Crusties

Crusties is a term for members of an urban subculture, with roots in punk and grebo. The term pre-dates crust punk and can be used independently. The trend was most widespread in the UK in the late 1980s and early 1990s but there are also international subsets. Background Crusties are distinctive for their unkempt appearance. They are associated with anti-capitalism, road protests, squatting, raves and begging. Typical dress styles involve dreadlocks, piercings, tattoos and dirty clothing (generally second-hand or army surplus). Crusties have been described as being typically unempl...

Hyperbola

In mathematics a hyperbola is a type of smooth curve, lying in a plane, defined by its geometric properties or by equations for which it is the solution set. A hyperbola has two pieces, called connected components or branches, that are mirror images of each other and resemble two infinite bows. The hyperbola is one of the four kinds of conic section, formed by the intersection of a plane and a cone. The other conic sections are the parabola, the ellipse, and the circle (the circle is a special case of the ellipse). Which conic section is formed depends on the angle the plane makes w...

Sterno

The main problem I see with Democracy is that the people can basically vote it into Communism

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Sterno Do you honestly think 'Communism' as conceived by Marx is a coherent system to begin with? It's a critique of Capitalism, first and foremost.

fredley

12:24 PM

@Sterno ...or the other way

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also, Democracy and Communism are orthagonal.

Democracy is a method of governance. Communism is an economic model.

Arda Xi

I really should get around to reading Marx.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@ArdaXi I'd reccomend starting with the Alienation of Labor and the German Ideology - both are pretty short and lay out the basics. Then, if you're feeling ambitious, you can move on to Kapital.

@badp Of course. There are monarchies (real ones, not fake ones for American tourists) that work on the planet today.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah. I forgot it was only medicinal there.

fredley

12:45 PM

@ChrisHateZ Validation is done by people with 10k+ network rep. The flag pops up for all of us to check.

LessPop_MoreFizz

More notably, being in the pot business requires that you be extremely careful not to conduct business in any manner that crosses state lines, lest the feds come after you that way. i.e. a lot of dispensaries don't have bank accounts because if they did, their assets would be subject to forfeiture/seizure by the feds.

tombull89

@ChrisHateZ No. If you say something, and someone flags it, the flag is presented to all in-chat moderators and 10k-network-wide users. If 6 people mark the flag as valid, you get a ban.

LessPop_MoreFizz

Unfortunately, a lot of people just mark any old flag as valid.

So it's fairly easy to get banned for something really fucking innocuous.

Those people are stupid. Generally speaking.

@ChrisHateZ I don't control @badp, I have tried but every meta post I raise complaining about moderators results in the entire mod team downvoting it to save me from being right

@Tom do not spread misinformation please

Everything @OrigamiRobot knows

Wipqozn

Man, star list is moving fast today.

ChrisHateZ

@kalina Yes i noticed.

Wipqozn

I've seen it move faster, but still.

@badp First ban = 30 minutes. Second ban = hour. No?

badp

12:54 PM

No

Fluttershy

Isn't only 30 minutes unless a modernator deems otherwise?

badp

Automatic Bans are 30 mins per message

@BenBrocka @BENBROCKA NEEDS TO BUY A STRIPPER: DATA ACCEPTED

kalina

it is possible to stack bans though

Fluttershy

O_o Wtf autocorrect? Modernator isn't even a word!

badp

12:55 PM

90 minutes = 3 messages flagged

kalina

banned from chat is a stacking debuff

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy It is now!

Fluttershy

He's like the Terminator, but from our time.

I got banned friday for 90 minutes and only one thing I said got flagged.

Sterno

Now it is time for me to go to work at my well-paying job that I have trained hard for so that I can earn money to support the lifestyle to which I have become accustomed!

@Fluttershy Modernators are more stylish than Moderators

LessPop_MoreFizz

The only thing @OrigamiRobot knows about me is that @AshleyNunn threw a rock at me. :(

Wipqozn

@tombull89 A moderator must have stepped in.

@LessPop_MoreFizz You probably had it coming.

fredley

@OrigamiRobot knows a lot of disturbing things about me

ChrisHateZ

When one makes his own room for chat, how does he invite certain user to his room?

badp

For almost everything you say that gets you banned there's a way of saying it that doesn't. You can just not say the rest

kalina

12:57 PM

@tombull89 I thought it was only 60 minutes, and the post that got flagged appeared in the flag list twice

@kalina How many dictators does it take to turn an empire into a union of ruinous states?

@MartinSojka Friday is Friday. 'nuff said.

kalina

@fredley It's a disgrace what you did to your own people. Your daddy beat you like a dog and now you're evil.
