Oh nice, here's the clip

What I'm getting at is if you are going to tell Americans how their electoral system works, and you don't understand it yourself, it's not going to go well

Q: Uplink server isn't linked correctly

I'm currently playing uplink and I'm trying to connect to the Roman server XVIIC. However, it seems that I am currently not able to access due to having disagreed with a diamond centurion. How do I access the main database without getting positive rep? p.s. the resistance never dies

8:05 PM

@Chippies This guy seems pretty cool

@GnomeSlice he's pretty funny

@twobugs "Can he destroy the world" Yes the president of the United States of America can very easily destroy the world

8:09 PM

@badp True

He can

Would he? No. But I think he would come close

Can he really just say "okay guys launch all the nukes" and everybody will do it?

It's a lot more complicated than that

But the President does have a lot a of power

@ardaozkal why is this getting downvoted?

8:26 PM

@Chippies no idea

@Chippies rude/abusive flags

We need a mod now.

A bunch of games including King of Dragon Pass for $4

cc @LessPop_MoreFizz

@Unionhawk he means question

@Unionhawk on what?

8:27 PM

It's getting downvoted because he said ROM

oic

@GnomeSlice ooh, I missed that bit

@Chippies that deleted answer

I thought he wanted to trade from GBC to 3DS Virtual Console version

which seems like a great question, even though the answer is still "not possible"

but I can see why it's getting downvoted now...

@Unionhawk I don't have enough rep to see deleted answers

@Chippies the one posted here in chat

the thing you replied to

8:29 PM

@GnomeSlice OH, I didn't read the onebox

I thought it was just a link to the question, lol

Silly @Chippies. Tricks are for kids.

@Wipqozn and halloween?

@PrivatePansy I finally replayed up to where I was, and just beat the pyramid! Woo!

HE IS NOW ATTACKING MY GITHUB

I know that picture

Looking back at it I'm pretty sure I was stuck with the optional mission (which I also beat today :D), and never seriously started the pyramid.

I know that picture

Might as well burn this, too

8:39 PM

Lots of "I can't vote in the election" today

@fredley You would

the UK is filled with bullies. All I wanted to do was spread my glorious gift of Italian facism to the world. Is that so wrong?

@Wipqozn The Russians started it!

Things were going fine until I declared war on Yugoslavia, and then it started World War 2.

Poland is still alive and kicking though.

Q: What is my clanmate's email address

I'm just a little curioud about looking into if there is a way to know what are the email addresses linked to other players To be honest, I want to know the new email address my girlfriend created... without the trouble of looking into her phone. Littlest info will def be appreciated much. Thanks!

Well Germany seems to be doing well, but Italy is just being destroyed.

This reminds me of something...

I can't quite put my finger on what, thoguh.

oh France has gone to war with itself. Well that's nice

Part of what used to be France raise up as Vichy France, joined the axis, and is now trying to destroy what remains of Real France

@ardaozkal What's the issue for you there?

> I called it and asked for the ban. Must be tough

What I've learned is that I should not be put in charge of an army.

@ardaozkal I think he means "we must become tough" not "tough luck orlando victims!"

8:57 PM

@GnomeSlice He means "We must ban muslims"

> I called it and asked for the ban.

he is trying to gain votes from those peoples' deaths.

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice Hint: @ardaozkal is a muslim

(Also accepted for this purpose: Hint @ardaozkal is a remotely decent human being)

(Because seriously, wth america why are you not collectively shutting this guy down?)

@KevinvanderVelden I don't think @GnomeSlice knew what trump was referring to

@KevinvanderVelden trying

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk YOU'RE FAILING

@Wipqozn I mean, he was here for earlier discussions of it

9:02 PM

@ardaozkal I think the shooter was a US citizen. This looks like it could get rather ugly

@MadScientist yes. His parents were immigrants from an islamic country tho.

@MadScientist Does he have brownn skin? That's all racists give a shit about.

Man, fuck racism. Just putting that out there.

Oh and now Poland has fallen

user image

@KevinvanderVelden Something something "he says hwat we're all thinking"

rest in peace. this guy just destroyed my possible future in US

9:05 PM

@twobugs SORRY NOT SORRY

@Wipqozn How do you feel about Employment Equity

Just curious

@ardaozkal I would recommend to stop engaging PeterDCarter, just block him. It won't go anywhere

@GnomeSlice I'm not @Wipqozn but it's a lot more complex issue than most people who are against it want to pretend

It's not as simple as "racism is over, everything's all good now"

@twobugs Are you familiar with the Canadian employment equity act?

just asking

@MadScientist locked convo

9:07 PM

I'm not

FWIW I would tweak affirmative action or other systems like that to target lower socio-economic classes more than race

@twobugs So called "positive discrimination" is a thing

Employment equity (Canada)

Employment equity, as defined in Canadian law by the Employment Equity Act, requires employers to engage in proactive employment practices to increase the representation of four designated groups: women, people with disabilities, Aboriginal peoples, and visible minorities. The Act states that "employment equity means more than treating persons the same way but also requires special measures and the accommodation of differences." The Act requires that employers remove barriers to employment that disadvantage members of the four designated groups. The term reasonable accommodation is often used for...

@twobugs Yes, agreed

But to discount the notion of race being a huge factor in today's society is laughable

And, for what it's worth, affirmative action was originally used in college admissions and meant less than legacy admissions which overwhelmingly favored white people

@twobugs huge?

9:12 PM

Yes. Even if it isn't as obvious, there's ample evidence that it still plays a large part.

@twobugs Yes, and now a black person with lower grades can be selected over a white person

Asians need higher grades than anyone else

@GnomeSlice Except Affirmative Action was struck down

I feel like this conversation isn't going to end well.

Obama is not a bad man. Sad to see people hating him and him going (he might be back in 4 years tho, hopefully).

It's not. I'm backing off

9:13 PM

I know that it is about laws, only 2 or 3 times of nomination allowed in a row

I think that's wise.

Am I really the only one capable of talking about this stuff around here without throwing a fit and having to leave

whatever, sorry if I upset you

Kevin van der Velden

@ardaozkal I believe it's only 2 times, period

Nobody is throwing a fit

@Wipqozn if by "end well" you mean flags flying everywhere until a CM shuts the room down for 3 days then sure it will :)

9:13 PM

@ardaozkal let me just say - right call on locking that GH issue.

@ardaozkal He's a great man, but I wouldn't say he was the best president

what is going on

did someone drop the link on mod chat?

@ardaozkal 2 terms ever, consecutive or otherwise

I bet they have a war room on potential outside situations

@KutuluMike ever? ow :(

9:14 PM

Sekrit

I found it, actually

A LIKELY STORY

2 terms is a constitutional amendment. Those are very difficult to pass or change

Kevin van der Velden

@ardaozkal 22nd amendment apparently: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

Hope you get a better prez next time.

9:15 PM

So it's not going to change anytime soon

@KutuluMike Basically, yes.

@ArtOfCode ah, I see

two full terms plus at most 1/2 a term if the VP is promoted due the president leaving office early.

so under no circumstances more than 10 years

Stephen Harper changed canadian law so he could stay in office longer than he was supposed to

yikers

Also, I apologize about my message above, nobody is throwing a fit

I was going to say that the term limit is "relative new" but I guess 65 years ago isn't all that new anymore

9:17 PM

@KutuluMike Yeah, it was passed directly in response to FDR

oddly enough, there are no term limits on legislators, only the president

Kevin van der Velden

Heck, you guys have really important positions that are for life

@ardaozkal @KutuluMike is right about the term limits, and there is a little-known mod-only chatroom. Considering the scale of that guy, I would say they are almost certainly keeping tabs on it from there.

Kevin van der Velden

(Here we only have ceremonial positions for life)

Yes, Supreme Court Justices (of which the next president will likely be able to nominate at least 2)

9:20 PM

that's a terrifying thought

@John you mean network ban scale?

@Unionhawk yes

He's clearly had run-ins with several different sites

and he shouldn't be getting 2, but of course, our legislature is going to stall the current nominee for another 6 months until it expires

Kevin van der Velden

@twobugs Congress is still not doing it's constitutional duty?

Nominations still pass through the senate, but in the event of a Trump Presidency I would expect Republican controlled senate and house

Kevin van der Velden

9:21 PM

Also what'd you do to piss this guy off @ardaozkal? ;p

@KevinvanderVelden Of course not

@KevinvanderVelden NOPE

Kevin van der Velden

@twobugs got to get that campaign financing

Oh, is there drama I'm missing

@KevinvanderVelden @ardaozkal is basically the only person who kept talking to him after everyone else stopped

9:21 PM

@KevinvanderVelden explained.

Q: What's considered a step in Pokemon?

so I've been breeding a lot of pokemon recently and I've been doing the loop around the Battle Resort, which led to me wondering what is considered to be a step in the Pokemon breeding world? Is it now calculated through how long you've been walking or how many steps you've taken? I ask this beca...

Oh

Kevin van der Velden

@John hmm meh

I missed the drama so

I had no idea so I first explained then he found me.

So I asked

I'm confused about what is happening but it sounds like not my business so meh

I trust mods will handle this

9:23 PM

@twobugs You remember that guy who caused a ruckus is election chat a couple days ago?

it's just him, still

@twobugs yes

Does anybody know how to make steam notifications not lower the volume of the rest of the pc temporarily

seems like that's new

@GnomeSlice I didn't know they did that

@GnomeSlice sec

@John I don't read election chat so I have no idea who that is

9:24 PM

they didn't until like yesterday it seems

user image

set to do nothing

Again, not my problem though and I hope everything is resolved smoothly

@twobugs I hope it was

@twobugs Oh. Not really anything interesting, just a...divisive...individual

What did I do? What did he do? Can someone explain?

Kevin van der Velden

9:25 PM

Well time for bed for me, bye chat o/

@ardaozkal The only people who actually know are the mods, and I wouldn't ask. They said he was a "known network troll" from the first day he showed up in our part of SE.

The whole thing is over now on SE, it's thoroughly handled.

Well, maybe with the occasional account matching missiles required

@John ah

@MadScientist ok, I didn't intend doing anything wrong

If it spills over to him contacting you anywhere else and he harasses you about Stack Exchange elsewhere, do use those companies' "contact us" or "report abuse" options. Don't give him the chance to get to you.

@ardaozkal no worries, you didn't.

I should learn how the navy works so I can invade the UK

not on stage, but in front of her fans at her signing

jesus christ

@GnomeSlice yeah. couple of days ago. About 2 miles from the mass shooting last night, IIRC

@MadScientist thanks mods, i thought something was up when he was asking a meta question about "how come i can't chat even though i'm banned on multiple sites?""

9:41 PM

what in the fuck

been a bad weekend to live here

@KutuluMike shit is so fuct

Assuming Is til have a navy. @fredley land may have destroyed it.

10:02 PM

US needs gun control. Even filthy frank has two shotguns.

@ardaozkal yes we do

user15026

Owning guns is not the problem.

And watch at least one of his videos. He is crazy (yet fun to watch), but you can't trust him with shotguns.

user15026

I know plenty of people who own guns and who have never shot a person.

Yeah, however some people can't be trusted with a gun.

user15026

10:03 PM

I'm not arguing that

user15026

Some people can't be trusted.

user15026

I'm just cutting off the "all guns are bad and people who own them are bad" before it gets a chance to start because that's not an argument I feel like having today. My apologies.

@AshleyNunn yeah, you are absolutely right.

Q: Minecraft Continues to crash

So the last few days ive been having a lot of problems with my minecraft it used to work perfectly fine but it went to the point where I did a system restore because my launcher wouldn't even boot up.I used to use optifine perfectly fine but now it just keeps on crashing my minecraft and gives me...

@AshleyNunn that's fair. I would also like a sizable portion of my government to stop promoting homophobic laws

user15026

10:07 PM

@GodEmperorDune I agree, that is a thing that needs to stop like yesterday

user15026

(Sorry, I am tired and out of spoons so I am a little prickly this evening. So I probably will not react well to things.)

@AshleyNunn I'd send you spoons if it's a thing that could be done

user15026

@GodEmperorDune I appreciate it :) I had a good day (I went to the streetcar museum and rode three different kinds of old streetcars)

user15026

but I am just very tired and sore and done being a person who thinks about things

@AshleyNunn Read a book

10:11 PM

Did anyone here read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series?

user15026

@Wipqozn Yeah, once I get my million groceries put away (it was a good week for sales on things I like) I am going to make some tea and read more Outlander

user15026

@ardaozkal I have :)

@AshleyNunn I've finished the first book a few days ago and liked it, do you recommend the other two?

user15026

@ardaozkal The first one is the best one, but the others are worth reading if you liked the first one

user15026

They weren't my favourite books but they were decent enough

10:12 PM

TBH the first one was... weird, especially the parts that happened to lisbeth in middle, but I kinda liked the storytelling and characters

user15026

Yeah, I know what you mean

newyorker.com/magazine/2016/04/11/gay-talese-the-voyeurs-motel

OH THAT'S HOW RESOURCE WORK

Well that's just fantaistc

10:32 PM

This is really weird indeed

@ardaozkal I'm sorry I couldn't see this before. That's appalling. I'm escalating this

@badp already was afaik

If he does engage someone else in some other ways, I would advise you to stay safe. Do not engage. Block on sight.

When a guest checked in, he would say to Donna, in the guest’s hearing, that someone had just called to report leaving behind a suitcase with a thousand dollars inside. Foos then watched from the attic as the new guest found the suitcase and deliberated over whether to break the lock and look inside or return the suitcase to the motel office.

Out of fifteen guests who were subjected to the honesty test, including a minister, a lawyer, and an…
