[17:35:16] <MrPlow> Unable to find a title for that page
[17:35:16] <Runaway1956> #submit http://www.nytimes.com
[17:35:03] <Runaway1956> That looks like a good submission - file it under "humanities" or maybe "inhumanities" - or just anthropology
[17:30:59] <emacs> ^ 03( http://www.nytimes.com )
[17:30:58] <Runaway1956> LPTT - http://www.nytimes.com
[17:28:32] <Runaway1956> I understand that you're a part time thinker - that is common among liberals
[17:28:02] <Gravis> pff... as if i'm here all the time
[17:27:39] * Runaway1956 is amazed it took Gravis 17 minutes to think up an impotent protest to my ramblings
[17:26:15] <Gravis> Runaway1956: it's interesting how you react when called out on your bullshit but not completely uncommon
[17:09:32] <Runaway1956> BTW - stop generalizing me Gravis - it's insulting, and you may "trigger" me
[17:08:40] <Runaway1956> People who require a "safe space" should just stay home, where they don't have to deal with life
[17:07:46] <Runaway1956> What does "representative" mean, man?
[17:07:43] <Gravis> Runaway1956: you sure like to generalize
[17:07:30] * Runaway1956 offers to scoop out another six gallons of shit for Gravis
[17:07:26] <Gravis> Runaway1956: all of them?
[17:07:16] <Runaway1956> and safe space shit
[17:07:10] <Runaway1956> Actually - she is representative of people who use that trigger word shit

[17:06:41] <Gravis> Runaway1956: so one person is representative of the motives of everyone?
[17:06:05] <Runaway1956> watch the vid
[17:05:38] <Gravis> Runaway1956: because it seems like you are claiming ill effects of events that never occur.

[17:03:45] * Runaway1956 adds "retard" to the list of trigger words
[17:03:41] <Gravis> <Runaway1956> Basically, they throw a tantrum, and expect the law to punish you for their tantrum

[17:03:29] <Runaway1956> http://www.theatlantic.com
[17:03:24] <Runaway1956> Nahhh, just by retards
[17:02:31] <Gravis> Runaway1956: are you viciously attacked by rape victims often?
[17:02:16] * Runaway1956 is so happy that Gravis is here to psychoanalyze me
[17:02:03] <Gravis> type of mad
[17:01:54] <Gravis> not on the surface mad, a deep down anger and resentment
[17:01:51] <Runaway1956> I was madly in love once
[17:01:44] <Runaway1956> I'm not even insane, let alone mad
[17:01:20] <Gravis> Runaway1956: you seem mad
[17:01:15] * Runaway1956 sits the bucket on the counter beside the remaining donuts
[17:00:52] <Subsentient> Mmm, free fudge....
[17:00:43] <Runaway1956> Feel better now?
[17:00:37] * Runaway1956 pulls Gravis' head off, and scoops out six gallons of shit into a bucket, then screws Gravis' head back on
[16:59:45] <Runaway1956> a word that initiates a process or course of action
[16:59:45] <Runaway1956> 1.

[16:59:30] <Runaway1956> http://www.dictionary.com
[16:59:21] <Gravis> Runaway1956: must be difficult moving around when you are so full of shit. ;)
[16:58:52] <Gravis> Runaway1956: or ever?
[16:58:19] <Gravis> Runaway1956: this happens often?
[16:57:32] <Runaway1956> Example - I use the word "rape", and someone who claims to be a rape victim viciously attacks me, THEN demands that the police arrest me for using "that word"
[16:57:16] <Gravis> Runaway1956: what a wonderful world. :)
[16:56:30] <Runaway1956> Basically, they throw a tantrum, and expect the law to punish you for their tantrum
[16:56:26] <Gravis> Runaway1956: then i guess they are imaginary
[16:56:11] <Runaway1956> Real people aren't triggered FFS, this is an affectation put on by whacko lib-progressives
[16:55:41] <Gravis> Runaway1956: Who is this "we" you refer to? You and that mouse in your pocket aren't going to put them anywhere.
[16:55:35] * Runaway1956 ponders the similarities of the mysterious "they" and Gravis' "we"
[16:55:26] <Gravis> <Runaway1956> And, finally, I propose a "safe space", where we can lock up people who are triggered by our trigger words
[16:54:49] <Runaway1956> Who is this "we" you refer to? You and that mouse in your pocket aren't going to put me anywhere.
[16:54:17] <Gravis> Runaway1956: i say we put you and them in an arena. the survivor gets to continue.
[16:54:13] * Runaway1956 utters a litany of trigger words at Gravis
[16:53:43] <MrPlow> Submission successful. https://soylentnews.org
[16:53:27] <Runaway1956> It's called "quarantine" gravis
[16:53:18] <MrPlow> Submitting. There is a mandatory delay, please be patient.

[16:53:01] <Runaway1956> Or, we could just cut their tongues out, and chop off their typing fingers, so that they can't communicate their diseases
[16:52:37] <Runaway1956> Sounds like a good idea to me - lock them away so that we don't catch their communicable disease
[16:51:45] <Gravis> Runaway1956: so basically, you want to put emotionally tramatized people in jail? not a great way to treat rape victims and veterans with PTSD.
[16:47:36] <Runaway1956> And, finally, I propose a "safe space", where we can lock up people who are triggered by our trigger words
[16:46:16] <Runaway1956> Then, I propose that members be expected to use a minimum of six "trigger words" in casual converstaion, daily.
[16:45:52] <Runaway1956> Hmmmm - I propose that Soylent establish a list of "trigger words" and publish them.

[12:51:41] * mecctro cuts to feel the Omnium of Dark Tranquil Melodeath Gatherum
[12:44:21] <mecctro> Sound edgy
[12:32:10] <Subsentient> Kalmah's another favorite but their sound is a bit different
[12:31:38] <Subsentient> FatPhil: Yeah, I love Omnium Gatherum, Dark Tranquillity, and Melodeath in general.
[12:31:16] <FatPhil> hmm, looks like they've gone more melodic recently, if anything I think I prefer it to the earlier stuff. I wonder when they'll be playing near here again :/
[12:21:07] <FatPhil> the best way of starting a conversation with a drunk finnish band member on tour abroad is to say "bandisi on perseesta", I find.
[12:20:00] <FatPhil> Ooh, haven't seen them for years. I remember having a very drunk "you guys rock" conversation with the drummer back in late 200x.

[11:48:35] <cmn32480> fuckers woudln't give it to me by IV
[11:48:25] <cmn32480> this was yesterday... and there was a dunkin'
[11:47:54] <AndyTheAbsurd> If you're rushing between planes in an airport, there is probably a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts available. And either will provide coffee.
[11:47:17] * cmn32480 wonders where he hid the liquor
[11:47:05] <cmn32480> and an arttitude adjustment
[11:46:42] <cmn32480> i need more coffeee\
[11:46:37] <cmn32480> AndyTheAbsurd - most liekyl
[11:46:06] <cmn32480> my answer to them, and a CC to their boss was "Fix your fingers, your password works fine"
[11:46:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> they probably ignored the little "caps locks is on and may screw up your password" notification
[11:45:59] <FatPhil> problem exists between phone and off-button?
[11:45:41] <cmn32480> I believe you are correct.
[11:45:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> cmn32480: I think your question answers itself - they're idiots.
[11:45:21] <cmn32480> log in under their account, it works fine?
[11:45:21] <cmn32480> tks fine?

[11:19:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> back after while
[11:19:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think vidya wins
[11:12:55] * AndyTheAbsurd blames insufficient caffeine
[11:12:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm, or i could finish watching pretty in pink
[11:12:44] <sedctl> <AndyTheAbsurd> well, there goes the air of mystery about the whole thing
[11:12:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> s/where/well,/
[11:12:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> where there goes the air of mystery about the whole thing
[11:12:06] <SirFinkus> whisky is like mother's milk
[11:11:31] <SirFinkus> I know where it's from
[11:11:22] * AndyTheAbsurd recognizes that quote (but won't reveal to SirFinkus where it came from)
[11:11:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> ugh, i don't feel like coding this morning. vidya ftw.
[11:10:11] * TheMightyBuzzard blatantly plagiarizes
[11:10:10] <SirFinkus> more charismatic as well
[11:09:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> And that, SirFinkus, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
[11:09:51] <SirFinkus> exactly
[11:09:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
[11:09:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> Well, you see, SirFinkus, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
[11:08:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> i take it for its other health benefits though.
[11:07:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> zactly
[11:06:58] <SirFinkus> just like whisky clears the arteries

[10:50:20] <Booga1> Figured it out yesterday.
[10:50:14] <chromas> See? With no ciri, another bot needs to take over fight duties
[10:50:05] <SirFinkus> "personal" bot
[10:49:58] <Booga1> I know that now.
[10:49:57] <xhedit> i'd put ciri in a dungeon
[10:49:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, nah, he's my personal bot
[10:49:43] <chromas> poor ciri. relegated to the dungeon
[10:49:30] <Booga1> I thought that he was a person.
[10:49:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> !fight MrPlow vs vidya

[10:46:29] <Booga1> If you can't be handsome for the ladies, at least try to be handy.
[10:46:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> rather be famous for the reasons ron jeremy is famous but i'll take the accolades anyways.
[10:45:37] <Booga1> Ouch. I'd hate to be mentioned by Hillary no matter the context.
[10:45:26] <SirFinkus> I don't remember the specifics
[10:45:23] <SirFinkus> something about being "first against the wall"
[10:45:07] <SirFinkus> I think hillary brought him up by name in her last speech
[10:44:31] <Booga1> At least he's famous for the thoughts he has. :)
[10:44:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, i only agree with about 75% of them. the other 25% are just to wind someone up.
[10:43:54] <SirFinkus> you're famous TheMightyBuzzard
[10:43:30] <Booga1> I agree with about half of either of your comments. Still, some of them I mention to friends gets them all worked up.
[10:42:48] * Booga1 nods.
[10:42:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> i can see how that could happen. i'm the troll that codes, he's the one who doesn't.
[10:42:15] <Booga1> It's about 4am here.
[10:41:50] <Booga1> Yeah, that's half the issue there. I was thinking of Runaway1956. :P

[01:41:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> h, j, k, l do your arrow keys if you don't have arrow keys or use vi instead of vim
[01:41:43] <MDC> I think vim is fine but I'm confused about the keys
[01:41:26] <MDC> Now here is a disturbing question - why do I have all the key commands wrong?
[01:41:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, l
[01:40:59] <MDC> that sounds right.
[01:40:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> l i think. i haven't used good old vi in a long time
[01:40:39] <MDC> I just gave myself a short exam for stroke
[01:40:13] <MDC> Is there a key that moves forward one char? Aside from the right arrow key
[01:39:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> far as i know, nothing. vim doesn't use ctrl-alt-shift-meta-etc much.
[01:38:45] <MDC> It moves forward in the file. That is surprising to me
[01:38:21] <MDC> What is ^F supposed to do? Maybe I'm confused I thought it moved forward on the line
