com

[09:45:58] <systemd> ^ 03Borodin, In the Steppes of Central Asia, Polovtsian dances (Svetlanov)
[09:47:28] <FatPhil> Just got up, so I'll give that a spin
[09:49:16] <FatPhil> Woh - I'd have placed that Borodin in France or Iberia had I now known it was Borodin.
[09:50:14] <FatPhil> It started a bit Rodrigo, then then just burst into Ravel
[09:50:24] <FatPhil> Now it's gone all Mussorgsky
[09:51:03] <Ingar> I learned about this in music classes in mid school, it kidna stuck
[09:51:55] <FatPhil> We did a synoptic (synaudic?) /Pictures at an Exhibition/ when I was in the first year of high school.
[09:52:03] <FatPhil> Back to Rodrigo again
[09:53:17] <FatPhil> Full orchestra version, versus Philip Jones Brass Ensemble, vs. solo piano interpretation, vs. Tomita synth version.
[09:54:14] <FatPhil> One 'picture' per lesson, and at the end of the lesson we'd close our eyes and vote for our favourite.
[09:56:43] <Ingar> now all I need is some more coffee
[09:58:27] <Ingar> {X}
[09:59:15] <FatPhil> I only have one question about the Borodin - how the *FUCK* can you dance to that!?!?!?!?
[10:00:09] <FatPhil> I love punk - pogo is my dance, and of course I can free-form in a mosh pit like the best of them - but even I couldn't dance to that.
[10:00:37] <Ingar> mmm this ask for something with slow movement and a feeling of grandure
[10:00:48] <Ingar> might be danceable with a partner
[10:01:08] <FatPhil> So you want Elgar, then?
[10:01:49] <FatPhil> I have a partner - we're just staring at each other, we can't work out how to dance to this
[10:02:00] <FatPhil> It's very pastoral, quite scandinavian
[10:02:13] <FatPhil> I reckon this Borodin is a rip-off merchant.
[10:02:27] <Ingar> Nimrod is too slow to dance on
[10:03:22] <FatPhil> Call me basic, but for morning, I think I prefer a bit of Peer Gynt (the suite, not the prog metal band)
[10:03:40] <FatPhil> But it's good to listen to new things

[10:06:19] <Ingar> like everything there's tons of utter crap, and a few gems
[10:07:24] <FatPhil> I think I can Dance to Kraftwerk, that's 'E', and it's 'M'.

[10:10:16] <Ingar> imho mountain king has this feeling of misschief to it :p

[10:14:10] <c0lo> FatPhil's up to no good too.
[10:14:23] <FatPhil> I think this music is missing a play, it's hopping around from scene to scene, but lacking structure on its own
[10:15:46] <FatPhil> I don't think I'm up to no good
[10:15:53] <FatPhil> Not awake enough to know
[10:16:02] <FatPhil> was a "heavy" night last night.
[10:16:20] <Ingar> went to bed early actually
[10:16:31] <Ingar> messed around with virtual machines, that wasn't too exiting
[10:16:35] <FatPhil> remind me to put whisky on the shopping list, we're nearly out...
[10:17:16] * FatPhil really doesn't like the noise his radiator's making
[10:17:31] <FatPhil> sounds like waves breaking at the beach
[10:17:44] <FatPhil> that's never good for a water circulation system
[10:18:16] <FatPhil> or really bad indigestion
[10:20:52] <FatPhil> 'The chemist Alexander Shulgin uses the name "Alexander Borodin" as a fictional persona in the books PiHKAL and TiHKAL.'
[10:21:22] <FatPhil> I think Borodin suffers from Romantic disease, it's one of my least favourite periods
[10:22:52] <FatPhil> HAving said that, if I were to list my 100 favourite "classical" (small 'c', not 'Classical' the period) pieces, there would be a good dozen or so Romantic pieces.
[10:23:20] <Ingar> every era and genre has its goods and bads
[10:23:30] <Ingar> except RnB ofc, which makes me throw up
[10:24:24] <FatPhil> which RnB - the piano/snare/upright-bass version from early a century back was great
[10:24:37] <Ingar> the modern kind
[10:24:46] <FatPhil> with absolutely no blues in it
[10:25:22] <FatPhil> and the rhythm being just pressing start on a small piece of electronic equipment
[10:25:32] <Ingar> yeah
[10:29:11] <chromas> current year r&b is even worse; they've got the sprinkler beats now
[10:29:37] <FatPhil> sprinkler?

[21:15:11] <FatPhil> we've had some fun academic papers pass through our hands recently - one studying online trolling.
[21:15:57] <chromas> it says "Oxford" in the name. What else have they overhyped? Their commas?
