@Wipqozn us vs alternative us

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn "deplorables"

they both did

and thats bad

BlueBarren

@Yuuki luke is going to die

making rey the last jedi

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice as with most trump things, it's a matter of scale

BlueBarren

it's pretty obvious with that title

Kevin van der Velden

"He bludgeoned someone to death. WELL SHE POKED SOMEONE ONCE"

GnomeSlice

7:03 PM

Wait what? Trump killed somebody?

GodEmperorDune

i don't recall "lock him up" being a rallying cry at hillary rallies, but because she said "basket of deplorables" they are on the same footing?

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice that... that was an analogy

On your ""deplorables"" thing

GodEmperorDune

she also never said that "he would be in jail" during a debate

she never called for a ban on all muslims entering the country

BlueBarren

Man why do you guys always talk about politics, it's so boring D:

or just political related stuff

I mean the whole trump stuff is interesting and all but it gets old

badp

@BlueBarren because we are 20-somethings who are worried about our future.

GodEmperorDune

7:05 PM

@BlueBarren suggest another topic?

badp

and each other's future.

GodEmperorDune

@badp i'm 30, and @sternold is @sternold

Kevin van der Velden

@badp except @sterno, he's a 200-something

BlueBarren

@badp Well I am too although it isn't my country...

@GodEmperorDune the new Star Wars title? :D

badp

@BlueBarren I'm also not in the US, but this only increases how concerned I am

BlueBarren

7:06 PM

don't get me wrong I'm concerned

badp

Trump has pretty much said that if Russia were to nuke Europe, he won't lift a finger

Q: Why don't the other Greybeards Speak? [Elder Scrolls]

I've noticed that out of all the Greybeards currently living in Tamriel, I've noticed that only Arnegir and Paarthurnax are able to/choose to speak English. The others (Borri, Einarth, and Wulfgar) only speak in the dragon tongue. Is there a specific reasoning for this? I'm unable to find an answ...

skyrim

GodEmperorDune

@badp more likely that they occupy everything rather than use nukes as that would damage the infrastructure they want to take over

user15026

@badp this. Even though I am only 20 something for a few more months. And not American. Canada touches America too much for me not to be concerned.

badp

@Ash for a generous enough value of "somethings"

the leading digit isn't that important

GodEmperorDune

7:07 PM

@badp it is literally the most significant digit

badp

@GodEmperorDune but alas not significant enough

GodEmperorDune

@badp well insignificant next to the power of the force

badp

yes.

@avery is also 16 and still concerned.

so there is leeway on both ends :P

avery

what is going on

I'm confused

badp

@avery concern

avery

7:09 PM

ah

Yuuki

@avery The end of the world. /s

I mean, it's like 80-20 on that "/s".

avery

@Yuuki oh, vodka time.

Yuuki

Maybe 90-10.

BlueBarren

@avery now now, bring enough to share

GnomeSlice

@GodEmperorDune That's a policy, not what I'm talking about

BlueBarren

7:10 PM

the end of the world is something I'll actually drink to

GnomeSlice

"everyone on the left is a whiny snowflake" "everyone on the right is a racist bigot"

us vs them

we're in this together

avery

@BlueBarren If I knew it and had like a week, I'd fly over to my boyfriend's place.

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice blaming a minority of the population for the country's problems is exactly an "us vs them" thing to do

GnomeSlice

The left likes to blame white men, I mean

badp

@GnomeSlice some of us are more in this than others

GodEmperorDune

7:11 PM

@GnomeSlice white men have been in power for a very long time

while bad things were happening, they didn't seem to mind. now that we want to end bad things, they are upset

GnomeSlice

you make it sound like all the white guys in america are having secret meetings where they talk about how to screw everyone else

Kevin van der Velden

And let's be honest. White people were the slaveholders and it's not women that are paying women... what 60% of what men make?

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice no, it is more of an emergent property of the system

Ronan

@GnomeSlice Not all of them, just the ones that just got elected.

GnomeSlice

@KevinvanderVelden if women got paid 60% less than men why arent people only hiring women?

Sterno

7:13 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Flagged as offensive

GnomeSlice

sounds like a great way to save money

Ronan

@GnomeSlice I have no idea if you're intentionally misunderstanding, but that's not how that works.

GnomeSlice

you're right, it's not, so don't present it as such

GodEmperorDune

@GnomeSlice because cultural stereotypes get in the way of it

Kevin van der Velden

Where was it again that they commisioned a report on what would most affect minority voters and then proceeded to do just that

@GnomeSlice errr

7:14 PM

@GnomeSlice that's not how...that doesn't fix the problem

BlueBarren

@avery if the world was ending in a way you knew I don't really see the infrastructure for stuff like air travel still being available since everyone would be panicking and dealing with stuff in their own way

GnomeSlice

@Ash thank you for your constructive input

Kevin van der Velden

Gender pay gap in the United States

The gender pay gap in the United States is the ratio of female to male median yearly earnings among full-time, year-round (FTYR) workers. The average woman's unadjusted annual salary has been cited as 78% to 82% of that of the average man's. However, after adjusting for choices made by male and female workers in college major, occupation, working hours, and parental leave, multiple studies find that pay rates between males and females varied by 5–6.6% or, females earning 94 cents to every dollar earned by their male counterparts. The remaining 6% of the gap has been speculated to originate from...

user15026

7:14 PM

@GnomeSlice you are most welcome.

Kevin van der Velden

80% not 60^ apparently

GnomeSlice

@KevinvanderVelden "adjusting for choices" there you go

GodEmperorDune

this is rapidly deteriorating, can we adjust subject before room timeouts please

Kevin van der Velden

> or, females earning 94 cents to every dollar earned by their male counterparts

GnomeSlice

@KevinvanderVelden so i can fire all my male employees and hire women for 6 cents less an hour?

awesome sign me up

7:16 PM

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

badp

yup. you're fired.

GnomeSlice

Whatever man

BlueBarren

@badp wow Don, this isn't the apprentice anymore

GnomeSlice

equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are not the same thing

murgatroid99

This is a statistical aggregate. It doesn't mean that any single employer is paying women less than men for exactly the same job. In fact, that is completely illegal, at least in America

GodEmperorDune

7:16 PM

@badp that's not right to do for @GnomeSlice's personal views if he hasn't abused his RO power

GnomeSlice

nor should they be considered as such

user15026

I don't think any of it is liking to blame any one group over the other, but when people in power are using the power to subject other people to notgood things, and the people in power all seem to come from one particular group, it's hard not to draw that conclusion.

badp

@GodEmperorDune no, but it was funny.

SaintWacko

@badp Eh...

GnomeSlice

like I said, us vs them

badp

7:17 PM

Just think, removing Gnomeslice allows us to have about 1 2/3rds of female room owners

Sterno

GodEmperorDune

@badp i thought we weren't doing RO removal jokes anymore and it wasn't funny

GnomeSlice

not a good mindset to get into

Yuuki

@badp Like funny funny or alternative funny?

Sterno

I mean, seriously. Go fuck yourself, CAPTCHA

user15026

7:17 PM

@GnomeSlice yes, but there is also a lack of the former, which does not help the latter.

GnomeSlice

dont fucking kick me

Kevin van der Velden

@Sterno what the hell

user15026

@Sterno my eyes... How are you supposed to determine anything out of that searing mess?

badp

knmmtt?

Sterno

khmmtt worked

GnomeSlice

7:18 PM

dont you fucking kick me again

SaintWacko

@Ash This. It may not necessarily be the correct conclusion, but it's a conclusion that's awfully hard to avoid

GodEmperorDune

@Sterno maybe the captcha knows that a human will get frustrated but a robot will keep trying to decipher it

Sterno

but yeah easily could have been N

BlueBarren

@Sterno I got "KNMMTT"

@Sterno oh I was close

SaintWacko

This is going nowhere good

Yuuki

7:19 PM

You see, I would've gone with two A's instead of the first M.

:|

GnomeSlice

excuse me for disagreeing with you

user15026

@Yuuki me too.

badp

I... don't think you got kicked @GnomeSlice

GodEmperorDune

@badp it forces a refresh when you lose RO

badp

@GodEmperorDune a kick is a 60 second single-room suspension

GnomeSlice

7:20 PM

somebody did

user15026

Yeah, there was no kicking, just the room refresh for RO loss

GnomeSlice

It bumped me to my profile page

badp

that's not what a kick does...

GnomeSlice

on mobile maybe i fat fingered. apologies

badp

i can be owner?

I got my face shot off..

badp

not yet

Yuuki

@badp Wait. Does "alternative" mean that P = NP by virtue of "alternative NP"?

Kevin van der Velden

7:21 PM

I can give you italics djsmiley2k

djsmiley2k

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden hue

MadMAxJr

P = alternative NP

badp

@KevinvanderVelden Impressive

Kevin van der Velden

Or not, it doesn't work

@djsmiley2k do you really want any sense of responsibility? Because I wouldn't

Kevin van der Velden

THERE

@badp HA

djsmiley2k

@BlueBarren I don't really have any at work

it's weird feeling

:D

then again 2 lives depend on me

well, more like 7+fish

user15026

7:22 PM

@djsmiley2k I think that counts

badp

@KevinvanderVelden you have this one

BlueBarren

@djsmiley2k now that sounds like responsibility, quickly abort

avery

@badp I'm 2/3 of a person, in scale of BMI. And female. (mewants italics)

Yuuki

@djsmiley2k Wow, you have maybe 6 kids and some undisclosed number of fish?

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki maybe he is a goat fan

badp

7:23 PM

@avery wait, does that combine

user15026

Guys, we really don't need more ROs, especially with how many mods frequent this room :)

Yuuki

Hmm... this algorithm is proving to be a lot more complicated to write than I thought it would be.

badp

@Ash I'll find another time to switch ROs around

avery

user15026

@badp there's no need to mess with the RO stuff, and it just causes chaos

BlueBarren

7:25 PM

@Ash but with all this authority around it feels like I own the world when I sneakily do something bad

user15026

@BlueBarren I...see.

BlueBarren

murders @Unionhawk

avery

I didn't kill Maid Cafe yet, which is... either good or bad, idk.

badp

@Ash I had promised this before given the considerable overlap between people we gave RO to and people who got elected

BlueBarren

now now, it wasn't me

user15026

7:26 PM

@BlueBarren why are you this thing

GodEmperorDune

@avery hue

BlueBarren

because it's wrong to be that thing

user15026

... I somehow accidentally a word there. Oh well

GodEmperorDune

@avery alternative caption: when you forgot to upload the LGBT, civil rights, and climate change pages to your dad's website

Yuuki

Hmm... so I need to filter an array based on some "collision" criteria, keeping as many as possible, but also I need to keep the first and last values.

This is a lot more complicated to write concisely than I thought it would be.

@avery hue

is that a meme maker site or your mad photoshop skills?

@GodEmperorDune GIMP^TM

GodEmperorDune

@avery oh right, you converted to linux

i missed an opportunity for an MSPAINT dig

avery

I mean I have mbpaint

(medibang paint pro)

BlueBarren

7:32 PM

@GodEmperorDune don't worry I still have MSPaint and Windows, you can make fun of me

badp

also Important news

mspaint.exe is back in Windows 10

it doesn't have an entry in the start menu any longer for some reason

but you can still Win-R mspaint enter

GodEmperorDune

@badp i don't see how mspaint makes you a winnar

badp

I guess the Windows team got the message as soon as Stardock started saying they'd repackage Classic Paint

or whatever

GodEmperorDune

the key here is that @badp is not separated from his ART

badp

of course I'm not

there are unalienable moral rights binding me and my ART forever.

and you can't do ANYTHING about it.

7:46 PM

I need to work on developing stuff for the startup but 1) I'm watching a movie 2) the cat here absolutely destroyed my hands today >_>

Unionhawk

Nope, but that's because there's no good art of the ghost ship

:(

This is a travesty that I can't do the thing

(the ghost ship is that fire looking thing in the background)

BlueBarren

@Unionhawk I needed to break some rules... I mean uh the person who murdered you needed to break the rules. I totally have no idea who that was

Unionhawk

WILL THE COURT REPORTER READ THE TRANSCRIPT

BlueBarren

@Unionhawk I totally felt like playing Twilight Princess yesterday but I couldn't find an ISO for the Wii version on a site that didn't seem super sketchy, it was quite sad really.

Unionhawk

Why would you want an ISO for the Wii version?

Gamecube is best version

And it wouldn't require an IR bar or anything

badp

7:53 PM

what's next, you're gonna tell me we should play Wind Waker in Italian because of the shorter copy

that was dreadful

MadMAxJr

The court issues a ressurection to Unionhawk under the condition he calm down and wait for Friday.

GodEmperorDune

@badp is italian wind waker like italian spiderman?
