[00:13:21] <FatPhil> Ooooh, I'm being mod-bombed...
[00:16:58] <Bytram> FatPhil: I'll look into it... give me a bit
[00:18:09] <Bytram> looks like only 4 so far today... not nice, but within what is allowed. Sorry!
[00:19:16] <Bytram> and... your Karma is still at 48 which is just 2 points shy of the 50 point max...
[00:19:28] <Bytram> Do let us know if it continues!

[01:16:43] <FatPhil> Bytram: muahahah - that will forever remain a mystery!
[01:16:56] <Bytram> lol
[01:17:26] <Bytram> btw, I'm officially on vacation and could really use a break
[01:17:27] <Bytram> I
[01:17:30] <Bytram> I
[01:17:44] <Bytram> I can type worth a darn, it seems!
[01:17:50] <Bytram> *can't anyway
[01:18:06] <Bytram> there's a bunch of my subs in the queue and some good ones from others
[01:18:16] <Bytram> could you please push out a few and cover us for the evening.
[01:18:19] <Bytram> please?
[01:19:24] <Bytram> FatPhil: ^^^
[01:19:56] <Bytram> break time
[01:24:02] <FatPhil> bed time, but I can do a couple before I retire.
[01:24:57] <FatPhil> I've hardly read SN for a couple of days, so not sure which stories would be too close to other stories.
[01:29:31] <AzumaHazuki> you know...the quality of the commenters has really gone donwhill. maybe it's just the sleep deprivation talking, but i'm beginning to wonder if it's a lost cause
[01:29:37] <AzumaHazuki> i may just up and disappear one day...
[01:37:52] <FatPhil> AC input has turned to crap, named posters have basically stayed the same. But I basically treat ACs as zeroids, and often won't see their gibberings.
[01:39:04] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: I hear ya. I wish I had more time to actually read the comments posted to the site. As it is, with the time it takes to keep stories in the queue, and the occasional "looking into things", I rarely have any time left.
[01:40:07] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: If I may suggest? Set your comment threshold to something higher (at least 1 or 2) and that should remove a lot of the irritation.
[01:40:24] <AzumaHazuki> we have this one shitty troll AC who insists I'm "abusing mod privileges" and "censoring him" by...modding his trolling -1 Troll. He can't even be arsed to use a proxy, the poxy bellend...
[01:40:31] * Bytram reads at -1 to keep an eye out for possible moderation abuse.
[01:40:51] <Bytram> I'm curious... how can you tell it's the same IP address?
[01:41:03] <Bytram> pm me if you need to
[01:41:20] <Bytram> FatPhil: very much appreciated!
[01:41:22] <AzumaHazuki> i can't, but he keeps saying I'm censoring him by making it impossible to post from his IP, so...
[01:41:42] <Bytram> Oh. Okay...
[01:41:52] <Bytram> that his/her projection is all.
[01:41:54] <AzumaHazuki> not, er, the shiniest peg in the lite brite
[01:42:24] <Bytram> get enough downmods and there are "things" in place to slow that down.
[01:42:49] <Bytram> Of course, once someone's nick got hit, folks would naturally shift to posting AC...
[01:43:25] <Bytram> so things were put in place to track Karma by IP hash... get hit enough times there, and it'll still catch up with ya
[01:43:53] <Bytram> so, it's not necessarily just *your* mods, but the sum total of all the mods that hit that IP addy.
[01:44:11] <Bytram> Like I said earlier, s/he is just projecting that onto you.
[01:44:37] <AzumaHazuki> i do pass out plenty of downmods, but only where deserved. frankly, the sumbitch is spamming, but uzzard's got a problem with calling a spam a spam, so...
[01:45:10] <Bytram> That said, I've found the best approach is to try and not take things too seriously, to keep in mind the source of the comment and how much weight I am attributing to what they are saying.
[01:45:56] * Bytram modded down a few comments
[01:46:28] <AzumaHazuki> i swear to Madokami, the instant i figure out how to slap people over tcp/ip there will be A Reckoning (TM)
[01:46:52] <Bytram> lastly, treat them like you would a sick person. Rather than belittle or ridicule, try using some *overt* patience and tolerance.
[01:47:45] <Bytram> If they are a troll, then don't place any value on what they have to say... IOW ignore them.
[01:48:49] <Bytram> it is very easy to let emotions get in the way -- there are a couple posters that really irk me -- but I try and step back before replying. As the saying goes
[01:49:10] <Bytram> say something in anger and you will make the best speech you'll ever regret.
[01:50:20] <Bytram> Don't try and impress the poster. By my actions I try and stay above the fray and thus engender the support of the community against the troll... call it a flanking maneuver instead of a head-on assault.
[01:50:32] <AzumaHazuki> eh, say something unthinking in anger maybe. anger has its place.
[01:51:24] <AzumaHazuki> i'd still rather be able to visit instant karma on a few of the deserving though. specifically, making every libtertarian idiot work for minimum wage and live in a homeless shelter
[01:51:33] <Bytram> yep, one of the 7 deadly sins!
[01:52:06] <Bytram> yes, they have not had the benefit of the perspective that you and I have *experienced*.
[01:52:33] <Bytram> some day, they may find their circumstances changed and have an "aha moment" of stupendous proportions.
[01:53:03] <Bytram> I need not be present when it happens (as much as I would like to), but I've seen it happen enough times that it gives me hope.
[01:53:07] <AzumaHazuki> not counting on it. there is no justice in this world but what we make, and that requires power
[01:53:27] <AzumaHazuki> ...on that note, I am going to be waiting at the gates of hell for around half a dozen people
[01:53:47] <Bytram> I just do the best I can to live life the best way I know how and hope that by my actions to encourage others to change. Demanding they change...
[01:54:10] <Bytram> well nobody had any luck doing that to me, so why do I think it would work on someone else?
[01:54:18] <Bytram> that few?
[01:54:50] <Bytram> I'm serious about that. There's plenty of folks I know are destined.
[01:55:05] <Bytram> OTOH, why should I let them take up space in my head rent-free?
[01:55:05] <AzumaHazuki> i'm speaking of personal grudges, but yeah
[01:55:17] <Bytram> They are NOT worth it!
[01:55:58] <Bytram> I try to take the high road and use the opportunities, such as they come, as learning opportunities
[01:56:07] <AzumaHazuki> as far as this particular site goes, the ones i fight with, i fight for the sake of anyone who might stumble across their bullshit and see it unopposed
[01:56:27] <Bytram> understood.
[01:56:37] <Bytram> But, it need not be a knock down drag out, either.
[01:57:06] <Bytram> just a "Sad to think that you feel that way in light of all the evidence to the contrary that has already been shown."
[01:57:31] <AzumaHazuki> it's impossible to win an argument with someone who's shoved his head so far up his arse he's become a human Klein bottle
[01:57:34] <Bytram> besides, give the community some credit that they will quicky realize who the wingnuts are
[01:57:43] <Bytram> ROFL!
[01:57:51] <Bytram> Such a gift for words!
[01:58:14] <AzumaHazuki> we've got some real textbook specimens on this forum. Hallow's one of the worst
[01:58:16] <FatPhil> I appreciate the people who downmod ACs who are already -1 to me, and perhaps them. If I see an AC -1 with a downmod attached I know it's probably a special form of stupid.
[01:58:18] <Bytram> It is for people like you that I so fully believe "Wit, is intellect dancing"
[01:58:34] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: ^^^
[01:58:39] <AzumaHazuki> aww, thanks ^^; i can't actually dance at all though
[01:58:59] <FatPhil> my wit is intellect moshing
[01:58:59] <Bytram> human Klein bottle? That is absolutely *precious*
[01:59:14] <Bytram> full contact humor?
[01:59:24] * Bytram giggles from the tickles
[01:59:50] <Bytram> and therein lies the other, best way to deal with trolls... laughter
[02:00:07] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, demagogues hate getting laughed at
[02:00:22] <Bytram> very funny!
[02:00:24] <Bytram> ;)
[02:09:11] <AzumaHazuki> on the lighter side...pharmacist wrote on board "when an inhaler asks for a date, put one on it for compliance reasons." below, someone else wrote "what language does an inhaler speak?" And I had a stroke of brilliance^W compulsive paronomasia and wrote "Nor-wheezin'!" under it
[02:11:31] <Bytram> OMG! That is *brilliant* !!!
[02:11:48] <Bytram> #g paronomasia

[02:12:14] <Bytram> double entendre?
[02:14:48] <Bytram> kinda... basically just a pun, I guess.
[02:15:45] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: You seem to have a fine mastery of the English language... just in the off chance you have not stumbled upon the site yourself, I cannot too highly recommend this one: https://www.etymonline.com

[02:16:32] <Bytram> Warning: it is a rabbit hole of epic proportions!
[02:16:47] <AzumaHazuki> this is my tvtropes, yes
[02:17:13] <FatPhil> bytram - how do I do extended copy?

[04:18:13] <AzumaHazuki> aaaaaaaand she lost my vote. fuck that shit sideways with a sandblaster
[04:36:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> thought you were a great lakes chick. she's east coast.
[04:36:54] <AzumaHazuki> I spent 27 years of my life in NYC
[04:37:07] <AzumaHazuki> ...not, mind you, in the nice parts of it. so drop that "east coast elitism" bullshit
[04:37:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> meant you can't vote for her since you don't live in mass
[04:38:10] <AzumaHazuki> indeed. if i could, i wouldn't
[04:39:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> i kinda wanna move to NY now so i can vote for AOC every chance i get. she cracks me smooth up and i don't wanna lose her.
[04:40:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> damned fine argument against the "women aren't funny" thing
[04:41:07] <AzumaHazuki> don't take her lightly
[04:41:29] <AzumaHazuki> she's green but she has the guts to tell certain people things that needed telling. in both parties.
[04:42:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh i don't care about her politics, i just want to keep getting to here her say shit even dumber than what trump says.
[04:46:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> my favorite wasn't very meme-worthy but it made me laugh the most. where she explained a plan that would bring in $N over ten years to pay for a plan that was going to cost at least $N per year and was completely unable to understand why that wouldn't work.
[04:53:58] <AzumaHazuki> do you not see what she's doing there...?
[04:54:24] <AzumaHazuki> she's trying to run the same strategy the GOP does: ask for something utterly insane, so what she actually gets is what she wanted to begin with.
[04:55:17] <AzumaHazuki> it likely won't work, because most Dem voters are smarter and more honest than most Rep voters (yes I said it, suck my metaphorical nuts). But at this point, nothing surprises me
[04:58:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> if she didn't say quite so much bat-shit insane stuff, i'd probably agree on the first bit.
[04:58:36] <AzumaHazuki> for all that it sounds insane she's still leagues better than anyone on the GOP
[04:58:45] <AzumaHazuki> they're gonna need to make a new circle of Hell for THAT lot
[04:58:46] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[04:59:31] <AzumaHazuki> the country as we know it is over. i felt it die about 18 months ago. there may not BE 2024 elections and I doubt the Dems are going to win 2020 due to being deeply divided and half made of Republicans anyway
[04:59:43] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[05:00:04] <AzumaHazuki> i sense an incoming foreign attack of some sort...and my own death as an indirect result of same
[05:00:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> you should get a sandwichboard sign and prophecy out on the street.
[05:00:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> we're fucked but it's all long-term shit
[05:01:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're almost certainly right on 2020 though
[05:02:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> if they ran a moderate D governor, they'd have a pretty good shot. they won't though.
[05:02:31] <AzumaHazuki> it's not long-term. i've seen things like this before. i keep warning people, the first thing they're going to say is "holy shit, it all happened so FAST"
[05:03:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you're saying trump will go all emperor, not a chance
[05:03:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> he don't have enough backing to pull it off
[05:03:55] <AzumaHazuki> no, he won't. he'll be gone before you think, too
[05:04:17] <AzumaHazuki> something seems to be feeding his body some sort of malign energy, so illness won't be why
[05:04:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> that'd be DC itself
[05:05:19] <AzumaHazuki> all of this is karma. the country brought this on itself.
[05:05:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> the traffic alone would have gandhi out on a shooting spree
[05:06:31] <AzumaHazuki> your flippancy is not going to save you when the midden hits the windmill
[05:06:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw. if karma worked on nations like that, europe would still be burning and nothing would be alive in the middle east. russia and china? fuggidaboudit
[05:08:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> unconcerned. the us can't be conquered either externally or internally. we have more guns in the citizenry than any army in the world has.
[05:08:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> killed, sure, but not conquered.
[05:09:11] <AzumaHazuki> this kind of thinking is why i keep dumping on you...
[05:09:46] <AzumaHazuki> the US is in the grips of a memetic autoimmune disease. those guns are going to be used internally
[05:09:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> no worries. doesn't bug me.
[05:11:11] <AzumaHazuki> it will only take one instance of bad luck for it to "bug" you. you are not special. you are not going to survive that sort of scenario.
[05:12:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> i actually am special in that respect. i'm a trained killer not an amateur.
[05:12:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> doesn't make me bulletproof but ups my odds against $joe
[05:13:11] <AzumaHazuki> unless he gets the drop on you, or you take a stray bullet, or you starve, or you catch a disease, or you just get unlucky and step on a booby trap...
[05:13:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> survival doesn't rate all that high on my priorities list though. i'm an idealist first.
[05:14:11] <AzumaHazuki> "survival" has negative priority for me. if it looks like things are going to go to hell, i'm going to check out on my own terms
[05:15:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> you might wanna double check your assessment with some other folks. put a gun in your mouth unnecessarily and my wouldn't your face be red
[05:15:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes, i will even pun suicide
[05:16:24] <AzumaHazuki> i shouldn't be alive as it is. i've outlived my allotted span by a long time and life is letting me know it
[05:19:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> there is no should on that. either there's someone dictating it and you don't get to argue or there's not and what happens, happens.
[05:22:09] <AzumaHazuki> too many close brushes with death. and after each one more and more people forget me. weird things like that just keep piling up
[05:22:20] <AzumaHazuki> i think i wasn't supposed to live past 25
[05:23:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't remember but maybe half a dozen people i went to school with. that's a normal occurrence post graduation unless you are exceedingly social.
[05:24:26] <AzumaHazuki> close friends. people who i spent years with. "wait, who are you? I've never met you before" reactions. you can't tell me that's normal
[05:25:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> huh, that's a bit odd, yeah
[05:26:09] <chromas> A g-g-g-ghost!
[05:27:17] <AzumaHazuki> i don't think i'll be around much longer
[05:27:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> ugh, no shaggy meme puns
[05:27:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> gotta draw the line somewhere
[05:29:57] <chromas> s/g/r/g
[05:30:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, you will. while i'm here to argue at, your work is unfinished.
[05:31:23] <AzumaHazuki> there is an inflection point, a "node," in about 6 weeks.
[05:33:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> ah, after the crappie spawn's over. that's good at least.
[05:48:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, i gotta get up in four hours and put in sixteen hours or so of heavy manual labor. think i'll go sleep.

[21:44:36] <FatPhil> yeah, I know I should restrict an inflamatory tale like that to #shitlords, but occasionally us shitlords have got to go that extra step to piss people off.
[21:45:40] <boru> FatPhil; how are you with Scandinavian names?
[21:48:47] <boru> I figure .ee has got to be close enough.

[21:50:38] <boru> I am trying to answer some email correspondence, but I'm not sure if the recipient is male or female, because I haven't come across the name before.
[21:51:08] <RandomFactor> I can see my Splash references aren't going to be of use then
[21:51:28] <FatPhil> boru: .ee is ugrimugri, not scandinavian
[21:51:38] <FatPhil> as was .fi too
[21:51:40] <boru> Pft, it's basically Finland.
[21:51:53] <boru> Which is basically Scandinavia.
[21:52:14] <FatPhil> both have been part of the .se empire, so we have had influence.
[21:52:32] <FatPhil> I know lots of .se peeps, fling the name here
[21:52:51] <boru> Their firstname is Lone.
[21:53:41] <FatPhil> woh, I know what my first guess would be, but I'll ask some .se-speaking .fi's
[21:55:29] <FatPhil> In case I don't get a response, I'm 99.5% sure it's a female name

[21:56:26] <boru> Hmm, got it. Thanks.
[21:56:43] <boru> Ms. it is, then.
[21:59:42] <FatPhil> Just did a google images search in combination with the most common swedish surnames I can think of, and that mostly confirms the guess. but google is a bit derpy at times.

[22:03:32] <upstart> ^ 03Lone - Nordic Names Wiki - Name Origin, Meaning and Statistics
[22:04:15] <boru> That's good enough for me. Thanks man.
[22:04:16] <FatPhil> .se-speaking .fi's say "not a real name!"
[22:05:23] <boru> Actually, a German friend of mine living in .no said the same.
[22:05:23] <boru> But all other evidence points the same way.
[22:05:57] <FatPhil> I will confess to watching swedish telly tonight! (with subtitles, obvs)
[22:06:48] <FatPhil> I'm kinda addicted to /Taskmaster/, and as the UK's between seasons, I'm filling the gap with /B\"ast i Test/.
[22:18:50] <boru> NFI what that is, thankfully. I don't watch TV.
[22:58:16] <FatPhil> TV TV, ditto, I download crap years after it's aired generally.
[22:59:28] <FatPhil> I didn't discover Taskmaster until about 18 months ago, and have binged on it since.
[23:00:15] <FatPhil> I'm a fan of most things Alex Horne and Tim Key have been involved in.
[23:00:48] <FatPhil> They're good at that 'not quite humour' humour.
[23:02:05] <FatPhil> it's not 'not quite reached humour' humour, it's 'right round by the side door of humour' humour.
[23:02:53] <boru> 'I can't believe it's not humour'
[23:03:03] <FatPhil> They did a trial series of Taskmaster in the US. It flopped massively.
[23:03:44] <FatPhil> The host didn't understand how it should work, the guests/contestants didn't undersand how it should work, and it was pitched at an audience who didn't have a clue about anything.
[23:05:50] <FatPhil> UK's ramping up for series 8, US cancelled. Completely different senses of what's entertaining and what's not.

[23:06:56] <FatPhil> yes, I'm still bitter!
[23:11:34] <boru> I would never have said.
[23:13:21] <FatPhil> Most of the posts were ironic. They should be interpreted as "Fuck me, the US is stupid", and nothing more.
[23:14:09] <FatPhil> One of the "tells" of an american is the desire to explain a joke.
