@fredley uh... True?

Sterno

I'm basically the mom of the family as far as stereotypical domestic duty breakdown goes

@twobugs She'd get destroyed.

and rage

Actually, she might be able to heal

Hrm

Wipqozn

@Sterno That doesn't surprise me at all tbh, since I'm assuming your wife works longer and more irregular shifts than you do, due to doctoring.

MBraedley

A new season of UHC? I don't have time for this!

Sterno

12:07 PM

@Wipqozn Yeah, 12 hour shifts + travel + people who come in at the last minute, means she's gone 14-15 hours on the days she works. Which is about 14 shifts a month

Many of which are weekends

Doctoring is ridiculous

Wipqozn

@Sterno You should just volunter to doctor for herfor a month!

It can only good well

Sterno

I'll just tell everyone they have lupus.

Unionhawk

@MBraedley Right?

two bugs

I heard on the radio today that Trump does really well with veterans. That shocks me because he openly mocked John McCain for being in a war that Trump had a very flimsy excuse to avoid, and that he has claimed his brief military school education gave him more experience than many soldiers (not 100% on his exact phrasing for the last part)

Grace Note

What did your children get her?

Sterno

12:10 PM

@GraceNote Last weekend I had them make some art for her. They're 1 and 3 so it's terrible, but she'll love it

Wipqozn

IF she works so long she might enjoy something where can just relax. Maybe a day spa or something like that, @Sterno.

Grace Note

@Sterno Time to one-up them

Your call in which direction you one-up

Sterno

I'm not sure I can out-art my 1 and 3 year olds

Wipqozn

Oh man now I really want @Sterno to make his wife macaroni art

fredley

@twobugs But he's supportin' our troops

Unionhawk

12:10 PM

@Sterno I'm sure you can hire @badp to do that though

two bugs

@fredley He's not!

Sterno

Maybe I can get her one free punch-to-the-face of Donald Trump

Wipqozn

@twobugs but a lot of poeple don't do that

Sterno

Trump could really strengthen his brand by selling those.

Wipqozn

You need to remember that a sizable portion of voters are uninformed.

two bugs

12:11 PM

A lot of people haven't openly mocked people who actually served in wars

Wipqozn

@Sterno That would be the perfect gift.

Unionhawk

That could only go well

fredley

@twobugs He wants to start some wars, vets love wars

two bugs

I mean, John McCain is a douchebag. But he actually served in the war. Trump was drafted and was going along fine until he suddenly got an excuse

fredley

Right now, I honestly think Trump could win, and that's terrifying

Sterno

12:13 PM

@fredley Gotta keep those troops employed

two bugs

I'm going to do everything I can in my state to fight against Trump. Even if I have to back Clinton.

(And I will)

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley I'm so glad that there's an ocean between us and drumpf

Unionhawk

@twobugs Yes

two bugs

It really offends me that his plan is to openly destroy the American economy but people are voting for him because "he's not PC"

People can never even provide a definition for "PC"

fredley

@twobugs "He tells it like it is"

Sterno

12:15 PM

I think there's probably more than one reason people are voting for him

Kevin van der Velden

Or how it is a positive thing that helps with running a country

two bugs

It's usually things like "Wow, I'm not allowed to hurl discriminatory slurs at minorities? Talk about PC culture"

Sterno

Insanity, for one

fredley

The way he tells it, it's terrific. He's the best at telling it. Other people don't know how to tell it.

two bugs

@Sterno Yes, but this is one of the common threads you hear in basically every endorsement of Trump

Unionhawk

12:16 PM

@twobugs I can't not hear any quote you start with the word "wow" in anything other than angry nerd voice

Sterno

@fredley He's going to get some of the best people to tell him how to tell it

fredley

@twobugs Sadly, many of his supporters don't see them as discriminatory slurs, they see it as the truth they're forbidden from speaking

Which is terrifying in itself

two bugs

There's a lot of frustration with the Republican Establishment, which I get

fredley

@twobugs ~~Republican~~

Unionhawk

@twobugs My district elected John Boehner for longer than I've been alive, you don't even know frustration

Grace Note

12:16 PM

@fredley Aye t'this

two bugs

@Unionhawk Haha

Unionhawk

There's a special election next week to fill the seat

two bugs

Honestly my angry nerd voice is mainly intended to be a takeoff of DSP, that guy is a special kind of moron

fredley

A lot of the issues are exacerbated by the two-party system

Frank

@twobugs That frustration is due to the various factions believing their specific cause is what the president will change, and they finally caught on that those in power don't care about anything but their support.

two bugs

12:18 PM

He's somehow semi-popular and it's the most nonsensical thing

@Frank Pretty much. The TEA (they claim it's an acronym) baggers bit the hand that fed them!

Unionhawk

There were some tea party people in the parade yesterday

Sterno

Dude, don't say Tea Baggers

two bugs

TEA, of course, stands for Taxed Enough Already (despite out taxes being low)

Unionhawk

Apparently it's a paramilitary organization now

fredley

In the UK, we have quite a few prominent nutters who have their own parties with a few fringe seats here and there.

Unionhawk

12:19 PM

/shrug

two bugs

I mean, every President cuts taxes. We pay low rates for the civilized world

Unionhawk

@fredley "Nigel" is an offensively british name

two bugs

You also hear people say Trump is a "regular guy"

Which is... no. Absolutely not.

Frank

Trump is an idiot who doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut.

two bugs

Hi everyone, just a regular guy who inherited a huge fortune from my dad!

fredley

12:20 PM

@Unionhawk Abbreviated "Nige", as in "N-eye-j"

Unionhawk

@Frank I mean, to be fair, if that were the only thing, then he'd be a regular guy

Frank

@Unionhawk Except he has enough money to ensure his views get heard.

two bugs

@fredley Wait is one of the arguments for leaving the EU really "we can be an empire again!"

Frank

That's the only reason he can run.

Sterno

I think what they really mean is "not a career politician"

Unionhawk

12:21 PM

Yes

fredley

@twobugs yyyyyyyyyup

two bugs

@Sterno It's hard to say. That's usually listed as a distinct separate thing, but I'm sure there is some overlap

fredley

@twobugs His campaign exists in a totally distorted reality, which it gets away with because a large number of American voters distrust news-media... with good reason...

@twobugs yyyyyyyyyup

Robotnik

@twobugs Something something "Make England great again"?

fredley

@Robotnik basically

two bugs

12:22 PM

@fredley Please start invading other European countries if you guys leave. I will enjoy this.

Unionhawk

Isn't the UK still technically an empire?

fredley

@Robotnik ~~England~~ Britain

@Unionhawk No, we're part of the commonwealth

Unionhawk

But more in the sense that the US is an empire-ish than the sense that the UK was an empire a long time ago?

Robotnik

@fredley right of course

Unionhawk

Oh

two bugs

12:23 PM

> The UK Government has begun operations to Enhance Freedom throughout Europe, starting in France.

Unionhawk

I should think they'd raze france to the ground

fredley

@twobugs rékte

Kevin van der Velden

Please take france and make them speak english, I'd vote for that

Sterno

A problem with politics is all the idiots on the internet. It's hard to get a clear picture sometimes of why people support the other side because we're already biased against them, and with the internet, there are so many idiots (or clowns, cc @GnomeSlice) out there that it's easy to see their stupid reasons for liking a candidate and extrapolating that to every other supporter, and then think of every single one of them as an idiot.

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden I love this. Nothing would make them more angry.

Kevin van der Velden

12:24 PM

Reducing the amount of french in the world is a good thing (TM)

fredley

@Sterno ~~on the internet~~.

Sterno

@fredley Internet gives them a platform to have their idiocy shared

fredley

@Sterno I think the weight of the internet is overstated. It's used mostly by the young (who don't vote), and getting any real measure of what sentiment actually is amongst all the astroturfing and botspamming is impossible.

@Sterno You'd probably be amazed at how many people essentially don't use the internet

Sterno

@fredley Maybe, but you might also be surprised by how many older people do. My parents do. The adult neighbors I had growing up who are now 60+ years old do. One of them is the stupidest meme-reposting Trump supporters I've seen.

fredley

@Sterno The filter bubble effect though (only seeing the opinions of people with the same opinions) is more of a big deal IMO

Sterno

Sterno

Unionhawk

@fredley I don't

Robotnik

@Sterno 'The internet' (or certain sites on it, Google, FB etc) also has a habit of generally only exposing us to viewpoints that we agree with. So when we find one that we disagree with it's a huge thing

Kevin van der Velden

12:29 PM

The best gift we gave my grandma was a phone and internet connection so she could use whatsapp, she was 78 then

Unionhawk

I wish they lived up to half and failed to live up to the other

Sterno

I'm at least happy that this election cycle I don't have to be all like "Dude, we're voting for the same guy, but please just shut up. You're making everyone look bad."

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden My Dad is 58 and can barely use any technological device

I swear it's getting worse too

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley we explained how it worked and she could browse the internet and whatsapp

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden My Dad can barely do that any more

Not due to ageing, just due to becoming more bloody-minded about everything

Sterno

12:31 PM

@fredley Oh, and don't forget about talk radio. I don't know if that's big in the UK, but it's big in the US among the older folks

two bugs

I always forget talk radio is a thing

I don't know how anyone can stand it

NPR pisses me off enough

Unionhawk

Trust me, my Dad has SiriusXM 114 bookmarked.

two bugs

And they're usually semi-decent

Unionhawk

I'll let you guys figure out what 114 is

Spoiler alert: YUP

@fredley tell him to stop acting childish and adept =p

I really wonder who Trump will pick as VP

Unionhawk

23 secs ago, by Unionhawk

Spoiler alert: YUP

fredley

@Sterno BBC4 is big here, but not much else

two bugs

Bob Dole was speculating that Newt would be a good pick

That would be funny because you know the whole "family values" being championed by two guys who have divorced a bunch and are general slimeballs

Sterno

It's weird to me that liberal-leaning talk radio tends to fail spectacularly here.

fredley

12:33 PM

@KevinvanderVelden No. He makes excuses and gets angry

Sterno

You'd think it would be an even split

two bugs

But it would be unfunny because it would be serious

Private Pansy

@fredley I don't think BBC radio 4 is talk radio?

fredley

@PrivatePansy uuhhhhh yup

Exclusively

Private Pansy

Or do you mean big with old people

two bugs

12:33 PM

@Sterno Instead we just have really douchey liberal talkshows

fredley

Except when they play the national anthem / sailing away last thing at night

two bugs

Like Bill Maher

I will kick him in the nuts a thousand times if you give me the chance

Sterno

@twobugs The divorce thing isn't really a dealbreaker these days. Don't something like 50% of marriages end in divorce these days?

Unionhawk

@twobugs That seems excessive

fredley

bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_fourfm

@Sterno More like 33% iirc

Unionhawk

12:34 PM

And probably ineffective after like, 50

fredley

Solution: don't get married

two bugs

@Unionhawk Not excessive enough

Sterno

I should go ask on Skeptics so they can VTC it as whatever

two bugs

@Sterno Well, Trump has done it multiple times and I'm pretty sure in Newt's case there were other factors that made it more dispicable

Like him cheating on his dying wife or something?

Sterno

Anyway, point is, with that many people having been divorced or knowing/loving someone who has been, there's no longer a "You've been divorced? YOU SUCK AT FAMILY VALUES" correlation going on

two bugs

12:35 PM

I could be getting him mixed up with one of the other slimeballs

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley i.e. stop acting childish

two bugs

Trump also has the thing of "Yeah, I'd totally be banging my own daughter" going on for him

A real class act

fredley

@twobugs Also that picture with the article about his ex-wife

Kevin van der Velden

@twobugs yeaaaaah, that's just... what, how why

Sterno

@twobugs You're thinking of John Edwards, who was one of 2008's Democratic frontrunners

two bugs

12:37 PM

@KevinvanderVelden The actual quote is like "Yeah, my daughter is great, I'd probably be dating her if it was allowed" or something

Q: Can I play my original Skyrim save games on the legendary version?

I want to get all of the DLCs, but it will be cheaper to just buy the 'legendary' Skyrim pack rather than each DLC separately. I'm pretty far in my saved games on regular version and was wondering if they'll also be recognised on the legendary version? This is on Xbox 360

Kevin van der Velden

From what I've read he was asking other people things like "Isn't she hot"

two bugs

@Sterno No, but I'm also right

Sadly politicians are really bad at keeping their pants zipped

Newt ditches wifey #1 for wifey #2 while #1 is recovering from cancer surgery

Wifey #2 is diagnosed with MS so it's time for 'ol Newt to trade her in

Note that cheating on #2 with #3 coincides with him trying to impeach Bill Clinton

Sterno

@twobugs They weren't impeaching Clinton for "cheating on his wife"

two bugs

I can't remember what he was trying to impeach Clinton for. I'm sure it had nothing to do with extra-marital affairs, though!

@Sterno No, but that was a key part of the argument.

That it brought a lot of shame onto US politics

He did lie under oath, which is fuct.

Sterno

12:41 PM

@twobugs Which was what he was impeached for

I mean, the whole thing was dumb, don't get me wrong

two bugs

Yes, but I'm pointing out the extreme arrogance and hypocrisy of people like Newt railing about Clinton cheating on his wife while doing the exact same thing.

Did he also make some legitimate points? Yes.

Kevin van der Velden

Being a hypocrite does not necessarily make your points false

It probably means you shouldn't be bringing them but

Sterno

Actually, I was wrong, it was different perjury he was impeached for

Kevin van der Velden

(And you surely shouldn't defend against them when they're brought against you)

Sterno

SHIT BE CONFUSING

two bugs

12:44 PM

Bill Clinton is just a fascinating person to begin with. He did a lot to help the poor and minorities but he also set up the financial conditions for the 2008 banking crisis

And, ya'know, that whole impeachment thing.

Sterno

@KevinvanderVelden I don't even know that that's true. I could be an idiot and still realistically say "An idiot shouldn't be in the White House. That's a bad idea." I mean, I wish more Trump supporters would say this.

Man, I need to stop calling Trump an idiot. It's bad form.

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno I wouldn't call that hypocritical though. You're not "an idiot in the white house", you're an idiot

Unionhawk

And yet, not wrong

Well

two bugs

I think the messed up thing is that while there's good evidence Clinton lied under oath the really bad part is he is definitely not the first sitting President to have done that

Kevin van der Velden

So saying "idiots shouldn't be in the white house" isn't being a hypocrite

Unionhawk

12:46 PM

At least partially right?

Sterno

@KevinvanderVelden So assuming I actually thought extramarital affairs or whatever were important to being fit for president, would it then NOT be hypocritical for me to have an affair but still say "Someone who has affairs shouldn't be in the White House?" Same thing, right?

Unionhawk

I mean, if you acknowledge that group includes yourself, sure

Sterno

I mean, as long as I agree I'm also unfit for the White House, I'm not being a hypocrite.

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno if your argument is "affairs are bad if you are in the white house" then having affairs while not in the white house is not something I'd call being a hypocrite

Unionhawk

Like "an idiot shouldn't be in the white house, yes I'm aware that includes me"

Sterno

12:48 PM

There's a reason I don't run for mod on Arqade. :P

(WAIT, IT'S NOT EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS)

2

Kevin van der Velden

But if your argument is "affairs are bad and you shouldn't have them in the white house" then... yeah you're probably a hypocrite

Unionhawk

@Sterno Nice save

or something

Sterno

I enjoy drama and light trolling a little too much. It's a bad quality for a mod. I don't think it would be hypocritical to call out a mod who does it, even though I do.

Kevin van der Velden

Agreed

Sterno

This is getting way off point because I'm not going to read 500 articles on it, but I really doubt the point was ever "Damn, man, you cheated on YOUR WIFE, and that's why we're coming for you. How dare you cheat on her! She's a classy lady! FAMILY VALUES!"

He could have been single and it still would have been an issue.

Let's go back to talking about gorillas and parenting

two bugs

12:53 PM

@Sterno That was a significant part of it

Especially by people like good ol' Newt

Unionhawk

I'm glad other zoo people are coming out in support of the decision

two bugs

But getting back on topic - we should have impeached the gorilla

Unionhawk

You know, important people with opinions that matter

two bugs

Wait. Maybe that gorilla could have been the new supreme court justice we needed...

fredley

Anyone else considering nominating but not got round to it?

Did congress accept a new supreme court person yet?

@fredley So, real talk, no "oooo it's a mystery". I'm considering running for mod, but I'm undecided. Before I run I want to make sure I'm willing to devote the time required every day to being a moderator on the site. We've had quite a few moderators who have stepped up, only to step down withn about a year due to not keeping up with their moderator duties. I don't want to be another one of those mods, so I'm asking myself "Can I see myself devoting the time required in the long term?"

two bugs

1:00 PM

I wasn't really thinking about running, but @GodEmperorDune suggested I should and I can't tell if he was joking or not

Ronan

@twobugs I'd consider voting for you.

Wipqozn

Because it's easy to say "eah I'll totally devote that time", but 6 months down the road some of those mods just stop, and then it leads to other mods picking up the slack and needing to hold another election when they just can't deal withit anymore.

*[ EDITING INTESIFIES ]*

Wipqozn

@GraceNote True.

fredley

Basically nobody ever gets demodded for inactivity, unless they literally disappear for months

Wipqozn

@fredley Well my concern isn't being demoddded.If I stopped modding all together I'd feel obligated to step down.

fredley

@Wipqozn Don't worry about this. If the workload is becoming too much (as it has a bit recently), we just appoint some ~~fresh meat~~ new mods to balance the workload

Q: Skyrim crashes when I press continue or load

Whenever I press continue or load Skyrim crashes to my desktop. It doesn't say anything it just crashes. I currently have no mods installed. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

@fredley Okay. Well, if the requirements really are 30 minutes then that's not a problem. My concern was I'd to sign up, then in 2 years be like "lolyolo later losers", and leave other mods in a bad spot. I just don't like screwing people over. I blame my parents. They obviously raised me wrong. Being all concerned about other people, and always making sure to do your fair share.

Sterno

Yeah, your mom is the worst.

Wipqozn

@Sterno My parents are equally at fault for the person I am today.

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Is no problem to have to step down, be it overworking, not enough time, or even stuff like just "Modding's not my thing anymore".

Every mod who does this just does the usual thing - checks with the rest of their team "Hey if I leave will there be a ginormous hole of despair", and if the answer is yes then they poke us to setup elections.

Wipqozn

Like it's crazy to think of how much my parents have influenced me. Even in minor things. For example,when I get ice from the office ice tray if it's getting low I feel obligated to refill it. If I don't plan to refill it, I won't take ice. I get that from my father. It's a small thing, but I don't feel right taking ice if I don't put in the time to refill it if it's low.

Grace Note

That's a pretty conscientious and nice thing to do.

1:54 PM

@GraceNote well, that's good to know then. Perhaps I was worrying about, nothing, then.

Because although I know I'm able to say "yeah I'll be around for a couple more years", hard to say "in 3 years? yeah I'll totally be around"

UUuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh I just found this message again:

        private static string Encrypt(string tekst)
        {
            var rand = new Random();
            const int max = 9;
            return rand.Next(max).ToString() + rand.Next(max) + rand.Next(max) + rand.Next(max) + tekst + rand.Next(max) +
                   rand.Next(max) + rand.Next(max);

        }

Grace Note

It's hard for me to think anyone plans to think "I'll take up this volunteer position for... 4 years!"

Then again I've apparently been employed for almost 5 years here now, so... haha. I'm kinda bad with really paying heed to the years as they go by.

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden What in the

Wipqozn

@GraceNote holy crap, has it reallybeen 5 years?

Sterno

Guys, seriously though. Birthday present.

Grace Note

1:56 PM

@Wipqozn It'll be my anniversary in a couple months.

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk yeah, pretty much

Unionhawk

Does this seriously

Wipqozn

@Sterno Nominate yourself for mod, and then if you get elected, get her some of the sweet diamond perks.

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk yes

@fredley I have since changed the name in a commit marked "Changed dangerously misleading function name.". It is now called "WrapStringInRandomDigits"

Wipqozn

@GraceNote It is, and I blame my father.

Unionhawk

1:57 PM

Like, if it cast the string to an int maybe that theory could be partially valid

But that isn't how it works

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn your dad just sounds like the worst

Grace Note

Blame is a weird thing to give for good qualities.

Unionhawk

But I also doubt one can simply "cast a string to an int"

fredley

@Sterno Flowers, the 'I totally didn't forget your birthday present' present

Unionhawk

And also you wouldn't be able to undo that if it was valid

Kevin van der Velden

1:58 PM

@Unionhawk no, it all gets converted to strings in the + operator

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Pretty sure it's the perfect word choice (also I'm joking about blame, because my parents are honestly pretty bloody awesome, and helped formed me into the pretty rad dude I am today)

Grace Note

> Curse my father, for granting me these ruggedly handsome good lucks!

See that just sounds weird

Unionhawk

@KevinvanderVelden Right

Grace Note

@Wipqozn I just wanted to setup myself

fredley

@Wipqozn Are you sure your over-developed sense of social responsibility isn't just from being Canadian?
