The DMZ

Contest Has Ended Thanks to everyone for participating. I will be contacting those who participated for shipping details and item verification within the week. Keep a lookout for the email! Tired of seeing all the Stack Overflow swag everywhere? Want something different? Well, now's you...

kalina

and disgusting on multiple levels

I see people playing ingress

the worst of it is, I know they're playing ingress

but they look like they're stalking children

Rory Alsop

@kalina it was for a specific Anomaly event. All the folks in my team got them

AviD

1:17 PM

@RoryAlsop huh, 10M swag still hasnt shipped?? that explains it then.

kalina

ducking into doorways and running down stairways

Simon

@RoryAlsop Aw so you're telling me those are rare items?!?!?

Rory Alsop

@kalina my kids can spot an ingresser a mile away

kalina

and I shouldn't know that they're playing ingress

Rory Alsop

@Simon - you need to check meta.SE for swag stuff on a regular basis

kalina

1:18 PM

because apparently being able to determine that fact is a major geek marker

Simon

Wait, does it have a zipper?

If it has a zipper, I don't want it.

AviD

@RoryAlsop WHY DIDNT YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS??????

???????

Simon

I despise hoodies with zipper now.

kalina

hoodie without a zipper?

you disgust me

AviD

Why do scotsmen wear kilts?

SHEEP HEAR ZIPPERS

Simon

1:18 PM

@kalina You have no taste.

Rory Alsop

@AviD I did

kalina

I have lots of taste

Rory Alsop

I posted about it in here

Rоry McCune

@Simon zipper hoodies==best hoodies

AviD

nuh uh

Rory Alsop

1:19 PM

And I got my hoodie by saying I didn't need one:

5

A: Choose your own swag - the craziest contest idea ever! What were we thinking?

I need no swag - I have sufficient. That said: I like t-shirts a lot. Especially the black ones. Black makes me happy. I have given away a lot of SE t-shirts at conferences, and to worthy individuals around the world. This kind of swag makes others happy too! And I have stickers, a torch, pens...

AviD

didnt see it :-(

Simon

I'm trying to find a picture of my hoodie but I can't find any

QQ

AviD

would have loved it

kalina

every time SE offer me swag I ignore them

Rоry McCune

@kalina well yeah it's hardly the pro-opsec option

kalina

1:20 PM

if I wanted it, I could get it from them to me without an opsec failure

Rory Alsop

@kalina I already told you - just get them to send it to me, and we'll arrange a dead-drop at some point

lol

Simon

Dead-drop ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Wait, that's disgusting.

kalina

oh noes zika is actually confirmed on martinique :(

Rory Alsop

@Simon how?

kalina

that rules out the caribbean

Rory Alsop

1:22 PM

don't tell me Urban Dictionary has an entry for that

Simon

@RoryAlsop To add a kinky face after the word "dead-drop".

Rory Alsop

@Simon hahahaha

Simon

It makes disgusting things come to my mind.

Rory Alsop

@kalina I thought it was really only an issue for folks who are currently pregnant, and low risk to everyone else?

kalina

risk is risk

Simon

1:23 PM

Anyway, can we go back to discussing about important matters?

HOODIES WITH A ZIPPER, REALLY?

WHYYYYY

Rory Alsop

@Simon they have to

How would you have one without a zip?

you'd not be able to temperature regulate

kalina

@RoryAlsop there are enough symptoms without being pregnant

Simon

@RoryAlsop Like this:

Nice link, do they make it for men?

kalina

without a zip you're unable to reveal cleavage

Rоry McCune

@Simon ease of off/on

kalina

1:24 PM

...or hide it

Rоry McCune

zipper hoodies are much more practical travel garments

no-one wants to do that over head pull in a public place

Simon

@RоryMcCune When I take my zipperless ones off, I can show my belly to the world ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

kalina

especially since it nearly always takes your top with it as well

sudden bra exposure

gasp

Simon

See, that's a super nice thing.

kalina

no

Rоry McCune

1:26 PM

yeah on 40+ year old guys there might still be gasping but for other reasons

AviD

@Simon this is borderline harrassment

Simon

@kalina How else would you show off your Victoria's Secret, then?

@AviD Come on.

AviD

unless you are already in such a relationship.

kalina

@AviD borderline?

Rory Alsop

Simon

1:27 PM

IT HAS A ZIPPER

NUUUUKEEEEE

Rory Alsop

SU hoodie is cool

kalina

nothing about superuser is cool

AviD

@kalina well... in context, it miiiight be excusable. Might.

Mark Buffalo

@RoryAlsop Who is that teenage hipster?

Rory Alsop

Oh yeah, my Nuketown T-shirt is also cool

AviD

1:27 PM

as long as he is not in person.

Rory Alsop

hahahaha - I like you even more now @MarkBuffalo

AviD

38 secs ago, by kalina

@AviD borderline?

Simon

pls

kalina

I don't want to have any wardrobe malfunctions so I shall dress accordingly

Rоry McCune

@Simon sorry dude on the zipper thing looks like you're in a minority of one.

Mark Buffalo

1:28 PM

@RoryAlsop There's no way you're an old guy

there's NO WAY

Rory Alsop

@MarkBuffalo full body botox for the win

Mark Buffalo

You look younger than me

Simon

If I take a pic at work, a lot of people will judge me.

Rоry McCune

@MarkBuffalo have you not heard of the portrait of (d|r)orian grey?

Mark Buffalo

dammit. I need to exercise

Simon

1:29 PM

soz lads

Rory Alsop

Or alternatively, I think @AviD reckoned it was just an integer overflow

wrapped round past 65536

@Simon you think they don't already

kalina

well let's be fair, @RoryAlsop just took a #selfie and posted it in the DMZ

Rory Alsop

;-)

kalina

judgement level is already at maximum

Simon

pls

Rory Alsop

1:29 PM

@kalina heh - for Science!

and zipper hoodies

Simon

I'm gonna post a selfie of my SE t-shirt if I ever receive it.

Rоry McCune

@kalina not quite maximum... there was no duckface

Mark Buffalo

@RоryMcCune don't think so

kalina

@RоryMcCune no but he did lean back to get the upwards angle

Simon

To show his cleavage.

kalina

1:30 PM

that's basically like #selfie from above

Rory Alsop

(you'd be more amused if you watched me trying to take a selfie - not sure how to hold the camera, and angles - that was attempt number 3 to get the t-shirt in as well as overexpose the view of the garden

AviD

can we go back a few moments and discuss the fact that @Simon is straight up SEXUALLY HARASSING women, and is completely oblivious to that fact?

Rory Alsop

don't think I'm leaning back, just not really competent at selfie-ing

Rоry McCune

@kalina ah well I'm not a selfie pro, so I didn't notice that...

Simon

HOW ON EARTH AM I SEXUALLY AND HARASSING WOMEN?

kalina

1:31 PM

@AviD I assume all men aim to sexually harass women until proven extensively otherwise

AviD

@Simon ooh show me your underwear hurhurhur

Simon

For fucks sake, man.

@AviD Where did I say that?

Link me to the post where I specifically asked kalinuh to show me her underwear.

AviD

5 mins ago, by Simon

@kalina How else would you show off your Victoria's Secret, then?

Simon

the post has to say "pls show me your underwear"

kalina

@Simon nope

AviD

1:32 PM

6 mins ago, by Simon

See, that's a super nice thing.

Simon

Where did I ask her to show me her underwear in that post?

Rоry McCune

Dorian Gray (2009 film)

Dorian Gray is a 2009 Irish fantasy-horror drama film based on Oscar Wilde's 1890 novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. This version is directed by Oliver Parker, written by Toby Finlay (his first screenplay), and stars Ben Barnes as Dorian Gray and Colin Firth as Lord Henry Wotton. The film tells the story of the titular character, an attractive Englishman whose image is captured in an enchanted painting that keeps him from aging. His portrait becomes tainted with every sin he commits, while he remains young and handsome. The film, which was released in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2009, competed...

Mark Buffalo

@AviD But there's nothing to show

kalina

merely looking without any spoken words is bad enough

AviD

that last referring to accidental wardrobe malfunction.

Simon

1:32 PM

Still does not do it ovid, try some more.

Rory Alsop

To be fair, I think reality is in between @AviD and @Simon's points. Simon said accidental lingerie flashes were a good thing, but he didn't specifically ask @kalina for such a thing

Simon

^

kalina

@RoryAlsop you're not allowed to be the voice of reason so soon after posting a #selfie

2

miss a turn

Mark Buffalo

@RоryMcCune Ah, I remember this

Rory Alsop

however most girls I know do not think accidental lingerie flashes are in any way a good thing

Simon

1:33 PM

ovid, I don't know what happened in your life to be so much pro-feminist that it makes you see things that weren't even said.

Rory Alsop

@kalina I will not pass go

do I get the £200 though?

AviD

@RoryAlsop well he was saying it specifically about her

that she should show off her underwear

kalina

@RoryAlsop not without passing go

Simon

@AviD You're stretching it SO much.

AviD

and that he is a creepy leering peeping tom.

Simon

1:34 PM

Jesus freaking Christ ovid.

AviD

no, bad timing

kalina

@Simon I think part of it is because he's realized life is easier just being on my side, but primarily I think he just likes fucking with you

AviD

@RoryAlsop and yes, encouraging and staring at accidental lingerie flashes IS straight up sexual harassment.

Rory Alsop

@Simon - I think @kalina is right ^

Simon

@AviD Encourage an accident?

Rory Alsop

1:35 PM

@AviD but he wasn't actually doing that.

kalina

@Simon it's basically the same as peering through somebody's bedroom window while getting changed

AviD

@kalina heh. dont give a damn about the 1st, 2nd is true, but not the point.

@RoryAlsop totes was

Rоry McCune

@AviD it would be but I don't think that's what was said, and given your early comments re: nurses outfits, I might suggest you're on somewhat dodgy ground :op

Rory Alsop

@AviD use of totes... that's got to be as bad as my use of a #selfie

Simon

Serious-fkin-rly ovid, go be on someone else's case about being disrespectful to women because you're not looking at the right person at all.

AviD

1:36 PM

@RoryAlsop heh thats why I used it ;-)

kalina

@RоryMcCune it doesn't have to be nurses either, you should have seen my halloween costume last year

AviD

@RоryMcCune not quite the same, she said it, @RoryAlsop went all goofy, I made "get a room" comments.

Rory Alsop

@kalina we would have, but you wouldn't post it. Some nonsense about OpSec.... blah blah security

AviD

@Simon and hence the obliviousness.

kalina

o right that thing

Rоry McCune

1:36 PM

@kalina well given you're propensity for Opsec and the fact you live in a different country and hate cold places like scotland... that seems unlikely :) but I'll take your word for it

Rory Alsop

@AviD did I really go goofy this time? <scrolls up for a look>

kalina

I wonder if I can find the store I bought it from

Rory Alsop

nah - was just being me

Rоry McCune

22 mins ago, by AviD

@RоryMcCune NOT WHEN KALINA IS IN ANY KIND OF NURSE OUTFIT

Rory Alsop

no change

kalina

1:37 PM

21 hours ago, by Simon

I'm getting gangbang'd by two dudes.

Rоry McCune

@AviD nope it was you with the all caps stuff, not @RoryAlsop

kalina

@Simon this comment appears to be semi-relevant again

Simon

@AviD Go have a discussion with my donut who wasn't in a relationship with anyone for 3-4 years because she meant assholes who disrespected her for their benefice before she met me.

I'm sure she'll agree with everything that you said about me.

Rory Alsop

Hahahahaha - just seen the star wall! Nice one @Rоry

kalina

@Simon we're not ... oh

are you saying you're the cure for hating men?

because I find that hilarious

Simon

1:39 PM

No, she still hates men.

kalina

if anything I hate men more having met you

Simon

Other, typical, disrespectful men.

@kalina pls.

kalina

what, you're typically disrespectful many times

Simon

How many times have I truly hurt you?

kalina

like yeah you should wear a hoodie without a zipper so I can stare at you when you take it off

oh like 7

Simon

1:40 PM

Seriously, you say X in this chat and people read ABCDEFGHIKLMNOPQRSTUVWYZ.

AviD

@RоryMcCune nah I was just cheering her on, thats not harassment

kalina

I would tell you exactly what you did but it I tried to keep up with the water under the bridge I'd drown

Rоry McCune

@AviD uh huh

Simon

zzz

kalina

I will tell you this, I killed my minimoog with tears

Simon

1:42 PM

I don't believe you.

kalina

which surprised me, I would have expected it to be slightly water proof

oh it turns on but no sound comes out anymore

Matthew

OK, I wandered for lunch, and this place went from no discussion, to full out war...

kalina

there is no war

only your perception

drawing negative opinions of what happens here from random chat is your loss

AviD

@Matthew its not a war, its a lynch mob.

Rory Alsop

but a cosy mob

with hoodies

with zippers

Matthew

1:43 PM

@AviD Is that like a pitchfork mob? hefts pitchfork hopefully

kalina

I'm still cold enough that I'd accept cuddles from @Simon while continuing to make fun of him

Rory Alsop

@kalina lol - that's an interesting kind of malicious

Simon

Stop accepting cuddles from people you consider assholes you donut.

Matthew

I'm cold enough that I'm wearing two hoodies...

Rory Alsop

not malicious...cruel, maybe?

Simon

1:43 PM

It can only go wrong.

Rory Alsop

@Matthew pfffft

Mark Buffalo

My two cents... and I might be a bit late... but kalina just got done telling us how much she didn't like being objectified earlier... and then this

AviD

@Matthew typically its called a lynch mob, and they are the ones carrying the pitchforks and torches.

Matthew

And sitting with a radiator under my desk

kalina

@Simon I relegated men from relationships to fleeting moments anyway

which reminds me... time to cocoon myself in duvet

because FFS IS SO COLD

Simon

1:44 PM

KALINUH YOU'RE IN THE POSITIVE DEGREES

AviD

@MarkBuffalo @kalina likes to be objectified, but on her own terms.

kalina

anything less than 20 isn't positive

Simon

-.-

kalina

@AviD heh, this, actually

AviD

@kalina maybe the problem is its men that only provide fleeting moments.

Simon

1:45 PM

You need more fat on your skin or something

kalina

@AviD true enough

Rory Alsop

@kalina anything over 18 degrees is a strange kind of hell that is only tolerable by wearing only surf shorts. Which us teenagers can just about carry off :-)

AviD

@kalina so here's a solution:

Simon

ovid right now I'd absolutely put my foot up your a-hole.

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop nice clarificatory edit :op

AviD

1:46 PM

19 mins ago, by Rory Alsop

kalina

@RoryAlsop I'm perfectly happy bikini'ing it up in the right weather

this isn't it

this is too cold

Rory Alsop

@RоryMcCune I thought it would definitely be taken the wrong way otherwise

AviD

@Simon isnt that called a Canadian Tuxedo?

kalina

@AviD what?

AviD

you and your strange sex acts

Rory Alsop

1:47 PM

@AviD to be fair, I'm now back in just a t-shirt, as the photo-op is done

kalina

how can you wear just a tshirt when it's like 4 degrees

Rоry McCune

@RoryAlsop true true

Rory Alsop

@AviD oh - I see what you did there

Matthew

@RoryAlsop So you not only didn't want a hoodie, you don't need a hoodie!

Simon

@AviD No, that's called the Angry Canadian Who's Once Again Considered As An Asshole To Women By Ovid Because He's The Only One Who Thinks That.

Rory Alsop

1:47 PM

@kalina cos I have excess insulation and a high metabolism

Rоry McCune

@kalina central... heating...

kalina

I rattle from the cold once it gets to 10

Rory Alsop

@Matthew I said that in my post, and they still gave me one

AviD

@RoryAlsop ;-)

Mark Buffalo

That's some real Dorian Gray shit going on right there

kalina

1:48 PM

@Simon I think you're an asshole to women too

AviD

see, now I'm objectifying @RoryAlsop.

Rory Alsop

@AviD you know it. At this age being even close to being objectified is so far off my radar that I'll take what I can get :-)

Simon

-.-

Mark Buffalo

@Simon I think you're an asshole to everyone :b

AviD

@Simon obviously its not just me.

Mark Buffalo

1:48 PM

but that you're more of a dick to women

kalina

I mean you did grab her as she was walking past

Simon

@MarkBuffalo Thank you Markus because this is actually right.

@MarkBuffalo Now you've ruined it.

AviD

@RoryAlsop lol

Simon

@kalina I DID NOT GRAB HER ASS

I GRABBED HER HIPS

kalina

I didn't say ass

you still grabbed her

AviD

1:49 PM

@kalina grab who?

Simon

o

kalina

his donut

Rory Alsop

@Simon lol - spelling misread

Simon

LOL

kalina

they met when he grabbed her as she was walking past him and prevented her from escaping

Simon

1:50 PM

She was standing right next to me.

She was not walking.

I did not prevent her from escaping, I even provided water.

kalina

I don't know what rohypnol you administered next but that would have resulted in broken face before you had chance to speak

AviD

@kalina ah. Sure, that's a sure sign that he's not an asshole to women, pure dating material. After all, he did NOT grab this complete stranger's ass.

Gold.

Simon

..................................

ovid seriously I'm about to get a plane ticket to Egypt.

AviD

@kalina lol

@Simon hahaha

I'll set up another bed in the crypt.

kalina

@AviD no rather than grabbing her by any of the bones he went for the soft waist where he could apply pressure if she didn't do what he wanted

Rory Alsop

1:51 PM

@Simon lol "I even provided water"

JukEboX

Hello

AviD

@kalina hey now, I think @Simon harasses women, I dont think he is really a rapist.

@RoryAlsop lowered down to her in a bucket?

together with some lotion?

Rory Alsop

@kalina actually, excluding the act of grabbing for the moment, is that a concern? I wouldn't even have thought of that?

@JukEboX afternoon

Simon

@kalina Fast forward to about a month later, where I met her there again, some dude tried to put his arm around her and she denied it in the most awesome way ever.

kalina

@RoryAlsop what, being pinned in the middle?

Simon

1:52 PM

If she wanted to get rid of me the night before, she would have done it.

So shush you donut lord.

AviD

@Simon so basically, it wasnt harassing because you were cute.

kalina

@Simon define "the most awesome way ever"

AviD

The Secret to a Perfect Body - Genetics

►

kalina

I hope this isn't college humor

oh ffs

Rory Alsop

@kalina no - I meant of places to hold (again, excluding actual use of force) does the waist present that kind of worry? I mean I was probably thinking that would have been less threatening than, say, an arm? I honestly don't know

JukEboX

1:54 PM

@RoryAlsop found the site to track the new DPRK satellite

Rory Alsop

@JukEboX cool - linky?

Simon

@kalina She took his hand, went "lolpls" and put it away. I don't think I'd still be alive if I have had been denied like this.

AviD

@RoryAlsop I would think its a bit more intimate, and so more presumptuous.

kalina

@RoryAlsop any man of reasonable strength can pin any unsuspecting girl regardless of how they try to do it

but grabbing one arm still leaves the other one with a full swing

JukEboX

@RoryAlsop n2yo.com/satellite/?s=41332

There we go

kalina

1:56 PM

waist is center mass

Simon

@kalina I WAS 5'8" 130 POUNDS BACK THEN

Rory Alsop

@kalina I know that, and obviously try to understand the point of view of assessing any move as a potential attack (I have 2 daughters I'm already training in martial arts)

Simon

DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A THREAT TO YOU?

JukEboX

@RoryAlsop creepy part is though it doesn't send or receive data it goes right over me.

Rory Alsop

@JukEboX it's watching you...

@kalina good point

kalina

1:57 PM

@Simon just being a man sounds like a threat to me

JukEboX

LOL as far as I can tell KMS-4 is useless right now :P
