[03:00:58] <Ethanol-fueled> I've always wondered what it was like to be woke and unprincipled.
[03:01:56] <AzumaHazuki> christ, who keeps leaving this asshole's padded cell unlocked?
[03:01:57] <Ethanol-fueled> turning one's back on the principles one once held to be like an undecisive woman going along with emotions and peer pressure.

[03:04:20] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm going to see to it that every White person cheering on the destruction of our communities,
[03:04:36] <Ethanol-fueled> Insisting on treating us like cattle with masks,
[03:04:40] <AzumaHazuki> aren't you like half Mexican or something?
[03:04:44] <Ethanol-fueled> destroying all of our small business,
[03:04:53] <Ethanol-fueled> will be pointed out, in real life, when the time is right.
[03:04:57] <Ethanol-fueled> and that time will be soon.

[03:07:48] <AzumaHazuki> uh-huh. and if you expect us to believe that or that you have friends, I'm Sailor Mercury
[03:09:04] <Ethanol-fueled> The less I'm known, the better.
[03:09:25] <AzumaHazuki> a good way not to be known is to keep quiet :)
[03:10:35] <Ethanol-fueled> Quiet enough not to be noticed, charismatic enough to point out who is behind the ills in our society.
[03:11:03] <AzumaHazuki> "charismatic." buddy, you make me look like Shania Twain
[03:11:26] <Ethanol-fueled> charismatic enough to be banned for telling the truth.
[03:11:54] <Bytram> close
[03:11:58] <AzumaHazuki> LOL
[03:11:59] <Ethanol-fueled> not to mention actually being consistent with my principles.
[03:12:14] <AzumaHazuki> sure, if you don't have any it's easy to be consistent with them
[03:12:28] <AzumaHazuki> i just want to know, who hurt you? what made you turn out like this?
[03:13:15] <Ethanol-fueled> Jews did.
[03:13:37] <AzumaHazuki> a little closer to home, I mean. unless you were circumcised forcefully as an adult or something?
[03:13:46] <Ethanol-fueled> Haw.
[03:16:30] <Ethanol-fueled> Someday woke bullshit will be like one of those bad fashion trends like those mushroom haircuts worn in the '90's
[03:17:11] <Ethanol-fueled> The more people die from vaccines, the more people support random attacks against White people and Asians,
[03:17:39] <Ethanol-fueled> People are going to have to justify to somebody with straight faces why they thought it was a good idea...at the time.
[03:18:52] <AzumaHazuki> are you sure your fuel is actually ethanol and not something a bit more, well, neurotoxic? this sounds more like long-term cocaine abuse to me
[03:19:11] <Ethanol-fueled> You don't know shit from shine-ola.
[03:20:31] <AzumaHazuki> ahh...projection, hypocrisy, and stupidity, the holy trinity
[03:20:33] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm going to see to it, in the public meatspace, carefully and tactfully, which demographic was responsible for the destruction of La Mesa. I'm going to see to it that we tie Chinese links to every one of those assholes.
[03:20:53] <AzumaHazuki> good luck with that, but might i suggest a paying job?
[03:21:48] <Ethanol-fueled> I don't need a paying job to do all that, especially while others are losing theirs to lesser-qualified peiople.
[03:23:02] <AzumaHazuki> is that a confession you're sponging off the taxpayer to pull this crap?
[03:23:22] <AzumaHazuki> and/or that your supervisor found you spitting in the mcnugget bin one too many times recently :)
[03:24:00] <Ethanol-fueled> Why are people so afraid of others posting honestly online?
[03:24:29] <Ethanol-fueled> I mean, when you're M.O. is all about silencing people, that just looks insecure as hell.
[03:24:45] <AzumaHazuki> start posting the truth and maybe you'll see why
[03:25:21] <Ethanol-fueled> Good point. It seems that everytime that happens, people get banned for it.
[03:25:45] <Ethanol-fueled> If only people could admit that they don't want to hear the truth,
[03:25:46] <AzumaHazuki> and yet, you're still here. therefore~...?
[03:25:54] <Runaway1956> Some people just won't learn about personal attacks
[03:26:01] <Ethanol-fueled> therefore, people don't want to hear the truth.
[03:26:07] <Runaway1956> Tell TheMightyBuzzard <AzumaHazuki> christ, who keeps leaving this asshole's padded cell unlocked?
[03:26:30] <Ethanol-fueled> Teacher make the bad words go away!

[03:26:54] <MrPlow> Okay, I'll tell them next time I see them.
[03:26:57] <Ethanol-fueled> Make him go away
[03:27:01] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahahahahahah
[03:27:02] <AzumaHazuki> looool
[03:27:08] <AzumaHazuki> even the bot's mocking you now
[03:27:36] <Ethanol-fueled> I have no incentive for having any respect, SN went woke
[03:27:38] <AzumaHazuki> so, are you going to say anything amusing tonight?
[03:27:44] <Ethanol-fueled> I just did,
[03:28:01] * Ethanol-fueled raises hand teacher teacher make the meanie go to the office!
[03:28:03] <AzumaHazuki> er, no, you didn't. look up what the word means
[03:28:45] * Ethanol-fueled raises hand ...teacher, momma, make the bad words go away!
[03:29:13] <Ethanol-fueled> I'm 25 years old and can't deal with a meanie-head!
[03:29:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, tattle tale =P
[03:29:51] <Ethanol-fueled> And yet you're perfectly fine with rioters and shitbags burning down our cities.
[03:29:52] <AzumaHazuki> how the hell did you survive a quarter of a century?
[03:30:14] <Runaway1956> ;^) Yep
[03:31:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> behave, children. it's been a stressful day and ain't nobody looking for an extra helping tonight.
[03:32:19] <Ethanol-fueled> What is that workplace theory, called the bus theory or something?
[03:32:34] <pinchy> hey ethanol tell us what you think about the vax?
[03:32:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> vms++
[03:32:44] <Bender> karma - vms: 5
[03:32:50] <Ethanol-fueled> If it takes only one shitposter to tank your outfit, your problems go beyond just me.
[03:32:50] <AzumaHazuki> lol, pinchy. i'm not done making the popcorn yet, slow down a bit
[03:32:54] <Runaway1956> The bus theory? If you touch the high voltage bus, you'll get a free new hairdo, if you don't fry to death
[03:33:42] <chromas> bus factor
[03:33:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, 120 is amusing though. grab your buddy and slap live voltage with the back of your knuckles.
[03:33:49] <Ethanol-fueled> Fuck progressives, fuck Antifa, fuck BLM, fuck commies, and last but not least...FUCK JEWS.

[03:37:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> everyone wearing thick rubber soles don't hurt matters neither
[03:37:42] * chromas taps a few finish nails into TheMightyBuzzard's soles
[03:38:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> finish nails, what a joke. you still got plenty to do after you're finished with them.
[03:38:38] <Runaway1956> A malaria vaccine sounds like double plus good news
[03:38:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, speciesist!
[03:39:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> why you gotta be keepin the little virus down?!
[03:40:11] <Runaway1956> Snot a virus, it's a parasite - a giant monster compared to a virus
[03:40:43] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[03:40:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> virus, worm, trojan, rat, whatever
[03:41:36] <Runaway1956> Anything that causes a fever is probably bad - unless it's a nubile female
[03:42:04] * Runaway1956 waits for TMB to tell me how bad nubile females are for my health
[03:43:17] <Runaway1956> My default applications have been screwed up with this new install - I keep opening links in the most locked-down browser I have
[03:45:24] <chromas> That's good
[03:45:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net
[03:45:33] <chromas> You want the default to be the most secure
[03:46:47] <Runaway1956> Not exactly chromas - I want the browser with identifiable information to be the most secure
[03:47:16] <Runaway1956> When I click a link you post, I probably want to see the content
[03:47:31] <Runaway1956> I just don't want the browser to identify me to all the world
[03:50:29] <chromas> Yeah I s'pose
[03:50:48] <chromas> So what desktop environment? matey?
[03:51:11] <Runaway1956> I'm using LXDE - installed several others, haven't logged into any of them
[03:52:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> LXDE made me sad when it finally went GTK3-only
[03:52:54] <chromas> Did nobody fork it?
[03:53:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> not that i seen
[03:53:17] <chromas> You there! You fork it!
[03:53:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> was only like last month or so
[03:53:35] <chromas> All you have to do is accept other people's PRs ;)
[03:53:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> still annoys the shit outa me how the tooltips are in all the wrong places
[03:53:57] <Runaway1956> Hey, which one of you stole my coffee cup?
[03:54:18] <Runaway1956> And, please don't step on the chocolate covered raisins on the floor . . . .
[03:54:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> =blame
[03:54:21] * systemd points at Bytram
[03:55:07] <AzumaHazuki> blehhh, so many gtk2 things have disappeared out of Gentoo now. Even LXDE feels weird and slow and gross under GTK3
[03:55:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup
[03:55:22] <Runaway1956> coffee++
[03:55:22] <Bender> karma - coffee: 5540
[03:55:28] * TheMightyBuzzard mourns the loss
[03:55:55] <chromas> Are you using gtk-mushrooms?
[03:56:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> mostly the panels. the rest you can almost fix with some .gtkrc changes
[03:56:43] <Runaway1956> gtk3 mushrooms or gtk2?
[03:56:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> the panels went from perfect to sucking ass though
[03:57:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> and not hot chick ass, post-sturgis biker ass
[03:57:27] <chromas> 3
[03:57:46] <Runaway1956> Oh yeah - leafpad is missing . . . I did a search, and can't even find it in repos
[03:58:04] <Runaway1956> haven't decided what I want to replace it with
[03:58:04] <chromas> I guess it's gtk3-classic now
[03:58:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> gvim of course
[03:58:32] <Runaway1956> have never used it - from the command line I use nano
[03:58:56] <Runaway1956> guppies are different thought - gooey guppies
[03:59:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't matter, they'll have gtk4 out soon. it's not remotely ready for real world use, so it should be released fairly soon.
[03:59:31] <chromas> ah, the kde4/gnome3 approach
[03:59:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, vim with a gtk winder basically
[04:00:02] <chromas> is there a qt version?
[04:00:09] <Runaway1956> yeah, I got that . . .
[04:00:18] <Runaway1956> how 'bout a python version?
[04:00:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, prolly. qt people are evil and infect everything
[04:00:38] <chromas> qt's still better than gtk3
[04:01:00] * chromas infects Runaway1956's coffee cup
[04:01:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> only in the sense that getting hit in the left testicle is better than getting hit in both.
[04:01:33] <chromas> qt applications encourage configuration instead of removing it
[04:01:54] <Runaway1956> anyone ever used notepadqq ??
[04:02:12] <Runaway1956> supposed to be notepad++ like for linux
[04:02:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes, they offer every possible configuration option except "don't look and feel like shit"
[04:02:28] <chromas> so still better than gtk then :D

[04:04:04] <Runaway1956> still installing here - I'm moving kinda slow, and watching for Bytram to try grabbing my coffee cup again
[04:04:24] <chromas> You need a fast pc. Installed in just a couple seconds here
[04:04:44] <chromas> Looks alright. I probably won't move away from kate though
[04:04:56] <Runaway1956> Looks a lot like geany
[04:05:26] <Runaway1956> leafpad was just a stupid notepad like thing
[04:06:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, gentoo it up. still all the leafpad you can stomach here.
[04:06:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> oooh, wait, build from tarball!
[04:06:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> pretend you're on 90s slackware
[04:06:44] <Runaway1956> I could do that . . .

[04:09:16] <systemd> ^ 03why is leafpad removed
[04:10:38] <chromas> I can tell that's not a modern site because instead of filling half the screen with a giant photo, they fill it with a bunch of useless tinytext boilerplate

[04:13:59] <Runaway1956> Unfortunately, it doesn't remember my most-recently-used etc
[04:14:58] <chromas> in notepadqq?
[04:15:10] <Runaway1956> No, leafpad
[04:15:32] <chromas> oh, I thought that's the one you were already using
[04:15:34] <Runaway1956> notepadqq is more sophisticated than leafpad -
[04:16:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> drinks its tea from a mug instead of a solo cup?

[04:16:37] <Runaway1956> if they named an editor coffee I would probably use it
[04:16:53] <Runaway1956> if they named an OS coffee, i'd probably use it
[04:17:01] <Runaway1956> and no, Java isn't an OS
[04:17:13] <chromas> There used to be CoffeeCup Software. They made an FTP client and html editor
[04:17:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> there's coffee-script. "compiles" to javascript.
[04:18:00] <chromas> oh it's still around even
[04:18:32] <chromas> Maxxon used to call its script thinger in Cinema4D COFFEE
[04:18:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> saddens me that no package named covfefe is in the gentoo repos
[04:19:41] <chromas> Make one
[04:20:01] <chromas> That'll be the new name for your GTK2-based LXDE
[04:20:25] <Runaway1956> It should make automatic unintelligible posts to social media that look like Trumpisms
[04:21:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd hafta drop SN dev work to do that
[04:22:18] <chromas> well shit, all those bugs and features you're working on would have to be put off indefinitely
[04:22:20] <Runaway1956> installed tea text editor - opened it up - looked at options and changed the gui to dark looks
[04:22:23] <Runaway1956> it crashed

[06:50:06] <Bender> karma - pickles: 1
[06:52:11] <FatPhil> yesterday's shop included precisely tomatoes, and salty gherks
[06:52:28] <FatPhil> not vinegar, that's crass
[06:52:44] <AzumaHazuki> vinegar is good for you in the right contexts
[06:53:36] <FatPhil> agreed
[06:54:07] <FatPhil> but you can't beat the lactic acid of natural fermentation
[06:54:17] <FatPhil> kimchi++
[06:54:17] <Bender> karma - kimchi: 2
[06:54:25] <FatPhil> sauerkraut++
[06:54:25] <Bender> karma - sauerkraut: 1
[06:54:42] <AzumaHazuki> well, yes. stuff like that is expensive though. i do eat plain nonfat "greek" yogurt several times a week to get the lactobacilli and friends
[06:55:00] <AzumaHazuki> a spritz of stevia and some cinnamon and some vanilla goes really well on it
[06:55:08] <FatPhil> kimchi's pretty easy to make yourself
[06:55:36] <FatPhil> however, it does stink up the fridge a bid
[06:55:46] <AzumaHazuki> not an option for me
[06:55:55] <AzumaHazuki> i'm one of 4 people on the bottom floor here
[06:56:25] <FatPhil> oh, that heads my next suggestion off at the pass
[06:56:40] <AzumaHazuki> homemade kraut?
[06:56:42] <FatPhil> because the outside windowsill is a backup
[06:57:17] <FatPhil> in winter, of course
[06:58:04] <FatPhil> we've never done our own kraut, as it's so cheap to buy here.
[06:58:45] <FatPhil> we did make daikon kimchi as well as the more normal chinese leaf one, thta also worked well
[07:02:14] <Fnord666> Love me some kinchi
[07:03:02] <FatPhil> unforunately, I love it so much, I don't like bad kimchi.
[07:03:29] <Fnord666> Understandable.
[07:04:21] <FatPhil> one of our korean restaurants is run by someone with a highly secretive history.
[07:04:22] <Fnord666> And the next town over from where I live does a sauerkraut festival every year.
[07:04:43] <Fnord666> I got hooked on Kimcgi when I was stationed in Korea
[07:04:53] <FatPhil> we're pretty sure he escaped from North Korea during the soviet times.
[07:04:53] <Fnord666> s/Kimcgi/Kimchi/
[07:04:53] <SedBot> <Fnord666> I got hooked on Kimchi when I was stationed in Korea
[07:05:33] <Fnord666> HAd everything from what the mess hall tried to make to what the korean soldiers that I worked with brought in from home.
[07:06:58] <FatPhil> do you prefer young or old?
[07:07:21] <FatPhil> I was surprised how young some people eat it.
[07:11:03] <Fnord666> I prefer it to have aged a bit.
[07:11:19] <FatPhil> The samsung canteen in suwon probably got through half a tonne of kimchi per day.
[07:11:55] <FatPhil> they have a city within the city
[07:13:12] <AzumaHazuki> that idea itself creeps me out
[07:13:24] <AzumaHazuki> Korea has some of the worst excesses of Japan and somehow manages to make them even worse
[07:15:55] <FatPhil> i did like a lot of the culture there, but there was an elephant in the room.
[07:16:55] <FatPhil> not criticising superiors, and "face" generally, is way too dominant
[07:17:19] * Subsentient gurgles
[07:17:24] <AzumaHazuki> that is very common in Japan and China too. Most, in fact, of Korean and Japanese culture is Chinese
[07:17:37] <FatPhil> shhhhhhhh
[07:17:46] <FatPhil> nobody's allowed to know that
[07:17:56] <AzumaHazuki> they hate that by the way. But i'd say a good 60% of Japanese vocabulary is Han, the Korean "hanbok" means "dress of the Han people," etc
[07:18:13] <FatPhil> absolutely
[07:18:25] <AzumaHazuki> THIS is why the US really, really needs to learn Chinese history, because they're about to become the global superpower and they have a "Chinese exceptionalism" zeitgeist that makes the US look innocent
[07:18:55] <AzumaHazuki> from their point of view, the last few centuries are a fleeting aberration, and they intend to resume their place as masters of the world
[07:18:59] <FatPhil> the USA is just a yappy dog
[07:19:51] <FatPhil> so the US should probably be arming the mongols, and forcing regime change there
[07:25:21] <AzumaHazuki> what we should have done is cut off the flight of capital and labor in the mid 90s, but noooo, greed won out
[07:25:50] <AzumaHazuki> at this point, even containment is an impossibility. all we can really do now is try and divest ourselves from China, and build up our own renewable infrastructure.

[07:46:35] <AzumaHazuki> the long and short of it is, you know how i've been bitching and moaning about how SN's becoming a RWNJ cesspool, and specifically why it was not only a possibility but an inevitability? NCommander said more or less the same and left
[07:46:38] <Anti-aristarchus> Seems it might affect those of us who only want to, like, submit science news?
