Somehow the Soylent dude has managed to become even more of an insufferable tool.

> I think it was a bit presumptuous for the architect to assume I wanted a kitchen with my apartment and make me pay for it. My home is a place of peace. I don’t want to live with red hot heating elements and razor sharp knives.

Yuuki

@LessPop_MoreFizz I think it might've been presumptuous for the architect to assume that he wanted an apartment with his apartment and make him pay for it.

He should go live in a cardboard box.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz "First, I never cook. I am all for self reliance but repeating the same labor over and over for the sake of existence is the realm of robots. I utilize soylent only at home and go out to eat when craving company or flavor." It's nice that you can afford it and don't find the same pleasure in it as others might.

Butane stoves to replace an electric kettle != minimalism.

Okay, maybe that was the wrong word, but either way, this guy is just being a dick

Yuuki

He compares it to a Keurig machine, which is stupid, because he should actually compare it a dime-a-dozen electric kettle. But he doesn't because that would ruin his pretentious comparison.

user15026

Yeah, some of his comparisons are stupid

user15026

Electric kettles consume less energy, don't generate as much as environmental damage, and don't have the added hidden cost of the fact that someone needs to bottle that butane in the first place.

@Unionhawk Sounds like something San Francisco would do, if not for the fact that they'd have to label most of their population as insufferable tools.

user15026

Private Pansy

They do, which is why they're so amazing

James

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but Mangoes are one of the fruits that change their taste and texture quite a bit between unripe and rotting (and not just phases you dont want to eat like most fruits :))

Yuuki

Yes.

Private Pansy

@James They do. Unripe mangoes are usually dry, hard and sour. Ripe mangoes are very sweet, slightly watery, and soft enough you can peel the skin off by hand

Yuuki

2:42 AM

The sour unripe ones are good for salads though.

Private Pansy

I believe ripe mangoes are suppose to bruise easily to allow their juice to seep out to attract animals

Also, mangoes is such a fun word to say

Yuuki

Sliced and such. The unripe ones are good when you mix them with other flavors.

Like most sour fruits, they don't do well on their own but are great in an ensemble.

Huh. I have $30 in my eShop account. I sorta don't want to pick up BoI though because it looks kinda gross.

Private Pansy

Millennium Girl can get pretty grindy. I have not played Persona Q, so no idea there

I do like the map drawing though. Makes good use of the 3DS hardware, and it gives the game a DIY dungeoneering kind of feel

If you don't like drawing maps there's not much else that separates the game from other dungeon crawlers IMO

Yuuki

Persona Q has roughly the same gameplay.

It's basically a Persona-themed Etrian game.

Private Pansy

Ah

Yuuki

I played Etrian IV, so I know I like the gameplay.

But I'd rather get Persona Q since I haven't played a Persona game in awhile.

Yuuki

Probably I'm not coming from the same cultural background (although I do have lots of family members pestering me about when I'll get a girlfriend), I feel that as long as people aren't being condescending, this "keep an open mind" discussion about future children shouldn't be considered offensive.

Probably because*

But yes, the last two (and it can be argued, three) panels are pretty condescending.

As in, the person on the right is being condescending.

user15026

I dunno, the keep an open mind thing to me always feels like "I cannot accept your current feelings for what they are" because yeah, people totes change their mind about lots of things, but don't belittle how I feel now by telling me tomorrow might be different.

user15026

Accept that right now, I am making my choices based on what I feel is right for me, and that should be the end of it.

user15026

Otherwise it just comes off as patronizing and gross. Kids/relationships/marriage aren't going to be end goal, and going "oh you'll change your mind" is just icky.

user15026

(this is, incidentally, made worse, because 90% of the time, it's only really asked of and said to women)

Yuuki

See, I feel that the "I know exactly how I want to live my life right now" mindset is also close-minded in its own way. I'm just saying that these conversations should be okay, so long as people aren't being patronized.

user15026

But why?

Yuuki

"90% of the time" is not very accurate for Asian families. Everyone gets pestered about kids, regardless of gender.

user15026

3:59 AM

Why should I have to have emotionally charged conversations about my personal choices with strangers or people I don't know well?

Yuuki

Sometimes, males moreso because we "pass on the family lineage", depending on what part of Asia you're from.

user15026

Not everyone wants kids or wants marriage or whatever it is that you are questioning me about! That's the cool part about being people! We all want to do different stuff!

Yuuki

Never mind, we got off on the wrong foot again. I'm wrong, I was talking about conversations with family and family friends (although I guess the latter could be considered strangers).

user15026

Family is different - I still don't want to ahve those conversations with them, because they still don't get to decide those things or judge those decisions, but in this case, the original conversation was more about people who aren't as close as family.

Yuuki

I just need to get it in my head that I'm probably never talking about the exact same things as you guys and are therefore wrong forever.

user15026

4:02 AM

@Yuuki Nah, not wrong forever, just in a slightly different sphere.

user15026

Because as you pointed out, your background is very different from mine or @spugsley. Hell, even the two of us are different (but there are a lot of similarities we draw on)

user15026

So you're bringing your stuff to the table, and that's cool, but it's just different stuff and experiences.

user15026

Nothing wrong with that. We're just bound to see things differently, and sometimes it means someone ends up with a foot in their mouth or two. I'm just as guilty of feet in my mouth as you or anyone else. :)

Yuuki

Being raised in more collective-oriented culture (if that's the term) gives you a weird perception on what is and isn't considered offensive. I mean, I read a lot about what people consider offensive and usually I can understand where they're coming from, but I still don't get it.

user15026

@Yuuki If it's not the term, it does a good job of explaining to me what you currently mean, so we'll go with it. :) See, I grew up in pretty much every small rural faith based town stereotype there was, so I have those biases.

user15026

This discussing on childbearing is an eyeopener, for example, because while I can see how being expected to have kids can hurtful, but my personal thought is "isn't that just what families do?"

Bleh, mobile chat = grammatical nightmare.

user15026

Yeah, exactly - it's all about coming from a different sphere of experience. Because no, not all families do that. I think the only person in my family who does is my maternal grandmother. My mom might joke about the lack of marriage and kids in her family, but it's not the same "you are broken if you don't want to pop out babies" tihng.

user15026

and I know very few people who would even mention it to total stangers.

user15026

4:12 AM

because like....you know nothing about them! So why would you assume their life goals are yours?

user15026

I'm not like @spugsley - I theoretically maybe want kids some day if the stars align and it works out for that to happen. But if someone asked me about it in the Starbucks line, I'd just be like "excuse me what"

user15026

Because that's totally weird.

user15026

Whereas my mom goes "when are you making me grandbabies so I can play with all their cool toys" and I go "maybe someday or maybe the cat's all you get, hope you like catnip" and it's fine.

Yuuki

Yeah, that also confuses me. The whole "you are broken because x" thing. Growing up, there was always a sense that your personal feelings should usually take a backseat to the family as a whole, but there was never a sense that you would be considered "broken" if you didn't do x.

user15026

As with just about everything, context is king.

Yuuki

Maybe because it's more passive "encouragement", there was less active shaming.

user15026

@Yuuki The idea of doing what is best for the family as a unit makes some sense to me (although the idea of such a tightly knit family unit beyond your immediate family is kinda unusual to me), but yeah, I've experienced many times where I have been told I "fail as a woman" because I don't have like ten babies and a ring on my finger and a house and whatever

user15026

And I don't plan to settle down and like....be a "adult" anytime soon

Yeah, family units in China, at least, are weird if you come at them from a Western perspective.

user15026

@Yuuki Yeah, see? I bet we could have piles of discussions from your perspective where I would be wrong and stick my feet in my mouth a lot

Yuuki

My dad's side of the family still lives very close together. While his siblings have moved to a more urban environment, everyone still got together at the old family home when we visited.

If they have the money, rural Chinese families tend to cluster in these giant family homes. Ours was two stories with at least ten or twelve rooms and a giant central courtyard.

And the whole town was like that, each family with its own big house-that-actually-felt-like-a-mini-apartment-complex.

There was also a room for chickens.

Private Pansy

And no, I can't think of any fanfics I've read where that happens. But I'm quite sure there are many of them out there

It's more prevalent in fandoms with a significant amount of male characters.

Headcanon: The Bridge House is a Chinese manor style house. With a LAN room in the middle instead of an open-air courtyard.

Hmm, I need to check that MLP/XCOM crossover for updates. I'm sure there's a lot to catch up on, it's been awhile.

Private Pansy

Stardust?

Yuuki

Maaaaybe? Last I checked, there were a number of chapters in the sequel.

Private Pansy

All I know is its name, its a crossover, and it's too bloody long for me

@Yuuki oooh yes

user15026

I vote that

Private Pansy

Speaking of, @AshleyNunn have I shown you fimfiction.net/story/232939/intern?

user15026

@PrivatePansy You hadn't! That was lovely.

Yuuki

Ugh, fimfiction's mobile needs to be optimized.

Had a mini-crash.

Private Pansy

@Yuuki I think it works pretty well. What's wrong?

Hmmmm. It does use somewhat more resources than it strictly needs to. But the design is responsive, and works well

Yuuki

4:57 AM

Scrolled halfway and my browser had a heart attack.

FF.net is minimalistic and I prefer it to fimfiction when it comes to mobile.

Private Pansy

FF.net makes me want to gorge my eyes out though

It's just so... ugly

Yuuki

I ignore the headers and footers. Black text on a white background or vice-versa is all I need or want from a fanfiction site.

Archiveofourown is good because of this as well, but its tagging system is super-dumb.

Private Pansy

@Yuuki Even then the site does poorly. The text size doesn't resize automatically to give the lines optimal length for reading

user15026

Ao3 is weird about tags.

Private Pansy

The point being fimfiction.net is one of those rare sites with long form articles that doesn't make me automatically reach out for the Pocket or reading mode button on the browser

Yuuki

5:08 AM

One of my big pet peeves with FF.net is that chapter titles aren't shown in the chapter selection drop-down menu on mobile.

Q: How to disable family sharing games?

Is there a way to disable family shared games because I made a new account today but it still stays play instead of buy. I want to buy the game personally.

My main issue with fanfiction.net is that you can't select the text

Private Pansy

6:38 AM

@murgatroid99 Wait, what?

5pike

6:55 AM

Morning

murgatroid99

@PrivatePansy On fanfiction.net, you can't select the text in the stories

And I just checked. Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge have the same behavior, so I don't think it's a browser quirk

5pike

7:11 AM

Huh, a small black cat just visited us in our office.

5pike

7:29 AM

Man, writing SEO texts fucking sucks

Yuuki

@murgatroid99 That has to be a Windows 10 thing then, because I can select text just fine.

Well, not "has to be a Windows 10 thing" do much as "I don't think it's anything wrong with the site".

Private Pansy

@Yuuki Can't on Firefox on Windows 7.

Can't tell if it's deliberate or unintentional. I can't find what's causing it

Kevin van der Velden

@PrivatePansy I'm betting it has to do with the nocopy css class

Private Pansy

CSS, huh. I was looking in the JS

Actually it might also be JS. Let me look again

Kevin van der Velden

The css probably activates it, I don't know if CSS by itself can do it

Oh no it can: stackoverflow.com/questions/826782/…

Jup: -webkit-user-select: none;

Private Pansy

7:40 AM

Oh yeah, that property

It's suppose to be used to disable accidental text highlighting on UI elements like buttons

Of course sites abuse it for stupid

Martin Sojka

Same as with disabling right mouse click menu.

Private Pansy

Oh god yes. I've only been to one site that does that, and it pissed me off so much

5pike

@MartinSojka There's a special place in hell for those people

Private Pansy

Hmmm...

I'll just go quietly jump off a roof now

Kevin van der Velden

Yay javascript

Private Pansy

I mean, both behavior are completely arbitrary, so I don't really care which you do, but for the love of all that is holy, why can't the browser agree to one!?

This is a core language type, for chrisake

I'm afraid what I would see if I go and type these into IE

Martin Sojka

@PrivatePansy new Date(string) is just calling Date.parse(string), and that's only required to understand the formats as output by date.toString(), date.toUTCString() and date.toISOString (ECMAScript standard 15.9.4.2 and 15.9.3.2).

fredley

@PrivatePansy Protip: Use frameworks for everything.

Martin Sojka

Second, "2015-08-04T16:38:00" carries no information about the time zone, so you obviously can't get proper time stamp from that. Garbage in, garbage out.

Kevin van der Velden

Protip: Don't use javascript

wat

Private Pansy

@MartinSojka It doesn't, but somehow the two biggest browsers in the market can't agree whether new Date() objects should be in locale TZ or UTC

Firefox assumes UTC, Chrome assumes locale

Martin Sojka

@PrivatePansy And that's why I always end my date strings with a "Z".

Private Pansy

Also, new Date doesn't accept TZ if you call it with the individual time components

@fredley Apparently it's a standard date format string - both Android and iOS accepts it. I can't how they came about in the first place

Probably some Unix command written in the 80s

Martin Sojka

@PrivatePansy That's because it's supposed to work in UTC. Specifically, ECMAScript standard defines new Date (year, month [, date [, hours [, minutes [, seconds [, ms ] ] ] ] ] ) as MakeDate(MakeDay(yr, m, dt), MakeTime(h, min, s, milli)), MakeTime is simply h * msPerHour + m * msPerMinute + s * msPerSecond + milliand MakeDate is day × msPerDay + time.

Spotify ads are weird. They cause mainly confusion. And nothing else.

Javascript: it's completely and totally broken, but you see, since you can rationalize why it's so broken, it's actually okay and it really is a user error.

(See also: PHP)

Martin Sojka

It's not like I care much, really. ISO-8601 all the way if I want to store or transmit it.

Private Pansy

@MartinSojka So that means Chrome is in the wrong here

badp

(See also: C and C++ compilers that still will accept your program if you use strcpy)

Martin Sojka

@PrivatePansy That means you shouldn't use the constructor for time values. new Date('2015-08-04T16:38:00Z') is parsed correctly in all major browsers (just tried Firefox, Chrome and IE).

Kevin van der Velden

9:06 AM

@MartinSojka I dunno, I also like the idea of writing it on a hissing black cat

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Poor kitty.

badp

I am not entirely sure kittens are serializable

Kevin van der Velden

Referring of course, to the relevant xkcd

Martin Sojka

It's not like other languages have it better. I mean, Java is in its third or so iteration of date/calendar system, and it's still not compatible with UTC.

Private Pansy

@KevinvanderVelden I shall transmit all my time in Roman numerals from now on

badp

9:08 AM

@MartinSojka but it's got JodaTime in it now, and JodaTime is perfect and does all the things.

Martin Sojka

@PrivatePansy Great, and now you'll have to deal with years of up to 445 days length ...

Private Pansy

@MartinSojka JS stole Java's API for Date. I mean, of all the things JS could have stolen it stole the bleeding Date object

badp

@MartinSojka well, it's okay, the default Java constructor will happily accept "9999-99-99"

so it can't be that much worse.

@PrivatePansy There aren't that many things JS could've stolen from Java actually.

Private Pansy

Alternatively whenever a site asks me for my birthday I will now fill it in with the date from the Chinese Lunar calendar

Martin Sojka

They tried stealing the name for some weird reason.

Private Pansy

9:13 AM

@MartinSojka All the single letter names have been taken...

badp

@PrivatePansy Pfft, that's just the roman alphabet.

Private Pansy

@badp If I ever create a language I'll call it ಠ

badp

We should soon start seeing languages named after individual emoji's

Martin Sojka

@PrivatePansy Funny, that's one of the letters I use for loop variables in Java ...

Private Pansy

Or maybe 'Your Mum'. Because I'm actually twelve and find Your Mum jokes funny.
