Some kids did it, certainly.

And while some elements would of course be more explicit in COD; that ragdoll falling over when hit, the almost instant recovery, with almost no real consequences for either party...

It feels like it might be, in some weird way, almost a cartoonish violence.

In the way that cartoon violence was described earlier...

i really have no interest in that game, but i think that i should play it just to see what it's like and to know what all the fuss is about

@axrwkr I guess that's what Let's Plays are for.

If you don't want to blow ~$60.

Violence - and violence kids are intentionally exposed to - has become a lot more graphic recently. Ironically, during that same timespan median education - and thus the 'time to grow up' - has extended as well.

It's quite a schizophrenic time. On the one hand we're keeping kids out of "the big mean world out there" for much longer, on the other hand they're being pushed towards explicit material.

@FEichinger Very very true.

And it seems like that quite often, it ends up with parents being in the dark as to what their kid is actually experiencing.

11:15 PM

bored

You are bored quite often, so I don't think we can really do anything about that at this point.

user58869

i really want to watch chud again, to see what i think of it now i'm older

@FEichinger you must

@kalina I cannot, because I am taking a nap now.

@kalina Scroll up and read through our whole boring discussion.

11:18 PM

I'm bored of being bored

Well, I guess no one liked that idea...

That's ... quite bored.

@kalina You must go deeper!

2

Deeper until you are bored of being bored of being bored of being bored of being bored of being bored...

@RedRiderX I packed my totem already

@RedRiderX Uh oh.

@kalina Well then, we're all set!

11:20 PM

@RedRiderX I also packed away my other toys

2

facepalm

I knew it.

I didn't star you

Goll darn.

That was obviously @FEichinger

because he is perverted and deprived due to my absence all weekend

@kalina Yes, quite.

11:22 PM

@kalina It's more the part where I had to restrain myself for the last days because I was being nice to you ...

Warning: horses

@FEichinger couldn't have been hard restraining yourself when I wasn't around

@kalina Even before the weekend!

And today! And ... all that!

@badp My Little Drugs: LSD is magic

@badp People are weird, although thinking about it, I'm sure I've had weirder conversations.

I listened for another 10 seconds, I no longer think I've had weirder conversations.

11:25 PM

yeah this gets really quite weird after the 2 minute mark

@kalina I didn't even listen that far. I got to the naruto/MLP crossover bit and stopped.

user58869

@badp that is absolutely terrifying

no way am I leaving that around to get starred

@RonanForman That's ... quite tame, as weird conversations go.

:11890127 You must be really bored.

11:27 PM

@RonanForman I am really bored

<-- wasn't even going to star that ...

@kalina I wasn't planning on starring it.

I never know with you guys

@FEichinger I'm also accounting for the context of a TF2 match with random people.

True

11:28 PM

sometimes the most innocent of things I say get warped

sometimes I say obvious filth and it doesn't get starred

I just don't get it

*most of the time.

@RonanForman That's .. still pretty tame, yeh.

@kalina The intention is very important.

Nah, it just didn't make for a good out-of-context quote, is all.

@RedRiderX Nope, you're so wrong

11:30 PM

@kalina Being out-of-context isn't important?

If it had anything to do with the intention, the only stuff that would get starred would also get her flagged.

only in this channel

let's not discuss the last picture I linked in here

Let's ... not go back to that discussion, no ...

also, angel cake

Oh, screw you.

11:31 PM

you wish

popcorn

do I go to bed and be bored in bed or do I stay up and play Mass Effect again

being "bored in bed" is not a euphemism

@kalina is "play Mass Effect again" a euphemism?

user58869

A euphemism is a generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant. Some euphemisms are intended to amuse, while others use bland, inoffensive, and often misleading terms for things the user wishes to dissimulate or downplay. Euphemisms are used for dissimulation, to refer to taboo topics (such as disability, sex, excretion, and death) in a polite way, and to mask profanity. The opposite of euphemism roughly equates to dysphemism. Euphemisms may be used to avoid words considered rude, while conveying their meaning: "Ki...

@kalina Perhaps I actually do.

11:33 PM

@Unionhawk ...no

@kalina I can never tell.

On that note, Mass Effect is probably less-boring, albeit still somewhat boring.

@FEichinger apart from the fact it would be like my 20th+ playthrough

@kalina less boring. Didn't say ¬boring, did I now?

I suppose I should take this opportunity to expend all of my votes for the day

11:38 PM

@kalina Try Raddit.

music doesn't solve boredom

@kalina Well then.

@kal maybe some mod abuse could help with the existential dread?

@badp only if that mod abuse is to remove whichever room owner is unstarring stuff and add me in their place

in fact

the last part is optional

I second this motion.

11:41 PM

Do we have a problem with too many room owners?

It's not a problem per se but at least one of them is pruning the star list because of personal reasons

That's easily solved by adding Origami while LessPop is around

I did prefer your minimalistic approach to room owners from before

That usually removes five owners or so

If I'm not mistaken, the paperbot is owner already.

11:42 PM

yeah he is

Strix usually reverts his actions. Even if they involve Wipqozn.

badp has removed OrigamiRobot from the list of this room's owners.

3

I don't think it's him who is manipulating the star list though

@kalina Yes, it was. Well, at some point.

Gone are the days when I could count on @less. Now he's too busy hitting on pterodactyls

11:44 PM

@FEichinger He used his powers for good iirc though

for once

Not sure it was exclusively him, but he certainly said this:

Oct 22 at 20:28, by OrigamiRobot

Also, I am and will continue to clear passive aggressive stars. If you want to show agreement, say so. Stop clogging up the star list.

@FEichinger That's what I meant by "for good"

Also Strix is a Googler and as such he should grow mad with power fast enough. So I should probably remove @fbueckert.

badp has removed fbueckert from the list of this room's owners.

@badp A logical conclusion... I think...?

Whatever.

11:47 PM

Finally @wipqozn is still owner so Sterno needs to go. Obviously.

badp has removed Sterno from the list of this room's owners.

You're the worst.

4

@union personally I never applied logic to room ownership

Sterno is the victim here

Oh god, @badp has gone mad with power! ...as...usual. Carry on, everything is normal.

2

11:48 PM

Now now, I haven't put Retrosaur as owner! Yet!

@badp this would be a line that you should never cross

2 days ago, by Sterno

You abusers are going to end up making me lose room owner status and the precious ability to read deleted messages.

Let's not encourage him, shall we.

user20683

@kalina If he crosses it, I'll fix it.

that would be like adding me as room owner

11:49 PM

@Sterno Ahyup. You called it.

and we all know how everybody feels about that

or... young guilo

*shivers*

@world oh noes

user20683

@kalina Can't, he's suspended till this time next year

@kalina Hey, now, he's banned from chat, too.

@WorldEngineer I'm not convinced that stops him from being added as a room owner

11:50 PM

Good thing we have @WorldEngineer, in case @badp goes truly insane.

Which means I could add him as a noop

@kalina Does stop him from doing anything, though.

He'd be ... a sleeper ~~owner~~ abuser.

@FEichinger You're mistaken, room owners have no power anyway

other than unstarring things

@kalina And the most precious of things: Reading deleted messages.

@union what makes you think WorldEngineer is any less insane?

11:51 PM

@FEichinger not really all that important

Except the delicious power to see deleted things

21 secs ago, by kalina

@FEichinger not really all that important

@Sterno You're ... slow, Sternold.

user20683

@badp I am less insane. Isn't that right, @MrPterodactyl?

@kalina KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Or half the battle. Or something.

11:52 PM

@Sterno I'll pick "something".

@WorldEngineer you are intermittently as insane, @badp is more consistent

@badp I trust WorldEngineer to revert your insanity, as he has done so in the past.

You can go back to the day where kalina posted her street address and relive the moment!

5 hours in a car with a toddler and my reward is abuse on The Bridge. Be nice to your elders!

currently @badp is my favourite mod today though. A state that expires in about 7 minutes

user20683

11:53 PM

@Sterno Isn't that the same thing?

@badp I only posted a picture, the rest would be guesswork

@Sterno People who call themselves "elders" are kinda prone to that kind of thing.

I'd like to point out it's been four days since I've cracked a joke about how old and senile @Sternold is.

See? Already with the disrespecting.

brb switching to full site mode to turn on the supersekkrit autokicker on

11:54 PM

@badp That needs a double "on"?

@sterno is Wipqozn distressing you?

@kalina Well, that didn't last long, then.

@feichinger mobile chat

No, he's fine.

@badp Excuuuuuses!

11:54 PM

@sterno you sure? He's just called you sternold.

@FEichinger I can't make @badp my favourite mod long term, the feeling goes to his head too quickly and he takes advantage of my guard being down

@kalina I just learnt an insane way of doing framing frame.

@badp It's a term of respect.

You can do day one in about a minute.

Thats standard abuse. I only get worked up about special abuse.

11:55 PM

I respect my elders after all!

@kalina shows restraint again

@RonanForman hm?

user20683

@kalina I don't take advantage of your guard being down. You know better than to do that with me.

@kalina Use the pager emc, and just rush in with four people.

STERNOLD IS AN APPROPRIATE ALIAS FOR STERNO: DATA ACCEPTED.

11:56 PM

Plus, I just beat stratum 5 which means I'm totally kicking his ass in Etrian Odyssey.

@badp "Aterno", huh?

@badp Fantastic.

You and your typos ... Tsk.

@RonanForman works

Everyone takes out a camera and waits near a guard, when the emc finishes just answer the 4 pagers at once.

It was insane.

11:56 PM

Aterno was an awesome room owner.

2

Sterno aeterno!

@Sterno You were a pretty cool room owner.

Not abusing your powers and stuff.

Use em or lose em I say.

I'm bored again now

this brief entertainment has worn off

Oh well, if dirty star cleaners are gone, its a win.

11:57 PM

yay I have Archaeologist badge again

@kalina Still nothing we can do about that aaand I'm still kinda trying to take a nap.

I am so good at Stack Exchange

Did you know, not a single one of our moderators has the archaeologist badge

Did you I don't even know what that badge is and can't be assed to look it up?

We are too busy mod abusing fresh stuff

Did you know that angel cake is angel covered in cake?

11:59 PM

@Sterno Edit tons of old-ass posts.

Did you know that @Fluttershy hates cake and popcorn?

@kalina ... Screw. You.

@FEichinger you wish
