Ronan Forman

6:14 PM

@GnomeSlice No, I mean when the does that blur bit at the end nothing happens to the bronze one.

Mana

Apparently he isn't even interested in her, he's just very sensitive to the idea of his friends going out with eachother

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Must just be because of the colour, because it's applied to the entire image. It's fine.

Wipqozn

I assume by sensitive you mean he's insane.

Mana

it was the weirdest thing to hear. He was a really chill guy in high school with lots of friends, I don't know what happened.

GnomeSlice

Also whoa, youtube changed in the past 7 minutes.

Mana

6:15 PM

@GnomeSlice What changed?

GnomeSlice

@Mana The player looks different.

Wipqozn

@Mana He must have a mental illness of some sort to change like that.

Mana

@GnomeSlice Oh yeah, they've been rolling that change out for a bit

Wipqozn

How does the player look different?

GnomeSlice

Mana

6:17 PM

@GnomeSlice Looks the same for me, guess my account hasn't been privileged yet

GnomeSlice

I see the old one on my laptop.

I guess.

Because I've seen this new design before, here at school.

Ullallulloo

My account didn't get chosen either.

Mana

It will eventually, assuming the change doesn't get reverted.

My impression is that big sites like these roll out changes across users gradually, as a kind of stress test. Get some feedback from the general youtube users.

Wipqozn

It's also possible @GnomeSlice is lying.

@Mana either that or on a server by server basis

@Wipqozn Well yeah, that's what I mean.

@Mana ah, not what you said, et cetera

GnomeSlice

Hydrophobia is still on sale?

Weird.

Wipqozn

6:21 PM

so you can understand my confusion

agent86

@GnomeSlice Yeah, the daily deals change, but the overall sale is the whole time, I believe

3 more days on any of the 'non-daily' deals, that is.

RedriderX

hey all

agent86

of course, your best bet is to buy on the daily deal, or wait until the last day. nothing sucks worse than buying at regular sale price and then realizing that they've discounted it further a day after you bought it.

RedriderX

List of emoticons

This is a list of notable and commonly used emoticons or textual portrayals of a writer's mood or facial expression in the form of icons. The Western use of emoticons is quite different from Eastern usage, and Internet forums, such as 2channel, typically, show expressions in their own ways. In recent times, graphic representations, both static and animated, have taken the place of traditional emoticons in the form of icons. Western The emoticon in Western style is written most often from left to right. Thus, most commonly, one will see the eyes on the left, followed by the nose and mou...

Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease also known in medical literature as Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. There is no cure for the disease, which worsens as it progresses, and eventually leads to death. It was first described by German psychiatrist and neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer in 1906 and was named after him. Most often, AD is diagnosed in people over 65 years of age, although the less-prevalent early-onset Alzheimer's can occur much earlier. In 2006, there were sufferers worldwide. Alzheimer's is predicted to affect 1 in 85 people globally by 2050. Although Alz...
